The command is a command for instructing a module of the robot 200 corresponding to the ID to perform an operation according to an address. When the module is 'write', the module executes the operation of the corresponding module. Lt; / RTI >

The error check code is a code for detecting an error generated when a packet is transmitted, and may be composed of various codes according to a known error check method such as a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check).

The controller 220 may generate the command packet including the header, the ID, the address, the command, the control value, the error check code, and the like, and the communication unit 210 may transmit the command packet to the smart device 100 .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the communication unit 210 transmits a command packet including a 'read' command to the smart device 100 and then determines whether the operation of the smart device 100 is performed from the smart device 100 A status packet including status information of the smart device 100 can be received. At this time, the controller 220 can generate a new command packet based on the status packet.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the communication unit 210 transmits an instruction packet including a 'read' or 'write' command to the smart device 100, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI >

The error information is information indicating whether or not an error has occurred in the command packet. It includes whether the operation is completed, whether the operation item is already set, whether the operation can be performed, whether an error occurs in the command packet, Whether or not the packet size is appropriate for the length of the control value, and whether or not the access method is suitable. In addition, it may include various information indicating whether there is an error in the command packet. The smart device 100 may include error information including various information indicating whether there is an error in the status packet in units of bytes, To the communication unit 210, as shown in FIG.

For example, the smart device 100 receiving the command packet from the communication unit 210 performs an operation of rotating the screen vertically determined by the '10000' address and the '1' control value included in the command packet , It is possible to transmit a status packet including the completion of the operation to the communication unit 210 after checking the error.

The smart device 100 checks whether an operation item specified in the '20000' address included in the command packet is already set using the control table (since an operation item specified in the '20000' address is not previously set, it is checked with an error) A state packet including whether or not the operation item designated in the address is set in advance may be transmitted to the communication unit 210.

The smart device 100 checks whether the operation of the magnetic field sensor can be performed (if the magnetic field sensor does not operate due to failure or breakage, it checks as an error) according to the operation item designated at the address '10010' included in the command packet , And transmits a status packet including whether or not the operation can be performed to the communication unit 210.

The smart device 100 checks the error detection code included in the command packet (checks if an error has occurred) in order to detect an error in transmitting the command packet, To the communication unit 210.

The smart device 100 confirms the minimum value and the maximum value set in the address' 10020 'included in the command packet using the control table (the minimum value set in the' 10020 'address is' 0' and the maximum value is' 1 ', if the control value is' 2', it is checked as an error), and then a status packet including the control value included in the command packet is included in the minimum value and the maximum value range may be transmitted to the communication unit 210 .

The smart device 100 confirms the length set in the address '10010' included in the command packet using the control table (since the length set in the '10010' address is 2 bytes, the length of the control value is 1 byte , And then transmits a status packet including whether the control value included in the command packet is appropriate to the length, to the communication unit 210. [

The smart device 100 confirms whether the access method set in the address '10010' included in the command packet is suitable (the access method set in the '10010' address is 'read' , And then transmits a status packet including whether or not the access method to the command included in the command packet is compliant to the communication unit 210. [

As described above, the communication unit 210 may transmit a command packet to the smart device 100, and then receive a status packet including error information on the command packet from the smart device 100. [ In this case, the smart device 100 may transmit a status packet to the communication unit 210 to inform that the reception of the command packet is completed before the operation corresponding to the command packet is performed, and may perform an operation corresponding to the command packet , And may transmit the status packet to the communication unit 210 to inform that the operation is being performed. After the completion of the operation, the status packet may be transmitted to the communication unit 210 to indicate whether the operation is completed.

The controller 220 analyzes the error information included in the status packet based on the status packet received by the communication unit 210 and generates a new command packet reflecting the analyzed error information. At this time, the communication unit 210 can transmit a new command packet to the smart device 100.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, after the communication unit 210 transmits a command packet including a 'write' command to the smart device 100, The command packet can be transmitted to the smart device 100.

That is, as described above, after transmitting the command packet including the 'write' command, the communication unit 210 transmits the command packet to the communication unit 210 in order to confirm whether the corresponding command packet is properly transmitted It is possible to transmit a new command packet generated by the controller 220 to the smart device 100 without receiving the status packet.

When transmitting the command packet including the 'read' command, the communication unit 210 must check the received status packet corresponding to the command packet. However, when transmitting the command packet including the 'write' command, It is possible to transmit a new command packet to the smart device 100 without checking the status packet. In this case, when a new command packet is transmitted, when the same packet is received at the same time, there is a problem that they may collide with each other. Therefore, if the status packet is set not to be transmitted upon transmission of a command packet including 'write' The communication unit 210 can transmit a new command packet to the smart device 100 even after the status packet is not received after transmitting the command packet including the 'write' command.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 220 can manage the IDs assigned to the respective modules of the robot 200, assign the corresponding IDs to the smart device 100, Can be recognized as the module of the robot 200 and the operation of the smart device 100 can be controlled as in the process of controlling the module of the robot 200. [

First, a control application is installed in the smart device 100, and the installed control application can be executed. When the control application is executed, a communication via a predetermined control protocol may be connected between the smart device 100 and the robot 200, and the smart device 100 may be set to a standby mode for receiving the command packet.

(1) In the first command packet generation step, the robot 200 can generate the first command packet.

That is, the robot 200 may generate a first command packet for controlling the module of the robot 200 in order to implement the function of the robot 200.

The robot 200 assigns an ID to each module of the robot 200 and assigns an ID to the smart device 100 so that a command packet for controlling the operation of a component corresponding to the assigned ID is assigned to the robot behavior control programming It can be created using tools.

For example, it is assumed that a '1' ID is assigned to an actuator module of the robot 200, a '2' ID is allocated to the sensor module, and a '3' ID is assigned to the smart device 100.

If the ID included in the first command packet is '1' or '2', the robot 200 transmits the first command packet to the actuator module or the sensor module in a multi-drop manner, Can be performed.

If the ID included in the first command packet is '3' ID, the robot 200 can transmit the first command packet to the smart device 100.

That is, (1) when the ID included in the first command packet generated in the first command packet generation step is the ID assigned to the smart device 100, the robot 200 can perform the first command packet transmission step .

This is because the robot 200 recognizes each of the modules constituting the robot 200 and the smart device 100 as modules of the same robot 200 and generates a first command packet for controlling the modules, The first command packet for controlling the modules included in the robot 200 is processed in the robot 200 and the first command packet for controlling the smart device 100 is transmitted to the smart device 100 And the corresponding command can be processed in the smart device 100.

(3) In the first operation step, the smart device 100 may perform a first operation corresponding to the first instruction packet. At this time, the smart device 100 can analyze the data of the first operation corresponding to the first command packet using the control table included in the control application being executed, and performs the first operation based on the analyzed data can do.

If the first command packet includes a " write " command, the smart device 100 may perform a first operation corresponding to the first command packet, and after performing the first operation, wait for receiving a new command packet Mode. At this time, when the robot 200 generates a new command packet, the smart device 100 can perform an operation corresponding to a new command packet through the above process. That is, (1) the first command packet generation step to (3) the first operation performing step can be repeatedly performed, and at this time, only the command packet is changed and repeated so that the smart device 100 performs various operations Can be performed.

When the first command packet includes a 'read' command, the smart device 100 may transmit the status packet generated using the control table to the robot 200 in the status packet transmission step. That is, the robot 200 may receive a status packet indicating the status of the smart device 100 from the smart device 100 in response to the transmission of the first command packet including the 'read' command.

 (5) In the second instruction packet generation step, the robot 200 can generate the second instruction packet based on the state packet received in the (4) state packet transmission step.

That is, the robot 200 can generate a second command packet for controlling the smart device 100 according to the current state of the smart device 100. Also, when generating the first command packet, (100), and generate a first command packet.

(6) In the second command packet transmission step, the robot 200 can transmit the second command packet to the smart device 100. [

(7) In the second operation step, the smart device 100 may perform the second operation corresponding to the second instruction packet.

(7) After performing the second operation, the smart device 100 can return to the standby mode for receiving a new command packet, and can receive a new command packet and perform an operation corresponding to a new command packet. That is, (1) the first instruction packet generation step or (5) the second instruction packet generation step to (7) the second operation execution step may be repeatedly performed. At this time, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > packet. ≪ / RTI >

(7) After performing the second operation, the smart device 100 is set in the standby mode for receiving a new command packet. However, even after a predetermined time (for example, three minutes), a new command packet is not received from the robot 200 Otherwise, you can terminate the running control application. When the control application is terminated, the communication connected between the smart device 100 and the robot 200 is released and the communication may be interrupted.

4 is a diagram showing a screen of the smart device 100 executing the control application.

The smart device 100 may store a list of resources used in a control table included in the control application.

Referring to Table 2, when the background display operation designated by the address '10040' is performed, the control value is the image number set last, if the command is 'read', and the image number to be used as the background image if the command is 'write'. At this time, the smart device 100 may store a resource list including a plurality of image files, separately manage the index numbers assigned to the image files, and manage the index numbers of the image files set last.

For example, the smart device 100 may store a resource list that includes a "flower" image file corresponding to index number 1 and a "car" image file corresponding to index number 2.

The smart device 100 receives the command packet including the '10040' address, the 'write' command and the control value from the robot 200 and stores the control value in the memory address corresponding to the '10040' address .

If the control value is '1', the smart device 100 can display a 'flower' image file corresponding to the index number 1 as a background image, If the control value is '2', the "car" image file corresponding to the index number 2 can be displayed as the background image.

That is, the smart device 100 may store a resource list used in the control table for each operation item. For example, if the operation item is audio playback, the resource list is an audio file list. If the operation item is a movie playback, the resource list may be a video file list, and the smart device 100 may store the corresponding resource list.

The smart device 100 may store a resource list for each robot 200. Since the function of the smart device 100 may be different for each robot 200, when one resource list corresponds to a command packet generated by a plurality of robots 200, the resource list is increased too much Which is difficult to manage, and solves a problem caused by a change in the index number when a part of the resource list is deleted.

Accordingly, one robot 200 can be matched with one resource list, each resource list can be referred to as a project, and a different resource list can be included for each project. The smart device 100 can perform an operation corresponding to a command packet received from a plurality of robots 200 using a control table. In this case, since the resource list is different even if the same command packet is received, another operation is performed .

For example, the smart device 100 may store a "lion" image file corresponding to the index number 1 in the resource list of the first robot, and the "tiger " "You can save the image file.

The smart device 100 receives a command packet including a '10040' address, a 'write' command, and a '1' control value from the robot 200 to perform a background display operation designated by '10040' When the command packet is received from the first robot, the "lion" image file can be displayed in the background. When the command packet is received from the second robot, the "tiger" image file can be displayed in the background.

That is, when the smart device 100 performs an operation corresponding to the command packet, the smart device 100 may perform a different operation for each robot 200 transmitting the command packet.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the smart device 100 executes a control application, and can display an image of the robot 200 matched with a project registered in advance on the screen.

When the user takes a predetermined operation (for example, a short touch) to select an image of the robot 200, the smart device 100 can be set to a standby mode for waiting for control by the selected robot 200 . After the smart device 100 receives the command packet generated by the controller of the robot 200, the smart device 100 can perform an operation corresponding to the command packet.

When the user takes another predetermined operation (for example, a long touch) for selecting an image of the robot 200, the smart device 100 displays the function of the smart device 100 as shown in FIG. 4 (b) A list of items that can be tested can be displayed on the screen. This is for testing in advance to prevent the function of the smart device 100 from being operated even if the function of the smart device 100 is controlled by the robot 200.

Here, when a specific item is selected, the smart device 100 can perform an operation corresponding to the item. For example, when the user selects a portion where "movie reproduction" is displayed, the smart device 100 can perform an operation of reproducing a preset moving image.

The item can be edited by user input, and when the checkbox of "display only the function that can modify the item" shown in FIG. 4B is selected, the smart device 100 displays the item A list of editable items can be displayed on the screen. Accordingly, the user can perform editing such as adding, deleting, and modifying items, and the smart device 100 can update and store the control table.
