1 shows a schematic configuration of an E-GIS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an E-GIS (Environmental Geographic Information System) 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a space modeler 110, a CIM (City Information Modeling) modeler 120, and a mapping module 130. do. The E-GIS 100 may further include a simulation module 140 and / or an E-GIS DB 150.

Each configuration of the E-GIS 100 shown in FIG. 1 is represented as being functionally and logically separated, and does not necessarily mean that each configuration is divided into separate physical devices or written in separate codes. The average expert in the art of the present invention will be able to reason easily.

In addition, the term "module" in the present specification may mean a functional and structural combination of hardware for performing the technical idea of the present invention and software for driving the hardware. For example, the module may mean a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for performing the predetermined code, and means a code that is not necessarily physically connected or does not mean a kind of hardware. It can be easily inferred by the average expert in the art.

In addition, the term "DB" in the present specification may mean a functional structural combination of software and hardware that stores information corresponding to each DB. The DB may be implemented with at least one table, and may further include a separate DBMS (Database Management System) for searching, storing, and managing information stored in the DB. In addition, it can be implemented in various ways such as a linked-list, a tree, and a relational DB, and includes all data storage media and data structures capable of storing information corresponding to the DB.

The E-GIS 100 may be installed in a predetermined data processing apparatus to implement the technical idea of the present invention.

The space modeler 110 may generate or receive geospatial information, that is, geographic information system (GIS) information of a specific region, for example, urban space, in which energy is to be managed, according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, the space modeler 110 may author GIS information of a specific region by itself, and may receive GIS information authored by a separate GIS modeler (not shown) instead of the space modeler 110.

The space modeler 110 may generate GIS information by matching altitude information data (DEM), shape information, and satellite image texture (GeoTiff) to author (create) the GIS information. Can be. The generated GIS information may be modified through a predetermined user interface (UI) provided by the space modeler 110.

The GIS information may include various objects such as terrain, buildings, facilities, trees, and the like. However, since the GIS information is not divided into spaces for each energy consumption unit (for example, each house number), even if applied to an energy monitoring and control system such as the E-GIS 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the unit space There is a disadvantage that can not monitor the energy consumption. Therefore, according to the E-GIS 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a technical idea of expressing a unit space for each energy consumption unit by using the GIS information.

Such functionality may be provided by the CIM modeler 120.

The CIM modeler 120 receives the geospatial information, that is, GIS information, generated by the space modeler 110 or input from the outside through the space modeler 110, and included in the received geospatial information. Any one object (eg, urban facility or building) can be modeled to include space for each energy consumption unit. In addition, the CIM modeler 120 may receive modeling information of any one object selected from a user from the outside. When receiving modeling information of a specific object from the outside, the CIM modeler 120 may perform only a function of replacing the received modeling information with the object on the geospatial information. Therefore, hereinafter, the case where the CIM modeler 120 models the object will be described.

The modeled object may be replaced with an object on the geospatial information. For example, the geospatial information may include an object representing a specific building. In the geospatial information, only the location and form of the building itself is represented. Therefore, the unit space of the building (eg, for each office or apartment generation) may not be represented. Therefore, the CIM modeler 120 may model the building to represent the unit space.

The CIM modeler 120 classifies the object on the geospatial information so as to correspond to energy monitoring information (for example, energy consumption data) input from a Ubiqutous Sensor Network (USN). For example, the energy monitoring information may be information input through an energy sensor installed in each unit space of an actual building, and thus each unit space may be configured to accommodate the energy monitoring information. Can be modeled to represent.

In addition, the CIM modeler 120 may insert a new facility object into the geospatial information. For example, the facility object may mean an object that consumes energy, such as a street light or a traffic light that is not represented on the geospatial information. The CIM modeler 120 may store a predetermined template object representing a facility object in order to easily insert the facility object on the geospatial information, and a template selected by the user among the stored template objects. The object may be inserted at a predetermined position. In general, since facilities such as street lights are installed at regular intervals in the urban space, the CIM modeler 120 may provide a UI for inserting a plurality of facility objects at regular intervals.

The modeled object may be replaced with the object that does not represent the existing unit space and the geospatial information, and a new facility object may also be inserted into the geospatial information.

Second geospatial information may be referred to as geospatial information that can be replaced with the modeled object or a new facility object is inserted to accommodate energy monitoring information input from the USN 200. Then, the mapping module 130 may map the second geospatial information and the energy monitoring information. According to an implementation example, the mapping module 130 may be included in the CIM modeler 120 and implemented.

For example, an actual building or a facility is attached to a predetermined sensor for each unit space, which is an energy consumption unit, and senses energy monitoring information (eg, energy consumption) and outputs it to the E-GIS 100 through the USN 200. can do. Negative energy consumption may mean actually producing energy. In this case, each sensor of each unit space may have unique identification information (or ID). Accordingly, the mapping module 130 may map the energy consumption information of the energy consumption object and the energy consumption object on the second geospatial information by mapping the unique identification information of the sensor for each unit space of the building or facility. As a result, various simulations are possible.

As such, the geospatial information of the result of the mapping of the second geospatial information and the energy monitoring information may be referred to as urban space information 10. The city space information 10 may be stored in the E-GIS DB 150. The urban space information 10 may be generated and stored in a keyhole mark-up language (KML), which is a file format compliant with international standards, so that the E-GIS 100 may provide the city space information through a predetermined input / output function. (10) can be input and output. Therefore, since the E-GIS 100 can increase the linkage with other systems by using the city space information 10, there is an effect that can be utilized for various energy-based applications.

The simulation module 140 may display or simulate energy monitoring information of the specific region corresponding to the geospatial information by visualizing in various ways. For example, the simulation module 140 may visualize the energy consumption of the specific region in real time.

In addition, the simulation module 140 may perform various simulations using predetermined external data 300, and may generate meaningful data through this.

2 is a view visually showing the function of the E-GIS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, the space modeler 110 may author or receive geospatial information 20 from the outside. Then, the CIM modeler 120 may generate the second geospatial information 30 based on the geospatial information. When the second geospatial information 30 is mapped to the energy monitoring information received through the USN 200, the city space information 10 may be generated. Then, the simulation module 140 may generate the simulation data 40 by simulating the real-time energy consumption of a specific region. According to the technical idea of the present invention, the real-time energy consumption amount can be simulated for each energy consumption unit present in the geospatial information, thereby enabling accurate energy consumption and management for each unit space. In addition, according to an embodiment, simulation may be performed for each combination of predetermined unit spaces (for example, a floor of a building) according to the characteristics of the unit space, or may be simulated for each object on the geospatial information 20. Alternatively, it may be possible to simulate the regional energy consumption of the plurality of objects.

In addition, various simulations or externally generated data may be newly generated using the external data 300. For example, energy consumption data for each unit space may be accumulated and stored in the E-GIS DB 150, and energy consumption prediction data for each unit space may be generated by a statistical method based on the stored information. Alternatively, any of the objects in the second geospatial information may be energy production instead of energy consumption, and an object that produces energy may also be treated as an object that consumes energy negatively and predict energy production in a similar manner. You can also generate data. In addition, by inputting the energy production control data from the outside, it is also possible to simulate the relationship between the amount of energy to be produced according to the production control data, the object for producing energy on the second geospatial information. Alternatively, it is possible to simulate the relationship between the energy consumption of the energy consumption object according to weather and climate data input from the outside. These various simulation results can generate new external data (eg, energy production forecasting data, energy consumption forecasting data, production control data, etc.), which enables efficient local energy management.

3 to 7 are diagrams for explaining a process in which an object on geospatial information is modeled and replaced on geospatial information through a CIM modeler of an E-GIS according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 3, the geospatial information generated or received by the space modeler 110 includes a plurality of objects (eg, buildings, facilities, etc.) as shown in FIG. 3. However, the predetermined object 400 included in the geospatial information, which is GIS information, does not express a unit space (for example, major), which is an energy consumption unit included in the object, so that energy monitoring or management may be performed for each unit space. none.

Accordingly, the user may select the object 400 and model the object 400 to represent a unit space.

To this end, the CIM modeler 120 may model all spatial information of the object 400 directly to a user, such as a building information modeling (BIM) modeler. However, in the E-GIS 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the object 400 needs to be modeled only to represent the unit space, the CIM modeler 120 is based on predetermined template information and parameters. By doing so, the object 400 may be simply modeled.

To this end, the CIM modeler 120 displays a type of information (eg, stacked box-shaped buildings, straight buildings, curved buildings, etc.) through a predetermined UI so that a user can select the type of the selected object 400. A template may be provided to the user, and the user may select type information that may indicate the type of the object 400 from the type information. If there is no type information corresponding to the object 400, the user may model the type of the object 400 directly.

In particular, the CIM modeler 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention may automatically select the type information of the object 400 by using shape information included in the geospatial information. Because the geospatial information is implemented as GIS information, and the GIS information includes shape information indicating the shape information of the terrain or the building as described above, the type of the object 400 selected by the user based on the shape information. You can also select the information automatically.

When the type information of the object 400 is selected, an object 410 having a type as shown in FIG. 4 is modeled. Then, the CIM modeler 120 may model a volume of the object 410 modeled with the type information selected through the predetermined UI 121. Modeling the volume may mean modeling a parameter related to at least one of the height of the object 410, the length of a surface, or the number of floors, that is, the volume of the building. When a predetermined parameter is input through the UI 121 as described above, each layer, height and area of each layer may be set in the object 410 as shown in FIG. 4.

The object in which the volume is modeled 410 may be finally divided by unit space. When there is specific information such as the location and area of each unit space of the object 410, the CIM modeler 120 may allow the user to model the object 410 directly by unit space.

In addition, the CIM modeler 120 may classify the object 410 by unit space by modeling a unit space related object of the object 410 through a predetermined UI. Herein, the unit space related configuration of the object 410 represents a unit space configured inside the object 410 or includes all components of the object 410 related to the configuration of the unit space. Can be used. For example, the structure of the internal space of the building and a part of the building may include a facade or a window. As such, the object 410 may be divided into unit spaces by modeling unit space-related configurations. On the premise that the object may be divided into unit spaces by the unit space-related configuration, the E-GIS 100 is a unit space. This distinction is sufficient, and the detailed location or area of the unit space is not important. If the unit space is not distinguished by the unit space-related configuration, for example, when there is a unit space without a window or when the external facade shape and the internal configuration are different, the user may directly model the object through the CIM modeler 120. 410 may be classified by unit space. For example, when the unit space of the object is divided by one window, the energy monitoring information may be mapped to correspond to each window. When the plurality of windows correspond to one unit space, the plurality of windows may be one energy. It may be mapped to monitoring information (or energy sensor).

As such, the CIM modeler 120 can easily model the unit space-related configuration through a predetermined UI and / or parameters, so that the object 410 can be divided into unit spaces. Likewise, the texture of the facade may be selected through the UI 122, or the type of the facade may be selected through the UI 123. In addition, the type, number, or spacing of windows of the object 410 may be easily designated through a predetermined UI (not shown), and may be modeled on the object 410. Then, the object 420 as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 may be generated, and the generated object may be replaced with the object 400 illustrated in FIG. 3. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the object 430 substituted on the geospatial information may be represented.

Meanwhile, the CIM modeler 120 may attach a predetermined mark or icon on the geospatial information to further provide useful information to the user.

8 is a view for explaining a method of providing additional energy-related information using POI in an E-GIS according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, a user may attach a predetermined point of interest (POI) icon 50 to one object on geospatial information through the CIM modeler 120. The POI icon 50 is energy related information (eg, real-time energy consumption information and cumulative usage amount of the object received from the USN 200) to be provided to the user by the E-GIS 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Serves as a predetermined UI for requesting information). The POI icon 50 may be attached to an object or a combination of objects that may be of interest to the user.

When the POI icon 50 is selected, the user may set predetermined energy related information to be provided to the user through various UIs as shown in FIG. 8, and the set energy related information may be set by the POI icon 50. When selected by the user may be displayed through the definition UI (60).

E-GIS providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented as computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored.

It also includes implementations. The computer readable recording medium may also be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner.
