Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a home automation service system and method.
The home automation service for establishing a smart home network not only means various functions installed in individual devices in order to improve human convenience, but also means that they mutually control and interoperate with each other through communication between devices . It is not easy for various devices to interoperate with each other. Recently, standards for interworking between devices have been prepared by various standard organizations, and interworking between various devices will be possible in the not too distant future.
It is quite obvious that the more kinds of devices that can interoperate, the better home automation service is provided. For example, if the user had to turn on the TV to turn on the DVD mode, turn on the DVD player, turn on the home theater, adjust the volume appropriately, and mute the TV, When interworking is possible, the user can select all the movies on the home media server, so that all the preceding series of processes can be performed automatically.
However, when such a plurality of devices are interlocked, a specific device may receive two conflicting commands at a specific moment, which may cause the device to malfunction in an undesired direction. For example, a fire would cause a flame sensor to open all the doors and windows in the house, which would cause a very serious situation if the security sensors were to close the doors and windows again.
This problem arises because each device is essentially always passive to the given command, even though the device may include more and more functions to enhance human convenience over time.
The present invention proposes a home automation service system using a group artificial intelligence which determines whether or not each of a plurality of devices connected to a home network, rather than a central server, performs an instruction according to a situation.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a home automation service system is disclosed.
A home automation service system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first device that receives an operation command and a second device that exercises a veto power or agrees with the first device to perform the operation command.
The first device derives its own state change information according to the execution of the operation command according to the input of the operation command and transmits a notification message including the state change information to the second device, And transmits a rejection message indicating rejection of an operation command of the first device to the first device when the predicted influence is a problem.
The second device ignores the notification message if the predicted influence is not a problem.
The first device considers that the operation of the first device is performed by the second device if the reject message for the veto power is not received within a predetermined time after transmitting the notification message to the second device, And executes the corresponding operation command according to the agreement.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a home automation service method performed in a home automation service system in which a plurality of devices connected to a home network are interworked is disclosed.
A home automation service method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of receiving an operation command from a first device, which is one of the plurality of devices, a step of deriving a state change of the first device according to the execution of the operation command A step in which a second device, which is a remaining device excluding the first device among the plurality of devices, predicts the influence of the state change, and the first device issues the operation command according to the predicted effect of the second device Including the step of vetoing or agreeing to perform.
The step of the first device deriving its state change according to the execution of the operation command includes the step of the first device transmitting the notification message including the state change information to the second device.
The step of exercising or agreeing to the vetoing step includes transmitting, to the first device, a reject message indicating rejection of an operation command of the first device when the predicted effect is a problem .
The step of exercising or agreeing the veto power includes disregarding the notification message if the predicted effect of the second device is not a problem.
When the first device does not receive a rejection message for vetoing a veto within a predetermined time after transmitting the notification message to the second device, the second device considers that the operation of the first device is performed by the second device, And performing the corresponding operation command according to the agreement.
The present invention provides a home automation service that is more advanced than the conventional one through a group artificial intelligence that determines whether or not each of a plurality of devices connected to a home network, It is easy to develop and it is possible to provide a home automation service which is becoming more and more advanced as the number of constituent devices increases without changing the logic of individual devices.
1 is a flow chart illustrating a home automation service method performed in a home automation service system;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining an example of a home automation service. FIG.
While the present invention has been described in connection with certain exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and similarities. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of known related arts will be omitted when it is determined that the gist of the present invention may be unnecessarily obscured. In addition, numerals (e.g., first, second, etc.) used in the description of the present invention are merely an identifier for distinguishing one component from another.
Also, in this specification, when an element is referred to as being "connected" or "connected" with another element, the element may be directly connected or directly connected to the other element, It should be understood that, unless an opposite description is present, it may be connected or connected via another element in the middle.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention, the same reference numerals are used for the same means regardless of the number of the drawings.
1 is a flowchart illustrating a home automation service method performed in a home automation service system. The home automation service system can be composed of a plurality of devices, and each device can be connected to a home network and receive and execute commands for various functions. Also, in order to implement the collective artificial intelligence, each device may include a function of informing neighboring devices of a current state of the device and a state change due to command execution.
In this specification, each device may be an appliance itself installed in a house, such as a home appliance or a sensor, or may include a device that controls an installed device or interworks with an installed device.
Hereinafter, a home automation service method will be described with reference to FIG.
In step S110, the first device receives an operation command. For example, the user may input an operation command for a specific device including the first device or input an operation command directly to the first device using the user interface device of the home automation service system. Accordingly, the first device can receive the operation command via the home network.
In step S120, the first device derives state change information according to command execution before executing the command.
In step S130, the first device transmits a notification message including the derived state change information to the second device. Here, the second device may be all peripheral devices except for the first device.
In step S140, the second device predicts the influence of the state change of the first device upon receipt of the state change information.
In step S150, the second device determines whether the influence of the predicted state change is a problem.
In step S160, if the effect of the state change is a problem, the second device transmits a reject message indicating rejection of the operation command of the first device to the first device.
In step S170, the first device does not execute an operation command upon receipt of the reject message. That is, the first device does not issue an operation command when one of the peripheral devices exercises veto power.
In step S180, if the effect of the state change does not matter, the second device ignores the received notification message.
In step S190, the first device determines whether all peripheral devices agree to perform the operation command of the first device. That is, when the first device does not receive any rejection message for vetoing the veto within a predetermined time after transmitting the notification message to the second device, the first device can regard the execution of the operation command of the first device as an agreement of all devices in the vicinity .
In step S200, the first device executes the corresponding operation command according to the agreement of all devices in the vicinity.
The advantages of the group artificial intelligence system that uses the veto power of these peripheral devices are that the complexity of each device development can be lowered and the more the devices connected to the periphery, the more efficient the home automation service system operates. On the other hand, in the case of not using a group artificial intelligence system that uses veto power, in order to control a peripheral device involved in the device itself, the device itself may be equipped with various sensors for clearly grasping the current peripheral state, The logic that takes into consideration various environmental factors such as which devices should communicate with each other must be implemented in advance, and this can not be changed, so that the home automation service can always be provided at the same level.
However, according to the present invention, each device simply controls other peripheral devices in accordance with its own state, just like a conventional home automation service system, and only when the state of devices controlled by the device changes , Only logic to the extent of determining whether to accommodate the change or not is added. Therefore, since the number of peripheral devices involved is the same as the existing one, the complexity does not increase significantly.
FIGS. 2 and 3 are views for explaining an example of a home automation service.
2, a home automation service is provided in which the user sets the door lock of the entrance door in the outgoing mode and automatically cleans the robot cleaner for one hour at the time of going out. However, . ≪ / RTI >
In the case of the existing home automation service, the door lock must be added to the function of grasping the current time, and it should be designed so as to judge whether or not to give a cleaning command to the current robot cleaner by using such time information.
However, in the present invention, the door lock is immediately given a cleaning command to the robot cleaner without having to grasp the time as in the conventional case. At this time, the robot cleaner also does not need any complicated logic or function, and will send a message to another device via the home network asking whether there is a device that is about to start cleaning soon, but refuses to do so. At this time, if the user does not want to operate the cleaner due to noise at a late time, a noise management clock for managing the noise of the home guidance may be additionally connected to the home network at a time. Noise management The clock can already contain logic to control the noise, such as a vacuum cleaner, washing machine, TV, radio, etc., so that if the vacuum cleaner works late at night, have. In addition, the noise management watch can be used to adjust the volume of a TV or a radio, such as to prevent a certain volume from becoming late at night or to change the actual volume change value according to the volume level of the TV or radio, Function.
In FIG. 3, it is assumed that a home automation service in which the fan operates automatically once every hour is provided when the air conditioner is operated.
By adding an air cleanliness sensor installed in the home automation service system to the outside of the house, the air cleanliness sensor can exercise the right to veto the operation of the ventilator when the air is polluted due to yellow dust or the like.
Furthermore, the exercise of veto power may have priority. That is, each device that exercises a veto can be given priority depending on whether it is for convenience, security, or safety. For example, it can be assumed that there are windows and doors that are blocked from accessing at a specific time by a security sensor and an access control clock. In this case, if a fire occurs inside the fire detection sensor and all the windows and doors are to be opened, even if a veto deny the open command by a security sensor, which is a device having a low priority for safety, is ignored, An instruction by a fire detection sensor which is a device having a high priority can be performed.
Meanwhile, a home automation service method according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in a form of a program command that can be executed through a variety of means for processing information electronically and recorded in a storage medium. The storage medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination.
Program instructions to be recorded on the storage medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be available to those skilled in the art of software. Examples of storage media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tape, optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, magneto-optical media such as floptical disks, magneto-optical media and hardware devices specifically configured to store and execute program instructions such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like. The above-mentioned medium may also be a transmission medium such as a light or metal wire, wave guide, etc., including a carrier wave for transmitting a signal designating a program command, a data structure and the like. Examples of program instructions include machine language code such as those produced by a compiler, as well as devices for processing information electronically using an interpreter or the like, for example, a high-level language code that can be executed by a computer.
The hardware devices described above may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be understood that the invention may be varied and varied without departing from the scope of the invention.
