[0001] SYSTEM AND METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION FOR VISITOR IDENTIFICATION [0002]

The present invention relates to a system and method for identifying a visitor at a home.

As the variety of services that provide home visiting services are increasing, crimes such as stealing or injuring household residents are increasing. In order to prevent this, a variety of services such as providing identification information of a visitor using a home network technology as a letter are being researched and provided.

In order to provide the identification service, conventionally, the visitor may present the identification card possessed by the visitor, or the visitor may be provided with the information of the visitor when the resident reserves the visit service. However, since ID cards are highly likely to be counterfeited or tampered, they are less reliable for use as a means of identifying visitors.

Especially, when the elderly person, child, woman etc. are alone in the house, the service can not be provided because the visitor can not be sure of the identity of the visitor who provides the service such as rental, communication installation and delivery. Also, although the current visiting service provides identification service by text, there is a problem that a designated user is required to perform a troublesome procedure only for one person.

In addition, the identification of the visitor uses a database constructed by the company to which the visitor belongs. However, when the update of the identity information is omitted due to reasons such as leaving, there is a problem that identification is difficult in real time. In addition, there is a problem that identification of a visitor belonging to a small enterprise in which a database is not established is impossible.

Accordingly, the present invention provides an identification system and method that can enhance the reliability of a visitor's confirmed identity using a block-chain technology and conveniently identify it.

The visitor information processing device extracts first visitor information and second visitor information from the first code image and the second code image and receives authentication information authenticated by the enterprise server based on the extracted first visitor information A memory for storing the first visitor information and the authentication information that have been successfully authenticated based on the authentication information received from the enterprise server for a predetermined period of time, And may include a timer that is driven for the predetermined time under the control of the processor when the first visitor information and the authentication information are temporarily stored.

The processor transmits the first visitor information and the IP information allocated to the visitor information processing device to the enterprise server, and if the authentication information for the first visitor information is successful from the enterprise server, And generate an alarm if the authentication information for the first visitor information fails authentication.

The processor compares the extracted second visitor information with the first visitor information stored in the memory and can finally confirm the identity of the visitor if the two visitor information matches and the timer does not expire.

The visitor information processing apparatus may further include a speaker for outputting an alarm generated in response to the authentication failure in the processor to the outside.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of confirming the identity of a visitor in a home,

Extracting first employee information from a code image received from a first camera interlocked with the identification system, receiving authentication result information on the extracted first employee information from an enterprise server interlocked with the identification system, Storing the extracted first employee information when an authentication result of the first employee information is an authentication success, extracting second employee information from a code image received from a second camera interlocked with the identification system, Comparing the stored first employee information with the stored first employee information, and confirming the identity of the visitor if the stored first employee information matches the extracted second employee information.

Wherein the first employee information includes URL information for accessing the enterprise server and employee identification information assigned to the visitor, wherein the first employee information includes at least one of the employee identification Transmitting the information and the IP information allocated to the identification system to the enterprise server, and receiving the authentication result confirmed in the identification block chain based on the employee identification information and the IP information.

The step of verifying the identity of the visitor may include the steps of: checking whether the stored first employee information matches the extracted second employee information; if the first employee information matches the second employee information, determining whether the driven timer has expired And displaying that the identity of the visitor has been verified if the timer has not expired.

And generating an alarm if the first employee information and the second employee information do not match or if the driven timer has expired.

According to the present invention, the resident can use the in-home visiting service with confidence by surely verifying and providing the visitor's identity by using the identification check block chain.

The lobby phone 100 transmits the QR code collected by the camera to a home-installed monthly pad (or a visitor information processing device) 300 that a visitor intends to visit.

The visitor information processing device 300 accesses the enterprise server 400 belonging to the visitor based on the address inserted in the received QR code to request confirmation of the identity of the visitor. The enterprise server 400 receives and authenticates another information embedded in the QR code from the visitor information processing device 300 and transmits the authentication result to the visitor information processing device 300. [

(Hereinafter referred to as a "second phone") 200 installed in a door of a household (hereinafter referred to as a "second door") through which the visitor who has been authenticated passes through the lobby of the common building Recognize the QR code again. The visitor information processing device 300 compares the information contained in the collected QR code with the QR code information collected from the lobby phone 100 and the information authenticated by the enterprise server 400. [ And provides the visitor's authentication result through the display of the resident's terminal (not shown) or the visitor information processing device 300 according to the comparison result.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the QR code provided in the visitor terminal 500 is described as an example of the visitor authentication means for the sake of convenience of explanation, but it is not necessarily limited thereto. For convenience of description, various network devices (for example, switches, firewalls, routers, etc.) that may be provided between the visitor information processing device 300 and the enterprise server 400 are omitted.

In the embodiment of the present invention, one corporate server 400 is illustrated for convenience of explanation. However, in order to confirm the identity of a visitor through the identification block chain, a plurality of terminals (business PC, Etc. constitute an enterprise server 400. [ That is, a plurality of terminals constituting one enterprise server 400 receives and authenticates visitor information, or a predetermined number or more of terminals receive visitor information and perform authentication, and then authentication It is assumed that the identity of the visitor is confirmed only if it succeeds.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, an example in which the lobby phone 100 is installed outside a common house will be described as an example. However, in the case of the apartment house not provided with the lobby phone 100, the door phone 200 may perform the function of the lobby phone 100. [

As to the structure of the visitor information processing device 300, which is a monthly pad for processing the collected visitor information and providing the visitor's authentication information to the resident based on the authentication information authenticated by the enterprise server 400 in the environment described above 3 < / RTI >

3 is a structural diagram of a visitor information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the visitor information processing apparatus 300 includes a communication interface 310, a processor 320, a memory 330, a timer 340, a display 350, and a speaker 360.

The processor 320 of the visitor information processing device 300 extracts visitor information from the QR code of the visitor collected in the lobby phone 100 through the communication interface 310. [ Here, the visitor information into which the QR code is inserted will be described first with reference to FIG.

6 is an exemplary view of employee information embedded in code according to an embodiment of the present invention.

6, the employee information embedded in the QR code includes a URL address, an employee name, a telephone number, an e-mail, and the like of the enterprise server 400 to be accessed by the visitor information processing device 300 for authenticating visitor information Include employee personal information, including. In addition, the employee information includes ID information to be used when the visitor information processing device 300 requests the enterprise server 400 to confirm the identity of the visitor.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the use of the public key assigned to each employee as the ID information will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the embodiment of the present invention, the company server 400 uses an identification block chain technique to identify the identity of a visitor, which will be described later.

3, the processor 320, when receiving the authentication information of the visitor from the enterprise server 400, temporarily stores the visitor information extracted from the QR code in the memory 330 only when the visitor information is authenticated . A timer control signal for driving the timer 340 is generated and the timer 340 is driven for a preset time from the time when the visitor information and the authentication information are temporarily stored.

This is to automatically discard the temporarily stored visitor information and authentication information when the preset time exceeds. In other words, an approximate estimated time required to travel from the first time point when the visitor has read the QR code to pass through the lobby to the second time point when the QR code is read to enter the household is set in advance. And, if there are visitors who try to enter the household at the time when the expected time of visiting exceeds, the residents are not to open the door. In the embodiment of the present invention, the timer 340 is provided as a separate hardware component, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

When the processor 320 receives the QR code collected from the door phone 200 through the communication interface 310, the processor 320 checks whether the timer 340 is being driven. If the timer 340 is still running, the visitor information in the QR code collected by the door phone 200, the visitor information temporarily stored in the memory 330, and the authentication information are compared with each other, The server 400 confirms that the visitor is an authenticated visitor.

Processor 320 informs the authenticated visitor that the identity of the visitor has been authenticated via display 350. In the embodiment of the present invention, the visitor ID authentication completion information is provided on the display 350 of the visitor information processing device 300 as an example, but the visitor ID authentication completion information may be provided to the resident's terminal. In this case, the memory 330 may further store terminal information of the resident.

Processor 320 may also include a timer 340 that is activated from the moment the visitor information and authentication information is temporarily stored in memory 330 before expiration of the visitor 340 into the household, When entering the household, a discard control signal for discarding the information temporarily stored in the memory 330 is generated.

The processor 320 receives the authentication failure information of the visitor from the enterprise server 400 or when the timer 340 expires or the authentication is successful but the information collected by the door phone 200 and the information collected from the lobby phone 100 If the collected information does not match, an alarm is generated through the speaker 360.

In the memory 330, visitor information and authentication information are temporarily stored. In addition, the memory 330 stores and manages various programs for driving the visitor information processing device 300.

Here, an example of a processor in which each function processed by the processor 320 is represented by a module will be described with reference to FIG.

4 is an illustration of a processor in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the code receiving module 321 receives the QR code image collected from the lobby phone 100 or the door phone 200. The code receiving module 321 also collects identification information of each of the lobby phone 100 and the door phone 200 when receiving the QR code image in the lobby phone 100 and the door phone 200, respectively.

This is because the QR code image collected by the lobby phone 100 sends information to the enterprise server 400 for visitor authentication and the QR code image collected by the door phone 200 is compared with the information temporarily stored in the memory 330 . That is, when the phone that collected the QR code image is the lobby phone 100, the code recognition module 322 extracts the employee information from the received QR code image. The code recognition module 322 accesses the enterprise server 400 based on the URL information included in the employee information extracted by the code information transmission module 323 and transmits the URL information to a plurality of terminals constituting the enterprise server 400 And sends the employee information to request authentication of the visitor.

However, if the phone that collected the QR code image is the door phone 200, the code recognition module 322 extracts the employee information from the received QR code image and transmits it to the code information comparison module 326, And compares the two pieces of information with each other.

The authentication information receiving module 324 receives authentication information on the employee information confirmed by the block chain technique from the enterprise server 400 and transmits only the authenticated visitor information to the memory 330. At the same time, the timer driving module 325 generates a control signal for driving the timer 340.

Based on the authentication information received by the authentication information receiving module 324, the authentication information providing module 327 transmits guidance information for informing that the visitor is an authenticated visitor from the enterprise server 400 or an authenticated visitor from the enterprise server 400 And transmits it to the display 350. The authentication information providing module 327 also receives comparison information between the code information and the temporary information compared by the code information comparing module 326 and provides the information to the display 350. [

In the environment where the visitor identification system described above is applied, a method of identifying the visitor identity will be described with reference to FIG.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of identifying a visitor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

5, when the visitor recognizes the QR code inserted in the visitor terminal 500 to the camera of the lobby phone 100 (S100), the camera of the lobby phone 100 transmits the QR code inserted into the visitor information processing device 300, (Step S101). The visitor information processing device 300 extracts the employee information from the QR code image received in step S101 (S102).

Then, the server 400 connects to the enterprise server 400 based on the URL information of the enterprise server 400 included in the employee information, and transmits the employee information (S103). Here, the employee information transmitted to the enterprise server 400 is employee identification information, that is, employee information created using a public key. In step S103, when the employee information is transmitted, the IP address assigned to the visitor information processing device 300 is also transmitted.

The enterprise server 400 authenticates the visitor based on the employee identification information and the IP address received from the visitor information processing device 300 (S104). The enterprise server 400 transmits the authentication result information about the authentication result to the visitor information processing device 300 (S105). The visitor information processing device 300 determines whether the authentication result received in step S105 is a notification of authentication success (S106).

If the authentication result information indicating that authentication has failed from the enterprise server 400 is received, the visitor information processing apparatus 300 generates an alarm and notifies the resident of the residence (S117). However, if authentication result information indicating successful authentication is received, the visitor information processing device 300 temporarily stores the authentication result information and the employee information extracted in S102 (S107). At the same time, the timer is driven (S108), and a door lock control signal is transmitted through the lobby phone 100 so that the lobby door is opened (S109).

When the visitor arrives at the door of the household through the lobby door and recognizes the QR code in the camera provided in the door phone 200 again at S110, the door phone 200 transmits the QR code image to the visitor information processing device 300 (S111). The visitor information processing device 300 extracts the employee information from the QR code image received in step S111, and compares it with the employee information temporarily stored in step S107 (S112).

If the code information matches, the visitor information processing device 300 checks whether the timer driven in step S108 has expired (S114). If the timer has not expired, the visitor information processing device 300 displays visitor authentication information indicating that the visitor is an authorized employee to the resident through the display (S115). However, if it is determined that the code information does not coincide with the result of checking in step S113, or if the result of checking in step S114 indicates that the timer has expired, the visitor information processing device 300 generates an alarm and notifies the resident of the alarm (S116).

In the process of confirming the identity of the employee in step S104, the enterprise server 400 authenticates the employee information by an identification block chain. In general, in the bit coin block chain, an individual's public key is used as an account address for remittance. On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, the employee identification information use.

Then, the enterprise server 400 confirms whether the visit request of the visitor is valid based on the employee identification information, the IP address of the visitor information processing device 300, the previous visit record of the visitor, and the like. At this time, in order to evaluate the validity of the visit request, the participating computers of the ID verification block are verified according to the ID verification algorithm, and the details thereof can be implemented in various forms, so that the detailed description is omitted in the embodiments of the present invention. Here, the enterprise server 400 stores and manages previous visit information of employees who provided the visit service, for an identity check block chain.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It belongs to the scope of right.
