Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a power management system,

The present invention can be applied to a case where a smartphone is confirmed as being absent from a transmitter by a scanner when a power supply or a switch of an electric / electronic appliance such as an electric / electronic appliance, an air conditioner, By checking the absence of the smartphone in the scanner and transmitting the power or switch off signal of the electric and electronic products through the multi power saving receptacle part, it is possible to stabilize people's mind, (Daytime) and all-day function (All) are given to the mode switch section of the scanner so that a variety of function selection And the scanner may be selected from Bluetooth, WiFi, and infrared communication of the communication unit The MAC address and the UUID of the smart phone registered in the unique information registration / storage unit of the scanner are exchanged with the smart phone interlocked with the electric / If the MAC address and the UUID of the smartphone of the members are registered in the unique information registration / storage unit of the scanner, the communication unit can communicate with the scanner, And the power-related off signal is transmitted to an external device that senses the electric / electronic product, so that power management through the search of the wireless device capable of providing presence or absence of the electric / electronic product or presence of the person System technology.

A typical example of a positioning system that receives a signal of a satellite from outside and finds its position is a satellite positioning system (GPS). However, the biggest disadvantage is that the satellite positioning system (GPS) can not operate in a room that does not receive satellite signals. In other words, if you have a smartphone with a built-in GPS function, you can go to the front gate of a large shopping mall, but you can not find a specific store or toilet in the shopping mall.

In order to solve this problem, the system under development is an indoor positioning system (IPS) as shown in FIG. 1, which is proposed by Apple in the name of iBeacon, Short-range wireless communication (NFC) technology. This system detects the location of the customer with Bluetooth LE (Beacon Low Energy) beacon signal, and it can be used if the device not equipped with iOS as well as Apple is equipped with Bluetooth LE (including Android) While the detection distance of the eyebone is at least 5cm to 49m, which is much more likely to be used.

In addition, the indoor positioning system (IPS) uses a WiFi, Bluetooth, magnetic field, etc. to locate a user in a building and easily find the location of an object or place against the map embedded in the smartphone . Although the indoor positioning system (IPS) is a short-range wireless communication technology such as NFC, communication can be performed within a distance of 50m, which is longer than the NFC, and sufficient communication is possible in a house or a shop if it is 50m. When a person holding a mobile phone is located in an indoor space of a shopping mall in which transmitters A, B, C, and D are installed in all directions, a sensing signal is received from the transmitter A located at the closest distance through short- Shoppers can see their location.

The above-described ibicone can be utilized in various ways, for example, when the refrigerator is opened and the milk falls, the milk is checked in the ibicone application. Then go to the mart and buy this one and go to the corner of the milk and buy the milk. The shopper then buys the milk without buying the milk, makes a shopping list, tells the store where to buy the product, where to buy it, and where it is.

In addition, shopping information can be sent randomly to the passengers, such shopping information can lead to accidental shopping, not plan shopping, and the store can wirelessly direct the flyer on the street.

As such, shopping information and coupon discounts can be spawned, but mobile payments, which can generate the most revenue, must use a different system. This is because the ibicone has only a push function and a weak bi-directional communication function.

However, if it is possible to pay for mobile with ibicone, which can communicate up to 50m, there is a risk that the smartphone in the pocket will settle the payment by itself. Of course, fingerprints or passwords can be prevented, but passwords that are not fingerprint-sensitive can be hacked.

On the other hand, although it is different from the case described above, for example, there is a case in which a person mistakenly turns on a power or a switch of an electric or electronic product such as an electric or electronic appliance, an air conditioner or a gas appliance in a home or office, If you go out to travel, or go on a trip, you will sometimes experience a situation where you can not remember correctly whether you turned the power or switch on or off the electrical and electronic product.

However, in order to solve this problem, it is possible to stabilize people's mind by transmitting an off signal to the power or switch of the electric and electronic products connected to the multi-power outlet of the scanner using a smartphone from the outside There has been no development of a system that can reduce the loss of property by preventing fire related damage.

Therefore, when a person mistakenly turns on a power or switch of an electric or electronic appliance such as an electric or electronic appliance, an air conditioner, or a gas appliance in a home or an office and goes outside, when the scanner confirms that the smartphone is not indoors from the transmitter, , It confirms the absence of the smartphone and transmits the power or switch off signal of the electric and electronic products through the multi power saving receptacle part so as to stabilize people's mind, (Daytime) and all-day function (All) are provided to the mode switch of the scanner to provide a variety of function selection according to the needs of the users who use it And the scanner may be selected from among Bluetooth, WiFi, and infrared communication of the communication unit The MAC address and the UUID of the smartphone are periodically exchanged between the smart phone and the electric / electronic product wirelessly. Thus, if the MAC address and the UUID of the smartphone registered in the unique information registration / storage unit of the scanner are matched, It is necessary to develop a power management system through a wireless device search that recognizes the presence of a person and recognizes that there is no person if it does not match.
