(Hereinafter, referred to as a 'touch screen') in which a display unit 151 and a sensor for sensing a touch operation (hereinafter, referred to as 'touch sensor') form a mutual layer structure, It can also be used as an input device. The touch sensor may have the form of, for example, a touch film, a touch sheet, a touch pad, or the like.

The touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in a pressure applied to a specific portion of the display unit 151 or a capacitance generated in a specific portion of the display unit 151 into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor can be configured to detect not only the position and area to be touched but also the pressure at the time of touch.

If there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like.

Referring to FIG. 2, a proximity sensor 141 may be disposed in an inner region of a terminal or a proximity of the touch screen, which is enclosed by the touch screen.

The alarm unit 153 may output a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event in a form other than the video signal or the audio signal, for example, vibration. The video signal or the audio signal may be output through the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152 so that they may be classified as a part of the alarm unit 153.

The haptic module 154 generates various tactile effects that the user can feel. A typical example of the haptic effect generated by the haptic module 154 is vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibration generated by the hit module 154 can be controlled. For example, different vibrations may be synthesized and output or sequentially output.

The memory 160 may store a program for the operation of the controller 180 and temporarily store input / output data (e.g., a phone book, a message, a still image, a moving picture, etc.). The memory 160 may store data on vibration and sound of various patterns outputted when a touch is input on the touch screen. In particular, the memory 160 may store the first shot image, the second shot image, the vehicle number, and the authentication data described above.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power and internal power under the control of the controller 180 and supplies power necessary for operation of the respective components.

FIG. 3 is a view showing the relay system 200 and the service providing system 300 in more detail according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a plurality of servers included in the relay system 200 may be divided into a first system 210 and a second system 220.

The first system 210 may perform information collection, information management, and push service between the terminal 100 as a client and the service providing system 300.

To this end, the first system 210 may include a collect server 211, a file server 212, and a gateway receiver 213 (GWR, GATEWAY RECEIVER).

Although not shown in the figure, the first system 210 includes a push gateway server for push data collection and transmission, a self push server, a message server for storing content and providing a message service, An account server for service routes, and an Admin server for management functions such as services, daemons, statistics, and the like.

The collect server 211 can collect and manage the terminal information including the model information, the identification information, and the user information for the terminal 100 described above. Also, the collect server 211 can collect authentication information from the authentication data transmitted from the terminal 100. The authentication information may have various known data formats, and may be converted into a form of a transmission message such as an e-mail, SMS, or MMS. The collect server 211 can manage the client terminal 100 using the identification number, and can manage information on the client server to receive the authentication data using the application ID.

The file server 212 can identify the first captured image of the vehicle number and the second captured image of the mileage of the authentication data transmitted from the terminal 100 and store the same in the database. The captured image transmitted from the terminal 100 may be transmitted to the gateway receiver 213.

The gateway receiver 213 can receive the dispatch request of the client terminal 100. [ In response to the dispatch request, the gateway receiver 213 packetizes the authentication information and the shot image received by the collect server 211 and the file server 212 into data for transmission and transmits the packet to the second system 220 .

The second system 220 may serve as a transmission gateway for data transmission to the service providing system 300.

To this end, the second system 220 may include a transmission server 221 and a reception server 222.

The transmission server 221 can receive the packetized data according to the dispatch request from the gateway receiver 213 and deliver it to the target reception server 222. The target receiving server 222 can identify the target service providing system 300 of the packetized data and deliver the packetized data to the target service providing system 300.

In addition, the transmission server 221 may receive the message from the reception server 222 and transfer the message to the mobile communication company, and may transmit the transmission result to the reception server 222 through the communication server.

Similarly, the receiving server 222 may perform a role of receiving a message from a client and transmitting a transmission result (success or failure) to a client.

In addition, the transmission server 221 may include a plurality of transmission servers. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of transmission servers may be associated with mobile communication use calling number identification information (CID), and may help to transmit packetized data in parallel and efficiently.

Here, the packetized data may include identification information for the transmission server 221 to relay the captured image and identification information for the reception server 222 to receive the captured image. The packetized data may also include identification information for the mobile email module 310 included in the service providing system 300 itself or the service providing system 300.

Such packetized data may have a format specified according to the server-to-server communication protocol. For example, the packetized data may have a serialized message format according to the goop protocol buffer (GPB) protocol.

The packetized data may be transmitted to the target system or the mobile terminal through the Internet network, LAN, WAN, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), Public Switched Data Network (PSDN), Cable TV network, WIFI, Can be delivered to the target server.

The service providing system 300 can receive the packetized data transmitted from the receiving server 222 of the relay system 200 through the mobile electronic mail module 310 and transmit the received data to the database 320. [ And can perform the billing process as described above based on the car number and the mileage.

According to the configuration of the relay system 200, the user can easily transmit the authentication information to the insurance service provider selected using the terminal 100, and the insurance service provider manages only the service providing system 300, It is possible to perform a billing process.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of the terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, a terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention installs an application for authentication, and receives a car number and a contract number (S100).

For example, the terminal 100 can perform installation using an application for authentication from a service providing server of the service providing system 300.

To this end, the terminal 100 may receive installation information. The authentication application installation information may have a text message format in the form of SMS or MMS, and may include a vehicle number and a contract number for the mileage-based insurance service to which the user subscribes.

In addition, when the terminal 100 executes the installation using the authentication application installation information, the terminal 100 can receive the encrypted vehicle number and the contract number from the service providing server.

Then, the terminal 100 can display the vehicle number and contract number input screen when the authentication application is executed. Further, authentication can be performed by confirming the vehicle number and the contract number through user input, and comparing the vehicle number and the contract number with the previously received encrypted vehicle number and contract number.

On the other hand, when the vehicle number and the contract number are input, the terminal enters the shooting mode for the mileage authentication (S101).

The control unit 180 of the terminal 100 may display a first photographing screen for photographing the vehicle number of the vehicle through the display unit 151. [

Then, the controller 180 can operate the camera 121 according to the user input on the first photographing screen to obtain the first photographing image. The user input for shooting may include a proximity or touch touch as described above, and may include a pattern input or a gesture input.

Then, when the control unit 180 acquires the first captured image, it starts the timer (S104). Immediately after or immediately after the start of the timer, the control unit 180 can display a second photographing screen for photographing the driving distance of the vehicle.

The user can recognize the shooting time limit for authentication by referring to the timer. For example, the user can recognize that the shooting time limit for the second shot image is within 60 seconds when 60 seconds are displayed on the timer. As described above, by inducing the user to shoot the second shot image within the time limit after shooting the first shot image, the reliability of the mileage and the car number image taken by the user can be increased.

In step S119, the control unit 180 determines whether the time limit displayed on the timer has elapsed (step S105).

If the time limit has not elapsed, the control unit 180 operates the camera 121 in accordance with the user input on the second photographing screen to acquire the second photographing image (S106).

When the control unit 180 obtains the second image, the control unit 180 displays a transmission menu (S113). The user can transmit the authentication data to the relay server or the service providing server by selecting the transmission menu.

If the transmission menu is selected, the controller 180 inserts a watermark in at least one of the first captured image and the second captured image to generate authentication data (S115) and transmits the watermark to the server (S117).

Here, the transmission destination server may be any one of a relay server included in the relay system 200 or a service providing server included in the service providing system 300. The authentication data may be packetized e-mail, MMS, or SMS format in the relay system 200, and may be transmitted through any of the network networks as described above, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Here, the watermark may include a security token issued from the service providing server of the service providing system 300. Also, the control unit 180 may include the security token information necessary for verifying the security token in the authentication data. The service providing server may perform the verification using the security token information and the security token, and may transmit the failure message to the terminal 100 when the verification fails.

For example, if authentication data is received after a predetermined time since the security token is issued to the terminal 100, the service providing server may transmit a verification failure message to the terminal 100. If the controller 180 receives the failure message, the control unit 180 may display the re-imaging message again.
