Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a beacon-based disaster prevention system and a control method thereof,

The present invention relates to a beacon-based disaster prevention system and a control method thereof, and more particularly to a beacon-based disaster prevention system and a control method thereof, in which beacons are installed at various places requiring disaster or user's location confirmation, And a smart device, and to a control method of the system and a disaster prevention system based on beacons.

In general, beacon technology is a combination of location-based services and short-distance wireless communication technologies. This beacon technology is a smartphone that enables users to locate a user within a 50-meter radius, send messages, It is a short distance communication technology. In particular, these beacon technologies are based on the 'Bluetooth 4.0' technology available in smartphones, and this Bluetooth 4.0 has the advantage of consuming very little power. For example, such a beacon can be used for jelly bean 4.3 or more in the case of Android and iOS7 or later in case of iOS.

Referring to FIG. 1, a disaster management system using the conventional beacon technology as described above is installed in a plurality of points where a disaster is predicted, such as a landslide, or a restaurant that wants to grasp the approach of a user, A plurality of beacon sensors 70 for transmitting to the outside;

A beacon management device 71 for analyzing event signals received from the plurality of beacon sensors 70 and generating disaster alert information or coupon accumulation information according to the analysis and transmitting the generated emergency alert information or coupon accumulation information upon external request;

And a smart phone 72 connected to the beacon management equipment 71 by a Bluetooth method and reading out the generated emergency alert information or coupon accumulation information and displaying it on the display.

Meanwhile, in the operation of the disaster management system using the conventional beacon technique, the beacon sensor 70 is installed at a plurality of points where a disaster is predicted, such as a landslide, or a restaurant or the like, which desires to grasp the approach of the user. In this process, if an event occurs, the beacon sensor 70 installed in the area senses the event and transmits the event to the beacon management equipment 71. Then, the beacon management equipment 71 analyzes the event signal according to the landslide inputted from the beacon sensor 70 to generate the disaster alert information. At this time, when a user of the smartphone 72 approaches the beacon sensor 70, the smartphone 72 accesses the beacon management device 71 in a Bluetooth manner and fetches the currently generated disaster alert information Display on the display to allow the user to take appropriate action. On the other hand, when the user of the smartphone 72 approaches the vicinity of a restaurant in a state where the beacon sensor 70 is installed in a restaurant or the like that wants to grasp the user's access, the beacon sensor 70 transmits the beacon sensor 70 send. Then, the beacon management equipment 71 generates and accumulates coupon accumulation information for the user of the smartphone 72.

However, since the beacon sensor transmits the event signal only to the beacon management device and the beacon sensor can not communicate with each other, the communication distance is very short, so that even if an event such as a disaster occurs It has been difficult to efficiently manage disasters because it is very difficult to transmit them to other event collecting equipment quickly. Also, when a beacon is installed in a place such as a building, It is very difficult to grasp accurately and precisely, and since it is a simple detection method using a beacon, it is very difficult to obtain information for moving to another place in the building.

As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of beacon sensors, each having a Mash Protocol installed therein, are installed at a position where a disaster is expected in the initial state S1 or at a plurality of locations where a user needs to be located, A first step (S2) of setting adjacent beacon sensors to communicate with each other using an individual ID;

A second step (S3) of checking whether an event is generated at a position where the beacon sensor is installed after the first step (S2) and relaying the event signal to an adjacent beacon sensor when an event occurs;

During the second process (S3), the beacon management server analyzes the event signal received through the relay transmission of the beacon sensor, generates and stores the set event information, accesses the detection range of the specific beacon sensor, And a third step S4 of transmitting the event information to the phone or transmitting the event information from the beacon sensor to the smartphone.

In the third step S4, a plurality of beacon sensors installed in each passage of the building precisely detect the fire detection information of the zone where the beacon sensor is installed, and transmits the event information transmitted using the individual ID to the beacon management equipment And an emergency escape route information generating step of generating an emergency escape route having a small risk of fire after analyzing using the emergency escape route information.

In the third step S4, a plurality of beacon sensors installed in each passage or a room of a large building accesses a location where a user of the smart phone operating a dedicated application for location confirmation approaches the installed location of the corresponding smartphone And transmits the beacon management device to the beacon management device using its own individual ID.
