Disclosed is a foot vein authentication device comprising: a body part having a front surface and a rear surface and on which the foot of a user is placed on the front surface; a sensor unit arranged on any one area of the body part and formed so as to detect a vein pattern on the inside of the foot of the user; and a control unit for carrying out a user authentication procedure by comparing the vein pattern received from the sensor unit, with the pre-stored vein pattern of the user, wherein the sensor unit comprises: a light source unit for emitting infrared rays at the inside of the foot of the user; and an image acquisition unit for acquiring, as an image, the vein pattern on the inside of the foot of the user, at which the infrared rays are emitted, so as to transmit the same to the control unit.

Foot vein authentication device

Disclosed are a wearable device and controlling method thereof. The present invention includes a flexible surface light source, a photo panel located on a top surface of the flexible surface light source, and a controller coupled with the flexible surface light source and the photo panel. The controller is configured to detect a first biometric image by controlling the flexible surface light source and identify a user by comparing the detected first biometric image to a second biometric image previously saved in a memory.

Wearable device and controlling method thereof

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal capable of a new type of user input, comprising: a backside input unit including a plurality of buttons and exposed to the backside of the mobile terminal; a memory for storing relationships between combinations of the plurality of buttons and control instructions of the mobile terminal and biometric information; a sensor unit, arranged on the backside of the mobile terminal and adjacent to the backside input unit, for sensing a user's bio signal; and a control unit for, upon receiving a user input in accordance with a particular combination of the plurality of buttons, controlling the sensor unit to sense the user's bio signal, and authenticating the user using the sensed bio signal and the stored biometric information.
