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

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Prior to the description, the dial locking system described in the embodiments of the present invention may be constituted by one device and may be a navigation terminal, a tablet PC, a laptop, a smart phone, The present invention can be applied not only to a user device such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) and a mobile communication terminal but also to a server and applied to various services such as a web service Of course.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a lock system using a dial according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a display unit 10 for displaying a plurality of dials displaying a plurality of characters, an interface unit 20 for receiving a user input for each dial ) Selects a reference character from any one of the plurality of dials according to the user input and selects one or more dependent characters corresponding to the reference character in another dial to generate a character sequence with the reference character, A setting unit (30) configured to arrange the at least one character sequence to generate setting information, a lock processing unit configured to lock the setting unit when the setting unit (30) completes setting, and to rotate at least one of the plurality of dials (40) for determining an inter-arrangement pattern, and an operation unit (40) for determining an inter-dial arrangement pattern, And a determination unit (50) for checking the dependent characters corresponding to the reference character, sequentially comparing the character with the setting information, and releasing the locked state if all the characters coincide with each other.

Hereinafter, a configuration in which the locking system using the dial is applied to the user device 100 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

2, the setting unit 30 may display a plurality of dials 110 and 120, each of which displays a plurality of characters through the display unit 10 of the user device 100, The interface unit 20 may receive a user input for operating the dials 110 and 120 and may be connected to an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse so that characters displayed on the dials may be directly input with a password In addition, it can support the touch interface and receive the characters displayed on the respective dials based on the touch input of the user.

Accordingly, the setting unit 30 can display a plurality of dials for setting the initial password through the display unit 10, and the plurality of dials 110 and 120 ) Or by directly selecting a character displayed on the plurality of dials 110 and 120 or by rotating at least one of the plurality of dials 110 and 120 to the left or right to select a character, Can be generated.

At this time, the setting unit 30 can display the respective dials 110 and 120 through the display unit 10 so as to be rotatable about the same axis, and can display different radii.

Accordingly, the setting unit 30 can position the characters of the respective dials 110 and 120 to face each other and to be collinear with each other, thereby allowing the dials 110 and 120 to be positioned on the same line, The characters of the dials 110 and 120 can be set in correspondence.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the setting unit 30 may apply various settings for the correspondence between the dials 110 and 120, Characters may be set as corresponding.

3 (a), the setting unit 30 determines whether or not the plurality of dials (not shown) are set in accordance with the user's input, The user can select the reference character A in the first dial 110 of the first dial 110 and the one or more dependent characters corresponding to the reference character in the second dial 120. [

At this time, the reference character becomes a reference point, and can be set as a dependent character that is dependent on the reference character by rotating a dial other than the dial corresponding to the reference character to map the character indicated on the other dial to the reference point.

For example, the setting unit 30 sets the first dial 110 in accordance with a user input through the interface unit 20, as shown in FIG. 3A, 1 'to be selected as a dependent character corresponding to the reference character' A 'by rotating the second dial 120 to the right according to the user input, Quot; 1 " can be selected as a part of the cipher as a dependent character corresponding to the reference character in accordance with the reference character 'A'.

At this time, the setting unit 30 can select a character of the second dial 120, which is located on the same line as the reference character of the first dial 110, as a dependent character, The dependent character corresponding to the reference character can be set as a part of the cipher.

As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the setting unit 30 selects the dependent character '1' as a part of the cipher, and then, based on the reference character 'A' Can be rotated to the left to select another dependent character '6' corresponding to the reference character 'A'.

In other words, the setting unit 30 may generate one or more dependent characters dependent on one reference character and generate a password.

Through the above-described process, the setting unit 30 can generate a character sequence such as 'A16' by sequentially arranging the reference character 'A' and the dependent characters '1' and '6' , And the character sequence can be set as part of the cipher as shown in Fig. 3 (b).

It is needless to say that the setting unit 30 can further select a dependent character and increase the number of digits of the character sequence according to the addition of the dependent character.

In addition, when the setting of the password is terminated based on the user input, the setting unit 30 determines the character sequence composed of the reference character and one or more dependent characters as a password, and sets the character sequence as a password Information can be generated and stored.

However, if another reference character B is selected according to user input as shown in FIG. 3 (c), the setting unit 30 selects one or more dependent characters as described above with reference to another reference character 'B' And may generate an additional character sequence 'B1' that is different from the character sequence as shown.

At this time, the setting unit 30 rotates the first dial 110 corresponding to the different reference character according to a user input instead of the second dial 120 so that the user can match the other reference character with the desired dependent character B1 'may be generated as the additional character sequence by selecting a dependent character on the basis of the other reference character even in the inter-dial arrangement pattern changed through the rotation of the first dial 110. [

In other words, the setting unit 30 can not only set a password after generating a character sequence by rotating only one dial, but also rotate a plurality of dials alternately to generate a character sequence and set a password.

In addition, the setting unit 30 sets 'A16B1' as a part of the password as shown in the figure by sequentially arranging the additional character sequence 'B1' with the existing character sequence 'A16' according to the selection sequence, When the process is completed, 'A16B1' in which a plurality of character sequences are combined can be generated as the setting information, and the password setting can be terminated.

However, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), when the above-described process is repeated to generate another character sequence 'G4', it is also arranged in the order of selection to generate 'A16B1G4' as setting information, You may.

Thus, the setting unit 30 can set a plurality of reference characters as a plurality of reference points, rotate the dial corresponding to each reference point to generate a dependent character, thereby setting the character itself as a reference point, Since a plurality of characters displayed on the dial can be generated as reference points, it is possible to vary the position of the reference points according to the operation of the dial, so that the arrangement pattern of each dial can be varied in accordance with each password input, Do not memorize the pattern so that you can not enter the password.

Also, the setting unit 30 supports a user to generate a password with a desired number of digits. For example, the setting unit 30 can set a password such as A123456789B65421389G78945612.

In the above-described configuration, the setting unit 30 generates setting information through the operation of the dials 110 and 120, but it is also possible to transmit the setting information from the input unit such as a keyboard or a mouse through the interface unit 20. [ A reference character and a dependent character are generated in a separate input window displayed at the bottom of the dial in FIG. 3, and the setting information is generated by sequentially arranging the reference character and the dependent character according to the input order instead of the selection order.

In addition, although the setting unit 30 has been described as using two dials in the above-described configuration, it is also possible to configure three or more dials. In this case, the number of characters in the entire dial can be increased more than two dials Various combinations of setting information are possible. For example, in the case of three or more dials, a character sequence of 'A1%' is generated by sequentially selecting '1' and '%' as dependent characters from the other two dials corresponding to the letter 'A' can do.

4, when the password setting is completed as shown in FIG. 4A, the setting unit 30 sets 'A16B1G4E94', which is a configuration information in which a plurality of character sequences are arranged in the order of selection, as a password Can be created and stored.

The setting unit 30 may further include identification information for identifying a reference character among a plurality of characters included in the setting information, as shown in FIG. 4 (b).

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiment, the setting unit 30 can apply letters, alphabets of various languages, words, symbols, numbers, special characters, etc. as characters displayed on each dial, , Alphabets of various languages, words, symbols, numbers, special characters, and the like, and display them through the display unit 10 with the characters of the respective dials.

5 (a), the setting unit 30 selects a reference character and a dependent character of each of the dials 110 and 120 through the process of FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. The configuration information arranged in order can be generated through a combination of various characters displayed on each dial, such as '54R ㄸ%? Do7 ^^'.

Although it has been described above that the reference character is selected by the first dial 110 in the above-described configuration, it is needless to say that the reference character can be selected by the second dial 120 instead of the first dial 110, The characters of the first dial 110 and the second dial 120 may be alternately selected as reference characters.

For example, the reference character '7' among the characters included in the setting information shown in FIG. 5 (b) is different from the reference characters 'a, 4,%' 110).

6, the setting unit 30 may display a plurality of characters displayed on the dials 110 and 120 instead of the interface shown in FIG. 2 for the initial password setting in the form of a button An interface can be provided through the display unit 10.

The setting unit 30 sequentially selects one of the plurality of character buttons corresponding to one of the first dial 110 and the second dial 120 constituting the plurality of dials according to the user's input To generate a password as shown.

In addition, the setting unit 30 arranges one or more characters selected through a plurality of character buttons corresponding to each dial in accordance with the user input, arranges at least one of the characters as a reference You can select by letter.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the setting unit 30 may provide a check box for selecting a reference character corresponding to each selected character, and may select the checked character as a reference character.

Accordingly, the setting unit 30 can generate a character sequence by setting one or more characters arranged between different reference characters for each reference character or arranged after the last reference character as a dependent character dependent on the reference character Whereby the setting information in which one or more character sequences are arranged in order can be generated as a cipher.

At this time, when the reference character corresponding to the dependent character is selected, the setting unit 30 associates the dependent character with the reference character in the order preceding the selection order of the dependent character.

For example, the setting unit 30 sets '1' and '6' arranged between 'A' selected as the first reference character and 'B' selected as the second reference character as a first reference character It can be determined as a dependent character of 'A', and a character sequence such as 'A16' can be generated.

If there is no other reference character arranged after the second reference character 'B', the setting unit 30 sets' 1 ', which is arranged after the second reference character, to the second reference character' It is possible to generate another character sequence 'B1' by setting it as a dependent character.

Here, the different reference characters used as the reference for determining the dependent characters may be different in arrangement position, and the different reference characters may be the same character. For example, the first reference character and the second reference character are different in arrangement position, and all can be selected as the alphabet 'A'.

Then, the setting unit 30 generates 'A16B1' by arranging the character sequence and the other character sequence in the order of selection, and when the setting of the encryption is completed according to user input through the interface unit 20, 'A16B1' can be created as setting information and saved as a password.

Also, the setting unit 30 supports a user to generate a password with a desired number of digits. For example, the setting unit 30 can set a password such as A123456789B65421389G78945612.

As shown in the figure, the setting unit 30 corresponds to at least one character included in the setting information according to a user's input through the interface unit 20, and rotates according to any one of the plurality of dials Direction, the number of rotations, and the delay time until the next rotation, and may generate pattern information. The pattern information may be matched to the character corresponding to the pattern information in the setting information for each pattern information .

Hereinafter, the encryption process using the pattern information will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Meanwhile, when the password setting for generating the setting information as described above is completed, the operating unit 40 can process the setting unit 30 in a locked state upon completion of the setting of the setting unit 30 in association with the setting unit 30 .

For example, when the locking system is applied to the user device 100, the locking system may be configured to block access to information stored in the user device 100 to another user who has not entered a password according to the setting information, When the application is applied to the server, it is possible to lock the connection to the specific service for the device which has not inputted the password according to the setting information.

If the information on the locked state or access to the service is confirmed after the setting of the setting unit 30 is confirmed, the operation unit 40 displays a password input interface for receiving the password according to the setting information on the display unit 10 Can be displayed through.

7, the operating unit 40 may display a plurality of dials 110 and 120 through the display unit 10, and the interface unit 20 may be displayed as shown in FIG. (110, 120) by rotating at least one of the plurality of dials (110, 120) based on a user input through the dial (110, 120).

8, the operation unit 40 may transmit the arrangement pattern information on the arrangement pattern between the dials 110 and 120 to the determination unit 50, It is possible to confirm the arrangement pattern of the inter-dials 110 and 120 determined in conjunction with the operation unit 40. [

At this time, the determination unit 50 checks dependent characters corresponding to the reference character from the inter-dial placement pattern each time the arrangement pattern is determined between the dials 110 and 120, And can release the lock state if they all coincide with each other.

More specifically, the operation unit 40 recognizes the start and end points of rotation of the dial based on user input through the interface unit 20, and determines the inter-dial placement pattern at the end of the rotation have.

The determination unit 50 checks the arrangement pattern between the dials 110 and 120 by interlocking with the operation unit 40 or receiving information from the operation unit 40 whenever the inter-dial placement pattern is determined, Based on the setting information from the inter-dial arrangement pattern, the dependent character corresponding to the reference character can be sequentially compared with the setting information.

At this time, as shown in the drawing, the determining unit 50 selects 'A' in the inter-dial arrangement pattern because the first reference character located at the beginning is 'A' based on the setting information, Quot; 1 " corresponding to the reference character 'A' in the inter-dial arrangement pattern is compared with the setting information by checking whether the '1' is associated with the reference character 'A' Quot; 1 " corresponding to the reference character 'A', it can be determined that the password input through the inter-dial placement pattern coincides with a part of the setting information.

At this time, since the reference character is a reference point, the determination unit 50 can omit comparison of the reference character, and can compare only the dependent character.

Then, when the dependent character corresponding to the reference character matches the setting information, the determining unit 50 confirms the inter-dial placement pattern determined according to the determination of the next inter-dial placement pattern, , The character following the character '1' is the dependent character '6', and therefore, whether or not the dependent character arranged in correspondence with the reference character 'A' in the inter-dial arrangement pattern is '6' Can be determined.

In other words, each time the determination of the inter-dial arrangement pattern, the determination unit 50 determines whether or not the dependent character (s) corresponding to the previous reference character And it is possible to compare the setting information with the setting information in order to judge whether or not they are coincident with each other. Based on the identification information, it is possible to confirm the order of each reference character at each determination time of the inter-dial arrangement pattern. At this time, the character arrangement order may be a selection order of each character included in the setting information.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when determining the arrangement pattern of the inter-dials 110 and 120, the determination unit 50 determines, based on the setting information, B 'that is the next reference character' B 'corresponding to the setting information, and selects a dependent character corresponding to the next reference character' B 'in the inter-dial arrangement pattern as a dependent character corresponding to the next reference character' B ' It is possible to determine whether or not it coincides with the setting information by comparing it with the character '1'.

In this way, the determination unit 50 omits the comparison of the reference characters for each order of each reference character in accordance with the setting information, extracts the dependent characters corresponding to the reference character in the inter-dial arrangement pattern, The first dependent character corresponding to the previous reference character can be compared and the dependent character corresponding to the previous reference character can be sequentially compared until it becomes the next reference character.

Through the above-described process, the determination unit 50 identifies the dependent characters corresponding to the reference character for each inter-dial arrangement pattern and sequentially compares the character strings and characters according to the setting information, When all the characters included in the information coincide with each other, the locked state can be released as shown in FIG.

Accordingly, the determination unit 50 can release the locked state only for the user who has input the correct password according to the setting information, and can grant access to the information or the specific service.

In the above-described configuration, the setting unit 30 and the operation unit 40 provide a reset button through the display unit 10 during the password setting process or the password inputting process, so that the reset button The password setting or input is reset so that it can be restarted from the beginning or the erasure button is provided through the display unit 10 to correct erroneous input when selecting the erase button according to the user's input through the interface unit 20, And input convenience. In this case, the setting unit 30 and the operation unit 40 may provide the reset button and the erase button together through the display unit 10.

In addition, when the operation unit 40 is interlocked with the determination unit 50 and a password different from a preset password is inputted (in case of unsuccessful unlocking), the operation unit 40 resets the password input process itself and receives a password from the beginning Of course it is.

11 is a diagram illustrating another embodiment of the encryption setting of the lock system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, the setting unit 30 corresponds to at least one character included in the setting information Pattern information on at least one of the rotational direction, the number of rotations, and the delay time until the next rotation of each of the dials 110 and 120 can be generated and included in the setting information.

For example, when the setting unit 30 rotates right in the arrangement pattern between the initial dials 110 and 120 to generate a dependent character corresponding to the reference character, the setting unit 30 sets the rotation direction of the dial as the pattern information And may match the dependent characters corresponding to the pattern information in the setting information.

12, the setting unit 30 may be configured to correspond to at least one character included in the setting information, and may include at least one of a rotation direction, a rotation number, and a delay time And the pattern information may be included in the setting information by matching the pattern information with a character corresponding to the pattern information in the setting information for each of the pattern information.

Accordingly, the operation unit 40 generates state information according to rotation of at least one of the plurality of dials 110 and 120, and provides the state information to the determination unit 50, 50 further compares the pattern information and the state information corresponding to the character to be compared with each other when sequentially comparing the arrangement pattern between the dials and the setting information and if the character information matches all the characters according to the setting information, .

FIG. 13 is a flow chart for setting a password among the locking methods using the dial according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 13, the setting unit 30 displays a plurality of dials displaying a plurality of characters through the display unit 10 (S10).

Thereafter, the setting unit 30 selects a reference character from any one of the plurality of dials according to the user input (S20), selects one or more dependent characters corresponding to the reference character from another dial ( S30) may be generated as a character sequence together with the reference character (S40).
