1 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a UE according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to use the Internet of Things (IoT) service that users subscribe to in your home, you need to be able to communicate with each other. The objects in the house do not communicate with each other but the objects to be controlled in the home can be realized by communicating objects to be controlled corresponding to the objects in the house. For example, the controlled object may include a switch corresponding to the light, a door lock corresponding to the front door, or an open sensor corresponding to the window. Registration of the object to be controlled may be necessary in order to realize the Internet service of the object in the house.

The terminal can perform a wireless network device scanning operation and display the result of the operation on the display of the terminal. The terminal may establish a wireless connection (e.g., Wi-Fi) with the wireless network equipment to register the controlled object. The wireless network equipment may be, for example, an access point. A password can be input for wireless connection, and the user of the terminal can be authenticated based on the inputted password.

Based on the wireless connection between the terminal and the wireless network equipment, the terminal can search for the hub. Based on the wireless connection, a button for searching for the hub can be displayed on the display, and the terminal can detect the input for the button and search for the hub. A hub is a physical device that is coupled to an interface of a wireless networking device and may support wireless communication (e.g., Z-Wave) between the controlled object and the wireless networking device. For example, the hub may be a dongle connected to the USB port of the wireless network equipment.

If there is an input for a button for searching for a hub, the terminal can notify the wireless network equipment that it is searching for the hub. The wireless network equipment may transmit the wireless network equipment information (e.g., the serial number of the wireless network equipment and / or the MAC address of the wireless network equipment) and the hub information (e.g., the serial number of the hub) to the terminal.

The terminal can request the subscription device list from the server by using the account information of the Internet service of the subscriber and the information of the wireless network equipment. The server, in response to the request, may provide a subscription device list corresponding to account information and information of the wireless network equipment.

The terminal can confirm whether or not the subscription device list corresponds to the hub information. For example, the terminal can check whether the subscription device list and the hub information match. If the subscription device list corresponds to the hub information, the terminal can output a message indicating that the hub connection is completed. Through the search process of the hub, the terminal can confirm that the hub is properly connected to the wireless network equipment.

The terminal exposes the control object list to the display of the terminal (110).

In one embodiment, the list of controlled objects may be included in the subscription device list. The terminal can expose the control object list received from the server to the display.

The control object list may include identification information of a plurality of control object objects. The identification information may include, for example, a category, a model name, a serial number, and the like of each of the plurality of control object objects. The category indicates the kind of the object to be controlled, and may include, for example, a switch, an outlet, an open sensor, a power meter, a gas lock, a door lock, and the like. Also, the control object list may include information on the number of objects to be controlled. For example, the controlled object list may include information about how many objects to be controlled are in the switch and how many objects are to be controlled in the outlet.

The terminal can sense the user's selection input for the identification information included in the controlled object list.

The terminal displays a triggering button 120 for pairing the control object located in the physical space based on the selection input to the control object list (120). A triggering button for pairing between the control object and the wireless network equipment corresponding to the identification information selected in the control target object list may be displayed. If there is a user input for the triggering button, the terminal may send information to the wireless network equipment indicating that there was a user input on the triggering button. That is, the terminal can transmit the triggering button input information to the wireless network equipment. The wireless network equipment can change its operating state by using the information received from the terminal. For example, using the information received from the wireless network equipment, the operation state can be changed to a state capable of being paired with the control object. Alternatively, when the triggering button input information is transmitted to the wireless network equipment, the operating state of the hub connected to the wireless network equipment may be changed to a pairable state. The wireless network equipment or hub may be paired with the controlled object.

When the controlled object supports the first pairing method, the terminal may output a message instructing to apply the input to the physical button of the controlled object based on the input to the triggering button. At this time, the wireless network equipment and / or the hub may change the operation state to a state ready for pairing. Hereinafter, it will be described that the hub and the control target device are paired according to the first pairing method, but this is an exemplary explanation only. In one embodiment, the hub can be paired with the wireless network equipment according to the first pairing method. The hub and the control object may be paired according to the first pairing scheme based on the input to the physical button of the control object. The first pairing scheme is capable of two-way wireless communication and may be low power. The first pairing scheme may be, for example, a Z-wave. A hub connected to the wireless network equipment may support Z-wave, and the hub and the controlled object may be paired via the Z-wave based on the input to the physical button of the controlled object. In one embodiment, when there is an input to a physical button of a controlled object for a predetermined time (e.g., for 5 seconds), the hub and the controlled object may be paired according to a first pairing scheme. When the control object is paired according to the first pairing scheme, a message indicating that the control object is paired can be output. For example, a visual message may be output on the display of the terminal. Also, the LED of the controlled object may blink. Also, an audible message such as a beep can be output from the terminal and / or the controlled object. The example of the first pairing method described above is only an example, and the first pairing method is not limited to the example described above.

When the control object supports the second pairing scheme, the terminal can search for the control object based on the selection input to the control object list. The second pairing scheme may be Wi-Fi, for example. The terminal can request an Internet connection to the searched control object. The control object includes a communication interface supporting a second pairing scheme, and can be paired with a wireless network equipment according to a second pairing scheme, and can be connected to the Internet. The example of the second pairing method described above is only an example, and the second pairing method is not limited to the example described above.

The terminal registers the control object on the basis of the pairing of the control object (130). The terminal can generate registration information based on at least one of a selection input to the control target object list and information on a physical space in which the control target object is located. For example, the registration information may include identification information of the controlled object and / or information on the physical space. Based on the selection input to the controlled object list, the terminal can generate the identification information of the controlled object. Since the control target object list includes the category of the control target object, the identification information can include the category of the control target object. For example, if the user selects a switch in the list of controlled objects, the registration information may include a switch.

The terminal can receive information on the physical space in which the control object is located. For example, when the control object is paired, the terminal may display a first user interface on the display for receiving information of a physical space in which the control object is located. The terminal can receive information on where the paired control object is located in the house through the first user interface. For example, the paired controlled object may be located in a house, a living room, a toilet, a veranda, or the like, and the user may input that the paired controlled object is located in the living room. The terminal can receive the identification information corresponding to the physical space in which the paired controlled object is located. Also, the terminal may receive additional identification information of the control object through the first user interface. That is, the user can set the name of the control object through the first user interface. For example, the user can set the name of the switch in the living room to "central fluorescent light", the name of the switch in the bathroom to be "bathroom light", the name of the open sensor located on the veranda window " "

In one embodiment, the registration information may include a category of the object to be controlled, identification information corresponding to the physical space, and / or additional identification information of the control object set by the user.

The terminal can display a second user interface including the operation state information of the registered control object on the display of the terminal. For example, in the case of a switch, operational status information about whether the switch is open or closed may be displayed. The user can confirm whether the light corresponding to the switch is turned on or off through the operation state information of the switch. In the case of a gas lock, operational status information on whether the gas lock is open or closed can be displayed.

The terminal can visually display the map on the display based on the map information including the correspondence information between the object to be controlled and the physical space. When the control target object is registered, the physical space in which the control target object is located can be confirmed. Also, when the control object is registered, the terminal and / or the server can generate correspondence information between the control object and the physical space. Further, the terminal and / or the server can generate the map information using the corresponding information. When the server generates map information, the terminal may request the server to provide map information, and the server may provide map information to the terminal.

The terminal can create a map using map information. For example, the terminal can know that a switch is located in the living room, a switch is located in the toilet, and an open sensor is located in the verandan, through the corresponding information, and the map can be created using the corresponding information. The map may include an area corresponding to the physical space. The area corresponding to the physical space can be partitioned and displayed. For example, an area corresponding to a physical space such as a living room, a living room, or a veranda in a house can be divided and displayed. Also, the displayed map may include an identifier corresponding to the controlled object. For example, when the controlled object is a switch, a lamp image may be displayed in an area corresponding to the physical space, and when the controlled object is a gas lock, a gas lock image may be displayed in an area corresponding to the physical space have.

The terminal can display the created map on the display. The user can check the operation status information of the control object through the displayed map. If there is an input for the identifier, the terminal can display the operation state information of the object to be controlled. For example, if there is an input for a gas lock image, the terminal can display operational status information about whether the gas lock is open or closed.

In the screen 310, the navigator 311 indicates a hub connection state. An image connecting the hub to the wireless network equipment may be displayed in area 312. If there is an input to the hub connect button 313, the application may display the screen 320. [

When there is an input to the hub connection button 313, the application can control the terminal to search for the hub. In the area 321, an image or a flash being searched for the hub may be displayed. For example, the terminal may notify the wireless network equipment that the hub is being searched. The wireless network equipment may transmit the wireless network equipment information (e.g., the serial number of the wireless network equipment and / or the MAC address of the wireless network equipment) and the hub information (e.g., the serial number of the hub) to the terminal. The terminal can request the subscription device list to the server using the account information of the subscription service of the user of the terminal and the wireless network equipment information. In response to the request, the server may provide a subscription device list corresponding to the account information and the wireless network equipment information. The terminal can confirm whether or not the subscription device list corresponds to the hub information.

If the hub information does not correspond to the subscription device list, the application may display the screen 330.

Since the matters described in FIG. 1 can be applied to the matters described in FIGS. 3A to 3B, a detailed description will be omitted.

4A to 4D are views for explaining an example of registration of a control object according to an embodiment.

In the screen 410, the navigator 411 indicates the device registration state. On the screen 410, a control object list is displayed. The control object list may include identification information of a plurality of control object objects. The identification information may include, for example, a category, a model name, and a serial number of each of the plurality of control object objects. Further, the identification information may include an icon indicating a category of the controlled object or the controlled object. The circle icon may represent a switch, the rhombus icon may represent an outlet, and the square icon may represent an open sensor. Categories may include, for example, switches, outlets, open sensors, and the like. Also, the control object list may include the number of objects to be controlled belonging to the category. For example, the controlled object list may include information on how many control objects belong to the category of the switch, and how many control objects belong to the category of the outlet.

A triggering button for pairing the control target object located in the physical space is displayed based on the selection input for the control target object list. For example, if there is a selection input for the switch 412, the screen 413 displays a triggering button 414 for pairing of the switches. When the user selects any one piece of identification information from the controlled object list, the application may display a triggering button for pairing the control object corresponding to the selected identification information.

The user can apply an input to the triggering button 414 for pairing between the control object and the hub located in a specific physical space. The hub may include a dongle electrically connected to the wireless network equipment. Since the hub has been described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted here. In response to an input to the triggering button 414, the application may display a screen 415 on the display. The terminal may transmit information indicating that the triggering button 414 has been input to the wireless network equipment. The hub connected to the wireless network equipment can change the operation state to a state ready to be paired using the received information.

The application may output a message to the physical button of the controlled object to input an input (e.g., physical stimulus) for a predetermined time. In one embodiment, when the controlled object supports the first pairing scheme, an image representing the location of the physical button in the controlled object and an image to which the input is applied to the physical button may be displayed in region 416. The first pairing scheme may be a Z-wave.
