[0028] According to the present invention, the BLE module (130) of the vehicle (100) can communicate with the BLE module (230) of the user terminal (200). Specifically, when the user terminal (200) that has been issued a digital key of the vehicle (100) is located at a short distance from the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can authenticate the digital key of the user terminal (200). Accordingly, when the digital key of the user terminal (200) is authenticated in the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can control the BLE module (130) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) of the user terminal (200) to communicate.

[0029] According to the present invention, the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) can communicate with the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200). Specifically, when the user terminal (200) that has been issued a digital key of the vehicle (100) is located at a short distance from the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can authenticate the digital key of the user terminal (200). Accordingly, when the digital key of the user terminal (200) is authenticated in the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can control the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) and the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200) to communicate.

[0030] According to the present invention, when the digital key of the user terminal (200) is authenticated in the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can control the BLE module (130) and the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) and the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200) to communicate. Accordingly, when the BLE module (130) and the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) and the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200) are connected, the control unit (110) can activate the account of the user terminal (200) whose digital key is authenticated in the vehicle (100) and control to release the security of the user profile related to the activated user's account.

[0031] According to the present invention, the user profile may be at least one of CarPay information, black box information, driving history information, navigation history information, vehicle seat adjustment information, and vehicle temperature information. Specifically, when the digital key of the user terminal (200) is authenticated in the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) may control the NFC module (120) of the vehicle (100) and the NFC module (220) of the user terminal (200) to communicate.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a passenger of a vehicle (100) can place a user terminal (200) authenticated with a digital key by the control unit (110) on the NFC module (120) of the vehicle (100). When the passenger of the vehicle (100) enters a gas station to refuel the vehicle (100), the passenger of the vehicle (100) can place the user terminal (200) authenticated with a digital key by the control unit (110) on the NFC module (120) of the vehicle (100), and the control unit (110) can check whether the gas station is a KaPay-supported payment location. If the control unit (110) determines that the gas station is a KaPay-supported payment location, the control unit (110) can determine whether the payment purpose has been completed. For example, if a fuel nozzle is inserted into a fuel port and the fuel nozzle is removed from the fuel port after fueling is completed, the control unit (110) may determine that the payment purpose has been completed. However, this is merely an example, and the control unit (110) may determine whether the payment purpose has been completed by various other means.

[0033] According to one embodiment of the present invention, if the control unit (110) determines that the payment purpose has been completed, it can control to automatically make payment through the selected payment card in the user terminal (200). For a specific example, it can control to automatically make payment through the payment card selected by the user among the payment cards stored in the wallet application, which is a basic application in the user terminal (200). In this case, the control unit (110) can control to send a user interface for the purpose of confirming the user's intention to make payment, such as "Would you like to pay with this card?", to the display unit (not shown) of the user terminal (200), and if the intention to make payment is confirmed from the user, it can control to automatically make payment through the corresponding card, but is not limited thereto.

[0034] According to the present invention, when the digital key of the user terminal (200) is authenticated in the vehicle (100), the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) can control the BLE module (130) and the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) and the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200) to communicate. Accordingly, when the BLE module (130) and the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) and the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200) are connected, the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) can control the account of the user terminal (200) whose digital key is authenticated in the vehicle (100) to activate and release the security of the user profile related to the activated user's account.

[0035] According to the present invention, the user profile may be at least one of CarPay information, black box information, driving history information, navigation history information, vehicle seat adjustment information, and vehicle temperature information. Specifically, the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) may control the NFC module (120) of the vehicle (100) and the NFC module (220) of the user terminal (200) to communicate when the digital key of the user terminal (200) is authenticated in the vehicle (100). When the NFC module (120) of the vehicle (100) and the NFC module (220) of the user terminal (200) are connected, the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) may check the CarPay-supported payment location, and when it is determined that the payment purpose is completed, control the payment to be automatically made through the selected payment card in the user terminal (200).

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a passenger of a vehicle (100) can place a user terminal (200) whose digital key has been authenticated by the control unit (110) on the NFC module (120) of the vehicle (100). When the passenger of the vehicle (100) enters a gas station to refuel the vehicle (100), the passenger of the vehicle (100) can place the user terminal (200) whose digital key has been authenticated by the control unit (110) on the NFC module (120) of the vehicle (100), and the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) can check whether the gas station is a KaPay-supported payment location. When the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) determines that the gas station is a KaPay-supported payment location, the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) can determine whether the payment purpose has been completed. For example, if a fuel nozzle is inserted into a fuel port and the fuel nozzle is removed from the fuel port after fueling is completed, the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) may determine that the payment purpose has been completed. However, this is merely an example, and the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) may determine whether the payment purpose has been completed by various other means.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) determines that the payment purpose has been completed, it can control to automatically make payment through the selected payment card in the user terminal (200). For a specific example, it can control to automatically make payment through the payment card selected by the user among the payment cards stored in the wallet application, which is a basic application in the user terminal (200). In this case, the control unit (210) of the user terminal (200) can control to send a user interface for the purpose of confirming the user's intention to make payment, such as "Would you like to pay with this card?", to the display unit (not shown) of the user terminal (200), and when the intention to make payment is confirmed from the user, it can control to automatically make payment through the corresponding card, but is not limited thereto.

[0038] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a record access method between a vehicle profile and an owner device and a friend device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] As illustrated, the vehicle profile (300) may include a first user profile (300') and a second user profile (300"). Specifically, the first user profile (300') and the second user profile (300") may include, but are not limited to, first user Cafe payment information (310), second user Cafe payment information (311), second user black box information (320), second user black box information (321), first user driving history information (330), second user driving history information (331), first user navigation history information (340), and second user navigation history information (341), respectively.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the BLE module (130) of the vehicle (100) can communicate with the BLE modules (230) of a plurality of user terminals (200', 200"). Specifically, when a specific user terminal (200) that has been issued a digital key of the vehicle (100) is located at a short distance from the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can authenticate the digital key of the specific user terminal (200). Accordingly, when the digital key of the specific user terminal (200) is authenticated in the vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can control the BLE module (130) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) of the user terminal (200) to communicate.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a digital key of a specific user terminal (200) is authenticated in a vehicle (100), the control unit (110) of the vehicle (100) can control the BLE module (130) and the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) and the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200) to communicate. Accordingly, when the BLE module (130) and the UWB module (140) of the vehicle (100) and the BLE module (230) and the UWB module (240) of the user terminal (200) are connected, the control unit (110) can activate only the account of the specific user terminal (200) whose digital key is authenticated in the vehicle (100) and control to release the security of the user profile related to the account of the user of the activated specific user terminal.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first user terminal (200') may be an owner device according to the CCC (Car connectivity consortium) specification, and the second user terminal (200") may be a friend device. However, the present invention may also include an embodiment in which multiple devices share digital keys hierarchically according to their respective permissions, rather than a dichotomous distinction between owner devices and friend devices.

[0043] According to the present invention, when a specific user terminal (200) whose digital key has been authenticated in the vehicle (100) is a first user terminal (200'), the control unit (110) can control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the first user profile (300') so that the user of the first user terminal (200') can view only the information of the first user profile (300'). In addition, when a specific user terminal (200) whose digital key has been authenticated in the vehicle (100) is a second user terminal (200"), the control unit (110) can control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the second user profile (300") so that the user of the second user terminal (200") can view only the information of the second user profile (300").

For example, if a user of a second user terminal (200”) has a history of driving a vehicle (200), the navigation history information (341), black box information (321), and driving history information (331) of the user of the second user terminal (200”) in the past may be information stored during the time when the second user terminal (200”) used the vehicle (200) after being digitally key authenticated in the vehicle (200). That is, if a specific user terminal (200) whose digital key has been authenticated in the vehicle (100) is the second user terminal (200”), the control unit (110) may control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the second user profile (300”) so that only the user of the second user terminal (200”) can access the information stored during the time when the second user terminal (200”) used the vehicle (200) in the past.

[0047] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a vehicle profile and a record access method between an owner device and a friend device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] As illustrated, the vehicle profile (300) may include an owner device profile (301), and the owner device profile (301) may include a first user profile (300') and a second user profile (300"). Specifically, the first user terminal (200') may be an owner device according to the CCC (Car connectivity consortium) specification, and the second-first user terminal (201) and the second-second user terminal (202) may be friend devices. However, the present invention may also include an embodiment in which multiple devices share digital keys hierarchically according to their respective permissions, rather than a dichotomous distinction between owner devices and friend devices.

[0049] According to the present invention, the first user terminal (200') can access both the first user profile (300') and the second user profile (300"), and the second-first user terminal (201) and the second-second user terminal (202) can access only the first user profile (300') and the second user profile (300"), respectively.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a specific user terminal (200) whose digital key is authenticated in the vehicle (100) is a first user terminal (200'), the control unit (110) can control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the owner device profile (301) so that the user of the first user terminal (200') can view all information stored in the vehicle profile (300). For example, if a user of a 2-1 user terminal (201) or a 2-2 user terminal (202) has a history of driving a vehicle (200), the navigation history information (342, 343), black box information (322, 323), and driving history information (332, 333) of the user of the 2-1 user terminal (201) or the 2-2 user terminal (202) in the past may be information stored during the time when the 2-1 user terminal (201) or the 2-2 user terminal (202) was digitally key authenticated in the vehicle (200) and used the vehicle (200). That is, when the specific user terminal (200) whose digital key is authenticated in the vehicle (100) is the first user terminal (200'), the control unit (110) can control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the owner device profile (301) so that the user of the first user terminal (200') can access information stored during the time when the 2-1 user terminal (201) or the 2-2 user terminal (202) used the vehicle (200) in the past.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a specific user terminal (200) whose digital key has been authenticated in the vehicle (100) is a 2-1 user terminal (201), the control unit (110) may control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the 1st user profile (300') so that the user of the 2-1 user terminal (201) can view only the information of the 1st user profile (300'). For a specific example, when the user of the 2-1 user terminal (201) has a history of driving the vehicle (200), the navigation history information (342), black box information (322), and driving history information (332) of the user of the 2-1 user terminal (201) in the past may be information stored during the time when the 2-1 user terminal (201) was digitally key authenticated in the vehicle (200) and used the vehicle (200). That is, if the specific user terminal (200) whose digital key is authenticated in the vehicle (100) is the 2-1 user terminal (201), the control unit (110) can control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the 1st user profile (300') so that only the user of the 2-1 user terminal (201) can access the information stored during the time when the 2-1 user terminal (201) used the vehicle (200).

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a specific user terminal (200) whose digital key has been authenticated in the vehicle (100) is a second-second user terminal (202), the control unit (110) may control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the second user profile (300”) so that the user of the second-second user terminal (202) can view only the information of the second user profile (300”). For a specific example, when the user of the second-second user terminal (202) has a history of driving the vehicle (200), the navigation history information (343), black box information (323), and driving history information (333) of the user of the second-second user terminal (202) in the past may be information stored during the time when the second-second user terminal (202) was digitally key authenticated in the vehicle (200) and used the vehicle (200). That is, if the specific user terminal (200) whose digital key is authenticated in the vehicle (100) is the 2nd user terminal (202), the control unit (110) can control the vehicle (100) to release the security of the 2nd user profile (300”) so that only the user of the 2nd user terminal (202) can access the information stored during the time when the 2nd user terminal (202) used the vehicle (200) in the past.

[0053] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but can be implemented in various forms within the scope of the appended claims. It is contemplated that the scope of the claims encompasses various modifications that can be made by anyone skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
