When the environment information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 are provided in the portable terminal, the environment information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 operate in conjunction with a portable terminal such as a smart phone using a physical interface or a communication interface, ≪ / RTI >

The environmental information generated by the environmental information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 includes, for example, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, ozone concentration, air pressure The wind direction, the wind amount, the noise level, and the radioactivity concentration, and the environmental information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 may include various sensing devices for sensing various environmental conditions. At this time, the types of environmental conditions detected by the environmental information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 may be the same or different from each other.

The environmental information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 transmit environment information about the sensed environmental conditions to the environmental information collecting apparatuses 20-1 to 20-3 using a machine to machine (M2M: Machine to Machine).

Object communication refers to a communication method that intelligently collects and transmits information by combining communication functions with objects, and it is advantageous that information can be transmitted without human control.

The environmental information collecting apparatuses 20-1 to 20-3 collect environmental information according to the environmental conditions sensed by the environmental information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 and deliver them to the environmental information server 30 .

At this time, the environment information collecting apparatuses 20-1 to 20-3 receive environment information from the environment information sensors 10-1 to 10-7 using object communication.
