Hereinafter, a specific driver authentication method of the present invention will be described.

3 is a flowchart schematically showing a driver authentication method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the driver authentication method according to the present invention registers beacon information and driver terminal identification information of a beacon transmitter installed in a vehicle in a memory of a recording device.

More specifically, the beacon transmitter of the beacon transmitter and the automobile identification information (car number) in which the beacon transmitter is installed are stored in a memory of a recording device installed in the vehicle, and the identification information ex, Telephone number) as driving information in the driver identification DB.

Here, the driving information is automobile identification information (car number) having the driving authority of the driver. When a plurality of drivers share the same vehicle, the manager can set the conditions for the same vehicle, and in this case, the information including the driving condition information can be registered. For example, in the case of a rental car, the driving privilege is given only to a specific automobile within a predetermined period, and in the case of a taxi or bus transportation business, the driving privilege is given to a specific automobile only at a predetermined time. Therefore, it is possible to specify and register the operation condition information such as the period during which the operation is permitted, the time, and the like.

When the dictionary information for driver authentication is registered in the recording device, the system setting for driver authentication is completed. Here, the dictionary information can be directly registered in the recording apparatus, but can be downloaded and installed from the management server.

The present invention relates to a system for authenticating whether a driver is authorized to operate, and is a system independent of a smart key used for theft prevention purpose.

When the setting is completed as described above and the driver starts the operation and satisfies the authentication condition, the beacon transmitter transmits beacon information.

The authentication condition may be a time, a speed, a distance, or a combination thereof in order to start beacon information transmission.

For example, an authentication condition may be set in advance through the beacon information control module of the beacon transmitter, such as 10 minutes after turning on the power, 5km of travel distance, 60km or more of traveling speed, and the like.

The reason for setting the authentication condition as described above is that the beacon information transmission is blocked when the driver is not driving to minimize the battery consumption and the driver is set to operate the driver who is not authorized to drive for a while such as the valet parking or the valet parking .

If the authentication condition is satisfied, the beacon information transmission module of the control unit periodically transmits the beacon information.

The driver terminal receives beacon information transmitted by the beacon transmitter through Bluetooth, and an authentication application is executed.

More specifically, the beacon transmitter periodically transmits the beacon transmitter ID as beacon information, and the driver terminal within the BLE coverage receives the beacon information. Herein, the beacon information may further include an RSSI value capable of positioning the indoor position.

In the case of transmission including the RSSI value, a plurality of persons are aboarded in the vehicle and the driver terminal can be specified by the positional positioning even if there are a plurality of terminals. To this end, the beacon transmitter is preferably installed close to the driver's seat.

When the beacon information is received at the driver terminal as described above, the authentication application is automatically executed. If the authentication application can directly transmit / receive data to / from the recording apparatus, the identification information (ex, telephone number) If direct data transmission / reception with the recording apparatus is impossible, authentication information including beacon information and identification information (ex, telephone number) of the driver terminal is transmitted to the management server.

Here, in the latter case, the authentication application is automatically executed, but the driver is automatically configured to transmit the authentication information to the authentication server according to the input program without any involvement, so that the driver does not recognize whether or not the authentication application is executed, .

When the management server receives the authentication information from the authentication application, the management server identifies the recording device by matching the received beacon information with the stored beacon information and the mapped vehicle identification information to extract matching vehicle identification information, Identification information is transmitted.

When the driver terminal identification information is received in the recording apparatus, the driver authentication unit of the recording apparatus compares the driver identification DB stored in the memory with the received driver terminal identification information, and performs driver authentication according to whether or not the driver identification information matches.

Here, the memory may be configured to include a vehicle identification DB including registered beacon transmitter identification information, mapped vehicle identification information, identification information of a registered driver terminal, and a driver identification DB including mapped operation information And the driving information may include vehicle identification information and driving condition information.

Here, the driver authentication unit determines that the authentication fails if the driver terminal identification information is not received or there is no matching information with the driver terminal identification information even though the set time (for example, one minute) has elapsed.

If the authentication fails, the driver authentication unit may send an alarm with the authentication failure message to the driver or manager having the authorized party through the alarm module to notify that the unauthorized driver is driving.

More specifically, when the authentication fails, the driver authentication unit sends a push alarm notification to the management server to notify the driver terminal having the operation authority to the operation authority, and the management server transmits an authentication failure message to the driver terminal do.

When the operation continues without any action even though the authentication failure message is transmitted to the authorized driver terminal, the driver authentication unit secondarily transmits a push alarm notification to the management server informing the administrator terminal of the authentication failure, The authentication failure message can be transmitted to the administrator terminal.

Since the recording device stores the driving data indicating the situation inside and outside the vehicle in real time in the recording DB through the camera, the recording device records the driving data, the GPS information, and the like stored in the recording DB together with the push alarm notification, Since it can be transmitted to the management server, the operation status of the unauthorized driver can be confirmed in real time, so that it can be very useful when unauthorized driving or theft occurs.

If the driver terminal identification information is received from the plurality of terminals, the driver authentication unit compares all of the plurality of authentication information to perform authentication. If there is matching authentication information among the plurality of authentication information, the driver authentication unit determines that the authentication is successful. When receiving an RSSI value, it is possible to determine whether or not the driver is actually driving by determining the seat of an authenticated driver through the distance positioning. Here, the relative distance can be measured through the RSSI value and the position information (GPS) of the terminal, and the terminal of the driver sitting in the driver's seat can be extracted.

FIG. 4 schematically shows a driver authentication system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

First, the database of the authentication server includes a driver identification DB including the registered beacon transmitter identification information, the vehicle identification DB including the mapped vehicle identification information, the registered driver terminal identification information, and the mapped operation information Lt; / RTI > Here, the driving information may include vehicle identification information and driving condition information.

Accordingly, the beacon information among the authentication information received through the authentication application identifies the automobile by comparing with the automobile identification DB, and the driver terminal identification information among the received authentication information is compared with the driver identification DB to identify the driver.

Here, the beacon transmitter management unit of the authentication server may be configured to transmit data through the data communication module formed in the beacon transmitter. Even if the beacon transmitter transmits the beacon information, although the set time (for example, one minute) When the authentication information is not transmitted from the terminal to the authentication server, the driver authentication unit determines that the authentication has failed.

When the vehicle and the driver are identified, it is determined whether or not the identified vehicle identification information matches the stored vehicle identification information mapped with the driver identification information. If they match, the driver authentication unit determines that the driver authentication is successful, The driver judges that the authentication has failed because the driver is not authorized to operate.

If the authentication is successful, the driving history information can be integrated and managed by upgrading the driving history to the database.

If the authentication is unsuccessful, the driver authentication unit can notify the driver or the manager having the authorized party with an authentication failure message and notify that the unauthorized driver is driving.

Since the recording device stores the driving data representing the inside and outside of the vehicle in real time in the recording DB through the camera, the driving data, GPS information, and the like stored in the recording DB can be transmitted to the management server. Since it can confirm the driving situation in real time, it can be very useful when unauthorized driving or theft occurs.

If authentication information is received from a plurality of terminals, the authentication server compares all of the plurality of pieces of authentication information to perform authentication. If there is matching lower authentication information among the plurality of pieces of authentication information, it is determined that the authentication is successful. , It is possible to determine whether or not the driver is actually driving by determining the seat of the driver who is authenticated through the distance positioning. Here, the relative distance can be measured through the RSSI value and the position information (GPS) of the terminal, and the terminal of the driver sitting in the driver's seat can be extracted.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
