The camera unit 120 is for inputting video signals or image signals, and may be provided in accordance with a configuration of the device. The camera unit 120 processes an image frame such as a still image or a moving image obtained by the image sensor in the video communication mode or the photographing mode. The processed image frame can be displayed on the display unit 310. [ The image frame processed by the camera unit 120 may be stored in the memory 260 or transmitted to the outside through the wireless communication unit 250.

The microphone receives an external acoustic signal by a microphone in a communication mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, and the like and processes it as electrical voice data. The processed voice data can be converted into a form that can be transmitted to the mobile communication base station through the mobile communication unit and output when the voice data is in the call mode. A variety of noise canceling algorithms may be used to remove the noise generated by the microphone in receiving an external acoustic signal.

The user input unit 110 generates key input data that the user inputs for controlling the operation of the device. The user input unit 110 may include a key pad, a keyboard, a dome switch, a touch pad (static / static), a jog wheel, a jog switch, and a finger mouse. Particularly, when the touch pad has a mutual layer structure with the display unit 310 described later, it can be called a touch screen.

The sensing unit 130 senses the current state of the device such as the open / close state of the device, the position of the device, the presence or absence of the user, and generates a sensing signal for controlling the operation of the device. In addition, the sensing unit 130 may function as an input unit for receiving an input signal for information processing of a device, and may perform various sensing functions such as recognition of connection to an external device.

The sensing unit 130 may include a proximity sensor, a pressure sensor 133, a motion sensor, a fingerprint recognition sensor, an iris recognition sensor 134, a heartbeat detection sensor 135, a skin temperature sensor, , A distance sensor, a Doppler radar, and the like.

The proximity sensor makes it possible to detect the presence of an object to be approached or nearby, without mechanical contact.

The skin temperature sensor measures the skin temperature as the resistance value changes in response to the temperature change. The skin resistance sensor measures the skin's electrical resistance.

The iris recognition sensor 134 performs a function of recognizing a person using iris information of an eye having a characteristic unique to each person. The human iris is completed after 18 months of age, and the circular iris pattern, which is raised near the medial side of the iris, is almost unchanged once determined, and the shape of each person is different. Therefore, iris recognition is the application of information technology to security for information of different iris characteristics. That is, it is an authentication method developed to identify people by analyzing the shape and color of iris and the morphology of retinal capillaries.

The iris recognition sensor 134 encodes a pattern of iris and converts it into a video signal to compare and judge. The general operation principle is as follows. First, when the user's eye is aligned with the mirror located at the center of the iris recognizer at a certain distance, the infrared camera adjusts the focus through the zoom lens. After the iris camera images the user's iris as a photo, the iris recognition algorithm analyzes the iris pattern of the iris region to generate iris codes unique to the user. Finally, a comparison search is performed at the same time that the iris code is registered in the database.

Distance sensors include two-point distance measurement, triangulation (infrared, natural light) and ultrasonic. As in the conventional triangulation principle, when the object to be measured from two paths is reflected by a rectangular prism and incident on two image sensors, the distance between two points is displayed when the relative positions are matched. In this case, there is a method of making natural light (manual type) and a method of emitting infrared rays. The ultrasonic method is a method of transmitting ultrasonic waves having sharp direction to the object to be measured and measuring the time until the reflected wave from the object is received to find the distance. A piezoelectric element is used as the receiving sensor.

The Doppler radar includes a continuous wave radar that transmits and receives a sinusoidal wave that is not pulse-modulated, and a pulse radar that uses a pulse-modulated wave to a square wave as an electromagnetic wave signal waveform.

In the continuous wave radar, the modulation frequency is relatively high in order to obtain the performance of the Doppler frequency filter. Therefore, it is inappropriate for the radar for the long distance, but the motion of the human body and the vehicle is reproduced as a stable sound by adopting the Doppler frequency as the audible frequency band. There is a feature that can be. The pulse radar measures the distance to the target by the time from the pulse transmission to the reflection echo reception. There is a method referred to as a pulse compression laser that performs frequency modulation or phase modulation within the transmission pulse width.

Hereinafter, a method and system for confirming taxi ride information of a passenger using a glass-type wearable device according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of confirming taxi ride information of a passenger using a glass-type wearable device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a method of confirming taxi ride information of a passenger using a glass-type wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: acquiring an image including a taxi approaching a user (S100); Extracting a taxi number of the taxi from the image (S101); (S102) transmitting the vehicle number to an external server to determine whether or not the passenger of the taxi is boarded; Receiving the passenger boarding status information from the external server (S103); And informing the user of the passenger boarding status information (S104). A method of confirming taxi ride information of a passenger using a glass-type wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in order.

An image including a taxi to be accessed by the user is obtained (S100). As shown in FIG. 3, a first camera, which is provided at one side of the front portion of the glass-type wearable device to acquire images or images of the user's front, acquires an image including a taxi license plate that the user approaches in front of the user. That is, since the user walks the glass wearable device and looks at a taxi approaching the user direction, the first camera of the glass wearable device faces the taxi direction. Thus, the first camera acquires an image including a taxi.

A taxi is recognized from the image and a car number of the taxi is extracted (S101).

The vehicle recognition unit of the control unit can recognize and recognize whether or not the color of the vehicle, the taxi display, or the like is attached in the image. A taxi has a specific color, such as orange or silver, so you can check if it is a taxi through the color of the vehicle. In addition, if the color of the taxi differs depending on the color of the taxi in each area, or the color of the taxi according to the grade of the taxi (for example, the model taxi), the color of the taxi can be recognized. In addition, when the exterior color of the cab changes, the color set in the vehicle recognition unit in the control unit can be changed to recognize the cab appropriately.

Further, since the cab attaches the taxi light to the roof of the vehicle, the vehicle recognizing unit can recognize the cab by causing the vehicle within the image acquired by the first camera to find the vehicle with the taxi light. If the shape of the taxi indicator differs depending on the area of operation of the taxi or the name of the taxi indicator or the name of the taxi indicator differs according to the grade of the taxi (for example, a taxi), the taxi indicator The operating area and the grade of the vehicle can be recognized.

However, the method in which the vehicle recognizing unit recognizes the cab from the image acquired by the first camera is not limited thereto, and the recognition can be performed by various features representing the taxi.

After the taxi recognition step, the vehicle identification number of the control unit recognizes the vehicle number attached to the taxi. That is, a character string included in the taxi image is searched.

For example, in Korea, since the license plate 12 has the format 1234, it extracts the character strings within the recognized taxi image. In addition, a character string can be extracted in consideration of the position where the license plate is attached. Since the license plate is generally attached to the bumper, which is the lower end of the vehicle, a character string on the bumper of the vehicle is found and a taxi car number is extracted.

However, the method of recognizing the vehicle number from the image of the recognized taxi is not limited to this, and vehicle number extraction may be performed by a method of extracting characters in various images.

The vehicle number is transmitted to an external server to determine whether or not the cab is occupied (S102). As shown in FIG. 4, the external server receives the passenger boarding status information about whether or not the passenger is caught in the cab by wireless communication from various communication devices of the taxi driver, and performs the function of managing it in real time. That is, the information on whether or not the passenger is boarding can be received from the taxi driver and recorded in real time in the server for each taxi car number.

The wearable wearable device of the user transmits the vehicle number extracted through the wireless communication unit to the external server. Thereafter, the external server searches the passenger boarding status information based on the received vehicle number.

Information on the passenger boarding status is received from the external server (S103). The external server transmits the searched passenger boarding information to the glass wearable device of the user.

And notifies the user of the passenger boarding status information (S104).

A method of notifying the user of the passenger boarding status information may include a method of displaying the passenger boarding status information on a display, a method of notifying a user through a vibration alarm, and a method of notifying a user through voice output. According to the method of displaying on the display, as shown in FIG. 5, the vehicle number and the presence or absence of a passenger in the cab can be visually announced on the display unit of the glass-like wearable device. The system notified by the vibration alarm allows the user to recognize the passenger boarding / non-boarding information by changing the vibration signal in the case where the passenger is present or absent in the cab. In the method of informing the user through the voice output, the acoustic output unit reads the passenger boarding status information, or allows the user to recognize the alarm sound according to the passenger boarding status information. However, the method of notifying the user of the passenger boarding status information is not limited to this, and a notification method that can be implemented by various output methods of the glass type wearable device can be applied.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of confirming taxi ride information of an article using a glass-type wearable device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a method of confirming taxi ride information of an article using a glass-type wearable device according to another embodiment of the present invention includes transmitting (S200) taxi location information of a user to an external server; (S201), based on the user's taxi location information, the presence or absence of a passenger identifying whether or not a passenger of the taxi is boarded; A step S202 of the glass-wearable device receiving the passenger presence / absence information; And informing the user of the passenger presence / absence information (S203). A method of confirming taxi ride information of an article using a glass-type wearable device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in order.

And transmits the taxi location information of the user to the external server (S200). The wearable wearable device of the user transmits positional information to the external server through the wireless communication unit to obtain data based on the position of the cab from the external server. The position information is recognized by the GPS module of the glass-like wearable device.

Based on the taxi location information of the user, it is determined whether or not a passenger is present in the taxi (S201). When the passenger receives the vehicle number of the taxi through the wearable device of the glass type, the external server can receive and manage the position information of the passenger in real time. Accordingly, the external server compares the position of the taxi with the position of the passengers, thereby determining passenger presence information as to whether there is a passenger who wishes to board the taxi around the position of the taxi.

The glass-like wearable device receives the passenger presence / absence information (S202). That is, the glass-like wearable device receives the passenger presence / absence information from the external server through wireless communication.

And informs the user of the passenger presence / absence information (S203). The method of notifying the user of the passenger presence / absence information may include a method of displaying the passenger presence / absence information on the display, a method of notifying the user through vibration alarm, a method of notifying the user through voice output,

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining whether the passenger is present or not is determined by transmitting the taxi car number of the user to the external server. Since the external server is managed for each taxi car number, when the passenger retrieves the car number extracted for the passenger to check whether the passenger is boarding the car, the car number can be recorded on the external server in real time. When the taxi driver transmits the location information to the external server so as to request the passenger presence information, the external server determines that there is a passenger inquiring the taxi by the recorded data, Respectively. In addition, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the car number inquiry record is deleted, and it is possible to prevent an error from being caused by the old record.
