The touch sensor can be configured to detect not only the position and area to be touched but also the pressure at the time of touch.

If there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched or the like.

Examples of events that occur in the mobile terminal include call signal reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. The alarm unit 153 may output a signal for notifying the occurrence of an event in a form other than the video signal or the audio signal, for example, vibration. The video signal or the audio signal may also be output through the display unit 151 or the audio output unit 152.

The haptic module 154 generates various tactile effects that the user can feel. A typical example of the haptic effect generated by the haptic module 154 is vibration. The intensity and pattern of the vibration generated by the hit module 154 can be controlled. For example, different vibrations may be synthesized and output or sequentially output.

2 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for driving an electronic device according to the present invention. Hereinafter, the driving method will be described with reference to necessary drawings.

First, a user identification means for a specific site and a rule for generating password for the specific site are obtained (S100). The user identification means may be a user ID for the specific site. In addition, the password generation rule for the specific site may include limitation of the number of characters constituting the password, whether special characters are included, a combination of alphabets and numbers, repetition of the same numbers or characters, and the like. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the user identification means and the password generation rule for the specific site may be inputted or selected by the user through the user input unit 130. In addition, the password generation rule for the specific site may be actively obtained by the control unit 180 of the electronic device 100. Here, the encryption rule for the specific site may be stored in advance in the memory 160, or may be directly obtained by the control unit 180 connected to the specific site.

Referring back to FIG. When the user identification means and the password generation rule for the specific site are acquired, the control unit 180 of the electronic device 100 automatically generates a password consisiting random character string in accordance with the password generation rule S110).

If the random string cipher is generated, the controller 180 provides a graphical user interface for setting a preliminary cipher corresponding to the random string cipher through the display unit 151, Is set to correspond to the random string cipher (S120).

In the future, the preliminary cipher is used to invoke a random string cipher. Here, if a preliminary cipher corresponding to the random string cipher is set as a cipher that is easy to memorize, a random string cipher for a specific site can be easily called in the future. It is convenient to remember only the redundant password without separately storing the complex random string password.

If the preliminary cipher is set, the controller 180 matches the user identification means, the random string cipher, and the preliminary cipher to the specific site and stores it in the memory 160 (S130).

Then, when the preliminary password is received in the process of accessing the specific site, the control unit 180 calls the random string password from the memory 160 to generate a password corresponding to the user identification means for the specific site (S140).

FIG. 3 shows a process of generating and storing a cipher according to the electronic device driving method shown in FIG.

In step S100, a specific site address (URL, Uniform Resource Locator) input by a user, a user's ID, and a password generation rule are received. The electronic device 100 may provide a graphical user interface for inputting such information through the display unit 151. [

On the other hand, the identification means of the specific site may be the address of the site as well as the name of the specific site corresponding thereto. For example, the identification means corresponding to the portal site "Naver" may be the name "Naver" or "Naver" or the URL "www.naver.com".

The cryptographic creation rule corresponding to the specific site may not be based on a user's input. For example, the controller 180 may call one of the password generation rules stored in advance in the memory 160 and use it to generate a random string password for the specific site. In some cases, the control unit 180 may directly access the specific site and acquire a corresponding encryption generation rule.

When the above-described information is received in step S100, the control unit 180 generates a random string password based on the received password generation rule in step S110. At this time, the controller 180 may separately manage the generation time of the random string cipher. In some cases, the control unit 180 may use the generation time as data for generating a random string cipher.

"W3 $ fpZds" shown in FIG. 3 is the random string cipher generated in step S110. If the random string cipher is generated, the controller 180 receives a spare cipher to be used for calling the random string cipher in step S120. At this time, the controller 180 may further perform a user interfacing operation for setting a hint corresponding to the preliminary encryption.

Then, in step S130, a password management tool is executed to store the user identification means, the random string password, and the preliminary password in the specific site. Then, when the user accesses the specific site in the future, the user can input the preliminary password and call a random string password corresponding to the preliminary password, thereby applying the preliminary password as a password corresponding to the user ID corresponding to the specific site.

As we have seen above, it would be very convenient to use a pre-configured password with a familiar string that is less likely to be forgotten by the user. Furthermore, the security aspect can be enhanced by the two-step procedure of inputting the preliminary string and calling the actual cipher based thereon.

4 shows that a graphical user interface for setting a password generation rule for a specific site is provided on the display unit 151 of the electronic device 100 according to the electronic device driving method shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, the graphical user interface 151A provided by the electronic device 100 for setting a password generation rule for a specific site by the user includes a list of selectable lower password generation rules Able to know.

The user can select at least one of the sub-password generation rules and select an OK button 151A1 to set a password generation rule for the specific site. In some cases, when the confirmation button 151A1 is selected, generation of the random character string to which the generated password generation rule is applied may be performed.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which an electronic apparatus 100 according to the present invention manages encryption generation rules corresponding to a plurality of sites.

Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that cryptographic generation rules for a plurality of sites are managed in the electronic device 100, and a user interface for selecting the cryptographic generation rules can be provided. The plurality of sites may be previously registered in a site frequently used by the user, and the plurality of sites may be sites extracted by analyzing the usage pattern of the user by the control unit 180. [

On the other hand, when the user selects a specific site among the plurality of sites in the user interface 151C, a process for generating a random string cipher for the selected specific site can be performed. Also, when generating random string passwords for sites other than the plurality of sites, the user can select a specific site among the plurality of sites and generate a randomization rule corresponding to the selected site using a random string corresponding to the site It can also be used to generate passwords.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a process in which access to a specific site is performed according to the electronic device driving method shown in FIG.

6 (a) shows a list of a plurality of sites to be managed by the encryption provided by the electronic device 100. As shown in Fig. For each of the plurality of sites, a user identification means, a random string cipher, and a redundant cipher are stored in a matching manner with the site.

A touch on the specific site "Shinhan Bank" is received from the list. Then, the control unit 180 of the electronic device 100 provides a user interface for inputting a preliminary password for the selected site, as shown in FIG. 6 (b). The user interface may display a hint that the user matches with the preliminary password for the selected site.

Referring to FIG. 6 (b), it can be seen that the user's desk number is set by the hint corresponding to the preliminary password. Then, the user can easily input the preliminary password by looking at the password. However, given the security concerns, these hints may be set not to match the actual spare password.
