摘要： Provided are a human recognition apparatus and a human recognition method identifying a user based on a walking pattern. The human recognition apparatus includes a detecting unit detecting a vibration according to a user's walking, and outputting an electric signal, a pattern calculating unit acquiring a walker's walking pattern from the electric signal, and a user determining unit comparing the walking pattern with a previously measured reference data by user and identifying the user based on the comparison result. The human recognition apparatus and the human recognition method are robust against peripheral noise and can increase an acceptance rate through a simple structure and procedure by using the waling pattern, which is one-dimensional time information requiring no vast data throughput, as the user identification data.
