Description

The Broadcasting Transmission Monitoring and Control System using LonWorks

The digitalization of terrestrial broadcasting is facing a new leap forward. This change requires efforts to pursue stable and efficient broadcasting for the reliability of broadcasting. In addition, there is an urgent need for an automated system in order to minimize the manpower cost and the reduction of operating manpower required to support this demand.

There are currently 385 terrestrial analog TV broadcasting stations (consisting of manned transmission and unmanned broadcasting stations), and 560 terrestrial digital TV broadcasting stations are expected in 2010.

Many automation systems have been introduced at home and abroad, but most of them are only at the level of delivering warning messages, and there is no efficient and intelligent monitoring and control.

LonWorks (LonWorks) used in the present invention is expanding the application field to buildings, factories, homes, farms and the like. Loneworks represents a technology that monitors and controls various electronic and mechanical devices in a limited area.

Recently, contents using short-range wireless networks such as WLAN, Bluetooth, and home RF, and mobile communication networks such as CDMA-2000, WCDMA, and FDMA are rapidly increasing.

In the present invention, the monitoring information from the broadcast equipment equipped with a sensor (Sensor) is output through the Loneworks, stored in the database and transmitted to the administrator, the administrator or automatically set control information is input and transmitted to the actuator (Actuator) through Loneworks Is executed. In addition, through LoneWorks, sensors and actuators mounted on broadcast equipment form a network. Each monitoring and control information is stored in the database of the control center and data mining technology enables more efficient and intelligent control. In addition, it solves the technical problem of using a short-range wireless network and a mobile communication network so that the managers of the local and remote can easily access at any time from a fixed location or a moving location for convenient control.

101 ~ 110: Components of broadcasting system using Loneworks

In the present invention, a description of the configuration of the broadcast transmission control system using Lonworks will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a broadcast transmission control service using LoneWorks. It is equipped with a detector / actuator (29) to transmit and output the monitoring and control information (1), and transmits the monitoring and control information to the router / gateway (5) and the network between the broadcast transmission equipment (1) User-oriented graphics for convenient and easy use by LoneWorks (2) to form, Router / Gateway (5) and Managers (8, 9, 10, 11) to deliver the generated monitoring and control information to each service area. Site manager (4), an application of the GUI (Graphic User Interface) environment, a database (3) to which data mining technology of classification / clustering / association rule / sequential pattern for all information is applied, and a site manager (4) application Local area network (6) and Internet (7) to provide services to administrators (8, 9, 10, 11) using the mobile manager (8) / near-field manager (9) / remote manager using the service (10) / broadcast station (11) It is.

2 shows the system configuration of the Lone Works 2. Surveillance information output from the detector is input to the LonWorks system through the input / output interface 27, the neuron chip 24 controls the Lonworks system and sets the communication protocol through the transceiver 23 You will be connected to an external network. In addition, the control signal which is automatically set or transmitted through the network is transmitted to the actuator 29 through the neuron chip 24 and the input / output interface 27 to be driven. In addition, the Lonworks 2 system includes a reset circuit 26, a service pin circuit 28, a power supply 25, an oscillator 21, and a memory 22.

3 shows a conceptual diagram of a data mining technique applied to the database 3. Data mining technology extracts useful information such as correlations, patterns, and trends between hidden data using pattern recognition, statistical techniques, and artificial intelligence techniques from a large amount of data (surveillance and control information). Speak the technology to apply.

4 shows an embodiment of the site manager 4 application program of the broadcast transmission control system presented through the present invention. It is proposed as a graphic-oriented interface for user convenience and efficiency. The main browser 41 shows the overall configuration of the broadcast transmission equipment 1 and the subordinate browser 42 is activated for the components of the desired broadcast transmission equipment 1, and inventory / status / purchase destination for each component. By providing detailed information such as in the inactive window 43, it is possible to efficiently manage the broadcast transmission equipment.
