Abstract

A vehicle may include a detector to detect and obtain biometric information, a first storage to store encrypted user biometric information, a second storage to store identification information of a user, and a first controller to decrypt the encrypted user biometric information when the detector detects the encrypted user biometric information based on the identification information received from the second storage. The first controller authenticates the user based on whether the detected biometric information is identical to the decrypted user biometric information.

Claims (47)

1. A vehicle comprising;

a detector configured to detect and obtain biometric information;

a first storage configured to store encrypted user biometric information;

a second storage configured to store identification information of a user; and

a first controller configured to, when the detector detects the biometric information, decrypt the encrypted user biometric information based on the identification information received from the second storage,

wherein authenticating the user by the first controller is initiated when a door of the vehicle is mounted after detached, or when a power state of the door connected to the vehicle is changed, where the first controller is configured to authenticate the user based on whether the detected biometric information is identical to the decrypted user biometric information.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein

the biometric information comprises at least one of fingerprint information, iris information or face information of the user.

3. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein

the identification information comprises an encryption key.

4. The vehicle of claim 2 , wherein

the first controller is configured to obtain a singularity from detected user fingerprint information and to determine whether the obtained singularity is identical to decrypted fingerprint information.

5. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein

the first storage comprises a non- volatile memory.

6. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein

when the power state of the door is switched from an Off state to an On state, the first controller is configured to authenticate the user.

7. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein

the detector is provided on at least one of an ignition button, a Fob key, a door handle, a center fascia, or a steering wheel of the vehicle.

8. The vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second controller configured to control an operation of the vehicle,

wherein the second controller is configured to give the user an authority to control the vehicle when the detected biometric information is identical to the decrypted user biometric information.

9. The vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third storage provided with a volatile memory,

wherein the first controller is configured to store the user biometric information in the third storage when the detected biometric information is identical to the decrypted user biometric information.

10. The vehicle of claim 9 , wherein

when the detector detects biometric information after first controller stores the user biometric information in the third storage, the first controller is configured to authenticate the user based on whether the detected biometric information is identical to the user biometric information stored in the third storage.

11. A control method of a vehicle comprising the steps of:

storing encrypted user biometric information in a first storage;

storing identification information of a user in a second storage;

detecting and obtaining, by a detector, biometric information;

when the biometric information is detected, decrypting, by a first controller, the encrypted user biometric information based on the identification information received from the second storage; and

authenticating, by the first controller, the user based on whether the detected biometric information is identical to the decrypted user biometric information,

wherein the step of authenticating the user is performed when a door of the vehicle is mounted after detached, or when a power state of the door connected to the vehicle is changed.

12. The control method of claim 11 , wherein

the biometric information comprises at least one of fingerprint information, iris information or face information of the user.

13. The control method of claim 12 , wherein

the identification information comprises an encryption key.

14. The control method of claim 12 , wherein

the authentication of the user comprises the steps of: obtaining a singularity from detected user fingerprint information, and determining whether the detected user fingerprint information is identical to decrypted fingerprint information based on the obtained singularity.

15. The control method of claim 11 , wherein

the first storage comprises a non- volatile memory.

16. The control method of claim 11 , wherein

the step of authenticating the user comprises authenticating the user when the power state of the door is switched from an Off state to an On state.

17. The control method of claim 11 , wherein

the detection step comprises performing a detection by using at least one of an ignition button, a Fob key, a door handle, a center fascia, or a steering wheel of the vehicle.

18. The control method of claim 11 , further comprising:

giving, by a second controller, the user an authority to control the vehicle when the detected biometric information is identical to the decrypted user biometric information.
