Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microelectronics and mechatronics technology, and in particular to a self-generating authentication control method and electronic authentication equipment applied in authentication scenarios. Background Art

[0002] Due to considerations such as security, privacy, and regulatory compliance, authentication is required in many scenarios. These scenarios can be collectively referred to as authentication scenarios, and a wide variety of authentication scenarios exist in practice. For example, in payment scenarios, a USB key can be used for financial operation authentication; in building access control scenarios, digital certificates, RFID, facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, and other methods can be used for entry and exit authentication or unlocking authentication. Although the authentication media and authentication basis in most authentication scenarios are diverse, the overall authentication implementation process is unified. A typical authentication implementation process usually consists of two parts: authentication and execution. Authentication verifies the user's submitted authentication credentials to determine whether the user has permission to perform a specific operation. Only after the authentication verification is passed will the user's requested operation, such as unlocking or transferring funds, be responded to.

[0003] Practice has shown that, although mechanical authentication devices do not require power supply, they are gradually being phased out due to their heavy weight, low integration, and low security. They are being replaced by authentication implementation processes based on electronic authentication devices. Specifically, authentication implementation processes based on electronic authentication devices consume a certain amount of electrical energy, and currently, the vast majority of electronic authentication devices rely on a continuous and stable power supply design, such as internal power supplies such as batteries and capacitors, or external power supplies such as stable external energy fields and stable external power supplies. These devices are only suitable for scenarios where continuous and stable power supply is possible, have certain limitations, and are of low applicability. Furthermore, when the internal / external power supply is abnormal, the electronic authentication device cannot quickly complete authentication, reducing authentication efficiency.

[0004] It can be seen that the current electronic authentication equipment has problems of low applicability and low authentication efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0070] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0071] The terms "first," "second," and so on, in the description and claims of the present invention and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish between different items, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or end comprising a series of steps or modules is not limited to the listed steps or modules but may optionally include steps or modules not listed therein, or may optionally include other steps or modules inherent to such process, method, product, or end.

[0072] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0073] The present invention discloses a self-generated authentication control method and electronic authentication device for use in authentication scenarios. These methods can capture external driving motions directed at the electronic authentication device and convert them into electrical energy, which in turn powers the authentication module. This makes the electronic authentication device independent of continuous and stable internal or external power supply, improving its applicability, efficiency, and reliability. These methods are described in detail below.

[0074] Example 1

[0075] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a self-generated authentication control method for an authentication scenario disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The described method is applied to an electronic authentication device, which includes at least an energy capture and conversion module and an authentication module, and is used to authenticate relevant personnel in any authentication scenario. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific authentication scenario. Figure 1 As shown, the self-generated authentication control method applied to the authentication scenario may include the following steps:

[0076] 101. When capturing an external driving action triggered by the electronic authentication device, the energy capture and conversion module converts the mechanical energy generated by the driving action into electrical energy.

[0077] The electrical energy converted from mechanical energy is used to directly or indirectly power the authentication module. Optionally, the driving action may include pressing or pulling, and / or rotating or toggling, the corresponding components of the electronic authentication device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention. In other optional embodiments, the energy capture and conversion module may also convert other forms of captured energy (such as light energy) into electrical energy.

[0078] 102. Under the power supply of the electric energy converted by the energy capture and conversion module, the authentication module performs an authentication operation on the trigger corresponding to the driving action to obtain an authentication result.

[0079] The authentication result is used to indicate whether the triggerer of the driving action has the operating authority for the target operation. Furthermore, the authentication result is provided to the action execution module corresponding to the authentication scenario or to the main control center corresponding to the action execution module, thereby further determining whether to execute the target action corresponding to the target operation. For example, the authentication scenario may be an unlock authentication scenario (such as an access control unlock authentication scenario, a vehicle door unlock authentication scenario, etc.), the target operation may be an unlock operation, and the target action may be an unlock action.

[0080] In other optional embodiments, the electrical energy converted from mechanical energy is used to power the authentication module first. When there is sufficient electrical energy (that is, there is still electrical energy left after meeting the power requirements of the authentication module), it can further power the action execution module or other functional modules (such as the prompt module), or store excess electrical energy to provide electrical energy for the next authentication process, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of electrical energy.

[0081] It can be seen that the method described in the embodiment of the present invention can capture the external driving action of the electronic authentication device and convert it into electrical energy, thereby powering the authentication module. This makes the electronic authentication device independent of a continuous and stable internal / external power supply method, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the electronic authentication device, and can also improve the authentication efficiency and authentication reliability of the electronic authentication device.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, the electronic authentication device may further include an energy storage module. The method may further include:

[0083] After converting the mechanical energy generated by the driving action into electrical energy, the energy capture and conversion module stores the electrical energy converted from the mechanical energy into the energy storage module; and / or,

[0084] If there is surplus electric energy after the electric energy converted from mechanical energy powers the authentication module, the energy storage module stores the surplus electric energy;

[0085] The electrical energy stored in the energy storage module is used to power at least the authentication module. Furthermore, when the authentication module does not require power or when the authentication module's power requirements are met, the electrical energy stored in the energy storage module can also be used to power other functional modules (such as the prompt module).

[0086] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also integrate an energy storage module on the electronic authentication device, which not only enriches the functions of the electronic authentication device, but also can store residual electrical energy to achieve the accumulation of excess electrical energy, reduce the waste of electrical energy, improve the utilization rate of electrical energy, and can also improve the authentication efficiency and authentication reliability of subsequent authentication operations to a certain extent; in addition, this optional embodiment can also store the electrical energy converted from mechanical energy into the energy storage module, and then supply power through the electrical energy stored in the energy storage module when there is a need for electricity, which can not only improve the power supply flexibility, but also reduce unnecessary power supply operations to the authentication module to a certain extent, thereby reducing the waste of electrical energy.

[0087] In another optional embodiment, the electronic authentication device may further include an energy storage module. When an external driving action is captured on the electronic authentication device, the energy capture and conversion module converts the mechanical energy generated by the driving action into electrical energy, which may include:

[0088] The energy capture and conversion module stores the mechanical energy generated by the driving action into the energy storage module;

[0089] When energy conversion is required, the energy capture and conversion module converts the mechanical energy stored in the energy storage module into electrical energy.

[0090] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also store the mechanical energy into the energy storage module after capturing the mechanical energy corresponding to the driving action, and then convert the mechanical energy stored in the energy storage module into electrical energy when there is a demand for electricity, providing another energy storage method, which can not only improve the power supply flexibility, but also can concentrate on converting electrical energy after the mechanical energy accumulates to a certain level, so as to ensure that the converted electrical energy can meet the authentication power demand of the authentication module, thereby helping to improve the reliability of powering the authentication module based on self-generated power.

[0091] In another optional embodiment, the electronic authentication device may further include an energy monitoring module. The method may further include:

[0092] The energy monitoring module monitors the current energy stored in the energy storage module and obtains an energy monitoring result;

[0093] The energy monitoring result is used as a basis for judging whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module meets the authentication power demand of the authentication module.

[0094] In this optional embodiment, the current energy stored in the energy storage module may be mechanical energy, electrical energy, or other forms of energy that can be converted into electrical energy. If the stored energy is not electrical energy, determining whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication can specifically include determining whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module, after conversion to electrical energy, meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication. Furthermore, when determining whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module, after conversion to electrical energy, meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication, the electrical energy consumed by the energy conversion can be further subtracted, which helps to improve the accuracy of determining whether the current energy meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication.

[0095] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also monitor the current energy stored in the energy storage module, which is conducive to taking appropriate and timely response strategies (such as issuing reminders, continuing to accumulate energy or using other energy) according to the energy monitoring results, and reducing the occurrence of unsuccessful authentication and waste of electricity due to powering the authentication module when the current energy is insufficient.

[0096] Example 2

[0097] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a self-generated authentication control method for an authentication scenario disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2The described method is applied to an electronic authentication device, which includes at least an energy capture and conversion module, an authentication module, and an action execution module. Furthermore, it may also include a delay module and / or an energy storage module. The electronic authentication device is used to authenticate relevant personnel in any authentication scenario. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific authentication scenario. Figure 2 As shown, the self-generated authentication control method applied to the authentication scenario may include the following steps:

[0098] 201. When capturing an external driving action triggered on the electronic authentication device, the energy capture and conversion module converts the mechanical energy generated by the driving action into electrical energy.

[0099] The electrical energy converted from mechanical energy is used to directly or indirectly power the authentication module.

[0100] 202. Under the power supply of the electric energy converted by the energy capture and conversion module, the authentication module performs an authentication operation on the trigger corresponding to the driving action to obtain an authentication result.

[0101] Among them, the authentication result is used to indicate whether the triggerer corresponding to the above-mentioned driving action has the operation authority of the target operation. If so, it can further trigger the execution of step 203 or step 205; if not, the current authentication control process can be ended, which is not only conducive to improving the authentication security, but also can reduce unnecessary operations to save energy to the greatest extent.

[0102] 203. After the authentication operation is completed, the authentication module drives the delay module to trigger the delay module to perform a delay driving operation.

[0103] 204. The delay module performs a timing operation under the drive of the authentication module, and when the timing duration reaches a preset duration, drives the action execution module to perform a target action corresponding to the target operation.

[0104] The timing operation is a forward timing operation or a countdown operation.

[0105] 205. The action execution module executes the target action corresponding to the target operation.

[0106] It should be noted that in the embodiment including the delay module, there are two triggering conditions for the action execution module to execute the target action. One is the driving of the delay module, and the other is that the authentication result indicates that the triggerer corresponding to the driving action has the operation authority of the target operation.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present invention, taking the electronic authentication device as an automobile electronic key and the authentication scenario as a vehicle door unlocking authentication scenario as an example, the vehicle door unlocking authentication process of the automobile electronic key implemented by the method of the embodiment of the present invention is specifically as follows:

[0108] 1. When the user wants to unlock the car door, he can press the unlock button of the car electronic key;

[0109] 2. When the unlock button is pressed, mechanical energy is generated. The energy capture and conversion module in the electronic key converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is processed by the corresponding energy collection circuit and then stored in the energy storage module.

[0110] 3. Pressing the unlock button generates electricity to power the authentication module, turning it on. Due to the nature of the electronic car key, which indicates that the holder has permission to unlock the car, the authentication module can be directly authenticated. The microprocessor in the electronic car key sends a connection signal, which causes the driver circuit of the action execution module to drive the action execution module's wireless signal transmitter to send the car unlock signal. After the microprocessor sends the connection signal, the authentication module ceases operation, such as shutting down directly or entering a low-power sleep state.

[0111] 4. After the button is pressed, the user unlocks the car.

[0112] It can be seen that the method described in the embodiment of the present invention can capture the external driving action directed at the electronic authentication device and convert it into electrical energy, thereby powering the authentication module. This makes the electronic authentication device independent of a continuous and stable internal / external power supply method, which is conducive to improving the applicability of the electronic authentication device and also improving the authentication efficiency and reliability of the electronic authentication device. In addition, the electronic authentication device can be directly integrated with the action execution module, which not only enriches the functionality of the electronic authentication device, but also helps to improve the response speed of the action execution module, thereby improving the user experience.

[0113] In an optional embodiment, after step 202 is completed, the method may further include the following operations:

[0114] After the authentication operation is completed, the authentication module enters a low-power sleep state or a shutdown state.

[0115] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also directly enter the shutdown state or low-power sleep state after the authentication module is powered on and the authentication module completes the authentication operation, which is beneficial to saving the power consumption of the authentication module and reducing the waste of electricity.

[0116] In another optional embodiment, after the authentication operation is completed, the authentication module drives the delay module to trigger the delay module to perform a delay driving operation, which may include:

[0117] When the authentication result indicates that the triggerer corresponding to the driving action has the operation authority for the target operation, the authentication module sends a driving signal to the delay module to trigger the delay module to perform a delayed driving operation.

[0118] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also generate a driving signal to the delay module when the authentication module determines that the triggerer corresponding to the driving action has the operating authority for the target operation, which is not only conducive to improving the reliability of the delay module in performing the delayed driving operation, but also can reduce unnecessary waste of electricity.

[0119] In yet another optional embodiment, the authentication module enters a low-power sleep state or a shutdown state, including:

[0120] After driving the delay module, the authentication module enters a low-power sleep state or a shutdown state; or, after driving the delay module and before the timing of the delay module reaches a preset time, the authentication module enters a low-power sleep state or a shutdown state.

[0121] Optionally, before the delay module drives the action execution module to execute the target action corresponding to the target operation, the action execution module is in a low-power sleep state or a closed state, which is conducive to further saving power consumption.

[0122] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also enter a low-power sleep state or a shutdown state at an appropriate time after driving the delay module, which is not only beneficial to saving power consumption, but also can effectively ensure the driving reliability of the delay module, reduce the occurrence of unsuccessful related operations due to unsuccessful driving of the delay module, or reduce the waste of electricity due to the need to wake up or start the authentication module again due to unsuccessful driving of the delay module, thereby helping to improve the user experience of the electronic authentication device.

[0123] It should be noted that: for the relevant description of the energy storage module, the relevant description of the steps included, and other steps that may be further included in the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to the detailed description in Example 1, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated.

[0124] Example 3

[0125] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic authentication device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 The electronic authentication device shown is used to authenticate relevant personnel in any authentication scenario based on any of the self-generated authentication control methods described in Example 1 and Example 2. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific authentication scenario. Figure 3 As shown, the electronic authentication device may include at least an energy capture and conversion module 301 and an authentication module 302, wherein:

[0126] Energy capture and conversion module 301, for converting mechanical energy generated by an external driving action of the electronic authentication device into electrical energy when capturing the driving action; wherein the electrical energy converted from the mechanical energy is used to directly or indirectly power the authentication module;

[0127] The authentication module 302 is used to perform an authentication operation on the trigger corresponding to the driving action under the power supply of the electric energy converted by the energy capture and conversion module 301, and obtain an authentication result;

[0128] The authentication result is used to indicate whether the triggerer of the driving action has the operation authority for the target operation.

[0129] It can be seen that the electronic authentication device described in the embodiment of the present invention can capture external driving actions directed to the electronic authentication device and convert them into electrical energy, thereby powering the authentication module. This makes the electronic authentication device independent of a continuous and stable internal / external power supply method, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the electronic authentication device, and can also improve the authentication efficiency and authentication reliability of the electronic authentication device.

[0130] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the electronic authentication device further includes an action execution module 303. The action execution module 303 is configured to execute a target action corresponding to a target operation when the authentication result indicates that the triggerer corresponding to the driving action has the operation authority for the target operation.

[0131] It can be seen that the electronic authentication module in this optional embodiment is integrated with the action execution module, which not only enriches the functions of the electronic authentication device, but also helps to improve the response speed of the action execution module, thereby improving the user experience.

[0132] In another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the electronic authentication device may further include an energy storage module 304 .

[0133] As an optional embodiment, the energy storage module 304 is configured to store the electrical energy converted from mechanical energy by the energy capture and conversion module 301, and / or, if there is surplus electrical energy after the electrical energy converted from mechanical energy supplies power to the authentication module 302, store the surplus electrical energy;

[0134] The electrical energy stored in the energy storage module 304 is at least used to power the authentication module 302 .

[0135] It can be seen that this optional implementation method integrates an energy storage module on the electronic authentication device, which not only enriches the functions of the electronic authentication device, but also can store residual electrical energy to achieve the accumulation of excess electrical energy, reduce the waste of electrical energy, improve the utilization rate of electrical energy, and can also improve the authentication efficiency and authentication reliability of subsequent authentication operations to a certain extent; in addition, this optional embodiment can also store the electrical energy converted from mechanical energy into the energy storage module, and then supply power through the electrical energy stored in the energy storage module when there is a need for electricity, which can not only improve the flexibility of power supply, but also reduce unnecessary power supply operations on the authentication module to a certain extent, thereby reducing the waste of electrical energy.

[0136] As another optional embodiment, the energy storage module 304 is used to store the mechanical energy generated by the driving action captured by the energy capture and conversion module 301; and when the energy capture and conversion module 301 needs energy conversion, the stored mechanical energy is provided to the energy capture and conversion module 301, and the energy capture and conversion module 301 converts the mechanical energy stored in the energy storage module 304 into electrical energy.

[0137] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also store the mechanical energy into the energy storage module 304 after capturing the mechanical energy corresponding to the driving action, and convert the mechanical energy stored in the energy storage module 304 into electrical energy when there is a demand for electricity, providing another energy storage method, which can not only improve the power supply flexibility, but also can concentrate on converting the electrical energy after the mechanical energy accumulates to a certain level, so as to ensure that the converted electrical energy can meet the authentication power demand of the authentication module, thereby helping to improve the reliability of powering the authentication module based on self-generated power.

[0138] In another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the electronic authentication device also includes: an energy monitoring module 305.

[0139] The energy monitoring module 305 is used to monitor the current energy stored in the energy storage module and obtain energy monitoring results;

[0140] Optionally, the energy monitoring result is used as a basis for determining whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module meets the authentication power requirement of the authentication module.

[0141] In this optional embodiment, the current energy stored in the energy storage module 304 may be mechanical energy, electrical energy, or other forms of energy that can be converted into electrical energy. If the stored energy is not electrical energy, determining whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication can specifically be: determining whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module, after being converted into electrical energy, meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication. Furthermore, when determining whether the current energy stored in the energy storage module, after being converted into electrical energy, meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication, the electrical energy consumed by the energy conversion can be further subtracted, which helps to improve the accuracy of determining whether the current energy meets the authentication module's power requirements for authentication.

[0142] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also monitor the current energy stored in the energy storage module 304, which is conducive to taking appropriate and timely response strategies (such as issuing reminders, continuing to accumulate energy or using other energy) according to the energy monitoring results, and reducing the occurrence of unsuccessful authentication and waste of electricity due to powering the authentication module when the current energy is insufficient.

[0143] In yet another optional embodiment, the authentication module 302 is further configured to enter a low-power sleep state or a shutdown state after completing the authentication operation. This optional embodiment can directly enter the shutdown state or low-power sleep state after power is supplied to the authentication module and the authentication module completes the authentication operation, thereby conserving power consumption of the authentication module and reducing energy waste.

[0144] In another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the electronic authentication device further includes: a delay module 306;

[0145] The authentication module 302 is further configured to drive the delay module 306 after completing the authentication operation, so as to trigger the delay module to perform a delayed driving operation;

[0146] The delay module 306 is used to execute a timing operation under the drive of the authentication module 302. When the timing time reaches a preset time, the action execution module 303 is driven to execute a target action corresponding to the target operation; wherein the timing operation is a forward timing operation or a countdown operation.

[0147] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also drive the action execution module 303 through the delay module 306, which not only improves the driving flexibility of the action execution module 303, but also saves the power consumption of the authentication module 302.

[0148] In another optional embodiment, after the authentication operation is completed, the authentication module 302 drives the delay module to trigger the delay module to perform the delay driving operation. The specific manner includes:

[0149] When the authentication result indicates that the triggerer corresponding to the driving action has the operation authority for the target operation, the authentication module 302 sends a driving signal to the delay module to trigger the delay module to perform a delayed driving operation.

[0150] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also generate a driving signal to the delay module when the authentication module determines that the triggerer corresponding to the driving action has the operating authority for the target operation, which is not only conducive to improving the reliability of the delay module in performing the delayed driving operation, but also can reduce unnecessary waste of electricity.

[0151] In another optional embodiment, the specific manner in which the authentication module 302 enters the low-power sleep state or the shutdown state includes:

[0152] After the delay module is driven, the authentication module enters a low-power sleep state or an off state; or, after the delay module is driven and before the timing of the delay module reaches a preset time, the authentication module enters a low-power sleep state or an off state;

[0153] Optionally, before the delay module drives the action execution module to execute the target action corresponding to the target operation, the action execution module is in a low-power sleep state or a closed state, which is conducive to further saving power consumption.

[0154] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can also enter a low-power sleep state or a shutdown state at an appropriate time after driving the delay module, which is not only beneficial to saving power consumption, but also can effectively ensure the driving reliability of the delay module, reduce the occurrence of unsuccessful related operations due to unsuccessful driving of the delay module, or reduce the waste of electricity due to the need to wake up or start the authentication module again due to unsuccessful driving of the delay module, thereby helping to improve the user experience of the electronic authentication device.
