1 is a diagram illustrating a system 10 for controlling a smart device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the system 10 for controlling a smart device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a generator 100, a converter 210, an output 220, a first input 230, and a second. It may include an input unit 240.

The system 10 for controlling the smart device may receive an input signal generated by the generator 100 and convert the input signal to be interpreted as a protocol corresponding to the current mode. The system (10) that controls the smart device can convert the output to user's own protocol to prevent it from being decrypted by other users when outputting the data. User-specific protocols are defined by the user and can be changed. The system 10 for controlling a smart device may output one data in two modes. Part of the output unit may be output as the first protocol, and the rest of the output unit may be output as the second protocol. The system 10 for controlling the smart device may not only change the mode information by the mode signal, but also output the data converted into the first protocol or the second protocol according to the mode information at the time of receiving the data. One of the first protocol or the second protocol may be one regulated by the user.

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

The converter 210, the first input unit 230, and the second input unit 240 may be provided in one device, but are not limited thereto and may be variously combined.

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

The converter 210 may convert the input signal and the input data received from the generator 100. The converter 210 may convert or edit the output data in consideration of a user input received through the first input unit 230 or the second input unit 240. When the input unit 210 receives an input from the first input unit 230, the converting unit 210 may control to output the previously or previously received input data or a part of the first half of the input data in time. When the input from the second input unit 240 is received, the converter 210 may control to output the input data to be received after the received input data. In another embodiment, when an input is received from the second input unit 240, the conversion unit 210 may control to convert a part of the second half of the input data to be output.

The first input unit 230 and the second input unit 240 perform a function of receiving an input from a user. The first input unit 230 and the second input unit 240 have a key pad, a dome switch, a touch pad (contact capacitive type, pressure resistive layer type, infrared sensing type, surface ultrasonic conduction). Method, integral tension measuring method, piezo effect method, etc.), jog wheel, jog switch, etc., but is not limited thereto.

The output unit 220 is a component for providing, displaying, and expressing data to a user, and may provide data in a direct contact or non-contact manner with the user. The output unit 220 may provide data to the user through one or more protrusions. Each protrusion is attached to the upper or lower portion of the device, by giving a linear movement in the vertical direction, it can give the user a one-dimensional line-like stimulus. Each protrusion may linearly move in the left and right directions, thereby giving the user a two-dimensional line-like stimulus. Some of the plurality of protrusions move in the first direction and the others move in the second direction, thereby providing predetermined data.

The protrusions may be placed at locations corresponding to the user's nerves, cells or blood vessels to 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 to deliver data that can be understood through the user's brain.

The output unit 220 may adjust the amount, expression, and display of the output data so as to be output within a predetermined area. For example, if only 10 bytes of data can be output, the output unit 220 may edit and provide output data exceeding 10 bytes within 10 bytes.

2 is a diagram for describing an operation of the converter 210.

The converter 210 may receive the mode signal mode_d and the input signal t_data from the generator 100, and convert the input signal in consideration of the mode signal. In this case, the received input signal may be converted into a protocol defined by a user or a protocol that is generally decipherable. The converter 210 may convert part of the input signal into the first protocol and convert the rest of the input signal into the second protocol. The second protocol is changeable 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 converter 210 may read a protocol table corresponding to the current mode obtained through the received mode signal and detect an output value capable of converting an input signal from the protocol table. When the input signal t_data is generated, the converter 210 immediately receives the mode signal mode_t for processing the input signal t_data. The converter 210 may select a protocol corresponding to the information included in the mode signal, and generate an output signal decoded by the protocol. The converter 210 may transmit the output signal to the output unit 220 and control the data according to the output signal to be output.

The converter 210 may include a mode processor 211 for processing a mode signal and an input processor 212 for processing an input signal.

When an input signal is generated from the generator 100, the input processor 212 may transmit a signal for requesting mode information to the mode processor 211. The mode processor 211 may directly transmit mode information acquired from the previously received mode signal mode_d or may receive the mode signal mode_d from the output unit 220 and transmit the mode signal mode_d to the input processor 212. The mode processing unit 211 analyzes the mode signal mode_d, and then mode mode (mode_ ㅇ).

The input processor 212 may transmit an input signal to one of the first protocol table 301 or the second protocol table 302 according to the mode information. The input processor 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 processor 212 corresponds to the input signal t_data and has the same meaning by using the mode data m1 received from the mode processor 211 and the output value cal_1 calculated from the received input signal, and has a first meaning. The output data O_data_m created by the second protocol different from the protocol can be generated. For example, when receiving the data '1 o' from the generation unit 100, the conversion unit 210 calculates the output value (cal_1) corresponding to the input '1 o', and the mode data (m1) And output data O_data_m for the output value cal_1. The converter 210 searches for the output data corresponding to the mode data m1 and the output value cal_1 by using the first protocol table 301 or the second protocol table 302.

The converter 210 may have a first buffer buff1 and a second buffer buff2 configured of a predetermined threshold size, for example, 80 bytes. The converter 210 may divide and store the first input signal t_data2 from the generator 100 into the first buffer buff1 and the second buffer buff2. When the input unit 230 does not receive an input from the first input unit 230 and the second input unit 240, the converter 210 controls to output the entirety of the first input signal t_data2 from the generator 100. When the second input signal S1 is received from the input unit 230, accordingly, only the data stored in the first buffer buff1 may be output. The converter 210 may generate output data by using the first protocol table or the second protocol table according to the mode as described in FIG. 2, and divides the output data into the first buffer and the second buffer.

As shown in FIG. 3B, when the first input signal t_data2 is received from the generation unit 100 and the third input signal S2 is received from the second input unit 240, the conversion unit 210 may receive the first input signal t_data2.
