DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a situation recognition system and method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that the following embodiments of the present invention are only for embodying the present invention and do not limit or limit the scope of the present invention. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

First, FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a situation recognition system 1000 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Each component of the context aware system 1000 of the present invention may be implemented using at least a portion of at least one processor.

1, the context recognition system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a device identification unit 100, a context recognition unit 200, and a control signal generation unit 300. As shown in FIG.

The device identification unit (100) serves to identify the status of a plurality of electronic devices. The context recognition unit 200 recognizes the status of the user using the identification information of a plurality of electronic devices identified by the device identification unit 100. [ In addition, the control signal generator 300 generates a control signal for controlling the state of the electronic apparatus.

The operation of the device identification unit 100 will now be described in detail.

2 is a block diagram of a device identification unit 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

2, the device identification unit 100 includes a power calculator 110, an event determiner 120, a feature value extractor 130, and a device identifier 140.

The power calculator 110 calculates the power using the input voltage signal and the current signal. The calculation of the power by the power calculator 110 is the power consumed by a plurality of electronic apparatuses connected to one switchboard, for example, the power used in one household.

The event determiner 120 determines whether an event related to a plurality of electronic devices to be identified by the device identifier 140 is generated. That is, the event determiner 120 serves to detect whether there is an electronic apparatus that is switched from an on-off state or an off-state to an on state among a plurality of electronic apparatuses for which the amount of power is calculated all at once.

The event determiner 120 may include a first event determination unit 121 for a large amount of power consumption electronic equipment and a second event determination unit 122 for a small amount of power consumption electronic equipment, As shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an event determination method by the first event determination unit 121. FIG.

Specifically, the first event determiner 121 determines whether an event has occurred in step 2.

In the first step, it is determined that an event occurs primarily, that is, a preliminary event, if the change value of the amount of power for the first predetermined time period is equal to or greater than a preset power value. However, there is also a case where the change value of the amount of power for the first predetermined time period is equal to or larger than a preset power value, even though there is no electronic apparatus that is switched from the on state to the off state or from the off state to the on state. Examples include momentary power outages and power supply instability.

If it is determined that an event has been generated primarily, the first event determination unit 121 may determine that an event has occurred, even though the actual event has not occurred, It is determined that the event is finally generated. The comparison with the pre-stored reference power waveform can be exemplified by comparison with stored power waveforms for events in various cases at the learning stage.

The first event determination unit 121 determines the waveform of the power output from the power calculator 110 based on the time when the event is firstly determined to have been generated at a predetermined second time interval, Calculate the dian distance. If the difference between the sum of the calculated distances and the sum of the Euclidian distances for the third time of the second predetermined time interval of the stored reference power waveform is less than a predetermined value, Is generated.

4 is an explanatory diagram of the Euclidean distance calculating method.

As can be seen from Fig. 4, the Euclidean distance means a distance in a diagonal direction from a point at a second time interval from the first point, and the sum of the distances is finally calculated at a second time interval .

The second event determination unit 122 calculates a moving average for a fifth time interval at a fourth time interval using a moving average filter and outputs the calculated plurality of moving average values to a reference It is determined that an event has occurred by comparing with the moving average. Specifically, the second event determiner 122 determines whether an event has occurred by comparing each of the plurality of moving average values with a predetermined reference moving average of the stored reference moving averages, . That is, the previously stored reference moving average includes not only the moving average value but also the dispersion value information, and it is calculated whether the calculated moving average belongs to a statistically predetermined range from the previously stored reference moving average, that is, within a predetermined significant level , It can be determined that the event has occurred by calculating the sum of the statistical values at a plurality of moving averages.

The second event determination unit 122 performs similar statistical comparison of the moving average as described above in order to extract the shape as a characteristic value because a similar shape is repeatedly displayed when the electronic device operation state is changed.

The feature value extractor 130 extracts a feature value of a power calculated from the power calculator 110, that is, a feature parameter. However, the feature value extractor 130 of the present invention preferably extracts a feature value when it is determined that an event has been generated by the event determiner 120.

Specifically, the feature value extractor 130 searches for a steady state after the event determiner 120 determines that an event has occurred, and calculates a difference value with respect to a time before the event is determined to have been generated It is preferable to extract the feature value. The steady state is a stable period in which a certain range of power is measured for a predetermined time. The feature value extractor 130 extracts the difference value between the reactive power and the active power before and after the occurrence of the event as the feature value. That is, the feature value of the present invention may be a form in which a plurality of feature values form a set rather than one feature value.

Fig. 5 shows the rms value waveform of the power.

As can be seen from FIG. 5, if the steady state is not a steady state after a certain period of time has elapsed since the occurrence of the event, an error may occur in the feature value extraction.

Preferably, the feature value extractor 130 extracts a difference value between the steady state power usage amount after the event occurrence time and the previous steady state power usage amount as a feature value.

The device identifier 140 serves to identify the electronic device associated with the extracted feature value using the feature value extracted by the feature value extractor 130. The device identifier 140 can identify the electronic device by comparing feature values previously stored for each electronic device with feature values extracted by the feature value extractor 130. [ A kNN (k-Nearest Neighbor) algorithm is an example of a method of comparing feature values.

It is preferable that the device identification unit 100 of the present invention operates in two steps of learning and classification.

In the learning step, a set of feature values is generated and stored by matching the power waveforms and the operated electronic devices according to various event occurrences. In the classifying step, the operated electronic devices are identified through comparison with stored feature value set data .

Hereinafter, the context recognition unit 200 of the present invention will be described in detail.

6 shows a configuration diagram of the context recognition unit 200 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As can be seen from FIG. 6, the context recognition unit 200 of the present invention includes the perception unit 210 and the final recognition unit 220.

The context awareness unit 200 of the present invention can recognize the final user's situation while minimizing the computational power of the processor by recognizing two stages.

The per-area recognition unit 210 learns and inferences the situation by predetermined neural networks by the neural network. Assuming that it is a general apartment, the district can be set as living room, kitchen, big room, small room and toilet, and it can be learned and deduced according to the area such as living room-TV watching, kitchen- .

The area-specific recognition unit 210 includes a zone-specific learning unit 211 and a zone-specific reasoning unit 212.

The zone-specific learning device 211 learns the situation of each zone by using the identification information and the time information of the corresponding electronic device among the identification information of the plurality of electronic devices identified by the device identification section 100 as input variables. In addition, the zone-specific reasoner 212 serves to infer the situation by zone, using the identification information and the time information of the electronic device as input variables based on the learning information of the zone-specific learning device 211. The per-cognitive unit 210 can use the time information as an input variable for more accurate learning and inferencing. For example, if you have a roommate in your room in the middle of the night and you have the associated electronics turned off, you might be in the middle of sleep.

The final recognition unit 220 integrates the situation information for each zone from the perception unit 210 by the neural network and learns and inferences to recognize the user's situation. The output variable of the final recognition unit 220 becomes the user's context information. For example, if the occupancy of the apartment is 1, the situation of the final user is deduced if it is inferred that the situation of the room such as the large room-absent, small room-absent, living room-TV viewing, kitchen- It will be concluded while watching.

The final recognition unit 220 includes a final learning device 221 and a final reasoning device 222.

The final learning device 221 plays a role of learning the final situation of the user by using the situation information for each zone as an input variable. The final inference unit 222 serves to infer the user's situation using the situation information for each zone output from the inference unit 212 based on the learning information of the final learning device 221. [

The control signal generation unit 300 generates a control signal based on the state information of each electronic device based on the user's situation information using the speculation result of the final recognition unit 220 and the state information of the current electronic device by the device identification unit 200 And generates a control signal for controlling the state of the electronic apparatus using the information. For example, if the TV is on in the living room while sleeping, the control signal generator 300 generates a control signal for turning off the TV.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a method for recognizing a situation according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The context awareness method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention uses the context aware system 1000 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention described above, It is to be understood that all features of the cognitive system 1000 are included. In addition, the context-aware method of the present invention may be implemented by at least a portion of at least one processor using data in a storage medium such as memory or hardware.

7, the method for recognizing a situation according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a device identification step S100 for identifying the states of a plurality of electronic devices, a plurality of devices identified in the device identification step S100, A state recognition step (S200) of recognizing the user's situation using the identification information of the electronic device, and a control signal generation step (S300) of generating a control signal for controlling the state of the electronic device.

In step S1212, the Euclidean distance is calculated for a third time at a predetermined second time interval, based on the time when it is determined that the event has been primarily generated, and the waveform of the power calculated in step S110 is calculated based on the calculated distance And the sum of the Euclidian distances for the third time of the second predetermined time interval of the reference power waveform stored in advance is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, it is determined that an event has finally occurred.

In operation S122, a moving average for a fifth time period is calculated at a fourth time interval, and the calculated plurality of moving average is compared with a previously stored reference moving average to determine that an event has occurred .

Specifically, in step S1221, it is determined that an event has occurred by comparing each of the plurality of moving average values within a predetermined statistical range from a corresponding reference moving average of the stored reference moving averages.

In step S130, a steady state after the time when the event is determined to be generated is searched, and a difference value with a time before the occurrence of the event is extracted as a feature value. Specifically, the step S130 extracts a difference value between the reactive power and the active power before and after the occurrence of the event as a feature value.

In step S140, the electronic device is identified by comparing the feature value previously stored for each electronic device with the feature value extracted in step S130.

In the context recognition step S200, the neural network learns the situation for each preset zone, integrates the situation information for each zone by the perception-per-zone recognition step S210 and the neural network, (Step S220). The output variable in step S220 is the user's context information.

More specifically, the step S210 includes steps S211 and S211 of using the identification information and the time information of the corresponding electronic device among the identification information of the plurality of electronic devices identified in the device identification step S100 as input variables, (S212), based on the learning information of the zone-by-zone situation, by using the identification information and time information of the electronic device.
