1 is a block diagram of a terminal 100, a server 200, and an IoT home appliance.

2 is a block diagram of a terminal 100 for controlling an IoT home appliance.

The terminal 100 interoperates with the server 200 and at least one IoT home appliance to control the operation state of the IoT home appliance, and outputs the operation state of the IoT home appliance through the display unit 130. The terminal 100 includes a processor 110, a transceiver 120 for transmitting and receiving information to and from the server 200, and a display unit 130 for exposing the information, and the display unit 130 includes at least one IoT home appliance. Exposing a widget for controlling an operation state, the transceiver 120 transmits a control input for the IoT home appliance received from the user through the widget to the server 200, and the display unit 130 is The dynamic image corresponding to the signal received from the server 200 is output based on the processing result of the control input.

At least one IoT home appliance exposed to the widget may be an IoT home appliance from which a selection input is received from a user.

Through the above configuration, it is possible to selectively provide IoT home appliance information that the user is currently controlling or interested in.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the terminal 100 may expose a widget including operation information of the first switch, the first plug, the gas valve, and the outgoing switch from which a selection input is received from the user.

In another example, when the IoT home appliance received a selection input from the user is a fan, an air conditioner, a fan, a boiler, a TV, the terminal 100 includes a widget including operation information of the fan, the air conditioner, the fan, the boiler, and the TV. May be exposed (not shown).

In another example, when the IoT home appliance received a selection input from the user is an air cleaner, a blind, a refrigerator, or a stand, the terminal 100 exposes a widget including operation information of the air cleaner, the blind, the refrigerator, and the stand. (Not shown).

Referring back to FIG. 1, the terminal 100 may be connected to the server 200 through a wireless network. The terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 via an IoT hub installed in the home (not shown). As illustrated in FIG. 1, a plurality of IoT home appliances may be installed in the home. For example, the # 1 IoT home appliance of FIG. 1 is a switch, the # 2 IoT home appliance is an IoT plug, the # 3 IoT home appliance is a gas valve, the # 4 IoT home appliance is a switch away, and the # 5 IoT home appliance is an IoT cooker , # 6 IoT home appliance may be an air conditioner. The terminal 100 and the IoT home appliance may exchange information with each other through Z-wave, Bluetooth, Wifi, Zigbee, and the like. The terminal 100 may be one of a smartphone, a mobile phone, or a tablet PC capable of installing an application.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying an operation state of an IoT household appliance.

4A to 4F illustrate an operation state display method of the home appliance according to each step.

The terminal 100 exposes a widget for controlling an operation state of at least one IoT home appliance (S100).

The terminal 100 is installed with an application for controlling the operation state of the IoT home appliance, the application may be exposed through a widget. The widget may indicate an operation state of at least one IoT home appliance and may receive a control input for controlling the IoT home appliance.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the widget may expose operating states of each of the four IoT appliances and the IoT appliances, namely, Switch 1, Plug 1, Gas Valve On, and Outgoing Switch Off.

The terminal 100 may further display a refresh input area, a setting input area, or a widget name display area on one side of the widget. Referring to FIG. 4A, the terminal 100 displays a widget name display area (eg IoT home appliance), a refresh input area (eg two arrows bent in a clockwise direction), and a setting input area (eg a gear) at an upper end of the widget. Can be displayed. When a refresh input for the widget is received from the user, the widget may receive and expose the operation state information of the IoT appliance which was last updated from the server 200.

In one example, when a refresh input for the widget is received from the user, the widget is an IoT home appliance such as switch 1, plug 1, gas valve off, outgoing switch off most recently updated from the server 200 Receive and expose the operating state information of (see Fig. 4d and 4e).

In another example, when a refresh input for a widget is received from a user, the widget may be operated by IoT appliances such as fan off, air conditioner off, fan on, boiler on, and TV on. Receive and expose status information (not shown).

In another example, when a refresh input for a widget is received from a user, the widget may be the last updated air purifier On, Blind Off, Refrigerator, On, Stand Off of the IoT appliance. Operation state information may be received and exposed (not shown).

The terminal 100 transmits a control input for the IoT home appliance received from the user through the widget to the server 200 (S110).

The terminal 100 may receive a control input for an IoT home appliance from a user through a widget. 4A illustrates an embodiment of receiving a control input for a gas valve which is a # 3 IoT home appliance among a plurality of IoT home appliances from a user. The terminal 100 may receive a control input for the gas valve from the user and transmit it to the server 200.

When the control input is received from the terminal 100, the server 200 determines which IoT home appliance the control input is for controlling. In one example, the control input received by the server 200 from the terminal 100 may be to turn off the operation state of the gas valve which is the # 3 IoT home appliance.

The server 200 determines what is the controlled IoT home appliance, and directly transmits the control input to the corresponding IoT home appliance or to the corresponding IoT home appliance through an IoT hub installed in the home.

The IoT home appliance corresponding to the control input changes the operation state to correspond to the control input when the control input is received from the server 200, and transmits the changed operation state information to the server 200 directly or through an IoT hub. Can be.

For example, when the IoT home appliance is a gas valve in an operating state of the On mode, and receives a control input from the server 200 to switch the operating state to the Off mode, the gas valve switches the operating state to the Off mode. The changed operation state information indicating that the system is currently operating in the off mode may be transmitted to the server 200. The IoT home appliance is designed to communicate with the server 200 even when operating in the off mode, thereby receiving a control input to switch from the off mode to the on mode from the server 200 to change the operation state.

If the plug of the IoT appliance corresponding to the control input is unplugged from the outlet, or the communication quality between the IoT appliance and the server 200 is low or the connection is not smooth even when the plug of the IoT appliance is connected to the outlet, the control input The corresponding IoT home appliance may not receive a control input from the server 200. In this case, the IoT home appliance may not change the operation state according to the control input and may not transmit the changed operation state information server 200.

The server 200 transmits the generated signal to the terminal 100 according to whether the changed operation state information is received from the IoT device under control. Specifically, when the changed operation state information is not received from the IoT device to be controlled within a predetermined time (eg 20 seconds, 1 minute, etc.), the server 200 generates a connection failure signal and receives the changed operation state information. In this case, a control completion signal may be generated.

The terminal 100 outputs a dynamic image corresponding to the signal received from the server 200 (S120).

The signal may be one of a connection failure signal or a control completion signal. The dynamic image may have a change in shade density (eg, increase in shadow density from 10% to 40%, decrease in shadow concentration from 35% to 15%, etc.), and a predetermined magnification ratio (eg 3 times, 4 times, etc.) displayed on the display of the terminal 100. Dynamic characters (eg people, animals, plants, robots, objects, signs, symbols) that have circles and movements that change from one to two times, one third, one third, etc. And the like).

The concentration of the shadow may increase over a portion of the display portion or the entire region of the display portion. 4B to 4F illustrate shades of increasing density throughout the display unit.

The increase in the concentration of the shade and the enlargement of the magnification of the circle may start at the same time and may continue for the same time. For example, the increase in the concentration of the shadow and the enlargement of the circle may be simultaneously started at 6:32 pm when the terminal 100 receives the connection failure signal or the control completion signal from the server 200. In addition, the increase in the concentration of the shadows and the enlargement of the circles may last for the same time, 3 seconds.

The circle may be a circle with a uniform radius or an ellipse with a long axis and a short axis. The color of the circle may be one of various colors such as red, yellow, blue, green, black, white, orange, light green, sky blue, ivory, brown, gray, pink, and purple.

The dynamic character may be located inside the circle. 4C, 4D, 4E, and 4F show dynamic characters located inside of a circle, according to one embodiment. In addition, the dynamic character may be located outside the circle or move from inside to outside (or vice versa). Dynamic characters can be accompanied by vibrations, rotations, magnifications, reductions, inversions, color inversions, shape changes, disappearing or appearing effects.

4B to 4D, it is possible to more clearly understand the increase in the concentration of the shade and the enlargement of the magnification of the circle.

4B shows the shade density (e.g. 10%) and the magnification (e.g. 1x) at the time when the concentration of the shade increases and magnification of the circle starts.

FIG. 4C shows the shade density (e.g. 20%) and the magnification (e.g. 2x) at the time point where the increase in the concentration of the shade and the magnification of the circle progressed by half. 4B and 4C, it can be seen that the concentration of the shade of FIG. 4C is higher and the magnification of the circle is larger than that of FIG. 4B.

FIG. 4D shows the shadow density (e.g. 30%) and the magnification (e.g. 3x) at the point when the increase in the concentration of the shadow and the magnification of the circle are finished. Referring to FIG. 4C and FIG. 4D, it can be seen that the concentration of the shade of FIG. 4D is higher and the magnification of the circle is larger than that of FIG. 4C.

In one embodiment, the circle may be enlarged while maintaining the aspect ratio and the aspect ratio.

In one example, when the aspect ratio and the aspect ratio of the circle are maintained and enlarged, and the shape before the magnification is enlarged, the shape of the circle may be preserved even if the magnification is enlarged.

In another example, when the aspect ratio and the aspect ratio of the circle are maintained, and the shape before the magnification is elliptical, the shape after the magnification may also be an ellipse.

4B-4D show circles in which the magnification is enlarged while maintaining the aspect ratio and the aspect ratio. That is, the circle according to Figs. 4b to 4d is magnified, but the shape of the circle is continuously maintained. 4B, 4E, and 4F also show circles in which the magnification is enlarged while maintaining the aspect ratio and the aspect ratio.

In another embodiment, the circle may change in aspect ratio and aspect ratio when the magnification is enlarged (not shown). In this case, although the shape before the magnification may be a circle, the shape after the magnification may be an ellipse. On the contrary, the shape after the magnification may be a circle even if the shape before the magnification is an ellipse. Alternatively, the shapes before and after magnification enlargement may be ellipses, but the ellipses before and after magnification expansion may be ellipses having different lengths or directions of long and short axes.

In one embodiment, the circle may be enlarged based on a center of a circle (circle 心) of a fixed position. By increasing the magnification of the circle while the centrifugal is fixed, it is possible to provide a sense of stability to the user who watches the process of the circle.

4b to 4d show circles in which the magnification is enlarged based on the centrifugal of the fixed position. That is, the circle according to FIGS. 4B to 4D is enlarged in magnification, but the centrifugal length is fixed only at the center of the display unit, and only the length of the radius is increased.

4B, 4E and 4F also show circles in which the magnification is enlarged based on the centrifugal of the fixed position.

In another embodiment, the circle may change the position of the centrifuge as the magnification is enlarged (not shown). By moving the centrifuge in accordance with the magnification of the circle, the operation state of the IoT home appliance can be more dynamically provided to a user who watches the magnification process of the circle.

The terminal 100 may receive a connection failure signal from the server 200.

In one example, the server 200 may transmit a connection failure signal to the terminal 100 when a bad communication state with the terminal 100 (e.g. network connection failure, etc.) occurs.

In another example, the server 200 may transmit a connection failure signal to the terminal 100 even when a bad communication state with the IoT home appliance 300 occurs.

In another example, the server 200 may transmit a connection failure signal to the terminal 100 even when a bad communication state between the IoT home appliance and the IoT hub constituting the home network occurs.

In another example, when the terminal 100 does not receive a signal from the server 200 within a predetermined time (eg 30 seconds, etc.), the terminal 100 may be configured to operate as if the connection failure signal is received from the server 200. It may be.

FIG. 4D illustrates a dynamic image output when the terminal 100 receives a connection failure signal from the server 200 while a human-shaped dynamic character tilts its head toward the lower left or lower right of the dynamic character in a red circle. Shows. As shown in FIGS. 4C and 4D, the size of the dynamic character can be enlarged or reduced with the magnification of the circle.

In another embodiment, the terminal 100 may receive a control completion signal from the server 200.

4F illustrates a dynamic image output when the terminal 100 receives a control completion signal from the server 200 so that a human-shaped dynamic character moves up and down an arm holding a rod-shaped object inside a yellow circle. . As shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F, the dynamic character can be enlarged or reduced with the magnification of the circle.

In one example, when outputting the dynamic image, the terminal 100 may further output a text message associated with the connection failure signal or control completion signal received from the server 200. The terminal 100 may also audibly output a message related to the connection failure signal or the control completion signal through a microphone.

As shown in FIG. 4D, when the connection failure signal is received from the server 200, the terminal 100 may further output a text message “communication state is not smooth” on one side of the display unit along with the dynamic image. Can be.

As shown in FIG. 4F, when the control completion signal is received from the server 200, the terminal 100 may further output a text message of “control complete” to one side of the display unit together with the dynamic image.

When the control completion signal is received from the server 200, the terminal 100 may update the widget by reflecting the control completion signal. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4E, the terminal 100 may update a third region displaying an operation state of a gas valve, which is a # 3 IoT home appliance, from On to Off.
