These two processes occur almost simultaneously, whichever comes first. The recipient information may be a telephone number, an ID, or an e-mail. However, it is possible if the user A is information that can be distinguished from other recipients. In step S330 by transmitting the recipient information and the selected data to the web server 300, the step of data transmission is terminated. The information transmitted to the web server 300 may store the fingerprint information and data 600 of the receiver in a file / DB server according to an algorithm of the system of the web server 300 and the fingerprint authentication server 320. The web server 300 may encrypt fingerprint information and data through its own encryption algorithm system, and may further include a fingerprint authentication server 320 to increase the security level.

From step S340 to step S370 of FIG. 18, the user A receives the data 600. Subsequent reception steps are almost the same as the reception procedures in FIGS. 16 and 17. In operation S340, the user A recognizes the fingerprint through the

fingerprint recognition devices

120, 240, and 400 connected to the terminal B 105. When the fingerprint recognition is successfully terminated in step S350, the terminal B 105 transmits the fingerprint information successfully recognized in step S340 to the web server 300 through the Internet 900. In step S360, the web server 300 having received the fingerprint information finds fingerprint information that matches the fingerprint information in the file / DB server 320 and checks whether the fingerprint is matched to authenticate the fingerprint information. The web server 300 may decrypt the fingerprint information and the data 100 through its own encryption algorithm system, and may further include a fingerprint authentication server 320 to increase the security level. When the web server 300 finds the fingerprint information matching in step S360, the data 100 according to the present invention ends with the step S370 of transmitting the data 100 stored as the fingerprint information to the terminal B. Reception is completed, and data transmission / reception according to the present invention is completed.

In constructing a data transmission / reception apparatus and system through fingerprint information according to the present invention, any suitable authentication system can be additionally constructed. The authentication system may include a system for detecting biometric characteristics or attributes of a user, as well as fingerprint information.

Or a system operative to detect and authenticate the user based on any suitable portion under or under the skin.

As another example, the authentication system may include a system operative to detect and authenticate the user based on features of the eyes or face of the user, or movements of the eyes of the user. As another example, the electronic device may include a system operative to detect an ear canal of the user, an odor associated with the user, features of the user's DNA, or any suitable biometric property or information associated with the user. have.

The authentication system may also include a system operative to authenticate the user based on input information provided by the user and a visual pattern. For example, the electronic device may display some selectable options or shapes that form a visual pattern. The user can select and authenticate any suitable predetermined subset of the displayed options. That is, the user can select one or more options that have a predetermined property (eg, size, color, shape, or contour) in common.

The authentication system may provide any suitable combination of authentication systems, including biometric authentication systems and pattern based authentication systems, some biometric authentication systems, or some pattern based authentication systems. In this context, by building an authentication system using different authentication systems, it is possible for a user to provide authentication information for several systems as the user transmits / receives data. The authentication system may be selected by the user to which authentication systems are combined, and may be built according to a user's request in a company that has established a data transmission / reception apparatus and system according to the present invention. That is, a user may use an authentication system through several authentication systems, or specific authentication systems may be automatically configured (eg, as default) as an authentication system.

The present invention is to build a device and system that can securely and conveniently transmit and receive the user's data by maintaining a high security through various authentication systems including fingerprint information. Therefore, the detailed description of the above-described authentication systems, construction method, etc., which are intended to obscure the spirit of the present invention will be omitted.

Hereinafter, a method of transmitting the personalized setting 800 as shown in FIG. 19 through the web or the

user terminal

100 or 200 through the present invention will be described.

The personalized setting 800 as shown in FIG. 19 is used when the present invention transmits / receives a plurality of various data using the apparatus and system for data transmission / reception through the fingerprint information. The personalized setting 800 may transmit two or more pieces of data to the same fingerprint and receive two or one data later, unless the user adds or erases the data through the management of the personalized setting 800. The state is maintained. In other words, a user may personalize a plurality of various data through a personalized setting 800 instead of the user's

terminals

100 and 200 using a data transmission / reception apparatus and system through the fingerprint information of the present invention. You will be able to receive. The personalized setting in the form of a map shown in FIG. 19 includes various data (documents, videos, images, programs, web links, terminal internal links, etc.).

In order to configure the personalized setting 800, the user selects data to be transmitted through the screen interface of the terminal 100, and drags the fingerprint sensor 120 provided in the terminal 100 to the selected state. Step of, the user's finger is located in the fingerprint sensor, If the user's finger is located in the fingerprint sensor, the fingerprint sensor is activated to generate the user's fingerprint information, the terminal with the fish fingerprint information Transmitting the data selected by the user to the WEB / WAP server 300, transmitting the data transmitted to the WEB / WAP server 300 to the fingerprint authentication server 320, and transmitted to the fingerprint authentication server 320. Examining whether or not the fingerprint information is recorded in the fingerprint authentication server, if there is a previously transmitted fingerprint information in the step, the data associated with the fingerprint information is file / DB server 340 Checking whether the existing data is stored in the fingerprint.If the existing data exists in the fingerprint, it is transmitted to the user's terminal so that the user can select whether to update the existing data with the new data or save the new data with the existing data. Displaying the query on the user's terminal; selecting, by the user, storing the existing data and the new data together in response to the query of the server displayed on the terminal; Transmitting to the WAP server 300, storing the plurality of data of the user in the file / DB server 340 through the user selection information, and virtualizing the screen of the user's terminal. A plurality of existing data and data transmitted by the user through the layer 810 of the Characterized in that the data comprises the unfolding step the personalized settings 800 of the. Additionally, in order to maintain the personalized setting 800, fingerprint information may be requested every predetermined time, and the predetermined time may be changed according to the user's setting or arbitrarily limited in the server. In addition, when the user terminates the personalized setting 800, the final state of the personalized setting 800 is stored in the WEB / WAP server 300 and the file / DB server 340, so that the user can later detect the fingerprint sensor. When the corresponding fingerprint information is recognized, a step of loading the personalized setting of the final state may be added. Also, in the state where the personalized setting 802 is loaded (FIG. 20), the user may add new data. This process may be described with reference to FIGS. 21, 22, and 23.

As shown in FIG. 21, when the personalized setting 802 is loaded, the user selects new data and drags it to the virtual layer 810 where the personalized setting 802 is displayed. Positioning the dragged data at a predetermined position of the virtual layer 810 as shown in FIG. 23, the data positioned at the virtual layer 810 as shown in FIG. The steps included in 810 complete the process of adding new data to the personalized setting 802.

Additionally, additional security authentication steps may be further included to send or receive personalized settings over the web. In this step, the WEB / WAP server 300 may include a step of requesting a new fingerprint information to the user. That is, if the first fingerprint information authenticated by the user was the detection of the right hand, the second authenticated fingerprint information requests finger fingerprint information other than the detection of the right hand. This allows higher levels of security to be applied to personalized settings.

In addition, the user may only transmit data of one or more finger fingerprint information immediately in order to quickly transmit / receive one file (including deleting existing data even if existing fingerprint information exists in the fingerprint authentication server). The fingerprint may be set to specific fingerprint information, and similarly, one or more finger fingerprint information may be set as finger fingerprint information for loading a personalized setting. These settings and similar personal settings described herein may be provided with a management function through the homepage at the service provider that implemented the present invention, or additional management functions may be set through some areas of the personalized settings window. Can be provided.

During the above process, when the fingerprint information is recognized through the fingerprint sensor, an additional step of checking whether the fingerprint information recognized by the fingerprint sensor is correctly recognized may be included in each process.

As shown in FIG. 27, the fingerprint recognition device may exist at the position of the index finger of the user's finger, may exist at the position of the middle finger, and may exist at the position of the thumb. In addition, the authentication device may be present in the position of the palm in order to use the authentication information on the pattern of the palm. There may be only one authentication information recognizing apparatus in a specific position or a plurality of authentication information recognition apparatuses. This can be used according to the needs of the user, that is, a user having a plurality of authentication information recognition devices for users who require a high level of security. Similarly, FIG. 28 shows a keyboard 290 in which the fingerprint recognition device 120 is embedded. As shown in FIG. 28, a fingerprint recognition device may be built in a basic position where a finger is always located, that is, a key, s key, d key, f key, h key, j key, k key, and l key. It may be embedded in the location of the frequently used specific keys, ie the a, e, i, o and u keys. Through a mouse with a fingerprint reader or a keyboard with a fingerprint reader, a data transmission / reception system using fingerprint information according to the present invention can be achieved without continuously undergoing a special authentication process while the user is using a computer. It is always available.
