Description
The present invention relates to the Internet of things.
Internet of things (IoT) is an expression that collectively refers to the concept of providing various services by giving data processing function and communication function to objects and utilizing data collected from objects.
Though Internet technology will be understood as sensor network technology in terms of how to connect things, it will be understood as service platform technology in terms of connecting things to provide services.
Although the Internet has not yet been established as a standard for the service platform, there are a number of industries including Apple's iBeacon, Google's Physical Web and EddyStone, Intel and Samsung's Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) Many technologies, such as AllJoyn from AllSeen Alliance, which is led by Qualcomm, are competing to take the lead.
These service platforms have their own individual advantages, such as OICs, all-joins, etc., which are required to be communicated between object Internet devices, servers and personal terminals, or to legacy devices, If a producer-centric approach to defining vertical and horizontal connectivity standards is employed, then an ibicone or a physical app will be able to determine whether each object broadcasts only a certain number of beacon signals, and if the individual terminal is based on the form and content of the beacon signal Oriented approach that enables the use of designated services.
While the former platforms are currently being established, the latter platforms use the Advertising mode of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard, for example, to allow objects to broadcast beacon signals It can be implemented relatively easily at the present time.
The BLE wireless beacon dispatching devices support a connectable mode so that an administrator can set beacon signal period, output, identification information, mounting data, etc. by wire or wireless. The administrator can set various setting values of the BLE wireless beacon dispatching devices by inputting a predetermined command through a dedicated application or software after pairing the appropriate smart device or PC with the wireless beacon dispatching device or connecting it by wire.
In addition, when the administrator sets up the wireless beacon dispatching devices and starts the advertisement according to the set values, in order to prevent DoS (Denial of Service) attack, abusing third party, and power consumption, Devices can be changed to non-connectable mode.
In the computer field, a service is a term collectively referred to as a function provided by a server, and collectively referred to as a function performed when a client desires. According to the Bluetooth Core Specification, the services specified in the Bluetooth specification are each given a service Universal Unique IDentification (UUID), which is a unique identifier. In the Bluetooth specification, a service UUID is divided into a 16-bit service UUID, a 32-bit service UUID, and a global 128-bit service UUID, wherein 16-bit service UUID and 32-bit service UUID are service UUIDs assigned to services specified in the Bluetooth specification.
A 128-bit service UUID can be created in a non-redundant manner, for example, according to the ISO-11578 standard, and can be assigned to a custom service related to a personally defined object Internet. 128 - bit UUIDs are practically unique, since 2 ^ 128 (about 3.4 * 10 ^ 38) combinations are possible.
On the other hand, in an ibicone or a physical web platform using a Bluetooth LE-based beacon device, an administrator must set the beacon signal period, output, identification information, mounting data, and the like in the wireless beacon dispatch device. It is treated as a type of service, and each service UUID can be assigned.
For example, the Eddiston-URL configuration service on the physical web platform has a 128-bit service UUID assigned as ee0c2080-8786-40ba-ab96-99b91ac981d8, and is used for locking state reporting, locking, unlocking, Services such as URI data write / read, URI flag write / read, output level write / read, output mode write / read, beacon cycle write / And a service UUID that is created by changing up to 89.
In the case of the ibicon platform, the service UUIDs of these configuration services are not specified in the specification, but they are different according to each maker or product model. For example, Beaconinside may use f0010200-f001-f001-f001-f001f001f001 Of 128-bit service UUID.
In the case of mass management of wireless beacon dispatch devices in the field, it is of course convenient for such same manufacturer products to have the same service UUIDs in the same service, but instead, a malicious third party may exploit the service UUID to transmit the wireless beacon dispatcher The risk of arbitrarily resetting also increases. For example, a hacker may hack an Ediston beacon device installed at a bus stop and manipulate to broadcast a URL with malicious code using the service UUID described above. To prevent this, security measures such as encryption and password must be provided between the beacon device and the administrator terminal.
However, since the Internet platforms of things are open platforms, various beacon makers supply their products to the market, so when administrators manage beacon-based Internet infrastructures over a long period of time, they can use various models of beacons Maintenance may be required. In this case, the administrator must have various dedicated manager apps of various makers or dedicated manager terminals, and inconvenience of maintaining different security measures according to individual companies or models.

For the embodiments of the invention disclosed herein, specific structural and functional descriptions are set forth for the purpose of describing an embodiment of the invention only, and it is to be understood that the embodiments of the invention may be practiced in various forms, The present invention should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described in Figs.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used for the same constituent elements in the drawings and redundant explanations for the same constituent elements are omitted.

Referring to FIG. 1, the
The wireless beacon device 11 operates in a non-connectorable mode, which is not connected to another external device, for example, and performs only a predetermined operation, or in a connectorable mode, which may be connected to another external device or perform predetermined operations, Particularly, in non-connector mode, it is possible to operate in an advertising mode in which a beacon signal having a predetermined mounting message and a device identifier is transmitted according to a predetermined transmission condition.
The wireless beacon device 11 is in a state where the beacon setting service identifier, for example, a beacon setting service UUID (Universal Unique Identifier) is not known to the administrator terminal 12 when the wireless beacon device 11 is initially deployed in the field. That is, the wireless beacon device 11 may be arbitrarily allocated a beacon setting service identifier before it is placed in the field, and may store it in a service identifier storage file, for example, GATT.xml.
Here, the beacon setting service identifier collectively refers to service identifiers for specifying various kinds of services related to beacon setting. For example, the beacon setting service identifier may be a beacon set lock (write disable) status report, lock, unlock, mount data write / read, flag write / read, output level write / Read, beacon period write / read, reset, and services related to scan requests and scan responses, depending on the context of the embodiment.
In general, the wireless beacon device 11 parses a command input from the administrator terminal 12 having a proper authority, and if the service identifier parsed in the command is found in the service identifier storage file, Lt; / RTI >
Conventionally, wireless beacon devices store a beacon setting service identifier designated in accordance with a manufacturer, model, or platform specification in a factory setting in a service identifier storage file. Thus, wireless beacons of the same manufacturer, same model, same firmware, or the same platform specification all have the same beacon configuration service identifier.
Thus, for those skilled in the relevant art, the beacon configuration service identifiers of conventional wireless beacon devices are virtually public.
On the other hand, in the wireless beacon apparatus 11 of the present invention, the beacon setting service identifier is not allocated according to the maker, model or platform specification but is arbitrarily allocated and distributed at the beginning, and the manager terminal 12, The beacon setting service identifier allocated to the wireless beacon device 11 is acquired and used for setting the beacon by accessing the server 13 so that the third party can not know the beacon setting service identifier stored in the specific wireless beacon device 11 , Or at least not easily noticeable.
Depending on the embodiment, the beacon configuration service identifier may be an identifier unique to the individual wireless beacon device 11. [
According to an embodiment, the beacon set-up service identifier comprises wireless beacon devices 11 distributed in a specific area, wireless beacon devices 11 performing a specific function, or wireless beacons 11 managed by a specific manager or a specific customer And thus may be an individual domain, an individual function, an identifier unique to the individual manager or client company.
The wireless beacon device 11 may include a terminal connection unit 111, a service identifier storage unit 112, a beacon setting unit 113 and a beacon generating unit 114. [
The terminal connection unit 111 can be connected to the administrator terminal 12 having a proper authority when the wireless beacon apparatus 11 is in the connectable mode. For example, the terminal connection unit 111 authenticates the authority of the administrator terminal 12 through an authentication means such as a predetermined password-based, encryption-based, or AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accouting) connection.
In addition, the terminal connection unit 111 can transmit a scan response signal (Scan Response) in a predetermined format in response to a scan request signal (Scan Request) received from the outside.
According to an embodiment, the scan response signal may comprise a device identifier.
The service identifier storage unit 112 collects and stores service identifiers in a predetermined storage. The beacon setting service identifier transmitted from the administrator terminal 12 is also stored in the predetermined storage, for example, a Bluetooth LE standard wireless beacon device You can save it in GATT.xml. In this storage file, service identifiers and service operations may be defined in a markup language in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
Upon receiving a setup command signal from the administrator terminal 12 through the terminal connection unit 111, the beacon setting unit 113 parses the setup command signal and extracts the service ID included in the setup command signal. The beacon setting unit 113 compares the extracted service identifier with the beacon setting service identifier stored in the service identifier storage unit 112 and sets a transmission condition or a mounting message of a defined service, that is, a beacon signal, Service.
When the setting of the beacon signal is completed, the administrator terminal 12 can switch the wireless beacon device 11 to broadcast the beacon signal in the unconnectable mode, that is, to enter the advertising mode.
Accordingly, the beacon generating unit 114 can generate a beacon signal according to the set sending condition or the mounted message.
The manager terminal 12 identifies the wireless beacon device 11 and requests the beacon management server 13 to provide a beacon setting service identifier for the wireless beacon device 12, for example a beacon setting service UUID, The wireless beacon device 11 can be set using the beacon setting service provider provided from the management server 13. [
Specifically, the administrator terminal 12 may include a terminal registration request unit 121, a service identifier management unit 122, and a beacon setting control unit 123.
The terminal registration requesting unit 121 requests the administrator terminal 12 or the wireless beacon apparatus 11 to access the beacon management server 13 in order to obtain a proper right for connection to the wireless beacon apparatus 11 and setting of a beacon signal. Registration or deletion may be requested.
The terminal registration request unit 121 must first acquire the device identifier of the nearby wireless beacon device 11 in order to register the wireless beacon device 11. [
According to the embodiment, the terminal registration requesting unit 121 can receive the beacon signal transmitted by the wireless beacon device 11 including the device identifier in the ad- verging mode, and extract the device identifier from the beacon signal .
The terminal registration request unit 121 may request the beacon management server 13 for a beacon setting service identifier for the wireless beacon apparatus 11 based on the device identifier extracted from the beacon signal. In this case, the beacon management server 13 will search for the beacon setting service identifier linked to the device identifier and provide it to the administrator terminal 12. [ Here, the association with the device identifier can be understood to mean that the beacon setting service identifier is uniquely assigned to each wireless beacon device 11.
The terminal registration requesting unit 121 of the administrator terminal 12 requests the beacon setting service identifier from the beacon management server 13 based on the manager identifier instead of the device identifier of the wireless beacon device 11 . In this case, the beacon management server 13 will search for the beacon setting service identifier linked to the manager identifier and provide it to the manager terminal 12. The beacon setting service identifier is uniquely assigned to each individual manager or each manager terminal 12 so that a plurality of wireless beacon devices 11 managed by individual managers are all assigned to the same beacon setting service It can be understood that the beacon setting operation can be performed with the identifiers.
The terminal registration request unit 121 of the administrator terminal 12 may transmit a scan request signal to the neighboring wireless beacon devices 11 to listen first instead of listening to the beacon signal.
When the surrounding wireless beacon devices 11 transmit a scan response signal in response to the scan request signal, the terminal registration request part 121 transmits the scan response signal to the beacon management server 13 based on the scan response signal, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > beacon < / RTI >
The service configurator management unit 122 may request the beacon management server 13 to provide a beacon setting service identifier for the wireless beacon apparatus 11 and store the beacon setting service identifier provided from the beacon management server 13.
The beacon setting control unit 123 may generate a setting command signal for setting the wireless beacon apparatus 11 using the beacon setting service identifier provided from the beacon management server 13 and transmit the setting command signal to the wireless beacon apparatus 11. [ The setting command signal is generated so as to include the sending condition of the beacon signal instructed by the manager and the service identifier related to the setting of the mounting message.
The beacon management server 13 may provide the beacon setting service identifier for the wireless beacon device 11 to the administrator terminal 12 in response to the request from the administrator terminal 12. [
To this end, the beacon management server 13 may include a device registration unit 131, a service identifier search unit 132, and a service identifier issue database (DB) 133.
The device registration unit 131 processes registration or deletion of the administrator terminal 12 or the wireless beacon device 11 when the registration or deletion of the administrator terminal 12 or the wireless beacon device 11 is requested from the administrator terminal 12 can do.
Registration of the wireless beacon device 11 may mean that the beacon setting service identifier is unique for each wireless beacon device 11 and its use history can be tracked.
The registration of the administrator terminal 12 may mean that the beacon setting service identifier is unique for each area or function managed by the manager for each manager and that the use history is tracked and that the administrator terminal 12 or the manager It can encompass the operation of granting legitimate rights.
On the other hand, the registration deletion of the wireless beacon device 11 can be performed when the battery remaining amount of the wireless beacon device 11 becomes exhausted or the wireless beacon device 11 fails.
The service identifier search unit 132 is configured to determine whether the beacon setting service identifier of the wireless beacon apparatus 11 is to be provided from the manager terminal 12 in response to the request, ), And provide the searched beacon setting service identifier to the administrator terminal 12.
The service
For example, the beacon management server 13 stores the beacon setting service identifier provided to the administrator terminal 12 and the device identifier or the manager identifier of the wireless beacon device 11 together in the service identifier issuing database (DB) It can track the history of which wireless beacon device or which manager it was provided for.
The beacon management server 13 may be implemented only by the administrators of the wireless beacon apparatus 11 or the server 13 controlled by the client company. However, as illustrated in FIG. 1, The different manufacturers that manufacture may also be connected to
