The watch face management device 130 generates a security mark pattern 607 using the security mark 603, watch face information 605, and watch face use history 606. The watch face management device 130 determines the location of the watch face 409 added using the watch face information 605 and determines the added type of the watch face 409 using the user's watch face usage history 606. You can decide. Accordingly, the watch face management device 130 can generate a security mark pattern 607 including an additional location and an additional form, and apply the security mark 603 to the watch face according to the security mark pattern 607. You can. A specific method of producing the security mark pattern 607 is described in FIG. 7.

The watch face management device 130 adds a security mark 603 to the watch face according to the security mark pattern 607. The security mark pattern 607 includes information on the location and type of addition of the security mark, and the watch face management device 130 extracts RGB values from each of the pixel positions of the string arranged according to the addition position, and RGB A security mark can be added to the watch face by changing the RGB values of pixel positions by applying a color change value according to the type of value added.

FIG. 7 illustrates an example 700 of a security mark pattern placed on a watch face screen in the watch face management system 100 according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

The watch face management device 130 can use the watch face information 605 and the watch face usage history 606 to generate a security mark pattern 607 for the location and form where the security mark 603 will be added.

Specifically, the watch face management device 130 uses the watch face information 605 to determine the location where the security mark is added. To this end, the watch face management device 130 sequentially arranges the string of the security mark 603 on pixels arranged in a row in the first direction from the center pixel (a ₀ ) located at the center of the watch face to set the reference position. can be set. Thereafter, the watch face management device 130 can determine the rotation angle using the watch face information 605 and determine the additional position of the security mark 603 by rotating the reference position according to the rotation angle.

Since the watch face is composed of a combination of watch face assets, the RGB values in each pixel of the watch face are different depending on the composition and arrangement of the watch face assets. Additionally, if a pixel change occurs near an area with low RGB values within the watch face, the pixel change becomes noticeable due to the surrounding low RGB values. Accordingly, the watch face management device 130 checks the pixel values of the watch face using the watch face information 605, rotates from the first direction, and selects the angle at which the sum of the watch face RGB values is highest, thereby determining the rotation angle. can be decided.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the watch face management device 130 may place a character string at a point spaced apart from the center pixel (a ₀ ) by a preset pixel distance in the x-axis direction. For example, if there are 5 identification strings, the watch face management device 130 sets the reference position by placing the strings at pixel positions x ₁ , x ₂ , x ₃ , x ₄ , and x ₅ within the watch face screen. You can.

Thereafter, the watch face management device 130 may rotate the reference position clockwise and calculate the total of each RGB value. Referring to FIG. 7, since the whale image has a low RGB value, the watch face management device 130 can set the angle to avoid the whale image as the rotation angle. Accordingly, the watch face management device 130 may select y1, y2, y3, y4, and y5 as the final positions where the string is placed.

After determining the location where the security mark 603 is added, the watch face management device 130 determines the type of addition using the watch face use history 606. The watch face management device 130 may determine the user's sensitivity level using the watch face usage history 606 and determine a color change value corresponding to the sensitivity level. Here, the sensitivity level indicates a value between 0 and less than 10, and the color change value can indicate an RGB color change value.

Each watch face user has a different level of sensitivity to changes in the color of the watch face. For example, the more time you spend checking the watch face, the longer the watch face replacement cycle, and the higher the basic visual sensitivity of the user, the easier it is to perceive color changes. Accordingly, the watch face management device 130 determines the first sensitivity level corresponding to the ratio of AOD time to total time, the second sensitivity level corresponding to the watch face replacement cycle, and the user usage sensitivity in the watch face usage history 606. The sensitivity level can be calculated by adding the corresponding third sensitivity levels, and the color change value corresponding to the sensitivity level can be determined. To this end, the watch face management device 130 provides a first table for the correspondence between the ratio of AOD time and the sensitivity level, a second table for the correspondence between the watch face replacement cycle and the sensitivity level, and a user usage sensitivity and sensitivity level. A third table for the correspondence relationship and a color value table for the correspondence relationship between the sensitivity level and the color change value may be stored in advance. Accordingly, the watch face management device 130 can determine the additional form indicating the color change value and generate a security mark pattern 607 including the additional location and additional form.
