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

The system of Figure 1 is an example of a system to which the present invention is applied, each room room cone 100 installed in each room of the house, the central room cone 200 installed in the living room, the central room cone 200 and the communication with the power line and the heating water valve on or The heating water valve controller 300 to be turned off, the boiler 400 is in communication with the heating water valve controller 300 by a power line. The boiler 400 may be an Internet boiler including a communication module.

First, the boiler 400 transmits outside temperature data and the heating water valve controller 300 transmits the central room cone 200. The outside temperature is a temperature where the boiler 400 is installed, and converts an analog signal sensed by a temperature sensor (not shown) mounted on the boiler 400 to a digital signal.

The central room cone 200 transmits the air temperature data transmitted from the heating water valve controller 300 and a message including each room ID, each room number, and the like to each room. Each room ID, each room number is set to distinguish a number of rooms in the house, belonging to the conventional technology, detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

Each room room cone 100 parses and stores outside air temperature data in a message including its own room ID and each room number among messages transmitted from the central room cone 200.

Apart from the above, different period information input for each of a plurality of different temperature ranges is stored in the user setting. In particular, shorter period information may be set in the temperature range to which the low temperature belongs.

Then, heating data is stored. For example, heating reservation on or off data input according to a user setting, heating on or off data, and a bet temperature input from a temperature sensor (not shown) mounted to each room cone 100 are stored.

Next, the stored heating-related data is transmitted whenever a period corresponding to the temperature range to which the stored outside temperature belongs, among different period information stored for each of the plurality of different temperature ranges.

For example, heating related data including one or more of heating reservation on, off data, data indicating whether heating is on or off, and bet temperature data of a room is transmitted.

As a result, heating-related data is transmitted at a cycle corresponding to the temperature range to which the outside air temperature belongs.

Thus, in summer, spring, and autumn when the use of boilers is relatively low, the number of times of transmitting heating-related data is reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the batteries in each room.

Each room room cone 100 of FIG. 2 is an example of each room room cone to which the present invention is applied, the key input unit 101, a temperature sensor 102 for outputting an analog signal corresponding to the indoor temperature of the room, and an analog output from the temperature sensor 102. A / D converter 103 for converting a signal into a digital signal, an outside air temperature received from the communication module 104, a communication module 104 for receiving outside temperature data, and transmitting heating-related data, and an A / D converter ( The internal air temperature in the memory 105 and the external air temperature in the memory 105 which store different period information for each of a plurality of different temperature ranges and the heating-related data inputted from the key input unit 101 and the different temperature ranges The transmission period control unit 106 for controlling the heating-related data transmission of the communication module 104 according to the period corresponding to the temperature range belonging, and the CPU 107 for controlling the respective units.

First, the CPU 107 decodes the heating reservation on or off data input through the key input unit 101, the heating on or off data, and the RF signal received by the communication module 104 according to a user's key operation. The outside temperature of the modulated and buffered data is stored in the memory 105 under the control of.

The temperature sensor 102 outputs an analog signal corresponding to the indoor temperature of the room, and the A / D converter 103 converts the analog signal into a digital signal. The converted bet temperature is stored in the memory 105 under the control of the CPU 107.

The transmission period control unit 106 controls the heating-related data transmission of the communication module 104 according to the period corresponding to the temperature range to which the outside air temperature in the memory 105 belongs under the control of the CPU 107.

For example, under the control of the CPU 107, the enable signal is output whenever the period corresponding to the temperature range to which the outside air temperature belongs, and the communication module 104 is enabled.

Specifically, when the temperature range of the outside air temperature is 25 (℃) or more, the enable signal is output every 15 minutes. In addition, an enable signal is output every 5 minutes in the spring or autumn of 18-25 ° C. and 1 minute in the winter of 18 ° C. or less.

Then, the communication module 104 is in accordance with the enable signal output from the transmission period control unit 106, the heating reservation on or off data output from the CPU 107, bet temperature of the room, heating on or Off-data is transmitted in RF (Radio Frequency) signal of 447MHz band.

As a result, data necessary for heating is transmitted every long cycle elapses when the outside air temperature is high and every short cycle elapses when the outside air temperature is low.

Therefore, it is possible to reduce the power consumption of the battery in the room cone in summer, spring and autumn when the use of boiler is relatively low.

As shown in Figures 3a to 3c, the present invention sets different periods for a number of different temperature ranges in each room cone. And, the shorter period is set as the temperature range to which the lower temperature belongs. The temperature range may be set to, for example, 25 (° C.) or more, 18 to 25 (° C.), or less than 18 (° C.). The cycle may be set to any one time within a range of 10 to 30 (minutes) when the temperature range is 25 (° C.) or more (FIG. 3A). And in the case of 18-25 (degreeC), it can be set to any one time within the range of 1-10 (minute) (FIG. 3B), and in the case of less than 18 (degrees.) 30 (second)-1 (minute) ( 3c).

The signal transmission method of FIG. 4 is an example of a signal transmission method according to the present invention.

First, different periods are stored for each of a plurality of different temperature ranges in the room cone (S400). The setting aspect of the temperature range and the period may be the same as described above.

Next, the outdoor temperature data is received (S401). The outside air temperature data is data sensed by the temperature sensor of the boiler installed outside, it can be transmitted according to the operation made in the system of FIG.

Next, the heating-related data corresponds to, for example, data indicating whether the heating reservation is turned on or off, room temperature data of the room, heating on or off data corresponding to the temperature ranges (S402, S404) to which the outside temperature received in step S401 belongs. Each time the period elapses, the data is transmitted (S403, S405, S406).

For example, when the temperature range to which the outside air temperature belongs is 25 (° C.) or more, the transmission is performed every 15 minutes. If the temperature range to which the outside air temperature falls is between 18 and 25 ° C in spring or autumn, it is transmitted every 5 minutes in the case of winter or less than 18 ° C (S403, S405, S406). ).

Therefore, when the outside air temperature is high, the data necessary for heating is transmitted at every long cycle, and at low intervals when the outside air temperature is high, and in summer, spring and autumn when the boiler is less used, the power consumption of the batteries in the room cone is reduced. Can be reduced.

As described in detail above, the present invention can reduce the power consumption of the battery mounted in each room room cone in summer, spring, autumn when the use of the boiler is relatively low.
