For example, the processor 870 may be configured to determine whether the vehicle is running, a situation where the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed or higher, a situation where the vehicle is traveling on a curve road, a situation where the vehicle is traveling on an uphill / downhill road, It can be determined that the driver can not use the hand as an authentication means in the vehicle.

The situation in which the driver can not use his or her hand as the authentication means may be determined by the processor 870 based on the image received through the internal camera of the sensing unit 820, (Or a change in position).

In addition, the processor 870 may first determine whether an operation (function) requiring authentication is requested before determining the situation. For example, the operation requiring authentication may include payment (or an operation requiring payment and payment) or outputting (or receiving from an external server) content requiring authentication.

The processor 870 may determine whether the driver can use his / her hand as an authentication means when the operation requiring authentication is sensed.

In a case where the driver can use the hand as the authentication means, for example, it may be a situation in which the vehicle does not need to be driven (for example, a state in which parking is completed, etc.) when the vehicle is stopped.

In this case, the processor 870 can perform the authentication process by using the hand (for example, password, secret pattern, fingerprint recognition) if the operation requiring authentication is requested and the driver can use the hand as the authentication means Authentication can be performed.

On the other hand, the processor 870 can request any text to be used for authentication with the external server if an operation requiring authentication is requested and the driver can not use his / her hand as an authentication means.

The processor 870 can receive arbitrary text to be used for authentication from the external server based on the situation that the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means (hereinafter, referred to as the situation) (S920) .

The processor 870 transmits a request for performing authentication using an operator's voice to an external server, and the external server 1100 can transmit arbitrary text to the vehicle controller 800 based on the request.

The arbitrary text may be a randomly generated text, and may have the form of a word or a sentence. The arbitrary text may be named as a sample word (sample sentence) or a random word (random sentence).

Thereafter, the processor 870 can output the received text (any text) through the output unit 830. The text may be displayed on the display unit, or may be output as sound through the sound output unit.

The processor 870 can receive the driver's voice corresponding to the text through the input unit 840 while the received text is being output (or for a certain period of time). For example, the input unit 840 may include a microphone (or a microphone), and the microphone may be provided inside the vehicle.

The processor 870 can perform authentication based on the received driver's voice corresponding to the text while the received text is output (S930).

Specifically, the processor 870 outputs the received text through the output unit 830, analyzes the driver's voice received through the input unit 840 while the received text is being output, It can be determined whether or not it corresponds to the text.

If the driver's voice corresponds to the text, the processor 870 may determine that the authentication was successful. On the other hand, if the driver's voice does not correspond to the text, the processor 870 may determine that the authentication failed.

Referring to FIG. 10, the vehicle control apparatus 800 can request an arbitrary text to the external server 1100 when an operation requiring recognition is requested and a situation in which the driver can not use the hand is sensed.

The external server 800 can transmit any text (e.g., a sample word) valid for a predetermined time to the vehicle control device 800 based on the request.

Specifically, the external server 800 may transmit arbitrary text valid for a predetermined time to the vehicle controller, and may transmit new arbitrary text to the vehicle controller when the predetermined time elapses.

That is, the processor 870 can receive different texts from the external server through the communication unit 810 at predetermined time intervals.

Specifically, the processor 870 outputs the first text received at the external server through the output 830 for a first time (or first time interval), and the first time (first time interval) And output the second text, which is different from the first text, received from the external server during the second time (or second time interval) after the elapse of the first text.

The processor 870 can determine that authentication has failed if the user's voice corresponding to the first text is received while the second text is being output. If the user's voice corresponding to the second text is received while the second text is being output, the processor 870 can determine that the authentication is successful.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to guarantee real-time performance of OTP authentication by outputting different arbitrary texts at predetermined time intervals.

The processor 870 may output the arbitrary text through an output unit and may determine whether the driver's voice corresponds to the text when the voice of the driver 1000 is received through the input while the text is being output have.

The processor 870 may determine that the authentication is successful if the text displayed for the predetermined time matches the driver's voice received while the text is output. In this case, the subject of authentication may be vehicle control device 800 (or processor 870).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, when the driver's voice is received while the arbitrary text is output for the predetermined time, the processor 870 transmits information related to the received driver's voice to the external server (1100).

The information related to the driver's voice may include driver's voice, text information obtained by converting the driver's voice into text, characteristics (e.g., frequency, pattern, etc.) of the driver's voice) and the like.

The external server 1100 may acquire the driver's voice generated in the vehicle based on the information related to the driver's voice and determine whether the driver's voice and any text transmitted to the vehicle control device are the same .

Thereafter, the external server 1100 can determine that the authentication is successful if the driver's voice and the arbitrary text are the same. In this case, the subject of authentication may be the external server 1100. [

Through such a configuration, the present invention provides an authentication method capable of randomly generating arbitrary texts in an external server and delivering the text to a vehicle, and allowing the driver to perform authentication by speaking .

In addition, according to the present invention, when an authentication request is made from an external server, random text is generated and transmitted to a vehicle and an immediate response is given to a driver to guarantee real-time performance and to solve security / malfunction problems using recorded voice have.

11 is a flowchart showing a case in which a vehicle enters one of the situations in which a driver can not use his or her hand as an authentication means according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the processor 870 may detect a situation in which the driver can not use his or her hand as an authentication means in the vehicle (e.g., entering an area (drive through) in the vehicle) (S1102).

For example, when an order command (user voice) is received from a driver after entering an ordering area in the vehicle, the processor 870 can transmit the order command to the external server 1100 through the communication unit 810 (S1104).

The external server 1100 analyzes (analyzes) the received order command (S1106) and generates a payment word / sentence to be used for settlement (S1108). The external server 1100 can transmit the payment word / sentence to the vehicle control device.

Here, the payment word / sentence used for settlement may mean any text to be used for the authentication described above.

The processor 870 of the vehicle control apparatus 800 can output the received payment word / sentence (arbitrary text) through the output unit. In addition, the processor 870 may receive the driver's voice received while the payment word / sentence is output through the input unit 840 (S1110).

The processor 870 can transmit the driver's voice (or information related to the driver's voice) received through the input unit 840 to the external server 1100 through the communication unit 810. [

The external server 1100 can compare the received driver's voice with the payment word / sentence (arbitrary text) transmitted to the vehicle controller (S1112).

Thereafter, the external server 1100 determines that the authentication is successful when the driver's voice and the word / sentence for settlement match (S1114). If the driver's voice and the word / word for payment do not match, It can be determined to be unsuccessful (S1116).

The external server can transmit different texts to the vehicle control device at predetermined time intervals.

Specifically, the external server transmits the first text to the vehicle control device for a first time (or first time interval), and for a second time (or a second time interval) after the first time has elapsed And transmit the second text different from the first text to the vehicle control device.

The external server 1100 may determine that authentication has failed when the user voice corresponding to the first text is received from the vehicle control device for the second time after transmitting the second text. If the user voice corresponding to the second text is received from the vehicle control device 800 during the second time after transmitting the second text, the external server 1100 can determine that the authentication is successful.

11 is a flowchart showing the external server 1100 performing authentication as a subject of authentication, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in step S1110, when the user's voice is received while the payment word / sentence is being output, the processor 870 can compare whether the user's voice and the payment word / sentence match. That is, the subject of authentication may be the processor 870. [

In addition, the processor 870 can transmit information related to the success or failure of authentication to the external server 1100 through the communication unit 810. [

Meanwhile, the present invention can perform authentication using an irreversible frequency signal having an irreversible frequency as well as an arbitrary text changed every predetermined time.

Hereinafter, an authentication method using an irreversible frequency signal will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are a conceptual diagram and a flowchart for explaining an authentication method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, the processor 870 can sense a situation in which the driver can not use his or her hand as an authentication means through the sensing unit 820. FIG.

The processor 870 can receive the irreversible frequency signal from the external server 1100 through the communication unit 810 based on the above situation.

At this time, the processor 870 can receive the irreversible frequency signal from the external server through the communication unit 810 based on the predetermined condition being satisfied.

The predetermined condition is a condition corresponding to a situation in which authentication by the driver's voice is difficult. For example, the predetermined condition may be a situation in which the driver is unable to speak (for example, drinking a beverage or conversing with a passenger) And if the size is greater than a certain size (i.e., noisy).

The processor 870 controls the operation of the sensor 870 in a case where the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means through the sensing unit 820 and the predetermined condition (for example, ), It is possible to perform the authentication process using the irreversible frequency.

That is, the processor 870 requests the external server via the communication unit 810 to transmit the irreversible frequency signal to the external server through the sensing unit 820 when the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means, And can receive the irreversible frequency signal from the external server.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the processor 870 can perform the authentication using the irreversible frequency signal even if only the situation where the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means.

Specifically, the processor 870 may request the external server 1100 to transmit the irreversible frequency signal to be used for authentication through the communication unit 810 when the situation is sensed. The external server 1100 may transmit the irreversible frequency signal to the vehicle control device 800 based on the request.

At this time, the irreversible frequency signal may be a signal effective only for a predetermined time, like the arbitrary text described above. Further, the external server 1100 can transmit different irreversible frequency signals to the vehicle control device 800 at predetermined time intervals.

That is, the processor 870 can receive different irreversible frequency signals from the external server 1100 through the communication unit 810 at predetermined time intervals.

For example, the processor 870 may receive a first irreversible frequency signal for a first time period and, when the first time period elapses, transmit a second irreversible frequency signal different from the first irreversible frequency signal from an external server for a second time period Signal can be received.

The processor 870 may output the irreversible frequency signal through the output unit 830 to perform authentication using the received irreversible frequency signal.

For example, the processor 870 may output the irreversible frequency signal so that the irreversible frequency signal is transmitted to a receiver located within a predetermined distance from the vehicle.

In this case, the vehicle control apparatus 800 can output the irreversible frequency signal to the outside of the vehicle so that the irreversible frequency signal transmitted from the external server is transmitted to the receiver existing outside the vehicle.

The receiver may transmit the delivered nonreversing frequency signal to the external server 1100.

The external server may perform authentication based on whether or not the irreversible frequency signal transmitted through the receiver matches the irreversible frequency signal transmitted to the vehicle control device 800. [

Specifically, the external server 1100 determines whether or not the irreversible frequency signal output from the vehicle and received through the receiver matches the irreversible frequency signal transmitted from the external server 1100 to the vehicle control apparatus, It can be determined that the authentication is successful.

Such an arrangement can be made, for example, when the user finishes the ordering step and performs the settlement step in the region (drive-through) ordered in the vehicle.

Meanwhile, the present invention can provide a method of performing authentication using irreversible frequency signals through the mobile terminal 1200, the vehicle control device 800 (or the vehicle 100), and the external server.

As described above, the communication unit 810 of the vehicle control device 800 of the present invention can be configured to perform communication with the mobile terminal 1200. [

The external server 1100 transmits the irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the specific operation to the vehicle control device 800 (for example, the mobile terminal 1000) when receiving an authentication request from the mobile terminal 1200 to authenticate a specific operation ).

The information of the mobile terminal 1200 and the information of the vehicle control apparatus 800 may be linked to the external server 1100. The external server 1100 may transmit the irreversible frequency signal to the vehicle control device 800 associated with the mobile terminal 1200 when there is an authentication request for the specific operation from the mobile terminal 1200. [

The external server 800 also transmits to the mobile terminal 1200 information related to the irreversible frequency signal transmitted to the vehicle control device 800 (for example, characteristics of the frequency, pattern, cycle, etc. of the irreversible frequency signal) .

For example, the mobile terminal 1200 and the vehicle 100 (or the vehicle control apparatus) 800 owned by the same driver may be stored in the external server 1100 as devices of the same owner.

The processor 870 of the vehicle control device 800 may output the irreversible frequency signal through the output unit 830 so that the irreversible frequency signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1200. [

The mobile terminal 1200 can perform authentication for a specific operation using the irreversible frequency signal output from the output unit 830 of the vehicle control device 800. [

For example, the mobile terminal 1200 may compare the irreversible frequency signal received from the external server with the irreversible frequency signal output from the vehicle control device 800 to perform authentication.

The processor 870 can receive the authentication success or failure from the mobile terminal 1200 and transmit the authentication success or failure to the external server 1100 so that the vehicle control device transmits the authentication success or failure to the external server.

Also, the mobile terminal 1200 may transmit the authentication success or failure to the external server 1200 immediately.

The external server 1100 may grant the authority related to the specific operation to the vehicle control device and the mobile terminal when the authentication of the specific operation requested by the mobile terminal is successful.

In addition, the external server 1100 may transmit arbitrary text to the vehicle control apparatus when the authentication for the specific operation fails. Thereafter, the processor 870 may perform additional authentication for the particular operation, using the driver's voice received while outputting the received text, as described in Figures 9-11.

The external server 1100 may grant the authority related to the specific operation to the mobile terminal and the vehicle control apparatus when the additional authentication is successful.

Such a configuration can be used, for example, in a car sharing service.

The car sharing service may be a service in which a plurality of people share a certain vehicle and use a vehicle for a predetermined period of time (or for a predetermined period of time).

In the car sharing service, the external server can grant authority to control the vehicle to the mobile terminal and authority to operate the vehicle control device by control of the mobile terminal.

As a method for granting such authority, an authentication method using an irreversible frequency signal through the mobile terminal described above can be used.

Referring to Fig. 13, the vehicle may be provided with a vehicle authentication unit for performing authentication in the vehicle. The vehicle authentication unit may include a communication unit 810 or a processor 870. [

The vehicle authentication unit may be provided outside the vehicle, for example, to sense tagging of the mobile terminal.

The step of detecting that the mobile terminal is tagged (or approaching within a certain distance) is performed in the vehicle authentication unit (S1302).

Based on the tagging, the mobile terminal 1200 can transmit an authentication request to an external server for authenticating a specific operation (for example, an operation for obtaining vehicle control authority).

As another example, the processor 870 (vehicle authentication unit) may authenticate a specific operation (e.g., a boarding request) of the mobile terminal (mobile) to the external server 1100 based on the tagging of the mobile terminal 1200 To the external server.

The external server 1100 may transmit the irreversible frequency signal (or the non-audible frequency signal) to the vehicle control device 800 based on the request (S1306). In addition, the external server 1100 can transmit information related to the irreversible frequency signal transmitted to the vehicle control device 800 to the mobile terminal 1200.

In addition, the irreversible frequency signal transmitted from the external server 1100 to the vehicle control device 800 may be an irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the specific operation requested by the mobile terminal (or an irreversible frequency signal capable of identifying the specific operation) .

Meanwhile, the mobile terminal may enter a listening mode for receiving the irreversible frequency signal (S1308).

The vehicle control apparatus 800 may output the irreversible frequency signal received from the external server through the output unit 830 so that the non-audible frequency signal is transmitted to the mobile terminal (S1310).

The mobile terminal 1200 receives the irreversible frequency signal output from the vehicle control device (or vehicle), compares the irreversible frequency signal with the information related to the irreversible frequency signal transmitted from the external server 1200, and performs authentication (S1312).

Also, the mobile terminal 1200 may receive the irreversible frequency signal output from the vehicle control device, and perform authentication by determining whether the irreversible frequency signal is an irreversible frequency signal corresponding to a specific operation requested by the mobile terminal .

If the authentication is successful, the mobile terminal may be granted the specific operation (for example, the right to start the vehicle or the right to lock or unlock the door of the vehicle) from the external server (S1314).

On the other hand, when the authentication fails, the mobile terminal transmits information indicating that authentication has failed to the vehicle control device, and the processor 870 of the vehicle control device transmits information indicating that authentication has failed through the communication unit 810 to the external server .

The external server can transmit arbitrary text to the vehicle control apparatus when the information indicating that the authentication has failed is received.

The processor 870 (or external server) may determine that the authentication is successful if the user voice received via the input of the vehicle control device is the same as the arbitrary text. Thereafter, the external server may authorize the specific operation with at least one of the mobile terminal and the vehicle control device.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the external server may transmit arbitrary text to the mobile terminal when the authentication information is received (S1318).

Then, the mobile terminal can transmit the user voice received through the input unit of the mobile terminal to the external server.

If the user's voice and the arbitrary text are identical (S1320), the external server may grant authority for the specific operation to at least one of the mobile terminal and the vehicle control device.

In addition, the mobile terminal may be a subject of authentication for determining whether or not the user's voice received through the input unit of the mobile terminal matches the arbitrary text.

In this case, the mobile terminal may transmit the authentication success or failure to the external server and be granted the authority for the specific operation from the external server.

On the other hand, the processor 870 can request the token to the external server based on the fact that the sensed driver enters a state in which the hand can not be used as the authentication means by the sensing unit 820. Thereafter, when the token is received from the external server, the processor 870 may output the irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the token through the output unit 830. [

At this time, the processor 870 can receive the token from the external server via the communication unit 810 based on the predetermined condition being satisfied.

The predetermined condition is a condition corresponding to a situation in which authentication by the driver's voice is difficult. For example, the predetermined condition may be a situation in which the driver is unable to speak (for example, drinking a beverage or conversing with a passenger) And if the size is greater than a certain size (i.e., noisy).

The processor 870 controls the operation of the sensor 870 in a case where the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means through the sensing unit 820 and the predetermined condition (for example, ), The authentication process using the token can be performed.

That is, the processor 870 requests the token to the external server through the communication unit 810 when the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means through the sensing unit 820 and the predetermined condition is satisfied, And receive a token from the external server.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the processor 870 can perform the authentication using the token even if only the situation that the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means is satisfied.

The token is information corresponding to a user's request (for example, a specific operation or an operation requiring authentication), and the token may include information capable of identifying the user request.

The processor 870 may generate the irreversible frequency signal based on the token when the token is received from the external server. The generated irreversible frequency signal may correspond to the token. For example, the irreversible frequency signal may be configured to identify information included in the token.

The processor 870 can receive the irreversible frequency signal together with the driver's voice through the input unit when the driver's voice is received while the irreversible frequency signal is being output. That is, the processor 870 can receive the irreversible frequency signal output through the output unit 830 together with the user's voice through the input unit 840.

Thereafter, the processor 870 can transmit the received driver's voice and irreversible frequency signal to the external server through the communication unit 810 so that the operation corresponding to the driver's voice and the authentication using the irreversible frequency signal are performed in the external server have.

Thereafter, the external server determines whether or not the irreversible frequency signal received from the vehicle control device is an irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the token transmitted to the vehicle control device. If the irreversible frequency signal matches the operation sound corresponding to the driver's voice An operation corresponding to the operation term included in the operation command).

Referring to the drive-through status shown in FIG. 14, the configuration shown above will be described in more detail.

First, the processor 870 can sense the situation where the driver can not use his or her hand as the authentication means (the situation where the vehicle enters the drive through) through the sensing unit 820 (S1402).

Based on the above situation, the processor 870 may request a token (e.g., order token) from an external server (S1404).

The external server may generate a token based on the request, and may transmit the token to the vehicle control apparatus (S1406).

The processor 870 generates an irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the received token and outputs the generated irreversible frequency signal through the output unit 830 (S1408).

Unlike Fig. 13 in which the external server generates irreversible frequency signals, Fig. 14 differs in that the vehicle control device generates irreversible frequency signals based on tokens.

The processor 870 can receive the driver's voice while the irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the token is output through the output unit 830 (S1410). In one example, the driver's voice includes user voice boarded in the vehicle, and may be a command for performing a specific operation (e.g., ordering).

Thereafter, the processor 870 may analyze the driver's voice to determine whether the driver speaking the driver's voice is an authenticated user (S1412).

For example, the processor 870 can determine whether the driver speaking the driver's voice is an authenticated user based on the characteristics (e.g., frequency, minutiae, speech, etc.) of the driver's voice. Authenticating the user by using the driver's voice is a general technique, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The processor 870 can output information indicating that a specific operation (e.g., order) has failed, without having to transmit the driver's voice to the external server when the user authentication has failed through the analysis of the driver's voice.

In addition, when the user authentication is successful through the analysis of the driver's voice, the processor 870 can transmit the irreversible frequency signal input to the input unit 840 and the driver's voice to the external server together.

The external server can perform authentication based on whether the received irreversible frequency signal is an irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the token transmitted to the vehicle control device.

If the authentication is successful, the external server can perform an operation (order) corresponding to the driver's voice (S1418). On the other hand, if the authentication fails, the external server can transmit information to the vehicle control device indicating that the authentication has failed.

On the other hand, when the driver's voice is input, the present invention determines whether the operation corresponding to the driver's voice is an operation requiring authentication, and can perform authentication using the token based on the determination.

The processor 870 can determine whether the specific operation requires authentication of the external server when a driver voice requesting a specific operation is received.

In addition, the processor 870 can perform the specific operation when authentication of the external server is unnecessary.

When the authentication of the external server is required, the processor 870 may receive the token from the external server and perform authentication with the external server using the irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the token. If the authentication is successful, the processor 870 may perform the specific operation.

15, the processor 870 of the present invention transmits a permission request to use an audio engine (e.g., a 3rd agent) of an external server to an external server (S1502) (S1504) so that it is possible to use the speech engine.

The processor 870 can activate the speech engine based on the reception of the user voice that enables the speech engine of the vehicle through the input unit 840 (S1506).

Thereafter, the processor 870 may receive a driver's voice (e.g., a voice command) requesting a specific operation through the input unit 840 (S1508).

The processor 870 may determine whether the specific operation requires authentication of the external server (e.g., whether a voice engine of the external server is required) (S1510).

Here, in order to utilize the speech engine of the external server, authentication of the external server may be required.

The processor 870 may perform the specific operation when the specific operation does not require authentication of the external server (e.g., when the voice engine of the external server is unnecessary) (S1512).

The processor 870 may request the token from the external server if the specific operation requires authentication of the external server (e.g., when a voice engine of the external server is required) (S1514).

The external server receiving the request determines whether the vehicle control device that transmitted the token is a registered device (S1516). If it is a registered device, the external server may generate a token and transmit the generated token to the vehicle control device (S1518).

The processor 870 generates an irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the received token (S1520), and outputs the generated irreversible frequency signal through the output unit 830. [

The processor 870 can receive the irreversible frequency signal output through the output unit 830 via the input unit 840 and merge it with the driver's voice requesting the specific operation.

That is, the processor 870 can transmit the irreversible frequency signal received through the input unit 840 and the driver's voice requesting the specific operation to the external server together (S1522).

The external server can perform authentication by determining whether the irreversible frequency signal received from the vehicle control device is an irreversible frequency signal corresponding to the token transmitted to the vehicle control device (S1524).

If the authentication is successful, the external device can perform the specific operation included in the driver's voice (S1526).

If the vehicle control device that requested the token is not a registered device or fails to authenticate, the external server can transmit information to the vehicle control device indicating that it can not perform a specific operation or can not perform a specific operation (S1528).

Referring to FIG. 16, the present invention can provide a control method for performing authentication with an external server 1100 using both irreversible frequency signals output from the vehicle control device 800 and user's voice.

In addition, the present invention may generate an irreversible frequency signal from an external server and transmit the irreversible frequency signal to the vehicle control device, or may transmit only the token to cause the vehicle control device to generate the irreversible frequency signal.

Further, the present invention may perform the primary authentication using the irreversible frequency signal and the secondary authentication using the driver's voice based on the failure of the primary authentication.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the vehicle control device identifies (authenticates) the driver through the driver's voice, transmits the driver's voice and the irreversible frequency signal together, transmits the specific operation included in the driver's voice to the external server, It is possible to provide a new authentication method capable of performing authentication using the authentication method.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is one or more of the following effects.

First, the present invention can provide a new user interface for performing OTP (One Time Password) authentication using a reversible / irreversible voice recognition available in a vehicle.

Second, the present invention can provide a vehicle control device capable of performing highly reliable authentication without additional authentication process using an irreversible frequency generated in a vehicle control device and a driver's voice (user's ignition).

Third, the present invention can guarantee real-time performance by performing authentication using a randomly generated word in an external server in real time.

Fourth, the present invention performs authentication using at least one of a driver's voice or a irreversible frequency signal using a random word, thereby preventing authentication through a recorded voice and enhancing security more than authentication using only the characteristics of a driver's voice A new authentication method can be provided.

The effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects mentioned above, and other effects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.

The vehicle control device 800 described above can be included in the vehicle 100. [

The operation or control method of the vehicle control device 800 described above can be applied to the operation or the control method of the vehicle 100 (or the control unit 170) in a similar or analogous manner.

For example, the control method of the vehicle 100 (or the control method of the vehicle control apparatus 800) may include the steps of sensing a situation in which the driver can not use the hand as the authentication means in the vehicle, Receiving an arbitrary text to be used for authentication from an external server, and performing authentication based on receiving the driver's voice corresponding to the text while the received text is outputted.

A more specific embodiment may be replaced with the above-described content, or analogy or similar analogy may be applied.

Each of the above steps may be performed not only by the vehicle control apparatus 800 but also by the control section 170 provided in the vehicle 100. [

Further, all of the functions, configurations, or control methods performed by the vehicle control device 800 described above can be performed by the control unit 170 provided in the vehicle 100. [ That is, all of the control methods described in this specification may be applied to a control method of a vehicle or a control method of a control apparatus.

Further, the vehicle control apparatus 800 illustrated above may be a mobile terminal.
