Description

Customized browser providing device and control method thereof {Apparatus and method for ordering browser}

The present invention relates to a customized browser providing apparatus and a control method thereof, in particular, HA (Intelligent Building System), IBS (Intelligent Building System), BAS (Building Automation System), FA ( Factory Automation (Factory Automation) Provides a customized browser connected to the Internet for intuitive and convenient control and monitoring of the system and home appliances through the Internet, and controls the browser's shape, shape, and buttons. The present invention relates to a customized browser providing apparatus and a control method thereof, which are adapted to provide an intuitive and convenient environment to a user by changing to an atypical window according to a personality and a user type.

The worldwide spread of the Internet was initially centered on corporations, research institutes, and schools, but more recently, it is increasingly centered around ordinary families. This has led to interest in building networks in the home, and to home automation.

The term home automation is a term used to refer to equipment included in an interphone device that mainly connects a videophone showing a visitor's image to a wall of a living room and a security office. It only performs simple functions such as gas leaks and fire alarms, and even those functions are limited to calling a pre-entered phone number or alarming at home. Due to this inconvenience, the utilization rate of pre-installed home automation equipment is estimated to be less than 5%.

Home automation only performed simple control, monitoring, and metering in the home, such as gas leak alarms, gas meters, boiler start-ups and shutdowns, as well as several existing simple home appliances. However, due to the proliferation of the Internet and the development of communication technology, it is possible to control and monitor all the equipment connected to the network by not only controlling and monitoring some devices but also configuring them as one network. In addition to interoperation, computer-related equipment is increasingly required by consumers to configure data networks to access the external Internet.

In addition, the network technology has developed rapidly since the mid-1990s, and most offices, buildings, and factories have a local area network (LAN) using Ethernet. LAN network, which is mainly used for sharing various resources (files, printers) as office automation (OA) in offices, is used for control and monitoring of various devices in the factory's FA, IBS and BAS in the building.

Around 2000, the Internet, which has rapidly increased the user base and convenience, has been expanded from a limited network in a certain area called LAN to the world. Most offices, factories and buildings are connected to the Internet. In addition, with the rapid spread of high-speed Internet such as Cable, xDSL, HPNA, etc., each home, which was a blind spot of the network, has established an environment that can be connected to the Internet at any time in many homes.

The control and monitoring of the conventional HA, BAS, IBS, FA was mainly performed in the control PC or workstation in charge of the control. The control PCs and workstations use assembly and low-level programming in C / C ++, visual tools in Visual C ++ / Visual Basic, motifs in X-Window, and dedicated MMI tools. Compile and write control and monitoring program.

However, when using the conventional method, a lot of time and manpower was consumed in setting up the control PC and the workstation, and when the modification of the program occurred, the problem of version control to modify the programs of all the control PCs and the workstation occurred. It was.

In addition, programs written with visual tools or motifs can create UIs (User Interfaces) in a relatively user-friendly environment, but programs written in ASSEMBLY and C / C ++ often have text-based UIs rather than graphics. There was also a disadvantage that it takes a lot of time and effort to use the user skillfully.

On the other hand, due to the rapid spread of the Internet and the development of Internet technology to support it, the Internet such as Internet Explorer or Netscape, which is basically installed in the OS, not a dedicated program for such control and monitoring, has been around since 2000. Browser technology has begun to spread.

When using an internet browser, the browser basically supports a graphical UI, making the user interface easier and easier to use, and most of the users have experience using the internet browser to help them learn how to use it for the first time.

In addition, since much of the control and monitoring logic runs on web and home servers, it can be used even when the specifications of client systems that users mainly use are low, and it can be used anywhere in the world where the Internet is connected. Also solved. Of course, only the Internet web browser is required, which solves the problem of version control in the process of distributing the program.

However, in the case of a compiled program operating in the local system, all resources of the system can be used freely, so that the user can freely create a UI for the user. However, when using an Internet browser, there is a problem that the user is not free to express the UI.

In addition, the Internet browser always maintains the shape of a rectangle, and has been limited in supporting various effects such as changing the program type provided by the compiled program.In the development process, the Internet browser has various effects compared to the RAD (Rapid Application Development) visual tool. Difficulties followed.

In addition, there are limitations in how they can be expressed, which makes it difficult to differentiate between competitors and competitors.

On the other hand, the conventional HA, BAS, IBS, FA system was difficult to provide a single consistent interface in terms of user interface. Because of the characteristics that the reliability and response speed should be high in the control of equipment and devices, many methods of directly connecting devices and equipment to the controller and PC are used. As a result, incompatibilities and devices were mixed with each other, resulting in a mixture of devices, operating systems, and operating programs. As a result, problems such as difficulty in operating the system of the user and the operation / manager, malfunction, and misjudgement were highly likely to occur.

Home appliances can be controlled directly by the user approaching the device with buttons and rotary switches, or within a limited distance with a remote controller. Occasionally, audio that can be controlled using a PC and a dedicated interface was sold, but it was not widely sold due to lack of convenience and limitation of distance.

In addition, each user had to take care of the device. Even if a home appliance breaks down, the user must apply for repairs directly from the manufacturer, and the user must manage the upgrade to improve the performance of the home appliance.

For example, the existing home automation system is a device equipped with functions such as security, disaster prevention, and landline in the interphone commonly found in apartments and villas. Few users properly used non-intuitive devices with no user interaction and a myriad of buttons, and feature upgrades were nearly impossible. There was no integrated management of the services provided.

Recently, many developments have been made in recent years due to standardized networking technology, H / W, and S / W enhancements and performance improvements, but these developments did not provide consistent systems and services.

In addition, it is possible to develop in a short time due to the visual development tool, solve the distance problem through the Internet, and solve the version control problem in the program distribution by using a web browser.

However, visual development tools are difficult to distribute and version control, and the use of web browsers does not overcome the weaknesses of functional and user interface limitations compared to visual development tools.

The problem with conventional HA, IBS, BAS, FA systems is that there is no consistent and unified user interface. All systems, equipment, devices, and software are developed without considering each other and are still incompatible. If there are N systems, equipment, devices, and software, the user of the prior art had to bear the inconvenience of learning N usages.

Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to intuitively and conveniently control and monitor HA, IBS, BAS, FA systems and home appliances through the Internet. It provides a customized browser connected to the Internet, and the customized browser providing device that can provide intuitive and convenient environment for users by changing the control, such as the shape, shape, and buttons of the browser into a non-standard window according to the characteristics and user type of the system. And a control method thereof.

In addition, another object of the present invention is a place where the use of the Internet by adding a customized browser and services to the various control systems such as buildings, apartments, factories, etc. connected to the Internet and remote control and monitoring of home appliances, meter reading, etc. This provides a convenient environment for users and administrators anywhere.

In addition, another object of the present invention in the HA, BAS, IBS system mainly by building the shape of the browser in the form of the building, functional structure, control panel, such as buildings and apartment complexes, villas, etc. Various devices, including home appliances, provide browsers with the internal and external appearance of the device and the control panel, and add additional information associated with various databases to provide convenience.

Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to make use of the advantage of using the Internet browser in a customized browser, and to compensate for the disadvantages of the user interface and use of the Internet browser, and download the form of the browser in real time from the server. It is possible to change and to arrange control control wherever you want. With the UI support that is similar to the program developed by visual tool and the ability to create UI quickly and easily, you can have advantages and differentiation between competitors and competitors.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to not only download the form of the browser in real time from the web server and home server, but also stored in the user's system as an execution module so that it can be executed when used, it is difficult to download the browser in real time The network bandit also enables support for small users.
