Description

[0001] Pairing digital system and providing method [0002]

The present invention relates to a pairing digital system and a method for providing the same, and more particularly, it relates to a pairing digital system and a method for providing the pairing digital system. It is difficult for the illegal owner to change or delete the right holder identification information or perform pairing or tagging with a pair system preset to be a pair with the digital system in order to perform a specific function or a specific operation of the digital system The security function is further enhanced not only for the main function or operation of the digital system but also for the unauthorized occupation, loss or theft of the digital system, the fraudulent owner can not arbitrarily use at least a part of the function or operation of the digital system To a system and method that provides for locking.

Many digital systems (e.g., PCs, tablets, navigation, music players, cameras, automotive digital systems, etc.) have been widely used due to the development of information and communication technologies. In particular, as IT technology advances, digital systems are becoming smaller and convergent. For example, a mobile communication terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet PC, etc.) performs various functions such as a camera, an information storage device, a banking (payment, transfer) function as well as an original communication function. At the same time, the devices are miniaturized to a size sufficient for users to carry through such as integration of devices.

With the convergence of various functions, digital systems not only provide convenience to users but also become an important means of influencing users' lives. In addition, due to the miniaturization of digital systems, portability is becoming higher and more expensive, the damage caused by the loss or theft of the digital system is serious, and the burden of lost or stolen is increasing. For example, in the case where a digital system having a payment function or storing personal information is lost or stolen, it is necessary to re-purchase an expensive digital system and cause serious damage to the user in connection with personal information and credit can do. In a case where the portable digital system does not carry the portable digital system by storing important information such as a phone number, memo, and schedule of a person in a portable digital system (e.g., a mobile phone, a portable PC, etc.) Are frequently occurring.

For this reason, the importance or dependency of the digital system is increasing, but there is no proper countermeasure against security, unauthorized occupation, loss or theft of the digital system information.

The technical idea for solving some of these problems is a Korean registered patent "Digital system and its providing method ", filed by the applicant of the present invention (2 in the same title, Registration No. 10-1125708, 10-1130676) (Application No. 10-2012-0058302, "Digital System in which Rightsholder Identification Information is Recorded and Method of Providing It ", " Previous Application "). The above-mentioned patents and inventions save technical information about the owner of the digital system and prevent the illegal user from arbitrarily deleting or changing the information about the owner of the party, to provide. The present specification contains references and technical ideas disclosed in the above-mentioned patents and the claimed invention as references.

However, the digital system may be a system in which a large number of transactions are carried out in the middle, or a system which is easy to transfer to another person. In such a case, the technical ideas of the inventions and the inventions which are invented so as to have a great effort and expense to delete or change the information on the legitimate owner may have practical limitations.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to reduce the residual value and the utilization value of the digital system by making it difficult for an unauthorized user to delete or change the information about the owner of the digital system, which is a technical idea of the present invention, (Such as changing or deleting information of a party owner, or writing information of a new owner) of the digital system while maintaining the effect of the digital system.

On the other hand, as digital systems become a part of life, the security of software, such as the content to be stored and the applications used, is becoming more important. The conventional technology is a method of authenticating the user through password or pattern recognition, etc., for browsing information requiring security or software operation. This conventional technology has a problem that security can not be achieved when information such as a password or pattern recognition is leaked. Even if the information such as the password or the pattern recognition is not leaked, the digital system may have security information because it has the information therein. That is, it is recognized that it is not so difficult for a person who has a certain level of knowledge about the digital system to acquire the digital system illegally and extract or decrypt the authentication information therein. Therefore, not only the digital system devices but also the security requirements for the information stored in the digital system and the software used are further increased, but the conventional technology for security is very lacking.

In doing so, it is possible for a fraudulent user to perform a specific function or operation using the digital system in addition to writing, deleting, or changing information on the owner, And a legitimate user is required to be able to easily perform the specific function or operation.

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.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference symbols in the drawings denote like elements.

Figure 1 shows schematic systems for implementing a method of providing a pairing digital system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a pairing digital system 100 and a pair system 200 may be provided to implement a pairing digital system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Depending on the implementation, a predetermined external system 300 may be further provided. The external system 300 can perform a specific function (e.g., identification of the owner) in accordance with the technical idea of the present invention even when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are not in a pairing state or at least once tagged (E.g., modification of the first information), execution control of the specific software, and / or activation control of the specific hardware included in the pairing digital system 100.

The pairing digital system 100 includes all types of data processing devices capable of communicating with the pair system 200 using a predetermined communication protocol and having date processing capability capable of performing the functions defined herein Can be defined as meaning. For example, although the pairing digital system 100 is shown only in the form of a mobile phone in FIG. 1, it may be implemented in a computer, a notebook, a tablet, an IPTV, a smart TV, a set top box, a remote control, a music player, a home automation device, Examples can vary.

Depending on the embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 may be connected to a predetermined communication device for realizing the technical idea of the present invention through a predetermined interface (for example, a USB interface) have. For example, when the pairing digital system 100 is a desktop PC, a predetermined communication device for implementing the technical idea of the present invention may be connected to the desktop, and the communication device connected to the desktop may be connected to the technical idea of the present invention May perform the function of the communication unit.

According to an example, the pairing digital system 100 may store first information including information about the owner. The first information can be output in various manners every predetermined predetermined operation or at regular intervals. For example, the pairing digital system 100 may output the first information as corresponding voice information or may output predetermined display information. The information on the owner may be various information such as a name, an alias, a sign, a contact, etc., which can identify the owner. The first information may be information on the owner itself, or information on the owner.

For example, if the first information is the owner's name, the voice information (or display information) output by the digital system 100 may be voice information (or display 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 (or display information) may be simply voice information (or display information) corresponding to 'Mike', voice corresponding to 'This is Mike's phone' Information (or display information).

When the first information is output as display information, the pairing digital system 100 may display the first information on a display device provided in the pairing digital system 100 at regular intervals or at all times.

As used herein, the term " owner " means a person who has the authority to legitimately use the pairing digital system 100, and includes a person who owns the property or a person who is legally allowed to use the property by the owner Can be used.

According to an embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 may operate in a plurality of modes, and may output audio information or display information corresponding to the first information only in at least one of the modes.

According to one embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 may output voice information or display information corresponding to the first information in a normal mode. Herein, the normal mode may mean a mode of a general use environment other than a mode classified as a special mode such as lost or stolen. The change from the normal mode to the special mode may be based on the user's control signal or automatically based on the determination result by automatically determining whether the pairing digital system 100 is in a predetermined condition. Such an example has been described in detail in the above-mentioned Korean patents, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the pairing digital system 100 may be a system operating without any discrimination such as a normal mode or a special mode, and at this time, the pairing digital system 100 may also output voice information and / or display information corresponding to the first information Can be output.

For example, the pairing digital system 100 may output first information set as preset audio information each time it performs a specific operation. Alternatively, the voice information may be output every time a specific time is reached. For example, the particular operation may be an operation to power on the digital system 100, or an operation to execute a particular application or function. Alternatively, the voice information may be output at a predetermined time, such as a preset rising time, a working time, and the like. For example, the digital system 100 can be implemented so that, when a predetermined application can be installed, each time the application is executed, the digital system 100 outputs first audio information corresponding to the first information. Alternatively, voice information including the first information may be output whenever a specific function (e.g., a payment function, a play function, etc.) is to be executed. For example, "OOO's power is on.", "◇◇◇'s wake time.", "□□□ 's application will run." And the like can be output.

The first information may be stored in the pairing digital system 100. The owner may input the first information as character information through the character input method provided by the pairing digital system 100. [ Alternatively, if the pairing digital system 100 provides a predetermined voice recording function, the first information may be input through voice recording. The first information may be input in various ways. According to an example, the first information may not be input by the owner of the pairing digital system 100, but the first information may be input in advance by another person. For example, the manufacturer or the distributor of the pairing digital system 100 may input the first information.

The pairing digital system 100 outputs predetermined first information (for example, information on the owner) as audio information (or display information) every time a predetermined specific operation is performed (or at regular or predetermined intervals) So that other users other than the owner can feel burdened in using or using the digital system 100. [ That is, according to the technical idea of the present invention, the desire for fraudulent use of other users can be prevented. In addition, even when the owner himself or herself uses the first information, the first information is repeatedly output or displayed on the screen, so that the user can feel attachment and friendliness to the digital system 100.

On the other hand, in the case of an unauthorized user, it may have a desire to delete the output of the first information or arbitrarily change the first information. It is desirable that the technical structure of the present invention is made so that it is not easy to delete or change the first information because the technical purpose and the effect of the present invention can be achieved only by making it unlikely that unjust needs of such a fraudulent user is made difficult. On the other hand, if the deletion or modification of the first information is implemented so as not to be easy for all users, it may be inconvenient if the owner of the pairing digital system 100 is changed due to legitimate transaction or transfer of rights There may be adverse effects.

Therefore, the unauthorized user can not access or modify the first information, while the party user can easily access or modify (e.g., delete, change, record new information, etc.) the first information .

For this purpose, according to the technical idea of the present invention, the pairing digital system 100 is configured to pair with the pair system 200, which is predefined to pair with the pairing digital system 100, It is possible to control access or modification of the first information only when it is performed.

Alternatively, only when a predetermined permission signal is received from the external system 300, the pairing digital system 100 may be controlled so that the first information can be accessed or modified. The permission signal is a signal that is output from the external system 300 to the pairing digital system 100 when the authentication is successful after the pairing digital system 100 has undergone a predetermined authentication procedure through the external system 300 .

Accordingly, the user must occupy both the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 to access the first information or modify the first information. Even if the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are not paired or tagged at least once, the authenticated user through the external system 300 may be allowed to access or modify the first information have.

For example, the pairing digital system 100 may request permission to perform certain functions, such as accessing or modifying the first information, to the external system 300. Then, the external system 300 may request predetermined authentication information from the pairing digital system 100. The authentication information may be information previously stored in the external system 300. The authentication information may be, for example, a password registered by the user, a secret pattern, or predetermined information (e.g., address, resident registration number, etc.)

The authentication information may be different from the predetermined authentication information stored in the pairing digital system 100. In any case, since separate authentication information capable of authenticating the user of the party is stored in the external system 300, the authentication of the authentication stored in the pairing digital system 100 in response to an unauthorized attack by the pairing digital system 100 Even if information is exposed, there is an effect that access or modification of the first information may not be allowed.

For example, when the pairing digital system 100 is a mobile communication terminal, the external system 300 may be a mobile communication company system. However, the external system 300 may be any external system capable of performing authentication of a user, Or may be the external system 300. If the authentication is successful, the external system 300 may transmit a predetermined permission signal to the pairing digital system 100.

The control unit 110 may receive a grant signal from the external system 300 and may be configured to access or modify the first information as described above when the grant signal is received, to execute a particular software, and / Can be activated.

The pairing state may be a state in which the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a communicable state or a case where communication is possible and a certain criterion is met (for example, have. Tagging is performed means that the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are close to each other within a certain distance (for example, 10 cm) capable of performing non-contact RF communication such as NFC (Near Field Communication) Or a state or activity. Wherein the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state when the user of the pairing digital system 100 is currently in possession of the pair system 200. [ ) And the pair system 200 can be implemented. Alternatively, the user of the pairing digital system 100 may also have the pair system 200 to perform tagging.

As described above, according to the technical idea of the present invention, the pairing digital system 100 can only store the first information in the area where the first information is stored, if it is estimated that the user of the pairing digital system 100 also has the pair system 200 To modify or change the first information. Of course, when the permission signal through the external system 300 is received as described above, the modification or change of the first information can be performed.

In the case of a pairing state or at least once through tagging or when the grant signal is received, the modification or access of the first information as well as the execution of the specific software may be controlled, or the activation of the specific hardware may be controlled.

In the meantime, when a pairing state or a case where tagging is performed at least once is mainly described, it can be assumed that the party user has the pair system 200. Thus, the party user can modify the first information only if he / she has the pair system 200 (or performs only a simple tagging action), so that the first information can be easily modified. On the other hand, if the unauthorized user does not have both the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200, the first information can not be modified. The pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may be generally stored or held by a user so that the probability of simultaneously losing or stolen the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 is And the technical idea of the present invention can be easily implemented.

As described later, according to the technical idea of the present invention, when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are separated by a predetermined distance or more, the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 may output a notification signal informing the user thereof. Therefore, the risk of losing or theft of either the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200 can be prevented altogether.

The pair system 200 may be a system or device capable of communicating with the digital system 100. For example, it may be implemented as an IC card (or a smart card) 201 that does not have its own power source but can store predetermined information and perform simple calculations. For example, the pair system 200 has a unique computing capability and storage capability, and a system in which a predetermined RF communication device for technical idea of the present invention is added to an IC card or a smart card, Lt; / RTI >

Alternatively, the pair system 200 may be a data processing system (e.g., 202) having a power source and data processing capability. A card type OTP card having a smart phone or a tablet PC or a power source, various types of smart cards having a power source, or the like may be implemented in the pair system 200.

According to an implementation of the pair system 200, an implementation of a communication protocol in which the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can communicate can be changed.

The pair system 200 may simply be a system that is maintained for pairing with the pairing digital system 100 or provided for tagging according to an embodiment. In such a case, the pair system 200 may be implemented solely by a communication device capable of communicating with the pairing digital system 100 only.

For example, the pair system 200 may be implemented with a system (e.g., member number 220 in FIG. 8) implemented with only minimal functionality to pair with the pairing digital system 100, The communication device 200 may be an RF tag or a communication device itself including a predetermined communication device (e.g., an RF communication device (antenna, etc.)). Of course, the RF tag or the communication device (e.g., RF communication device) may be provided with a predetermined storage device (e.g., EEPROM) and / or an IC chip.

In such a case, a user may be implemented to attach or fit the pair system 200 to a target object such as a predetermined object or device. To this end, the pair system 200 has a predetermined adhesive surface, or may have a housing to be fitted to the target object. The target object may be variously determined by a user's selection.

Alternatively, the pair system 200 may be a system in which a communication device for the pairing function (e.g., an RF communication device, etc.) is embedded in an object made for a separate function. For example, a wide variety of embodiments may be possible, such as a USB storage device, a security card, an OTP generator, a clock, a bracelet, a smart card, and the like. In any case, the pair system 200 can be implemented in a wide variety of forms only if it includes a communication device capable of performing pairing with the digital system 100.

According to one embodiment, a predetermined communication device for implementing the technical idea of the present invention is attached to a conventional OTP generation device, a security card, an IC card, a credit card, a membership card, etc., The pair system 200 may be implemented.

According to another embodiment, the pair system 200 may store certain information for implementing the technical idea of the present invention, and may transmit the information to the pairing digital system 100 in a predetermined manner System.

The first information stored in the pairing digital system 100 can be modified (e.g., recorded, deleted, or changed) only through a predefined specific application. At this time, the entire application or a part of the application may be stored in the pair system 200. In some implementations, if key information (e.g., authentication information such as a serial number or a password) is required to execute the application, the key information may be stored in the pair system 200. [ Accordingly, when information necessary for the application to be executed, that is, required information (at least a part of the application and / or the key information) is stored in the pair system 200, The required information stored in the pair system 200 may be transmitted to the pairing digital system 100 after the tagging state or at least one tagging has been performed.

Such an embodiment may have higher security than when the pair system 200 merely has a function of forming a pair with the pairing digital system 100. [ For example, if all of the necessary information is stored in the pairing digital system 100, and the application is executed when the pair system 200 is simply paired with the pair system 200 or tagged, a malicious attacker (e.g., a hacker or the like) There may be a risk that the application may be executed even if the pairing state or tagging is not performed. However, if at least some of the necessary information is stored in the pair system 200, execution of the application may not be possible unless the malicious attacker carries the pair system 200.

This technical idea can be applied to any application that can be executed in the pairing digital system 100 as well as an application for modification of the first information stored in the pairing digital system 100. [ In particular, it may be desirable to apply to applications requiring high security level such as financial transactions, electronic commerce, and personal authentication. Depending on the implementation, not only the execution of the application, but also the functions provided by the application may be controlled by the pair system 200. That is, the functions of some of the various functions provided by the application may be executable only after the pair system 200 and the pairing digital system 100 are paired or at least once tagged.

For example, when the application is a financial transaction application, the authentication process such as a public certificate is not required in the past for simple information inquiry among the functions provided by the application, and a certain authentication process is required to perform the financial transaction function . Similarly, if the technical idea of the present invention is applied to financial transactions, some of the functions provided by the application, which may be relatively low in security level, such as simple information inquiry, may be paired with the pair system 200, And a function of relatively high security level such as transfer, settlement, and order can be implemented so that the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are only required to be paired or at least tagged at least once .

In addition, the technical idea of the present invention can be applied not only to an application that can be executed in the pairing digital system 100, but also to a predetermined hardware configuration provided in the pairing digital system 100. [ For example, the specific hardware included in the pairing digital system 100 may be enabled when the pair system 200 and the pairing digital system 100 are paired or at least once tagged. Alternatively, a specific function of the specific hardware may be enabled, such that the pair system 200 and the pairing digital system 100 are in a pairing state or at least once tagged. To this end, the pairing digital system 100 may change the setting of the software for driving the specific hardware or may drive different software depending on whether the pairing digital system 100 is tagged with the pair system 200 or tagged at least once . Depending on the implementation, the pairing digital system 100 itself may be enabled, in which case the operating system settings of the pairing digital system 100 may be controlled.

As a result, according to the technical idea of the present invention, the pairing digital system 100 can perform a specific function, an application (or a function provided by the application) that the pairing digital system 100 can perform by the pair system 200, And / or execution of the specific hardware (or functions provided by the specific hardware) can be controlled.

2 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a pairing digital system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a pairing digital system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit 110 and a storage unit 120. The pairing digital system 100 may further include a communication unit 130 and / or an alarm unit 140.

The control unit 110 may drive a predetermined application installed in the pairing digital system 100 or may drive an OS of the pairing digital system 100 to perform the technical idea of the present invention. That is, the pairing 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, and may be implemented by the firmware of the pairing digital system 100 or the OS itself have.

The configuration such as the control unit 110, the storage unit 120, the communication unit 130, and / or the alarm unit 140 may be implemented by hardware for performing the technical idea of the present invention and software for driving the hardware Can mean a functional and structural combination of the two. For example, each of the above configurations may refer to a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for executing the predetermined code, and may be a code physically connected to one another or a specific type of hardware May be easily deduced to the average expert in the field of the present invention. Thus, each of the above configurations refers to a combination of hardware and software that performs the functions defined herein, and does not mean a specific physical configuration.

The controller 110 controls the functions and / or the resources of other components included in the digital system 100 (e.g., the storage unit 120, the communication unit 130, and / or the alarm unit 140) Can be controlled.

The controller 110 controls the audio output device (e.g., a speaker) or the display device included in the pairing digital system 100 to transmit first information including information on the owner to the audio information and / It can be output as display information. In addition, the controller 110 may determine whether the communication unit 130 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state or at least once tagged. Also, a predetermined security procedure may be performed as will be described later. When the security procedure receives the necessary information corresponding to a predetermined application (e.g., at least a part of the application and / or at least a part of the key information) from the pair system 200, And delete the application generated by the pair digital system 100 when the application is created based on the necessary information. Of course, this security procedure may be performed after the application performs a predetermined function.

The reason why the security procedure is required is that if the received necessary information or the generated application remains in the pairing digital system 100, There is also the risk that the application will run and the information may be exposed.

The storage unit 120 may store the first information. The first information may be stored in a predetermined protection area. The protection area may be an area that is implemented so as not to access and / or modify (write, delete, or change) the protection area except for an application previously authorized. The control unit 110 may monitor an I / O call (for example, a message, a request, etc.) of the protection area to protect the information stored in the protection area. Only the authorized application (or process) may control access to the protection area and / or modify the protection area.

Also, the storage unit 120 may store an application or other software (e.g., OS, firmware, etc.) that can be executed in the pairing digital system 100. [ The storage unit 120 may mean a combination of at least one storage device included in the pairing digital system 100.

The communication unit 130 may perform communication with the pair system 200. The communication unit 130 may be configured to perform communication only with the pair system 200 forming a pair with the pairing digital system 100. [ Then, the communication unit 130 must perform pairing with the pair system 200 forming a pair with the pairing digital system 100, or perform the function or operation defined in the present invention only after tagging at least once .

Pair formation may refer to a series of processes or procedures in which the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are configured to be a pair.

The pair system 200 may be a system determined by the manufacturer or the distribution entity of the pair system 200 or the pairing digital system 100 to be paired with a specific pairing digital system 100 in advance, Or may be a system that is optionally implemented to pair with the digital system.

For example, the manufacturer of the pairing digital system 100 may determine the pair system 200 that can pair with the pairing digital system 100 in advance. According to an embodiment, a manufacturer or a distributor of the pairing digital system 100 may provide a tag device capable of pairing with the digital system 100, and when a user attaches the tag device to a predetermined object, The object to which the tag device is attached may be implemented as the pair system. Alternatively, a user may select the pair system 200 to pair with the pairing digital system 100.

According to one embodiment, the pair system 200 may be a financial transaction means that can be distributed by a predetermined financial institution. For example, a financial institution, which is a subject of the operation of the financial transaction system, can implement a credit card, an OTP card, a security card, or the like as the pair system 200 and issue it to a user. Alternatively, a point card, a membership card, or the like provided by a mobile communication company to a user may be implemented in the pair system 200.

In any case, pairing is performed by storing identification information that can identify the pairing system 200 or the pairing digital system 100 that the pairing system 100 or the pair system 200 is a pair with . This procedure can be defined as a pair formation procedure. When the pair formation procedure is performed, a pair authentication procedure may be performed before the pairing is formed to implement the technical idea of the present invention.

Accordingly, the pair forming procedure may include the step of the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200 receiving the identification information of the pair system 200 or the pairing digital system 100. That is, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can perform the pair forming procedure through direct communication (e.g., various RF communication or NFC communication). According to an embodiment, the pair formation procedure may be performed by a user through the application system 200 (or the digital system 100) or the pair system 200 via a predetermined application or software (e.g., OS) 100).

Of course, in the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200, identification information of the pair system 200 or the pairing digital system 100 that is a pair in advance is stored, and the information may not be changed have.

If the pair system 200 is implemented so that the user can attach or insert a target object such as a predetermined object, the target system 200 can not easily recognize the target object, There is also an effect of preventing the loss or theft of itself.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, in order to give an alarm signal to a user when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance or more, the security digital system and the pair system are normally in a pairing state The present invention may be referred to as 'alarm pairing state'). In this case, when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 attempt to acquire predetermined information through pairing, a pair authentication procedure is performed in advance between the two systems forming the pair, There is also an effect of preventing loss or theft of the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 itself.

Meanwhile, unlike the alarm pairing state, the NFC communication method, that is, the pairing may be performed during tagging.

Whether or not the paired digital system 100 is in the paired state can be determined depending on whether the communication state between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 satisfies predetermined criteria. The communication state may depend on the distance between the digital system 100 and the pair system 200.

The pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may perform wireless communication (e.g., RF communication). Therefore, the communication environment between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may be more affected. In this specification, since the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 assume a normal living environment of a person, the communication state is a dominant condition in the distance between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 It can be assumed that it is affected. Of course, if there is an object that may interfere with wireless communication between the pair system 200 or the pairing digital system 100, the pairing may not be performed even if the distance is sufficiently close.

When the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are paired, for example, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can communicate with each other. Alternatively, it may mean that a signal of a predetermined size or larger can be transmitted to the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 even if communication is performed. That is, in a general communication environment, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are present within a communication distance capable of communicating with each other, or within a predetermined distance shorter than the communication distance can do.

Meanwhile, the communication between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can be performed in various ways. It is well known that, in accordance with this approach, the distance and / or environment in which pairing is possible may vary.

The communication between the communication unit 130 and the pair system 200 included in the pairing digital system 100 may be various embodiments such as Bluetooth, NFC, infrared communication, and optical communication. A communication device for such communication may be provided in the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200, respectively.

According to one embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can perform RF communication. For example, the digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can perform communication using a wireless standard protocol such as Bluetooth or Zigbee. Of course, when performing Bluetooth communication, the pair system 200 may have its own power source or be a system capable of receiving power from the outside. On the other hand, in the case of Zigbee communication, it may be advantageous that communication can be performed with low power as compared with Bluetooth. In addition, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may perform various short-range wireless communications (e.g., IrDA, UWB, etc.) according to an embodiment, and the pairing digital system 100 And the pair system 200 may be provided with predetermined configurations for the environment required for the wireless communication.

According to one embodiment, the pair system 200 may be a system driven by an RF signal output from the pairing digital system 100 without its own power source. That is, RFID communication or NFC communication can be performed. For example, the pair system 200 may be implemented as an RFID tag, or may be a predetermined device including the RFID tag. In this case, the pairing digital system 100 may serve as a reader capable of performing communication with the RFID tag. The pairing digital system 100 may then output a predetermined RF signal to search for the pair system 200 or to receive certain information stored in the pair system 200. In addition, the communication distance between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may vary according to the output power of the pairing digital system 100.

Generally, the pair system 200 can be implemented to be carried in a user's purse. Then, when the user is carrying the pairing digital system 100, a communication protocol capable of performing contactless communication with the pair system 200 located in the purse can be selected to implement the technical idea of the present invention . It is preferable that a configuration to which such a communication protocol can be applied be provided in the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200.

According to one embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 may perform communication using a plurality of different communication protocols. For example, the communication unit 130 included in the pairing digital system 100 may include a first communication module 131 and a second communication module 132. For example, the first communication module 131 may be a communication means for performing an alarm pairing function as will be described later, and the second communication module 132 may be a communication means for obtaining security information. Of course, the first communication device 221 and the second communication device 222 corresponding to the first communication module 131 and the second communication module 132 may be provided in the pair system 200 .

The first communication module 131 may be a communication unit having a longer communication distance than the second communication module 132. The first communication module 131 and the first communication device 221 included in the pair system 200 maintain the pairing state and then enter the non-paired state when the pairing digital system 100 and / The system 200 can output a predetermined alarm signal. To this end, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may further include an alarm unit 140, respectively. Or the distance between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can be determined according to the communication state of the first communication module 131 and the first communication device 221, The alarm signal can be outputted when the distance between the first and second sensors 100 and 200 is more than a certain distance. Of course, the two systems 100 and 200 may be judged to be in a pairing state only if they are within the predetermined distance even within the communicable distance.

The first communication module 131 and the first communication device 221 periodically or continuously determine whether the first communication module 131 and the first communication device 221 are in a pairing state. When it is determined that the first communication module 131 and the first communication device 221 are spaced apart from each other by more than a predetermined distance, As a means for judging whether or not it is possible.

Even when the first communication module 120 and the first communication device 221 are provided as means for pairing of alarms, the first communication module 120 and the first communication device 221 Some information (for example, necessary information) for realizing the technical idea of the invention can be transmitted or received more easily. That is, since the first communication module 120 and the first communication device 221 search for a system to be paired in order to determine whether or not they are in a pairing state, Can be transmitted and received.

According to another embodiment, the first communication module 131 and the first communication device 221 are only involved in performing an alarm pairing function, while the second communication module 132 and the second communication device 222 are related to each other, May be used to transmit and receive necessary information. That is, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can perform communication through different communication protocols. In this case, it can be assumed that the communication through the different communication protocol is not collided. Alternatively, the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 may further include predetermined means capable of avoiding a collision even when a collision occurs. In the present specification, to emphasize the technical features of the present invention, it is assumed that the two systems 100 and 200 attempt to communicate at the same time, or a technical idea for avoiding the collision is not considered.

The first communication protocol, that is, the communication protocol performed by the first communication module 131 and the first communication device 221 is a second communication protocol, that is, the second communication module 132 and the second communication device 222 May be a protocol capable of performing communication with a relatively long distance as compared with the communication protocol performed by the mobile communication terminal. According to one embodiment, the first communication protocol may be a protocol for relatively long communication such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc., and the second communication protocol may be a communication protocol for NFC (including RFID communication) communication.

Because the first communication protocol is for alarm pairing and is a protocol for determining that the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are within a certain distance, While the second communication protocol is for exchanging information, because it may be desirable for the two systems 100, 200 to be at a closer distance for information exchange.

In addition, when the second communication protocol is NFC, there is no need to perform a separate pair formation procedure or a pair authentication procedure for information exchange again, and information exchange may be performed immediately through tagging.

Also, there is an effect that the pair system 200 in which the object performing the communication in the second communication protocol is communicating with the first communication protocol can be specified. That is, the pair system 200 capable of communicating through the second communication protocol can be limited to the pair system 200 in which the pairing is maintained through the first communication protocol. For example, the pair system 200 that performs communication through the first communication protocol records information capable of identifying the second communication module 132, and the second communication module 132 communicates only with the pair system 200 in which the information is recorded . ≪ / RTI >

In any case, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 have one communication means, and the communication means may perform an alarm pairing function and / or an information exchange function. Alternatively, each of the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 includes a plurality of communication means, one of the communication means performs an alarm pairing function, and the other one performs an information exchange function .

According to the technical idea of the present invention, the user can obtain security information through the pairing digital system 100 without removing the pair system 200 from the purse. Acquisition of such security information may be possible only in the state where the pairing state is maintained or only when at least one tagging is performed. In a state where the pairing state is maintained, the user can make a predetermined input or request, and the necessary information can be obtained. Or tagging itself may be treated as an act of requesting the necessary information. The pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can periodically or continuously communicate with each other to determine whether or not the pairing state is maintained. Only when the pairing is required, the pairing digital system 100 and The pair system 200 may be paired through a predetermined pair forming procedure and / or a pair authentication procedure.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance or in a non-pairing state (Hereinafter, when the alarm output condition is satisfied), it is possible to output a predetermined alarm signal. Further, in the present invention, when the pairing state is maintained and the alarm output condition is satisfied, a predetermined alarm signal is output as an 'alarm pairing' function. The alarm signal may be a predetermined voice signal, a visual signal using a lamp or predetermined display information, or a tactile signal such as vibration.

Thereby, there is an effect that a legitimate user blinks and the risk of losing or moving the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200 is reduced. Of course, there is also the effect of reducing the chance of being stolen by someone else.

On the other hand, when a legitimate user desires to possess only one of the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200 intentionally, the pairing digital system 100 100) or the pair system 200 may be implemented.

The 'alarm pairing' according to the embodiment of the present invention is based on the assumption that the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are paired in a normal case. That is, when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance, that is, when a non-paired state is established, a predetermined alarm signal can be output. And the pair system 200 are in a pairing state. Accordingly, the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200 may be omitted from the pair authentication procedure for obtaining the necessary information (i.e., the procedure for authenticating whether the system is a pair-specified system by a pair forming procedure) The necessary information can be obtained by a simple method such as a signal receiving method through the specific button of the digital system 100 or the pair system 200. [

In addition, the necessary information acquisition in the 'alarm pairing' state is not necessary because a pairing procedure is not required between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200, so that a very efficient effect is obtained in terms of speed, Can be greatly improved. This difference in effectiveness is inherent to maintaining the pairing status continuously (or periodically in very short time units) in the case of 'alarm pairing' It can be said that pairing is performed by the pair system 200 because it is performed once or on a single occasion.

Depending on the implementation, i.e., the manner in which the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 communicate, the user may select a predetermined Performing the act of locating the pairing digital system 100 within the distance to the pair system 200 or placing the pair system 200 within a predetermined distance of the pairing digital system 100 It is possible. For example, the pairing digital system 100 includes an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip, and the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can perform NFC communication. In this case, the user may perform pairing by positioning the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 within a predetermined distance (e.g., 10 cm), i.e., performing tagging.

For example, a user may bring the pairing digital system 100 closer to his wallet. That is, tagging can be performed. Then, the pairing digital system 100 is paired with the pair system 200 in the wallet. At this time, predetermined information for implementing the technical idea of the present invention can be exchanged.

In addition, the pairing digital system 100 may finally acquire necessary information only when performing a plurality of tagging. That is, some of the processes required to acquire necessary information during or after each tagging may be performed sequentially.

For example, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 need to be tagged a predetermined number of times a plurality of times to transmit necessary information from the pair system 200 to the pairing digital system 100 . For example, in the case of tagging once, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may perform a pair authentication procedure for authenticating whether the system is a pair system. Once tagged again, the necessary information stored in the pair system 200 may be transmitted to the pairing digital system 100.

The process by which the pairing digital system 100 is to be performed in order to obtain the necessary information (for example, at least a part of the specific application or at least a part of the key information) may be performed in such a plurality of times, The process to be performed separately may be performed each time a plurality of times of tagging are performed. Or all of the plurality of processes may be performed while the last tagging among the plurality of tagging is performed.

Meanwhile, the pairing digital system 100 may further include an alarm unit 140. The pair system 200 may further include a predetermined alarm device (not shown). The alarm unit 130 or the alarm device (not shown) may output a predetermined alarm signal. The alarm signal may be a signal for informing the user when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are separated by a predetermined distance or more. Although the alarm signal may be a voice signal, the alarm signal may be implemented as various types of signals for allowing the user to recognize that the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are separated by a predetermined distance or more, such as a vibration or a display signal.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method of forming a pair by a pairing digital system and a pair system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a pair forming procedure can be performed by directly inputting the identification information of the pairing digital system 100 or the pairing system of the pair system 200.

According to one embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 may be provided with a predetermined application 10 for implementing the technical idea of the present invention. The application may be downloadable from the pairing digital system 100 or a predetermined web server operated by a providing entity or a utilizing entity of the pair system 200.

The user can execute the application 10, and a UI as shown in Fig. 3 can be provided to the user. Then, the user can input identification information of the pair system 200 to be a pair with the pairing digital system 100 through the UI. The input identification information can be stored in a predetermined storage device, and the communication module 120 can confirm the stored identification information.

For example, there may be a case where the pairing digital system 100 is a mobile phone, and the pair system 200 is a smart card that can be paired with the pairing digital system 100. In this case, the pairing digital system 100 may download the application 10 on a web site of a card company or financial institution providing the smart card, or in a predetermined app store or the like. Then, after the user of the pairing digital system 100 executes the application 10, the user can perform the pair forming procedure by inputting the identification information of the smart card.

Meanwhile, according to an embodiment, the pair system 200 may also be a system in which a predetermined application can be operated. In this case, the pair forming procedure may be performed by inputting the identification information of the pairing digital system 100 through a predetermined application installed and executed in the pair system 200.

When the pair formation procedure is performed by the user, the user can select a pair system 200 that is paired with the pairing digital system 100 of his / her own, and can select a pair system 200 capable of implementing the technical idea of the present invention A pair system 200 that is a pair with the pairing digital system 100 may be changed, or a plurality of pairs may be used as a pair system.

On the other hand, a system to be paired in advance may be determined by the providing system of the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200. In this case, the information about the pair system 200 may be stored in advance in the pairing digital system 100, or the information about the pairing digital system 100 may be stored in advance in the pair system 200, Or distributed. According to an embodiment, the providing entity may sell or distribute the pair system 200 (or the digital system 100) to the user while selling or distributing the pairing digital system 100 (or the pair system 200) can do. Particularly, this may be the case in the case of a manufacturer or a distributor who intends to manage a customer or a community with a clouding system, or to conduct a business related to authentication or settlement utilizing the technical idea of the present invention. In a case where the alarm pairing is performed first and the pairing for acquiring necessary information according to the technical idea of the present invention is performed in the alarm pairing state, a system that is a pair of each of the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 Is more likely to be predetermined in the distribution and manufacturing stages.

Meanwhile, in order for the pair forming procedure to be performed, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may communicate with each other. For example, in order to perform the pair forming procedure, a user may input a predetermined signal to the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200 in advance to request the pair forming procedure to be performed. When such a signal is input, the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200 can know in advance that a pair forming procedure is performed. The pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can then communicate with each other. The pairing digital system 100 may then receive identification information identifying the pair system 200 from the pair system 200. According to an embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 may transmit the identification information of the pairing digital system 100 to the pair system 200. Alternatively, both of these processes may be performed. The identification information of the transmitted pair system 200 or the identification information of the pairing digital system 100 may be recorded in the pairing digital system 100 or the pair system 200, respectively.

When the identification information of another system to be a pair in one of the systems is recorded, the pair formation procedure can be completed. When the pair forming procedure is completed, the pairing digital system 100 (or the pair system 200) communicates with the pair system 200 (or the digital system 100) corresponding to the identification information recorded in the pairing digital system 100 If possible, within a certain distance, or in case of tagging.

Of course, pairing may be performed in each of the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 to determine whether the system is a paired system through a pair formation procedure.

If the pair forming procedure is performed and the pair authentication procedure is further performed if necessary, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 can be put into a pairing state. Or tagging may be performed at least once. Then, a specific function that can be performed in the pairing digital system 100 as described above can be performed. That is, the specific function may be performed only when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state or at least once tagged.

An example of the case where the specific function is a modification function of the first information is shown in Figs.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a manner in which a pairing digital system protects information about the owner in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. 5 is a diagram illustrating a method by which a pairing digital system can delete or change information about an owner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4, the controller 110 stores at least one first information (e.g., first owner information, second owner information) in a predetermined protection area 121 included in the storage unit 120, Can be stored. That is, according to an embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 may additionally store new owner information without deleting or changing information on the existing owner every time the owner changes. In this case, the protection area 121 may perform the same function as a registration part of the pairing digital system 100. Also, in this case, information on a plurality of owners stored in the protection area 121, that is, information for marking information on the current owner of the first information, may be further stored. Depending on the implementation, the last stored first information may be treated as information about the current owner.

The control unit 110 may monitor an I / O call (for example, a message, a request, etc.) requesting access to the protection area 121 among various processes activated in the pairing digital system 100. In addition, the control unit 110 may store information (or information on an application) of a predetermined authorized process 20. The control unit 110 monitors the I / O call and determines whether an authorized process 20 accesses the protection area 121 and / or whether the protection area 121 is to be modified have. According to one embodiment, the controller 110 may determine whether the call is from the authorized process 20 by hooking the I / O call. Then, the control unit 110 may selectively process the I / O call (that is, perform an operation corresponding to the actual I / O call) or invalidate the I / O call. For normal processing, the controller 110 may output a new I / O call that causes the result of the call to be received by the process 20. Or may output a null signal to the process 20 to invalidate the I / O call output from the process 20 or may not perform any response.

As a result, the control unit 110 may selectively access the protection area 121 to modify the protection area 121. At this time, if the communication unit 130 and the pair system 200 are not paired or the tagging is not performed at least once, the control unit 110 may modify the protection area 121 output from any process Or to request a request to do so. In addition, if the communication unit 130 and the pair system 200 are paired or tagging is performed at least once, the modification request of the protection area 121 output from the specific process 20 can be selectively granted .

According to one embodiment, when the pair system 200 is paired or tagged at least once, the controller 110 may be configured to modify any process in the protection area 121 . However, in order to achieve higher security, in this case, the protection area 121 may be modified only by a specific process, that is, a pre-authorized application.

In addition, the pre-authorized application may be stored in the pairing digital system 100 in advance. However, the pair system 200 may store information necessary for executing the application, that is, necessary information. The necessary information may mean information necessary for execution of the application. The required information may be, for example, all or part of the software code of the application. That is, if there is not all or a part of the code of the application, the application is not performed. According to an embodiment, there may be a case where predetermined key information is required to execute the application. For example, a password, a serial number, or the like must be input before the application may be executed, in which case at least a part of the key information may be the necessary information.

Referring to FIG. 5, the pairing digital system 100 may be implemented such that modification (recording, deletion, and / or modification) of the first information is performed only through a predetermined application 30. The application 30 can then be executed in the pairing digital system 100, as long as all of the necessary information for executing the application 30 is stored in the pairing digital system 100. [

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the necessary information includes at least the code of the application (30). According to an embodiment, key information may be further included in the necessary information.

All of the necessary information may be stored in the pairing digital system 100 in advance. In such a case, the control unit 110 may determine whether the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state or at least once tagged, and may execute the application 30 according to the determination result. Then, the user can modify the first information through the application (30). When the application 30 is executed at least once, the control unit 110 may execute the application 30 only within a predetermined time after being tagged at least once.

According to another embodiment, at least some of the necessary information may be stored in the pair system 200. 5, the controller 110 determines whether the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state (S10). If the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state, 200) to receive the necessary information stored in the pair system 200 (S11). Then, the control unit 110 may store the received necessary information in the storage unit 120. [ If necessary, the controller 110 may generate the application code by combining information received from the pair system 200 and information stored in the pairing digital system 100 in advance, or may generate the key information. Then, the control unit 110 may execute the application 30. [ Of course, the controller 110 determines whether the tagging has been performed at least once (S20), and may receive the necessary information from the pair system 200 according to the determination result (S21).

When at least a part of the information required for the application to be executed is stored in the pair system 200, the case where the pairing digital system 100 executes the application 30 even when an attack such as hacking is performed, As shown in FIG.

In order to maintain this effect, the control unit 110 may further perform a predetermined security procedure. That is, information received from the pair system 200 or information (for example, application code or key information, etc.) generated based on the received information to execute the application 30 is transmitted to the pairing digital system 100 , If the pairing digital system 100 executes the application 30 once and the pairing digital system 100 stores all the information necessary for execution of the application 30 Lt; / RTI > Therefore, when the execution of the application 30 is terminated, the control unit 110 can delete information received from the pair system 200 and / or information generated based on the received information. In addition, when the application 30 is running, it may monitor an I / O call that is called in the pairing digital system 100 to prevent duplication of the application.

On the other hand, a concrete example in which the pair system 200 stores at least a part of the necessary information is shown in FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of controlling execution of a specific application according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7A, in order to control the execution of the specific application 61 by the pairing digital system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, information necessary for execution of the specific application 61, that is, necessary information (60) needs to be defined. The necessary information 60 may be the code of the specific application 61 itself. Predetermined key information 62 may be further included in the necessary information 60 according to the type of the specific application 61. [

Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the pairing digital system 100 may store all of the necessary information 60 (61 and 62). Then, the necessary information 60 may not be stored in the pair system 200 at all. In this case, the transmission of at least a portion of the necessary information 60 may not occur while the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in the pairing state or at least once the tagging is performed.

According to another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7C, only a part of the application 61-1 of the necessary information is stored in the pairing digital system 100, and the remaining part 61-2 is stored in the pair system 200, May be stored. The remaining portion 61-2 may then be transmitted to the pairing digital system 100 while the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in the pairing state or at least once the tagging is performed. Then, the control unit 110 may generate the application 61 by combining the part 61-1 of the application with the remaining part 61-2. The combination of the portion 61-1 of the application and the remaining portion 61-2 may be a process of simply concatenating the two codes or may be a combination through a predetermined algorithm. Similar processing may be performed when the key information 62 is stored in the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 separately.

On the other hand, all of the necessary information 60 (61 and 62) may be stored in the pair system 200 as shown in FIG. 7D. In this case both of the necessary information 60 (61 and 62) are transmitted to the pairing digital system 100 while the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in the pairing state or at least once during tagging Lt; / RTI >

On the other hand, the technical idea as described in Figs. 4, 5, and 7 need not be applied to applications in which the application can modify the first information. That is, the technical idea as described above may be applied to all applications executable in the pairing digital system 100. As a matter of course, an application to which the technical idea of the present invention is applied may be predetermined and a state that should be recognized by the control unit 110 as needed.

An example of this is shown in Fig.

6 is a diagram for explaining a concept that execution of a specific application is controlled according to a method of providing a pairing digital system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6A, the pairing digital system 100 may execute certain applications (e.g., 40, 41). The first application (e.g., 40) may be an application to which the technical idea of the present invention is not applied, and the second application (e.g., 41) may be an application to which the technical idea of the present invention is applied, ). ≪ / RTI >

For example, if a user enters an execution request of the first application 40 into the pairing digital system 100, the pairing digital system 100 may execute the first application 40. [

If the user inputs an execution request of the second application 41 to the pairing digital system 100, the second application 41 is required to be executed in the pairing digital system 100 And the UI 50 indicating that the pair system 200 is in a pairing state or that tagging should be performed at least once may be displayed.

At this time, at least a part of the necessary information corresponding to the second application 41 may be stored in the pair system 200. Even if all of the necessary information is stored in the pair system 200, predetermined information (e.g., an icon, etc.) that can identify the second application 41 may be stored in the pairing digital system 100 . This allows the user to determine that the second application 41 can be executed in the pairing digital system 100 when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state or at least once tagged Able to know. According to an embodiment, if the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are tagged in the pairing state or at least once, the second application 41 may be automatically executed without a separate execution request.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, the control unit 110 not only can control the execution of the second application 41 through the pair system 200, It is possible to control whether or not some of the functions to be executed are executed. For example, some of the functions of the second application 41 may be executed even if the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are not in a pairing state or at least once tagging is performed. However, the predetermined function may be executed only when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state or at least once tagging has been performed. Information indicating whether the control function is a certain function or not may be registered in the control unit 110 in advance or may be included in the second application 41. [ Then, the control unit 110 determines whether the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 have been tagged in the state of being paired or at least once, and determines whether to perform the control function according to the determination result It can be judged.

The second application 41, that is, the control application controlled by the pair system 200 to which the technical idea of the present invention is applied, may be a user application that can be installed in the pairing digital system 100 by a user , A unit application of the OS installed in the pairing digital system 100, or a unit application of the firmware. For example, if the pairing digital system 100 is a mobile phone, the application may be an application that allows the mobile phone to perform a call. Then, the execution of the application itself may be controlled by the pair system 200, and only some functions of the application (e.g., outgoing call function) may be controlled.

Depending on the implementation, the control application may be the operating system or firmware itself for driving the specific hardware provided in the pairing digital system 100 itself or the pairing digital system 100 itself. In this case, according to the technical idea of the present invention, the pairing digital system 100 itself is set to enable the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 to be in a state of being paired or at least once tagged . Of course, at this time, the minimum hardware necessary for performing pairing or tagging, such as the communication unit 130 of the pairing digital system 100, and / or the software for driving the hardware should preferably operate normally. The control unit 110 can enable or disable the specific hardware by changing or adjusting the setting of the software that drives the specific hardware to be controlled, that is, the application. If necessary, the application may be a different application, such as a pairing state or an application (e.g., a device driver) that drives specific hardware when tagging is performed, and an application when not. It is also possible to selectively determine the software for driving the specific hardware, or to control only the specific functions of the specific hardware by changing the settings of the software. For example, a particular communication chip (e.g., Bluetooth or NFC chip) may be activated only when it is paired with the pair system 200 or at least once tagged. Or only a certain function of the communication chip (for example, a card emulation function of an NFC chip) may be controlled. Or a network device for connecting to a predetermined network such as the Internet may be activated only in the state of being paired with the pair system 200 or at least once. Various other embodiments may be possible. In particular, if a higher level of security is required, such as accessing important information or performing financial functions, this technical idea of the present invention may be more effective.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, the second application 41 can be applied to an authentication-related application requiring security, an application used for a financial transaction, and the like, and thus can have a superior security effect. For example, the second application 41 may be a client application that connects to a specific financial institution and enables financial transactions (for example, ordering, payment, etc. of a transfer, stock or gift) to be performed. The server (not shown) of the specific financial institution can control the financial transaction to be performed only through the second application 41. The second application 41 can be executed only when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a pairing state or tagged at least once, as described above. In this case, even if the authentication information capable of authenticating the user is leaked, the financial transaction through the specific financial institution can be prevented from being stolen by the hacker or the fraudulent acquirer until the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are stolen It can be unacceptable and very safe.

Further, when the information about the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 is predetermined and registered in the server of the specific financial institution, a higher security effect can be obtained. That is, a financial transaction may be permitted if the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 registered in the server of the specific financial institution is in a pairing state or must be tagged at least once. When the second application 41 is executed, the second application 41 transmits the identification information of the pairing digital system 100 and / or the identification information of the pair system 200 to the server of the specific financial institution And the server may allow financial transactions only if the registered identification information and the information received from the second application 41 correspond.

Of course, this technical idea may be applied to the specific function of the second application 41. [ That is, the execution of the second application 41 can be performed freely, but the specific function (e.g., order, payment, etc. of the transfer, stock or gift, etc.) (100) and the pair system (200) are in a pairing state or tagged at least once. At this time, the specific function may be permitted by the server of the specific financial institution only if the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 is a system registered in advance in the server of the specific financial institution.

Even when the specific functions of the second application 41 or the second application 41 are executed using specific hardware (for example, NFC chips, etc.) provided in the pairing digital system 100, Thoughts can be applied.

8 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a pair system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 8, the pair system 200 may include a storage device 212 and a communication device 220 capable of performing communication with the communication unit 130 included in the pairing digital system 100 .

According to an embodiment, the pair system 200 may have data processing capability by itself, and in this case, a predetermined control device 211 may be further provided.

According to one embodiment, the pair system 200 may be implemented with a smart card including the storage device 212 and the control device 211. In this case, the pair system 200 may be a system in which the smart card is further provided with a communication device 220 for implementing the technical idea of the present invention in the conventional control device 211 and the storage device 212 .

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment, the pair system 200 may merely perform a function of forming a pair with the pairing digital system 100 only. In this case, at least one of the control device 211 and / or the storage device 212 may not be included in the pair system 200.

For example, the pair system 200 may include a communication device (e.g., RF communication device 220, etc.). In some implementations, the communication device (e.g., RF communication device 220, etc.) itself may be the pair system 200. According to one embodiment, the communication device (e.g., RF communication device 220, etc.) may include a predetermined RF antenna.

The communication device 220 may be implemented, for example, as an RFID tag. According to an embodiment, the pair system 200 itself may be the RFID tag. According to another embodiment, the communication device 220 may include an RF reader. In any case, the communication device 220 may be configured to communicate with the communication unit 130 included in the pairing digital system 100.

Also, the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to provide the digital system 100 and the pair system 200, It may further include means for outputting a predetermined alarm signal so that the user can recognize the alarm signal. Means for measuring the distance between the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 for outputting the alarm signal are further provided in the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200, respectively . In some implementations, the distance may be measured based on the communication state (signal strength, etc.) of the communication unit 130 or the communication device 220, and in this case, It is possible.

9 is a diagram for explaining a concept of a security digital system or a pair system outputting an alarm signal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Meanwhile, the pairing digital system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include an alarm unit 140. The alarm unit 140 may output an alarm signal when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a non-paired state (that is, when they are separated by a predetermined distance or more).

Such an example will be described with reference to FIG. Referring to FIG. 9, the controller 110 included in the pairing digital system 100 may determine whether pairing with the pair system 200 is maintained (S14). That is, the controller 110 can confirm whether or not the alarm is paired. Of course, the alarm pairing function may be activated or deactivated at the request of the user.

At least a portion of the necessary information stored in the pair system 200 may be transmitted to the pairing digital system 100 when a predetermined event occurs in the alarm pairing state (e.g., when a request is entered from the user or automatically) (S24). As described above, execution of a specific application (or a specific function of a specific application) may be controlled, or activation of the specific hardware (or a specific function of the specific hardware) may be controlled (S24-1).

Meanwhile, when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are in a non-paired state while the pairing state (i.e., the alarm pairing state) is maintained, or when the two systems 100 and 200 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance , The alarm output condition can be satisfied. Then, the control unit 110 may control the alarm unit 140 to output a predetermined alarm signal (S34). According to an embodiment, the pair system 200 may also output a predetermined alarm signal (S34-1).

The pair system 200 may also periodically or continuously determine whether a pairing state (i.e., an alarm pairing state) with the pairing digital system 100 is maintained. For example, the pair system 200 periodically or continuously receives a predetermined signal from the pairing digital system 100, and if the signal is no longer received, the pair system 200 determines that the alarm output condition is satisfied and outputs an alarm signal have.

As described above, the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 may be configured such that the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance The alarm signal may be output.

For example, as described above, the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may be paired only within a first distance (e.g., 10 cm), and the alarm signal may be paired at a second distance (e.g., several meters) And may be output when the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 are disconnected.

According to one embodiment, the pairing digital system 100 and / or the pair system 200 provides an alarm pairing function, and the pairing digital system 100 or the alarm pairing as described above, (For example, 1 meter or 10 centimeters in the case of NFC), and the alarming distance is set to be longer than the reference distance of the alarm pairing Signal.

If the alarm pairing function is disabled or the alarm pairing function is not provided, even if the pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 satisfy the alarm output condition, The pairing digital system 100 and the pair system 200 may perform the same or similar operations.

The pairing digital system and the method of providing the same according to the embodiment of the present invention can be embodied as a computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a hard disk, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like in the form of a carrier wave (for example, . In addition, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed over network-connected computer systems so that computer readable codes can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily inferred by programmers skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains.
