The administrator can check the location information of the user and the request for issuing the release code from the administrator portable terminal 300, and can select whether or not to unlock the electric device. For example, the issuance of a release code may be refused for a specific electrical device or for a release request at a certain time zone. For example, when there is a request for a release code for an important electrical facility, if the user is far away from the release target device, it can be determined that the release target device is misidentified or unauthorized and the release code issuance can be rejected.

On the other hand, the manager portable terminal 300 can set the release time with respect to the corresponding release code. 3 is an application page diagram showing an example of setting an application time of a release code on the administrator portable terminal in the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the release code management application 350 installed in the administrator portable terminal 300 displays the release time setting page 360 at the time of release of the release code. On the release time setting page 360, a release target device display item 361, a release start time setting item 362, a release end time setting item 364, a release code issue item 366, 368) is displayed.

The release object device display item 361 displays the release object device requesting the release of the release code from the user portable terminal 200. [ In the illustrated example, the unlocking target device is a PC. The administrator inputs the release start time through the release start time setting item 362 using the user interface such as the TUI (Touch User Interface) while confirming the release target device, or inputs the release start time through the release end time setting item 364 You can enter a time. It is also possible to input only one of the two items (for example, just inputting the release end time), or not both the release start and the end. Thereafter, the release code issuance item 366 may be tabbed to set the release start time, the end time, or the release period upon issuance of the release code. Of course, the rejection code issuance may be blocked by inputting the rejection item 368. [

For example, if a parent controls a child's use of a PC at a remote location, the parent may choose to issue a release code from the child's smartphone in response to a release request. In this case, the parent may limit the application time of the release code to midnight or limit the application of the release code to a total of two hours. As another example, when applied to a vehicle rental system, the landlord can issue a release code by limiting the release code for releasing the lock state of the start-on / off switch of the vehicle during the rental period, May use the vehicle for the period of the reservation or the period of the rent. If the vehicle is to be extended and used thereafter, an updated unlocking code may be newly issued and used as described later.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an example of communication of a release code between a user portable terminal and a control module according to the present invention. The PC 130 is exemplified as an electrical device.

4, the control module 100 includes a microcomputer 160, an on / off switch lock unit 170, a release code storage unit 175, a wireless tag reader 180, (185), and a release code updating unit (190).

The on / off switch lock part 170 blocks the operation of the on / off switch provided in the electric device. For example, the on / off switch lock portion 170 may be a locking device that physically disconnects the operation of the on / off switch by an electrical signal. As another example, the on / off switch lock portion 170 may be means for disconnecting / releasing the on / off switch of the electric device by the relay. The release code storage means 175 is a memory means for storing a release code.

The wireless tag reader 180 reads the wireless tag 210 installed in the user portable terminal 200 when the user portable terminal 200 approaches within a wireless radius. For example, the radio tag 210 is an NFC (Near Field Communication) tag, and the radio tag reader 180 is an NFC tag reader. Of course, the wireless tag 210 and the wireless tag reader 180 may be replaced with other short-range wireless communication means.

The release code determination unit 185 determines whether the release code stored in the wireless tag 210 matches the release code previously stored in the release code storage unit 175 and determines whether the on / Maintain or release lock status. The unlock code updating unit 190 removes the unlock code used after the operation of the unlock code determining unit 185 and generates and stores a new unlock code.

4, the control module 100 reads the wireless tag 210 from the user portable terminal 200 when the user portable terminal 200 is close (step 3). Then, it is determined whether or not the release code stored in the wireless tag 210 matches the release code previously stored by the release code determination unit 185. If the release code matches the release code, the lock state of the on / If it does not match, it keeps locked. Although not shown, if the unlocking codes do not match, the control module 100 may operate a buzzer to output a warning sound or light a warning light to warn unauthorized operation.

Next, the user mobile terminal 200 is notified of whether or not the release code is matched (step 4). When the lock state of the on / off switch is released by the on / off switch lock part 170 so that the user can use the electric device (step 5), the release code updating part 190 of the control module 100 updates Removes the used unlock code, generates a new unlock code, and transmits it to the user portable terminal 200 (step 6).

5 is a block diagram illustrating a process in which a revocation code updated by a user portable terminal is relayed in the present invention. The revocation code relay application 250 of the portable terminal 200 of the user updates the update To the manager portable terminal 300 (step 7). At this time, the releasing code relaying app 250 does not store the updated releasing code itself, and relays the releasing code to the administrator portable terminal 300 without intervention of the user, thereby raising the security level of the releasing code.

Meanwhile, the administrator portable terminal 300 stores the updated release code received from the user portable terminal 200 in the release code storage means 320, stores the release code usage history in the release history storage means 330, do.

In this manner, the control module 100 manages the unlock code to a high security level by preventing the control module 100 from directly connecting to the Internet network or the mobile communication network by updating the unlock code using the short-distance wireless communication can do. Also, by allowing the user portable terminal 200 to relay the release code, the administrator portable terminal 300 located at the remote location can update the updated release code in real time.

Meanwhile, the administrator portable terminal 300 may also communicate with the control module 100 using a short-range wireless communication module (not shown). In this case, when the administrator mobile terminal 300 accesses the control module 100, the control module 100 can directly transmit the updated unlock code to the administrator mobile terminal 300. For example, if the parent returns home, he can update the unlock code by directly receiving the unlock code updated with his or her smartphone. Further, the manager portable terminal 300 accesses the electric device desired to be locked or unlocked and communicates with the control module 100, thereby registering or canceling the control of the electric device.

The invention described above is susceptible to various modifications within the scope not impairing the basic idea. In other words, all of the above embodiments should be interpreted by way of example and not by way of limitation. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined in accordance with the appended claims rather than the above-described embodiments, and should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention when the constituent elements defined in the appended claims are replaced by equivalents.
