4 is a flow diagram illustrating a combined ticketing / settlement operation performed in the user terminal 100 according to various embodiments of the present invention.

First, a user can install an integrated ticketing application 131 in the user terminal 100 to perform an application authentication process such as membership registration or login / password (S1).

Then, the user terminal 100 can perform a user registration process for using the app based on an ID image such as a user's personal identification card, driver's license, or passport (S2). In this user registration process, the user terminal 100 can extract the valid characters from the user's ID image, and can transmit the extracted valid characters to the server 200. According to various embodiments, the user terminal 100 may transmit the extracted valid characters to the server 200 after encryption processing.

Next, the user terminal 100 can perform user authentication through the server 200 (S3). Such user authentication may include a sequence of authentication operations to identify the identity of the user of the user terminal 100 and to identify the types of available tickets according to the identified identity information. Specifically, the server 200 can generate authentication information of a ticket available to the user through communication with an external server or an external device or a database of the server 200 based on the valid characters received from the user terminal 100 have. By way of non-limiting example, the server 200 may perform an authentication operation after decrypting the encrypted valid characters.

 For example, if the user is an elderly person, the server 200 can check whether the age limit (for example, 65 years old or older) conforms to the subway route privilege policy by referring to the resident registration number, which is at least a part of the valid characters. If the condition is satisfied, the server 200 can provide the user terminal 100 with the path privilege authentication information corresponding to the user.

According to various embodiments, the user terminal 100 or the server 200 may perform the authentication process in various ways. Specifically, the user terminal 100 can primarily authenticate itself by communicating with the communication company server 600, and can perform the authentication in the server 200 as described above. However, can be changed.

As another example, the user terminal 100 may request authentication by sending an encrypted valid character to the server 200, and the server 200 may itself communicate with the carrier server 600 to perform the dual authentication . This double authentication can be made, for example, by authenticating the user and authenticating the ticket corresponding to the user. To this end, at any point in time, the communication company server 600 can request information required for authentication of the user to the user terminal 100. The user terminal 100 inputs the requested information and returns the information to the communication company server 600, Authentication can be completed.

Next, the user terminal 100 may generate the issuance information based on the authentication information received from the server 200 (S4). The user can use the subway by recognizing the user terminal 100 stored in the generated card issuing information to the entrance gate 500 (S5), and calculate the use fee based on the incoming station information (S6).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of recognizing an ID for user registration in the user terminal 100 according to various embodiments of the present invention. According to various embodiments, the identification process of FIG. 5 may be a recognition process that uses the entirety of the ID image.

First, in step S510, the user terminal 100 may scan the ID card. Specifically, the user terminal 100 can acquire an image of the user's ID card or an image of the user's ID card, and confirm the obtained ID card image.

Next, in step S520, the user terminal 100 may perform a preprocessing process. The preprocessing process may be a process of converting the ID image so as to distinguish the character area and the background area through the binarization process. For example, the user terminal 100 may treat the text area as white, the background area as black, or vice versa. Such an operation can be performed by a binarization algorithm, and the character region can be processed as " 0 " and the background region can be processed as " 1 "

According to various embodiments, the user terminal 100 may remove an external object (e.g., noise). In particular, the user terminal 100 may remove noise included in the background area. For example, the user terminal 100 may detect a region (e.g., hair) that has not been converted to black in the photograph of the user included in the ID card to determine the noise, Color) to remove the external object. This external object removal step may be included in the preprocessing process or may be performed independently.

Next, in step S530, the user terminal 100 may perform a step of checking the position of the character area (e.g., a character area extraction step). The user terminal 100 can confirm the position of the character area on the ID image by checking the information of " 0 " and " 1 " assigned to each area in the preprocessing process.

Next, in step S540, the user terminal 100 may perform a thinning operation. For example, the user terminal 100 can restore the shape of some unclear or broken part more clearly by changing the image thickness of the characters included in the character area to be thinner than the original. By way of non-limiting example, such thinning work steps may be included in the pre-processing step described above, but may be performed separately from the preprocessing step as shown in FIG.

Next, in step S550, the user terminal 100 can perform a feature point extraction function. Specifically, the user terminal 100 can check the minutiae of each character included in the character area using various minutiae extraction algorithms.

Next, in step S560, the user terminal 100 may perform a line extraction process. This Lyle extraction process may be, for example, a process of confirming in which line each character is located when there are a plurality of characters included in the character area. For example, in a user's name "Hong Kil-Dong", "Name" and "Hong Kil-dong" are on the same line, but "Name" and "Address" are on different lines. The user terminal 100 can confirm line information matched to the plurality of characters using various algorithms.

Next, in step S570, the user terminal 100 may perform a symbolization process. The encoding process may be, for example, a process of converting the characters included in the character area into matching symbols (e.g., "a", "a", "a", "2", etc.) based on the extracted minutia information.

Next, in step S580, the user terminal 100 may perform a character parsing process. In particular, the user terminal 100 may convert characters in the form of images into characters. For example, the user terminal 100 may parse the symbolized character as a character. By completing this parsing operation, the user terminal 100 can extract valid characters (e.g., name, resident number, address, etc.) included in the user ID image.

According to some embodiments, the user terminal 100 may perform an enlargement function that allows relatively small letters to be enlarged and read in the identification process. For example, the user terminal 100 can recognize the character area and can enlarge and convert the recognized character area at a predetermined magnification. By way of non-limiting example, this enlargement function may be performed at any point in each of the steps of FIG.

As described above, various embodiments of the present invention maximize the recognition rate of the user identity by extracting valid characters necessary for authentication by recognizing the entire surface of the ID image rather than a specific area of the user ID card, Tickets can be issued quickly and easily.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation for generating ticketing information based on authentication information received from a server 200 in a user terminal 100 according to various embodiments of the present invention.

For example, the user terminal 100 may scan or image a user's identification card to collect an identification card image. As a non-limiting example, the user terminal 100 may load the user's ID image pre-stored in the user terminal 100 in response to a user request.

According to various embodiments, a minor such as a teenager may not have an identification card such as a resident registration card. Therefore, in this case, a minor who is a minor can input his / her date of birth information on the guidance screen of the integrated ticketing application 131 (603_B). Then, the user terminal 100 may transmit such birthday information to the server 200 as valid characters.

For example, the adolescents can send information (e.g., date of birth) related to the student's identity card to the user terminal 100, the server 200, or an external server (e.g., subway server ), And can issue a ticket through authentication based on the registered information.

Next, the user terminal 100 may analyze the user's ID (605). Then, the user terminal 100 can transmit information (e.g., valid characters of the ID card) for authentication to the server 200 (607). The server 200 can perform user authentication based on the information received from the user terminal 100 (609), and transmits the authentication information of the ticket available for the user to the user terminal 100 (611). Thereafter, the server 200 may update the generated authentication information and the information received from the user terminal 100 in the memory (613).

Next, the user terminal 100 can confirm or output the ticket issuing candidate information (615). The ticket issuing candidate information may be, for example, information on a plurality of tickets available to the user. For example, the ticketing candidate information may include, but is not limited to, preferential rights, general rights, commuter passes or special rights. In addition, if the type of the ticket available to the user as a result of the user's authentication is one, the process of confirming or outputting the issued ticket issuing information may be omitted.

Then, the user terminal 100 may generate ticket issuing information based on the authentication information (617).

According to some embodiments, the user terminal 100 may generate the card issuing information and then transmit the card issuing information to the user terminal 100 of the friend or the user terminal 100 of the acquaintance. Then, the friend or acquaintance can use the public transportation such as the subway based on the received ticket information. To this end, the user can perform a friend search after executing the application, and can select friend's terminal information for transmitting the ticketing information from the searched friend list. Then, the user terminal 100 can transmit the user's registered information (e.g., ticket) to the selected terminal.

Meanwhile, the operation of generating the registered card issuing information may be performed by the user through the automatic teller machine 400 or directly by the user terminal 100. [ The related contents will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG.

As shown, the user terminal 100 may include a card map storage area 900 in the storage unit 130. [ The card map storage area may be a plurality of memory spaces (e.g., card map) capable of storing the card issuing information, and each memory space is given a security key necessary for accessing the corresponding space.

The card map storage area 900 may be created based on the allocation information received from the server 200. The allocation information may be information for allocating different security keys for accessing each memory space for each memory space.

When the above-described ticketing information (e.g., a ticket card) is generated, the user terminal 100 may randomly store the ticketing information in any one of a plurality of card maps. When the use of the registered card issuing information is terminated (for example, the gate passes after arriving at the destination station), the user terminal 100 can discard the used card map. By doing so, it is possible to improve the security compared to the prior art using only the card map corresponding to one security key.

According to some embodiments, when the number of remaining card maps becomes equal to or less than a predetermined number as the discard operation is repeated, the user terminal 100 may automatically or manually generate card maps from the server 200 It is possible to receive the allocation information.

Meanwhile, the operation of allocating the card map to the card map storage area 900 as described above can be performed at an arbitrary point in time. According to various embodiments, the user terminal 100 may receive assignment information associated with the card map at the same time as it receives the authentication information from the server 200 or sequentially.

Through the embodiments of the above-described drawings, it is possible to maximize the recognition rate of the user identity, to quickly and easily issue a ticket corresponding to the user, and to selectively perform the ticketing operation according to the congestion of the user and the surrounding space , The security of the information related to the ticket can be enhanced.
