3 is a perspective view showing an example of a glass-type mobile terminal 400 related to another embodiment of the present invention.

The glass-type mobile terminal 400 is configured to be worn on the head of the human body, and may include a frame portion (case, housing, etc.) for this. The frame portion may be formed of a flexible material to facilitate wearing. In this drawing, it is illustrated that the frame portion includes a first frame 401 and a second frame 402 made of different materials. In general, the mobile terminal 400 may include features of the mobile terminal 100 of FIGS. 1A to 1C or similar features.

The frame portion is supported on the head and provides a space in which various parts are mounted. As shown, electronic components such as the control module 480 and the sound output module 452 may be mounted on the frame part. In addition, a lens 403 covering at least one of the left eye and the right eye may be detachably mounted on the frame portion.

The control module 480 is configured to control various electronic components provided in the mobile terminal 400. The control module 480 may be understood as a configuration corresponding to the control unit 180 described above. In this drawing, it is illustrated that the control module 480 is installed in the frame on one side of the head. However, the location of the control module 480 is not limited thereto.

The display unit 451 may be implemented in the form of a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD type refers to a display method that is mounted on the head and displays an image directly in front of the user's eyes. When the user wears the glass-type mobile terminal 400, the display unit 451 may be disposed to correspond to at least one of the left eye and the right eye so that an image can be directly provided in front of the user's eyes. In this drawing, it is illustrated that the display unit 451 is positioned at a portion corresponding to the right eye so that an image can be output toward the user's right eye.

The display unit 451 may project an image to the user's eyes using a prism. In addition, the prism may be formed to be light-transmitting so that the user can see the projected image and the general field of view (a range that the user sees through the eyes) together.

In this way, the image output through the display unit 451 may be viewed by overlapping with the general view. The mobile terminal 400 may provide an Augmented Reality (AR) that displays a single image by superimposing a virtual image on a real image or a background by using the characteristics of the display.

The camera 421 is disposed adjacent to at least one of the left eye and the right eye, and is formed to capture a front image. Since the camera 421 is located adjacent to the eye, the camera 421 may acquire a scene viewed by the user as an image.

In this drawing, although the camera 421 is provided in the control module 480, it is not necessarily limited thereto. The camera 421 may be installed in the frame unit, or a plurality of cameras 421 may be provided to obtain a stereoscopic image.

The glass-type mobile terminal 400 may include user input units 423a and 423b that are operated to receive a control command.

The location information module 115 provided in the mobile terminal is for detecting, calculating, or identifying the location of the mobile terminal, and representative examples may include a Global Position System (GPS) module and a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module. If necessary, the location information module 115 may perform any function among other modules of the wireless communication unit 110 in order to obtain data on the location of the mobile terminal as a substitute or additionally.

The GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites, and then accurately calculates three-dimensional current location information according to latitude, longitude, and altitude by applying a trigonometry to the calculated information. can do. Currently, a method of calculating position and time information using three satellites and correcting an error of the calculated position and time information using another satellite is widely used. In addition, the GPS module 115 may calculate speed information by continuously calculating the current location in real time. However, it is difficult to accurately measure the location of a mobile terminal using a GPS module in a shaded area of a satellite signal, such as indoors. Accordingly, in order to compensate for positioning of the GPS method, a WiFi Positioning System (WPS) may be used.

The Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS: WiFi Positioning System) uses a WiFi module provided in the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless access point (AP) that transmits or receives a wireless signal with the WiFi module. As a technology for tracking the location of a device, it refers to a location positioning technology based on WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) using WiFi.

The Wi-Fi location tracking system may include a Wi-Fi location positioning server, a mobile terminal 100, a wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100, and a database in which information about a wireless AP is stored.

The mobile terminal 100 connected to the wireless AP may transmit a location information request message to a Wi-Fi location location server.

The Wi-Fi location server extracts information on a wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 based on the location information request message (or signal) of the mobile terminal 100. The information on the wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 may be transmitted to the Wi-Fi location server through the mobile terminal 100 or from the wireless AP to the Wi-Fi location server.

Based on the location information request message of the mobile terminal 100, the extracted wireless AP information is MAC Address, Service Set IDentification (SSID), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), and RSRQ ( Reference Signal Received Quality), channel information, Privacy, Network Type, Signal Strength, and Noise Strength.

As described above, the Wi-Fi location server may receive information on a wireless AP connected to the mobile terminal 100 and extract wireless AP information corresponding to a wireless AP to which the mobile terminal is connected from a database built in advance. At this time, the information of random wireless APs stored in the database includes MAC Address, SSID, channel information, Privacy, Network Type, latitude and longitude coordinates of the wireless AP, the building name where the wireless AP is located, the number of floors, and detailed indoor location information (GPS coordinates). Available), the AP owner's address, phone number, etc. In this case, in order to remove wireless APs provided using mobile APs or illegal MAC addresses during the positioning process, the Wi-Fi location positioning server may extract only a predetermined number of wireless AP information in the order of the highest RSSI.

Thereafter, the Wi-Fi location server may extract (or analyze) the location information of the mobile terminal 100 by using at least one wireless AP information extracted from the database. By comparing the included information with the received wireless AP information, location information of the mobile terminal 100 is extracted (or analyzed).

As a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal 100, a Cell-ID method, a finger print method, a triangulation method, a landmark method, and the like may be used.

The Cell-ID method is a method of determining a location of a wireless AP having the strongest signal strength among surrounding wireless AP information collected by the mobile terminal as the location of the mobile terminal. It is simple to implement, does not incur additional costs, and has the advantage of being able to obtain location information quickly, but has a disadvantage in that the positioning accuracy is lowered when the installation density of the wireless AP is low.

The fingerprint method is a method of selecting a reference location in a service area, collecting signal strength information, and estimating a location through signal strength information transmitted from a mobile terminal based on the collected information. In order to use the fingerprint method, it is necessary to make a database of propagation characteristics in advance.

The triangulation method is a method of calculating a location of a mobile terminal based on coordinates of at least three wireless APs and a distance between the mobile terminals. In order to measure the distance between the mobile terminal and the wireless AP, the signal strength is converted into distance information, the time at which the wireless signal is transmitted (Time of Arrival, ToA), the time difference in which the signal is transmitted (Time Difference of Arrival, TDoA) , The angle at which the signal is transmitted (Angle of Arrival, AoA), etc. may be used.

The landmark method is a method of measuring the location of a mobile terminal using a landmark transmitter that knows the location.

In addition to the listed methods, various algorithms may be used as a method for extracting (or analyzing) the location information of the mobile terminal.

The location information of the mobile terminal 100 extracted in this way is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 through the Wi-Fi location positioning server, so that the mobile terminal 100 can obtain the location information.

The mobile terminal 100 may obtain location information by being connected to at least one wireless AP. In this case, the number of wireless APs required to obtain location information of the mobile terminal 100 may be variously changed according to a wireless communication environment in which the mobile terminal 100 is located.

As previously discussed through FIG. 1A, the mobile terminal according to the present invention includes Bluetooth™, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, and NFC (Near Field Communication), Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus), and other short-range communication technologies can be applied.

Among them, the NFC module provided in the mobile terminal supports contactless short-range wireless communication between terminals at a distance of about 10 cm. The NFC module can operate in any one of a card mode, a reader mode, and a P2P mode. In order to operate the NFC module in the card mode, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a security module for storing card information. Here, the security module may be a physical medium such as UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) (e.g., SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) or USIM (Universal SIM)), Secure micro SD, and a sticker, or a logical medium embedded in the mobile terminal ( For example, it may be an embeded SE (Secure element). Data exchange based on Single Wire Protocol (SWP) may be performed between the NFC module and the security module.

When the NFC module is operated in the card mode, the mobile terminal can transmit card information stored like a traditional IC card to the outside. Specifically, when a mobile terminal that stores card information of a payment card such as a credit card or a bus card is brought close to the payment machine, mobile short-range payment can be processed, and the mobile terminal that stores the card information of the card for access is approved. Upon approaching the flag, the access authorization process can begin. Cards such as credit cards, transportation cards, and access cards are mounted on a security module in the form of an applet, and the security module may store card information on the mounted card. Here, the card information of the payment card may be at least one of a card number, balance, and usage history, and the card information of the access card may be at least one of the user's name, number (eg, the user's student number or employee number), and access details. It can be one.

When the NFC module is operated in the reader mode, the mobile terminal can read data from an external tag. In this case, the data received from the tag by the mobile terminal may be coded in the NFC Data Exchange Format determined by the NFC forum. In addition, the NFC forum defines four record types. Specifically, the NFC Forum defines four RTDs (Record Type Definition), such as Smart Poster, Text, Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), and General Control. When the data received from the tag is a smart poster type, the controller may execute a browser (eg, an Internet browser), and when the data received from the tag is a text type, the controller may execute a text viewer. When the data received from the tag is a URI type, the control unit executes a browser or makes a phone call, and when the data received from the tag is a general control type, an appropriate operation may be performed according to the control contents.

When the NFC module is operated in a peer-to-peer (P2P) mode, the mobile terminal can perform P2P communication with other mobile terminals. At this time, LLCP (Logical Link Control Protocol) may be applied to P2P communication. For P2P communication, a connection may be created between a mobile terminal and another mobile terminal. In this case, the generated connection may be divided into a connectionless mode in which one packet is exchanged and terminated, and a connection-oriented mode in which packets are continuously exchanged. Through P2P communication, data such as electronic business cards, contact information, digital photos, and URLs, and setup parameters for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection may be exchanged. However, since the usable distance of NFC communication is short, the P2P mode can be effectively utilized for exchanging small sized data.

In addition, Bluetooth is a standard for wireless communication between devices in a short distance with low power consumption. After the release of Bluetooth version 1.0B in December 1999, version 1.2 applying AFH (Adaptive Frequency Hopping) was adopted in November 2003. 2.0+EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), which improved the data transmission rate by up to three times in October 2004, and 2.1+EDR, which includes SSP (Secure Simple Paring), which simplifies the connection method and enhances security functions in July 2007. Was announced. As the EDR function was installed in the product, the existing transmission speed was improved by 2 to 3 times, but there was a limit to the transmission of high-speed data such as streaming service. Version 3.0+HS (High Speed), which overcomes these limitations and is more than eight times higher than the EDR method, was released in April 2009. Version 3.0+HS enables large-capacity data transmission services such as data streaming and video transmission between existing Bluetooth devices. In addition, the built-in power management function can reduce power consumption compared to the previous version. In June 2007, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) absorbed Wibree technology, an ultra-low power application technology that was being standardized at the Wibree Forum, into the Bluetooth standard, and pioneered a new application field called Bluetooth Low Energy. Released Bluetooth version 4.0. When using version 4.0, power consumption can be drastically reduced, making it possible to create dual-mode products that have existing Bluetooth and low energy technologies as well as single-mode products that can be used for sports, healthcare, sensors, and device control.

The Bluetooth module installed in recent mobile terminals is equipped with version 4.0, so that existing Bluetooth and low energy technologies can be used at the same time. The low energy technology of Bluetooth version 4.0 has a relatively small duty cycle compared to the existing Bluetooth standard, enables low-cost production, and can significantly reduce power consumption through low-speed data transmission rates. In addition, the device connection procedure is simplified, and the packet size is designed to be smaller than that of standard Bluetooth.

4 is a diagram illustrating a protocol structure of a low-power Bluetooth technology applied to a mobile terminal related to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, Bluetooth low energy can be implemented in two forms, dual mode and single mode. Dual mode is a form in which existing Bluetooth and low energy technology coexist, and is mainly used for mobile phones (Fig. 4(a)), and single mode is used for standalone products such as sensors (Fig. 4(b)). For compatibility with the existing Bluetooth technology, RF, HCI (Host Controller Interface), L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol) 　 layers are the same as before, and some functions have been added for low energy technology. In low energy technology, the LL layer plays the role of BB (Baseband) and LM (Link Manager) of the existing Bluetooth. In the existing Bluetooth, the security function was performed at the 　GAP (Generic Access Profile) 　 layer, and in the low energy technology, the security function was reinforced by creating the SM (Security Manager) 　 layer. In a wireless communication environment, a distributed key method is used for identification and encryption, and the security capability of the key depends on the performance of the algorithm in the distributing device. GAP (Generic Access Profile) 　 layer is a newly implemented layer for low energy Bluetooth technology different from existing Bluetooth 　It is used to select roles for communication between low energy devices and control how multi-profile operation occurs, device discovery, 　Connection creation and security It is mainly used in the procedural part. As a newly added layer, there is a 　Attribute　protocol. This protocol is used when communicating between a server and a client and has a Attributehandle used to access Attributes in the server from the client. Protocol operation commands include 　'Request','Response','Command','Notification','Indication', and'Confirmation'. The 　GATT (Generic Attribute Profile) 　 layer, which performs functions such as service search, 　 feature value identification, 　 read, 　 write, etc., is also a newly created layer using Attribute Protocol. GATT uses 　Attribute Protocol to define service framework, service format and procedure. This procedure defines the setting of the characteristics of discovery, reading, writing, notify, and indicating.

Low-energy Bluetooth technology can operate independently of the existing Bluetooth technology, and the controller (180 in Fig. 1) always turns on the low-energy Bluetooth technology at the user's selection when powering on the mobile terminal operating in dual mode. It can be set to keep high.
