Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an authentication method and an authentication apparatus for a combination of a number and a pattern using a mixed number input /

The present invention relates to an authentication method using a touch screen, and more particularly, to an authentication method and apparatus for processing an authentication code in which numbers and patterns are combined using a mixed input unit capable of inputting numbers and patterns.

The following shows the existing authentication cipher methods and features.

[Numeric PIN Password] Numeric PIN The 4 digit number has about 10,000 cases, but there is a risk of leakage from public places. Therefore, there is a way to enter the six-digit password, but it is difficult to memorize more than four digits of the human head usually. There are limits to the amount of time and effort required to enter the six digits.

[Password (alphanumeric)] The number of alphanumeric passwords is high and security is high. But the opposite side effect is that the user has to memorize and input a lot of data. Since 10 numbers and 26 alphabetic characters must be selected on the small screen of the smartphone, the input is inconvenient and time consuming when using the keypad. There are inconveniences to enter while switching between the numeric keypad and the character keypad. Especially, according to the aging population society, the elderly population is increasing and it is not easy for elderly people to memorize and input complex letters and numbers.

[Pattern image drawing] A pattern composed of 9 points is input by connecting 4 or more points successively. At that time, the pattern is very secure because it has about 32,000 cases. However, when four or six points are connected when using a pattern, there is a problem in that the number of cases is not large and a third party can easily follow the situation of drawing the pattern.

[Miscellaneous] New unlocking methods such as time difference, rhythm, beat, shape, and gradual release are proposed by the unlocking method, but users have to memorize new things and learn to use or input them. There is a dot.

As described above, the number of authentication cryptographic methods such as 4-digit PIN, 4-digit number, 6-digit to 8-digit number of alphabetic and numeric combination, and other time difference is not small in number, There are limitations such as the need to switch between keyboards, the burden of memorizing new items, and the number of inputs to increase security.

Therefore, there is a need for a new concept of security authentication method which has a simple but high level of security without memorizing additional information by using known information.

Thus, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for quickly and conveniently authenticating a high security level.

The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for controlling an authentication password that combines numbers and patterns to provide a high level of security while the user is using well known information.

The present invention also provides a method and an apparatus for a number and a pattern mixed input unit capable of inputting numbers and patterns in one input unit in order to quickly and simply input the numbers and patterns.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an authentication method in an authentication server that combines numbers and patterns using a combination of numbers and patterns. The authentication method includes transmitting a number and a pattern combination input unit to a terminal device of a user requesting authentication, The method comprising the steps of: receiving an authentication password obtained by combining numbers and patterns from the terminal device; determining whether an authentication password obtained by combining the received numbers and patterns matches an authentication password obtained by combining a pre- And successfully terminating the password authentication if the comparison result is identical.

The present invention also provides a method of requesting authentication to an authentication server by combining a number and a pattern using a combination of numbers and patterns, the method comprising: inputting an authentication password obtained by combining a number and a pattern using a combination of numbers and patterns, And receiving an authentication result in accordance with the input information from the authentication server, wherein the authentication server having an authentication password that combines the numbers and patterns combines numbers and patterns in which the input information is stored in advance And a step of judging whether or not one of the authentication codes is authenticated.

In addition, the present invention provides an authentication system that combines a number and a pattern using a combination of numbers and patterns, comprising: a database for storing, as each member information, an authentication password obtained by combining numbers and patterns as authentication codes; And a server for receiving authentication input information combining a number and a pattern for authentication from the apparatus and comparing the authentication password obtained by combining the numbers and patterns of the terminal apparatus with the authentication password previously stored in the database and performing authentication processing, The terminal device receives the touched number as the authentication input information when the number is touched on the number and the pattern mixed input section and receives the pattern as the authentication input information when the drag is performed.

According to the present invention, since the numeric keypad and the pattern image keypad can be integrated into one keypad and input, respectively, it is possible to input quickly and simply without switching between the numeric keypad and the pattern keypad.

Also, according to the present invention, when a user sets an authentication password by combining a 4-digit number and a pattern, there are about 20 billion cases, so that the user has a much higher security than a conventional 4-digit number or pattern input do. On the other hand, users do not have to memorize new password entries, they are easy to forget, easy to input and easy to input.

(1) Authentication password leakage is difficult. It is difficult for a third party to remember to input all four digits of the password and pattern image in succession.

(2) Authentication password input is simple and short. One password and one pattern can be entered sequentially on the same keyboard keypad.

(3) Even when smartphone is lost, unlock password is not leaked because it is difficult to grasp the combination of 4 digits and pattern.

(4) Input is simple and there is no need to memorize. There is no need to memorize unfamiliar input elements such as conventional additional numbers, letters, figures, time differences, rhythms, and beats.

(5) The unlocked 4 digits and patterns are easily configured with familiar elements but the number of security and cases is very high. There are about 20 billion cases.

(6) It is possible to input quickly and simply from one keypad without having to switch the numeric keypad and pattern keypad.

First, the memory 12 stores various data generated and utilized in the terminal. Such data includes data generated according to application execution of the terminal and all types of data that can be generated using the terminal or received from the outside and stored. Particularly, the data according to the embodiment of the present invention may include authentication password information combining numbers and patterns provided in the terminal. In particular, the memory 12 receives and stores the input unit 14 for inputting the numbers and the patterns mixed from the authentication server 30.

The display unit 13 may be formed of a liquid crystal display (LCD), and displays menus, input data, function setting information, and various other information of the terminal. The display unit 13 also displays a screen corresponding to the authentication password.

The input unit 14 includes a hardware keyboard or the like capable of inputting a plurality of numbers and patterns for receiving commands from a user. In this case, the input unit 14 senses a user's touch input through a virtual keyboard or the like displayed on the touch screen, and transmits the sensed result to the control unit 11 . The input unit 14 generates a touch or drag event corresponding to an authentication password command having a predetermined encryption value in a state in which a screen related to the authentication password is output on the touch screen, and transmits the generated touch or drag event to the control unit 11. The authentication command of the predetermined encryption value includes a predetermined numeric password, a touch key corresponding to a drag signal for inputting a pattern, and the like.

The communication unit 15 transmits and receives data necessary for data communication required for authentication under the control of the control unit 11. [

The control unit 11 performs an overall control function for the terminal 10 and controls the signal flow between the respective components. Specifically, the control unit 11 controls the input unit 14 to detect a touch by a user after switching to an authentication password setting or input step according to an embodiment of the present invention. When a touch is detected, the corresponding touch number is input. If a drag is detected, the pattern is input. Accordingly, the control unit 11 recognizes the authentication password according to the input number and pattern combination key, and transmits it to the authentication server 30.

Also, the control unit 11 receives the number and the pattern combination input unit from the authentication server and stores it in the memory 12. When the user requests authentication, the control unit 11 controls the display unit 13 to display the input unit.

The controller 11 controls the keypad of the input unit 14 according to a preset method according to a user's touch or drag, a method of displaying a pattern chain (trajectory), a method of displaying the dragged keys as a pattern image , And controls to switch the keypad to the pattern keypad and switch the keypad to the original mixed keypad when the pattern input is completed according to the end of the drag.

For example, when the user touches the number 4 on the keypad, the control unit 11 inputs the number 4 as the authentication code. If it is a Z-shaped drag, the control unit 11 inputs it as a pattern of a Z-shaped image. When the user inputs <8, 3, 4, pattern image, 9> as the authentication password on the input unit 14 to set the authentication password, the control unit 11 transmits the input authentication password to the authentication server 30 .

FIG. 3 shows a configuration of a server for authentication in which numbers and patterns of an authentication server 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention are combined. Referring to FIG. 3, the authentication server 30, which is a combination of a number and a pattern according to the present embodiment, includes a control unit 31, a database 40 for storing authentication codes obtained by combining numbers and patterns, a communication unit 32, .

First, if there is an authentication request from the terminal 10, the control unit 31 transmits the number and pattern combination input unit to the terminal 10. Thereafter, the terminal 10 receives the authentication password obtained by combining numbers and patterns, and stores the authentication password in the database 40 as an authentication password. If there is an authentication password confirmation request in which the number and the pattern are combined from the terminal 10, the control unit 31 compares the authentication password with the number and pattern combination stored in the database 40 to determine whether the authentication password is correct. (32) to the terminal (10).

The control unit 31 may include at least one of a stock transaction, a bank financial transaction, a mobile banking, an Internet shopping, a game, a door lock, and a portal site authentication server.

The database 40 stores an authentication password obtained by combining numbers and patterns under the control of the control unit 31. [ In addition, the database 40 stores the number and pattern combination input unit and provides it to the terminal 10. The authentication password stored in the database 40 includes a combination of numbers and patterns, and preferably includes a password consisting of three numbers, one pattern, four numbers, and one pattern. The combination of the four numbers and the pattern 1 may be a combination of a pattern, a number, a number, a number, a number, a pattern, a number, a number, a number, Number, pattern, number>, <number, number, number, number, pattern>. The combinations are determined according to the user's selection and are combined in the same manner as in the above example, and descriptions of other examples are the same, so that they are omitted.

The communication unit 32 is responsible for requesting and transmitting an authentication password that is a combination of numbers and patterns between the terminal 10 and the authentication server 30.

Hereinafter, a setting method for setting and registering the authentication password of the combination of numbers and patterns using the input unit for numbers and patterns according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4 in the authentication server 30.

Referring to FIG. 4, the user can set an authentication password setting function by selecting an item related to the authentication password setting among various items of the authentication password setting menu provided by the authentication server 30.

In step 200, the terminal determines whether an authentication password setting menu of numbers and patterns is selected by the user using the number and pattern combination input unit. If the authentication password setting menu is selected, the number and pattern combination input unit 14 for setting the authentication password are displayed. For example, a numeric keypad 14 and a pattern keypad 14 for inputting a combination of numbers and patterns according to an embodiment of the present invention are displayed.

If the user touches the number on the keypad 14 in step 205, the controller 11 receives the corresponding number of the key touched in step 210. [ If the user drags the keypad on the keypad 14 in step 215, the controller 11 recognizes the input of the pattern in step 220 and receives the pattern. When the user completes the input of the numbers and patterns and commands the password setting in step 225, the controller 11 transmits the numbers and patterns input by the user to the authentication server 30 in step 230 . In step 235, the authentication server 30 stores the number and pattern combination authentication password input from the terminal 10 in the database 40 as an authentication code of a combination of numbers and patterns. When the authentication password setting is completed through this process, the authentication password setting registration process in which the number and the pattern are combined ends.

On the other hand, the authentication password is a set of password values set by the user, which can be set by the user and includes values and order of numbers or patterns set by the user, and the number of passwords is set by the user. Of course, if the user does not determine the number of ciphers separately, the preset values in the authentication server are applied.

For example, a user can choose how to combine numbers and patterns as authentication codes, and select a total of five authentication ciphers, four numbers and one pattern.

Accordingly, when the user selects the numeral and pattern combination authentication cipher system as the authentication cipher, the control unit displays the numeric keypad and the pattern combination keypad. When the user presses the number 3 key, the key 3 is recognized. When the user presses the number key 4, When the user drags the keypad in the shape of Z, the pattern is input as a pattern of Z-letter images. When the user presses the numbers 7 and 2 respectively and selects the save button, the controller reads <3, 4, pattern (Z), 7, 2> Authentication password, and transmits the password to the authentication server. The authentication server stores <3, 4, pattern (Z), 7, 2> in the database as the authentication code of the combination of numbers and patterns.

Hereinafter, the numbers and numbers using the keypad of the number and pattern combination

As the operation of setting the authentication password of the pattern combination is completed, the operation of authenticating the authentication password of the combination of numbers and patterns using the keypad of numbers and patterns in the terminal will be described.

FIG. 5 illustrates an authentication method using a number and pattern combination authentication password using a keypad with a number and a pattern in a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 400, the terminal determines whether there is a user input. If the user touches a number on the keypad in step 405, the controller 11 recognizes the corresponding number, which is touched in step 410, as an authentication code. If the user drags the keypad on the keypad in step 415, the controller 11 recognizes the keypad as a pattern in step 420. When the user input is completed in step 425, the controller 11 transmits the authentication password of the combination of numbers and patterns inputted in step 430 to the authentication server 30. In step 435, the control unit 31 of the authentication server 30 reads the authentication password of the combination of numbers and patterns registered in the database 40, and compares the input authentication password. If it is determined in step 440 that the authentication password is identical, the controller 31 transmits authentication success to the terminal 10 in step 445.

An example of an authentication password setting or authentication operation of a combination of a number and a pattern using the keypad with numbers and patterns will be described with reference to FIG. 6 to FIG. 28 as follows.
