Description
The present invention relates to a technique for tracking a layer movement state of a user in a specific space, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for detecting a user's interlayer movement using a pressure sensor.
Generally, in the process of tracking the position of a person to be tracked, which is moving in a specific space, the floor movement state of the person to be tracked is tracked by using the infrastructure built for each floor or by using a walking navigation system do. Both methods have an advantage in that they can be continuously tracked by relatively simple equipment, but there is a limit in that the error probability is large. In the case of using the infrastructure constructed for each floor, the floor moving state is determined by detecting the entry of the target person through the equipment installed in each floor such as the wireless AP, , It is impossible to track the layer movement status in an emergency such as a disaster. In the case of the method using the walking navigation method, the motion such as the walking motion of the subject is recognized using the acceleration and the angular velocity measured through the inertial sensor to determine the interlayer movement. In this process, It is difficult to provide accurate interlayer movement information due to erroneous detection of the layer movement error and layer movement determination errors due to individual walking characteristics. For this reason, there is a need for a technique capable of increasing the accuracy of interlayer movement detection in a specific space.

At this time, the determination unit determines that the inter-layer movement of the observer is caused when the amount of change between the first altitude information and the second altitude information is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.
According to one embodiment, the processing unit may further determine whether or not the observer is in a layer movement, and calculate the altitude error using the difference between the altitude information just before the layer movement occurs and the second altitude information It can be continuously updated.
According to another aspect, there is provided a method of detecting a user's interlayer movement using a pressure sensor. The method includes the steps of: obtaining at least one altitude information according to a position of an observer moving in a subject space for a predetermined time period; determining a first altitude information at a start point of the time interval and an ending point Calculating an amount of change between the first altitude information and the second altitude information on the basis of the calculation result and determining whether the object to be observed is moved between layers based on the calculation result; And the like.
According to one embodiment, the altitude information may include an altitude value calculated corresponding to pressure information measured from a pressure sensor attached to one side of the observer.

Fig. 2 is a view for explaining a problem of layer error detection caused by an altitude error. Fig.
In order to compensate the limitations of the process of tracking the floor movement using the existing method (using the infrastructure constructed by each floor of the building or using the walking navigation system using the inertial sensor), the interlayer movement detection device The altitude information is measured using a pressure sensor worn on one side and the layer movement state is detected by using the measured altitude information. This is based on the characteristic that the atmospheric pressure decreases to a certain level according to the altitude change. The pressure information measured by the pressure sensor based on the standard atmospheric pressure-altitude correlation is converted into altitude information And convert the converted altitude information into the layer position of the object to be observed again.
However, in the case of the pressure sensor, there is still a possibility of error in measuring the altitude information of the observer due to high temperature and high pressure in an emergency such as initial bias, fire, and disaster. In FIG. 2 (a), if the temporal temperature or the atmospheric pressure is abnormally measured, an error may occur as shown at 210 in the altitude information conversion process in which the observer is located. In this case, since the altitude error generated in the altitude information conversion process is directly used for the layer position conversion, an error occurs in determining the layer movement state of the observer.
Fig. 2 (b) is a graph obtained by converting the altitude information of Fig. 2 (a) into the layer position. As the altitude information shown in FIG. 2 (a) changes in the range of -5? Alt? 5, the interlayer movement state within the range of one to three layers should be reflected and displayed in FIG. 2 (b). However, as altitude error is generated as in (210) in FIG. 2 (a), the layer-to-layer movement state is not fully reflected in FIG. 2 (b) It can be mistakenly detected that the movement has occurred.
Therefore, in order to minimize the error due to the initial bias of the pressure sensor or the altitude error due to the temperature / atmospheric pressure, it is necessary to continuously correct the altitude error due to the interlayer movement while tracking the layer moving state of the observer .
3 is a flow chart showing an interlayer movement detection method according to an embodiment.
The interlayer movement detecting device detects the layer moving state by using the altitude information measured through the pressure sensor as means for detecting the layer moving state in real time using a pressure sensor worn on one side of the body of the observer moving in a specific space The relative altitude error is continuously reflected in the process, thereby providing a method of increasing the accuracy of the determination of the interlayer movement of the observer.
