Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for determining whether a person is drunk after consuming alcohol capable of analyzing alcohol consumption in a time domain by analyzing a voice, and a recording medium and a terminal for carrying out same. An alcohol consumption-determining terminal comprises: a voice input unit for generating a voice frame by converting an inputted voice signal and outputting the voice frame; a voiced/unvoiced sound analysis unit for determining whether the voice frame inputted through the voice input unit corresponds to a voiced sound, an unvoiced sound, or background noise; a voice frame energy detection unit for extracting the average energy of voice frames which have been determined as a voiced sound by the voiced/unvoiced sound analysis unit; an interval energy detection unit for detecting the average energy of intervals including a plurality of voice frames which have been determined as voiced sounds; and an alcohol consumption determining unit for determining whether a person is drunk after consuming alcohol by extracting a difference value among the average energy of neighboring intervals which have been detected by the interval energy detection unit, thereby determining whether a person is drunk after consuming alcohol by analyzing the voice signal in a time domain.
Abstract:
An alcohol consumption determination method includes: detecting an effective frame of an input voice signal; detecting a difference signal of an original signal of the effective frame; performing fast Fourier conversion on the original signal and the difference signal; and determining, in the frequency domain, whether alcohol has been consumed based on a slope difference between the fast-Fourier-transformed original signal and the fast-Fourier-transformed difference signal. Accordingly, it is also possible to determine whether a driver or an operator from a remote location has consumed alcohol and a degree of the consumption, thus preventing an accident caused by an individual operating a vehicle under the influence.

A user authentication method and apparatus are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention can provide a method for authenticating a user from a server that includes: (a) transmitting a one-time server certification message in response to an authentication request including a user ID of a client terminal, and receiving a one-time terminal certification message from the client terminal; and (b) authenticating the user by verifying the one-time terminal certification message by using a hash value stored beforehand in correspondence to the user ID.
Abstract:
Provided are a harmful site collection device and method for determining a harmful site by analyzing a connection between harmful sites. The harmful site collection device extracts a URL linked to a web page of a harmful site; checks a link circulation on the basis of link information on a web page of the URL linked to the harmful site to determine whether the web page of the URL linked to the harmful site is a harmful site; and, when a URL of a prestored non-harmful site is extracted while the link circulation is checked, stops checking the link circulation that includes the URL of the non-harmful site. Accordingly, the harmful site collection device can more easily determine a harmful site merely with information on a URL linked to a web page and can reduce the amount of computation using information on a URL of a prestored non-harmful site.
