Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a terminal device for indoor environment improvement,

The present invention relates to a terminal device for indoor environment improvement based on Internet of Things (IoT), and more particularly to a terminal device for indoor environment improvement based on Internet of Things (IoT) Indoor radon concentration, fine dust, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, total airborne bacteria, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, volatile organic compounds, asbestos, ozone and other pollutants, as well as temperature and humidity can be measured more efficiently, The present invention relates to a terminal for improving the indoor environment based on the object Internet, which can improve the indoor living environment by determining whether the ventilation system to be installed (for example, blower, air conditioner, heater, air cleaner, dehumidifier, humidifier, etc.) .

Generally speaking, Internet (IoT) refers to intelligent technologies and services that connect all things based on the Internet and communicate information between people, things, objects and objects. IoT It is also abbreviated.

Such Internet of objects is a stage that is more advanced than Internet or mobile internet based on existing wired communication, and devices connected to the Internet exchange information with each other without human intervention, , It is similar to the existing Ubiquitous or M2M (Machine to Machine) communication. However, M2M is extended to the Internet to interact with all the information of reality and virtual world As a result of this.

However, the control over the conventional Internet based devices is performed by a cloud server or an e-play service as disclosed in Patent Registration No. 10-1453364 (Attachment 2014.10.22), Registered Patent Application No. 10-1453372 (Attachment 2014.10.22) And the device control is also made through a cloud server or an application. Therefore, there is a limit to providing a home based service. Accordingly, conventionally, There was no control at all.

In other words, the conventional indoor environment improvement is not based on the Internet of things but is performed on the indoor side by using radon, fine dust, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, total floating bacteria, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, volatile organic compounds, asbestos, There is an inconvenience in that the occupant must directly control the ventilation system to remove various pollutants or adjust the temperature and humidity of the room according to the sensed result, while sensing the temperature and humidity through a separate sensor .

In particular, among indoor pollutants, radon (Rn) is a naturally occurring colorless, odorless, tasteless, soluble radioactive gas with atomic weights of 219, 220 and 222, which are U-235, Th- 222 radioactive decay products that are inactive and are more likely to be inhaled easily by people because of their greater mobility and heavier weight than air.

In other words, radon disappears naturally when a certain period of time (for example, 3 days) elapses in the atmosphere, but when it is indoors, it becomes a cause of second lung cancer following smoking, , There is a serious problem in that the radon can be damaged by the radiation generation and the radon can be constantly introduced into the indoor space by the soil gas, building material, ground water, etc., and distributed in any space on the earth.

Conventionally, in addition to the equipment for detecting radon, such as those disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2011-72590 (published on June 29, 2011), Laid-open Patent Publication No. 10-2012-66484 (published on June 22, 2012) The development of equipment for removing radon contained in ground water is actively under way, and in particular, as a method for preventing inflow of radon into the indoor side, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2009-47983 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2008-104770, published on Dec. 23, 2008), and the like.

However, it is difficult to determine whether the ventilation system (e.g., blower, air conditioner, heater, air cleaner, dehumidifier, humidifier, etc.) Are all determined by the occupants or by interlocking one sensor (eg radon sensor) with one ventilation system (eg blower) and operating the ventilation system 1: 1 according to the sensing information, The overall improvement in performance was inevitable.
