3 is a flowchart illustrating a visitor identification method performed by a visitor terminal device and a user terminal device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, each step of the visitor identification method performed by the visitor terminal device will be described.

First, the visitor terminal device 100 transmits visitor identification information to the user terminal device 200 using the short-range wireless communication (S120). In step S130, the user terminal 200 determines whether the visitor is a visitor scheduled to visit by comparing the visitor identification information with the visitor determination information stored in advance by the user terminal device.

The transmission of the visitor identification information can be performed, for example, by broadcasting the visitor identification information through the near field wireless communication regardless of whether the visitor terminal device 100 exists or not. When the broadcasted visitor identification information is received by the user terminal device 200, the user terminal device 200 compares the visitor identification information with the visitor determination information stored in advance by the user terminal device, It is possible to judge whether or not the visitor is a visitor scheduled to visit. The broadcasting may be performed at predetermined time intervals. The visitor identification method may further include a step S110 of detecting whether the user terminal 200 exists within a predetermined distance range before the visitor identification information is transmitted. The process of detecting whether or not a user terminal device exists within a predetermined distance range can be performed as follows. When the visitor terminal device 100 transmits a search signal for searching the user terminal device 200 and the user terminal device 200 receiving the search signal sends a response signal to the search signal, The detection process can be performed by receiving the response signal. According to the present embodiment, unlike the embodiment in which the broadcasting is performed, when the user terminal device 200 exists within a predetermined distance range, the visitor terminal device 100 notifies the detected user terminal device 200 of the visitor identification Information can be transmitted.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a visitor identification method performed in a user terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, each step of the visitor identification method performed in the user terminal will be described below, and a description overlapping with the case of FIG. 3 may be omitted.

First, the user terminal device 200 receives the visitor identification information from the visitor terminal device 100 (S210). Next, the user terminal device 200 transmits the visitor identification information to the management server 300 through the communication network established with the management server 300 (S220). Then, the user terminal device 200 receives the visitor identity information corresponding to the visitor identification information from the management server 300 (S230). Next, the user terminal 200 determines whether the visitor is a visitor scheduled to visit by comparing the visitor identification information and visitor judgment information stored in advance in the user terminal (S240). Finally, based on the determination, the user is notified of the visit of the visitor (S250).

The process of notifying a user of a visit to a visitor may be implemented by simply generating a notification that can be sensed by only the visual or auditory sense, but may further include notifying the user of the identity of the visitor. Therefore, the user terminal 200 can output a certain type of notification or notify the user of the visitor's identity information only when the visitor is actually a visitor who is scheduled to visit. In addition, the identity information of the visitor may be encrypted, and the encryption may be released only when the visitor corresponding to the visitor identification information is a visitor scheduled to visit, so that the user can view the identity information of the visitor. By doing so, the visitor's personal information can be protected.

When the above steps are performed, the wireless signal transmitted by the visitor terminal device 100 may be received by a plurality of user terminal devices 200 within a certain distance. However, only when the visitor corresponding to the visitor identification information matches the visitor who requested the visit of the user of the user terminal 200, according to the result of comparison between the visitor identification information and the visitor judgment information, the user can know that the visitor has come near And can confirm the identity of the visitor. Therefore, it is possible to prevent personal information of the visitor from being exposed to the user. In addition, since the user can obtain accurate information about the access of the visitor, the visitor can be protected from crime by impersonation of the visitor. Also, when the visitor who transmitted the visitor identification information is not the visitor who requested the visit, It is possible to prevent disturbance of life.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a visitor identification method performed in a user terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, each step of the visitor identification method performed in the user terminal will be described below, and redundant description to those of FIGS. 3 and 4 may be omitted.

The user terminal device 200 requests the management server 300 to transmit the identity information of the visitor who requested the visit from the management server 300 through the communication network established with the management server 300 at step S310. Next, the user terminal 200 receives the identity information from the management server 300 and stores it in the user terminal 200 (S320). Then, the user terminal device 200 receives the visitor identification information of the visitor from the visitor terminal device 100 (S330). Next, in step S340, the user terminal 200 determines whether the visitor is a visitor scheduled to visit by comparing the visitor identification information with visitor judgment information stored in advance by the user terminal device. Finally, based on the determination, the user is notified of the visit of the visitor (S350).

According to the method, all steps after the user terminal device 200 receives and stores the identity information from the management server 300 are all performed in the short distance wireless communication between the visitor terminal device 100 and the user terminal device 200 . Therefore, it is possible to confirm the visitor irrespective of whether or not a problem occurs in the communication network connected to the management server 300. [

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a visitor identification method performed in a user terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. Referring to FIG. 6, each step of the visitor identification method performed in the user terminal will be described below, and a description overlapping with those of FIGS. 3 to 5 may be omitted.

The user terminal device 200 in the present embodiment is characterized in that visitor identification information can be received from the visitor terminal device 100 through short-range wireless communication only when the user terminal device 200 is in the activated state.

First, the user terminal 200 determines whether a preset time for activating wireless communication has arrived (S410). The user terminal device 200 activates the user terminal device 200 so that the user terminal device 200 can receive the visitor identification information of the visitor from the visitor terminal device 100 in step S420. After the activation, the user terminal 200 determines whether the predetermined time has expired (S430). The user terminal 200 receives the visitor identification information of the visitor from the visitor terminal device 100 until the preset time is terminated (S440). Next, in step S450, the user terminal device 200 determines whether the visitor is a visitor scheduled to visit by comparing the visitor identification information with the visitor judgment information stored in advance by the user terminal device. Based on the determination, the user is notified of the visit of the visitor (S460). Finally, when the preset time has expired, the wireless communication function of the user terminal 200 is disabled (S470).

According to an embodiment, the predetermined time may be determined based on a scheduled visit time of a visitor received from the management server 300. [ The scheduled time of the visitor may be determined by reflecting the visit request time of the user. Also, according to the embodiment, the user terminal device 200 may be inactivated when the visitor confirmation is completed even though the predetermined time has not expired.

As described above, by activating the wireless communication function only for a predetermined period of time that a visitor is expected to visit, power consumption due to activation of the wireless communication function can be reduced. In addition, even if the predetermined time period does not expire, the power saving effect can be maximized by deactivating the wireless communication function when the visitor confirmation is completed.

Since the steps of the visitor checking method performed in the visitor terminal device 100 and the visitor checking method performed in the user terminal device 200 are not constrained to the described order, Of course. Further, each step of the method may be performed by an application program driven by the visitor terminal device 100 or the user terminal device 200. [
