Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Disclosed is a method for performing secure communication using a digital device. The method includes outputting a light pattern using a radiator of a proximity sensor unit; and detecting the proximity of an object using the proximity sensor unit. Further, the method includes, when the object is in proximity within a predetermined distance range, extracting key generation information for the secure communication using the light pattern outputted from the radiator; generating a security key using the key generation information; and performing the secure communication with an external device using the generated security key.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for performing secure communication between a digital device and an external device, using the digital device having a radiator of a proximity sensor and a receiver of a proximity sensor, the method comprising: outputting a first light pattern using the radiator of the proximity sensor; and detecting a proximity of an object using the proximity sensor; when the object approaches within a predetermined distance range from the digital device, extr…
