Description

System and method for legal use of individual position data by certificate for the position opening within a wireless mobile}

The present invention has a location information disclosure certificate provided by a terminal user requesting the release of location information in order to prevent misuse of the personal location information by a third party in the protection and use of the location information of an individual in a mobile communication network. A system and method for preventing abuse of personal location information for providing location information of a terminal user only to the user.

More specifically, the personal location information misuse prevention system, when a mobile communication subscriber who wants to disclose his location information sends a location information disclosure request signal to the mobile communication system, the mobile communication system that receives the location information for location tracking The certificate authority (CA) server that issues the certificate is transmitted to the subscriber information stored in the HLR, etc. and the current location information of the subscriber to request a certificate for the location information disclosure. The certificate authority (CA) server issuing a certificate for releasing the location information transmits the certificate to the mobile communication system that requested the issuance, and the received mobile communication system stores it in its database or requests the certificate of the mobile terminal. Send the certificate to. The location information disclosure certificate, which is transmitted to the subscriber's terminal or stored in the database of the mobile communication system, may be transmitted to the second and third other subscriber terminals. A mobile subscriber can be provided with the location information of the individual who has requested the release of the location information to the mobile communication system after authentication by the certification authority using the corresponding certificate.

In the case of an individual who is in an emergency situation or his or her spouse's request, the emergency rescue agency such as the National Emergency Management Agency can provide personal location information to the location information provider without the consent of the individual location information subject. You can request. However, in the case of the police request for more help in daily life, the disclosure of personal location information is more strictly managed to prevent misuse of location information. In addition, in order to prevent the misuse of the personal location information as described above, the second and third people or organizations until the disclosure procedure of the location information of the individual who has requested the disclosure of the location information to the second or third person or organization is carried out. The relatively time-consuming work such as the identification process for the government should be carried out in advance, so it is impossible to provide prompt help and process to the requestor for location information in danger.

An object of the present invention for solving such a problem is to provide a location information disclosure certificate that can be provided only by the person who has requested the disclosure of location information by using a mobile communication terminal or when the user is in an emergency situation. In this necessary situation, by delivering to the second and third parties or agencies for help, the effect of asking for help directly is not only faster, but also second and third. It is to provide a system and method that can prevent the misuse of location information of an individual without going through the identification process of the person.

Thus, according to the present invention, the identity can be proved by the certificate for the location information disclosure, and thus, the terminal holder who is in danger can request the rescue directly or indirectly. It is possible to prevent the misuse of personal location information that could be overlooked in order to.

In addition, since the validity of the certificate for the location information disclosure is expired after a suitable time, the malicious location information of a third party using the certificate can be blocked in the future, thereby preventing the misuse of personal location information due to the certificate.
