In order to fully understand the present invention, the operational advantages of the present invention, and the objects achieved by the practice of the present invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention and the contents described in the accompanying drawings.

Also, in this specification, when any one element 'transmits' data to another element, the element may transmit the data directly to the other element, or may be transmitted through at least one other element And may transmit the data to the other component.

Conversely, when one element 'directly transmits' data to another element, it means that the data is transmitted to the other element without passing through another element in the element.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements.

1 shows a schematic configuration of a digital system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the digital system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a controller 110, a voice output unit 120, and a memory unit 130. The digital system 100 may further include a position determination module 140. In addition, a predetermined determination unit 150 for determining the mode of the digital system 100 may be further included. The determination unit 150 may include a communication unit or a sensing unit for outputting predetermined information to the outside or receiving the predetermined information from the outside.

The digital system 100 may be implemented as a system for processing all types of digital data embodying the technical idea of the present invention. Examples of the implementation of the digital system 100 include, for example, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a personal data assistant (PDA), a notebook, a tablet, a music player (MP3, etc.), a digital camera, a navigation system, or a car (or a car). Digital systems included in the control unit).

The digital system 100 may be a system that operates differently for each mode according to the spirit of the present invention. The switching of the modes can be converted, for example, directly or remotely by the owner of the digital system 100.

In the case of remote conversion, a predetermined control signal may be transmitted to the digital system 100 through the owner communication terminal. The control signal may include a signal indicating that the digital system 100 is in a special situation (eg, lost or stolen) and / or second information that the owner wants to output through the voice output means.

In some implementations, the switching of the modes may be automatically converted in a predetermined manner. For example, it is difficult for the owner to switch the mode directly, or the digital system 100 can automatically switch the mode by a predetermined criterion before performing the switch.

As used herein, the term "owner" includes a person who has a right to use the digital system 100 as a right holder and a user who has been duly authorized to use the right by the owner. Can be used.

For example, the digital system 100 may be set to be driven in a normal mode only in a predetermined predetermined space (eg, in a specific building or a specific area). Alternatively, a predetermined device (for example, an RFID tag, an RF chip, or an RF transmitter, etc.) forming a predetermined pair with the digital system 100 may be set to be driven in the normal mode only within a predetermined distance. . Since the predetermined device in the pair may be attached or possessed by a party owner, the digital system 100 may operate in a normal mode only when the digital system 100 exists within a certain distance from the party owner. Can be.

In this case, the digital system 100 may include predetermined sensing means (not shown) for determining whether the digital system 100 is included in the predetermined space or within a predetermined distance from the pair device. have. The sensing means may be implemented as a predetermined RF signal receiver for sensing a signal (eg, an RF signal) detected only in a predetermined space or output from the pair device.

In order to determine whether the space exists in the predetermined space, the position of the digital system 100 may be determined and it may be determined whether the space exists in the predetermined space based on the determined position. Alternatively, the position determination module included in the digital system 100 may determine the position of the digital system, and determine whether the determined position is within the predetermined space. Other conventional methods may determine whether the digital system 100 exists in the predetermined space.

When the sensing means does not detect a predetermined space or the signal output from the pair device, mode switching (eg, from normal mode to special mode) may occur. In this specification, the normal mode refers to a state of the digital system 100 that performs a function in a normal mode or a special mode as defined herein, and must be explicitly named by the digital system 100 or It does not mean the mode to be classified. Accordingly, the digital system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may perform only the functions in the normal mode, only the special mode, and the functions of both modes. It can also be done.

Alternatively, the digital system 100 is implemented to be paired with a specific device (eg, an RF transmitter, an IC chip, etc.), and the digital system 100 automatically generates a predetermined distance from the specific device. The mode may be switched.

Modes provided by the digital system 100 may include, for example, a normal mode and a special mode (eg, lost, stolen, or not in normal usage). For example, the normal use behavior may be a preset normal situation such as when a specific digital system 100 is set to be used outside a specific area or when a distance between a party owner and the specific digital system 100 is greater than a certain range. This may mean not.

When the digital system 100 is in the normal mode, the digital system 100 may output the preset first information as voice information whenever performing a specific operation. For example, the specific operation may be an operation of powering on the digital system 100 or an operation of executing a specific application or function. For example, when the digital system 100 can install a predetermined application, the digital system 100 may be implemented to output first audio information corresponding to the first information every time the application is executed. Alternatively, voice information including the first information may be output whenever a specific function (eg, a payment function, a play function, etc.) is to be executed.

The first information may include, for example, information about information (eg, name, contact information) of the owner of the digital system 100. Then, the voice information may be information in which the first information itself is converted into voice information through a predetermined method (eg, encoding and / or decoding). Alternatively, the voice information may be voice information including the first information. For example, when the first information is the owner's name, the voice information output by the digital system 100 in the normal mode may be voice information corresponding to the owner's name. Or information including the name of the owner. For example, when the first information is 'Mike', the voice information may be simply voice information corresponding to 'Mike' or voice information corresponding to 'This is Mike's phone'.

The first information may be stored in the memory unit 130. The owner may input the first information as text information through a text input method provided by the digital system 100. Alternatively, when the digital system 100 provides a predetermined voice recording function, the first information may be input through voice recording. Input of the first information may be possible in various ways.

The memory unit 130 may be implemented as, for example, an internal memory mounted in the digital system 100. Being mounted inside the digital system 100 means that the owner or a non-owner cannot perform the excessive work such as being unable to detach the internal memory or dismantling the digital system 100 in order to detach the internal memory. It may mean that it should be. That is, when the digital system 100 is manufactured, sold or distributed, it may mean that the internal memory is not implemented to be removed or detached in a manner that is allowed or intended for the general user. For example, when a predetermined open part (eg, a cell phone battery cover) is included in the housing of the digital system 100, it means that the internal memory is not removable or separated even if the open part is separated. can do. That is, it may mean a memory built in the digital system 100, not a memory implemented to be removable by a general user such as a USIM card of a mobile phone. The internal memory may be a system memory included in the digital system 100 or a memory provided in predetermined hardware itself of the digital system 100.

In addition, the first information stored in the internal memory may be implemented so that a user cannot delete or change the software. That is, it may be preferable that the first information be stored in an area which is not accessible to the user through a predetermined user application. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the memory in which the first information is stored may not be changed once recorded, and may be a memory implemented to enable only writing of additional information or may be controlled by the controller 110. . Of course, the memory may be implemented to enable the change or deletion of information. In this case, the change, deletion, or writing of additional information to the memory may be possible only through a predetermined owner authentication procedure (eg, input of a password).

As such, after the first information is stored in the internal memory, the first information may not be easily deleted or changed, thereby preventing a learner or theft person from easily deleting or changing the first information set by the owner. Can be.

In addition, when the first information is changed through the owner authentication process, the change history information, that is, history information of the first information may be maintained in the memory. For example, when the first information needs to be duly changed, such as changing the owner, it is preferable that the first information be changed. Therefore, in this case, the first information may be changed, but history information related to the change may be stored in the memory, thereby preventing unauthorized or malicious use of the digital system 100. In addition, since the history information is stored, the memory may act as a register for a legitimate possession or possession authority.

In addition, even if the removal or detachment of the internal memory is not easy, there may be a case in which a learner or a thief forcibly removes or detaches the internal memory for malicious purposes. Alternatively, the first information stored in the internal memory may be changed in an unexpected manner. In this case, the controller 110 may determine whether the memory 130 is separated from the digital system 100 or the first information is changed. In such a case, the controller 110 may control all or some of the functions of the digital system 100 not to perform a normal operation. For example, the controller 110 may maintain a list of system devices installed in the digital system 100 or monitor new installation or removal of the system devices. Alternatively, the controller 110 may monitor a request for recording, deleting, or changing information on an area in which the first information is stored by monitoring a specific I / O call. Therefore, when the memory unit 130 is separated or there is a change or deletion of the first information, the controller 110 controls the entire digital system 100 to not operate at all, or the digital system ( Some major functions (eg, financial service related functions such as payment, inquiry or transfer, access to specific information, etc.) may not be performed. In addition, controlling not to use the main function means that the specific hardware included in the digital system 100 (eg, a device such as NFC and / or a storage device storing personal information) or the specific hardware is stored. It may also mean that a certain area (eg, an area in which the personal information is stored in the storage device) of the hardware is not used.

Accordingly, the digital system 100 outputs predetermined first information (for example, information about the owner) as voice information whenever the digital system 100 performs a predetermined specific operation in the normal mode, that is, in the normal mode. The user may feel burdened with holding or using the digital system 100. In addition, even when the owner uses it, the first information is repeatedly outputted, so that the attachment or friendliness to the digital system 100 can be felt. In this way, the first information is output as voice information, thereby making it difficult for a learner or theft to conceal the first information as compared to the text information displayed on the display device of the digital system 100. In addition, in order to prevent the first information from being output, it is difficult to perform a predetermined malicious action (for example, deleting or changing the first information or separating or damaging hardware in which the first information is stored).

The voice output unit 120 may further include a voice output device (eg, a speaker) for outputting voice and / or an encoding / decoding module for voice output.

The controller 110 may include various computing devices required according to the type and characteristics of the digital system 100, such as a CPU, a (mobile) processor, an application processor, and the like.

In addition, the controller 110 may drive a predetermined application installed in the digital system 100 or drive an OS of the digital system 100 in order to carry out the technical spirit of the present invention. That is, the digital system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may install a predetermined application to implement the technical idea of the present invention, or may be implemented by the firmware of the digital system 100 or the OS itself.

In the present specification, the configuration such as the control unit 110, the voice output unit 120, the memory unit 130, the position determination module 140, and / or the determination unit 150 is used to carry out the technical spirit of the present invention. It may mean a functional and structural combination of hardware and software for driving the hardware. For example, each of the components may mean a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for performing the predetermined code, and necessarily means a physically connected code, or one or a specific number of hardware. It does not mean that can be easily inferred by the average expert in the art. Thus, each of these configurations refers to a combination of hardware and software that performs the functions defined herein, and does not imply any particular physical configuration.

The controller 110 may include other components included in the digital system 100 (eg, the voice output unit 120, the memory unit 130, the position determination module 140, and / or the determination unit 150, etc.). It can control the function and / or resource (resource) of.

As described above, the controller 110 may control to output predetermined voice information to the voice output unit 120, and change the mode of the digital system 100. In addition, the memory 130 may be detached or removed, and the first information may be monitored for change or deletion.

The controller 110 may control the digital system 100 to output voice information including the first information when the digital system 100 is in the normal mode.

The controller 110 may convert the digital system 100 into a special mode at a predetermined time. At the predetermined time point, the owner of the digital system 100 outputs a control signal for converting the digital system 100 to a special mode through a predetermined communication terminal, so that the determination unit 150 receives the control signal. It may be the case of receiving. Alternatively, as described above, it may be a time point determined by the determination unit 150 that the digital system 100 has come to a predetermined predetermined condition.

The special mode may be, for example, a mode in which the owner defines the operation of the digital system 100 at any time due to the owner of the digital system 100 being lost or stolen or required by the owner.

3 is a diagram for describing an operation of the digital system when the digital system is in a normal mode and a lost (or stolen mode) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the digital system 100 receives a specific operation (for example, a power-on request) from the digital system 100 in a normal mode (S10), the digital system 100 stores the memory unit ( In operation S20, voice information corresponding to the first information stored in the control unit 130 may be output.

Thereafter, the digital system 100 may receive a control signal from the outside, or may be converted to a special mode in a predetermined situation (S100). In a special mode, the digital system 100 may have second audio information corresponding to the second information previously stored in the digital system 100 (for example, 'this machine is owned and is lost (or stolen)', etc.). Or the second voice information corresponding to the information included in the control signal, that is, the owner's input and the second information that may be included in the control signal (for example, 'This machine is owned and lost.' Minutes, please contact 0000-0000 ', etc.) can be output (S110). The second information may also be stored in the memory unit 130, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, when the power-off request signal is input from the operator in the special mode (S200), the digital system 100 may request recognition information from the operator (S210). Accordingly, the digital system 100 may perform power off only when the recognition information input by the operator matches the preset information. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, even when the power off request signal is input, power off may not be performed. In this case, the power-off may be performed only after the owner switches the digital system 100 to the normal mode through a predetermined authentication procedure.

In addition, in the special mode, the digital system 100 may be controlled to not operate at least some of the functions performed by the digital system 100, and the real owner may have predetermined recognition information (for example, a password and a secret). Pattern, etc.), the digital system 100 may be converted to the normal mode again.

To this end, when the digital system 100 enters the special mode according to the determination result of the determination unit 150, the control unit 110 outputs the predetermined second voice information to the voice output unit 120. And / or other necessary configurations. For example, the second voice information may be information indicating that the second voice information is lost or stolen. Alternatively, the second voice information may be voice information corresponding to second information included in the control signal or information including the second information. For example, the owner may include information desired by the owner in the control signal while transmitting the control signal to the digital system 100 through a communication terminal. For example, when the message or voice information is transmitted to the digital system 100 through the communication terminal, the digital system 100 receives the control signal, and the message or voice information included in the received control signal. Can be output as the corresponding voice information.

That is, the second voice information may correspond to information previously stored in the digital system 100 or may correspond to information transmitted by the owner to the digital system 100. For example, when the digital system 100 is changed to a special mode, the digital system 100 transmits the second voice information, “The system is a lost (or stolen) system,” to be preset. Can be output via

Alternatively, when the owner outputs information desired by the owner to the digital system 100 directly through a communication terminal or through a predetermined server, the digital system 100 outputs the second voice information corresponding to the received information. It may be output through the voice output unit 120. For example, the owner may transmit the information of the content, 'the system is lost (or stolen) to the digital system 100 through a wired or wireless communication, thank you if you contact ~ ~ through a predetermined method. For example, when a specific telephone number is assigned to the digital system 100, the phone may be changed to a special mode by making a predetermined signal after making a call. When predetermined voice information or text information is input through the communication terminal, voice information corresponding to the voice information or text information may be output. Even when a telephone number is not assigned to the digital system 100, the digital system 100 may include a predetermined communication module (not shown), and receive the control signal through a wired / wireless network through the communication module. You may.

Alternatively, when information to be output as the second voice information is input through a predetermined service server or a mobile communication company server for providing the technical idea of the present invention, the service server or the mobile communication company server calls the digital system 100. Or push the information to the digital system 100. Then, the digital system 100 may output the second voice information corresponding to the received information through the voice output unit 120. The service server may be, for example, a subject operated and / or managed by a digital system and a subject providing a service therefor, and in some cases, the mobile communication company server or the digital system 100. It may be a server provided by the manufacturer.

As described above, the digital system 100 outputs voice information corresponding to preset voice information or information transmitted by the owner of the digital system 100 in a special situation, not in a normal situation, so that a learner or theft user may receive the digital system ( 100) can be difficult to use unauthorized or malicious.

The second voice information may not be output once but may be repeatedly output at predetermined intervals.

As such, when the digital system 100 outputs the second voice information by voice in a special mode, a malicious acquirer or theft person may perform a predetermined action to prevent people from listening even if the second voice information is not output or output. Can be. Accordingly, the technical idea of the present invention provides a technical idea of preventing such an action.

For example, the digital system 100 may have a predetermined voice output setting in the normal mode. For example, when the digital system 100 is a mobile phone, the digital system 100 may be set to a vibration mode or a silent mode, so that voice output is not performed. Alternatively, the audio output amount (that is, volume) of the digital system 100 may be set to 0 or a degree that is insufficient for the technical idea of the present invention to be implemented. Or it may be set to mute (mute).

In any case, when the digital system 100 is switched to a special mode, the voice output amount is set so that the second voice information is large enough to be heard by people in a certain area where the digital system 100 is located. can do. That is, no matter how the voice output setting (for example, vibration, silence, or a small volume, etc.) is performed in the normal mode, the controller 110 sets the voice output amount of the digital system 100 to a preset size (for example, , Maximum volume) to force the second voice information to be output at a level that is heard by the people around.

Thus, it is possible to prevent the acquirer or theft from being used or abused by an unauthorized person.

The controller 110 may output the second voice information one or more times. In this case, the controller 110 may control the second voice information to be repeatedly output at a predetermined cycle. If the second voice information corresponds to information transmitted by the owner, the first transmitted information may be repeatedly output as the second voice information. If a plurality of pieces of information are transmitted by the owner, the last transmitted information may be output as the second voice information, or all of the transmitted information may be output as the second voice information.

As such, the digital system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention forces the output of the first or second voice information so that a learner or a stolen person holds or exploits the digital system 100 in a place where at least there are many people.
