Description

USER INTERFACE APPARATUS USING LOCATION AND RHYTHM PATTERN AND LOCK-UP SETTING METHOD OF IN USER INTERFACE APPARATUS USING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a user interface device using a location and a rhythm pattern and a lock setting method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a location and a rhythm that can improve security by reinforcing a password state set to execute a unique function of an application. It relates to a user interface device and a lock setting method using a pattern.

In general, every mobile terminal has a password that is essential for executing its own desired functionality, e.g. each downloaded application or for executing a folder or application in which personal data is stored, such as stored personal data such as contact information or e-mail. The input means of is provided.

The password input means acts as a lock means to prevent the personal information stored in the mobile terminal from being stolen by others when the mobile terminal is lost or to be hacked when connected to an open wireless Internet network. do.

As described above, the setting of a password for serving as a locking means is usually possible by inputting a well-known random number or by combining a number and a letter. In addition, there have been various forms of password input methods. As a representative example, a password input method using voice recognition and rhythm pattern recognition may be used.

However, the password input method through voice recognition is that the voice recognition rate is lowered depending on the surrounding noise, the back music, the voice of the speaker and the microphone position. When the voice recognition rate is lowered, a password recognition error occurs, and there is a problem in that a desired application or a personal data application cannot be performed.

As another example, there is a password input method using a rhythm pattern, and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0987635, a mobile communication terminal using rhythm, is disclosed.

Determining whether or not the rhythm patterns stored in the memory are matched with each other.

However, since the rhythm pattern recognition means disclosed above often sets a well-known rhythm pattern (tone form), the lock state is frequently released if only the rhythm pattern is known. For example, if the rhythm of the tune of Arirang is set to the locked state, it is possible to easily release the locked state simply by knowing that the tune of Arirang is set to the locked state. In this case, the lock setting using the rhythm pattern had a problem of poor security.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, using the rhythm pattern according to the position and the scale pattern of the different positions, by utilizing the number of touches and the touch interval of the scale pattern in the manner of the rhythm pattern security An object of the present invention is to provide an enhanced user interface device and a lock setting method in a user interface device.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention.

First Embodiment

1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user interface device 100 using a position and a rhythm pattern according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the user interface device 100 using the position and the rhythm pattern according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include a lock information storage unit 110, a scale icon display unit 120, and a lock information recognition unit ( 130, the lock information combination unit 140, the lock information determination unit 150, and the application operation unit 160.

The user interface device 100 may be a mobile terminal connected to a wireless internet network, and any device to which a touch type user interface is applied may fall within the scope of the present invention. Hereinafter, when the user interface device 100 is a mobile terminal, each configuration (module) applied to the mobile terminal will be described as an example.

First, the lock information storage unit 110 of the present invention receives and stores lock information selected by a user, and stores the lock information in a kind of internal memory area. Here, the lock information refers to password information input by a user to execute a function application requiring security, and in some cases also refers to information input to release a lock state. Such lock information is used as basic information for determining whether or not a match is made by comparing with lock information generated in each module to be described later.

The lock information storage unit 110 of the present invention receives and stores lock information input by a user, for example, the scale information which is one of the lock information and the rhythm pattern information recognized from the scale information, and also stores each scale information and the rhythm pattern. The information is stored in a combination. Here, the scale information means, for example, one or more scales selected by the user among seven scales (degree, les, me, wave, sol, la, poetry).

In this case, for example, when a scale pattern "me, wave, la, poetry" is selected by the user in turn, the scale information "me, wave, ra, poetry" is stored in the lock information storage unit 110. At this time, since the scale of each scale is present in the scale information of “me, wave, la, poetry”, it is possible to distinguish the patterns of each scale, so that the position of each scale can be determined, together with the determined position, each unique scale When is touched, there is an interval time between the pressed time and the scale. The information may further be defined as rhythm pattern information.

However, the above rhythm pattern information is only shown as an example to explain the meaning, and if there is a musical scale "Mi, wave, la, poetry", the sound itself unique to "Mi, wave, la, poetry" has itself. To be defined as rhythm pattern information. It will be understood that the definition of the rhythm pattern information includes a broader meaning than the limited rhythm pattern information described above.

Next, the scale icon display unit 120 of the present invention serves to display the scale icon having a different scale pattern for each position on the display screen when linking different scale patterns for each position to a shape called scale icons. . In this case, the scale icons displayed on the display screen may be displayed in a shape while having different scale patterns.

One scale icon may be a representative example of a piano keyboard icon. The piano keyboard icon 121 may be represented as shown in FIG. 2, wherein all the scales of FIG. 2, for example, “degree, ré, me, par, sole, la, poetry”, are connected to one piano keyboard icon. Can be represented. All of these scales are merely examples, and other scales that can be expressed on a piano keyboard can also be the subject of the scale pattern of the present invention.

In addition, the scale icon display unit 120 of the present invention may display scale icons having different scale patterns for each position in a separate form on the display screen. Individual forms of the scale icons may be represented as shown in FIG. 4. Reference numeral 122 in FIG. 4 indicates that a plurality of individual scale icons of different scales are displayed on the display screen 101. More details of FIG. 4 will be described later.

Next, the lock information recognition unit 130 of the present invention serves to recognize an arbitrary position of the scale icon generated in response to the user's touch and a rhythm pattern by the arbitrary position. In this case, the arbitrary position means a state in which the user continuously inputs the positions of one or more musical scale patterns designated by the password. In this case, the touch interval generated between the touched time and the touched position may be determined as the rhythm pattern. Determination of such arbitrary positions and rhythm patterns will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion of the piano keyboard icon 121 of the mobile communication terminal 100 of FIG. 2 and illustrates a method of determining a position of a musical scale pattern and a rhythm pattern. As shown, among the seven scales of the piano keyboard icon 121, 'degree 121a', 'me 121b', 'sol 121c', and 'poetry 121d' are continuously touched by the user. In this case, it is determined as a random position by recognizing the scale patterns of the 'degree 121a', the 'me 121b', the 'sol 121c', and the poem 121d.

On the other hand, when the scale patterns of the degrees (121a), the beauty (121b), the brush (121c), and the hour (121d) are respectively touched, each touch time may be determined as a rhythm pattern. The touch time reference is preferably applied to two cases divided into the following cases and the above cases based on a predetermined reference time. However, the touch time may be divided into the above cases.

In addition, the determination of the rhythm pattern may be a time interval between arbitrary positions, for example, a time interval between the degrees 121a and the beauty 121b as the rhythm pattern. The criterion of the time interval may be applied to the two cases divided into the cases below or above the basis of the arbitrarily set reference time, or the case above. In this case, different rhythm patterns are determined.

Determination of the random position and rhythm pattern can generate more complicated cases than the password system of the existing letter / number pattern, which can greatly improve security than the password system of the existing letter / number pattern. Will be able to give. In addition, by applying melody scale and rhythm pattern, users can easily memorize.

Next, the lock information combination unit 140 of the present invention combines (combines) arbitrary position information and rhythm pattern information recognized by the lock information recognition unit 130 to generate lock information. At this time, the lock information is a state of combining (combining) the position information and the rhythm pattern information, the meaning of which is fully discussed in the lock information storage unit 110.

Next, the lock information determination unit 150 of the present invention compares the lock information of the lock information combination unit 140 with the lock information including the scale information and the rhythm pattern information stored in the lock information storage unit 110 to determine whether they match. The function of judging will be performed. For this reason, if the application operation unit 160 of the present invention determines that the lock information determination unit 150 matches, the application operation unit 160 may operate a function application linked thereto.

In this case, the functional application refers to all programs and folders required for security, such as an application program downloaded from a mobile communication server or a medium such as USB, and a personal storage folder.

Finally, the control unit 170 of the present invention is a lock information storage unit 110, scale icon display unit 120, lock information recognition unit 130, lock information combination unit 140, lock information determination unit 150, And it controls the data flow between the application operation unit 160, and further may be involved in the data flow with the system connected by the network environment, such as a mobile carrier server.

Individual scale icon form

FIG. 4 is a view illustrating individual scale icon forms 122 by the scale icon display 120 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a view of FIG. 4 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is an enlarged view for exemplarily explaining the position of the scale pattern and the method of determining the rhythm pattern by the individual scale icon shapes.

First, referring to FIG. 4, the scale icon 122 of the scale icon display 120 according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention separately separates a scale pattern having a different scale for each position and displays the display screen 101. Can be represented. That is, the scale icon having nine different scales from the scale pattern 1 to the scale pattern 9 is displayed on the display screen 101.

The individual scale icons 122, like the piano keyboard icons 121 described above, act as position patterns with inherent rhythms and are utilized to determine any positions selected by the user and rhythm patterns according to the positions. In addition, the scale icon 122 may further have an icon function for setting a lock based on gesture recognition.

This means that the lock state setting (password setting) based on gesture recognition is also possible through the existing lock setting icon type. That is, the conventional gesture recognition may input a password by performing a gesture operation process as shown.

As a result, the individual scale icon 122 of FIG. 4 means that the lock setting icon based on gesture recognition can simultaneously perform the lock setting icon function using the scale pattern, which is the object of the present invention. This simultaneous effect makes it possible to provide stronger security by not distinguishing between gesture-based recognition and rhythm pattern recognition.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, 'tone pattern 2', 'tone pattern 4', 'tone pattern 6', 'tone pattern 2', 'tone pattern 3', among the scale patterns having different scale sizes, If the scale pattern called 'tone pattern 2' is touched by the user continuously, 'tone pattern 2', 'tone pattern 4', 'tone pattern 6', 'tone pattern 2', 'tone pattern 3', 'tone pattern 2 'is recognized and determined as an arbitrary position.

On the other hand, when the patterns of 'tone pattern 2', 'tone pattern 4', 'tone pattern 6', 'tone pattern 2', 'tone pattern 3' and 'tone pattern 2' are touched, It is determined as a rhythm pattern, and the determination of the rhythm pattern may be a time interval between arbitrary positions, for example, a time interval between 'tone pattern 2' and 'tone pattern 4' as the rhythm pattern. Since the touch time and the time interval are sufficiently described above in FIG. 3, they will be omitted here. The touch sequence of the scale pattern described above is merely an example of password input and may be of other forms.

In this manner, the shape of the individual scale icons 122 can be more complicated than the existing password / system of the password / number pattern as in the scale icon form 121 of FIG. 3, thereby greatly improving security. It will give you the advantage.

Second Embodiment

FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a lock setting method (S200) in the user interface device 100 using a position and a rhythm pattern according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lock setting method S200 of the interface apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is a lock setting method using a position and a rhythm pattern. Displaying a scale icon having a pattern in a form or in an individual form (S210), (b) recognizing a rhythm pattern by an arbitrary position and an arbitrary position of the scale icon generated in response to a user's touch ( S220), (c) combining (combining) the recognized arbitrary positions and rhythm patterns to generate lock information (S230), and (d) comparing the generated lock information with a combination of stored scale information and rhythm pattern information. Determining whether or not a match (S240), and (e) if it is determined that the match by the determination result of the step S240, comprising the step of operating the linked functional application to display on the screen (S250). Each of these steps is performed based on each module of the user interface device 100.

In the step S210 of the above steps can be displayed in the form of a musical instrument icon keyboard having a different scale pattern for each position in the form of one scale icon, the lock setting icon based on gesture recognition can be displayed as a separate scale icon.

The piano keyboard icon shape has been fully described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, and the individual scale icon shape having the shape of a lock setting icon based on gesture recognition has been described fully with reference to FIGS. Recall that the same applies to.

On the other hand, in the step S220 of the present invention, when using the lock setting icon based on gesture recognition, with respect to the individual scale icon 122 to which the lock setting icon based on gesture recognition is applied, arbitrary positions and arbitrary positions of the scale icons are applied. The process of recognizing the rhythm pattern is performed.

In this case, the arbitrary position means a state in which the user continuously inputs the positions of one or more musical pattern determined by the password, and the rhythm pattern is a touch interval (time interval generated between the touched position and the arbitrary position). Not only, but also by recognizing the continuous sound rate itself generated according to the positional recognition of the scale pattern.

Since the remaining steps S230 to S250 are processed from the lock information combination unit 140, the lock information determination unit 150, and the application operation unit 160 of FIG. 1, the lock information combination unit 140 and the lock information are described. The contents described in the determination unit 150 and the application operation unit 160 may be sufficiently understood.

In this way, by using the position and rhythm pattern of the scale pattern according to the second embodiment to set a password (locked state), other forms, such as the existing password / number pattern password system and voice password system, etc. This can result in more complex cases than the password system, which contributes to significantly improving the security of the password system.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments or constructions. You can understand that you can do it. The embodiments described above are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
