It is provided to fully inform the scope of the invention to those who possess.

1 is a diagram illustrating a method for a mobile object to communicate with another mobile object or device through a network. Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile body may communicate with another mobile body or another device. In this case, as an example, the mobile body may perform communication with another mobile body or another device based on cellular communication, WAVE communication, or other communication method. That is, the mobile body may have a device capable of performing communication, and may perform communication with another device based on this.

In addition, as an example, in relation to the communication of the mobile body, for the security of the mobile body, a module capable of performing communication only with a device located inside the mobile body and a module capable of performing communication with a device external to the mobile body may exist separately. For example, inside the mobile body, communication may be performed based on security only for devices within a certain range of the mobile body, such as Wi-Fi communication. For example, the mobile device and the personally owned device of the mobile driver may include a communication module for performing only mutual communication. That is, the mobile and personal devices of the driver may use an external communication network and a blocked communication network. In addition, as an example, the mobile body may include a communication module that communicates with an external device. Through this, the mobile body may receive necessary information from the outside and operate based on the flit system based on this. In this case, as an example, the mobile object may refer to a device that can move. As an example, the moving object may be a vehicle or a drone. In addition, the moving body may be another moving device, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

In the following, the portable SIM is described. However, the portable SIM may be an identification device including at least one of a user, a control target, a service target identification function, or an ID function. For example, the identification device may correspond to at least one or more of a smart device, a smart module, and a SIM. However, as an example, the following description is based on the SIM for convenience of description. Although specifically described based on the portable SIM, it is not limited thereto. That is, it can be used as a portable identification device, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. However, in the following, for convenience of description, it is referred to as a portable SIM.

2 is a diagram showing a method of applying a portable SIM to a moving object. As described above, the SIM can be applied to the mobile body in consideration of the case where the mobile body communicates with an external device. For example, the portable SIM may be a device or device equipped with a SIM. In the case of SIM, it can be small as a microchip. Therefore, carrying only the SIM may cause problems such as loss of risk or bad chip generation. In consideration of the above points, the SIM may be used as a portable SIM while being mounted on another device or device. In this case, for example, the other device or device may be a smart phone. In addition, as an example, another device or device may be a separate device for a portable SIM. That is, it may be a device for a portable SIM, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

In this case, when the portable SIM card is applied to the mobile, the mobile may perform subscriber identification based on the portable SIM card. That is, similar to a smart phone, a mobile object can also identify a mobile user based on the portable SIM card. In this case, the portable SIM may include environment information according to a user such as driving record information, navigation setting information, moving object setting information, driver's seat information, and steering information of the user. In this case, if the mobile object recognizes the portable SIM, the mobile object may change the mobile object setting based on information included in the portable SIM. In addition, as an example, charging for the use of the mobile object may be performed by the portable SIM. For example, the mobile body may also perform communication as described above, and billing may be performed based on the communication. In addition, as an example, billing may be performed based on the use of a shared moving object or another moving object. At this time, it is possible to check the usage details of the mobile object through the portable SIM based on the usage time, driving distance, etc., and billing can be performed based on this. That is, by applying the portable SIM to the mobile object, a system based on information on the use of the mobile object can be constructed. In addition, as an example, if the SIM is not applied to the mobile object, it may not operate. As an example, the mobile object may operate only when the SIM is applied and the SIM is recognized. However, for example, in an emergency or in consideration of an emergency situation, some driving may be possible.

In addition, as an example, the portable SIM may communicate with peripheral IoT devices and receive a service based thereon. As an example, portable SIMs may also be applied to IoT devices. As a more detailed example, at present, the SIM may be applied only to a smart phone, but a plurality of SIMs mutually compatible and identifying the same user may be applied to a plurality of devices such as a smart phone, a mobile device, and a home appliance. That is, a user can provide a service to a plurality of devices through a SIM for the same user.

In addition, as an example, when the mobile body has a portable SIM, the mobile body may operate in conjunction with the ITS infrastructure. For example, in the case of performing autonomous driving of a mobile object, a portable SIM is recognized by the mobile object, and an autonomous driving service may be provided through the surrounding ITS infrastructure through the recognized portable SIM. In this case, authentication for a user may be performed through the portable SIM, and a service may be provided based on authenticated user information.

In addition, as an example, service/security may be provided through a portable SIM. In addition, a sharing service or the like may be provided by the portable SIM like a mobile sharing service.

As another example, when the portable SIM is applied to a mobile, authentication may be performed based on a server in consideration of mobile security. For example, the server may include a security certificate and information necessary for security. Only when security is authenticated through the portable SIM of the mobile and the security of the server, authentication for the mobile is completed and the mobile can be used.

As another example, when the portable SIM is applied to a mobile object, security may be performed without a server in consideration of mobile security. For example, the mobile body may communicate with a nearby mobile body or other devices based on V2X or V2V communication. At this time, each mobile object or device may include respective hash values based on a block chain, and mutual security may be authenticated through a network structure based on this. In other words, mobile security can be guaranteed through the blockchain.

Further, referring to FIG. 2, a case where the portable SIM is coupled to a moving object as shown in FIG. 2 may be considered. In this case, as an example, the portable SIM may serve as a SIM of a mobile object. That is, when the portable SIM and the mobile are authenticated by being combined with the mobile, the mobile can recognize the portable SIM. That is, the mobile body can perform authentication or provide personal services through the above. As an example, an application running in the portable SIM may be reflected on the moving object. As an example, a Google schedule may be applied to a mobile object to control the movement of the mobile object at a corresponding time. In addition, for example, for an autonomous, automated moving object, autonomous driving may be performed based on information authenticated based on the portable SIM, as described above. In this case, as an example, even the portable SIM itself may perform all operations on the above-described SIM, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

In addition, as an example, referring to FIG. 3, as described above, a portable SIM for the same user may be used for a SIM of a mobile object, a SIM of a mobile device, and an IoT or ITS device. As an example, the portable SIM may be mounted on a device or device as described above. Through this, the user can carry the portable SIM. In this case, as an example, since the portable SIM may be a device capable of identifying and authenticating a user, control and authentication of each device may be efficiently performed. As an example, the user may apply the portable SIM to a moving object as described above. In addition, as an example, the portable SIM may be mounted on an RSU or other ITS infrastructure. In this case, as an example, the user may receive traffic information or related information from RSU or other ITS infrastructure. In addition, as an example, the RSU or other ITS devices are connected through a backbone network to easily obtain additional information. That is, the user can obtain information that is difficult to obtain through the wireless communication network through the RSU or other ITS infrastructure using the portable SIM. As another example, the portable SIM can also be installed in IoT home appliances. At this time, IoT home appliances can also provide customized services based on user identification and authentication. As an example, there may be a service provided by mounting a portable SIM on a mobile body. At this time, when the portable SIM is detached from the mobile object and mounted on another IoT home appliance, the portable SIM may continuously provide a service that has been interrupted by detachment. That is, a user can receive services from various devices through the portable SIM.

In addition, as a specific example, referring to FIG. 4, as described above, a mobile device may be applied to a mobile body as a portable SIM. In this case, as an example, the mobile body may be applied with a SIM as an ESIM. In this case, as an example, in the case of providing a mobile sharing service, the lessor's SIM may be an embedded SIM as an ESIM. On the other hand, since the tenant is continuously changed and can be used by a large number of users, as described above, it may be a SIM for a mobile device as a portable SIM. In this case, the operation of the lessor SIM and the lessor SIM as the plurality of SIMs described above may be the same in FIG. 4. However, when sharing a mobile, the lessor's SIM may not be allowed access to other users or other people. In addition, in consideration of mobile security, etc., the mobile owner or lessor's SIM may need to have high access rights. Considering the above, the lessor SIM or the mobile owner's SIM can be implemented as an ESIM. On the other hand, in the case of the tenant's SIM or another driver's SIM, there is a need to continuously change and provide flexible access rights. In consideration of the above points, the driver's SIM or the tenant's SIM may operate as described above as a portable SIM.

As another example, referring to FIG. 5, the portable SIM may be applied to a wearable device, a foldable device, or a flexible device. For example, in the case of a foldable or flexible device, power for device operation may be limited. In this case, as an example, a SIM may be applied to the flexible device for user authentication. That is, the device or device of the portable SIM may be a flexible device. In this case, as an example, the flexible device may be applied to the moving object in consideration of the above points. Referring to FIG. 5, the flexible device may be attached to a moving object glass to communicate with the moving object. In this case, the flexible device may perform authentication on the mobile object as a portable SIM. Also, as an example, a service for a mobile object may be additionally provided through a flexible device. As an example, the flexible device may be attached to a mobile body to perform wireless charging or wired charging, so that power use may not be a problem. In this case, the flexible device may display a blind spot based on the movable glass. In addition, the flexible device may display navigation or driving route information based on the moving object traveling route. That is, while solving the problem of power consumption of the flexible device, a service including a portable SIM for authenticating a mobile may be provided, and the service is not limited to the above-described embodiment. That is, an efficient service can be provided by providing a service through a display function using a flexible device and performing authentication through a portable SIM.

In addition, as an example, referring to FIG. 6, the portable SIM may also be mounted on an autonomous driving shuttle. As an example, the autonomous driving shuttle may be a shuttle that runs along a certain path. In addition, as an example, the autonomous driving shuttle may be a shuttle that moves along a guide line. At this time, there is a need to determine a destination and a moving route based on a user using the autonomous shuttle. For example, the portable SIM may additionally provide information as described above, as well as identification and authentication for a user. Through this, the autonomous driving shuttle can operate based on information stored in the portable SIM. As another example, the portable SIM may be mounted on a drone or other moving object. In this case, since the portable SIM can perform user identification and authentication, it can efficiently operate a mobile object having a large security need, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

7 is a diagram showing a method of providing a service through a mobile object to which a portable SIM is applied. Referring to FIG. 7, as described above, a portable SIM may be applied to a moving object. In this case, various services may be provided through the portable SIM of the mobile object. For example, a moving object operation record may be stored through the portable SIM of the moving object. In addition, the moving object operation record can be checked for each individual and used through a server or system.

More specifically, existing moving object operation information and related information may be stored and shared based on the moving object. In this case, when a portable SIM is applied to a mobile object, a user can be identified through the portable SIM, and mobile vehicle operation information and related information can be stored and utilized for each user. For example, the moving object driving information may include at least one or more of visited area information, driving distance information, driving pattern information, and driving route information. In addition, the moving object operation information may be information that can be used as a reference for the portable SIM user in relation to the moving object, and is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In this case, the user can store and utilize the moving object operation information related to himself based on the portable SIM, so that the relevant information can be used even when the moving object is changed. For example, a user may be provided with a service through autonomous driving or an ITS infrastructure based on information stored in the portable SIM. For example, a service may be provided in relation to the own driving pattern, such as autonomous driving level, information on nearby restaurants, and information on a moving route. At this time, as described above, corresponding information may be managed through the portable SIM. In addition, as an example, communication with other devices may be performed through the portable SIM of the mobile body. As an example, the other device may be a smart device such as a smart phone or a smart watch. Also, as an example, they may be peripheral devices based on IoT. As another example, it may be other devices based on the ITS infrastructure. At this time, since the user can be identified and authenticated through the portable SIM of the mobile object, security can be improved in the use of the mobile object. At this time, it is possible to control other devices in the vicinity through communication with IoT devices. In addition, a user can control a vehicle equipped with a SIM through his or her mobile device. As another example, the ITS infrastructure may also communicate with a user identified and authenticated through a portable SIM, and may provide a service for autonomous driving or a driving route, but is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
