Description

INTERNET OF THINGS GAS PLATFORM SYSTEM PERFORMING REMOTE-MONITORING AND REMOTE-CONTROLLING AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a gas platform system and a method thereof, and more particularly, to an IoT gas platform system and method for performing remote monitoring and remote control.

Conventionally, gas usage is metered through a gas meter and a gas fee is charged accordingly. However, there are many cases in which gas usage is manipulated by illegally operating a gas meter, but it is difficult to prevent or efficiently cope with this.

On the other hand, conventionally, there is a problem that can not immediately deal with large disasters such as earthquake, fire, as well as simple gas leakage. Primarily depends on how the user directly controls the gas supply, and there is a limit to the user's response to these various disasters.

In addition, it is almost impossible for a remote gas supply station to directly monitor or cope with the widespread use of gas in such an immediate disaster or leakage accident.
