Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a user authentication method for construction equipment, capable of preventing theft of construction equipment. The user authentication method for construction equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a user authentication method for construction equipment includes: a user information registration step for registering a user identification information provided from a user device; a digital key issuance step for, upon request for use of the construction equipment from the user device, generating a digital key corresponding to the construction equipment and transmitting the generated digital key to the user device; and an equipment authentication step for allowing the use of the construction equipment when the user device having receive the digital key completes authentication of the identification information through the digital key.

Claims (37)

1. A user authentication method for construction equipment, the method comprising:

a user information registration step for registering a user identification information provided from a user device;

a digital key issuance step for, upon request for use of the construction equipment from the user device, generating a digital key corresponding to the construction equipment and transmitting the generated digital key to the user device; and

an equipment authentication step for allowing the use of the construction equipment when the user device having receive the digital key completes authentication of the user identification information through the digital key,

wherein the equipment authentication step comprises:

receiving the user identification information from the user device having received the digital key; and

allowing the use of the construction equipment for a use time requested by the user device,

wherein the allowing of the use of the construction equipment comprises switching the construction equipment to a startable state,

wherein the equipment authentication step further comprises transmitting, to the user device, a start-up available message comprising a start-up input available time indicating that the construction equipment is switched to the startable state, and

further comprising:

when the construction equipment is not started within the start-up input available time, switching the construction equipment into a non-startable state.

2. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 1 , wherein the user identification information comprises a biometric information, and

the user information registration step comprises:

receiving the biometric information from the user device through confirmation of an owner device of an owner who owns the construction equipment; and

registering the received biometric information in a server.

3. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 1 , wherein the digital key issuance step comprises:

receiving a construction equipment use request message from the user device through confirmation of an owner device of an owner who owns the construction equipment; and

transmitting, to the user device, the digital key generated according to the construction equipment use request message from the user device.

4. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 3 , wherein the construction equipment use request message comprises a use time for the construction equipment.

5. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 3 , wherein the digital key issuance step further comprises:

transmitting a construction equipment list to the user device, upon receiving the construction equipment use request message from the user device through confirmation of the owner device.

6. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 5 , wherein the generating of the digital key according to the construction equipment use request message from the user device comprises:

when construction equipment is selected from the construction equipment list by the user device, generating the digital key corresponding to the selected construction equipment.

7. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 3 , wherein the digital key issuance step further comprises:

updating a construction equipment list and a digital key issuance status for each construction equipment and storing it in a server.

8. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 7 , wherein the digital key issuance step further comprises:

transmitting the construction equipment list and the digital key issuance status for each construction equipment to the owner device.

9. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 1 , further comprising:

starting-on the construction equipment,

wherein a remaining use time for the construction machine is transmitted to at least one of the construction equipment in a start-on state and the user device.

10. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 1 , further comprising:

after the requested use time expires, turning off the construction equipment and then switching the construction equipment into a non-startable state.

11. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 10 , further comprising:

before turning off the construction equipment, transmitting a turn-off warning message informing in advance that the construction equipment is to be turned off to at least one of the user device and the construction equipment.

12. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 1 , wherein a value of the digital key varies depending on a reception time of the server receiving the use request for the construction equipment from the user device.

13. The user authentication method for construction equipment of claim 1 , further comprising:

before the user information registration step, an owner information and equipment information registration step for receiving and registering an owner information and an equipment information of the construction equipment from an owner device of an owner who owns the construction equipment.
