At this time, the current location of the user is moved based on a user movement control command through the user's mouse click or direction key input, and the user's current location is changed and displayed on a screen corresponding to the changed location based on the user's location change in real time. .

Here, on the flat map 530 , the moving direction information along with the user's moving path 531 and the user's current location 532 may be displayed in a fan shape, and floor information 533 related to the current moving path is also displayed. can be In addition, the building space map 520 selects and displays a three-dimensional space related to the current moving path, so that it is possible to easily check the space to which the current moving path belongs in a plurality of spaces or a building space composed of a plurality of buildings.

In addition, when a user moves along a movement path through a user input such as a mouse click or a direction key input, a flat map 530 and a building space map 520 information along with the virtual reality screen 510 to the corresponding changed location is changed in real time by reflecting the corresponding location information, and through the automatic tour function, a screen moving along the movement path from the starting point input by the user to the target point may be automatically displayed without user input. In this case, the moving speed may be changed according to a user's setting.

6A and 6B are exemplary views illustrating a screen providing a current state of a mechanical equipment and a remote control function in an indoor navigation VR screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 6A , the movement path 511 displayed in the VR screen is overlaid and displayed, and a plurality of mechanical equipments displayed on the user's movement path on the VR screen moving according to the user input, that is, close to the user's movement path, are displayed. is displayed, and mechanical equipment display information 610 , 620 , 630 such as a serial number or name of each mechanical equipment may be displayed together. The user confirms the appearance of the corresponding mechanical equipment together with a plurality of mechanical equipment and equipment display information (610, 620, 630) displayed on the screen at the current location, for example, selects or selects the equipment display information (610, 620, 630) You can select the machine for which you want further information by clicking on it.

Referring to FIG. 6B , the mechanical equipment state information 611 related to the current state of the mechanical equipment display information 610 selected by the user may be displayed overlaid on the VR screen, in which case the current state of the corresponding mechanical equipment is displayed, for example. An ON state may be displayed among ON, OFF, and RESET, and a normal state may be displayed among normal and abnormal states in relation to normal operation. Since this machine equipment state information 611 represents the real-time latest data fetched from the remote facility monitoring server 300 based on the user selection time, the user is moving along the movement path, Status information can be checked remotely.

In addition, remote control information 612 related to the corresponding mechanical equipment appears together, and in the case of a user who has the control right of the corresponding mechanical equipment, a remote control command is transmitted to the remote equipment control server 400 through the remote control information 612 selection. Remote control commands can be executed. In addition, by judging whether the user has the authority related to the mechanical equipment displayed in the VR screen, only when the user has the authority related to the mechanical equipment displayed in the VR screen By being configured to display information overlaid, it is possible to enhance security so that the state in a space requiring security, such as a security room or a machine room, is not disclosed to users without access rights.

Through such remote status monitoring and remote control management, the user can not only grasp the current status of the corresponding mechanical equipment without visiting the corresponding location in the space, but also perform remote control management along with the current status check. In this case, the security function can be strengthened by first determining whether the management authority of the corresponding machine is authorized.

7 is a flowchart for explaining a method of providing indoor navigation for managing mechanical equipment for each floor in a building according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, an image of the inside of each floor of a building may be received and stored. (S710)

A panoramic VR screen can be created for each floor of the building by combining the images inside each floor of the building. (S720)

It is possible to store the location information of a plurality of mechanical equipment disposed in the building, and to store the location information of the mechanical equipment in association with the coordinate information of the VR screen. (S730) In this case, the location information of the mechanical equipment includes floor information and space information and It can include accurate coordinate information in the space, and when the location of the mechanical equipment is changed, the location information can be updated and stored.

In addition, the location information of the mechanical equipment related to the control target may be linked and stored. (S740) For example, the control target of the mechanical panel is temperature and humidity, fire-related equipment, power equipment, distribution board, camera, sewage pump, cooling water circulation pump, etc. By classifying each mechanical facility as a function to be controlled, the user or manager can identify the floor information and location information on which the mechanical equipment related to the control object is located, even if the user or manager searches only the control object, and determines the location of the mechanical equipment. You can get route guidance.

In this way, after associating the VR screen with the machine facility location information, the user's selected location, machine facility, or control target information may be received ( S750 ). For example, departure location information including departure floor information from the user and the machine to be found When receiving the equipment information, the location of the corresponding mechanical equipment may be set as the destination position from the corresponding starting position. In addition, by first receiving control target information from the user, searching for and providing a mechanical device related to the corresponding control target, the location of the finally selected mechanical device may be set as the final target location. In addition, it is possible to set the location of a plurality of mechanical facilities as a waypoint, and the location of each machine facility as a waypoint.

Next, the route setting is completed based on the set waypoints and destinations, and the moving route can be displayed on a three-part screen consisting of a VR screen, spatial information, and a flat map. (S760) The user can display the route on the VR screen and the flat map. The direction of movement can be confirmed through the direction of the movement path shown in , and the presence or absence of the surrounding environment displayed on the VR screen and flat map and mechanical equipment located on the movement path can be checked.

If there is a machine facility in the VR screen, the current status information related to the machine facility can be retrieved from the remote facility monitoring server and displayed (S770). At this time, whether the user has the authority related to the machine facility displayed in the VR screen By determining, information security can be strengthened by being configured to overlay and display the machine equipment status information related to the current state of the machine facility only when the user has the authority related to the machine facility.

The embodiments disclosed in the specification of the present invention are merely illustrative, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The scope of the present invention should be construed by the following claims, and all technologies within the scope equivalent thereto should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention.
