A user biometric authentication system 1 according to an embodiment of the disclosure is configured so that a user selects one of various facial expression images using a 3D polyhedron as an image value stored in advance by the user, and performs user authentication using the facial expression, by extending the existing simple facial image authentication technique. To this end, a user biometric authentication system 1 according to an embodiment of the disclosure is configured to include a user information storage unit 11 and an authentication unit 13 as shown in
The user information storage unit 11 of the disclosure is configured to acquire and store user information and generate facial expression data information. To this end, the user information storage unit 11 may be configured to include a face imaging information acquisition module 111 and a facial expression data information processing module 113 as shown in
The face imaging information acquisition module 111 is configured to acquire face imaging information, which is image information of a user's face included in the user information. Here, the face imaging information may be acquired including 3D information including depth information, and may be acquired with at least two different facial expressions.
In an embodiment of the disclosure, face imaging information of at least six different facial expressions may be acquired. This may be for a user to decide which facial expression to use for authentication, or for an application using the disclosure to select a facial expression requesting authentication through a preset algorithm or random selection. More specifically, in an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in
In addition, the face imaging information acquisition module 111 may preferably acquire face imaging information using a ToF camera or a lidar camera, because, as described above, the face imaging information must include 3D information including depth information in order to distinguish facial expressions.
The facial expression data information processing module 113 is configured to analyze the face imaging information using a preset algorithm and generate and store facial expression data information as the analysis result. Here, the facial expression data information may be digitized and stored, and for example, may be digitized using 3D information included in the face imaging information. 3D information is one of the main factors that allows a user's facial outline to be accurately identified. Therefore, the facial expression data information processing module 113 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may digitize different values for different facial expressions using depth information included in the face imaging information, and for convenience of explanation, the value of the facial expression data information digitized is defined as a facial expression value.
The authentication unit 13 of the disclosure is configured to, when acquiring authentication request information, acquire authentication facial expression information, which is facial expression data information corresponding to the authentication request information, output a preset number of arbitrary face imaging information including the authentication facial expression information as authentication candidate information, and perform user authentication using the authentication candidate information. To this end, the authentication unit 13 according to an embodiment of the disclosure is configured to include an authentication data processing module 131, an authentication candidate information output module 133, and an authentication approval module 135, as shown in
The authentication data processing module 131 is configured to acquire authentication request information and acquire authentication facial expression information. Here, the authentication facial expression information is included in the authentication request information and may be information previously selected by a user.
The user biometric authentication system 1 of an embodiment of the disclosure acquires a plurality of face imaging information as described above. In an authentication process, if multiple face imaging information is used as information for authentication, the meaning of multiple face imaging information disappears. Therefore, the authentication data processing module 131 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be configured to, when acquiring the authentication request information, acquire authentication facial expression information included in the authentication request information. The authentication facial expression information may be face imaging information selected among multiple face imaging information to check whether to match for authentication during the authentication process. This may be directly selected by a user during each authentication process, or one of the face imaging information stored automatically for each authentication process may be selected through a preset algorithm.
The authentication candidate information output module 133 is configured to output authentication candidate information including authentication facial expression information. Here, the authentication candidate information may include authentication facial expression information and five other face imaging information, and may be selected through a preset algorithm using facial expression data information corresponding to the face imaging information. Authentication candidate information may be configured by outputting the dice of
Here, the preset algorithm may include, for example, an algorithm that uses preset similarity information. In an embodiment, when the preset similarity information is 3, the authentication candidate information may allow to select three of the facial expression data information having a facial expression data information numerical value that is included within the preset similarity range among the facial expression data information numerical values of the authentication facial expression information, and select the remaining two from the face imaging information having facial expression data information numerical values that are outside the preset similarity range.
The authentication approval module 135 is configured to acquire authentication attempt information, which is selection information for the authentication candidate information, and if the authentication attempt information is analyzed and it is determines that a user's authentication face imaging information including the same facial expression as the authentication facial expression information is selected, determine that the access is normal to perform user authentication, and may go through a process similar to an example of
The authentication approval module 135 is configured to perform user authentication by analyzing the authentication attempt information after acquiring the input authentication attempt information when the authentication candidate information is output and auser inputs the authentication attempt information, which is selection information for the authentication candidate information.
As described above, the authentication candidate information is output to a user using a dice with six sides. When a user rolls the authentication candidate information dice and selects one side, the authentication approval module 135 of the disclosure checks whether the selected side is the same face imaging information as the preset authentication facial expression information. At this time, if the same face imaging information as the preset authentication facial expression information is selected, the authentication approval module 135 of the disclosure may output a request to make the same user's face as the corresponding facial expression, and may acquire authentication face imaging information by imaging the user's face. When the authentication face imaging information is acquired, the authentication approval module 135 according to an embodiment of the disclosure verifies the identity of the authentication facial expression information and the authentication face imaging information, and if it is confirmed that the two pieces of information have the same facial expression, it may be determined that the user has passed the authentication by determining that the access is normal.
In addition, the authentication approval module 135 may be configured to analyze the authentication attempt information, and if the authentication facial expression information and the authentication face imaging information are not the same or if a user selects the wrong dice face, determine that the access is abnormal, to stop the user authentication and output authentication error information.
As described above, the user biometric authentication system 1 of the disclosure may achieve sufficiently strong security authentication, since a predetermined arbitrary number of authentication candidate information corresponding to various facial expressions is used even if only facial expression information is used as a user's biometric information.
In addition, the disclosure may achieve even stronger security authentication by using multiple biometric information such as fingerprints, irises, retinas, and voices along with facial expression information.
For example, when adding fingerprint information together with facial expression information as biometric information for user authentication, the user information storage unit 11 may additionally generate user fingerprint data information included in the user information. In addition, the authentication unit 13 may additionally acquire fingerprint information for authentication, which is fingerprint data information corresponding to authentication request information. Then, the authentication unit 13 may, when outputting a preset number of arbitrary face imaging information as authentication candidate information, output authentication fingerprint information together, and as a result, perform user authentication using multiple authentication candidate information including face imaging information and authentication fingerprint information.
Here, the authentication unit 13 may, when outputting face imaging information of different facial expressions to each side of a cube in the shape of a 3D dice, output different authentication fingerprint information together with face imaging information to each side of the cube.
In addition, the authentication fingerprint information may be authentication fingerprint information selected to check whether to match for authentication during an authentication process among multiple different authentication fingerprint information, and may be selected directly by a user during each authentication process, or one of multiple different authentication fingerprint information stored automatically during each authentication process through a preset algorithm may be selected.
Likewise, stronger security authentication may be achieved by using multiple authentication candidate information including a user's fingerprint information and the user's facial expression information.

Here, the facial expression data information may be digitized and stored, and for example, may be digitized using 3D information included in the face imaging information. 3D information is one of the main factors that allows a user's facial outline to be accurately identified. Therefore, the facial expression data information processing step S113 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be digitized into different values for different facial expressions using the depth information included in the face imaging information, and for the convenience of explanation, the value of the facial expression data information digitized is defined as a facial expression value hereinafter.

The authentication data processing step S131 is configured to acquire authentication request information and acquire authentication facial expression information. Here, the authentication facial expression information is included in the authentication request information and may be information previously selected by a user.
A user biometric authentication method 10 of an embodiment of the disclosure acquires a plurality of face imaging information as described above. In an authentication process, if multiple face imaging information is used as information for authentication, the meaning of multiple face imaging information disappears. Accordingly, the authentication data processing step S131 according to an embodiment of the disclosure may be configured to acquire authentication facial expression information included in the authentication request information when acquiring authentication request information. The authentication facial expression information may be face imaging information selected among multiple face imaging information to check whether to match for authentication during the authentication process. This may be directly selected by a user during each authentication process, or one of the face imaging information stored automatically for each authentication process may be selected through a preset algorithm.

Authentication candidate information may be configured by outputting the dice of
Here, the preset algorithm may include, for example, an algorithm that uses preset similarity information. In an embodiment, when the preset similarity information is 3, the authentication candidate information may allow to select three of the facial expression data information having a facial expression data information numerical value that is included within the preset similarity range among the facial expression data information numerical values of the authentication facial expression information, and select the remaining two from the face imaging information having facial expression data information numerical values that are outside the preset similarity range.
The authentication approval step S135 is configured to acquire authentication attempt information, which is selection information for authentication candidate information, and if the authentication attempt information is analyzed and a user's authentication face imaging information including the same facial expression as the authentication facial expression information is selected, determine that the access is normal to perform user authentication, and may go through a process like an example of
The authentication approval step S135 is configured to perform user authentication by acquiring the input authentication attempt information and then analyzing the authentication attempt information, if the authentication candidate information is output and a user inputs the authentication attempt information, which is selection information for the authentication candidate information.
As described above, the authentication candidate information is output to a user using a dice with six sides. When a user rolls the authentication candidate information dice and selects one side, the authentication approval step S135 of the disclosure checks whether the selected side is the same face imaging information as the preset authentication facial expression information. At this time, if the same face imaging information as the preset authentication facial expression information is selected, the authentication approval step S135 of the disclosure outputs a request to make the same user's face as the corresponding facial expression, and may acquire authentication face imaging information by imaging the user's face. When the face imaging information for authentication is acquired, the authentication approval step S135 according to an embodiment of the disclosure verifies the identity of the authentication facial expression information and the authentication face imaging information, and if it is confirmed that the two pieces of information have the same facial expression, it may be determined that the user has passed the authentication by determining that the access is normal.
