Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the entirety of a repeater system capable of identifying a user according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a repeater capable of identifying a user according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a case where a mobile terminal 50 of an arbitrary user enters a house in a state where a repeater 100 is installed in a specific space (house 10 in this example). Although FIG. 1 illustrates a repeater 100 connected to a base station in a wired manner, it is needless to say that a wireless repeater having a link antenna for wirelessly receiving a base station signal from the outside is also applicable to the present invention.

According to a user-identifiable repeater system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a mobile device (e.g., a mobile device) entering into a predefined specific space (see Figure 10a in Figure 1) (That is, a communication device capable of being carried by a user) by identifying the relay device 100, the user who owns the mobile device can be identified. Therefore, according to such a system, it is possible to easily check the intruder entering into the house, so that it can be utilized as a security system. In addition, when the system is applied within a company or a specific building, information on the passengers entering and leaving the building .

A block diagram of a repeater according to one embodiment of the present invention for implementing such a relay system is shown in FIG. 2, the user-identifiable repeater 100 includes a base station interface unit 110 for connection to an external communication system, a signal / information processing unit 120, a memory 130, an amplifier 142, A low noise amplification unit 144, a filter unit 146, and a service antenna 150.

The amplifier 142, the low noise amplifier 144 and the filter unit 146 amplify and filter the signal to be transmitted to the user equipment UE existing in the internal wireless coverage area through the service antenna 150, And is a well-known component for filtering the signal received from the user equipment to the service antenna 150 and for removing noise, so that a detailed description will be omitted. In the case of a wired repeater in the case of FIG. 2, a configuration for wireless connection with a base station (for example, a link antenna (not shown), an amplifier (Not shown), a low-noise amplification unit (not shown), a filter unit (not shown), etc.) will be added.

Accordingly, in the following description, components (specifically, the reception sensitivity confirmation unit 122, the identification unit 126, and the comparison unit 128) that are specific to the user identification function through the repeater and the related components The control unit 124, and the memory 130) will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 3.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of identifying a user in a repeater according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the relay 100 receives a signal from any user equipment (UE) in the wireless relay coverage (i.e., service coverage) in step S310, the relay 100 having the user identification function according to the embodiment of the present invention, in step S320, The reception sensitivity confirmation unit 122 of the mobile station 100 confirms the reception sensitivity level of the reception signal.

If it is determined in step S330 that the reception sensitivity level of the received signal has a value equal to or higher than a predetermined level (refer to step S330), the identification unit 126 of the repeater 100 determines, in step S340, User device). Here, the unique identification information acquired in step S340 may be the device ID of the user device, the USIM ID, unique information (e.g., telephone number, name, etc.) related to the corresponding device user that can be identified in association with the above IDs have. At this time, the acquired unique identification information of the corresponding user device is used for matching with the legitimate authority identification information (see step S350).

The predetermined reception sensitivity level, which is the reference value in the above-described comparison step S330, may be determined based on the strength (sensitivity) of the received signal when the user's mobile device enters a predefined specific space, It can be set appropriately with reference to the strength of the received signal. For example, if all the rooms in the house are predefined as the security zones 10a for security in the home, as shown in FIG. 1, any user enters the security zones 10a with the mobile device , The sensitivity of the signal received from the mobile device can be set in advance. Therefore, by performing the comparison with these setting values, it is possible to determine whether or not an arbitrary mobile device enters the security zone 10a, and the relay device can be utilized as a security device through the corresponding method. In addition, the above method can be used for the same / similar use in the identification / monitoring of a company in the company, internal security, and commute history management.

If the unique identification information of the user apparatus having the reception sensitivity higher than the predetermined level is obtained according to the result of the comparison in step S330, it is compared with the user identification information of the pre-registered right authority in step S350. A comparison with the legitimate authority's identification information in step S350 may be performed by the comparison unit 128 of the repeater 100. [

Here, the user identification information of the legitimate authority may be stored in advance in the memory 130 of the repeater 100. At this time, the user identification information of the legitimate right stored in the memory 130 may be the same value as the unique identification information obtained in step S340, but it is possible to utilize various deformation values if the unique identification information can be collated with the unique identification information Of course. The user identification information of the rightful authority may be directly registered in advance by a user or an administrator or may be registered in advance in a user device recognized in a specific area predefined when the relay device is initially turned ON according to the system implementation method, Mobile device) as the unique identification information. For example, when a repeater is turned on, if there is a mobile device that is continuously recognized in the home for a predetermined time or longer (for example, about 2 hours or more from 1 am) This is the way to estimate and automatically register it.

Further, depending on the embodiment, the above-described step S350 may be programmed to be performed only in a specific case. For example, step S350 may be performed only when the acquired unique identification information is identification information indicating the mobile device. That is, even if the reception sensitivity is equal to or higher than the predetermined level, if it is the fixed terminal (for example, a PC or smart TV that is constantly fixedly disposed in the home) as a result of checking the unique identification information acquired thereby, It is not necessary to perform the comparison in step S350 because it is a received signal by a device irrespective of confirmation / monitoring. Therefore, it may be implemented to perform step S350 only when the unique identification information indicates the mobile device.

As a result of the comparison at step S350, if the user identification information of the proper authority does not coincide with the user identification information of the proper authority, the control unit 124 of the repeater 100 determines whether the previously designated user or manager A method company, a police station, or the like) or a server of the server. At this time, the notification may transmit the inconsistent unique identification information itself to a remote designated terminal or server, but the information associated therewith (user information associated with the unique identification information, an alarm message informing of the intrusion, a report message, etc.) It is possible. Also, at this time, the unique identification information that does not match may be recorded by the identification unit 126, and the time information at that time may be recorded together for confirmation (recording) of the entrance and exit of the improper person.

As a result of the comparison at step S350, if the user identification information of the proper authority is matched with the user identification information, it is not necessary to perform separate recording or the like. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the access history information of the proper authority is recorded as in step S365. In this case, it can be used for the management of access history in the company (that is, it can be used for commuting check, access history monitoring, etc.). Generally, each company has access control terminals such as fingerprint registration and card registration for access control or commute management, but these existing methods have security limitations due to limitation of places for card installation and card stolen . On the other hand, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention is advantageous in that it can continuously track the mobile device owned by the user through the repeater, thereby overcoming the limitations of the location limitation or existing security.

Although an embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3, a repeater system capable of identifying a user according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be further modified as follows. For example, after the unique identification information or the association information, which is inconsistent with the user identification information of the pre-registered proper authority, is transmitted to the terminal or server of the predefined user or manager, the unique identification information of the inconsistency In the case where the temporary visit permission message relating to the user (the temporary visit allowance message may include information on the temporary visit date and time concerning the visitor of the inconsistent unique identification information) is received, the control unit 124 stores the temporary visit date and time The unique identification information of the corresponding visitor may be registered as the user identification information of the legitimate right during the visit permitted time and may be deleted from the user identification information of the legitimate right when the visit allowed time is ended. This can be used to manage visits by temporary visitors in the company or in your home.

As another example, if the receiving sensitivity from the mobile device that is inconsistent with the user identification information of the legitimate right is initially at or above the predetermined level and then falls below the predetermined level, the control unit 124 can track the position of the mobile device And transmits the unique identification information of the mobile device that is inconsistent with the user identification information to another adjacent relay device and notifies the terminal or the server of the predefined user or manager of the decrease in the reception sensitivity of the mobile device, You may. This could be used to track the movement of unauthorized personnel to another location (i.e., movement beyond service coverage by any one of the repeaters).

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims And changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
