Description

Smart device safety management method by user confirmation

The present invention relates to a method for safety management of smart devices, and more particularly, various smart devices including smart computers (phones, laptops, tablets, etc.), drones, automobiles, robots, TVs, and various smart devices (hereinafter referred to as 'smart devices'). 'Device') prevents theft and loss of smart devices by other people by requiring the user to be identified upon termination It relates to a safety management method of a smart device by user confirmation so that measures can be taken even in an emergency situation.

With the emergence and development of new smart devices with various functions, it has become common for users to own multiple types of smart devices. The function is in demand.

In particular, as smart devices develop, in order to limit unnecessary input errors in the standby state or to limit use by other users, various methods of input device lock/unlock functions such as pattern, password, face, iris, fingerprint, and voice are provided. have.

In general, the smart device performs the lock function only when activation of the lock function is selected by the user. To this end, the user can set the lock function of the smart device by selecting any one of various locking methods.

In the case of a smart device in which the lock function is set as described above, the lock function is activated when there is no input from the user for a certain period of time. Accordingly, when the user does not input for a certain period of time even after using a specific function of the smart device, the screen or function of the smart device is deactivated. At this time, a typical smart device releases the lock mode by inputting a password defined in advance or defined by the user's setting to unlock the lock mode.

As the number of users of smart devices increases, smart devices are also becoming more and more high-performance. Recently, with the introduction of smart devices of touch screens instead of keypads, the advantage of touch screens was changed to a ‘drawing’ form to promote input convenience.

In the past, smart device users were limited to using basic functions to make phone calls or send text messages, but as the performance and functions of smart devices gradually developed, users were able to do various things with smart devices.

For example, various functions are being utilized with smart devices, such as taking photos, managing personal schedules, checking e-mails on the Internet, viewing documents, depositing/withdrawing, and stock trading.

As smart device users can utilize these functions and store various information, they are also interested in protecting personal information by using the lock function of smart devices, and various methods for setting security of smart devices are being developed. .

In particular, the pattern lock is one of the methods of setting a password for the security of a smart device, and is a method of unlocking the password by setting the screen pattern shape of the smart device in advance and drawing the set pattern. It is more fun than unlocking security by putting a number, and it is intuitive, so it is mainly used in smart devices using the Android operating system.

As the functions of such smart devices are diversified, they are being implemented in the form of multimedia players with complex functions such as photo or video recording, music or video file playback, deposit/withdrawal, and stock trading.

In order to support and increase the function of the smart device, it may be considered to improve the structural part and/or the software part of the smart device.

Recently, in Korea as well as abroad, the problem of theft and loss of inexpensive as well as expensive smart devices is a big problem. There was a problem such as that it was impossible to track the location when it was terminated and moved.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve all the disadvantages and problems of the prior art as described above, and to prevent theft and loss of smart devices, etc. When the user verification method uses password, voice, etc., it provides a smart device safety management method through user verification to prepare for dangerous situations such as kidnapping or kidnapping users with emergency passwords by setting two basic passwords and emergency passwords. There is a purpose.

The terms or words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed as being limited to conventional or dictionary meanings, and the inventor may properly define the concept of the term to describe his invention in the best way. Based on the principle, it should be interpreted as meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the present invention, and the embodiments described in the present specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, so the technical spirit of the present invention It should not be regarded as representing all of them, and it should be understood that there may be various equivalents and modifications.

As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of a method for shutting off power according to a method for safety management of a smart device by user confirmation according to the present invention is a smart device {smart computer (phone, laptop, tablet, etc.), drone, car, robot, airplane , TV and various smart devices} in the power-on state, executes the password setting menu (S10).

And a basic password is set (S20). These basic password settings include patterns, passwords (numbers, letters, etc.), face, iris, fingerprint recognition, and voice. With respect to such a basic password setting, a pattern, password (numbers, characters, etc.), face recognition, iris, fingerprint, voice, etc. are only one of various embodiments, and there is no need to specifically limit the password setting method. This basic password setting is generally performed about two times, because if it is set only once, the user may not be able to accurately recognize the password set by himself/herself.

Accordingly, it is stored in the smart device after the process of confirming the basic password, that is, the second input process (S30).

And a smart device is used routinely (S40).

On the other hand, when power off is requested from the smart device (S50), the smart device control unit requests a screen to input a password (S60).

And when the password is input, the input password is determined (S70).

As a result of the determination (S70), if the password is wrong, the controller of the smart device outputs an encryption error (S80) and requests to re-enter it (S60). However, if the set password is normally input, the smart device maintains the power-off state of the smart device until a signal for power-on is input (S90).

In this way, by requiring the user to input the password correctly when shutting down the smart device, even when the smart device is stolen or lost, it is basically prevented from forcibly shutting down the power of the smart device except the user. The location tracking function of the device makes it easier to find the lost smart device, and induces psychological anxiety in the thief who knows that the smart device is not forcibly turned off even in case of theft, so that it can be tracked. In conclusion, it is effective to minimize the risk of smart device loss and theft by forcing people to give up moving with a smart device or to give up on the purchase of smart devices, such as fencers who know that they will be tracked as well.

base station

200, 210, 220, 230, 240, 250. Base station monitoring and control, connection with local exchanges of public telephone network (PSTN), location of mobile communication subscribers Detection, handover, and the like are performed.

The visitor location registers (VLRs) 400 and 410 are databases that temporarily store subscriber information of the smart device when the smart device moves from another area to the current area that is the jurisdiction registration area (RA).

The telecommunication company server 500 is responsible for operating, maintaining and preserving elements of mobile communication, and includes a home location register (HLR), which is a database that permanently stores subscriber information and location information of smart devices, and communication fees. perform billing for

The communication network 600 includes a wired and wireless Internet network and a public telephone network (PSTN).

Double password setting server 700 provides an application for setting a double password of the present invention, and when an emergency password and emergency contact information are transmitted from a smart device that has installed the application, stores it, and shuts down the power of the smart device with the emergency password When an attempt is made, information such as that the smart device user is currently in a dangerous situation or has lost the smart device is automatically transmitted to the telecommunication company server 500 or emergency contact and the National Police Agency server 800 . That is, the voice is set to be transmitted through communication with the emergency contact, and the emergency situation and the current location of the

smart devices

100 and 110 are transmitted in the form of a message to the National Police Agency server 800 at a preset period. At this time, the current location of the

smart devices

100 and 110 is a preset time (eg, 1 minute to 10 minutes) unit or when the location is changed, that is, the location of the

smart devices

100 and 110 transmitted through the base station is registered. It can be set to be transmitted whenever the location change of the

smart devices

100 and 110 is registered in the visitor location register (VLR) or the home location register (HLR). This is done between the telecommunication company server 500 and the National Police Agency server 800, and the current situation is identified by voice call, and as the location is transmitted, the user (victim) has the advantage of being able to quickly respond to an emergency situation. .

Of course, in this double password setting server 700, the telecommunication company server 500 may replace the function, which is a case in which the smart device manufacturer provides the function for the double password setting and the telecommunication company (SKT, KT). , LGU+, etc.) provides the corresponding function, the telecommunication company server 500 provides a service for double password setting, and when the double password setting server 700 provides the double password program in the form of an application, double password The setting server 700 may provide a corresponding service. Of course, even if the double password setting server 700 provides the corresponding program, the telecommunication company server 500 may provide it as a separate paid additional service function.

With respect to such a double encryption function, an embodiment thereof will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 .

Another embodiment of the power-off method according to the smart device safety management method by user confirmation according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, in the power-on state of the smart device (S100), executes the password setting menu (S110) .

And a basic password is set (S120). These basic password settings include patterns, passwords (numbers, letters, etc.), face, iris, fingerprint recognition, and voice. Of course, with respect to the basic password setting, pattern, password (numbers, characters, etc.), face recognition, iris, fingerprint, voice, etc. are only one of various embodiments, and there is no need to specifically limit the password setting method. This basic password setting is generally performed about two times, because if it is set only once, the user may not be able to accurately recognize the password set by himself/herself.

Accordingly, it is stored in the smart device after the process of confirming the basic password, that is, the second input process (S130).

Then, when the user selects a user confirmation menu when the power of the smart device is turned off and the user selects a user confirmation menu when the power is turned off, a setting is made (S140).

In the smart device, a setting menu for emergency password setting is added to apply the emergency password setting menu function (S150). In general, if there is no touch or operation on the smart device for a preset period of time by various password setting methods in the smart device, the screen is automatically terminated, and the set password is used to execute the function of the smart device by touch or operation. In the present invention, in addition to this, a program for setting a double emergency password was added (secondary).

This user verification system basically checks the user to shut down the smart device and prevents the smart device from shutting down if the password is not known even if the device is stolen or lost. You can make a criminal give up trying to steal a smart device, and even if a user commits a crime while in possession, if the smart device is shut down with an emergency password other than the default password by setting a double password, the screen of the smart device can be closed; By terminating all functions other than the function of maintaining the state where electronic tracking is possible, such as terminating the speaker function for generating various ringing tones, it is possible to maintain a state where the user can know the moving location of the smart device possessed by the criminal without the criminal's knowledge. have.

In addition, if the user terminates with the registered emergency password when setting the password, an emergency is notified to the previously registered contact, so acquaintances or guardians of the registered contact can quickly check and respond to dangerous situations, and power off is attempted by the emergency password. If the screen and speaker are turned off and the microphone is on, only automatic transmission of voices and other sounds to pre-registered contacts is possible (eg, automatic call connection, etc.) to report the current emergency to pre-registered acquaintances It is intended to be used in a variety of ways, such as to let the guardian know and to get out of a dangerous situation.

According to this emergency password setting function, an emergency password different from the basic password is set (S160) for pattern, password (numbers, letters, etc.), face, iris, fingerprint, voice, etc. (S160), and the emergency password is reconfirmed and saved do (S170). In this case, the contents of the emergency password setting may be displayed on the screen of the smart device, and contents such as guiding the emergency password setting method may be displayed.

Then, when the power is turned off with the emergency password, automatic contact emergency contact information is registered (S180). This can allow multiple interventions for the user's acquaintances or guardians' contact information after reconfirming the emergency password. Try to make a call to the contact. Of course, it is possible to set 112 as the highest priority order of these emergency contacts, or if the user does not register the automatic contact emergency contact information after registering the emergency password, it can be programmed so that 112 automatically becomes the highest priority of the emergency contact.

When this emergency password and emergency contact storage is completed, the control unit of the smart device transmits the emergency password and emergency contact information to the telecommunication company server 500 or double password setting server 700 to which the smart device (smart device) is subscribed, and the corresponding telecommunication company The server 500 or the double password setting server 700 stores the corresponding information (S190).

And a smart device is used routinely (S200).

On the other hand, when the power shutdown is requested from the smart device (S210), the smart device controller requests a screen to input a password (S220).

And when the password is input, the input password is determined (S230).

As a result of the determination (S230), if it is the default password, the power of the smart device is actually turned off (S240).

However, as a result of the determination (S230), if the password is wrong, the controller of the smart device outputs an encryption error to the screen (S250) and requests to re-enter the password (S220). And if it is continuously wrong, the power of the smart device is not turned off. In this case, at least it can be used to check the current location of the smart device in case of loss, theft or loss of the smart device, and if the power of the smart device is not turned off, or if the thief has it, it can be used to avoid the risk of carrying the smart device. In such a case, it helps to find the smart device again, prevents the exposure of the data on the user's smart device in case of loss, as well as remotely deletes data in case of loss or theft. Thus, the risk of loss of smart devices can be minimized.

On the other hand, if the determination result (S230) is the double-entered emergency password, the smart device control unit ends the screen to show a normal power off screen. Then, the emergency password input situation is transmitted to the communication company server 500 or the double password setting server 700 through the base station (S260).

Accordingly, the communication company server 500 transmits the emergency password input status to the emergency contact (S270).

And when the location information of the smart device is updated through the base station, the communication company server 500 transmits the updated location information to the requesting device (emergency contact information, the National Police Agency server, etc.) (S280). At this time, since the emergency password may be a dangerous situation for the smart device user, in the case of the emergency password, the screen, speaker, and various ringing sounds (including vibration) of the smart device are in an end state, so the smart device appears to be in the same state as when the power is turned off. It can be used more usefully. On the other hand, the communication company server 500 may establish a call connection with the emergency contact input when setting the emergency password through the switching center and the base station.

In order to return to normal after inputting the emergency password, the smart device is turned on and then the basic password is input, then it returns to the normal state and informs the servers that the normal state has been restored.

Although the present invention has been described with the above examples, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these examples, and various modifications may be made within the scope without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the examples disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical spirit of the present invention, but to explain, and the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention is not limited by these examples. The protection scope of the present invention should be construed by the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope equivalent thereto should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention.

The present invention prevents theft and loss of smart devices by enabling the termination only after confirming the user when the smart device is shut down.
