BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the attached drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein but may be embodied in other forms. Rather, the embodiments disclosed herein are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art, without intention other than to provide an understanding of the present invention.

In this specification, when it is mentioned that some element or lines are connected to a target element block, it also includes a direct connection as well as a meaning indirectly connected to the target element block via some other element.

In addition, the same or similar reference numerals shown in the drawings denote the same or similar components as possible. In some drawings, the connection relationship of elements and lines is shown for an effective explanation of the technical contents, and other elements or circuit blocks may be further provided.

Each embodiment described and exemplified herein may also include its complementary embodiment, and details regarding the specific configuration or function of the Bluetooth device (or Bluetooth module) or smartphone may be used in detail to avoid obscuring the gist of the present invention. It will not be explained.

1 is a block diagram of a common entrance access system including an apparatus for accessing a common entrance according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the common entrance access system includes a common entrance entrance device. The common entrance / exit device includes an entrance direction recognizing device 260 and a common entrance terminal 150-1.

The common entrance access system may only include an entrance beacon 250. The common entrance access system may be connected to the web server 300, the integrated reception controller 400, and the elevator server 500.

Access to the common entrance from the common entrance access device can be made by use of the smart phones 10-1 to 10-n in the smartphone group 10. [ Also, entrance and exit of the common porch in the common entrance access device can also be performed by use of the portable keys 20-1 to 20-n serving as pass keys in the portable key group 20. As a result, the smart phones 10-1 to 10-n or the portable keys 20-1 to 20-n (hereinafter referred to as pass keys) serve as keys for accessing the common entrance.

The entrance direction recognizing device 260 is located a certain distance from the common entrance terminal 150-1. The common entrance is a gateway that must pass when a user rides an elevator or uses a stairway to enter the household. The common entrance is usually provided on the ground, but can also be provided in the basement with parking.

The entrance direction recognizing device 260 can transmit the first short range wireless communication signal to the user terminal, e.g., the smart phone (e.g., 10-1) through the line L1, so as to be applied to the entrance direction recognition. Here, the line L1 may be a wireless communication line and indicates a kind of communication channel. The entrance / exit direction recognizing device 260 serves as a short-range wireless communication device for recognizing entrance / exit direction.

The common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) can be installed closer to the common entrance as compared with the entrance direction recognizing device 260. [ The common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) can transmit the second short distance wireless communication signal to the smartphone 10-1 via the line L3. The common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) can receive introductory authentication request information from the smartphone 10-1 via the line L4. The common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) accesses the user of the smartphone 10-1 when the introductory authentication request information is received. The access authentication can be performed by the common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) itself or by the home network server connected to the general reception controller 400 or the general reception controller 400. The access authentication is determined as successful when the ID information of the household members included in the introductory authentication request information matches the ID information of the household members previously registered for the household.

The common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) allows the door opening operation of the common entrance to be performed when the entrance authentication is recognized as successful. The door opening operation is performed by a door lock mechanism and the door lock mechanism can open the door (door) of the common entrance when the access authentication is successful. The common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) can cause the elevator call to be performed when it recognizes that the access authentication is successful. The elevator call can be accomplished by the general reception controller 400 connected to the common entrance terminal 150-1 communicating with the elevator server 500.

The smartphone 10-1 as a user terminal has an application program (hereinafter referred to as an " app ") related to entrance and exit operation of the common entrance. The app may be provided from the web server 300. The smartphone 10-1 can determine whether or not the first short range wireless communication signal has not yet been received within the set time interval upon receiving the second short range wireless communication signal. That is, the reception relationship of the first and second short range wireless communication signals can be determined by execution of the application. When the second short range wireless communication signal is received before the first short range wireless communication signal, the smartphone 10-1 transmits the introductory authentication request information to the common entrance terminal 150-1 through the line L4 Lt; / RTI >

The smartphone 10-1 may be a smart phone equipped with a beacon device which is a short range wireless communication device based on a Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) protocol.

The smartphone 10-1 may switch the operation mode from the active mode to the power saving mode when the first and second short range wireless communication signals are not received for a predetermined time or more.

The first and second short range wireless communication signals may be beacon signals, although not limited to the present invention. The beacon device for transmitting the beacon signal is a Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) protocol based short range wireless communication device. The beacon signal may be provided to the receiving devices located within a maximum of 70 meters from the beacon device. The beacon signal enables the position to be distinguished in units of 5 to 10 cm. The beacon device consumes less power. Therefore, the beacon device is also suitable for the Internet (IoT) implementation. The beacon device is a communication device that revives Bluetooth technology in the age of IoT.

Initially, Bluetooth technology was spotlighted in the early days of the introduction of smartphones, thanks to its ability to provide near-file sharing. However, Bluetooth technology has become a technology that is disappearing due to the widespread use of Wi-Fi networks and 3G (3G) and LTE (4G mobile) rates. The Bluetooth technology that has been attracting attention again is due to the need for fixed location based LAN technology, unlike LTE.

Tag-based NFC (Near Field Communication), which is applied to distances of less than 10 cm, was spotlighted by the technology that will lead the IoT era. However, as users turned away from the NFC, the beacon was getting attention again. Beacons have a longer usable distance than NFC. Providing indoor location information, which was impossible with GPS technology, is also a merit of beacon.

The smartphone (Example 10-1) can communicate with the common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) through various local communications. The local area communication may be a wireless local area network (WLAN) or a wireless personal area network (WPAN). The WLAN may be a general wireless LAN and the WPAN may be Bluetooth, ZigBee, UWB, millimeter wave communication, or Z-wave communication.

 A short-range wireless communication technology using a Bluetooth 4.0-based protocol is a beacon technology. Beacon technology based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) is generally called beacon since Apple's beacon technology iBeacon was announced. In case of beacon technology, it is possible to operate by a small amount of packet transmission, and pairing that connects the two devices is unnecessary. Also, because of low power communication, beacon technology can recognize the location at low cost compared to other short range wireless communication technologies.

Meanwhile, the transmission frequency band of the UWB is more than several GHz. Ultra-wideband communication (UWB) guarantees speeds of at least 100Mbps ~ 1Gbps compared to 30Mbps ~ 50Mbps wireless LAN. UWB is rated as a technology suitable for transmitting HDTV video because it can transmit 100Mbps data more reliably than WLAN, and power consumption is one tenth of that of WLAN. On the other hand, the reach is about 10m. Although UWB is applied to communication and radar of early military use, it is attracting attention as a main technology of wireless home network as the demand for transmission of large-capacity multimedia contents produced by home entertainment devices increases.

In addition, since the millimeter-wave communication has a data transmission capability of 10 times or more as compared with the conventional short-range wireless communication technology, WLAN or UWB, it is possible to instantaneously transmit super high definition (full HD) The 60GHz band ultra high-speed wireless transmission technology standard uses a wide band ranging from 57GHz to 66GHz of the worldwide millimeter wave band of less than 3.5GHz and a total of 7 to 9GHz. This communication technology is short-distance wireless communication that enables ultra high-speed video transmission at Gbps. According to millimeter-wave communications, a two-hour movie (about 650Mb) stored on a smartphone can be transferred to another person's mobile phone within 10m in just one second, enabling high-quality video streaming without transmission delay or deterioration in image quality. The ISO / IEC 13156 standard classifies into three types of specifications: minimum power consumption, streaming service specification, communication distance, and maximum data transmission rate. It enables the optimum design of the device.

The Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol. Z-Wave is a technology that competes with ZigBee. Z-Wave was developed by the Danish company Zensys. Z-Wave is being standardized by the Z-Wave Alliance. Z-Wave, along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, is emerging as the technology of home IoT. Z-Wave uses the 900MHz communication band. Z-Wave uses a relatively low-frequency communication signal, so it has a longer reach than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Z-Wave consumes less than 100mW, so power consumption is less than Wi-Fi.

The Z-Wave protocol is a low-bandwidth, half-duplex protocol. The main purpose of this protocol is to convey short control messages from one control unit to one or several nodes in the same network. The Z-Wave protocol consists of four layers. The four layers are composed of an application layer, a routing layer, a transfer layer, and a MAC layer. The application layer is a layer that controls the loading of transmitted or received frames, and is a layer that controls the routing of frames in a routing layer network. The transfer layer is a layer that controls receiving and sending frames, and the MAC layer is a layer that controls RF media. A Z-Wave communication module for Z-Wave communication may be installed in an embodiment of the present invention.

Meanwhile, the web server 300 may be selectively installed for smooth operation of the system. The web server 300 can communicate with the smartphone 10-1 using a wireless communication network such as 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi. The web server 300 may provide a courier notification and / or announcement notification of the apartment complex to the smartphone 10-1 upon receiving the introductory authentication request information.

The Bluetooth module 22 may be implemented, for example, as "HBT2X3N ".

When the Bluetooth module 22 transmits a beacon signal containing the ID of the household user, the common entrance terminal 150-1 and the entrance direction recognizing device 260 transmit the transmitted beacon signal within the reach distance of the beacon signal .

The Bluetooth module 22 is connected to the MCU 21 via a line L10 capable of performing UART communication.

The MCU 21 can receive the sensing signal generated from the vibration sensor 23 through the I / O line L20. The vibration sensor 23 can generate a sensing signal when it is carried and moved. The MCU 21 may control the Bluetooth module 22 to be activated in response to the detection signal. The Bluetooth module 22 is disabled in the inactive state and can transmit the short-range wireless communication signal in the active state.

The MCU 21 can receive the button input provided from the button input unit 25 through the I / O line L30.

The button input unit 25 may include function keys or numeric keys. The keys provided in the button input unit 25 may be for on / off, set, reset, ID registration, or transmission signal control of the passkey 20-1.

3 is an exemplary configuration block diagram of a common entrance terminal in Fig.

3, the common entrance terminal (Example 150-1) may include a Bluetooth module 151, an MCU 152, a memory 153, a communication unit 154, and a relay control unit 155.

The Bluetooth module 151 may transmit a short-range wireless communication signal (hereinafter referred to as a beacon signal for convenience) to the smartphone 10-1 through the line L3 of FIG. The Bluetooth module 151 may receive a short range wireless communication signal (hereinafter referred to as a beacon signal for convenience) from the smartphone 10-1 via a line L4 in FIG. The lines L3 and L4 may be wireless communication lines (or wireless communication channels). Communication between the smartphone 10-1 and the Bluetooth module 151 may be unidirectional or bidirectional.

The Bluetooth module 151 may support Bluetooth 4.0 that communicates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. The Bluetooth module 151 may perform unidirectional or bidirectional communication. The Bluetooth module 151 may further include an acceleration sensor or a temperature sensor. The Bluetooth module 151 may be implemented, for example, as "HBT2X3N ".

When the Bluetooth module 151 transmits a beacon signal containing the ID of the common entrance terminal 150-1, the smartphone (Example 10-1) can receive the transmitted beacon signal within the reach distance of the beacon signal have.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, an operating system of Android 4.3 or higher may be installed in the smartphone 10-1. In addition, the Bluetooth device in the smartphone 10-1 is in an activated state. Also, a service application (or an app) having a beacon SDK is installed in the smartphone 10-1. Accordingly, when the smartphone 10-1 serves as a master, the Bluetooth module 151 of FIG. 3 can serve as a slave. Conversely, when the smartphone 10-1 serves as a slave, the Bluetooth module 151 of FIG. 3 can serve as a master. The Bluetooth module 151 may serve as a beacon device.

The Bluetooth module 151 is connected to the MCU 120 via a line L11. The line L11 may be a UART communication line. The MCU 120 may be connected to the memory 153 and the communication unit 154 via a line L21. The line L21 may be a communication bus. The memory 153 may store programs and data necessary for the control operation of the MCU 120. [ The memory 153 may be a flash memory.

Although in the embodiment of the present invention, the Bluetooth module 151 is illustratively illustrated and shown, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, other wireless communication devices (e.g., NFC, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Z-Wave, etc.) may be used instead of the Bluetooth module.

The communication unit 154 may be connected to the general reception controller 400 of FIG. The communication unit 154 can perform data communication with the general reception controller 400 through TCP / IP communication. The communication unit 154 may be implemented using "W3150A + ".

The MCU 120 may apply the door open signal to the relay control unit 155 through the I / O line L31 when the introductory authentication is successful. The relay control unit 155 may cause the door of the common porch to be opened by driving the relay. The door lock mechanism performs door opening and door closing operations of the common porch by driving the relay.

4 is a timing chart of communication signal reception of the smartphone shown in Fig.

Referring to FIG. 4, a section a indicates a section capable of receiving a signal of the Bluetooth module of the smartphone (Example 10-1), and a section b indicates an off section of the Bluetooth module of the smartphone. In the OFF period of the Bluetooth module, the Bluetooth module of the smartphone is inactivated and does not receive the beacon signal. The interval d represents the transmission interval of the beacon signal, and the interval e represents the transmission interval of the beacon signal. Thus, ㉠ indicates that reception of a beacon signal is valid, and ㉡ indicates that reception of a beacon signal is invalid.

Waveform (1) shows the operation timing of the Bluetooth reception period of the smartphone. Waveform (2) shows a case where a beacon signal is received in the middle of the reception section a. Waveform (3) shows a case where a beacon signal is received at the end of a reception interval. Waveform (4) shows a case where a beacon signal is received at the beginning of a reception section, and waveform (5) shows a case where a beacon signal is received at a start time of a reception section.

In waveforms 2, 3, and 4, the beacon signal is effectively provided to the smartphone. On the other hand, in the case of the waveform 5, the beacon signal received at the end of the reception interval can be treated as valid. These can be implemented by programmatic settings. The operation according to the signal reception timing in Fig. 4 provides a reduction in battery power of the smartphone.

5 is a flowchart of a common entrance access control using a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in operation S510, the smartphone may perform switching of the operation mode only upon receipt of the beacon signal at the entrance. The operation mode may be divided into first, second, and third modes, for example. In the first mode, the ON period of the Bluetooth module in the smartphone is shorter than that in the second mode. For example, the ON period of the first mode may be 1/10 second and the ON period of the second mode may be 1/5 second. Therefore, the power consumption of the first mode is smaller than that of the second mode. The third mode has a longer ON period of the Bluetooth module than the second mode. For example, the ON period of the third mode may be 1/2 second. Therefore, the power consumption of the third mode is larger than that of the second mode. Although the operation mode is divided into three modes, this is merely an embodiment, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In operation S520, the smartphone (e.g., 10-1 in FIG. 1) checks if a beacon signal is received from the common entrance terminal (e.g., 150-1 in FIG. 1). When the beacon signal is received from the common entrance terminal 150-1, the operation S530 is executed.

In operation S530, the smartphone 10-1 transmits the authentication request information when determining that the current direction is a direction (C101 in Fig. 7) toward the common porch. As will be described later, it is assumed that the common entrance terminal 150-1 and the entrance / exit direction recognizing device 260 are installed as shown in Fig. If the smartphone 10-1 receives the beacon signal of the common entrance terminal 150-1 prior to the beacon signal of the entrance direction recognizing device 260 in this installed state, the current direction is the direction toward the common porch And is recognized by the smartphone 10-1. When the smartphone 10-1 transmits the authentication request information, the common entrance terminal 150-1 receives the authentication request information. The authentication request information may be determined as success or failure by any one of the common entrance terminal 150-1, the web server 300, and the general reception controller 400. [

In operation S540, when the authentication is successful, the door open of the common porch is performed. At this time, the general reception controller 400 may perform elevator call signal generation and processing to provide a convenience to the user of the smartphone 10-1. Accordingly, the elevator server 500 drives the elevator so that the elevator reaches the elevator gate of the common entrance.

In operation S550, the smartphone 10-1 checks whether a beacon signal is received from the entrance direction recognizing device 600. [

In operation S560, when the beacon signal of the entrance direction recognizing device 600 is received, the smartphone 10-1 determines that the user goes out. In this case, there is no authentication process for opening the door and door opening is performed by separate infrared or ultrasonic sensing. Therefore, the user can go outside the common porch when going out. In this case, a door open request signal is transmitted by the user's body.

In operation S570, the smartphone 10-1 checks whether the beacon signal of the common entrance terminal 150-1 is received or not. When the beacon signal is not received, the check of the beacon signals and the transmission operation of the authentication request information are ended.

6 is a flowchart of a common entrance exit control using a passkey according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 6, in operation S502, the pass key, i.e., the portable key (e.g., 20-1 in Fig. 1), checks whether a vibration sensor or a tilt sensor input is received. When the sensor input is received, the portable key 20-1 is activated.

In operation S504, the portable key transmits the authentication request information requesting the opening of the door lock through the Bluetooth communication in the set time unit.

In operation S506, the common entrance terminal and / or the general reception controller checks the moving direction of the passenger. Access authentication for the user is performed based on the received authentication request information when it is determined that the user is home. When the authentication is successful, the door of the common entrance is opened.

In operation S508, the portable key senses whether the generation of the sensing signal is off.

In operation S509, the portable key stops transmitting the authentication request information.

The portable key may operate in a transmit-only mode or a receive-only mode and may operate in a dual mode that performs both transmit and receive.

Fig. 7 is an exemplary view showing an installation mode of the common entrance terminal and the entrance / exit direction recognition device in Fig. 1. Fig.

Referring to FIG. 7, a first direction C101 indicates a direction of a user's ears, and a second direction C102 indicates a direction of a user's outgoing direction. The common entrance terminal 150-1 is installed in the common entrance. The short-range communication range of the common entrance terminal 150-1 is indicated by the area Z150.

The entrance direction recognizing device 260 can be installed in the elevator hall where the elevator is located. The short-range communication range of the entrance / direction recognizing device 260 is indicated by an area Z260.

Therefore, access authentication is not performed when the outgoing person PP2 comes to the common porch. When the returning person PP1 comes toward the common porch (toward the first direction), the common entrance terminal 150-1 can perform access authentication. The elevator can be called for convenience of the user's return at the time of successful access authentication. The access authentication can be implemented by checking whether the user ID is registered based on the user's direction as described above.

In addition, courier notification information may be provided to the user's smartphone 10-1 in order to provide courier information, which is a kind of a welcome service, to the user at the time of successful access authentication. In addition, notification information of the apartment house can be provided to the user's smartphone 10-1 through the common entrance terminal 150-1.
