Abstract

Provided are a method and a device for smart control of a vehicle while defending against an RSA by using a mobile device. The method includes the steps of: establishing a communication network to be able to transmit/receive information to/from a mobile device of a driver through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; and determining, when an RSS value of a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signal received from the mobile device of the driver is measured to be equal to or larger than a predetermined reference value, that the position of the mobile device of the driver is within a predetermined primary range (25 m) and transmitting a sound wave of 2 to 24000 Hz that can be recognized through three or more speakers mounted in the vehicle.

Claims (14)

1. A method for smart control of a vehicle while defending against a relay station attack (RSA) by using a mobile device, the method comprising:

establishing a communication network to transmit and receive information with a mobile device of a driver via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication;

when a received signal strength (RSS) value of a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signal received from the mobile device of the driver is measured to be a predetermined reference value or more, determining that a location of the mobile device of the driver is within a first predetermined range and transmitting recognizable acoustic waves having a frequency of 2 to 24,000 Hz through three or more speakers mounted in the vehicle;

calculating a time of arrival of the acoustic waves transmitted from the speakers to the mobile device of the driver and determining a three-dimensional (3D) location of the mobile device of the driver;

when the 3D location of the mobile device of the driver approaches within a second predetermined range, receiving a command including an opening or closing command of a door or trunk from the mobile device of the driver; and

after performing the command including the opening or closing command of the door or trunk, when it is determined that the mobile device of the driver is located in a predetermined zone in the vehicle, controlling starting of the vehicle,

wherein the three or more speakers mounted in the vehicle transmit the acoustic waves having different frequencies,

a frequency of the acoustic wave transmitted from each of the speakers is changed within a predetermined range according to a first specific code received via the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication;

a second specific code corresponding to the first specific code is received via the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi communication; and

when the second specific code matches a third specific code generated from the first specific code, a code division multiplexing method is used to control the vehicle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in the determining of the 3D location of the mobile device of the driver, the 3D location of the mobile device of the driver is calculated using a time difference of arrival (TDoA).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined range is 25 m.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second predetermined range is 1 m.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the door or trunk of the vehicle is set to be opened or closed when a catch of the door of the vehicle receives an input.
