Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view showing a concept of an industrial environment information collection system to which the present invention is applicable. The industrial environment information collection system to which the present invention is applicable is a system for collecting biometric information and environment information of workers in an industrial environment.

In order to ensure the safe working environment of workers in an industrial environment that is poor or contains a large number of risk factors, it is necessary to collect biometric information and environmental information, and to inform the workers.

As shown in FIG. 1, the industrial environment information collecting system that performs the above-described functions is constructed by connecting the industrial terminal 100 and the healthcare device 200 so that they can communicate with each other.

The industrial terminal 100 is a terminal that provides programs and functions for inventory management, facility management, manufacturing management, and the like, and can be implemented as a handheld device, a rugged device, or the like.

Further, the industrial terminal 100 can be implemented in various types, as shown in Fig.

The healthcare device 200 is a device for acquiring biometric information and working environment information of a worker, and is preferably implemented as a wearable type. FIG. 3 illustrates a watch-type healthcare device 200, which is merely exemplary and other types of implementations are possible.

Meanwhile, the healthcare device 200 may further include an auxiliary configuration for acquiring biometric information of the worker. 4 illustrates a healthcare device 200 that further includes a pulse wave measuring device.

5 is a detailed block diagram of the healthcare device 200 shown in FIG. 5, the healthcare device 200 includes a communication unit 210, a living body sensor 220, a controller 230, an environment sensor 240, and a storage unit 250.

The communication unit 210 establishes wireless communication and maintains a connection with the industrial terminal 100 as a means for communicating wirelessly.

The biometric sensor 220 is a sensor for acquiring biometric information of a worker. The biometric information of a worker to be acquired may include body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, etc., and may include other biometric information Of course.

The environment sensor 240 is a sensor for acquiring environmental information on the worker. The environmental information to be acquired includes not only basic environmental information such as temperature, humidity, and illumination, but also special environmental information such as carbon dioxide concentration, carbon monoxide concentration, Of course.

The storage unit 250 functions as a storage medium for storing biometric information generated by the biometric sensor 220 and environment information generated by the environment sensor 240. [

The control unit 230 transmits the biometric information generated by the biometric sensor 220 stored in the storage unit 250 and the environment information generated by the environment sensor 240 to the industrial terminal 100 through the communication unit 210 Wirelessly.

The industrial terminal 100 may display the biometric information and the environment information transmitted from the healthcare device 200 and guide the related information to the worker. Further, the industrial terminal 100 may guide the risk identified from the biometric information and the environment information.

For example, when the health of the worker is identified as a dangerous state through the biometric information, the industrial terminal 100 generates an alarm and the risk Can be warned.

Furthermore, the industrial terminal 100 may provide a way to avoid a dangerous situation.

Meanwhile, the industrial terminal 100 may transmit the biometric information and the environment information received from the healthcare device 200 to a server of the enterprise or a terminal of the administrator. This is to manage the health and working environment of the workers at the enterprise / manager level, to inform the risks and to seek improvement.

6 is a flowchart provided in the description of the industrial environment information collection method according to another embodiment of the present invention.

6, first, the bio-sensor 220 of the healthcare device 200 generates bio-information of the worker and transmits it to the industrial terminal 100 (S410). Then, the industrial terminal 100 stores the biometric information of the employee received in step S410 (S420). The biometric information generation / transmission in step S410 is performed periodically.

In addition, the environmental sensor 240 of the healthcare device 200 generates the work environment information of the worker and transmits it to the industrial terminal 100 (S430). Then, the industrial terminal 100 stores the environment information of the employee received in step S430 (S440). The environment information generation / transmission in step S430 is also performed periodically.

Thereafter, the industrial terminal 100 displays the biometric information and the environment information stored in steps S420 and S440, and notifies the corresponding information to the worker (S450). The information guidance in step S450 can be implemented not only when there is a request from the employee, but also periodically or always.

In step S460, the industrial terminal 100 transmits the biometric information and the environment information stored in steps S420 and S440 to the server of the enterprise or the terminal of the administrator. Therefore, the company / manager manages the health and working environment of the workers and seeks improvement.

If the risk is recognized from the stored biometric information and environment information in steps S420 and S440, that is, if it is determined that the worker is in a dangerous state, the industrial terminal 100 alerts the worker by generating an alarm (S470).

Up to now, preferred embodiments of the method and system for collecting industrial environmental information have been described in detail.

In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the biometric information and the environment information of the worker are collected, but the technical idea of the present invention can also be applied to collecting other information. For example, collecting information on the movement trajectory or working time of an employee is also included in the scope of the present invention.

On the other hand, it is also possible to establish causality between the collected environmental information and biometric information. For example, monitoring the worker's bio-changes according to work environment can be provided for reference in deploying worker's workplace. More specifically, workers who are sensitive to a living organism in a specific working environment should be careful not to work in the work environment.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
