The present invention relates to an upcycling server system using used smartphones, and more specifically, to an upcycling server system using wired and wireless communication between a master used smartphone and a slave used smartphone.

Generally, after a smartphone is used for about two years, the battery capacity rapidly decreases, and compatibility with newly released applications and the software (Operating System, OS) installed on the smartphone decreases. However, smartphones have high-performance CPUs and are capable of storage capacity and multiple wireless communications (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output, MIMO). Therefore, by modifying the smartphone's OS, it can be used as a remote web server or edge computing.

However, when converting a smartphone into a server device, there is a problem in that the server system using the smartphone must be balanced because the CPU performance, storage capacity, and battery capacity of each smartphone are different.

Therefore, there is a need for technology that can balance the server system using information on used smartphones.

It is a plan view for explaining an upcycling server device according to , FIG. 4 is an exemplary diagram for explaining a slot unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram for explaining a power supply unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. am.

As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the upcycling server device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a slot unit 110, a power management unit 120, and a control unit 130.

And, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the slot unit 110 includes a plurality of slots 111 in which a plurality of used smartphones can be installed for each slot, and a port 112 capable of Ethernet connection or power supply.

A plurality of used smartphones according to an embodiment of the present invention are devices capable of normal operation, data storage, network connection, and software installation.

In addition, the port 112 can connect a plurality of used smartphones and the backup battery 121 to supply power, and can be connected to a plurality of used smartphones to perform wired communication.

And, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5, the power supply unit 120 supplies power to a plurality of used smartphones through the built-in backup battery 121 and port 112.

And when a plurality of used smartphones are installed, the control unit 130 sets the first used smartphone installed as the master phone 140 and sets the remaining used smartphones as slave phones 150.

And when a used smartphone is installed in the slot unit 110, the control unit 130 collects information about each used smartphone including CPU performance information, memory capacity, and battery capacity.

And the control unit 130 uses information collected about each used smartphone to control at least one of wired and wireless communication, load balancing, and power balancing.

The control unit 130 wirelessly receives data from a plurality of used smartphones and transmits the data to the master phone 140, and the master phone 140 transmits and receives data to the slave phone 150 by wire and wirelessly.

The control unit 130 scans a frequency of 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz to control wireless communication. And the control unit 130 checks whether each used smartphone supports 5Ghz wireless communication. If there is a used smartphone that supports 5Ghz wireless communication, the control unit 130 preferentially performs wireless communication through the 5Ghz frequency band. In addition, the control unit 130 controls communication of a plurality of used smartphones to perform wireless communication through the 2.4Ghz frequency band when there is no used smartphone that supports 5Ghz wireless communication.

Additionally, when the master phone 140 among a plurality of used smartphones transmits wirelessly, the control unit 130 controls the remaining slave phones 150 to be in a transmission standby state. And when a plurality of used smartphones perform wireless reception, the control unit 130 switches all used smartphones to a receiving state and controls them to communicate wirelessly in a multiple reception state.

That is, the master phone 140 is capable of transmitting and receiving data to and from external sources, but the slave phone 150 is unable to transmit data.

And the control unit 130 can store all records of data reception or transmission.

Accordingly, the control unit 130 can efficiently transmit and receive data by minimizing jamming and interference that occurs during multi-wireless communication.

The control unit 130 transfers the received data to the master phone 140 in order to load balance the data received from a plurality of used smartphones. Then, the control unit 130 selects the used smartphones installed in each slot 111 in the order of their highest memory capacity and stores the data. If the memory capacity of multiple used smartphones is greater than a certain level, the used smartphones are selected in order of highest CPU performance to store data.

For example, when used smartphone information is collected as shown in Table 1 below, the control unit 130 sets the data load priority using the used smartphone information.

That is, when the memory capacity of the used smartphone is above a certain level, the control unit 130 selects the used smartphone in order of high CPU performance and quickly transmits and receives data to control load balancing.

Additionally, when a new used smartphone is installed in the slot unit 110, the control unit 130 collects information about each used smartphone and resets the order.

For example, when a used smartphone with a memory capacity of 40GB and a CPU performance ranking of 2nd compared to a smartphone previously installed in the slot unit 110 is installed in the slot unit 110, the control unit 130 Reset the data load priority as shown in Table 2 below.

And the control unit 130 checks the capacity of the battery or backup battery 121 of the used smartphone installed in the slot 111 in real time. When the capacity of the battery or backup battery 121 of the used smartphone decreases below a preset level, the control unit 130 controls power to be balanced by supplying power to the battery.

For example, when the battery of a used smartphone is 30% or less, the control unit 130 supplies power to the corresponding used smartphone or supplies temporary power using the backup battery 121 to sequentially charge the battery.

In this way, according to the present invention, data can be transmitted and received efficiently by minimizing jamming and interference phenomena that occur during multi-wireless communication.

In addition, data can be transmitted and received simultaneously by wire or wirelessly, and by balancing the server system using used smartphones, it is possible to efficiently manage the server.

The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but these are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true scope of technical protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the attached patent claims.
