However, even in the latter case, the member authentication code is not necessarily included in the step of generating the authentication code and is not generated in a batch, and the inclusion of the member authentication code in the authentication code generated by the authentication code generator 120 is performed. If necessary, the member authentication code may also be included in the authentication code for coupons and discounts. However, in the case of the authentication code for coupons and discount vouchers, because a large-scale promotion for an unspecified number is required, only the inclusion of the member authentication code in the authentication code is omitted to maximize the efficiency of the authentication code generation and provision.

In addition, whether or not the member authentication code is included in the authentication code generated from the authentication code generator 120, the corresponding authentication code is provided to the wireless terminal 115 is provided by the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 In the step of generating the electronic authentication information or the electronic authentication image, the member authentication code applied to the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 is combined with the authentication code provided as described above to generate the electronic authentication information and the electronic authentication image. Therefore, after the authentication code is provided from the authentication code generator 120 to the wireless terminal 115 (second step), the electronic authentication information is transmitted from the wireless terminal 115 to the authentication code generator 120 to provide the electronic authentication information. The process stored in the D / B 125 (third step) and the electronic authentication information read from the electronic authentication image reading apparatus 140 are transferred to the authentication code generator 120. The process of (operation 4) includes a user identification information on the user's wireless terminal 115 to the electronic authentication information.

That is, even when the authentication code is not included in the authentication code from the authentication code generator 120, the authentication code is processed by the electronic authentication image generator mounted on the wireless terminal 115. Since the authentication information for the user of the wireless terminal 115 is included in the step of being used and used, the authentication code generator 120 does not include the member authentication code in the generated authentication code. Is processed into electronic authentication information, and it is possible to confirm and approve which wireless terminal 115 user has used the electronic authentication information and the electronic authentication image generated from the authentication code.

However, when the verification code generator 120 generates the verification code, generating the verification code including the member verification code in the verification code, the verification code generated from the verification code generator 120 generates the verification code delivery medium 135. High level security, such as confidentiality, authentication, integrity, nonrepudiation, etc., for the authentication code delivered to the wireless terminal 115 in the second step provided to the wireless terminal 115 through And secure the high level security in advance for the third step of transmitting the electronic authentication information generated from the authentication code to the authentication code generator 120 and the fourth step of transmitting the electronic authentication information read from the electronic authentication image. To do this.

Of course, even if the high level of security is not necessary as described above, the authentication code delivery medium 135 for transmitting the authentication code from the authentication code generator 120 to the wireless terminal 115 targets a specific member in the authentication code.

15 is a wireless terminal equipped with a personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 through various types of authentication code delivery medium 135 after the authentication code generator 120 generates an authentication code in a second step. A simple flow diagram of an exemplary process of providing an authentication code to 115.

A client connected to the Internet, a wireless data communication and a wireless terminal 115 connected to the wireless Internet, an authentication code request terminal system that obtains authorization code request authority from the authentication code generator 120, or an authentication code generator 120 If the authentication code generation requester such as the request to the authentication code generator 120, the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 generates the authentication code for generating the electronic authentication information and the electronic authentication image (1500), the authentication The code generator 120 may generate the authentication code generator 120 through the wireless terminal 115 information provided by the authentication code generation requesters as described above, or the wireless terminal 115 information obtained from the HLR / VLR of the mobile communication system. Personalized digital authentication image that can generate digital authentication information and digital authentication image from the verification code generated in Agents and 160 extracts the wireless terminal 115 is equipped with linking information 1505.

When the authentication code generator 120 extracts the wireless terminal 115 information on which the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 is mounted as described above, the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent mounted on the wireless terminal 115 is extracted. The member authentication code D / B 110 of the electronic authentication image generation agent provider 100 storing the member authentication code applied to the 160 and the member authentication code D / B 110 of the authentication code generator 120 are synchronized. (1510).

That is, the authentication code generator 120 generates and provides an authentication code necessary for generating an electronic authentication image, and in order to recover the provided authentication code, the authentication code generator 120 stores the member authentication code stored in the electronic authentication image generation agent provider 100. It is necessary to provide or share the member authentication code D / B 110 from the electronic authentication image generation agent provider 100.

When the member authentication code stored in the member authentication code D / B 110 of the electronic authentication image generation agent provider 100 is transferred to the authentication code generator 120, the authentication code generator 120 sends the member authentication code to the member. The authentication code is stored in the D / B 110, and the process is synchronized and processed at the same time as the new member authentication code is updated in the electronic authentication image generation agent provider 100.

The synchronized member authentication code as described above is linked to the electronic authentication information D / B (125) of the authentication code generator 120 and the authentication code recovery D / B (130) and the RDBMS (1515), through the above process Authorization code generator 120 is able to automatically determine which member the authentication code has been generated and provided, and the authentication code provided from which member.

In particular, in the above process, the authentication code requester requests the authentication code generator 120 to generate an authentication code, and the authentication code generator 120 generates an authentication code including a member authentication code to generate a personalized electronic authentication image. This is effective when provided to the wireless terminal 115 on which the agent 160 is mounted.

However, when the authentication code generator 120 provides an authentication code for an unspecified number of wireless terminals 115, the second step of providing the authentication code to the wireless terminal 115 by the authentication code generator 120. The member authentication code stored in synchronization with the member authentication code D / B 110 is not used. However, after the authentication code is provided to the wireless terminal 115, a third step of transmitting the electronic authentication information to the authentication code generator 120 from the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 mounted on the wireless terminal 115 is performed. And, in the fourth step in which the electronic authentication image generated from the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 is read by the electronic authentication image reading apparatus 140 and provided to the authentication code generator 120, an authentication code is assigned to a member. It is provided and used in the process of confirming that it is recovered.

Therefore, when the authentication code generator 120 interlocks the member authentication code D / B 110 with the electronic authentication information D / B 125 and the authentication code recovery D / B 130 as an RDBMS, the authentication code generator 120 In operation 120, it is determined whether to include the member authentication code in the authentication code to be generated at 120.

If the authentication code can be used without a high-level security authentication process, or because it targets a plurality of unspecified wireless terminals 115, it is difficult to insert the member authentication code in the authentication code in the process of providing the authentication code (1535). The verification code generator 120 does not include the member verification code in the process of generating the verification code (1540).

That is, the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 mounted on the image wireless terminal 115 already includes a member authentication code through the process as shown in FIG. In the process of recovering the electronic authentication information through the authentication image reading device 140, since the member authentication information inserted in the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 is included and recovered, the authentication code generator 120 Even when the authentication code is not necessarily included in the step of generating the authentication code, the electronic authentication information for the specific member may be recovered.

That is, when the authentication code generator 120 provides the authentication code through the offline authentication code delivery medium 135, that is, through mass media such as a product packaging paper or a newspaper or a television advertisement, a high level of security authentication is required. It is not easy to include a member verification code for a specific member in the process of generating the verification code. In this case, the authentication code generator 120 generates only the authentication code corresponding to the product of the coupon irrespective of the member authentication code and provides it to the wireless terminal 115 through the authentication code delivery medium 135 The wireless terminal 115 generates electronic authentication information through the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 and transmits the electronic authentication information to the authentication code generator 120. The electronic terminal generates an electronic authentication image using the generated electronic authentication information. Thereafter, in the step of recovering the corresponding authentication code to the authentication code generator 120 through the electronic authentication image reading apparatus 140, a member authentication code for the corresponding member may be obtained.

On the other hand, if it is relatively easy to apply a high-level security authentication policy to the authentication code generated by the authentication code generator 120 or insert the personalized member authentication code into the authentication code in the process of providing the authentication code (1525), The code generator 120 generates an authentication code including the member authentication code (1530).

The authentication code including the member authentication code as described above is generated in the authentication code generator 120 and provided to the wireless terminal 115 via the authentication code delivery medium 135 (1545), and then to the wireless terminal 115 The confidentiality, authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation of the authentication code provided through the authentication process compared with the member authentication code included in the on-board electronic authentication image generation agent 160 is secured.

In particular, when the authentication code is generated by including the member authentication code as described above, it is very useful for financial transactions such as electronic money, electronic tickets, and wireless credit cards using the wireless terminal 115. That is, the authentication code generator 120 transmits the authentication code through an authentication code delivery medium 135, such as a wireless electronic money charger, a wireless ticket machine, or a credit card payment machine, which is connected to a wired / wireless internet, a financial computer network, or a payment network. When provided, the authentication code generator 120 may generate an authentication code including a member authentication code through the terminal devices, and the security code generator 120 and the authentication code delivery medium 135 may each be secured. Since a high level of security is maintained through the system, the wireless terminal 115 is provided with an authentication code including a member authentication code while a high level of security is secured.

When the authentication code to be provided from the authentication code generator 120 to the wireless terminal 115 on which the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 is mounted through the above process, the authentication code is on / offline and wired or wireless. It is delivered to a variety of authentication code delivery medium 135 on the Internet, the authentication code delivery medium 135 provides the authentication code to the wireless terminal 115 by each feature.

That is, if the authentication code delivery medium 135 is printed on the product packaging, the authentication code is provided to the wireless terminal 115 along the distribution path in the state printed on the packaging paper of the product, authentication code delivery medium 135 Is an advertisement included in a newspaper or magazine or a mass media such as a radio or television, an authentication code is provided to the wireless terminal 115 in the state included in the advertisement. In addition, when the authentication code delivery medium 135 is a wired or wireless Internet itself or a terminal device connected to a network, the authentication code generated by the authentication code generator 120 is provided to the wireless terminal 115 in the form of an electronic authentication code. .

Meanwhile, how the wireless terminal 115 receives the authentication code from the authentication code delivery medium 135 varies slightly depending on the type of the authentication code delivery medium 135. For example, when the authentication code medium is included in the printed form or advertisement, the authentication code may be provided by the user of the wireless terminal 115 by directly inputting the authentication code into the wireless terminal 115. When the recognition code for automatically detecting the authentication code printed on the authentication code delivery medium 135 is equipped with the reference code 115, the authentication code may be provided to the wireless terminal 115 through the corresponding authentication code recognition device. have. That is, if the authentication code is printed in the form of a barcode or hologram sticker, and the wireless terminal 115 is equipped with a digital camera or the like that can recognize the printed authentication code, the user of the wireless terminal 115 is authenticated Instead of directly inputting a code, by recognizing an authentication code printed by a digital camera, the corresponding authentication code may be provided to the wireless terminal 115.

However, if the validity of the corresponding authentication code is not confirmed through the above process (1725), the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 outputs an unavailability message for the authentication code (1730), and the corresponding wireless terminal. In step 115, the authentication code is deleted and the process of generating electronic authentication information is terminated (1735).

Through the above process, the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 mounted on the wireless terminal 115 may include the electronic code encoded in the electronic authentication image from the authentication code provided through the authentication code delivery medium 135. When the authentication information is generated, the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 determines whether to receive the permission by transmitting the electronic authentication information to the authentication code generator 120 (1740).

In general, if the authentication code generated from the authentication code generator 120 and provided to the wireless terminal 115 through the authentication code delivery medium 135 includes the member authentication code, the authentication code requires a high level of security. In addition, the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 transmits the electronic authentication information generated from the authentication code to the authentication code generator 120, and receives the use authority from the authentication code generator 120. However, if the authentication code does not include a member authentication code, or if the authorization permission for the electronic authentication information is omitted by the authentication code operation policy of the authentication code generator 120, the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 Is switched to the electronic authentication image generation mode which can generate the electronic authentication image by encoding the electronic authentication information.

If the personalized electronic authentication image generation agent 160 mounted in the wireless terminal 115 determines to receive the authority to use the electronic authentication information by transmitting the electronic authentication information to the authentication code generator 120 ( 1745, the electronic authentication image generation agent 160 transmits the electronic authentication information to the authentication code generator 120 through wireless communication or wireless Internet (1750).

The wireless terminal 115 deletes the electronic authentication information generated as described above and the authentication code provided through the authentication code delivery medium 135 and ends the process of generating the electronic authentication information. (1735).

On the other hand, if the security is verified by securing confidentiality, authentication, integrity, and nonrepudiation of the electronic authentication information received by the authentication code generator 120 (1760), the authentication code generator 120 is the wireless terminal 115 In step 1765, the personalized digital authentication image generation agent 160 mounted in the (1765) is given permission to use the electronic authentication information. The wireless terminal 115, which has been granted permission to use the electronic authentication information from the authentication code generator 120, may generate an electronic authentication image including personalized information that is encoded from the electronic authentication information. The generation agent 160 switches from the electronic authentication information generation mode to the electronic authentication image generation mode (1775).
