It is desirable to be. The second authentication information acquisition unit 112 transmits the captured digital image information as the second authentication information to the authentication processing unit 120.

The third authentication information acquisition unit 113 acquires third authentication information for third authentication for a user who boards the vehicle 10. In this case, the third authentication information is biometric information or non-biometric information. The third authentication information acquisition unit 113 acquires third authentication information for the user when non-authentication determination is made for the user in the second authentication step. Alternatively, the third authentication information acquisition unit 113 acquires third authentication information for the user when the authentication determination for the user is suspended in the second authentication step. The third authentication information may acquire a different type of biometric information from the first authentication information and the second authentication information, or may be configured as a separate authentication means other than the biometric information. For example, when a person's face image is acquired using the first and second authentication information, the third authentication information may be fingerprint information, vein information, iris information, etc. as biometric authentication information.

Acquire. Alternatively, the authentication processing unit 120 acquires the user's voice information from the third authentication information acquisition unit 113.

The authentication processing unit 120 compares the registered face image and the evaluated face image to determine whether they are similar, but the determination of whether the face is similar is executed by a machine learning method using deep learning. In addition, the authentication processing unit 120 pre-installs face recognition software programmed using a programming language such as Python in order to execute deep learning. In addition, a deep learning technology is used to determine whether or not the face is similar using an open source library such as Tensor Flow and a programming library for real-time computer vision such as OpenCV.

6 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a third authentication procedure for a user who boards a vehicle equipped with a vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, the third authentication information acquisition unit 113 acquires fingerprint pattern image information of a passenger as third authentication information. In this case, the third authentication information acquisition unit 113 may be configured as a fingerprint reader. The third authentication information obtaining unit 113 transmits the obtained third authentication information to the authentication processing unit 120. The authentication processing unit 120 compares the fingerprint image stored in the storage unit 180 with the detected fingerprint image according to a deep learning algorithm, and performs third authentication for a corresponding user.

In the third authentication procedure, when there is no storage information of the storage unit 180 that matches the third authentication information, the controller 130 operates in a control mode. In the case of being recognized as a non-authenticated user in the first, second and third authentication procedures described above, the controller 130 may restrict a notification or vehicle control right to block access to the vehicle of the non-authenticated user. In addition, the controller 130 may operate the vehicle 10 in a control mode when an unauthorized user boards the vehicle 10. Hereinafter, when operating in the control mode, the control mode of the vehicle 10 by the controller 130 will be described in detail.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an operation of a control mode for a vehicle in which an unauthenticated user boards in the third authentication procedure shown in FIG. 6. When the driver who boards the vehicle 10 is determined to be an unauthorized user, the vehicle control device 100 transmits the unauthorized information to the remote manager 200, the owner terminal (not shown) of the vehicle 10, or a designated manager through the network. Delivered to the terminal (not shown). Here, the remote manager 200 is a server terminal of a vehicle management service company to which the vehicle 10 has already subscribed. A plurality of such remote managers 200 may exist, and unauthorized information can be transmitted to the remote manager 200 closest to the vehicle 10 or unauthorized information can be transmitted to the remote manager 200 previously designated by the user. have.

7(a) shows that after the remote manager 200 receives unauthorized information, it requests the location information of the vehicle 10 to update the latest location information. The remote manager 200 calculates a path between the vehicle 10 and the remote manager 200 at the expense of the received location information and its own location information. The remote manager 200 calculates the estimated time required by considering real-time traffic information on the calculated route. The remote manager 200 is a case in which the estimated time required is less than a predetermined time (eg, 10 minutes) (if it is within the control area).

In this case, it is determined that it is within the control area. The remote manager 200 controls the vehicle 10 in the control area to move to a specific area in the control area or to a separate designated location outside the control area through direct control. At this time, a specific area is an area in which location information such as large roadsides, public institutions, public offices, and parking lots is pre-designated.

7(b) shows that after the remote manager 200 receives unauthorized information, it requests the location information of the vehicle 10 to update the latest location information. The remote manager 200 calculates a path between the vehicle 10 and the remote manager 200 at the expense of the received location information and its own location information. The remote manager 200 calculates the estimated time required by considering real-time traffic information on the calculated route. The remote manager 200 is a case in which the estimated time required is greater than a predetermined time (eg, 10 minutes) (out of the control area).

In this case, the remote manager 200 controls the vehicle control device 100 installed in the vehicle 10 to move the vehicle 10 from the current position to a recoverable position rather than directly controlling the vehicle 10 A signal is transmitted, and location information of the vehicle 10 is received in real time to monitor the location.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a process of a vehicle control method using a biometric-based vehicle control device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8, the vehicle control apparatus 100 detects a user approaching the vehicle 10 using the distance sensor 161 (step 1). In a situation in which biometric information of a user adjacent to the vehicle 10 can be obtained, primary authentication information is obtained (second step). At this time, the vehicle control device 100 acquires primary authentication information by capturing the user's face image information using the side camera 111. The vehicle control device 100 performs primary authentication using the acquired primary authentication information (third step). The first authentication procedure processes whether or not the captured image is authenticated using a matching rate with a user image registered in advance based on deep learning. For example, image classification is performed based on a convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm, and when the mapping rate exceeds a predetermined value, it is determined as an authenticated user for the corresponding user. If the matching rate for the captured image is less than a predetermined value, the corresponding user is determined as an unauthorized user. In the case of an authenticated user, it proceeds to the normal mode and unlocks the vehicle door (step 5).

If the vehicle control apparatus 100 determines that the user is not authenticated, it determines whether the door of the vehicle 10 is opened or closed (step 6). If the door of the vehicle 10 is not open, the first step of acquiring primary authentication information is repeated. The number of repetitions of the primary authentication procedure for an unauthenticated user may be one or more. If it is determined that the door of the vehicle 10 is open in the sixth step, the fact that the unauthorized user has approached the vehicle 10 is transmitted as a message to a predetermined terminal or to the remote manager 200. Then, when it is determined that the user is in the driver's seat of the vehicle 10, secondary authentication information for the corresponding occupant is obtained (step 7). At this time, the vehicle control device 100 acquires secondary authentication information by capturing the user's face image information using the side camera 111. The vehicle control device 100 performs secondary authentication using the acquired secondary authentication information (step 8).

In the second authentication procedure, authentication is performed using a matching rate with a user image registered in advance based on deep learning for a captured image. For example, image classification is performed based on a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) algorithm, and when the mapping rate exceeds a predetermined value, a corresponding occupant is determined as an authenticated user. If the matching rate for the captured image is less than a predetermined value, the corresponding occupant is determined as an unauthorized user. In the case of an authenticated user, control of the vehicle is allowed (Step 9).

If the vehicle control apparatus 100 determines that the corresponding occupant is a non-authenticated user, the vehicle control apparatus 100 proceeds with a procedure of obtaining third authentication information for the corresponding occupant (step 10). In this case, the third authentication information is biometric information or non-biometric information of the corresponding occupant. In the case of biometric information, biometric information other than the face information of the corresponding occupant is obtained as third authentication information. At this time, the vehicle control device 100 acquires the fingerprint information as tertiary authentication information by optically scanning the fingerprint of the corresponding occupant using the fingerprint reader 112. The vehicle control apparatus 100 performs third authentication using the obtained third authentication information (step 11).

In the third authentication procedure, authentication is performed using the matching rate of the scanned fingerprint image with the user's fingerprint image registered in advance based on deep learning. For example, image classification is performed based on a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) algorithm, and when the mapping rate exceeds a predetermined value, a corresponding occupant is determined as an authenticated user. If the matching rate for the scanned fingerprint image is smaller than a predetermined value, the corresponding occupant is determined as an unauthenticated user. In the case of an authenticated user, control of the vehicle is allowed (step 12).

If the vehicle control apparatus 100 determines that the occupant is an unauthorized user, the vehicle control apparatus 100 executes a control mode for the vehicle (step 13). The vehicle control device 100 transmits information on a situation requiring control of the vehicle to the remote manager 100 or a predetermined user. The remote manager 100 determines whether direct control of the vehicle 10 or indirect control is possible using the location information received from the vehicle 10 (step 14).

If direct control is possible, the remote manager 200 moves the vehicle 10 to a specific point by directly controlling the vehicle 10 (step 15). If direct control is not possible, the remote manager 200 transmits a control signal to the vehicle control device 100 of the vehicle 10 to move the vehicle 10 from the current location to a specific location to perform indirect d control. Run it (Step 16).

The vehicle control method described above essentially includes a first authentication procedure and a second authentication procedure, and proceeds with the third authentication procedure after the first authentication procedure, or sequentially proceeds with the first, second and third authentication procedures, or 1 In addition to the second to third authentication procedures, the design can be variously changed to proceed with an additional authentication procedure.
