Description

VR HMD with iris authentication function {VR HMD WITH IRIS AUTHENTICATION FUNCTION}

The present invention relates to a VR HMD having an iris authentication function.

VR (virtual reality) related industries, which are the main core technologies of the 4th industrial revolution, are attracting attention for their rapid growth. Equipment that can experience virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) in augmented reality (AR) systems, virtual reality (VR) systems, and mixed reality (MR) systems is called a head-mounted display (HMD).

Head Mounted Display (HMD) is a display device that is mounted on the head and can present an image directly in front of the user's eyes. 1 is the first HMD made in 1968 by Ivan Sutherland of the University of Utah. The technology that simply showed the screen in front of the eyes has greatly improved as sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers have begun to be added. Now, with improved display technology and development of related contents, lightweight and high-performance HMD devices are starting to become popular.

3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a VR HMD equipped with an iris authentication function according to an embodiment of the present invention. VR HMD (100) is an abbreviation of Head mounted Display, and is an image display device that can be worn on the head like glasses and enjoy large-scale images. The VR HMD 100 includes a communication module 140 that transmits and receives data with the VR service server 200 through wired/wireless communication, and a main board that provides programs received from the VR service server 200 and controls the VR HMD ( 110), an iris recognition module 120 for recognizing an iris by tracking a user's gaze, a display module 130 for providing an image received from the main board 110, and iris authentication It includes a memory 150 that stores information.

When the wearer wears the VR HMD 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention and starts driving, the iris recognition module 120 recognizes the wearer's iris information. That is, the iris recognition module 120 tracks the gaze using a camera, and when light comes out from the infrared LED and shines on the eye, the iris recognition module 120 captures an image in which infrared rays are reflected on the eye to generate iris information.

The memory 150 matches and stores iris information and login information such as one or more VR service sites to be logged in with the iris information, an ID, and a password for each iris information.

When iris information is transmitted from the iris recognition module 120, the main board 110 displays VR service sites matched to the iris information in the memory 150 on the display module 130. When a user selects a VR service site to be accessed using a control device electrically coupled to the VR HMD 100, it is connected to the login page of the VR service server 200 according to the login information through the communication module 140 Log in to the VR service site using iris information or login information. Even if the VR service site does not support iris authentication, it enables login through iris authentication.

Here, the main board 110 may include all kinds of devices capable of processing data, such as a processor.

The VR HMD is electrically coupled with a control device so that a VR service site to be logged in can be selected. The manipulation device may include one of a handheld controller, a virtual finger device, a haptic glove, a keyboard, and a tracker.

The memory may include iris information, one or more VR service sites, an ID for each VR service site, and login information for each ID.

The login information includes at least one of a password, pattern, and iris information, so that even a VR service server that does not support iris authentication can be logged in by iris authentication.

The memory includes payment authentication information so that it is possible from VR shopping to payment without separate payment authentication while wearing the VR HMD.

When the VR HMD 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention starts to be driven after being worn, it is possible to automatically log in by simply selecting a site using iris information, thereby omitting a complicated procedure for separate log-in. there will be

Even when a plurality of users use the VR HMD 100, since log-in information according to each iris information is matched and stored, it is possible not to have a separate HMD for each user.
