The server 300 receives the image generated from the DID 200 and stores the image. The server 300 transmits the image received from the DID 200 to the terminal 100 when the terminal 100 accesses the server 200 and requests the image received from the DID 200 ).

2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a DID according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The DID 200 includes a camera unit 210, an illumination unit 220, a motion sensor unit 230, an optical sensor unit 240, a timer unit 250, a control unit 260, an image storage unit 270, An NFC unit 280, and a communication unit 290.

The camera section 210 includes an image generating apparatus for generating an image. For this purpose, the camera unit may include an image generating device using a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), and various other image generating devices.

The illumination unit 220 includes a plurality of illumination devices, and illuminates the user when generating an image of the user. Here, the plurality of illuminating devices included in the illuminating unit 220 are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined interval, and each illuminating device includes an illuminating angle adjusting device capable of adjusting the illuminating angle. Here, the illumination angle adjusting device can be realized by using an angle adjusting device using a conventional gear device.

The motion sensor unit 230 is a sensor that senses the motion of the user, and can detect the continuous motion of the user.

The optical sensor unit 240 is a sensor for sensing the brightness of the surroundings. In addition, the optical sensor unit 240 of the present invention can sense the brightness of the illuminated light of the user through the illuminating unit 220.

The timer unit 250 includes a timer device.

The control unit 260 generates an image through the camera unit 210 and generates communication channel NDEF (NFC Data Exchange Format) data including information for communication connection with the AT 100. [ When the generated communication channel NDEF data is tagged with the terminal, NFC unit 280 controls the terminal to transmit the NDEF data to terminal 100.

When the communication channel is connected between the terminal 100 and the DID 200, the control unit 260 controls the terminal 100 to transmit the generated image. For this purpose, when the terminal 100 receives the communication channel NDEF data from the DID 200 and the terminal NFC unit performing the NFC communication with the DID 200, the terminal 100 automatically sets the communication channel with the DID 200, And a control unit. In addition, when receiving the NDEF data including the address of the server from the DID 200, the terminal 100 analyzes the received NDEF data to find out the connection address of the server and accesses the server 300, May be downloaded.

When the image generated by the DID 200 is transmitted to the server 300, the control unit 260 controls the server 300 to transmit the generated image to the server 300, Address to NDEF data and transmits the generated NDEF data to the terminal 100.

In addition, the controller 260 controls the illumination unit 220 so that the illumination illuminated to the user is optimally illuminated in consideration of the brightness of the surroundings of the DID 200, so that the user image can be generated in an optimum state .

That is, the control unit 260 controls the brightness and the illumination angle of each illumination device included in the illumination unit 220 in consideration of the brightness of the surroundings of the DID 200, so that the illumination illuminated to the user is optimized. . For example, when the periphery of the DID 200 is a dark night, a brighter light may be illuminated so that a user's image is sharp and generated. In the case where the periphery of the DID 200 is bright, The backlight correction illumination is generated and displayed to the user to prevent the image from being generated unclearly. For this purpose, the control unit 260 can grasp the brightness of the surroundings of the DID 200 and the illumination state of the user through the optical sensor unit 240, so that the optimal illumination state can be obtained.

That is, the control unit 260 analyzes the image generated without the illumination correction through the camera unit 210, and analyzes and sets illumination information for generating an optimal image.

For this, the controller 260 analyzes brightness information such as brightness and saturation of the generated image and analyzes whether the outline of the face of the user (person) or the outline of the background appears clearly. And sets optimal illumination information so that the user's image can be clearly displayed. Herein, the optimal illumination information refers to information for controlling the illumination unit 220 so that the image of the user generated through the DID 200 is displayed most clearly and clearly.
