The system 10 for controlling the smart device can receive an input signal generated by the generating unit 100 and convert the input signal so that it can be interpreted as a convention corresponding to the current mode. The system 10 controlling the smart device can convert and output the data to the user's own protocol in order to prevent it from being deciphered by other users when outputting the data. User-defined rules are defined by the user and can be changed. The system 10 for controlling the smart device is also capable of outputting one piece of data in two modes.

The system 10 controlling the smart device can change the mode information according to the mode signal and output the data converted into the first protocol or the second protocol according to the mode information at the time of data reception. One of the first or second protocol may be one that is contracted by the user.

The generating unit 100 may be provided separately from the converting unit 210. The generating unit 100 and the converting unit 210 may exchange data through a directly connected line or may transmit and receive packets according to a specific communication protocol through a communication network.

The conversion unit 210, the first input unit 230, and the second input unit 240 may be provided in one apparatus, but the present invention is not limited thereto and various combinations can be made.

The generating unit 100 may receive data from an external device or a user device, and may generate data corresponding to the received data.

The conversion unit 210 can convert the input signal and the input data received from the generation unit 100. The conversion unit 210 may convert or edit the output data in consideration of the user input received through the first input unit 230 or the second input unit 240. [ When the input from the first input unit 230 is received, the converting unit 210 may control to convert a part of the first half of the previous or previous received input data or the input data and output the converted data. The conversion unit 210 may control the output of the input data to be received subsequent to the received input data when the input is received from the second input unit 240. [ In another embodiment, when the input from the second input unit 240 is received, the conversion unit 210 may control to convert a part of the second half of the input data and output the converted part.

The output unit 220 is a structure for providing, displaying, and presenting data to a user, and can provide data in direct contact with the user or in a non-contact manner. The output unit 220 may provide data to the user through one or more protrusions. Each projection is attached to the upper or lower portion of the apparatus, and by linearly moving in the up-and-down direction, a stimulus of the same shape as a one-dimensional line can be given to the user. Each of the projections linearly moves in the left-right direction, thereby giving a stimulus to the user in the form of a two-dimensional line. A portion of the plurality of projections may move in a first direction, and the remainder may move in a second direction to provide predetermined data.

The protrusions may be disposed at positions corresponding to the nerves, cells, or blood vessels of the user and may provide data through the user's nerves, cells, or blood vessels. In addition, the output unit 220 may be connected to the user's brain and may transmit data that can be understood through the user's brain.

The output unit 220 can adjust the amount, representation, and display of the output data so as to be output in a predetermined area. For example, when the output unit 220 can output only 10 bytes of data, the output unit 220 may edit the output data of 10 bytes or less in 10 bytes or less.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the conversion unit 210. FIG.

The converting unit 210 receives the mode signal 'mode_d' and the input signal 't_data' from the generating unit 100 and can convert the input signal in consideration of the mode signal. At this time, the received input signal can be converted into a protocol defined by the user or a protocol that can be generally decoded. The conversion unit 210 may convert a part of the input signal into a first protocol and convert the rest of the input signal into a second protocol. The second protocol can be changed by the user. When the specific definition of the second protocol is changed, the device 10 for controlling the smart device transmits and receives data for changing the protocol table accordingly.

The conversion unit 210 may read the protocol table corresponding to the current mode obtained through the received mode signal and may detect an output value capable of converting the input signal from the protocol table. When the input signal t_data is generated, the conversion unit 210 directly receives the mode signal t_data for processing the input signal t_data. The conversion unit 210 may select a protocol corresponding to the information included in the mode signal and generate an output signal decoded by the protocol. The conversion unit 210 may transmit the output signal to the output unit 220 to control the output of the data according to the output signal.

The mode processing unit 211 may directly transmit the mode information obtained from the received mode signal mode_d or may receive the mode signal mode_d from the output unit 220 and may transmit the mode signal to the input processing unit 212. [ The mode processing unit 211 analyzes the mode signal (mode_d) and outputs the mode signal

The input processing unit 212 may transmit the input signal to one of the first protocol table 301 or the second protocol table 302 according to the mode information. The input processing unit 212 may use the first protocol table 301 to convert to the first protocol and use the second protocol table 302 to convert to the second protocol. The input processing unit 212 has the same meaning as that corresponding to the input signal t_data using the mode data m1 received from the mode processing unit 211 and the output value cal_1 calculated from the received input signal, (O_data_m) written in the second protocol different from the protocol. For example, when receiving the data '1 o'clock' from the generator 100, the conversion unit 210 calculates an output value 'cal_1' corresponding to the input '1 o'clock' And output data O_data_m for the output value cal_1. The conversion unit 210 searches the first protocol table 301 or the second protocol table 302 for the output data corresponding to the mode data m1 and the output value cal_1.

The converting unit 210 may divide the first input signal t_data2 from the generating unit 100 into a first buffer buff1 and a second buffer buff2. The conversion unit 210 controls the generation unit 100 to output the entire first input signal t_data2 when no input is received from the first input unit 230 and the second input unit 240, When the second input signal S1 is received from the input unit 230, it is possible to control so that only the data stored in the first buffer buff1 is output. The converting unit 210 can generate output data using the first protocol table or the second protocol table according to the mode as described with reference to FIG. 2, and stores the output data in the first buffer and the second buffer.

3B, when the first input signal t_data2 is received from the generating unit 100 and the third input signal S2 is received from the second input unit 240, the converting unit 210 converts And to output the remainder of the first input signal.

In step S140, if the current mode is not the normal mode, the device 100 controlling the smart device may read the input or sensed data and convert the data by referring to a previously stored convention table corresponding to the current code. The device 100 for controlling the smart device can store the protocol table defined by the user and can convert the data according to the stored protocol table.

In step S150, if the current mode is the normal mode, the device 100 that controls the smart device can read the input or sensed data and convert the data into the first protocol. The first protocol is not a protocol for a user by a user, but may mean a protocol defined in general. For example, the first protocol may refer to a system in which a language such as English or Korean is spoken or used in a specific group such as the visually impaired, the deaf, or the military.

In S250, the device 100 controlling the smart device can control to sequentially output the input data sequentially in time in the received order if there is no movement input.

In S240, the device 100 controlling the smart device can control to output only the first group or the second group of the received data according to the movement input when the movement input is sensed. Here, the first group and the second group mean part of the data. The first group may mean the first half, and the second group may mean the second half data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to jump in the data as determined by the user. For example, the even-numbered character may be set as the first group and the odd-numbered character may be set as the second group. Although data is not always divided into two groups, this embodiment will be described as dividing into two groups.

The device 100 for controlling the smart device can control to output the first group of data in the first direction out of the data being output when the movement input is the input moving in the first direction. The device 100 for controlling the smart device can control to output the second group of data according to the second group out of the data being output when the movement input is the input moving in the second direction.

The device 10 controlling the smart device may analyze the received mode signal to determine the current mode (S320). The device controlling the smart device 10 may utilize the previously stored protocol table, but if the protocol table corresponding to the current mode is not retrieved, the device 20 can request the protocol table corresponding to the current code to the server 20 (S330 ). The device 10 controlling the smart device from the server 20 in response to the request may receive the protocol table corresponding to the current mode. The server 20 can generate and manage a protocol table based on the content defined by the device 10 that controls the smart device. The device 10 for controlling the smart device can generate and store one or more data composed of a combination of original data and conversion data by a user. The generated user-specific protocol table can be backed up and managed by the server 20.
