The lamp 142 blinks the light according to a preset notification mode to notify the departure of the device 130.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an operating method for preventing the loss of a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the smartphone accesses the application server in step 201.

In step 203, the smartphone downloads and executes the anti-lost application from the application server. Here, the anti-lost application manages the deviation of the radial distance to the plurality of devices in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the situation of missing children of the person wearing the device, the loss of the animal / article equipped with the device It is an application to prevent the occurrence of / theft situation, lost / stolen situation of the smartphone.

In step 205, the smartphone searches for a plurality of peripheral devices capable of Bluetooth communication, which can be managed through the anti-lost application, and registers the retrieved multiple devices to the anti-lost application. Here, the search for a plurality of devices capable of Bluetooth communication broadcasts an inquiry signal and, when a response signal is received, to at least one device (eg, up to eight devices) that transmitted the response signal. This is done by displaying information about the display unit. The device information includes, for example, a serial number assigned to the device itself. If the user wants to use the device name assigned by the user as the device information displayed on the display unit, the smartphone receives a device name to be assigned to the device from the user, and then the corresponding device name is assigned. Can be used as information about the device.

In operation 207, the smartphone establishes a Bluetooth communication channel with the registered plurality of devices.

In operation 209, the smart phone transmits information about a power level corresponding to a preset radius distance to the plurality of devices. Here, the radial distance is a distance that a plurality of devices can move around the smartphone, and may be preset to a default value or a value input by the user. For example, if the preset radial distance is 1 to 2 m, the smart phone may transmit information about the first power level corresponding to the 1 to 2 m radial distance to the plurality of devices. Accordingly, the plurality of devices transmit a periodic signal at the corresponding power level.

In operation 211, the smartphone monitors signals from the plurality of devices in real time. If the signal transmitted at the corresponding power level by each device is monitored by the smartphone, the smartphone may determine that the device exists within a preset radius distance, and transmitted by the respective device at the corresponding power level. If the signal is not monitored by the smartphone, it may be determined that the device has deviated from the preset radius distance.

In operation 213, the smartphone determines whether there is a device that deviates from a predetermined radius distance among the plurality of devices based on signals from the monitored plurality of devices.

In step 213, when it is determined that there is no device out of a predetermined radius distance among the plurality of devices, the smartphone returns to step 211 and repeats the following steps.

In contrast, when it is determined in step 213 that there is a device that deviates from a preset radius distance among the plurality of devices, the smartphone determines that the device deviates from the preset radius distance, that is, mounts the device. In step 215, a signal indicating the departure of the device is output and a departure notification signal is output to the corresponding device. Send information to control. Here, the departure notification signal is output through at least one of a speaker for generating sound waves, a vibration motor for generating vibration, a lamp for blinking light, and a display unit for displaying the notification contents according to a preset notification mode. For example, the smartphone may display information on a device that is out of a predetermined radial distance (for example, a serial number assigned to the device itself or a device name given by a user) on a display unit, and Sound waves may be generated to inform the deviation, vibration may be generated, or light may blink. Here, the notification mode may be preset to a default mode or a mode selected by a user.

In step 217, the smartphone checks whether a confirmation key indicating that the departure notification signal for the corresponding device has been confirmed is input within the predetermined time.

When it is determined in step 217 that a confirmation key indicating that the departure notification signal for the corresponding device is checked within the predetermined time, the smartphone determines that the user has confirmed the departure for the corresponding device through the smartphone. In step 211, the following steps are repeated.

In contrast, when it is determined in step 217 that the confirmation key indicating that the departure notification signal for the corresponding device has been checked is not input within the predetermined time, the smartphone determines that the smartphone is lost or stolen. Set the auto lock to prevent the smartphone from being used by other users in the step.

In operation 221, the smartphone acquires location information of the smartphone itself. Here, the location information of the smartphone may be obtained through a GPS (GPS) receiver located inside or outside the smartphone.

In operation 223, the smartphone transmits the acquired smartphone location information to another preset contact. Here, the other contact information includes at least one of a telephone number (for example, another telephone number of a user, a telephone number of an acquaintance, an emergency telephone number such as 112 or 119), an email address, and is preset by a user input. . In this case, a password for releasing the lock may be transmitted to the other contact together with the location information.

Then, the smartphone terminates the algorithm according to the present invention.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operating method for preventing the loss of a device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the device forms a Bluetooth communication channel with the smartphone in step 301.

In operation 303, the device checks whether information on power level is received from the smartphone.

When it is determined in step 303 that information on the power level is received from the smartphone, the device transmits a periodic signal at the corresponding power level in step 305.

In operation 307, the device checks whether information for controlling to output the departure notification signal for the device is received from the smartphone.

In step 307, when it is determined that the information for controlling the output of the departure notification signal for the device is received from the smartphone, the device outputs a signal indicating the departure of the device itself in step 309. Here, the departure notification signal is output through at least one of a speaker for generating sound waves, a vibration motor for generating vibration, a lamp for blinking light, and a display unit for displaying the notification contents according to a preset notification mode.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step 307 that information for controlling the output of the departure notification signal for the device is not received from the smartphone, the device returns to step 305 and repeats the following steps.

The device then terminates the algorithm according to the invention.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.
