Therefore, the configuration for the input / output device is not necessary, and the modification or the modulation of the device by the third party in the non-smoking area can be prevented, and the device configuration is compact and simple, so that the manufacturing cost can be considerably lowered.

As shown in Figure 2, the configuration of the smoking control system using the above-described sensor communication device 100 is a configuration including a sensor communication device 100, the Internet communication network and the control server (300). The cigarette smoke detection data collected by the sensor communication apparatus 100 is transmitted to the control server 300 through the Internet communication network via a modem or the like installed in the area. The transmitted sensed data determines whether the cigarette is smoke, and classifies the data according to a processing process capable of taking an action such as a warning according to the determination and transmits the processed signal back to the sensor communication device 100.

As described above, the smoking cessation management system according to the present invention provides a system capable of effectively managing the difficulty of managing the smoking cessation area with a small number of people and simple facilities from a long distance. In particular, the internet network is easily installed because it is installed in almost all buildings, and there is a great advantage that a large number of smoking cessation areas can be integrally managed at one time.

Communication between the sensor communication apparatus 100 and the control server 300 via the Internet communication network is managed through registered IDs and the like, and the control server 300 integrally monitors the detection status of each zone at once, Management processing according to the data can be performed.

In addition, by connecting the management console (administrator console port) 140 installed in the sensor communication device 100 with the management terminal in the established state of the smoking control system to check the communication status and whether there is a failure of the device, maintenance, maintenance, management . That is, the operator or the manager can be connected to the management port 140 of the sensor communication device 100 installed in the smoking cessation area when a regular checkup or abnormality is captured, it is possible to troubleshoot, diagnose and manage.

And (e) the control server 300 comprises a step of processing the sanctions procedure according to the smoking ban.

Here, it is possible to determine whether to smoke or not, by the sensor communication device 100 or the control server 300, but the control server 300 determines the final determination of the quit violation by analyzing the signal. In addition, the sanctioning procedure according to the smoking cessation violation in the control server 300 may be sent to the corresponding zone manager (building owner) online with the data based on the penalty if the number of smoking cessation violations is more than a certain number of times. It is also possible to classify the data separately so that the sanctioning procedure can be performed offline later.

As described above, the management of the smoking cessation area by the above-described method, the device of simple configuration, not only can be easily managed in a complex building or a difficult area of smoking cessation management, but also manages a large number of areas, and management and sanctions There is an effect that can be made stably and accurately.
