For example, the communication module can transmit usage information using a communication technique such as Wi-fi and Bluetooth.

The wireless AP 200 may be a device that is provided in a house where a plurality of users live together and constitutes a network with at least one connection device 100. For example, the wireless AP 200 can form a specific network through short-range wireless communication with a plurality of connection devices 100 disposed in the home. The wireless AP 200 can collect usage information generated by the plurality of connection devices 100. [

The user terminal 300 may be a device carried by each of a plurality of users living in a house. That is, the user terminal 300 may be provided for each user living in the house. For convenience of explanation, the user terminal 300 is assumed to be a smart phone. However, the user terminal 300 is not limited to the above-described example, and may be replaced with a wearable device, tablet PC, or the like, which is portable by a user and has an information processing function.

The user terminal 300 may be a device for connecting the connection device 100 and the wireless AP 200.

Specific functions of the management server 400 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a home appliance is controlled by the user terminal 300 of FIG.

When the user terminal 300 is located in the home, the user terminal 300 can access the network formed by the wireless AP 200. [ The user terminal 300 can output a list of all the connected devices 100 in the home registered in the network as image information. Then, the user can select a home appliance to be controlled in consideration of the usage state of each connected device 100, that is, the usage state of each home appliance through the list of connected devices 100 output through the user terminal 300. In the illustrated embodiment, through the information output by the user terminal 300, the user recognizes that the connection device 130 connected to the speaker and the connection device 140 connected to the air conditioner are currently being used by different users . Therefore, the user can generate only control signals for home appliances not in use in home appliances. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the user operates the user terminal 300 to turn on the light.

The user terminal 300 generates a control signal for controlling one of the connection devices selected by the user, that is, the connection device 110 connected to the electric lamp, based on the input signal input from the user, and transmits the control signal to the connection device 100 . In addition, the connection device 110 receiving the control signal can control to supply the power that has been cut off. In this process, the user terminal 300 can transmit identification information different from other user terminals together with a control signal.

The connection device 100 receives the identification information from the user terminal 300 and transmits the identification information to the user terminal 300 so as to indicate that the operation of the home appliance generated after receiving the identification information is controlled by the user of the user terminal 300 that transmitted the identification information. Can be generated. The connection device 100 transmits usage information including identification information to the wireless AP 200, and the wireless AP 200 can transmit the usage information to the management server 400. [ Accordingly, when the management server 400 receives the usage information, it can recognize which user in the house is using the home appliance. In addition, the management server 400 can transmit usage information for each home appliance to the wireless AP 200. [ That is, the management server 400 can transmit to the wireless AP 200 information on which user is currently using home appliances in the home. The wireless AP 200 can transmit this information to the user terminal 300 connected to the network. As described above, the user terminal 300 can output a list of all the connected devices 100 in the home registered in the home network as image information. Accordingly, the users can receive the list of the connected device 100 displayed on the user terminal 300 and the usage information for each home appliance, as image information, and can recognize which home appliance is currently being used by which user Do. In addition, the image information output through the user terminal 300 includes various information generated by the management server 400, such as a user who is not shown, but is given a power usage status, a total household power consumption, May be displayed.

3 is a block diagram showing the specific configuration and functions of the management server 400 of FIG.

The management server 400 according to the present invention may include a communication unit 410, a target information setting unit 420, and a reward management unit 430.

The communication unit 410 may communicate with the wireless AP 200 or the user terminal 300 to transmit and receive data. Specifically, the communication unit 410 can receive usage information from the wireless AP 200 or receive a control signal from the user terminal 300. [ The communication unit 410 transmits the event information including the reward generated by the reward management unit 430 to the wireless AP 200 or the user terminal 300 or receives the event information including the reward generated from the user terminal 300 To the specific wireless AP (200).

The target information setting unit 420 can set target information in advance. The target information can be defined as a kind of mission that induces a user in the house to reduce the amount of power generated by the home appliance.

The target information setting unit 420 can generate target information based on past usage information stored separately for each household. For example, the target information setting unit 420 analyzes the usage information collected over the past month to extract the amount of power used last month, and sets target information of this month to be less than the amount of electricity used last month Can be set.

Meanwhile, the target information generated by the target information setting unit 420 may include target device information per household appliance, target information per user, and common goal information. At this time, the target information setting unit 420 may analyze at least one past usage information accumulated and determine the type of target information to be generated. A detailed description related to this will be given later with reference to Fig.

The reward management unit 430 can confirm the execution result of the target information and provide the reward to any one of the user terminals 300. [ More specifically, the reward management unit 430 can calculate the amount of energy saved by comparing the usage information received from the wireless AP 200 with the target information preset by the target information setting unit 420. [

At this time, the reward management unit 430 may determine that the energy saving mission corresponding to the target information fails if there is no saved energy amount. On the other hand, if there is a saved energy amount, the reward management unit 430 can determine that the target information is achieved.

Thereafter, when it is determined that the target information is achieved, the reward management unit 430 may provide the reward corresponding to the amount of energy saved to the user terminal 300. [ For example, the reward management unit 430 may calculate the saved amount based on the saved energy amount, and may deposit the saved amount into the virtual account linked with the user terminal 300. [ In another example, the reward manager 430 may send coupons, virtual money, or points corresponding to the saved amount to the user terminal 300.

On the other hand, the reward management unit 430 can determine whether or not the target information is achieved for each home appliance provided in the home. The reward management unit 430 may pay rewards to at least one user terminal 300 previously matched with the corresponding home appliance if it is determined that the target information for the specific home appliance has been achieved. In other words, the reward management unit 430 can set the user terminal 300 to receive the reward for each appliance. For this, the reward management unit 430 can dynamically determine the user terminal 300 to be matched with a specific home appliance based on the collected usage information. Specific details related thereto will be described later with reference to Fig.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing specific functions of the target information setting unit 420 of FIG.

As described above, the target information setting unit 420 of the management server 400 analyzes at least one usage information accumulated and stored, and stores at least one target information among the target information by appliance, target information by user, and common goal information Can be generated.

First, the target information setting unit 420 may determine whether to generate common goal information by analyzing usage information collected during a predetermined time period among past accumulated usage information.

Specifically, the target information setting unit 420 can calculate the total power consumption of the home by analyzing all the usage information collected during the predetermined time period. The target information setting unit 420 can generate analysis information on the total power consumption of the corresponding home. At this time, the target information setting unit 420 may search the analysis information on the other premises and compare the average of the total power consumption of the other premises with the calculated total power consumption of the corresponding premises. In this process, if the calculated total power consumption of the house is larger than the average total power consumption of the other households, the target information setting unit 420 can generate common target information for the house. In this case, the target information setting unit 420 can set the total power consumption amount of the corresponding home included in the common target information to be smaller than the average total power consumption amount of the other home.

In addition, the target information setting unit 420 may determine whether to generate target information for each appliance by analyzing usage information collected during a predetermined time period among past accumulated usage information.

For this purpose, the target information setting unit 420 may classify the usage information collected during the predetermined time period among the cumulative stored past usage information for each appliance. The target information setting unit 420 may analyze the information on the consumption power, the total power consumption, the usage time for each user, and the like of the individual household appliances based on the usage information classified by the appliance, and generate the analysis information . For example, the target information setting unit 420 determines that the power consumption of the air conditioner is 40% of the total power consumption, the power consumption of the TV is 20% of the total power consumption, the consumption of the hair dryer It can be confirmed that the power is 5% of the total power consumption, and the analysis information can be generated. At this time, if the ratio of the power consumption amount of the specific home appliance to the total power consumption exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the target information setting unit 420 can generate target information for each home appliance.

In the above-described embodiment, when the predetermined threshold value is 30%, the target information setting unit 420 can generate target information for each air conditioner for the air conditioner. At the same time, the target information setting unit 420 may not generate target information for each TV and hairdressing appliance. Here, the target information for each appliance generated by the target information setting unit 420 may be a kind of mission information for guiding the power consumption of the home appliances to be less than the power consumption during the past target period during the target period.

Finally, the target information setting unit 420 can determine whether to generate the individual target information by analyzing the usage information classified by the household appliances.

The individual goal information may be target information individually provided for a user residing in the home jointly. For example, the individual goal information may be a goal related to electricity savings that the first user must perform alone. As a more specific example, the individual target information may be information for determining whether the electricity consumption amount of the specific home appliance used by the first user for a certain period of time is lower than the threshold value.

For this purpose, the target information setting unit 420 can determine the main user of any one of the home appliances by analyzing the usage information of the one home appliances. For example, the target information setting unit 420 may collect last-month usage information for any one of the home appliances and generate analysis information on power consumption per user for the home appliances. The target information setting unit 420 may determine a user whose power consumption amount per user exceeds a predetermined threshold value or a user who uses the most power as a main user of the home appliance. Then, the target information setting unit 420 may generate individual target information for at least one user (user terminal) determined to be the main user.

In this way, the target information setting unit 420 can generate at least one target information to be performed during the target period, and can generate target information according to the life pattern based on accumulated usage information of the past.

In some other embodiments, the target information setting section 420 may set the target information further considering the season information. Specifically, when setting the target information for the month of July, the target information setting unit 420 can set the target information by considering both the amount of power used in June and the season information of July. In general, since July is the period when the use of air-conditioning related appliances such as air conditioners is increasing, the amount of energy higher than the power consumption in June can be set as the target information in July. However, the target information is not limited to the above-described example, and may be set in various ways depending on the use environment. That is, when setting the target information for May, the target information setting unit 420 may analyze the past stored usage information and set the amount of power used in the home in May of a year ago as target information.

Meanwhile, the target information setting unit 420 may transmit the generated target information to the user terminal 300 corresponding to the target information. That is, when it is confirmed that the common goal information for the specific premises is generated, the goal information setting unit 420 can transmit the common goal information to all the user terminals 300 registered in the corresponding home. If it is determined that the target information for each appliance is generated for one of the household appliances, the reward management unit 430 transmits the target information for each appliance to the user terminal 300 of the user who used the appliance for the past predetermined period of time Information can be transmitted. In addition, the target information setting unit 420 can transmit the individual target information generated in the user terminal 300 determined as the main user of the specific home appliance.

Referring to FIG. 5, a specific function of the reward management unit 430 of FIG. 3 is shown.

The reward management unit 430 can determine whether or not the target information set by the target information setting unit 420 is achieved. Specifically, the reward management unit 430 compares the usage information collected during the target period for performing the target information with at least one target information of the common target information, the target information of each appliance, and the individual target information, Can be determined.

In addition, the reward management unit 430 can dynamically determine the user terminal 300 to provide a reward based on the usage information collected in real time during the target period, if the specific target information is determined to be achieved.

For example, if the reward management unit 430 determines that the common goal information is achieved, the reward management unit 430 may search the user terminal 300 provided with the common goal information. The reward management unit 430 may classify the usage information collected during the target period for each of the searched user terminals 300. As described above, the common goal information can be provided to the user terminals of all users living in the premises. Therefore, the reward management unit 430 may collect usage information related to all user terminals, and may divide usage information by user terminals based on identification information of the user terminals included in the usage information. The reward management unit 430 may calculate the total amount of power consumption for each user terminal during the target period based on the usage information classified by the user terminal. The reward management unit 430 may select the user terminal 300 having the lowest total power consumption and provide the savings amount corresponding to the target information to the account linked with the selected user terminal 300, Virtual money or points to the user terminal 300. [

As another example, if it is determined that the target information for each specific appliance is achieved by the reward management unit 430, the reward management unit 430 may analyze the identification information included in the usage information and search for the user using the corresponding appliance during the target period . The reward management unit 430 may calculate the amount of power used by a user (user terminal) using the corresponding home appliance and compare the amount of power consumption with the amount of power used in the past. As a specific example, the reward management unit 430 may compute the amount of energy saved by comparing the TV power consumption of July (the target period) of the first user with the TV power consumption of June of the first user. In a similar manner, the reward manager 430 may calculate the saved energy amount of another user including the second user. Then, the reward management unit 430 may determine the user terminal 300 that provides the reward by comparing the amount of energy saved by each user, thereby saving the largest amount of energy.

On the other hand, since the individual target information is target information for determining energy saving for each user, the reward management unit 430 can immediately provide the reward to the corresponding user terminal 300 when the individual goal information is achieved.

In some other embodiments, the reward manager 430 may repeat the process of determining the user terminal 300 that receives the reward at predetermined time intervals. At this time, if the user terminal 300 receiving the reward is changed, the reward management unit 430 may generate a notification message and transmit the corresponding target information to all the user terminals 300 that have received the reward.

That is, according to the present invention, even if the target information is achieved, the reward is not provided to all users related to the target information but is provided only to the user terminal 300 of the user determined by the reward management unit 430 . The user terminal to receive the reward is determined in advance based on the usage information collected during the target period to achieve the target information, can do. Therefore, according to the present invention, users who live in the house can have the effect of more active energy saving to receive the reward.

The wireless AP 200 can transmit a plurality of pieces of usage information collected from the plurality of connection devices 100 to the management server 400. [

The management server 400 may analyze the usage information collected during the target period to determine whether the target information is achieved (520).

The target information may be generated in advance and includes common goal information, target information per appliance, and individual goal information. The management server 400 generates analysis information by analyzing at least one piece of usage information collected during a predetermined time period among cumulative stored past usage information, and generates common information based on the generated analysis information, target information per appliance, It is possible to determine whether to generate the individual target information. The related contents have been described above, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.
