Description
The present invention relates to a usage guidance system and guidance method of electricity, water, hot water, calorie, heating, and the like, in particular, the energy consumption of electricity, water, hot water, calorie, heating, etc. in a house, office, factory, etc. The present invention relates to an energy usage guidance system and a guidance method that allows a user to easily recognize a daily usage or a weekly usage by displaying a number or a visual graph on a mobile phone or a PC.
Among the terms used in the present invention, the energy usage means 'energy usage such as electricity, water, hot water, calories, heating, etc. in a house, office, factory', etc., and is referred to as 'energy consumption' for convenience of description.
In general, home network systems install various communication equipment, control equipment, and monitoring equipment in households, offices, officetels, apartments, and the like, and then connect them with digital devices and network networks within and outside the households. The home network system applies cutting-edge digital information technology to information appliances and convenience facilities used in the home, making it easy to manage and operate the facilities of the home from anywhere inside or outside the home. Therefore, the home network system basically includes home electronic devices such as home servers, security systems, gas leaks, fire alarm systems, door access control systems, and home appliances that can control home automation devices.
In addition, the home network system is a wired communication such as telephone line communication, power line communication (PLC), LAN cable communication, coaxial cable communication, Ethernet, home PNA and IEEE1394 or Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wireless communication networks such as UWB, home RF, WLAN, and Wi-Fi are used.
The display device of such a home network system provides visual information to a user using a display device such as an LCD and displays various information data of a home server received through a communication unit on a screen. Also, when a user inputs various commands, each command or menu is displayed on the screen. Meanwhile, information may be delivered to a user by using a speaker provided therein. The control command or information request can be equipped with a display device as a touch screen, which can be used as an input device and an output device, or can be separately configured. The user can give a command to the home server to operate and manage the home network system. When requesting information, it is a means of receiving input.
The home server may control a home automation device such as a TV, a light and a boiler by receiving a control command through the home network terminal. In addition, usage data is collected from a remote metering device such as an electric meter, a gas meter, a water meter, and the like, and the data is stored and provided to the user through the home network terminal when the user requests information.
On the other hand, in general, the amount of electricity, gas, water, etc. used in the home is read every month by the meter reader, the utility bill, that is, electricity, gas, water usage fee is charged to the user according to the result of the meter reading. These charges for electricity, gas, water, etc. are calculated by each construction company, after deducting the amount read last month from the current metered amount, and calculating with the deducted amount.
In other words, the meter reader visited each home and visually checked the meter for electricity, gas, water, etc., and recorded the result of the check in a notebook, and then recorded it in the computer network of each construction company. As such, there is an inconvenient problem that a meter reader is required to read the amount of electricity, gas, water, and the like, and that the meter reader must visit each family.
The camera and the processing device are mounted on the metering device that reads the meter, and the metering device is modularized.The metering device compresses the photographed image file using the CMOS camera, removes unnecessary parts of the image file, and then removes the ID and the image file. As an automatic meter reading device, a meter outdoor meter and a wireless remote meter automatic recorder for transmitting through a wired or wireless method are known.
In addition, the graphic user interface of the well pad used as a display device of the home network system has a fixed character size. That is, the characters of the touch interface of the conventional well pad support a fixed character size and do not separately support the character adjustment using any other function keys. An example of a technique for solving such a problem is disclosed in
