Automatic Home Mode Construction in Home Network System with Mobile Terminal's measurement of Human Health Value}

The present invention relates to a home network system, and more particularly, to a method of automatically creating a residential atmosphere using health status information of a user provided by a mobile terminal entering a home network.

The home network is the next generation IT technology that is attracting the most attention and is a collection of technologies for maximizing the convenience of life by combining with the Internet based on the control, management, integration and interworking of the home appliances. The home network is divided into lower network technology for physical data transmission, middleware technology for interworking with upper applications, and information home appliance technology applied to each home appliance according to its technical layer. It is now expanding into ubiquitous computing, combined with broadband communications, wireless Internet, and sensor technologies.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), Jini, Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi), and Home Audio / Video Interoperability (HAVi), which are currently the interface between the underlying network layer and the application layer for control and management of information appliances. The various home network middlewares coexist without any technical advantage.

In today's society, mobile terminals have become a necessity to always carry anywhere, regardless of the place such as office, home, etc., and various functions such as internet and electronic payment have been converged to become a central device in high-tech field. In particular, in the medical field, as a function of measuring human health indicators is added to a mobile terminal, it is possible to continuously manage the health of an individual in a connected medical institution, an exercise center, and the like.

However, as life becomes more complex, the stress and excessive fatigue have increased the incidence of neurological diseases in modern people, and the mental and emotional health of modern people in an environment where fatigue and stress are not easily solved even at home where they should be comfortable after returning home. There is a lack of management.

In particular, modern people live not only through broadcasting such as over-the-air broadcasting and cable broadcasting, but also in the flood of information and multimedia flooded with the rapid spread of the Internet. However, the reality is that modern people have not been provided conditions for relieving stress, releasing tension and fatigue, and improving and purifying their emotions.

In general, I know it is helpful to watch music or movies or change lighting to relieve stress and to relax and relax, but what content (music or film) is effective in relieving stress and helping to recover from fatigue? Individual users do not know it properly. In addition, even if the user knows this, there is a problem in that the capacity of the personal possession is limited in its capacity.

In addition, in order for a user to listen to music and watch a video, there is a problem in that a user needs to directly download contents and operate / set each device.

The present invention is proposed to solve the above problems, by periodically checking the human health indicators of the mobile terminal user to determine the stress, fatigue, tension state of the user, and by controlling the home network system according to the result It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for automatically creating a residential atmosphere in a home network system according to a measurement of a human health indicator of a mobile terminal for relieving stress, recovering from fatigue, and alleviating stress.

In addition, the present invention, by storing the human health indicators of the user, can be used as a data for determining the exact life pattern and health of the user, there is another object to secure substantial information for medical diagnosis and prescription.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for automatically creating a residential atmosphere in a home network system according to a human health indicator measurement of a mobile terminal, wherein the home network server finds the mobile terminal entering the home network system. A first step of including the predetermined device as a node of the home network system; A second step of receiving, by the home network server, a residential atmosphere creation message from the mobile terminal included as a node of the home network system in the first step; And generating, by the home network server, a home atmosphere according to the human health index by performing control on the home network device in the home network system according to the home atmosphere creation message from the mobile terminal. .

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the same components in the drawings are represented by the same reference numerals and symbols as much as possible even though they are shown in different drawings. In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

A method for achieving the above object will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the present invention, the home network system is illustrated to be limited to a home network system using UPnP middleware. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the algorithm according to the present invention can be used in all home network systems using various home network middleware such as Jini, Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi), and Home Audio / Video Interoperability (HAVi).

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a home network system to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the home network system 100 to which the present invention is applied includes a home network 11 supporting networking between respective devices in a home environment, a home appliance 12 that is client devices of a home network system, It is composed of a home network server 15 that operates as a server of the information device 13, the mobile terminal 14, and the home network 11 and is connected to a subscriber network including a wired and wireless network.

Then, it is configured to receive information from the content provider 40 or the medical information provider 30 through the connection to the external network (Internet network 20). At this time, the connection to the external network is made through the home network server 15 or through the mobile terminal 14.

Each of the home network systems 100 configured as described above supports home network middleware so that a home application for home service can be communicated without considering specific details of devices supporting the home network middleware. This is possible, and only the home network middleware from the standpoint of the individual equipments can be connected to all service applications (Home Applications) that support it.

The home network system 100 configured as described above is applied to a method for automatically creating a residential atmosphere by measuring the physical health index using the mobile terminal 14 according to the present invention.

In the user's home, a home network system 100 is formed in which home appliances 12 including AV devices such as audio and TV and lighting are connected. The home network system 100 configured as described above is connected to the external Internet network 20 through the home network server 15 or the mobile terminal 14.

Accordingly, the home network system 100 may receive various music, movies, and the like contents from the content provider 40 through the external internet network 20, and view and store personal health information from the medical information provider 30. This is possible.

Looking at each of the components of the home network system shown in Figure 1 in more detail, the mobile terminal 14 is always carried with the user, and the frequency of contact with the user includes a user's body temperature, pulse, blood pressure, etc. A function of measuring a human health index can be given, and it is assumed in the present invention to use a mobile terminal to which such a function is added.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal 14 comprehensively analyzes the human health indicators including the user's body temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and the like to diagnose the user's current state (whether the stress is excessive, nervous or angry). After that, each numerical value and the analysis result are transferred to a medical information provider 30 in which personal health information is stored and made into a database. The data can be viewed at any time by the user, grasp the user's life pattern, medical information, etc. It can be used as. In addition, the mobile terminal 14 continuously updates the measured human health index of the user.

When the mobile terminal 14 is located outside the home, the mobile terminal 14 is used as a communication means using the public network. When the mobile terminal 14 is located inside the home, the mobile terminal 14 is interworked with the home network system in the public network, and not only as a communication means using the public network, It operates as a node of the home network system 100 that can be applied to control, content transmission, storage, etc. in the home network. The state in which the mobile terminal 14 operates in this manner is called a home mode.

In the above description, the mobile terminal 14 measures a user's human health index value, analyzes the result, and transmits the database to the medical information service provider 30 in which personal health information is stored. In order to reduce the load of 14, the user's human health indicators are measured and transmitted to the medical information provider 30, and the medical information provider 30 analyzes the current state from the received human health indicators and makes a database. It is also possible to set the result to inform the mobile terminal 14 of the result.

The home network server 15 operates as a gateway of the home network system 100. The gateway of the home network is a gateway from the access network technology to the home network system 100, and is composed of user authentication and security technology. . That is, when the external network (the internet network 20) and the home network system 100 are configured with different technologies, they serve as interfaces for mutual compatibility, and external such as content information from the content provider 40. When data from the network enters the home network system 100, it performs a function of defending the home network system 100 through security and authentication. In addition, when a new device is added to the home network, it is also determined whether it is an authorized designated user. The home network server 15 is responsible for the overall management of the home network system and serves as a storage location for data.

The medical information service provider 30 receives the human health indicator of the user and makes a database for each user so that the medical information provider 30 can view or search the user. In addition, by analyzing the current state of the user by using the received human health indicators, the corresponding information may also be a database at the time of each user's database.

In addition, the content provider 40 not only has various contents such as music, images, images, etc., but also has a program for lighting configuration, so that an effective program for relieving stress, reducing fatigue and tension, purifying emotions, etc. Programs can be provided according to health indicators.

In addition, the user is already subscribed to the user by holding in advance information on the preferred living atmosphere, such as music, images, images, lighting, the user can provide a customized program according to the user's taste.

Therefore, when the content provider 40 transmits the settings for music, video content, and lighting configuration to the home network server 15 based on the current state of the user measured by the mobile terminal 14, the home network server 15 ) Receives the transmitted content and automatically outputs it to the AV device, and automatically adjusts the brightness of the lighting to create a residential atmosphere according to the user's condition.

The medical information service provider 30 and the content service provider 40 may be operated by different operators, respectively, but are usually operated by the same service provider, using the user's human health indicators delivered through the mobile terminal. The state is analyzed and the content and lighting control information for relieving stress of the user are provided to the home network server 15 based on the state.

2 is a block diagram of a communication layer of a home network system to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 2, a communication layer of a home network system to which the present invention is applied is largely divided into a home application layer 21, a middleware layer 22, and a device layer 23.

Here, the home application layer 21 is a layer that supports application programs for home service. And, the middleware layer 22 is a layer that supports middleware for various home networks such as Jini, Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi), Home Audio / Video Interoperability (HAVi), and illustrates that UPnP middleware in an embodiment of the present invention. have. The device layer 23 is a layer for physical connection including a PHY layer 231 and a second layer 232, which are lower layers of an OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) 7 layer.

Each of the devices connected to the home network system to which the present invention is applied consists of such a home application layer 21, a middleware layer 22, and a device layer 23.

3 is a signal flow diagram of an embodiment of a networking process of a home network system to which the present invention is applied.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a signal flow diagram of a networking process of a home network system to which the present invention is applied is shown in FIG. 3, when the mobile terminal 31 enters a home network and the home network server 32 detects it. It's about the process of acting as a client (ie a node).

When the home network server 32 finds the mobile terminal 31 on the network (301), it assigns an address (302). Then, the device is recognized (Discovery) 303, the specification of the device (Description) 304, and the operation of the Event (Event) / Control (Presentation) (305).

Looking at each process, since the middleware UPnP according to an embodiment of the present invention is an IP (Internet Protocol) based network, IP is required for each device connected to the network. Accordingly, IP allocation, that is, address allocation ( 302 is first performed.

If each device is assigned an IP address through the address assignment 302, it is then necessary to recognize the devices to be controlled. To this end, the controller recognizes the device using a protocol called Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) (303). At this time, the controller searches for the devices of interest and the controller responds. In addition, when the controller is connected to the network, the controller automatically notifies other devices of the fact that the controller is connected, and periodically informs whether the connection is continued.

When the device is recognized (303), it is necessary to know what services are to be performed for each device. To do this, when the controller finds a controller, the controller sends a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) containing the specification of the device, and the controller gets the equipment specification in XML (eXtensible Markup Language) document from the controller. This document contains manufacturer information, product information (model, serial number,…), and a list of services.

The controller then takes the device specification from the controlled device, analyzes the service of the described device, and then sends an appropriate command to the controlled device to control it. The protocol used here is XML (eXtensible Markup Language) / SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). This is called control.

In the home network, the state of the device is often changed according to the surrounding environment. Sometimes these changes can be important to the user, so UPnP defines events. The controller pays attention to the state of the controller, and the controller delivers an event message to the controller when its state changes. Events are a pair of (name, value), and the protocol used in the event is GENA (Generic Event Notification Architecture) in XML format. This is called an event.

The controller may read an HTML page of the control text. This HTML page shows the user interface related to the use of the device, which also controls the device or shows its status. This is called a presentation.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a process of adding a mobile terminal to a home network in a home network system according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the process of adding a mobile terminal to a home network in the home network system, first, through the middleware, the home network recognizes that a new device has appeared in the network (301). In addition, an IP address is assigned in the address assignment process 302, and the mobile terminal 31 assigned the address transmits an advertisement message for recognizing its existence to another device or the home network server 32. In step 401, an authentication process is entered for the mobile terminal 31 found in the device discovery step. A user ID request is made through a control-query variable (402).

The mobile terminal 31 then responds (ID response) to the control request variable (Control-Query variable) (403).

Then, after checking whether the mobile terminal 31 has access authority in the corresponding home network through the ID matching through the ID matching (404), if the ID of the mobile terminal 31 does not match, An abnormal process is performed (405).

When the IDs are matched and authenticated, the home network server 32 requests a description of the device (406), and the mobile terminal 31 has its own detailed information and service made of eXtensible Markup Language (XML). After providing the information (Description file) (407), the switch to the home mode (41) enables communication and control with other devices through the UPnP in the home network. In addition, the home network server 32 also recognizes the corresponding service of the device (42). Here, the home mode means that the corresponding device operates as one node of the home network.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for automatically creating a residential atmosphere according to a physical health index measurement of a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, a method of automatically creating a residential atmosphere based on a physical health index measurement of a mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described using UPnP, which is one of middlewares.

First, the mobile terminal 31 measures a human health indicator including a user's blood pressure, body temperature, pulse rate, etc. and stores the result (501).

Looking at this process in more detail, it analyzes the current state of the user through the measured human health indicators, the analysis is as follows. For example, if the pulse is faster than the reference value, the blood pressure level exceeds the allowable range, and the user's body temperature rises, an analysis result shows that the user is excited. The analysis of the current state of the user using the measured human health indicator may be performed by the mobile terminal 31 as described above. However, the mobile terminal 31 periodically checks the human health indicator periodically. The measured value is delivered to the medical information provider, and the medical information provider analyzes the current state and transmits the measured value to the medical information provider through the mobile terminal 31. In addition, the mobile terminal 31 updates the newly measured human health index and analysis result to store a record of the user's current state.

In addition, in order to automatically create a residential atmosphere using the mobile terminal 31, the mobile terminal 31 should be operated as one node of the home network system, which can be applied if the mobile terminal is set to the home mode. It will be recognized that it will enter the atmosphere.

Therefore, it is necessary to check whether it is the home mode. To this end, the home network server 32 discovers the mobile terminal 31 on the network (502) and switches the mode to the home mode through the process as shown in FIG. 4 (503).

As such, in the state 503 in which the mobile terminal 31 is in the home mode, the mobile terminal 31 transmits to the home network server 32 a residential atmosphere composition message including the latest update result of the user's state. (503). At this time, the residential atmosphere creation message is an event message (event message) of the event (Eventing) step.

Here, the residential atmosphere creation message includes a recent update result of the user's state and time (timeout) information of the corresponding residential atmosphere creation.

The home network server 32 includes AV contents and a control program according to the residential atmosphere composition message (505). Here, the AV content and the control program are set according to the state of the user included in the residential atmosphere creation message. Therefore, according to the URL information of the content server for receiving the previously set AV content, it is connected to the corresponding content server, and downloads the AV content according to the user's state. In addition, the control program for the brightness of the illumination, the volume of the AV device and the like are stored in the home network server 32 or downloaded and provided through the content server.

In addition, the home network server 32 having the control program and the AV content operates a timer for satisfying the timeout information included in the residential atmosphere creation message (506), and transmits to the home network device 33 in the home network system. The control message is transmitted to the AV device and the lighting device (507).

The above process is described again as an example of the operation of the calm mode when the mobile terminal user returns home from the excited state.

First, when the mobile terminal 31 enters the home mode in a situation where the result of the recently updated state of the mobile terminal user is analyzed to be an excited state rather than a normal state, the mobile terminal 31 sends a residential atmosphere creation message to the home network server 32. do.

In addition, the terminal accesses the corresponding content server according to URL information of the content server for receiving the previously set AV content, and includes the AV program and the control program for each AV device and the lighting for the true mode. The message for control is transmitted to the corresponding home network device according to the provided content, and the AV content is also transmitted to the corresponding AV device.

That is, peaceful music content is transmitted through audio, and an appropriate volume control control message set together with a reproduction request is transmitted as a control message so that optimal music is reproduced. In addition, the stored picture / video content is sent to the TV, and at the same time, the playback request control message is also sent to the TV, so that the transmitted idle pictures are output through the TV screen or the movie of the memory is played. In addition, by transmitting a control message to the lighting device in the living room to create a dark tone of the lighting device.

On the other hand, when the residential atmosphere creation time set by the user runs out in a state where a residential atmosphere is created through various devices, that is, when the user setting time is terminated by a timer, the home network server 32 provides a corresponding housing. Prior to the termination of the atmosphere, a message informing the time-out of the residential atmosphere creation event is forwarded to the mobile terminal 31 (509) and the user inquires whether to continue or terminate the residential atmosphere (510).

If the user selects termination (510), the mobile terminal 31 transmits the termination message to the home network server 32 (511). Accordingly, the control message is transmitted to the home network device 33 in the home network system to control the AV device and the lighting device (512). In other words, it transmits an end message for the control commands for creating the atmosphere.

If the user does not select termination (510), the mobile terminal 31 transmits a maintenance message to the home network server 32 (513). Accordingly, the residential atmosphere is maintained.

In the above, the creation and termination of the residential atmosphere in the home network system has been described, but the termination of the residential atmosphere can be accomplished in more various ways.

First, when the mobile terminal 31 does not exist on the home network, i.e., because of its departure from the home network area, an advertisement refresh message indicating its existence is no longer transmitted from the mobile terminal 31, or mobile When the terminal 31 sends a "byebye" message that disconnects itself from the home network, or the power is turned off, the home network server 32 allows the living atmosphere to be automatically terminated.

Second, the end of the residential atmosphere can be selected by the user. When a state change occurs due to the input of the end button, the event message about the termination of the residential atmosphere is sent to the home network server 32, and thus the home network server ( 32 ends the creation of a residential atmosphere.

As described above, the method of the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.) in a computer-readable form.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited by the drawings.

The present invention as described above, by periodically checking the human health indicators of the mobile terminal user to determine the stress, fatigue, tension state of the user, and control the home network system according to the result to the user to relieve stress, fatigue recovery This helps to relieve tension.

In addition, the present invention, by storing the user's human health indicators, can be used as a data for accurately determining the user's life patterns and health, there is an effect of securing substantial information for medical diagnosis and prescription.
