Description

Earphone with identity authentication function

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of communication, in particular to an earphone with an identity authentication function.

Background

A USB Key (mobile digital certificate or electronic smart Key) is a hardware device with a USB interface, and is mainly applied to network authentication. The method is internally provided with a CPU or an intelligent card chip, has a certain storage space, can store a private Key of a user and a digital certificate representing the unique identity of the user, generates the private Key of the user in a USB Key with high security degree, cannot be exported to the outside of the USB Key for life, and realizes the authentication of the identity of the user by utilizing a public Key algorithm internally arranged in the USB Key. The private key of the user is stored in the coded lock, so that the safety of user identity authentication or data interaction confirmation can be ensured.

The existing USB Key as an effective hardware security product has been widely applied to user authentication or data interaction confirmation. For example, applications involving user authentication or data interaction. However, the USB Key device can only be used in devices with USB interfaces, such as desktop computers and notebook computers, that is, if such an authentication method is selected, the user must use the device with USB interface. At present, mobile terminals such as smart phones, tablet computers and the like have higher and higher popularity among users, and even some users do not use desktop computers or notebook computers any more except for the needs of working, however, mobile terminals such as smart phones, tablet computers and the like generally do not have USB interfaces compatible with USB Key devices, and therefore, when the applications on the terminals are used for identity authentication, data interaction and other operations, the security authentication mode based on the USB Key devices cannot be applied.

At present, a novel hardware digital certificate ("audio shield") based on audio port communication appears, which can be applied to mobile terminals such as smart phones and the like, and performs data transmission through audio. However, since the device needs to be carried separately and needs to be continuously plugged and unplugged when being used or not used, the user experience is not high.

It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

According to the embodiment of the application, the earphone with the identity authentication function is provided, when the earphone is connected with the mobile terminal through the audio interface of the mobile terminal, the earphone can listen to the audio played by the mobile terminal, and can also be used for user identity authentication.

Fig. 1 schematically shows a block diagram of a headset with an identity authentication function according to an embodiment of the present application.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the headset 100 may include: a mode switching module 110, a listening module 120, and an authentication module 130.

The mode conversion module 110 may set an operation mode of the headset, wherein the operation mode includes an authentication mode and a listening mode.

The listening module 120 may listen to the audio played by the mobile terminal in a listening mode.

The authentication module 130 may authenticate the user identity when the user logs in the data interaction platform through the mobile terminal to perform data processing in the authentication mode; and the authentication module and the mobile terminal carry out data transmission through an audio interface.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the authentication module may be a chip having a hardware digital certificate (USBKey) function, for example, an encryption chip based on an asymmetric encryption principle, for example, the headset may be a line control headset, and an encryption chip based on an asymmetric encryption principle may be built in a line control device of the line control headset, that is, a line control function of listening to audio by the headset and an identity authentication function are integrated in the line control device. The chip with the hardware digital certificate (USBKey) function can store a private key or a password of a digital certificate user of the user, and can be used for authenticating the identity of the user when the user performs data interaction with the data processing platform through the mobile terminal, for example, when the user purchases goods online for payment, the identity authentication is performed when payment is performed on a payment page provided by a third party payment platform, that is, the identity of the user is authenticated through data interaction with the third party platform, for example, a digital signature is performed by using the private key of the user.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the operation mode of the headset 100 may include an authentication mode and a listening mode, when the mobile terminal is in an audio playing state (e.g., playing a sound file or a video file), the headset should be in the listening mode, i.e., the listening module of the headset is operated; when a user logs in the data interaction platform through the mobile terminal to perform data processing (for example, when online payment is performed, the user logs in the payment platform to perform payment operation), the headset should be in an authentication mode, that is, an authentication module of the headset operates. The mode conversion module 110 may set an operation mode of the headset, i.e. switch the operation mode of the headset between a listening mode and an authentication mode.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the mode conversion module may be a switch capable of being manually controlled, specifically, the switch may be a push-button switch or a toggle switch, and the switch may be manually controlled by a user according to a use requirement, for example, as shown in fig. 2, a switch 20 may be provided on a line control device of a line control headset, the switch being a toggle switch, wherein the toggle 21 is slidable along the sliding slot 22, an operation mode of the headset is a listening mode when the toggle 21 slides to the position a, and an operation mode of the headset is an authentication mode when the toggle 21 slides to the position b. Thus, the user can switch the working mode of the earphone between the authentication mode and the listening mode through the toggle switch. For example, when a user wants to listen to music played by the mobile terminal through the earphone, the operating mode of the earphone can be adjusted to the listening mode through the switch. When the user wants to use the identity authentication function of the headset, for example, to make online payment, the operating mode of the headset can be adjusted to the authentication mode through the switch.

For example, when a user purchases goods online and pays on a third party payment platform, a prompt for inserting a hardware digital certificate appears on a payment page provided by the third party platform, for example, a prompt box for prompting the user to insert the hardware digital certificate (USBKey) in a corresponding interface of a mobile terminal is popped up at the front end of the page, so as to authenticate the identity of the user. At this time, if the user is using the headset (i.e., the headset is already connected to the mobile terminal), the user may manually control a switch on the headset to adjust the operating mode of the headset to the authentication mode; and if the user does not use the earphone currently, inserting the earphone into an audio interface of the mobile terminal, and adjusting the working mode of the earphone to an authentication mode through a switch on the earphone. At this time, the authentication module of the earphone authenticates the identity of the user, the earphone is provided with a chip with the function of a hardware digital certificate, the chip can store a private key, a password, a personal digital certificate of the user and the like, and can authenticate the identity of the user by performing operations such as encryption operation, digital signature and the like, therefore, the mobile terminal can identify that the hardware digital certificate is inserted, read the specific identifier of the hardware digital certificate and compare the specific identifier with the specific identifier of the hardware certificate which is acquired by the server from the user information of the user and is bound with the account number of the user, if the comparison result is consistent, the hardware digital certificate is legal equipment, the user is prompted to input the password, and after the user inputs the password, the mobile terminal verifies whether the password input by the user is consistent with the password which is stored in the hardware digital certificate and is preset by the user, and if the identity authentication is consistent with the identity authentication request, the server of the third-party payment platform performs data interaction with the authentication module through the mobile terminal to complete identity authentication. The data interaction includes, for example, a hardware digital certificate chip of the authentication module performing digital signature by using a user private key.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the mode conversion module may include: and the identification module can identify the current use state of the mobile terminal. And the setting module can set the working mode of the earphone according to the current using state of the mobile terminal.

That is, the mode conversion module may automatically set the operation mode or perform the conversion of the operation mode according to the current use state of the mobile terminal connected to the headset. Namely, the use state of the currently connected mobile terminal is identified through the identification module, and the setting module sets the working mode of the earphone according to the current use state of the mobile terminal.

When the identification module identifies that the mobile terminal is in an audio playing state, the setting module can set the working mode of the earphone to a listening mode. When the identification module identifies that the mobile terminal is in a data interaction state, the setting module may set the working mode of the earphone to an authentication mode.

For example, when the mobile terminal is in an audio playing state, if the earphone is inserted into an audio interface (earphone jack) of the mobile terminal and the identification module identifies that the mobile terminal is currently in the audio playing state, the setting module may set the operating mode of the earphone to a listening mode, and when a user performs data interaction with the data processing platform through the mobile terminal (e.g., when performing online payment), when the user inserts the earphone, the identification module may identify that the mobile terminal is in the data interaction state, and the setting module may set the operating mode of the earphone to an authentication mode.

According to an embodiment of the application, the identifying module may identify the current usage state of the mobile terminal by: when the audio signal from the mobile terminal carries a predetermined header, identifying the current use state of the mobile terminal as a data interaction state; and when the audio signal from the mobile terminal does not carry a preset header, identifying that the current use state of the mobile terminal is an audio playing state. Wherein the predetermined header is used to identify that the audio signal from the mobile terminal is a digital interactive signal. That is, when the audio signal from the mobile terminal carries the predetermined header, the identification module can recognize that the audio signal carries the predetermined header, thereby identifying the audio signal with the predetermined header as a data interactive signal, and when the audio signal from the mobile terminal does not carry the predetermined header, the identification module can recognize that the audio signal does not carry the predetermined header, thereby identifying the audio signal without the predetermined header as a sound transmission signal.

And when the audio signal from the mobile terminal is a data interaction signal, it indicates that the mobile terminal is in a data interaction state, and when the audio signal from the mobile terminal is a sound transmission signal, it indicates that the mobile terminal is in an audio playing state. That is, when the audio signal from the mobile terminal carries the predetermined header, the current use state of the mobile terminal is a data interaction state; when the audio signal from the mobile terminal does not carry the predetermined header, the current use state of the mobile terminal is an audio playing state, that is, the identification module determines whether the mobile terminal is currently in the audio playing state or the data interaction state by identifying whether the audio signal from the mobile terminal is a sound transmission signal or a data interaction signal (an audio signal carrying interaction data).

According to an embodiment of the present application, a default operation mode of the headset may also be set, that is, an operation mode of the headset when the headset is not connected to the mobile terminal, or when the mobile terminal is already connected but the mobile terminal is not in an audio playing state or a data interaction state (for example, the mobile terminal is in a standby state). When the mobile terminal such as a mobile phone is used, the earphone can be generally used for voice call, and when the mobile terminal such as the mobile phone is connected to an external device such as an earphone, the mobile terminal can be automatically switched to the voice call through the external device, so that the default working mode of the earphone can be set as the listening mode, and the daily normal use of the earphone is not influenced. And when the user finishes data interaction with the data processing platform through the mobile terminal, the working mode of the earphone can be automatically switched to the recycling listening mode.

According to an embodiment of the application, the headset may further comprise a confirmation module for confirming the data interaction. For example, a button may be provided on the drive-by-wire device of the drive-by-wire headset, which button may be pressed to confirm the data interaction when the user confirms the data interaction with the data processing platform.
