Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an unlocking method for combining numbers and patterns in a mobile terminal,

The present invention relates to an unlocking device and a control method thereof for making it difficult to prevent unlocking leakage of a smartphone, and to generate and control an unlocking password by a combination of numbers and patterns.

Due to the rapid development of communication technology, the functions of mobile terminals have been gradually expanded, and various user interfaces (UI) and various functions using them have been provided accordingly.

In particular, a mobile terminal equipped with a touch screen is equipped with various methods of input device lock / unlock functions to limit unnecessary input errors in a standby state or to restrict use by other users. Generally, the mobile terminal performs a lock function only when the activation of the lock function is selected by the user. For this purpose, the user can select one of locking schemes such as a pattern, a numeric PIN, and a password to set a locking function of the mobile terminal.

In the case of a mobile terminal having a lock function, the lock function is activated when there is no input from the user for a predetermined period of time. Accordingly, if the user does not input the specific function of the mobile terminal for a predetermined period of time, the screen or function of the mobile terminal becomes inactive. At this time, the conventional mobile terminal releases the lock mode by predefined for releasing the lock mode, for example, the touch screen hold state, or by the password input defined by the setting of the user.

As described above, the mobile terminal activates the lock function every time the waiting time for waiting for user input elapses. In recent years, transactions of funds such as bank transfer, stock trading, and purchase of goods have been actively conducted using smart phones.

In addition, when a user sets a complicated password or pattern to enhance the security of the mobile terminal, a lot of effort is required compared with the case of releasing the lock function using a simple password or pattern. Conversely, if you use a simple password or pattern to reduce hassle, you may be exposed to a third party or there may be a security issue. Therefore, there is a need for a user authentication of a simple mobile terminal, which is capable of maintaining high security by preventing unintended input errors or theft by a third party, which is the original purpose of the locking function.

Therefore, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for releasing a locking function of a mobile terminal more conveniently.

The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for authenticating a locking function of a mobile terminal by combining numbers and patterns so that a user can provide a high level of security using information that he normally knows.

The present invention also provides a method and apparatus for a number and pattern keypad capable of inputting numbers and patterns from a single keypad to quickly and simply input the numbers and patterns.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of unlocking a combination of a number and a pattern in a mobile terminal, the method comprising the steps of: receiving an unlock command combining a number and a pattern from a user after setting a lock mode; Comparing the received lock release command with a lock release command set by a combination of a pattern and a pattern, and releasing the lock mode when the comparison result indicates that the order and the value of the number and pattern coincide with each other .

According to the present invention, when a user sets up an authentication password by combining a 4-digit number and a pattern, there are about 20 billion cases, so that the security is much higher than that of a conventional number and six- . On the other hand, users do not have to memorize new password entries, they are easy to forget, easy to input and easy to input.

In addition, according to the present invention, the numeric keypad and the pattern image keypad can be integrated into one keypad and inputted, respectively, so that it is possible to input quickly and simply without switching between the numeric keypad and the pattern keypad.

Authentication password leakage is difficult. It is difficult for a third party to remember to input all four digits of the password and the pattern image in succession.

Entering the authentication password is simple and short. One number and one pattern can be entered sequentially on the same keyboard keypad.

When the smartphone is lost, it is difficult to identify the combination of the four digits and the pattern, so the unlock code is not leaked.

It is composed of four digits and a familiar element of patterns, but the number of security and cases is very high. There are about 20 billion cases.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit 11, a memory 12, a display unit 13, an input unit 14, and a communication unit 15. FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration example of a mobile terminal for convenience of explanation. However, the mobile terminal of the present invention is not necessarily limited to the above configuration. In addition, examples of the mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention may be any device that requires user lock such as a personal computer, a notebook, a digital sound reproducing device, a portable multimedia player (PMP)

First, the memory 12 stores various data generated and utilized in the mobile terminal. Such data includes data generated according to the application execution of the mobile terminal, all types of data that can be generated using the mobile terminal, received from the outside, and stored. Particularly, the data according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a user interface provided in the mobile terminal, various setting information according to the use of the mobile terminal, and information on the lock password setting in which numbers and patterns are combined. The information on the setting of the lock password includes a keypad for inputting a number and a pattern in a mixed manner, the number and number of patterns as the authentication code, the respective input values, and the display method of the pattern image.

The display unit 13 may be formed of a liquid crystal display (LCD), and displays menus, input data, function setting information, and various other information of the mobile terminal. The display unit 13 displays a mixed keypad or a numeric keypad and a pattern keypad screen, which are capable of inputting numbers and patterns mixedly when the display unit 13 is controlled to be turned on in the lock mode.

The input unit 14 includes a hardware keyboard configured by a plurality of numeric keys and pattern keys for receiving commands from a user. The display unit 13 and the input unit 14 may be implemented as a touch screen. In this case, the input unit 14 senses a user's touch input through a virtual keyboard or the like displayed on the touch screen, (11). The input unit 14 generates a touch event corresponding to an unlock command of a predetermined encryption value in a state where a screen related to unlocking the mobile terminal is displayed on the touch screen, and transmits the touch event to the controller 11. The unlock command of the predetermined cipher value includes a drag signal for inputting a predetermined pattern, a touched key corresponding to a number, and the like.

The input unit 14 includes a combination keypad including a numeric keypad of numbers 0 to 9 and a pattern keypad of 9 points of 3 * 3 or a pattern keypad of 12 points of 3 * 4 .

Also, the input unit 14 includes at least one of a ring-shaped circle, an ellipse, and a rectangular shape indicating a pattern key, and includes a key in which a number is written in the pattern key.

The input unit 14 inputs numbers in accordance with the start and completion of the touch of the key on the user's keypad, and completes and inputs the pattern according to the start and completion of the drag.

Also, when the user touches the input unit 14, the number of the touched point is input and the keypad is maintained.

In addition, when the drag is detected, the input unit 14 inputs a corresponding drag image as a pattern but keeps the keypad as it is, a method of inputting the drag image as a pattern but displaying a chain (trajectory) of the pattern, The keypad is switched to the pattern keypad, and when the pattern input is completed according to the end of the drag, the keypad can be switched to the original mixed keypad.

The keypad of the input unit 14 may include a numeric keypad and a pattern keypad, respectively, and a keyboard may be switched using a tab or the like. Another method is to use mixed, mixed, and mixed forms including numbers on the pattern key. The pattern is composed of 12 points and the number is 10, so one pattern key is assigned to one pattern key.

Also, the input unit 14 may include two keypads, the first keypad may be a pattern keypad, and the second keypad may include a numeric keypad. In this case, the first keypad and the second keypad are switched using the screen flipping (page turning) function (Figs. 20 to 21) or the tab (TAB) (Figs. 22 to 23).

On the other hand, if the keypad switching method is turned to the left or to the right, the first and second key patters are alternately switched regardless of the direction of turning to the right and left. When a first tab TAB is selected, a first keypad is displayed and a numeric keypad is selected. When a second tab TAB is selected, a second keypad is displayed and a pattern keypad can be displayed.

For example, if the user inputs <8, 4, pattern, 3, 9> as the authentication code on the input unit 14, the input unit 14 outputs the detection result for <8, 4, pattern 3, 9> (11).

The input unit 14 is a 3 * 4 type numeric keypad or a pattern keypad. A pattern key and a numeric key are combined, and a numeral is displayed on a circle representing a pattern key, or a pattern key is superimposed on a numeric key to be displayed as a mixed key.

When the user touches a specific combination key on the keypad, the user inputs a corresponding number, and if the user presses a specific combination key, the user inputs a pattern.

When the user drags the keypad, a dragged trajectory is displayed to allow the user to view the dragging process, a dragged key is switched to a pattern, and a keypad is switched to a pattern keypad. You can set the input method.

If the user does not want to expose the pattern image in order to completely block the exposure of the authentication password, the keypad remains unchanged even when the pattern is generated by dragging, so that the third person can not see the image dragged Can be set and used.

The communication unit 15 transmits and receives voice signals necessary for the call function and data necessary for data communication under the control of the control unit 11. [

The control unit 11 performs an overall control function for the mobile terminal and controls the signal flow between the respective components. Specifically, the control unit 11 controls the input unit 14 to detect a touch by a user after switching to the lock mode according to an embodiment of the present invention. Accordingly, the control unit 11 recognizes an unlock command such as a pattern of movement of the touch position, a numeric key corresponding to the touch position, and the like, and decides whether or not to release the lock in response to the unlock command. Also, the control unit 11 controls the display unit 13 to provide a user interface corresponding to the recognized movement pattern of the touch position.

The operation in the control unit 11 can control the overall operation of the present invention as described below with reference to FIGS. The control of the control unit 11 may be implemented by software to handle the operation of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the user can set the unlock setting function through selection of items related to the unlock setting among various items of the unlock setting menu.

In step 200, the terminal determines whether the unlock setting menu of the combination of numbers and patterns using the keypad with numbers and patterns is selected by the user. If the unlock setting menu is selected, a number and pattern combination keypad 14 for the unlock setting are displayed. For example, a numeric keypad 14 and a pattern keypad 14 for inputting a combination of numbers and patterns according to an embodiment of the present invention are displayed.

If the user touches the number on the keypad 14 in step 205, the controller 11 receives the corresponding number of the key touched in step 210. [ If the user drags the keypad on the keypad 14 in step 215, the controller 11 recognizes the input of the pattern in step 220 and receives the pattern image. When the user completes the input of numbers and patterns and commands the unlock setting (registration) in step 225, the controller 11 stores the numbers and patterns input by the user in the memory 12 in step 230, And stores it as an unlock password. When the unlock setting is completed through this process, the unlock setting registration process in which the number and the pattern are combined ends.

On the other hand, the unlocking is a series of password values set by the user, which can be set by the user, and includes values and order of numbers or patterns set by the user, and the number of passwords is set by the user. If the user does not determine the number of ciphers separately, it is needless to say that the preset values are applied to the mobile terminal.

For example, the user can select a combination of numbers and patterns by unlocking, and select a total of five unlocking schemes, four numbers and one pattern.

Accordingly, when the user selects the unlocking method of the combination of numbers and patterns by unlocking, the control unit displays the keypad with the number and pattern combination 14. When the user presses the number 8, it recognizes as 8. When the user presses the number 4, 4, pattern, 3, 9>. When the user presses the numbers 3 and 9 and selects the save button, And stores the password as an unlocking authentication password in the combination of numbers and patterns in the memory 12 in the form of <8, 4, pattern, 3, 9>.

Hereinafter, the numbers and numbers using the keypad of the number and pattern combination

As the operation of setting the unlock pattern combination is completed, the operation of authenticating the unlocking of the combination of numbers and patterns using the keypad of numbers and patterns in the terminal will be described.

FIG. 3 illustrates an authentication method using an unlocking of a combination of numbers and patterns using a keypad with a number and a pattern in a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 400, the terminal determines whether there is a user input in a waiting state waiting for an unlock input. If there is a user input, in step 405, if the user touches the key on the keypad, the controller 11 inputs the corresponding number touched in step 410. [ If the user drags the keys on the keypad in step 415, the controller 110 recognizes the input of the pattern in step 420 and inputs the pattern. When the unlocking input of the user is completed in step 425, the controller 110 receives the unlock input information of the number and pattern combination input in step 430 and the unlock information stored in the memory 120 Compare whether they match. If it is determined in step 435 that the comparison results match, the controller 110 releases the lock in step 440.
