The present invention relates to an information collection device for the management of urban facilities, and more particularly, it is interspersed by being provided for each urban facility, and collects one information from a detection signal transmitted from a plurality of sensing devices each having different communication protocols. The present invention relates to an information collection device for integrated management of urban facilities received and processed through a device.

Ubiquitous technology is gradually increasing with the development of internet and wireless communication technology. Such ubiquitous means an environment in which a user can freely access a network regardless of a computer or a network.

Such ubiquitous is not used alone, but is implemented in the form of ubiquitous communication, ubiquitous network, etc., and does not add any function to the computer, but instead puts the computer into any device or object such as a car, a refrigerator, glasses, a clock, or a stereo device to communicate. This is an information technology (IT) environment or information technology paradigm that makes this possible.

When ubiquitous, information technology can be used not only in homes and cars, but even on top of the mountain, and the number of computer users connected to the network will increase, thus increasing the size and scope of the information technology industry.

The network technology configured to collect information collected from various sensors using the ubiquitous technology is very active. This network technology is called a ubiquitous sensor network (USN) and refers to collecting and providing information detected from various sensors such as temperature, acceleration, location information, pressure, fingerprint, and gas sensor.

The sensor network includes a sensor field composed of a sensor node and a set of sensor nodes configured with a sensor and a communication module that detects recognition information about an object or surrounding environment information in real time, and a sink node receiving information collected from the sensor field; The gateway may be configured to route information transmitted from the sink node and transmit the information to the management server through the broadband communication network. The dual sensor node is a device that measures and provides sensing data transmitted from the sensor.

Such sensor nodes are generally installed on the ground for smooth wireless communication with the sensors, and the sensors and the sensor nodes transmit and receive the sensed data using different communication methods according to the sensing targets. For example, sensors for detecting information such as temperature, humidity, and air components are mainly installed on the ground, and are transmitted to the sensor node using a predetermined frequency band to prevent communication noise between each other.
