Apparatus and method for providing security in a base or mobile station by using detection of face information

A method for providing security of an image signal in a base station, the method comprising:

• (a) receiving an image signal transmitted from a terminal and checking if the image signal contains face information;
• (b) detecting a calling location of the terminal and checking if the calling location falls within a security region;
• and
• (c) transmitting the image signal when the calling location does not fall within the security region, or when the calling location falls within the security region and the image signal contains face information.

An apparatus for providing an image signal in a terminal, the apparatus comprising:

• an image creating unit creating an image signal;
• a face information detecting unit detecting face information from the image signal;
• a face information verifying unit discriminating if the face information corresponds to the face of a user when the face information is detected from the image signal;
• and
• a signal transmitting unit transmitting the image signal containing the face information when the face information is determined to relate to the user's face.

A method for providing an image signal in a terminal, the method comprising:

• (a) creating an image signal and detecting face information from the image signal;
• (b) checking whether the face information corresponds to the face of a user when the face information is detected from the image signal;
• and
• (c) transmitting the image signal containing the face information if the face information corresponds to the user's face.

A computer-readable recording medium recording and storing a computer program to execute a method comprising:

• (a) receiving an image signal transmitted from a terminal and checking if the image signal contains face information;
• (b) detecting a calling location of the terminal and checking if the calling location falls within a security region;
• and
• (c) transmitting the image signal when the calling location does not fall within the security region, or when the calling location falls within the security region and the image signal contains the face information.
