Description

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING ABNORMAL ELECTRIC DEVICE IN HOME NETWORK}

The present invention relates to home network technology, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for analyzing, extracting and managing an abnormal electronic device in a home network.

With the development of communication devices, network technologies, etc., the concept of home network has emerged. The home network forms a plurality of devices (eg, a computer, a television, a refrigerator, etc.) installed in a home as one network, and controls each device according to a user's command. In order to implement such a home network, home electronic devices must be smart devices.

There are many differences between a smart device and a general device, but the only one is the communication function. The smart device performs a series of processes, such as collecting information through a communication function and interacting with another device or a person and requesting the server to process the information. In other words, the communication function, that is, the presence of the communication module and its software may be a feature of the smart device.

On the other hand, both smart devices and general devices have in common that they are electronic devices. That is, there is a feature that operates using electricity. Any device requires power to operate. At present, smart devices with computing power and communication functions and general devices are not working together, and this configuration will be maintained as the future develops. In the future, as analog and digital coexist, the use of general electronic devices will coexist.

Meanwhile, 3D printers have been commercialized and used in recent years. The 3D printer is a device that can produce a three-dimensional three-dimensional article according to a design drawing input in advance. Using these 3D printers, pistols and various electronic devices can be manufactured in-house. In addition, in recent years, various types of electronic devices have been widely used, and a method for electric power trading has been proposed while power supply does not keep up with electric power demand due to exhaustion of energy resources. Therefore, in such a power environment, a problem of illegal charging or electric power hacking of an electric vehicle may occur due to the theft of electric power using a 3D printer or the like. In particular, when manufacturing and using an electronic device that is not authorized as a 3D printer in the home, the possibility of a fire due to overheating or overload of the electronic device may be increased.

Accordingly, in recent years, a technique such as a multi-tap for measuring the power consumption of electronic devices has been proposed, but this requires a dedicated multi-tap or a plug. The configuration of these separate accessory-type measuring devices for monitoring power usage can be a hindrance to consumer dissemination and the proliferation of services as commodities.

The device grouping unit 210 may group the electronic devices based on the smart device based on the physical connection relationship between the electronic devices. The device grouping unit 210 may group electronic devices for each branch line branched from the main wiring line.

3 is a diagram illustrating a grouping result of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 3, the microwave oven 310, the general refrigerator 320, and the kimchi refrigerator 330 may be, for example. It is connected to the wiring line and is grouped into a group, and among these, the kimchi refrigerator 330, which is a smart device, is selected as the representative electronic device in the group.

In addition, the TV 340, the PC 350, the humidifier 360, and the air conditioner 370 are also connected to one wiring line, for example, and are grouped into one group, and among the PCs 350 and the air conditioners 370 that are smart devices. The PC 350 is selected as the representative electronic device in the group.

In the case of the light 380 is a non-smart device, but there is no physically connected smart device, so it exists alone.

The meter instance generation unit 220 generates a meter instance that inherits the properties of the smart meter and enables representative electronic devices to measure power consumption of the electronic devices in the group in each group created by the device grouping unit 210. do.

The meter instance generation unit 220 sets the meter instance so that non-smart devices other than the smart devices are grouped within each group to be recognized as one virtual electronic device. For example, in the group consisting of the microwave oven, the general refrigerator, and the kimchi refrigerator shown in FIG. 3, the microwave oven and the general refrigerator except for the kimchi refrigerator are set as one virtual electronic device.

The meter instance transmitter 230 transmits and installs the meter instance generated by the meter instance generator 220 to a representative electronic device in each group. As shown in FIG. 2, the meter instance transmitted from the meter instance transmitter 230 is installed in a representative electronic device, that is, a smart device in the group, and the meter instance measures power consumption of each electronic device in the group to control the home control device. Send to 120.

The meter instance may receive power usage of the smart device from other smart devices that can measure its own power usage among electronic devices in the group. The meter instance can be obtained by subtracting the power consumption of the smart devices from the total power usage of the group for the virtual power consumption of one virtual home appliance.

Referring to FIG. 3, the microwave oven 310, the general refrigerator 320, and the kimchi refrigerator 330 are connected to one branch wiring, and the kimchi refrigerator 330 is a smart device in the total power usage of the branch wiring. ), The power consumption of one virtual electronic device including the microwave oven 310 and the general refrigerator 320 is calculated.

The power usage receiver 240 receives power consumption for each electronic device in each group from a meter instance installed in the representative electronic device in each group. The electronic device includes a smart device and a virtual electronic device.

The abnormal device determination unit 250 receives and stores power usage of each electronic device received from the power usage receiving unit 240, and extracts and stores a security pattern for each electronic device based on the stored power usage. Here, the security pattern is a pattern of power usage during a certain period, and may be a time unit, a daily unit, or a weekly unit or a monthly unit.

The abnormal device determination unit 250 may update the security pattern of each electronic device at regular intervals. Since the use of electronic devices may vary according to seasons and days of the week, it is desirable to periodically update the security pattern of each electronic device in consideration of this point.

When the security pattern according to the power usage is extracted for each electronic device, the abnormal device determination unit 250 compares the security pattern with the real-time power usage pattern of each electronic device received by the power usage receiving unit 240, and does not match. The electronic device showing the real-time power consumption pattern is determined as an abnormal electronic device, and the user is notified of the fact. 8 illustrates an interface for notifying a user of an abnormal electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the abnormal device determining unit 250 displays a location where an abnormal electronic device is located on the floor plan of the home as a warning icon 810.

A method of comparing the patterns in the abnormal device determination unit 250 will be described with reference to FIG. 7 as follows. FIG. 7 is a graph illustrating power usage according to an embodiment of the present invention and a vector direction regarding a change in the power usage.

FIG. 7A is a graph of linearization of daily power consumption of an electronic device, and the day is divided into a total of eight time intervals. The direction vector of the power consumption is calculated in each time interval. FIG. 7B shows a direction vector of power usage for each time section. The abnormal device determination unit 250 may calculate the direction vector as a security pattern.

When receiving the real-time power usage of the electronic device, the abnormal device determination unit 250 linearizes the real-time power usage by the same time unit (eg, daily unit) as in calculating the security pattern. The abnormal device determination unit 250 divides the real-time power consumption into eight time intervals as in the security pattern, and then calculates a direction vector of the power consumption for each time interval.

The abnormal device determination unit 250 may compare the direction vector which is the security pattern with the direction vector of the real time power consumption, but compares the direction vector of the real time power consumption of the same time intervals with the direction vector of some time intervals of the security pattern. You can check whether or not. For example, in FIG. 7, only the direction vectors of the 0 o'clock to 3 o'clock, the 9 o'clock to the 12 o'clock, and the 18 o'clock to 21 o'clock sections can be compared to confirm the match. Accuracy increases as the number of time intervals to compare increases.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining an abnormal device in an abnormal device management system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the home control device 120 groups the electronic devices around the smart device based on the physical connection relationship between the electronic devices in the home (S401). The home control device 120 may group electronic devices by branch lines branched from the main wiring line.

After grouping the electronic devices, the home control device 120 selects the representative electronic device for each group (S403). The representative electronic device is selected as a smart device having a computing device and a memory and having an operating system.

The home control device 120 inherits the properties of the smart meter 110 to generate a meter instance that allows representative electronic devices within each group to measure power consumption of the electronic devices in the group, and group the meter instance. It transmits to my representative electronic device (S405). The home control device 120 sets the meter instance so that the non-smart devices except for the smart devices in each group are bundled and recognized as one virtual electronic device.

When the meter instance is installed in the representative electronic device in each group as described above, the meter instance measures and calculates the power consumption of each electronic device in the group and transmits the calculated power consumption for each device to the home control device 120 ( S407, S409). The meter instance may receive power usage of the smart device from other smart devices that can measure its own power usage among electronic devices in the group. The meter instance can be obtained by subtracting the power consumption of the smart devices from the total power usage of the group for the virtual power consumption of one virtual home appliance.

The home control device 120 receives power consumption for each electronic device in each group from a meter instance installed in the representative electronic device in each group. The home control device 120 receives and stores the received power usage of each electronic device, and extracts and stores a security pattern for each electronic device based on the stored power usage (S411). Here, the security pattern is a pattern of power usage during a certain period, and may be a time unit, a daily unit, or a weekly unit or a monthly unit.

The home control apparatus 120 extracts a security pattern, compares the security pattern with a pattern of real-time power consumption of each electronic device received from a representative electronic device in the group, and displays an unmatched pattern of real-time power usage. It is determined that the abnormal electronic device and informs the user of the fact (S413, S415, S417).

5 is a view showing the configuration of a home control device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 include all the functions and operations described with reference to FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 5, the home control apparatus 120 further includes a situation information collecting unit 510 and a situation information analyzing unit 520. In a typical domestic situation, the power usage pattern of the electronic device is the same. However, the pattern of using the electronic device may be different from the usual due to a change in the behavioral pattern of the user or visits of external guests. Such an exception may cause an error in the judgment of the abnormal electronic device, and thus an example and situation need to be dealt with.

In FIG. 5, the sensor 530 is a motion sensor that detects a user's movement, a pressure sensor installed on a floor of a home, and detects a user's weight, and an infrared signal of a remote controller that remotely controls an operation of an electronic device. It includes an infrared sensor for sensing, an image sensor for capturing an indoor image. The sensing information of the sensor 530 is transferred to the situation information collecting unit 510 of the home control device 120.

The context information collecting unit 510 may communicate with the sensor 530 through a wireless LAN communication such as WiFi, an ad hoc network, a short range wireless communication such as Bluetooth or ZigBee, or a UWB (Ultra WideBand) wireless technology.

In addition, the situation information collection unit 510 may communicate with the calendar terminal 540 to receive schedule information of the members of the home. Here, the calendar terminal 540 may be a terminal such as an electronic frame or a smart phone having a schedule management application installed therein, and the schedule information input from the user is input to the situation information collection unit 510 at regular intervals or when schedule information is input. Can transmit in real time.

The situation information analysis unit 520 determines the event determined to be an exception by combining the sensing information collected by the situation information collection unit 510 and the schedule information of the members of the house, and transmits the event to the terminal of the house manager. An exception is finally determined by receiving an input regarding exception handling of the event from a terminal of an indoor manager.

The situation information analyzer 520 stores information of an event determined as an exceptional situation in a memory. Therefore, the abnormal device determination unit 250 excludes the power usage of the electronic devices received at the time when the exception occurred from the extraction of the security pattern. In addition, the abnormal device determination unit 250 does not compare the real-time power consumption at the time when an exception occurs when comparing the security pattern and the real-time power usage of the electronic devices.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an exception handling method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the home control device 120 receives sensing information from a sensor 530 installed in a home (S601). The sensor 530 is a motion sensor that detects a user's movement, a pressure sensor installed on the floor of the home to detect a user's weight, an infrared sensor that detects an infrared signal of a remote controller to remotely control an operation of an electronic device, and photographs an indoor image. And an image sensor, and if the specific situation is monitored, the sensing information is transmitted to the home control device 120.

When sensing information is received from the sensor 530, the home control device 120 requests schedule information from the calendar terminal 540 and receives schedule information from the calendar terminal 540 (S605).

The home control device 120 determines whether an exception event has occurred by referring to the sensing information received from the sensor 530 and the schedule information received from the calendar terminal 540 (S607). For example, when a plurality of human objects are detected as a result of analyzing the sensing information of the image sensor and a schedule corresponding to the point in time when the sensing information is received as a result of analyzing the schedule information, the home control apparatus 120 is an exception. It can be determined that an event has occurred.

When it is determined that the exception event has occurred, the home control device 120 transmits a confirmation request message for confirming the exception event to a preregistered indoor member, that is, a terminal of the indoor administrator, and receives a response message from the terminal of the administrator. . When the administrator confirms that the exception is not an exception, the home control apparatus 120 performs the above-described process again, and when the administrator confirms that the exception is an exception, the home control apparatus 120 registers the exception event information in the memory ( S609, S611).

Therefore, the home control device 120 excludes power usage of the electronic devices received at the time when the exceptional situation occurs from extracting the security pattern. In addition, the home control apparatus 120 does not compare the real-time power consumption at the time when an exception occurs even when comparing the security pattern of the electronic devices with the real-time power usage.

While this specification includes many features, such features should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention or the claims. In addition, the features described in the individual embodiments herein can be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features described in a single embodiment herein can be implemented in various embodiments individually, or in appropriate subcombinations.
