However, in the present invention, in order to supplement the authentication process, authentication through numbers or letters and authentication through operations may be additionally used. In order to implement this method the present invention is implemented in two embodiments. A first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 as follows.

The first embodiment is a method of performing user authentication using numerals or letters, which is preferably provided to the user through 12 buttons on the keypad of the telephone, for example, a relatively simple one-digit number from 0 to 9, *, #, An input data generator 25a for randomly generating characters or a mixture thereof, a voice synthesizer 25b for converting a predetermined number, a character or a mixture thereof generated by the input data generator 25a into speech, and the The synthesized voice is transmitted to the user and the data recognition unit 25d for recognizing the numeric or text data input through the keypad after the user listens, and the number and data recognition unit 25d transmitted through the voice synthesis unit 25b. It includes an authentication execution unit (25c) for comparing the numbers recognized through the) to determine whether the match and output the result to the control unit (20).

In the above, the speech synthesis unit 25b may be implemented in other forms according to an embodiment of a person skilled in the art. That is, the numbers and letters generated by the input data generator 25a are numbers and letters that can be inputted through 12 buttons of the keypad. Therefore, the voice data is stored in the ARS guide voice storage 35 beforehand. Voice data corresponding to numbers and letters generated by the data generator 25a may be read by the ARS guide voice storage 35 and transmitted to the user.

Referring to FIG. 4, the second embodiment is a method of executing user authentication by allowing a user to perform an operation, and instead of the input data generator 25a of the first embodiment, an operation generator. 25e is used. That is, preferably, a calculation generator 25e for generating a relatively simple predetermined operation, such as arithmetic operation of a single digit, and a voice synthesis section 25b for converting a numeric operation generated by the calculation generator 25e to speech. And a data recognition unit 25d for transmitting the synthesized voice to the user to perform the operation after listening and recognizing the result value data input through the keypad, and the operation transmitted through the voice synthesis unit 25b. And an authentication execution unit 25c which compares the result value with the result value recognized by the data recognition unit 25d to determine whether there is a match and outputs the result to the control unit 20.

Referring to the user authentication method of the telephone broadcasting system according to the present invention having the above configuration as follows.

The present invention is implemented in two embodiments, both of which include a basic authentication process. That is, the authentication of the telephone number of the user attempting the telephone call is performed primarily by checking the caller's telephone number, or primarily by verifying the password entered by the user. This authentication process corresponds to the prior art. In the embodiment of the present invention, the operation will be omitted.

A first embodiment of performing user authentication through random numbers will now be described with reference to FIG. 5.

The user attempts to call the identification number of the telephone broadcasting apparatus 100 by wireless or wired using a mobile phone or a telephone to execute a telephone broadcast (S100). When the call is made in the above, the broadcast execution unit 30 reads the guide voice stored in the ARS guide voice storage unit 35 and transmits the guide voice to the user's mobile phone or phone (S200). When the guide voice corresponding to the authentication process is sent from the guide voice, the input data generator 25a generates a number, a letter, or a mixture thereof (S300). For example, if "3" is generated as a number, the voice synthesis unit 25b generates a voice signal corresponding to "3" and a voice signal corresponding to "#" if it generates "#" as a character. Synthesis through (S400). The authentication execution unit 25c transmits the synthesized voice signal to the user through the control unit 20 (S500). Here, if "3" is generated, the voice signal "Enter 3" is sent to the user. Then, the user listens to the transmitted voice and inputs a corresponding number through the keypad (S600). If the input number is "3", the data is recognized by the data recognition unit 25d of the telephone broadcasting apparatus 100 and then transmitted to the authentication execution unit 25c (S700). The authentication execution unit 25c compares the recognized numerical data with the numbers generated in the step S300 and determines whether they match (S800). In case of inconsistency according to the result determined in step S800, the controller 20 counts the number of inconsistencies and determines whether there is an inconsistency more than n times (S1100), and if it does not exceed n times, repeats from the step S200. If n times is exceeded, the telephone broadcast is terminated. That is, when the telephone broadcast is terminated, for example, when n is 3, three times of connection attempts are failed, and in this case, an automated device equipped with a hacking program is connected. Since the same random number input process requires the use of human sensations, the signal generated by the automated device will be another unrelated signal.

In addition, the number or character generation process in step S300 may be performed by generating a mixture of two or more numbers, letters or numbers and characters.

In addition, the step S400 reads out the voice data corresponding to the numeric or text data generated by the input data generator 25a from the ARS guide voice storage 35 and transmits the voice data to the authentication execution unit 25c according to an embodiment of a person skilled in the art. It can be implemented in a way.

A second embodiment of performing user authentication through a calculation will now be described with reference to FIG. 6.

The user attempts to call the identification number of the telephone broadcasting apparatus 100 by wireless or wired using a mobile phone or a telephone to execute the telephone broadcasting (P100). When the call is made in the above, the broadcast execution unit 30 reads the guide voice stored in the ARS guide voice storage unit 35 and transmits the guide voice to the user's mobile phone or phone (P200). When the guide voice corresponding to the authentication process is transmitted from the guide voice, the calculation generator 25e generates predetermined calculation data (P300). For example, if "3 + 5" is generated as a predetermined operation, the speech synthesis unit 25b synthesizes the speech signal corresponding to "3 + 5" through the speech synthesis unit 25b (P400). The authentication execution unit 25c transmits the synthesized voice signal to the user through the control unit 20 (P500). That is, a voice signal "What is three plus five?" Is sent to the user. Then, the user listens to the transmitted voice and inputs the corresponding number through the keypad (P600). If the input number is "8", the data is recognized by the data recognition unit 25d of the telephone broadcasting apparatus 100 and then transmitted to the authentication execution unit 25c (P700). The authentication execution unit 25c compares the recognized numerical data with the operation result value generated in the step P300 and determines whether they match (P800). According to the result determined in the step (P800), if it matches, the authentication execution unit 25c executes the authentication to allow the user's mobile phone and telephone access (P900), the control unit 20 is the broadcast execution unit 30 Control to execute the telephone broadcast (P1000). In case of inconsistency according to the result determined in the step P800, the control unit 20 counts the number of inconsistencies and determines whether there is an inconsistency more than n times (P1100), and if it does not exceed n times, repeats from the step P200. If n times is exceeded, the telephone broadcast is terminated. That is, when the telephone broadcast is terminated, for example, when n is 3, three times of connection attempts are failed, and in this case, an automated device equipped with a hacking program is connected. Since the same operation input process requires the use of human senses and intelligence, the signal generated by the automated device will be another unrelated signal. In addition, the operation here is simply a procedure for blocking the connection of an automated device equipped with a hacking program, so that a simple operation is performed so that an operation that can be easily solved by anyone who has completed primary education is performed.

When the authentication process as described above is performed, the telephone broadcasting system according to the present invention can block the connection of the automated device equipped with the existing hacking program, thereby improving the security function of the telephone broadcasting system.

In addition, although the embodiment of the present invention has been described as being limited to the telephone broadcasting system, for example, a home automation system that can be controlled by telephone, a drain pump facility installed remotely, rainfall and water level, etc. can all be controlled by telephone such as an observation facility. The technical spirit of the present invention can be applied to the system for the purpose of security enhancement.

In the above described with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail.
