[0078] In the case of the wired / wireless communication activation unit (220), as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the installation recognition unit (210) confirms that the wireless earphone unit (22) and the charging case unit (21) are electrically connected and the connection recognition unit (110) recognizes the wired connection state via the wired wire (1) with the wired device (10), the left earphone terminal (22-1a) and the right earphone terminal (22-1b) of the earphone unit (22) are electrically contacted with the case left terminal (21-1a) and the case right terminal (21-b) of the charging case unit (21), respectively, thereby i) activating wired data between the charging case unit (21) and the wired device (10) through the connection recognition unit (120), and ii) activating wireless data between the wireless earphone unit (22) and the wireless device (30).

[0079] As shown in Fig. 7, in the case of the internal data communication activation unit (230), when it is confirmed that the wireless earphone unit (22) and the charging case unit (21) are electrically connected, the internal data communication state between the wireless earphone unit (22) and the charging case unit (21) is activated.

[0080] That is, the internal data communication activation unit (230) transmits wired data input into the charging case unit (21) to the wireless earphone unit (22), or transmits wireless data input into the wireless earphone unit (22) to the charging case unit (21).

[0083] In the case of the pairing unit (320), the ID information confirmed by the ID verification unit (310) is verified, and the wireless data of the wireless earphone unit (22) is activated through the wired / wireless communication activation unit (220), and a pairing operation is performed between the wireless earphone unit (22) and the wireless device (30).

[0084] In the case of the pairing unit (320), if the ID information confirmed by the ID verification unit (310) does not have access permission, the access permission of the wireless device (30) can be selectively blocked.

[0085] In the case of the wireless networking unit (330), wireless data communication is performed between the wireless earphone unit (22) and the wireless device (30) paired through the pairing unit (320).

[0086] As illustrated in FIG. 9, in the case of the ID sequencing unit (311), the binary information of 1 and 0 of the ID information is sequentially arrayed into a matrix of rows and columns. It goes without saying that the size of the matrix M*N can be selectively applied depending on the size of the ID information. When the binary information of 1 and 0 is mapped to the matrix, the scanning vector is scanned, and the 1, 0 information of the area where the scanning vector is scanned can be selectively omitted and stored separately. Through this, the ID verification unit (310) can selectively encrypt the ID information, thereby preventing information of the paired wireless device (30) from being leaked to the outside.
