Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an authentication registration setting process of the electronic authentication apparatus 100 and the authentication object 200. Fig.

In step S110, pairing is performed through recognition between the electronic authentication device 100 and the plurality of electronic devices 200 to be authenticated. For example, when the bulletin pitcher module of the electronic authentication apparatus 100 is activated, a large number of electronic appliances 200 to be authenticated are searched for. At this time, the user selects the authentication target electronic device 200 searched for authentication setting. The user executes the authentication setting application of the selected electronic device 200 to be authenticated.

In step S120, the user performs authentication setting of the selected electronic device 200 to be authenticated through the authentication target application. The authentication setting item sets the effective access range between the electronic authentication device 100 and the electronic device 200 and the security level of the electronic device to be authenticated. The effective access range between the electronic authentication device 100 and the electronic device 200 to be authenticated can be selected by the user according to the empirically determined signal intensity or the electronic authentication device 100 and the electronic device 200 , I.e., the signal strength when the electronic authentication device 100 approaches the electronic device 200 to be authenticated within a predetermined range in a state where the user has the electronic authentication device 100. [ The electronic authentication apparatus 100 can obtain the strength of the communication signal in real time during the communication with the electronic device 200 to be authenticated or Zigbee communication. Of course, in addition to the distance determination through the signal strength, it is possible to determine the position through peripheral Wi-Fi sharers (not shown) and the GPS position. This can be suitably applied according to the characteristics or the environment of the electronic device to be authenticated.

It is preferable that the process of setting and authenticating the electronic device 200 to be authenticated differently according to the importance is performed differently. For example, the front door can be simply opened with a password, a knock code, a pattern input, a simple touch, etc., and the safe can perform user authentication through fingerprint or iris recognition.

In step S130, when the user sets the security level of the electronic device 200 to be authenticated, the use authentication UI 172 corresponding to the set security level is displayed on the display 170. [ The electronic authentication apparatus 100 may store or generate various usage authentication UIs according to various security levels in advance.

In step S140, the user inputs an authentication key such as a fingerprint, an iris, a password, a pattern, a knock code, etc. in the use authentication UI 172. [ At this time, it is preferable that the authentication key is repeatedly input two or more times.

In step S150, the setting items (effective access range, security level, authentication key) set in the steps described above, the unique number of the electronic authentication device, the unique number of the electronic device to be authenticated, and the user information are stored in the electronic authentication device 100 And transmits it to the electronic device 200 to be authenticated.

In step S160, the electronic device 200 to be authenticated acquires the setting items (effective access range, security level, authentication key) received from the electronic authentication device 100, the unique number of the electronic authentication device, the unique number of the electronic device to be authenticated, And user information.

In step S170, the electronic device 200 to be authenticated is determined to be controlled through the central control system (server) 300, and is terminated when the control is independently selected. If the central control is selected for the electronic device 200 to be authenticated, the following step S180 is performed.

In step S180, the electronic device 200 to be authenticated acquires the authentication number of the electronic device to be authenticated, the setting effective access range, the security level of the electronic device to be authenticated, the electronic authentication device unique number, the authentication key, (300).

3 is a flowchart showing an electronic authentication method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S210, the user accesses the electronic device 200 to be authenticated, for example, the front door or the car, with the electronic authentication device 100, for example, a smart phone or a smart watch. At this time, the electronic authentication device 100 or the electronic device to be authenticated 200 must be activated with a communication module, a sensor, a GPS, etc., which can recognize each other while the power is turned on. If you are not active, you can activate it manually.

In step S220, the electronic authentication apparatus 100 recognizes whether the electronic device 200 to be authenticated exists within a predetermined distance range. At this time, the identification number and the authentication level of the recognized electronic device 200 to be authenticated can be confirmed.

In step S230, the usage authentication UI 172 matching the security level confirmed for use authentication of the electronic device 200 to be authenticated is automatically displayed. Here, the unlocking UI may be displayed when the electronic authentication apparatus 100 is locked by a password. That is, the user may substitute the authentication of the electronic device 200 to be authenticated by inputting the unlock password.

In step S240, the user inputs a password, for example, fingerprint, iris, password, pattern, knock code, etc., in the use authentication UI 172 for use authentication. The electronic authentication apparatus 100 determines whether the input password is an authorized user input, and transmits the authentication key and the electronic authentication apparatus unique number to the electronic device 200 to be authenticated if the user is a legitimate user.

In step S250, the electronic device 200 to be authenticated confirms the electronic authentication device registration information after receiving the authentication key and the electronic authentication device unique number from the electronic authentication device 100. [ The electronic device 200 to be authenticated can confirm the electronic authentication device registration information itself or can confirm it through the server 300. [

In step S260, when the authentication target electronic device 200 confirms that the authentication key is an authentication key by a legitimate user, the electronic device 200 releases the lock device.

 In step S270, the electronic device 200 to be authenticated judges whether or not the log information is stored in the central control system (server) 300, and ends when the log information is not stored. If it is stored, the next step S280 is performed.

In step S280, the electronic device 200 to be authenticated transmits the log information related to the use of the lock device to the central control system (server) 300 and stores the log information.

As described above, the user does not need to operate the authentication application on a small-sized display such as a smart watch by automatically displaying the use authentication UI 172 by simply accessing the lock device to be released. In addition, various types of security authentication can be performed by displaying the use authentication UI differently according to the security level. For example, if the security level is high, a secondary use authentication UI such as a fingerprint or iris recognition and a primary use authentication UI such as a simple password or pattern input may be used step by step.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
