Description
The present invention relates to a smart boiler control system, and more particularly, to a smart boiler control system that enables real-time direct control of a user as well as operation according to a schedule learned in various ways so that a user's life pattern is reflected.
Generally, a boiler is used to supply hot water or heating water by burning fossil fuel such as gas or other pellet fuel, and usually keeps the room at a set temperature by operation of a room controller.
Meanwhile, in recent years, a function of controlling the boiler remotely or activating the boiler according to a schedule previously reserved by the user is added to the boiler so as to satisfy various needs of the user.
For example, in Korean Patent No. 1190437, a method of automatically controlling the amount of opening of a valve in each heating system through a learning function is provided with a learning function in each heating system to provide an automatic operation function in accordance with a piping length or an external environment condition .
In addition, Korean Patent No. 1489772 'Automatic management system of boiler cost using smartphone application' inputs a user's desired amount and basic information by using smartphone application, and the central server activates the consumer's boiler according to the inputted amount .
However, the above-described conventional technologies are merely performing a schedule operation according to an installed heating system or a planned heating cost, and thus can not provide schedules that actively reflect personal characteristics or life patterns of a boiler user.
In addition, although the scheduling is available for the scheduling operation through the learning, the parameters used for the learning method and learning do not vary, and the user can not provide a wide range of scheduling options.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a smart boiler control system capable of real-time direct control of a user as well as operation according to a schedule learned in various ways so that a user's life pattern is reflected.
To this end, the smart boiler control system according to the present invention includes a user schedule module for receiving a user schedule for operating the boiler directly from a user and activating the boiler according to the user schedule; A smart heating schedule module for receiving a smart heating schedule generated by analyzing at least one of a recording and an outside temperature at which the boiler B is operated according to the user schedule, and activating the boiler according to the smart heating schedule; A
In this case, the smart heating schedule module learns a temperature setting pattern of a boiler operated according to the user schedule to generate a schedule; An intelligent mode for generating a schedule based on the collected outdoor air temperature; And an average mode in which an average value is calculated by summing the schedules generated according to the learning mode and the intelligent mode.
In addition, the learning mode may further include a simple setting mode in which the user learns the results of the user's response to the questionnaire on various questionnaires provided to the user's mobile communication terminal in the user schedule module, and generates a schedule.
The mobile communication terminal may further include a
The
The present invention as described above allows a user to learn a pattern using a boiler in the past to create a schedule for current boiler control, and to enable various operations of the user based on the created schedule.
In addition, the present invention allows selection of various types of schedules such as a learning mode reflecting the temperature control of the user, an intelligent mode reflecting the outside air temperature, an average mode averaging the learning mode and the intelligent mode, and a mode using the survey result.

Hereinafter, a smart boiler control system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the smart boiler control system of the present invention controls the operation of the boiler B and enables real-time direct control using the mobile communication terminal S or the room controller RC. In addition, automatic control is enabled according to a learned schedule so that the user's life pattern is sufficiently reflected.
The smart boiler control system of the present invention may be installed in the room controller RC that activates the boiler B or may be installed in the
That is, the present invention can be implemented in a room controller (RC) due to the radical development of memory technology and microprocessor technology, but it is preferable that the present invention is installed in the
Of course, some functions of the present invention may be distributed to the room controller (RC) and the
At this time, the present invention collects and learns user patterns such as the operating state of the boiler B (for example, heating temperature, going out, sleeping, bathing, etc.). In addition, environmental conditions such as weather and temperature are collected and learned such as outdoor temperature provided from the weather station server W-S.
Therefore, a schedule for controlling the current boiler B is learned by fully learning the characteristics of the user, the life pattern or the outside air condition, and the reserved operation of the boiler B is enabled based on the created schedule.
Figure 2 shows the various boiler (B) operating modes provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the smart boiler control system of the present invention is largely divided into a schedule control and a user's real-time direct control.
The schedule control means that the schedule operation is repeatedly performed during the set period, and the direct control means that the user controls in real time. Since direct control takes precedence over schedule control, schedule control is interrupted in direct control.
At this time, the schedule control provides user schedule, smart heating schedule, outgoing learning schedule, and sleep / weather schedule. It also includes a push service for notifying the mobile communication terminal S of the above-described schedule control or the operation state by direct control.
The user schedule is a schedule set by the user directly through the mobile communication terminal S or the room controller (RC), and the smart heating schedule is an automatically generated schedule by collecting and learning information such as a user's life pattern or outdoor temperature .
As will be described later, the smart heating schedule includes a learning mode in which the temperature setting pattern of the user schedule is learned, an intelligent mode in which the outdoor air temperature is collected, and an average mode in which the intelligent mode is averaged. The learning mode includes two types of user schedules and questionnaires related to the learning mode, including simple setting by questionnaire.
Furthermore, the present invention further includes a sleeping / meteorological learning schedule in which a sleeping out time and a sleeping sleep time are learned in addition to a smart heating schedule, an outgoing learning schedule in which outgoing times such as repetitive day work are learned, and a sleep / weather learning schedule.
In addition, in providing the user schedule, the smart heating schedule, and the outgoing learning schedule service, the present invention of providing various schedules as described above can be used together with any two or more schedules according to the user's selection.
For example, user schedule + smart heating schedule, smart heating schedule + outgoing learning schedule, user schedule + smart heating schedule + outgoing learning schedule can be used together.
However, it is preferable that these schedules are applied together so long as the time and mode are not overlapped with each other, and if applied, the user schedule directly reflecting the user's preference takes precedence.
3, the smart boiler control system of the present invention includes a
In addition, the present invention further includes the
In addition, the present invention can receive a user's command at home through a control touch screen or a push button provided in the room controller (RC) itself, but it is preferable that the mobile communication terminal S (e.g., a smart phone) The user's command is input.
Accordingly, when the user logs in the mobile communication terminal S having the application installed therein and selects class management in each mode as shown in FIG. 4, the user can input, select, or modify the schedule by date.
At this time, the
As shown in FIG. 5, a schedule setting screen is provided when the mobile communication terminal S having an application is installed, and the user can directly input a schedule or add other schedule events by touching a schedule service setting button on the screen.
The layout of the user input schedule screen can be changed according to the horizontal or vertical screen. In one embodiment, the user can set the schedule in units of 30 minutes for each day and date.
These user schedules can be divided into various schedules such as room temperature registration, room temperature correction / deletion, one-time room temperature, outgoing setting, specific day and time out, daily and weekday out, sleep / Can be set.
Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the user schedule can be set for each of the indoor mode, the outgoing mode, the sleep mode, and the bath mode, and the schedule can be set for the combined mode such as bathing after bathing and after bathing.
FIG. 7 illustrates an example in which a user schedule is set for each of the indoor mode (room temperature), the outgoing mode, the sleep mode, and the bath mode. At this time, the one-time schedule is a schedule that is applied only once, not a repeated schedule, and is not reflected in the learning or user pattern analysis described later.
Next, the smart
The recording in which the boiler B is operated according to the user schedule means a temperature pattern in which the boiler B is operated according to the user set temperature in the
In particular, the smart
9, the learning mode generates a schedule by learning the temperature setting pattern of the boiler B operated according to the 'user schedule', and the intelligent mode generates a schedule according to the collected current outdoor air temperature , And the average mode is a sum of the schedules generated according to the learning mode and the intelligent mode, and a schedule is generated by averaging the schedules.
Preferably, when the user selects the 'learning mode', the present invention reads the pattern of the user by weighting the preset boiler (B) set temperature, and generates a learning mode schedule through the learning process.
For example, if you are in the same week (for example, the first week of September 2014) and the same week (for example, the second week of September 2014) and for the first week after the same week (for example, the third week of September 2014) The weighted values are added to the set temperature, and the average value of the previous year is calculated.
Further, the average value of the year after the average of the set temperatures set in the previous week (for example, the first week of September 2015) this year is calculated, and the average value of the previous year average and the average value of this year calculated above are used, Read the user pattern for the second week of September.
By applying the weights to the setting data of the past user, the room temperature can be set by the user preference and the schedule can be set automatically.
In addition, the 'outdoor mode' collects the seasonal outdoor temperature from the weather station server (WS) and automatically generates the schedule according to the change of the outdoor temperature. Therefore, to provide.
In addition, since the 'average mode' calculates the schedule using the average values of the 'learning mode' and the 'outdoor mode', not only the user's subjective control based on the learning mode but also the objective control reflecting the variation value of the ambient temperature can be performed.
The
The control commands delivered in real time include various schedules including the user schedule and the smart heating schedule as described above, as well as the real-time direct control command of the user described with reference to FIG.
The user's real-time direct control command controls the boiler B according to the received command immediately after the command is received, unlike the schedule setting, and this direct control command has priority over the set schedule.
Therefore, the
In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, in the case of delivering a direct priority control command, the user can select whether to cancel the preset schedule automatically.
At this time, when the automatic cancellation is turned on in the mobile communication terminal S, all the schedules are canceled in the direct control. On the other hand, when the automatic cancellation is turned off, the schedule is restarted after stopping for a set time (for example, one hour) while performing direct control.
In the above description, only the method of using the user's temperature setting pattern in providing the learning mode in the smart
That is, the learning mode further includes a 'simple setting mode' in which a smart
As shown in FIG. 11, the user's mobile communication terminal S is provided with a questionnaire for setting a learning function. The questionnaire includes the type of residence, the number of rooms, the number of family members, whether they are sensitive to cold, whether they are going out, whether they are going out / leaving, bathing, using gas saving mode or not.
Therefore, according to the present invention, a schedule is generated by using a survey result in response to a questionnaire, so that a user can easily schedule a response simply by responding to a given question without having to perform complicated scheduling.
As shown in FIG. 12, the
The
Accordingly, the learning
However, the present invention provides a circular temperature meter (see FIG. 4) to the mobile communication terminal S to allow the user to intuitively control the boiler B and to perform a convenient GUI operation using the mode setting button or the reservation setting button It is desirable to provide an environment.
The
According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the learning
In addition, based on the analyzed user pattern, the user's behavior prediction, set temperature prediction, and mode conversion prediction are enabled, and the predicted data is reflected in the schedule for operating the boiler (B).
For example, it is possible to automatically control the boiler B so that the sleeping temperature desired by the user can be maintained from the sleeping time of the user determined by the learning to the waking up time. Based on the automatic control of the boiler B, To provide a basic system to provide.
In addition, the present invention enables various schedule settings using the
For example, it may be possible to increase the temperature of the bath beforehand by switching to the bath mode 30 minutes before the weather time, or to change to the outgoing mode automatically after the time of work, or to return to the home after work. So that the temperature can be raised.
In addition, when the user calls the schedule in relation to the temperature setting and the mode conversion through the mobile communication terminal S, the present invention collectively provides the schedules set in response to the user's call, Check and modify the schedule.
By providing the control environment preferentially to the user, the present invention can control the boiler B in a mode desired by the user during the period when an exception occurs other than a predetermined schedule such as an overseas travel.
In addition, when the boiler (B) operation mode is changed, the
When a user direct control command is inputted, for example, the sleep mode is automatically switched to the sleep mode. However, when a direct control command such as a sleep mode is inputted through the room controller RC or the mobile communication terminal S, Is canceled.
Similarly, when a direct control command such as a bath mode is input at the time of conversion to the sleep mode, the boiler B is switched to the bath mode having priority instead of the sleep mode. That is, the automatic mode (schedule) for a certain period of time after the direct control command is canceled. Then, when returning to the automatic mode, a notification message is transmitted.
