KR100662453B1 - Apparatus and method for forbidding photo in mobile terminal with camera - Google Patents

Abstract

A mobile terminal and a method for preventing image capturing are provided to effectively block an image capture function of a camera phone without making a user feel uncomfortable. A mobile terminal is connected with a mobile communication network and the Internet through a WAP(Wireless Application Protocol) gateway(S301). An interception code input request message is received from a Web browser of a service providing server(S302). A registered interception authentication code is inputted(S303). An image capture interception code is authenticated and a interception function release method is selected through a certain menu(S305). An interception driving timer is set, an interception driving time is inputted, and an interception function release registration is checked(S306-S309). An input interception release registration is set(S308). An authentication message of an image capture interception registration is received and a camera image capturing interception function is performed(S310,S311).

The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a system and method for photographing blocking of a mobile communication terminal having a camera.

Conventionally, a method of blocking shooting of a mobile communication terminal equipped with a camera is a method of attaching or seizing and storing external stickers in a specific building or place. It is also an unpleasant method without the absolute consent of the camera phone user and cannot be a smart blocking method. Other methods of transmitting electromagnetic waves or controlling base stations can interfere with unintended camera phone functions due to the omni-directionality of radio waves.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, by implementing a camera shooting blocking module and providing a method of requesting the camera shooting blocking and release if necessary through the camera blocking authentication code through the Internet network, if not give the user a feeling of discomfort The purpose is to effectively block the camera phone's shooting function.

The present invention for achieving the above object is provided with a mobile communication terminal and a wireless communication network and a mobile communication terminal for transmitting a shooting blocking request code and the service providing server for approving the blocking request code and transmitting a shooting blocking event signal; It is made to include.

In addition, the present invention provides a method for blocking shooting of a mobile terminal, the method comprising: transmitting a shooting blocking code to a server by accessing a wireless Internet network; Receiving the driving event signal of the capture blocking module by authenticating the capture blocking code from the server; And blocking the camera driving signal by the event signal and releasing the shooting blocking function of the camera by receiving the shooting blocking release signal.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing a shooting blocking system of a mobile communication terminal having a camera according to the present invention.

The mobile communication terminal 100 equipped with the camera 110 transmits a camera shooting blocking code and a blocking release code by connecting to a wireless Internet network. The shooting block code consists of an 8-digit code. The WAP gateway 200 provides a connection application protocol between the mobile communication terminal 100 and a wireless Internet network, and transmits data by encrypting a camera photographing blocking code and an unblocking code. The service providing server 300 interoperates with the wireless Internet network, approves the shooting blocking request code, and transmits a shooting blocking event signal. Receiving a block release code from the terminal 100 confirms the terminal from the database 310 of the camera blocking authentication code and transmits a shooting release event signal.

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mobile communication terminal having a camera shooting blocking function according to the present invention.

The RF communication unit 10 transmits a shooting block code to the connected Internet network and receives a block control event signal. The key input unit 20 includes a predetermined letter key and numeric keys, outputs an input signal for setting a camera shooting blocking mode, and inputs a shooting blocking code. The photographing blocking module 50 blocks the photographing signal of the camera 60 by the event signal. The blocking signal is a signal for controlling the driving of the photographing button key signal and the lens of the CCD camera 60 internally when the camera 60 is photographed externally. The controller 30 drives the photographing blocking module 50 by a blocking event signal. The timer 40 operates by setting a camera shooting blocking and releasing time by a blocking event signal in association with the shooting blocking module 50. The voice signal processor 70 receives a shooting block event signal or receives a block release code to output an alarm sound to the speaker. The screen display unit 80 outputs a predetermined menu screen for setting the shooting blocking mode and displays the result of the signal transmission of the present invention.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of blocking shooting of a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Access to the mobile communication network and the wireless Internet through the swap gateway (S300). An input signal is transmitted by selecting a predetermined menu as a photography blocking function (S301). In operation S302, a block code input request message is received from a web browser of a service providing server. The registered blocking authentication code is input (S303). The shooting blocking code includes shooting blocking time information. The service providing server searches the database of the camera blocking authentication code to determine whether to approve it. The photographing blocking code is authenticated and a method of releasing the blocking function is selected as a predetermined menu (S305). Set the cutoff driving timer to input the cutoff driving time and confirm the registration of the cutoff function release (S306 to S309). The input blocking release registration is set by combining the blocking function release code with the user's telephone number and the code of the authentication requestor (S308). Receiving an approval message of the shooting blocking registration and performs a camera shooting blocking function (S310, S311).

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of releasing a shooting block of a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

When the shooting block releasing method is input as the time information by the timer driving, the timer driving end time is determined and the shooting blocking function is performed until the ending time (S400 to S405). Even when the timer is terminated, the camera shooting blocking function is immediately canceled if the shooting blocking release code is input to match the registered release code (S402 to S404).

The present invention implements a camera shooting blocking module and provides a method of requesting blocking and releasing camera shooting when necessary through a camera blocking authentication code through an internet network, thereby effectively blocking a camera phone's shooting function without causing discomfort to the user. have.
