5, in the IoT-based quarantine method, first, the user terminal 200 requests a device search by the sterilization and disinfectant generation device 100 (S410), and the sterilization and disinfectant generation device 100 includes identification information. The response information is transmitted to the user terminal 200 (S420). At this time, the response information includes the product name and MAC address of the sterilizing agent generating device. Specifically, the user terminal 200 broadcasts the device search request information including the MAC address to the disinfectant generating device 100 using WiFi, and for this, the model name and MAC provided from the disinfectant generating device 100 Based on the reception of the response information including the address, authentication information for the corresponding sterilizing agent generating device is given, and registration is requested to the management server 300 by matching the user terminal information with the sterilizing agent generating device including the authentication information. (S430).

Thereafter, the management server 300 registers the sterilizing agent generating device 100 and the user terminal 200 (S440), and at this time, the user inputs schedule information of the matched sterilization sterilizer through the user terminal 200, The user terminal 200 may transmit schedule information of a sterilizer input by a user to the management server 300. The schedule information includes a use date, a use start time, and a use end time. In addition, the management server 300 may transmit the schedule information to the sterilizing agent generating device 100.

Thereafter, the sterilizing and disinfectant generating device 100 may perform an operation according to the schedule information, determine the operation state, generate state information, and transmit the state information to the management server 300 (S460). The information may include operating state information, error information, and general device information of the sterilizing agent generating device 100. For example, the operation status information may include device on/off information, error information, and schedule information, and the device general information includes identification information of the sterilizing agent generating device, the sterilizing agent generating device model name, and the user terminal 200. It may include given authentication information, a standard additive amount, a standard concentration of a disinfectant to be generated, and the like.

The user may maintain the sterilizing agent generating device 100 based on the error message (S490), and may transmit the maintenance result to the management server 300. Depending on the embodiment, the user terminal 200 may request a remote control from the management server 300 (S492) When the management server 300 receives a remote control request from the user terminal 200, the sterilization and disinfectant generating device 100 ) Can be remotely controlled to control the status.

In particular, the present system is provided with a detection unit 150 capable of detecting environmental information such as temperature and humidity and fine dust in the sterilizing and disinfectant generating device.

Therefore, the environmental information acquired from the detection unit 150 is transmitted to and stored in the service app of the user terminal 200 and the management server 300 (S510, S511).

In addition, the control unit 160 of the sterilizing and disinfectant generating device 100 analyzes whether the environment is harmful, that is, the degree of risk, from the value detected by the detection unit 150 (S520).

It is displayed on the display unit 170 provided in the disinfectant generating device 100 according to the analyzed risk. At this time, if the measured value is out of the appropriate range, a warning sound and a warning message may be generated to induce the disinfectant to be sprayed on the display.

At the same time, the measured value and the analysis result are provided to the user through the service app of the user terminal (S520). The user terminal transmits and stores environmental information and risk analysis results transmitted from the disinfectant generating device to the management server. The management server sums up the average temperature and humidity over the past one month and manages the infection control index, for example, "bad", "normal", and "good", and transmits it to the user terminal.

The user terminal displays the degree of infection control as a Guam salt management index on the service app screen and provides it to the user.

The user checks the result provided through the service app screen, and if it is out of the appropriate range, the user sprays a sterilization agent to sterilize it.

For example, when a disinfectant generating device is installed in the kitchen, the detection unit built in the disinfectant generating device detects the temperature and humidity of the kitchen, determines whether it is appropriate, and transmits it to the user terminal.

The temperature and humidity of the kitchen is displayed in real time on the service app screen of the user terminal. If the temperature and humidity of the kitchen is not appropriate, an alarm is provided to warn of this.

The user receives this warning and immediately disinfects the kitchen by spraying a disinfectant.

On the other hand, in the quarantine system according to the present invention, when the user is at a distance, the service app can control the sterilization and disinfectant generation device to spray the sterilization and disinfectant into the kitchen (S530). At this time, if the sterilizing disinfectant has already been generated, the generating unit 180 is not operated and only the spraying unit 190 is operated. You have to make a disinfectant by operating it, and then spray it into the kitchen.

Since such an operation is possible remotely, the user can see the alarm and disinfect the kitchen even when outside.

In addition, it is natural that the user can manually operate the disinfectant generating device by viewing the alarm provided through the user terminal. In this case, the user can disinfect by spraying a sterilizing agent into the air or tableware in the kitchen.

Furthermore, in the IoT-based personal quarantine system according to the present invention, when the measured temperature and humidity exceeds the reference value, the management server or the user terminal may transmit a control command so that the sterilizing agent generating device is automatically operated.

On the other hand, the quarantine system according to the present invention obtains environmental information by a detection unit provided in the sterilization and disinfectant generation device, and if necessary, the user manually sprays the sterilization and disinfectant to disinfect, or remotely operates the disinfectant generation device. It is to control and disinfect.

However, in contrast, when environmental information is provided from the Meteorological Agency and deviates from the reference value based on this, the user may manually spray and disinfect the disinfectant, or remotely control the disinfectant generating device to disinfect.

6 is an exemplary view showing a service app screen of an IoT-based personal quarantine system according to the present invention.

As shown, the temperature and humidity measured by the detection unit are displayed on the service app screen, and brand information is provided in terms of very good, good, bad, very bad, and the like. In addition, the indoor infection index based on the measured temperature and humidity is displayed in 10 units from 0 to 100.

Also, indicate the expiration time of the disinfectant. In this embodiment, in particular, hypochlorous acid is used as a disinfectant and disinfectant. That is, the sterilizing and disinfecting agent generating device electrolyzes a predetermined additive solution to generate hypochlorous acid and sprays it.

However, after 72 hours after hypochlorous acid is obtained by electrolysis, the sterilization and disinfection effect decreases. As such, there is an expiration time according to the type of sterilization and disinfectant, so the expiration time of such disinfectant is provided on the service app screen.

In addition, on the service app screen, one of'standby status' and'power saving mode' is displayed as the device status, and the connection status with the user terminal is also displayed.
