Description

IoT based baby cradle device {IoT BASED BABY CRADDLE}

The present invention relates to an IoT-based baby cradle device, and more particularly, to an IoT-based baby cradle device that uses measurement information and analysis information generated during child-care taking into consideration baby's toddler's line and various child care environment patterns.

The paradigm of home automation, a comprehensive system that integrates and manages existing home appliances, is evolving into a new paradigm called Smart Home.

Domestic Smart Home Control Technology and overseas Smart Home Control Technology development trend shows that Korea is pursuing integrated control of home appliances and large household appliances into one smart device. It is being researched to the extent that smart devices are added to existing home automation control. In addition to enabling control and operation of home appliances used in everyday life, Smart home control in overseas has attempted various researches in order to utilize cooking appliances more effectively by linking cooking appliances of small appliances with smart devices And overseas, it is moving toward realizing a smart home through smart home appliances based on home automation.

As the spread of smart devices is rapidly increasing, everyday life is shifting to smart devices, and smart home control empirical system is developed. There is a need to develop a smart home control B2C reference model.

The purpose of this study is to understand the general situation and industrial situation, to understand the general smart home control industry, and to identify industrial and technical problems and issues and to suggest alternatives through the application analysis.

Also, it is aimed to present smart home control reference model for infant and child care environment through emotional lighting technology, smart bottle, and smart cradle technology.
