Referring to FIG. 1, a smart sensing device 100 for pots according to the present invention may be formed such that one side thereof is inserted into the soil in the pot 10 and is spaced apart from the soil by a predetermined height. The smart sensing device 100 is supplied with an aqueous solution through the outer container 11, and discharges the aqueous solution into a gas or a liquid state. For example, the aqueous solution may contain various liquids such as water, an environment improving agent, and a gas liquid depending on a user's use. The smart sensing device 100 senses the dry state of the soil and the dry state of the indoor air, and can increase the humidity by spraying the air into the room in a gaseous state. In addition, the smart sensing device 100 can increase the humidity by discharging it into the soil in the pot 10 . The smart sensing device 100 may be driven by an internal power supply or an external power supply.

Hereinafter, the smart sensing apparatus 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2, a smart pot sensing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a state separation unit 110, an environment sensing unit 120, a display unit 130, and a control unit 140.

The state separating section 110 receives a liquid aqueous solution through the inlet 110-1 and discharges the aqueous solution in the form of gas or liquid through a plurality of outlets. The state-separating unit 110 converts the state of the aqueous solution into a liquid state or a gaseous state, and the controller 140 determines whether to discharge the aqueous solution in a liquid state or in a gaseous state. The state-separating unit 110 can vaporize the aqueous solution through ultrasonic vibration or heating and spray it into the air. In addition, the state-separating unit 110 may inject the aqueous solution into the soil within the flowerpot by a spraying method. A container can be coupled to the injection port 110-1 of the state separating unit 110 and the aqueous solution contained in the container is introduced into the state separating unit 110. [

The environmental sensing unit 120 senses environmental information including the humidity of the soil in the pot. The environment sensing unit 120 senses the humidity of the soil contained in the flower pot, and further, it is possible to sense the humidity of the room. The environmental sensing unit 120 has a built-in humidity sensor, so that it is possible to determine the humidity according to the depth of the soil. In addition, the environment sensing unit 120 may include a temperature sensor and a fine dust sensor. It is also possible to implement such that the temperature, humidity, fine dust concentration, etc. in the indoor environment can be detected in a comprehensive manner. The information on the environment of the pollen soil and the indoor air environment sensed by the environment sensing unit 120 is output to the control unit 140 described later.

The display unit 130 displays environment information in at least one of a symbol, a letter, and a graphic. For example, the display may be a display implemented by an LED or an LCD, or may be implemented in a flexible form. The display unit 130 outputs information on the pollutant soil or indoor air environment sensed by the environment sensing unit 120 through the control unit 140. Also, the display unit 130 may output characters set by the user or output an event corresponding to the event. For example, a character such as a "fire warning" may be displayed during a fire. The display unit 130 can change the contents displayed at a predetermined time interval by the control unit 140. [ It is also possible to display an image or the like through communication with an external terminal.

The control unit 140 controls the discharge of the aqueous solution in the form of gas in accordance with the environmental information or discharging the aqueous solution into the soil of the flowerpot. For example, when the indoor air is dry, it may be injected in a gaseous state through the state separating unit 110 to increase the humidity. In addition, when the soil in the flowerpot is dry, it can be discharged in a liquid state through the state separating unit 110. In addition, the controller 140 displays the indoor air condition and the state of the soil inside the flowerpot through the display unit 130 so that the user can easily check the environment information with the naked eye.

Accordingly, depending on the environment of the soil in the pollen and the environment of the indoor air, it is possible to discharge the aqueous solution to another state, thereby enabling pollen management and indoor air management at the same time.

3, the state detection unit 110 includes a storage unit 111, a gas discharge unit 112, and a liquid discharge unit 113. [

The storage unit 111 stores the aqueous solution injected through the injection port 110-1. In this case, one side of the storage unit 111 is connected to the gas discharge unit 112, and the other side is connected to the liquid discharge unit 113. A surface heating element (not shown) is formed on the outer surface of the storage part 111 to maintain the aqueous solution at a constant temperature. This can be selectively used when the aqueous solution needs to be maintained at a constant temperature. The capacity of the storage unit 111 may vary depending on the user's setting, and the external container or nozzle may be inserted into the injection port 110-1 to expand its capacity.

The gas discharge unit 112 discharges the aqueous solution into the gaseous state through the first discharge port 110-2 using ultrasonic vibration. The vaporization of a liquid aqueous solution into a gaseous state through ultrasonic vibration is the same as the principle of a general humidifier but is not limited thereto. The gas discharging unit 112 may heat the aqueous solution vaporized through the heating unit to a predetermined temperature. It is preferable that the first discharge port 110-2 of the gas discharge unit 112 can rotate in the up, down, left, and right directions so that the spray direction can be adjusted.

The liquid discharge portion 113 discharges the aqueous solution through the valve to the second discharge port 110-3. The second outlet 110-3 of the liquid discharge portion 113 is positioned to face the upper part of the flowerpot, and the amount of the discharge can be adjusted through regulation of the valve. The liquid aqueous solution discharged through the second outlet 110-3 may be sprayed by spraying. When the aqueous solution is discharged through the liquid discharge portion 113, the aqueous solution flowing into the gas discharge portion 112 may be blocked. It is preferable that the second discharge port 110-3 of the liquid discharge portion 113 can rotate in the up, down, left, and right directions to adjust the spraying direction.

In this case, the control unit 140 controls the environment sensing unit 120 to drive the liquid discharge unit 113 when the humidity of the pollen-based soil is lower than a preset humidity. In this case, the display unit 130 can display that the liquid discharge unit 113 is being driven. In addition, the control unit 140 controls the gas exhaust unit 112 to be driven when the indoor humidity is lower than the predetermined humidity through the environment detection unit 120. In this case, the display unit 130 can display that the gas discharge unit 112 is being driven. When the water level in the storage unit 111 is lowered to a certain height or lower, the display unit 130 may display an indication that the aqueous solution is insufficient.

In this case, the state separating unit 110, the environment sensing unit 120, the display unit 130, and the control unit 140 are the same as those in FIG. 2, so that a duplicate description will be omitted.

The image acquisition unit 150 acquires a thermal image for the object object. In this case, the image acquisition unit 150 may acquire a thermal image through the thermal sensor, or may sense thermal infrared rays to acquire a thermal image. The image acquisition unit 150 can transmit the acquired thermal image to the external terminal 20. The external terminal 20 can analyze the thermal image information of the detected object object and judge whether it is the infected person or not. In this case, it is possible to communicate with the external terminal 20 through the communication unit 160. [ The communication method may be short-range communication or network communication, but is not limited thereto. In this case, the control unit 140 controls the terminal 20 to transmit the image information and the environment information acquired from the image acquisition unit 150. The control unit 140 obtains judgment information on the presence or absence of the infected person from the external terminal 20 and outputs the obtained information to the display unit 130. [ For example, when a suspected patient is a mans infection, the phrase "Mans warning!" May be output through the terminal 20 and the display unit 130 outside. Accordingly, the user can confirm whether or not the infected person is infected when an outside person enters or exits.

In addition, the image acquisition unit 150 may sense the heat temperature of the indoor fire when it is generated, and may transmit the sensed temperature to the external terminal 20. In this case, the control unit 140 may emit a fire warning message and an LED through the display unit 130 to warn the user of the room of the danger. In addition, the control unit 140 may transmit the thermal image and the address information through communication with a predetermined external emergency disaster center such as a fire station, a police station, or the like. Accordingly, even if a fire occurs in a room, a fire can be reported quickly.

The image acquiring unit 150 photographs an object object by moving the camera vertically and horizontally in a hemispherical shape. This is for photographing a person in the room, and it is possible to photograph a user who is sensed in the room by moving the camera at predetermined time intervals. It is preferable that the image acquisition unit 150 incorporates an illumination intensity sensor. The image acquisition unit 150 acquires an image by sensing movement of a person and transmits the image to the external terminal 20 through the communication unit 160. A user who uses the external terminal 20 can remotely confirm whether there is an intruder who is not allowed in the room.

The sound output unit 170 outputs sound of a preset frequency. The sound output unit 170 may output sound stored in the internal memory or may output sound transmitted from an external terminal 20. For example, it is possible to output the voice of the user of the external terminal 20 through the sound emitting unit through the communication unit 160.

If there is an intrusion countermeasure instruction from the external terminal 20, the control unit 140 may track the intruder and control the intruder to inject a predetermined destruction agent. This can control the injection of the aqueous solution contained in the state-separating section 110 toward the intruder when the aqueous solution is a leaking solution. In this case, the order to kill can divide the body of the intruder and spray the destructive agent. It is preferable that the ejection orifice of the state-separating unit 110 is rotated vertically, horizontally, and laterally so that the repellent agent can be sprayed freely. Accordingly, when an intruder is detected in the room, the intruder can be evacuated by detecting the intruder and injecting the destructive agent.
