The access authentication apparatus of the present invention authenticates a visitor by using an authentication code provided from a visitor terminal connected with Bluetooth, and controls to open a door only for the authenticated visitor. Moreover, the access authentication apparatus of the present invention prevents the generation of a door opening event by an unintended Bluetooth connection with an indoor visitor terminal by separately installing an indoor antenna and an outdoor antenna.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a Bluetooth access authentication method and a Bluetooth access authentication method capable of blocking an access authentication in a room by a Bluetooth connection,

The present invention relates to an access authentication device which is connected to an accessing terminal of a visitor by Bluetooth and is provided with authentication information and performs access authentication, wherein an antenna for Bluetooth is separately installed outside and inside, The present invention relates to a Bluetooth access authentication apparatus and a Bluetooth access authentication method capable of preventing an access authentication process from being performed using a Bluetooth connection.

Bluetooth was one of Ericsson's first localized communication standards developed in 1994, and is widely used for voice and data transmission. Bluetooth has several advantages over other wireless methods. Unlike wireless LAN, Bluetooth is not sensitive to walls and obstacles, so data transmission rate is high and it does not have directionality, so it does not need to maintain constant direction like TV remote control. In addition, Bluetooth has excellent security because it transmits data at several frequencies. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find products that are not supported by Bluetooth, because it is almost essential in today's portable electronic products.

Among other things, compatibility is also a major advantage of Bluetooth. Compatibility between supported devices is very good, and connection is possible by simple procedure. The two Bluetooth devices connected to each other are interconnected through a simple pairing process while performing the master and slave functions. The two paired Bluetooth devices can send and receive voice and data.

On the other hand, a door locker provided on a door or the like is controlled by an access control device. The access control device may be provided in a main body and a door lock, or may be provided in the form of a separate access control device or access control device in addition to an additional function. The access control device receives the preset authentication information from the accessing party and performs authentication for the accessing party (i.e., determines whether or not the accessing party is permitted to enter), and opens the accessing door only for the accessing party who has successfully authenticated the accessing party. To this end, the access control device may register and hold the authentication information for the accessing passengers in advance, or may be connected to a separate server for managing the authentication information through a network. In the case of connecting to the server, instead of access control by the access control device, the server may proceed with the authentication procedure. In this case, the access control device provides the authentication information input from the accessing party to the server, and the server performs the authentication process and provides the authentication result to the access control device only.

Here, the authentication methods that can be used for the passenger authentication include (1) a method of inputting a password through a button operation, a method of comparing a password with a registered password by using a magnetic card, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) ) A method of acquiring an image of a fingerprint, an iris, a vein, a face, etc. from a visitor and extracting the characteristic point and comparing with the registered characteristic point (i.e., registered authentication information) is widely used. For example, an access control apparatus using fingerprint authentication has a fingerprint sensor for reading a fingerprint of a visitor.

On the other hand, as the use of a multifunctional digital terminal (for example, a smart phone) equipped with a Bluetooth interface has been increasing recently, attempts have been made to use Bluetooth for access authentication. When the access control device needs to perform authentication for a plurality of entrants, it must always be in a waiting state for a new entrant. Accordingly, if the access control device is paired with a specific accessing party and performs the authentication process, the access control device should immediately stop pairing with the accessing party and wait for another accessing party.

In this case, the problem is that the Bluetooth interface does not have directionality while allowing connection to a certain distance. The access control device should allow Bluetooth pairing with the passenger whenever the passenger (i.e. the passenger's smartphone) is outside the door. This is because, even after the door has just been opened through authentication, the door can still be outdoors. On the other hand, the user can just enter through the authentication and attempt to pair-pair with the passenger located in the house (i.e., the smartphone of the passenger) again and authenticate the passenger again. This process may proceed without the knowledge of the guest, and as a result, the door may be opened again, even if the user does not want to.

Therefore, in order to use the Bluetooth interface for access authentication, consideration should be given to the non-directional problem of Bluetooth, and it should be possible to confirm whether the passenger is outside the door, outdoors or indoors.

1. Contactless smart digital door lock (Patent No. 10-0836366)

The present invention relates to an authentication method using a smart card connected via Bluetooth or the like However, since the smart card used here is designed to operate only at a very short distance although it is noncontact, since it uses the power provided by the door lock device, the same problems as those presented in the prior art do not occur . The problem presented in the prior art of the present invention occurs when Bluetooth pairing is possible even over a certain distance, such as a mobile phone operating as a master.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable terminal which is connected to an accessing terminal owned by an accessing person and is provided with authentication information and performs access authentication while preventing an access authentication process from being performed through an unintended Bluetooth connection with an accessing terminal located indoors And a method thereof.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an access authentication apparatus that can be connected to an access terminal through Bluetooth, including an external antenna and an internal antenna respectively installed outside and inside the door, And an antenna switching unit for switching one of the external antenna and the internal antenna to the first Bluetooth interface, and includes an authentication processing unit and a malfunction prevention unit.

The authentication processing unit performs access authentication based on the authentication information provided by the access terminal after the connection with the access terminal.

The malfunction prevention unit controls the antenna switching unit to measure the strength of a Bluetooth signal received from the access terminal in a state where the external antenna and the internal antenna are selectively connected to each other, The authentication processing unit may control the access processing unit to perform the access authentication so that the authentication can proceed if the access terminal is outside the door.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the malfunction prevention unit may request the access terminal to provide a 'data packet for received signal strength measurement' for measuring the strength of the received signal, and transmit the received data packet using the data packet received from the access terminal The intensity of the signal can be measured. Authentication information required for access authentication of the authentication processing unit may be received during a separate access authentication procedure, but may be provided in advance from the access terminal through the data packet for measuring the received signal strength. However, if the strength of the signal received through the external antenna is greater than the signal received through the internal antenna, access authentication is performed using the authentication information.

The malfunction processing unit may display an authentication rejection message on the display unit when the intensity of the signal received through the external antenna is smaller than a signal received through the internal antenna or within a predetermined threshold range. Further, even in this case, when receiving an 'access authentication request' corresponding to the authentication rejection message from the accessing party, the authentication processing unit is controlled to perform the access authentication so that a judgment error based on a change in the unauthorized wireless environment .

In the above operation, the first Bluetooth interface preferably waits for the access terminal operating in one of the master mode and the slave mode while operating in the master mode and the slave mode alternately.

When the access authentication apparatus of the present invention operates in the master mode, the malfunction prevention unit performs the received signal strength measurement operation based on the pairing information signal while receiving the pairing information from the access terminal operating as a slave, unlike the above- can do. As a result of the determination, when the strength of the signal received through the external antenna is larger than the signal received through the internal antenna, the malfunction prevention unit controls the first Bluetooth interface unit to perform the pairing procedure by providing the pairing connection request message So that the pairing and authentication can proceed when the accessing terminal is outside the door.

The access authentication method of the access authentication apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the access authentication apparatus includes a first Bluetooth interface which is connected to one of an external antenna and an internal antenna respectively installed outside and outside the door, Completing the Bluetooth pairing; Wherein the malfunction processing unit of the access authentication device measures the strength of the Bluetooth signal received from the access terminal while the external antenna is connected to the first Bluetooth interface after the pairing, Measuring an intensity of a Bluetooth signal received from the access terminal in a state of being connected to the access terminal; And an authentication processing unit of the access authentication device performs access authentication based on the authentication information provided by the access terminal when it is determined that the strength of the signal received via the external antenna is larger than the signal received via the internal antenna .

The access authentication device of the present invention can be connected to an access terminal owned by a user through Bluetooth pairing to perform an access authentication process. Therefore, the accessing party who has registered his / her access terminal in the access authentication device through the registration process in advance does not need to perform any other operation for accessing, and the accessing terminal automatically performs a series of processes such as Bluetooth connection and authentication information provision, . ≪ / RTI >

Furthermore, the access authentication device of the present invention can prevent the occurrence of an event such as a door open by access authentication by an unintended Bluetooth connection operation with an accessing terminal located in a room. To this end, the access authentication device of the present invention uses a method of measuring the intensity of the Bluetooth signal of the terminal by installing an antenna for receiving a Bluetooth signal separately from the outside and the inside of the room, thereby making a judgment error significantly.

Further, the access authentication apparatus of the present invention can operate in either a master mode or a slave mode, by operating the master mode and the slave mode at a predetermined time interval.

On the other hand, in response to an error in determining that the accessing terminal located outdoors is located in the room due to a reception intensity measurement error or the like, which may occur depending on the radio environment in the place where the access authentication apparatus is actually installed, Even if it is judged that it is already located inside or outside the room, it is possible to provide the information to the access terminal so as to allow direct control of the user.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the access authentication device 110 of the present invention performs access authentication for determining whether or not to allow a user to enter and exit, and is connected to the door lock 10 according to an embodiment, Can be controlled. Therefore, the access authentication device 110 may have the form of a door lock system or a general access controller.

The access authentication device 110 is preferably installed outdoors as shown in FIG. 2, but it is not limited thereto and may be installed indoors. The access authentication apparatus 110 performs 'access authentication' for determining whether or not the accessing party is an accessing party permitted based on 'authentication information (ID)' provided by the accessing party. The access authentication apparatus 110 includes a memory 111, a first Bluetooth interface 113, an external antenna 115, an internal antenna 117, an antenna switching unit 119 and a control unit 121. As described above, according to the embodiment, the access authentication apparatus 110 may further include a door lock driving unit 131 for controlling the door lock 10, which is embedded or connected separately.

The door lock driving unit 131 may be directly connected to the door lock 10 in the access authentication apparatus 110 to control the door lock 10. [ The door lock driving unit 131 controls the door lock 10 to open the door according to a control command (e.g., an open command) of the controller 121 and controls the door lock 10 to output a control result And provides it to the control unit 121. For example, the door lock driving unit 131 can perform control by a so-called 'contact control method' in which a specific control terminal of the door lock 10 is normally short-circuited or opened.

The memory 111 stores an identification number (Peer ID) and at least one registered authentication information for at least one accessing terminal 150 previously registered in the memory 111. In addition, various kinds of information for operating the access authentication device 110 of the present invention Data and programs can be stored. The identification number is for a registered access terminal 150 that is used for Bluetooth pairing. The registered authentication information is information for authenticating whether or not a passenger is an admitted passenger. Only when the authentication information provided from a passenger is the same as the registered authentication information, the passenger is recognized as a 'registered passenger' permitted to enter and exit. Of course, access history information of the passengers can also be stored and managed.

The first Bluetooth interface 113 transmits and receives various data between the control unit 121 and the entrance terminal 150 by PAiring with the second Bluetooth interface 151 of the access terminal 150 to be described below. The pairing procedure between the first Bluetooth interface 113 and the second Bluetooth interface 151 or the protocol at the physical layer conforms to the Bluetooth protocol already known.

If the access terminal 150 is a smart phone or other commercial portable terminal having a Bluetooth function as described below, the second Bluetooth interface 151 of the access terminal 150 may be a master or a slave Slave), the access authentication apparatus 110 must be able to operate as either a master or a slave. For example, it is preferable that the access authentication apparatus 110 alternately performs the master and slave operations alternately (e.g., at regular time intervals).

The first Bluetooth interface 113 of the present invention is connected to two antennas 115 and 117 installed on the outside and inside (or outside and inside) the door 20, respectively. 2, the external antenna 115 is installed outside the door 20, and the internal antenna 117 is installed inside the door 20. The external antenna 115 and the internal antenna 117 preferably use a directional antenna, but a general antenna having no directivity may be used.

The access authentication apparatus 110 of the present invention is configured to connect the external antenna 115 and the internal antenna 117 to the first Bluetooth interface 113 in consideration of the case where the first Bluetooth interface 113 includes one antenna channel And an antenna switching unit 119 for connection.

 The antenna switching unit 119 connects one of the external antenna 115 and the internal antenna 117 to the first Bluetooth interface 113 under the control of the malfunction prevention unit 127 described below. When the external antenna 115 is connected to the first Bluetooth interface 113, the first Bluetooth interface 113 transmits a signal transmitted by the second Bluetooth interface 151 of the access terminal 150 via the external antenna 115 . In contrast, when the internal antenna 117 is connected to the first Bluetooth interface 113, the first Bluetooth interface 113 is connected to the second Bluetooth interface 151 of the access terminal 150 via the internal antenna 117 Signal.

It is preferable that the external antenna 115 is connected to the first Bluetooth interface 113 to wait for the passengers outdoors unless the strength of the received signal described below is specifically measured using the internal antenna 117. [

The control unit 121 controls the overall operation of the access authentication apparatus 110 and specifically performs the door lock opening and closing control of the present invention including the first Bluetooth control unit 123, the authentication processing unit 125 and the malfunction prevention unit 127 do.

The first Bluetooth controller 123 controls the Bluetooth connection with the access terminal 150 using the first Bluetooth interface 113 and the authentication processor 125 controls the connection with the access terminal 150 via the Bluetooth interface Access authentication is performed based on the information.

The malfunction prevention unit 127 measures the received signal strength indication (RSSI) of the signal provided from the access terminal 150 during the Bluetooth connection with the access terminal 150 and determines whether the access terminal 150 is outdoors or indoors . The control unit 125 controls the authentication processing unit 125 not to perform the authentication process with respect to the access terminal 150 or controls the first Bluetooth control unit 123 not to attempt the pairing itself .

This method is based on the fact that the intensity of the received signal measured by the external antenna 115 and the internal antenna 117 is different depending on the position of the access terminal 150. Assuming that the access terminal 150 located in the room succeeds in entering and leaving the room, the intensity of the signal received from the accessing terminal 150 is measured using the internal antenna 117 rather than the intensity measured using the external antenna 115 The measurement is much larger. On the contrary, the intensity of the received signal measured by the access terminal 150 waiting for entrance and exit in front of the access authentication apparatus 110 is much smaller than that measured using the internal antenna 117 by using the external antenna 115. Using this point, the control unit 121 of the access authentication apparatus 110 has already entered and exiting and does not perform the authentication again with respect to the entrance terminal 150 located in the room, so that an unintended door open event occurs .

On the other hand, when the access authentication apparatus 110 includes the door lock driving unit 131, the control unit 121 may include a door lock control unit 129. The door lock control unit 129 provides the door lock driving unit 131 with a predetermined 'opening command' related to the door open event when the entrance and exit authentication is completed. The door lock driving unit 131 causes the door lock 10 Control to open the door. In addition, the door lock control unit 129 may include a predetermined door opening algorithm for the door open event to perform overall control of door opening and closing, such as whether the door is opened or closed again.

Hereinafter, the operation of the control unit 121 will be described while explaining the access authentication process of the present invention.

The access terminal 150 may be a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a smart phone or the like and may include a second Bluetooth interface 151 and a second Bluetooth controller 155 are possible. Hereinafter, the access terminal 150 will be described with reference to a case where the access terminal 150 is a so-called " smart phone " capable of mobile communication services, but a configuration essential to the description of the present invention will be mainly described. And the description thereof is omitted. Therefore, when the access terminal 150 is a smart phone, its basic wireless telephone function, wireless LAN connection function, various sensor functions, and the like are not described.

The access terminal 150 basically comprises a second Bluetooth interface 151 which can be connected to the first Bluetooth interface 113 of the access authentication apparatus 110 and a terminal control unit 153 for controlling the overall operation of the entrance terminal 150 .

The second Bluetooth interface 151 operates as a master or a slave in a Bluetooth connection with the first Bluetooth interface 113. The operating mode of the second Bluetooth interface 151 is set to either master or slave by the manufacturer unless the access terminal 150 is a dedicated terminal of the present invention. Therefore, as described above, the first Bluetooth interface 113 of the access authentication device 110 is designed to correspond to a plurality of access terminals 150 having different operation modes by alternately performing operations of the master and the slave in a predetermined time unit Need to be.

The terminal control unit 153 includes a second Bluetooth control unit 155.

Meanwhile, in terms of hardware, the terminal control unit 153 may be interpreted as a configuration specifically installed in the entrance terminal 150 for the present invention, but it is also possible to perform the main function (e.g., telephone function) of the entrance terminal 150 described above Or to use a configuration that has been established to do so.

When the terminal control unit 153 uses a configuration that is installed to perform the main function of the access terminal 150 in terms of hardware, the terminal control unit 153 controls the processor chip Chip) and an application that is software that is processed by the chip. Here, an application is software written in a programming language that can be interpreted by a computer and process a specified set of instructions. And the second Bluetooth controller 155 may be a program or a plurality of programs collected by the processor chip separately installed for the implementation of the present invention as one of the applications.

The second Bluetooth controller 155 is connected to the first Bluetooth controller 123 of the access authentication device 110 through the second Bluetooth interface 151 to perform the pairing procedure and transmits the authentication information to the access authentication device 110 The access authentication process can be performed. Also, if necessary, the second Bluetooth controller 155 can transmit the dummy packet for measuring the received signal strength of the access authentication device 110 to the access authentication device 110. For example, when the access terminal 150 operates as a master, it can transmit a 'data packet for received signal strength measurement' according to a request from the access authentication apparatus 110 after a connection with the access authentication apparatus 110. Since the strength of the signal is important for the 'data packet for measuring the received signal strength', the contents of the data may be anything but important.

Hereinafter, an access authentication process between the access authentication device 110 and the access terminal 150 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. In the following description of the Bluetooth pairing procedure and the like, even if it is described as an operation of the access terminal 150 or the access authentication device 110, the second Bluetooth controller 155 of the entrance terminal 150, It should be understood based on the operation of the first Bluetooth controller 123 of the device 110 and the operation of the first Bluetooth interface 113 and the second Bluetooth interface 151. [ The operation of the second Bluetooth controller 155 of the access terminal 150 and the operation of the first Bluetooth controller 123 of the access authentication device 110 are basically the same as those of the first Bluetooth interface 113 and the second Bluetooth interface 151, As shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 illustrates a case in which the access authentication apparatus 110 operates in the slave mode, and FIG. 4 illustrates a case in which the access authentication apparatus 110 operates in the master mode. In the Bluetooth operation mode, the access authentication apparatus 110 may operate either as a master or a slave as described above, and may alternatively select two operation modes (for example, at regular time intervals). Therefore, when the access authentication apparatus 110 operates while changing the master and slave modes at a constant time interval, the access authentication apparatus 110 may perform both the operations of FIGS.

- Embodiment 1: When the access authentication device is a slave -

Hereinafter, the operation of the access authentication apparatus 110 operating as a slave will be described based on FIG.

<Pairing process: S301 to S305>

It is preferable that the first Bluetooth interface 113 operates in connection with the external antenna 115 unless it is a measurement process of step S313 described below.

The first Bluetooth interface 113 and the second Bluetooth interface 151 perform a pairing procedure. With respect to the pairing procedure, any method according to the existing Bluetooth standard is possible. Meanwhile, since the accessing terminal 150 and the access authentication device 110 have already performed the pairing once during the passenger registration process, the procedure of transmitting and receiving an inquiry message is omitted.

In the case of the present invention, the first Bluetooth controller 123 of the access authentication device 110, which is a slave mode, periodically broadcasts pairing information for connection with the access terminal 150. Here, the pairing information includes its own identification number (Peer ID) or the like (S301).

The second Bluetooth controller 155 of the access terminal 150 operating as the master provides the pairing request message to the access authentication device 110 when the identification number received from the access authentication device 110 is the previously registered identification number do. At this time, the peering request message includes the peer ID of the access terminal 150 itself (S303).

The first Bluetooth controller 123 of the access authentication device 110 that has received the pairing request message from the accessing terminal 150 also transmits the identification number of the accessing terminal 150 included in the pairing request message provided by the accessing terminal 150 Peer ID) is already registered, the pairing procedure is performed to complete the pairing (S305).

&Lt; Measurement of received signal strength: S307 to S313 >

After the pairing is completed, the malfunction prevention unit 127 measures the RSSI of the signal received from the access terminal 150 using the external antenna 115 and the internal antenna 117. To this end, the malfunction prevention unit 127 requests the second Bluetooth control unit 155 to transmit a 'data packet for received signal measurement' (S307). In response to a request from the malfunction preventing unit 127, the second Bluetooth controller 155 continuously transmits the 'received signal measurement data packet' at a constant period (S309).

The malfunction prevention unit 127 receives the data packet through the first Bluetooth interface 113 connected to the external antenna 115 and transmits the received signal strength RSSI (S311). The malfunction prevention unit 127 controls the antenna switching unit 119 to again connect the internal antenna 117 to the first Bluetooth interface 113 and then transmits the received data packet The strength is measured again (S313).

After the S311 and S313, the malfunction prevention unit 127 may request the second Bluetooth control unit 155 to terminate the transmission of the 'data packet for received signal measurement'. If the second Bluetooth control unit 155 receives a predetermined time, The transmission of the received signal measurement data packet 'may be terminated by itself.

After the measurement through the internal antenna 117, the malfunction prevention unit 127 causes the antenna switching unit 119 to recover the external antenna 115 to be connected to the first Bluetooth interface 113. 3, the internal antenna 117 is connected after the external antenna 115 is connected, but the order may be changed. However, it is preferable that the external antenna 115 is set as a basic antenna, so that measurement through the external antenna 115 is preferably performed first.

&Lt; comparison judgment of received signal strength: S315 >

The malfunction prevention unit 127 determines the size of the RSSI (hereinafter referred to as RSSI-1) measured through the external antenna 115 in step S311 and the RSSI (hereinafter referred to as RSS-2) measured through the internal antenna 117 in step S313 And judges that the entrance terminal 150 is located outside the entrance door 20, that is, outside the house, when the RSSI-1 is larger than RSSI-2.

When the RSSI-1 is smaller than the RSSI-2, it is determined that the entrance terminal 150 is positioned inside the door 20, that is, indoors, and when the size difference between RSSI-1 and RSSI- The determination in step S315 is regarded as Fail. In other words, only when the RSSI-1 is larger than the RSSI-2 by the critical range, the access terminal 150 is determined to be located outside the door 20 and performs the original authentication procedure.

&Lt; S315 Performing the authentication procedure according to judgment OK: S317, S319 >

If it is determined in step S315 that the RSSI-1 is larger than the RSSI-2 by more than the threshold range, the malfunction prevention unit 127 determines that the access terminal 150 is located outdoors and requests the authentication processing unit 125 to perform normal access And controls to continue the authentication procedure.

Accordingly, the second Bluetooth controller 155 of the access terminal 150 provides its own authentication information to the access authentication apparatus 110, and the authentication processing unit 125 can perform access authentication based on the authentication information (S317). When the access authentication procedure is completed, the pairing between the access authentication device 110 and the access terminal 150 is terminated (S319).

The access authentication procedure and the processing therefor can use various methods known in the art. For example, when the access authentication is completed, the door lock control unit 129 can provide the entrance completion information to the access terminal 150 and allow the door lock driving unit 131 to open the door. If the access authentication fails, the access terminal 150 provides a message regarding access authentication failure. At this time, the accessing terminal 150 can display the fact that the entrance / exit authentication has failed to the accessing person through a display unit (not shown) or the like.

&Lt; S315 Authentication refusal due to judgment fail: S321 >

If it is determined in step S315 that the RSSI-1 is not larger than the RSSI-2 by more than the threshold range, the malfunction prevention unit 127 rejects the authentication procedure for the access terminal 150. That is, the malfunction prevention unit 127 controls the authentication processing unit 125 not to perform the access authentication procedure. The pairing between the access authentication device 110 and the access terminal 150 is also ended.

The authentication processing unit 125 can provide the accessing terminal 150 with an 'authentication rejection according to the indoor location' message. According to the embodiment, the second Bluetooth controller 155 of the access terminal 150 may not display the authentication rejection according to the indoor position to the user.

Meanwhile, according to the embodiment, even if the determination in step S315 is Fail, the malfunction prevention unit 127 can perform the procedure related to the "authentication rejection exit" without directly performing the authentication rejection process. For example, the malfunction prevention unit 127 displays a guide message for confirming whether or not the access authentication request is requested through a display unit (not shown) of the access authentication apparatus 110 located outdoors for a predetermined time (for example, several seconds) Access authentication request '. Since the passenger located in the room can not see the corresponding message, the 'authentication rejection' procedure is continued if the passenger does not input the 'entrance authentication request' (button operation, entrance terminal operation, or the like) If there is an intention to enter / exit within a predetermined time, the flow advances to step S317 to perform the access authentication procedure.

In this way, access authentication of the access authentication device 110 of the present invention operating in the slave mode is performed. Meanwhile, the method of FIG. 3 can be applied as it is even when the access authentication apparatus 110 operates in the master mode. This is explained below again.

3, according to the method, while the pairing is completed and the procedure of S307 to S313 is in progress, the second Bluetooth controller 155 of the access terminal 150 transmits its authentication information to the 'reception signal measurement Quot; data packet &quot; However, even if the authentication processing unit 125 receives the authentication information, the authentication processing unit 125 may wait for the determination result of the malfunction prevention unit 127 and continue the access authentication procedure.

- Embodiment 2: When the access authentication device is a master -

Hereinafter, the access authentication method when the access authentication device 110 operates as a master will be described with reference to FIG.

&Lt; Waiting for reception of the pairing information: S401 and S403 >

The access authentication apparatus 110 operating as a master should wait for receiving the pairing information from the entrance terminal 150 operating as a slave (S401). The accessing terminal 150 operating as a slave periodically broadcasts its own pairing information to access the access authentication device 110 for accessing and finally the access authentication device 110 receives the pairing information at step S403 ).

At this time, either the external antenna 115 or the internal antenna 117 may be connected to the first Bluetooth interface 113, but in the standby state, it is preferable that the external antenna 115 is connected to wait for an outside access.

&Lt; Measurement of received signal strength: S405, S407 >

When the first Bluetooth interface 113 starts receiving the pairing information from the entrance terminal 150, the malfunction prevention unit 127 prevents the malfunction prevention unit 127 from using the external antenna 115 and the internal antenna 117, (RSSI) of the pairing information signal received from the terminal 150 is measured.

First, the malfunction prevention unit 127 controls the antenna switching unit 119 to connect the external antenna 115 to the first Bluetooth interface 113, and then measures the RSSI-1 of the received signal. If the external antenna 115 is already connected, RSSI-1 can be measured immediately (S405). After S405, the malfunction prevention unit 127 controls the antenna switching unit 119 to connect the internal antenna 117 to the first Bluetooth interface 113 again, and then transmits the RSSI-2 of the received signal again (S407).

After the measurement through the internal antenna 117, the malfunction prevention unit 127 causes the antenna switching unit 119 to recover the external antenna 115 to be connected to the first Bluetooth interface 113. 4, the internal antenna 117 is connected after the external antenna 115 is connected, but the order may be changed. However, it is preferable that the external antenna 115 is set as a basic antenna, so that measurement through the external antenna 115 is preferably performed first.

&Lt; Determination of the received signal strength comparison: S409 >

The malfunction prevention unit 127 compares the sizes of the RSSI-1 and RSS-2 measured in steps S405 and S407 and determines whether the entrance terminal 150 is located outside the door 20 As shown in FIG. The judgment here is the same as the judgment in the above-described step S315.

Accordingly, when the RSSI-1 is smaller than the RSSI-2, it is determined that the entrance terminal 150 is located inside the door 20, and when the size difference between RSSI-1 and RSSI-2 is less than a predetermined threshold range The determination in step S315 is processed as Fail. In other words, only when the RSSI-1 is larger than the RSSI-2 by more than the threshold range, the access terminal 150 determines that the access terminal 150 is located outside the door 20 and tries to pair with the entrance terminal 150, Procedure.

&Lt; S409 Performing pairing according to judgment OK: S411 to S413 >

If it is determined in step S409 that the RSSI-1 is larger than the RSSI-2 by more than the threshold range, the first Bluetooth controller 123 transmits a pairing connection request message to the access terminal 150 (S411) The second Bluetooth controller 155 of the mobile communication terminal 100 proceeds to step S413. The pairing method is the same as that of steps S303 and S305 of FIG. 3 except that only the master and the slave are changed.

<Performing authentication procedure after pairing: S415 to S417>

When the pairing between the first Bluetooth interface 113 and the second Bluetooth interface 151 is completed, the authentication processing unit 125 performs the authentication procedure in the same manner as described in step S317. When the authentication procedure is completed, (S417)

When the authentication is completed, the door lock control unit 129 can cause the door lock driving unit 131 to open the door. If the access authentication fails, the authentication processing unit 125 provides the accessing terminal 150, which is in the process of pairing, with a message regarding access authentication failure. At this time, the accessing terminal 150 can display the fact that the entrance / exit authentication has failed to the accessing person through a display unit (not shown) or the like.

&Lt; Rejecting pairing due to judgment S409 Fail: S419>

If it is determined in step S409 that the RSSI-1 is larger than the RSSI-2 by more than the threshold range, the access terminal 150 ignores the pairing information provided by the access terminal 150 and does not perform the pairing procedure. The access authentication apparatus 110 may proceed with the refusal procedure in the existing Bluetooth protocol in connection with refusal of pairing.

The first Bluetooth controller 123 can not provide the entrance party 150 with various guidance information related to refusal of pairing because the first bluetooth controller 123 can not provide the guide information through the display unit (not shown) of the access authentication apparatus 110, Quot; message. &Lt; / RTI &gt; Even in this case, if an access request is received from a visitor within a predetermined time, the pairing process can be performed.

- Example 3; Another example in which the access authentication device is in master mode -

When the access authentication device 110 operates as a master, the method of FIG. 4 suggests a method of measuring and comparing RSSI before performing the pairing procedure. The method of FIG. 4 is inconvenient that the present situation is not provided to the passenger at all when the pairing with the entrance terminal 150 outside the door 20 is rejected due to an unexpected error such as a change of the wireless environment Can be.

Alternatively, even if the access authentication apparatus 110 operates as a master, a method of requesting the access terminal 150 for 'measurement data packet' after performing the pairing procedure as shown in FIG. 3 may be used. 3, it is assumed that the access terminal 150 first provides the pairing information in place of the access authentication apparatus 110 in the pairing process, and the access authentication apparatus 110 sends a pairing connection request message to the entrance terminal 150 Only difference is in point. This embodiment is advantageous in that it can provide information on the current progress to the visitor terminal 150 because it is paired with the visitor terminal 150 once.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
