1 is a diagram for describing short-range wireless communication between a user terminal device 100 and a peripheral electronic device 200 of the user terminal device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. In FIG. 1, the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 are illustrated in the form of a smart phone, but this is only an example, and the

devices

100 and 200 may be implemented in various forms. For example, the electronic device may be a PC, a tablet PC, a laptop PC, a PDA, an MP3, an electronic dictionary, an electronic book, or the like.

As described above, the user terminal device 100 and the peripheral electronic device 200 may be implemented in the same kind of device, but for convenience of description, the user terminal device 100 refers to a device that is a main operation. The device 200 is described by dividing the device to mean the other side device.

Referring to FIG. 1, the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 may exchange device names through a short range wireless communication network.

If a user visits an arbitrary place with at least one companion, the user terminal device 100 owned by the user and the electronic device 200 owned by the companion are generally located within a range within which a short range wireless communication is possible. to be. In this embodiment, the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 automatically perform short-range wireless communication to determine whether they are companions.

Here, the short range wireless communication may be a peer to peer (p2p) method. The p2p method is a file sharing method between peers, and there is no distinction between a server and a client, and each peer operates as a sender or a receiver according to a situation. The p2p method may be implemented using a communication method such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, Zigbee, or the like. Hereinafter, the case in which the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 are connected to a Bluetooth p2p network will be described as an example. However, a short range wireless communication method such as Wi-Fi Direct or Zigbee may be applied to the present invention.

In addition, the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 may have device names corresponding to the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200, respectively. For example, the device name may be a brand name of an electronic device such as GALAXY XX or a model name such as SCH-V740, and may be reset according to a user's intention (for example, 'KIM's mobile phone').

The user terminal device 100 may scan the peripheral electronic devices 200 after activating the Bluetooth p2p to obtain the device name of the electronic device 200. For example, assuming that the device name of the electronic device 200 is 'B', when the user terminal device 100 requests the device name from the electronic device 200 to scan a peripheral device, the electronic device 200 The device name 'B' is transmitted to the user terminal device 100. Similarly, assuming that the device name of the user terminal device 100 is 'A', when the electronic device 200 requests the device name of the user terminal device 100 from the user terminal device 100 to scan the peripheral device, The user terminal device 100 transmits the device name 'A' to the electronic device 200.

Here, the device name of the electronic device 200 may include a contact (or phone number) of the electronic device 200. The user terminal device 100 may determine whether a user who uses the electronic device 200 is a companion of a user who uses the user terminal device 100 using the device name of the electronic device 200. In addition, the device name of the user terminal device 100 may include a contact (eg, a phone number) of the user terminal device 100. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 below.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a user terminal device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. Here, the detailed description of the contents overlapping with the above-described contents will be omitted.

According to FIG. 2, the user terminal device 100 includes a storage unit 110, a communication unit 120, and a controller 130.

The storage unit 110 stores various data used to drive the user terminal device 100. In particular, the storage unit 110 may store contact information. Here, the contact information may be a phone number of a person who has a specific relationship with a user who uses the user terminal device 100. Examples of specific relationships are friends, family, and work colleagues. The contact information may be input directly by the user or may be provided from an external device such as a server (not shown).

The communicator 120 communicates with the electronic device 200.

In detail, the communicator 120 may perform short-range wireless communication with the peripheral electronic device 200 of the user terminal device 100 to receive a device name including contact information of the peripheral electronic device 200.

To this end, the communication unit 120 may receive a device name including contact information from the peripheral electronic device 200 without going through a pairing process.

Specifically, pairing refers to a process of allowing devices using short-range wireless communication to connect and operate with each other. For example, for example, a plurality of electronic devices 200 obtain a device address and an identification number (PIN) of a paired counterpart electronic device 200. As a result, the plurality of electronic devices freely exchange data with the authenticated counterpart electronic device.

However, in pairing, the process of authenticating the identification number may be cumbersome, and the device address and identification number of the user terminal device 100 may be provided to the unspecified number, which may not be suitable for protecting personal information.

In order to solve this drawback, the contact information is included in the device names of the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 so that the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 may obtain contact information of the other party only by scanning. You can. This will be described in detail in the controller 130 to be described later.

Meanwhile, the communicator 120 may further include a short range wireless communication module (not shown) for short range wireless communication. The short range wireless communication module (not shown) is a communication module that performs wireless communication with a nearby electronic device 200 located near, for example, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi direct, Zigbee. ), But are not limited thereto.

The controller 130 controls the overall operation of the user terminal device 100.

First, the controller 130 may change the device name of the user terminal device 100. This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B.

3A is a flowchart illustrating a device name change process of the user terminal device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment.

3B is a diagram for describing a device name of the user terminal device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment.

Hereinafter, a process of changing a device name on the basis of the user terminal device 100 will be described for convenience of description. Therefore, the following device name change process may be applied to the electronic device 200 as well.

In FIG. 3A, it is assumed that the device name of the user terminal device 100 is set to 'mobile phone of KIM'.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the controller 130 backs up the preset device name 'KIM's mobile phone' (S310). That is, even if the device name is changed later, the controller 130 backs up the preset device name 'KIM's mobile phone' to the storage 110 to restore the original device name (for example, the KIM's mobile phone). After that, the controller 130 encrypts the contact (S320). This is to protect personal information by encrypting a contact. For example, the telephone number '010-1234-BBBB' may be encrypted with '53ec8c72e4b0cc12c8d3af5c'. Here, since encryption is known in various ways, a detailed description thereof will be omitted here. Next, the controller 130 inserts the encrypted contact into the device name of the user terminal device 100 (S330). In this case, when the electronic device 200 scans the peripheral electronic device, the user terminal device 100 located in the vicinity of the electronic device 200 is a device name of '53ec8c72e4b0cc12c8d3af5c' in which the telephone number of the user terminal device 100 is encrypted. Scanned (see FIG. 3B). Finally, when the preset time elapses, the controller 130 restores the device name of the user terminal device 100 to the mobile phone of KIM (S320). Here, by changing the encrypted device name only for a predetermined time, it is possible to minimize the restriction on the use of the preset device name.

3A and 3B, an example of using a general device name has been described. However, the user terminal device 100 may use a device name further including an identifier corresponding to a companion determination service. This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

4A is a flowchart illustrating a device name change process of the user terminal device 100 according to another exemplary embodiment.

4B is a diagram for describing a device name of the user terminal device 100 according to another exemplary embodiment.

In FIG. 4A, it is assumed that the device name of the user terminal device 100 is set to 'mobile phone of KIM'.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the controller 130 backs up the preset device name 'mobile phone of KIM' (S410). After that, the controller 130 encrypts the contact (S420). Next, the controller 130 inserts the identifier and the encrypted contact corresponding to the companion determination service as the device name (S430). Here, the identifier is an identifier for indicating a service (for example, a service for determining a companion) that is used by the user terminal device 100 and the electronic device 200 together. The use of the identifier will be described in detail in the description of the companion determination method of the controller 130 to be described later. Finally, the device name is restored to the preset device name 'KIM's mobile phone' after the preset time (S440).

Referring to FIG. 4B, the changed device name may include an identifier (eg, a service name) 410 and an encrypted contact 420.

If the contact information included in the device name matches one of the contact information stored in the storage 110, the controller 130 may register a user of the peripheral electronic device 200 as a companion to the storage 110. .

In detail, the controller 130 determines that the user of the electronic device 200 is a companion when one of the contact information stored in the storage 110 and the contact included in the device name of the electronic device 200 match. can do. To this end, the controller 130 decodes the device name of the encrypted electronic device 200. For example, assuming that the device name of the electronic device 200 is '53ec8c72e4b0cc12c8d3af5c', the controller 130 decodes the device name '53ec8c72e4b0cc12c8d3af5c' using a decoding module (not shown) previously stored in the storage 110. The contact '010-1234-BBBB' of the electronic device 200 is extracted. In this case, the controller 130 may compare the contacts previously stored in the storage 110 with the contacts of the electronic device 200 and determine that the user of the electronic device 200 is a companion.

In addition, the controller 130 determines whether an identifier corresponding to the companion determination service is included in the received device name, and if the identifier is included, the contact information stored in the storage unit 110 stores contact information included in the received device name. Can be compared with This will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a result of scanning device names of peripheral electronic devices (not shown) according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, it is assumed that the user terminal device 100 uses 'companion' (tentative name), which is a lifelog service for determining and recording a companion.

Herein, the controller 130 controls the communication unit 120 to receive

device names

520, 530, and 540 of peripheral electronic devices (not shown).

Reference numerals

530 and 530 of the received device name include the identifier 'companion', and reference numeral 540 does not include the identifier. The controller 130 stores only the

contacts

521 and 531 included in the

device names

520 and 530 having the same identifier as the identifier 'companion' of the service being used by the user terminal device 100. Compare with any one of them to determine whether you are accompanied. That is, the user terminal device 100 does not perform a procedure for determining whether or not it is a companion with respect to the device name 540 that does not have the same identifier as the identifier 'companion' of the service being used.

As described above, by using the p2p function between the user terminal device 100 and the peripheral electronic device 200, by using the contact information of the other party, there is no need to connect to an external server or an external network. This reduces personal information infringement factors and avoids the use of unnecessary data resources.

6 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a user terminal device 100 ′ according to another exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6, the user terminal device 100 ′ includes a storage unit 110, a communication unit 120, a controller 130, and a detector 140. Here, a detailed description of the content overlapping with the above description will be omitted.

The detector 140 detects a location of the user terminal device 100 ′. To this end, the sensing unit 140 may include a GPS sensor, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, and the like. Accordingly, the sensing unit 140 may sense not only the direct position of the user terminal device 100 ′ but also various changes such as the rotation or tilt of the user terminal device 100 ′.

In detail, the controller 130 may directly measure the position of the user terminal device 100 ′ using a GPS sensor. In this case, the error of the position of the user terminal device 100 ′ may be within several tens of meters.

The gyro sensor is a sensor for detecting a rotation angle of the user terminal device 100 ′. The controller 130 may detect a change in the position of the user terminal device 100 ′ using a gyro sensor. The controller 130 may determine that the posture of the user terminal device 100 ′, in particular, the case where the inclination changes suddenly is a situation where the position of the user terminal device 100 ′ is changed.

The acceleration sensor is a sensor for detecting the degree of inclination of the user terminal device 100 '. The controller 130 may determine that the position of the user terminal device 100 ′ is changed when the inclination degree of the user terminal device 100 ′ is changed by a predetermined value or more using the acceleration sensor. have.

On the other hand, in order to detect the position of the user terminal device 100 ', the controller 130 uses a Wi-fi-based Positioning System (WPS) module and a Cell module pre-stored in the storage unit 110 to display the user terminal device ( 100 ') may be detected.

Here, the WPS module receives the parameters (MAC address, signal strength, etc.) of the RF signal radiated from the access point (AP) at the terminal and calculates and provides the user's location using the positioning technology between the terminal and the system. Module.

The cell module is a module for measuring a location through base station information of a telecommunication company, and provides a user's location by using a difference between a signal of a base station to which the user belongs and a signal arrival time from neighboring base stations.

The controller 130 may use the detector 140 to determine whether the user of the user terminal device 100 ′ stays at a specific place.

In detail, the controller 130 may control the communicator 120 to scan the peripheral electronic device 200 and receive a device name when the amount of change in the position detected by the detector 140 is equal to or less than a predetermined change amount for a preset time. have.

For example, if it is determined that the user terminal device 100 ′ stays in the 20m X 20m space for a preset time, the controller 130 may determine that the user is staying in the corresponding place. In this case, the controller 130 may activate the communication unit 120 to scan the peripheral electronic devices and receive a device name of the electronic device 200 as a result of the scanning.

In addition, the controller 130 generates a device name including contact information when the amount of change of the position detected by the detector 140 is equal to or less than a predetermined amount of change for a preset time, and the peripheral electronic device 200 through the communication unit 120. Can be sent to. To this end, the storage unit 110 may further store contact information of the user terminal device 100 ′.

For example, the controller 130 may encrypt a contact of the user terminal device 100 ′ stored in the storage 110, and may use the encrypted contact and service identifier as a new device name. Here, when the amount of change in the position sensed by the detector 140 satisfies less than 20 m for 10 minutes, the controller 130 determines that the user using the user terminal device 100 ′ stays at a specific place, and the communication unit ( The changed device name may be transmitted to the peripheral electronic device 200 by activating 120.

In addition, if the change amount of the position detected by the sensing unit 140 is less than a predetermined change amount for a predetermined time, the controller 130 encrypts the contact information at each preset time period, and regenerates the device name including the encrypted contact information. In addition, the communication unit 120 may be controlled to transmit the device name for a predetermined time.

For example, if the amount of change in the detected location is less than a certain amount of change for a preset time, the controller 130 regenerates the device name including the encrypted contact every 30 minutes of the preset time period, and sets the device name by 5 minutes for each preset time period. The communication unit 120 may be activated to transmit the data.

Meanwhile, in order to provide a lifelog service, when the contact information included in the device name of the electronic device 200 matches one of the contact information stored in the storage unit 110, the controller 130 of the peripheral electronic device 200 may be used. The user may be registered as a companion to the storage 110. In detail, the location of the user terminal device 100 and the user of the peripheral electronic device 200 when the device name of the electronic device 200 is received may be registered together in the storage 110.

For example, the controller 130 may store the coordinates corresponding to the location of the user terminal device 100, the name of the user of the electronic device 200, the stored date and time in the storage 110. In addition, the controller 130 may store place information corresponding to the location of the user terminal device 100, for example, a restaurant, a movie theater, or the like, in association with map information stored in the external or storage unit 110. have.

The service provided using this information will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 7A to 9B below.

When a preset event occurs, the controller 130 may display at least one of the location of the user terminal device 100 and information about the user of the peripheral electronic device 200 on the display 720 in the order of date and time. Can be. Here, the preset event may be a case where there is an input for confirming at least one of a location of the user terminal device 100 and information on a user of the peripheral electronic device 200. To this end, the user terminal device may further include a display 710.

7A illustrates an example in which the user terminal device 100 is a mobile phone 700. Here, the mobile phone 700 receives a touch input from the user for the area 711 corresponding to Saturday, October 17, 2015 among the dates of the scheduler 720. In response to the touch input, the controller 130 controls the display 710 to display information corresponding to the date, as shown in the screen 730 of FIG. 7B.

For example, the controller 130 is a place visited by the user of the mobile phone 700 (Gwanghwamun) on Saturday, October 17, 2015 (time of 2pm) and information of the companion who visited the place ( The display 710 can be controlled to display Park. At the same time, the controller 130 displays the information of the other place (Saemaul restaurant) that the user visited on the same date, the time of visiting another place (4 pm), and the information of the companion who visited the other place (Jung et al. 3). It can be displayed together in order.

When a preset event occurs, the controller 130 may display the date and time when the registered companion is registered in the storage 110 and the location of the user terminal device 100 at the time of registration on the display.
