BAG FOR SECURITY INTENSIFICATION USING FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION}

The present invention relates to a bag and a system for preventing theft and loss of the bag. Specifically, an alarm sound is generated through fingerprint authentication to allow a person other than the authenticated user (fingerprint registrant) to touch or touch the bag. Alarming when attempting to open the bag through the opening or closing member of the bag, to prevent theft of important documents or valuables stored in the bag, and to prevent theft or loss of the bag through the GPS. The present invention relates to a bag with an enhanced security function through fingerprint recognition that provides a location and easily finds a bag and a system for preventing theft and loss of the bag.

In general, various types of bags including handbags are simple belongings or one of life necessities made by storing and storing items according to their size, and include a main body for storing various belongings or items. The main body is made of various shapes and structures according to the type of bag, for example, a handbag, a backpack, a briefcase, a carrier (aircraft bag), a notebook bag, and the main body has a zipper, Various opening and closing members are provided, such as hooks, magnets, buttons or velcro.

These bags are becoming more advanced as they are recognized as a fashion item that expresses or shows off their economic power, in addition to the purpose of storing and keeping belongings or items in the modern society. In particular, the use of expensive luxury goods has increased due to the preference for luxury goods due to the desire to show off, which also increases the risk of theft or loss.

Accordingly, the bag is provided with a lock to prevent the valuables stored therein from being stolen or lost. Such a locking device can keep the opening and closing member for opening the main body in a locked state to prevent theft or loss of valuables stored in the main body in advance.

However, the existing locks installed in the bag is a manual or electronic lock using a password input method, which is a traditional method, in consideration of the reality that personal information leakage accidents frequently occur due to hacking, etc. They contain insecure elements that inevitably lead to theft or loss.

In addition, the bag 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as a technical feature, by using a fingerprint information which is one of the biometric information, a person other than the fingerprint registrant touches or touches the bag 1 or the opening / closing member 12. It includes an anti-theft module 20 to prevent theft of important documents or valuables that are stored by providing an alarm sound when you want to open through.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the anti-theft module 20 may include a fingerprint recognition unit 21 that recognizes a fingerprint of a person who contacts the bag 1, and a fingerprint registrant (for example, a bag owner or an authorized acquaintance) whose fingerprint is already registered. Memory 22 for storing the fingerprint of the fingerprint, fingerprint authentication unit 23 and fingerprint authentication unit 23 for comparing and authenticating the fingerprint input from the fingerprint recognition unit 21 and the fingerprint registered in the memory 22, the fingerprint authentication unit 23 Alarm sound generation unit 24 for generating an alarm sound in accordance with the authentication result of the.

The fingerprint recognition unit 21 recognizes a fingerprint of a person who touches or touches the bag 1 or catches the opening / closing member 12. The fingerprint recognition part 21 is a part that the general public mainly touches to lift or open the bag 1. Is installed on. That is, it may be a handle or a bag strap or an opening / closing member 12 that grips the bag using the thumb and index finger. Preferably, if a zipper is used, it is installed on a zipper handle that must be grasped to open the bag 1.

On the other hand, the fingerprint recognition unit 21 is not installed in any one of the main body 11, handle, strap, or opening and closing member 12 of the bag 1, it is preferable that a plurality of places are installed in place, through this The recognition rate of the fingerprint currently in contact with the bag 1 can be increased.

The anti-theft module 20 according to the present invention measures the quality of each fingerprint transmitted from the plurality of fingerprint recognition units 21 when the plurality of fingerprint recognition units 21 are distributed in a specific part of the bag 1. The apparatus may further include a fingerprint quality comparing unit (not shown) for comparing each other.

The fingerprint quality comparing unit compares the quality of the fingerprints transmitted from each fingerprint recognition unit 21 with each other, and transmits the fingerprint having excellent quality to the fingerprint authentication unit 23 first. At this time, the comparison of the fingerprint quality is distinguished using 'Count' or 'score' value which is an index of the fingerprint quality.

The memory 22 registers and stores a fingerprint of a fingerprint registrant, and stores all fingerprints including a fingerprint (palm) formed in the palm, not limited to a specific fingertip fingerprint. The memory 22 may be any one of a type of memory including a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), and an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM) for storing a fingerprint and a program for overall operation control of the bag 11. Can be.

The fingerprint authentication unit 23 compares the fingerprints transmitted through the fingerprint recognition unit 21 that recognizes the fingerprint of the person who is currently in contact with the bag 1 with the fingerprints of the fingerprint registrants previously stored in the memory 22, If it does not match, an alarm sound is generated through the alarm sound generator 24.

The alarm sound generating unit 24 generates an alarm sound (siren) in response to the signal transmitted to the fingerprint authentication unit 23. For example, the alarm sound generator 24 may further include an LED warning light.

As such, the bag 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is not a fingerprint registrant, i.e., an authorized user, by fingerprint authentication using an anti-theft module 20 installed in the main body 11 or the opening / closing member 12. When a person contacts or touches the bag 1 or wants to open the bag 1 through an opening member, an alarm sound (and / or a warning light) is provided in real time so that important documents stored in the bag 1 Theft or loss of valuables can be prevented.
