2 is a diagram showing a flow of a procedure for inputting security information based on an input acquired through an event provided when an input for selection information is acquired in a page for inputting security information.

Operation S210 includes providing a security information input page including a first area and a second area. The security information entry page may be provided when registering to use a payment option in a service or when making a payment using the payment option registered in the service. The service may be a product selling service (such as an e-commerce). The payment option may be a credit card, and the registration of the payment option may be an operation of entering information about the credit card linked to one of the fintech-based payment options used in the service. The first area may include a virtual keypad for entering security information, the virtual keypad may include a keypad format containing image information or text information, and the security information may be used to authorize payment options used in the service information for payment and identification of a user who registers for one of the payment options. The second area may include selection information for selecting a security information input method, and the selection information may be displayed in a part of the second area. The second area may be implemented as a selection area for entering security information in a method different from the virtual keypad of the first area. The virtual keypad can be a security keypad or a security keypad displayed on the electronic device to enhance security, but the type of the keypad is not limited.

Operation S220 includes providing an event for receiving a user's voice input according to the input for the selection information. A user may perform an input for selecting a selection area in which selection information may be selected. For example, the user may perform two consecutive touches or select one of the selected regions for input. The case in which the event is provided by selecting an input of the selection area may be the case in which the user performs an input of selecting the selection area, which may be the case in which the user performs a first input for selection information.

For example, in a case where a visually impaired person is one of the users, when the user performs a drag input, the name of the dragged selection area may be output by sound. When a drag input is performed on a selection area where the user can select selection information, instructions such as "input by voice", "input by an automatic response system (ARS)" or "execute a voice input application" may be output One of the selection information of "Program". In this case, the user's first input for the selection information may be a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs on the selection area where the selection information is selected, and when the first input is obtained, no sound is output and the selection is provided. An event of information. When a visually impaired person is the user, the electronic device can be set to a default value, so that a selection input provided to the electronic device on a partial area of the page is output by sound, so that the partial area can be confirmed and a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs for the same area are not output by sound and provide a specified action to be performed in the partial area. That is, when a visually impaired person is the user, the name of the area dragged by a drag input is confirmed through a sound. When an operation to be performed is a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs on the designated selection area, a designated operation is provided without outputting a sound. Two consecutive selection inputs may mean, for example, a case where one of the inputs for reselecting a release area is acquired within a few seconds (eg, 0.5 seconds) after releasing a drag input.

For another example, when the user is not visually impaired, may operate in the same manner as input by the visually impaired, and may not respond to one of the user's selection inputs when the electronic device operates in a default setting Instead, a separate sound is output. The first input for selection information performed by a user other than a visually impaired person may be a selection input of a click on a selection area in which selection information can be selected.

The electronic device may provide an event for receiving a user's voice input after obtaining the user's first input for selection information. The events for receiving the voice input include a voice call, execution of an application associated with a security information input page, and the like. For example, a user may receive a voice call, and may input security information by voice in response to a security information input request directed in the voice call. For another example, an application program executing on the electronic device may be authorized to control a voice input device of the electronic device, and in response to a security information input request directed by the service, the user may use the voice input device controlled by the application program device to input security information by voice.

Operation S230 includes obtaining security information based on the voice input obtained through the event. Voice input may be voice input by a user. In addition, the method of obtaining security information may include a method of obtaining security information through a virtual keypad or a separate virtual keypad on the security information input page.

FIG. 3A can be an example of an area and information displayed on a security information input page, and FIG. 3B can be an example of a virtual keypad displayed in an area on a security information input page.

According to various exemplary embodiments, a first area 310 and a second area 320 may be displayed on a security information input page 300, a virtual keypad may be provided in the first area 310, and a selection information 321, a The security information input part 322 and a security information setting message 323 can be provided in the second area 320 .

Referring to FIG. 3A, the first area 310 is displayed as an area of a lower portion of the security information input page 300, and the second area 320 is displayed as an area of an upper end of the security information input page 300, but this is only an example , and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The selection information 321 may be displayed in a part of the second area 320 and may be implemented as a selection area for inputting security information in a manner different from the virtual keypad of the first area 310 . When a user performs an input (for example, a first input) for a selection area in which the selection information 321 is selected, a security information input method set for the selection information 321 is operable. The security information input method set for the selection information 321 may be a voice input method. The security information input method of the execution setting may provide an event.

The security information input part 322 may be a part through which the security information is input according to the user's input of the security information. For example, when a user's voice input is acquired by one syllable, one character at a time may be input as security information to the security information input part 322 according to the acquired voice input. The security information setting message 323 may be one of the messages displayed to guide the user to the setting of the security information. The security information setting message 323 may include various guide messages, and may include a message prompting the user to confirm by inputting the input security information again, and may include a security information setting completion message. Setting or resetting security information includes a process of inputting security information two or more times by a user. The security information setting message 323 includes a procedure for confirming whether the security information initially input by the user is the expected input. When the initially entered security information does not match the security information entered at a subsequent time, an additional verification procedure (eg, nth security information input) may be performed to confirm a match. When the setting or resetting of the security information is completed through this verification procedure, a message of completing the setting of the security information may be displayed. In addition, when the user performs payment through the set security information in the service, the security information setting message 323 may include a request message for inputting the security information, a payment completion message, and the like.

The second type icon 312 includes image information associated with a security information input, and text information corresponding to the security information input is assigned to the key.

Referring to FIG. 3B , the first type icon 311 includes image information corresponding to number keys 0 to 9 and a delete key, but text information corresponding to individual keys is omitted. For example, when the user inputs the security information into the first type icon 311, even when the user selects one of the input numbers 5, the number 5 is not input as the security information, and indicates that the image information of the entire virtual keypad A name can be output to the user by voice. This can be derived from one method of providing voice guidance to a visually impaired person in an electronic device or service. When a visually impaired person is the user, when one of the user's drag inputs is acquired, the name of the image information used for the area selected by the drag is guided by voice, and when acquired after the drag input in the same When one double-click or two consecutive selection inputs on an area, one of the inputs set in the area in which the input is performed is performed. This may mean obtaining user input through a virtual keypad corresponding to the second type icon 312 .

Referring to FIG. 3B , the second type icon 312 includes image information corresponding to number keys 0 to 9 and a delete key, and text information of individual keys. This may mean setting the coordinates of individual keys when entering security information like a normal virtual keypad. For example, when a visually impaired person is the user, the virtual keypad can operate as the first type icon 311 when obtaining the user's drag input, and when confirmed with an output of a sound "number 5" by When dragging the input number 5 to a position on the virtual keypad and releasing the drag input and obtaining a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs on the area containing the number 5, the virtual keypad can be used as a second type icon 312 operate. In addition, in the electronic device or service, for users other than the visually impaired, the second type icon 312 can be a setting basically applied to the virtual keypad. An area for selecting an individual key such that an input to perform a specified operation for an individual key in the virtual keypad of the security information entry page (such as FIGS. 3A and 3B ) is described as selection in the second area The information is like the first input and the second input. For example, when a visually impaired person is the user, the drag input by the user on the virtual keypad in the first area operates as the first type icon 311 in FIG. 3A , and is selected by the drag input through sound output and one double-tap or two consecutive selection inputs by the user on the virtual keypad of the first area corresponds to the second input and thus operates as the second type icon 312, and obtains the keys of the selected area ( For example, the security information of number 5). That is, when a visually impaired person is the user, the virtual keypad can be switched from the first type icon 311 to the second type icon 312, or from the second type icon 312 to the first type icon 311, It depends on whether the user's input form is a drag input or a first input.

FIG. 4 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a security information input according to various exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

Operation 410 includes obtaining an input on a virtual keypad. The virtual keypad at operation 410 may be a keypad operating as a second type icon (eg, the second type icon of FIG. 3 ). For example, the case where a visually impaired person is the user may be a case where the virtual keypad is operated as a second type icon by a double-click or two consecutive selection inputs following a drag input. For another example, the case where the user is not a visually impaired person may be a case of operating as a second type icon which is a virtual keypad applied in a default setting.

Operation 420 includes obtaining security information based on the input obtained through the virtual keypad. Operation 430 includes checking to see if the obtained security information matches. For example, in the process of setting or resetting the security information, the security information can be obtained through a voice input. After first obtaining the voice input, operation 430 may be performed to check whether a user's expected security information has been correctly entered. For example, in the case where one of the visually impaired persons is the user, when the safety information is obtained by voice in the safety information input page, the safety information input page can output the obtained safety information to the user by voice (for example, six-digit number) to see if the obtained security information matches the expected security information. In this case, the user may provide a response by voice input of "yes" or "no" as to whether the security information matches. For another example, in the case where one of the visually impaired persons is the user, when the security information is obtained by inputting through one of the virtual keypads on the security information input page, an output may be directed to the user to re-enter the obtained security information. A voice for the message may request a "yes" or "no" response. When the initially input security information matches the security information input at a subsequent time, or when the match is confirmed by the user's response, the security information input is ended and a security information setting completion message is provided.
