Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for confirming the safety of a child in a home,

More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for notifying a registered guardian of the entrance of a child when the child enters and leaves the entrance of the main house or apartment building will be.

In recent years, more and more families are working. Children are also becoming more active in academies and outside activities for educational purposes as well as at schools. Because parents are always concerned about their children, they tend to see where their children are now in real time.

In order to respond to such parents' request to confirm their child's position, for example, in the case of a school or a school, there is an example of transmitting information such as a text message (SMS) that a child's school class is over to a parent's mobile phone or a smartphone. Further, for example, in the case of a student (student, school student, etc.) using an electronic access card in Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0035913 (published on April 30, 2004, a student access management service system using a network and a service method thereof) In which the output management of the service is performed in real time. As another example, Patent Registration No. 10-0739508 (July 9, 2007, location notification service system and method using multifunctional electronic identification card) is used to distribute a multifunctional electronic identification card to a student or a student, A technique has been known in which a terminal for reading an electronic ID card is installed at an affiliated shop to inform the service subscriber of the student's back /

However, in the case of the technology using such a specific IC card, ID card, and access card, there is a limitation that a separate facility or manpower is required to restrict access when the IC card is not presented to the entrance of the school or the school. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to apply it to a place which is relatively freely accessible, such as a door or a doorway of a house or apartment house.

On the other hand, as GPS positioning technology is widely used in recent years, there is a service that notifies the location of the child in real time. For example, Patent Registration No. 10-1037387 (registered on May 20, 2011, 'Child Care Service System') discloses a technique of identifying a child's position by attaching a location tracking device such as a GPS receiver to a child. However, using location tracking technology may have a limitation on the distance between the child and the parent, or it may be possible to infringe on the privacy of the child, There was a big problem.

The present invention eliminates the problems of the prior art such as the above-mentioned distance limitation and privacy invasion, and informs the guardian in real time that the child has returned home and home, so that the guardian can concentrate on his / I would like to suggest a technique to make

More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for verifying the safety of a child including a beacon, a beacon reader, a server, and a protector terminal, or a computer program for confirming the safety of a child working on the protector terminal, (Or application), method, and apparatus for a smartphone configured to perform the functions described herein.

According to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the problem of privacy infringement of a child and at the same time to satisfy a parent's child identification request. In addition, since it uses a beacon that can be attached to clothing or bag as an accessory, or can be worn as a necklace, the risk of loss of the sensor is low, and it is convenient to manage, and even if there is no special facilities or manpower, , Elderly people, and the like.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a business that operates a schooling vehicle from a facility such as a kindergarten, a kindergarten, a school, a school, or an elderly care center to a home, , Infants, children, students, elderly people, elderly people, etc. who are entrusted to care of their clients by downloading and installing apps that are installed on smart phones installed in each vehicle, To provide positional information of the user.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for notifying a registered guardian of a child's entrance when a child enters and leaves the entrance of a house gate and a multi-family house. .

The present invention relates to a child rest assured system including a beacon, a beacon reader, a server, and a parent terminal, or a computer program for confirming a child rest assured of working on a parent terminal, (Or application), method and apparatus for a configured smartphone.

In general, a beacon is a short range communication technology for a mobile device that is based on a Bluetooth communication scheme and which allows to identify the location of a user within a range of about 50 to 70 meters from a beacon. The beacon is much longer than the transmission and reception range (about 20 cm) of NFC (proximity wireless communication) for contactless payment or identification of traffic cards and tickets, and has a low power consumption and low terminal cost. I have. Furthermore, beacons are generally divided into BLE (Bluetooth low power) and hybrid methods, and there are also beacons using sound. A BLE-style beacon can output a signal when Bluetooth is turned on in a smartphone. In addition, smartphones have the advantage that they can be used as basic functions in iOS 7.1 or later and Android 4.3 or later. The hybrid beacon is a combination of BLE and high frequency, which can send out signals even when the Bluetooth of the smartphone is turned off. This is because the high frequency temporarily activates the app. It supports all Android operating systems and can be used for almost all terminals except for some older smartphones.

The present invention detects user information using a beacon, and the detected user information can be transmitted to a guardian terminal by a server. To this end, the server can create, maintain, and manage a database (DB) including the identification information of each beacon, the area (building, house, etc.) where the beacon is installed, the user information, and the guardian information. Information registered and stored in the server may be input by the guardian or may be provided to the server by the guardian or the user with the consent of the guardian and the user. The server may be, for example, a web server operating a web site through which a mobile device such as a smart phone or a tablet or a personal computer such as a notebook computer or a desktop computer can access through a wired or wireless Internet web environment.

In the present invention, a user corresponds to a "child" and includes, for example, a school or a school-based student, but is not limited to, a preschool child, a kindergarten, or a kindergarten child enough to move away from the parent. A user may have a terminal capable of transmitting data to a server through a communication network such as the Internet, such as a smart phone, or may have only a beacon device as another example. Furthermore, the user need not be limited to 'children' in the present invention. For example, a disabled person, an elderly person, a patient, etc. who need protection of a parent or a guardian may be included.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the guardian can cope with the parent or the corresponding guardian, caregiver, teacher, and the like. The caregiver should be associated with guardian contact information that can receive data from the server over a communication network such as the Internet, such as a cell phone, a smart phone, a laptop, a desktop computer, a personal computer, and the like. In other words, the expression 'the server provides the user information to the guardian' is used herein to mean that the server is configured to store the guardian contact information associated with the guardian, for example, SNS (social network service) information such as a telephone number, Which means transmitting user information.

A beacon reader is a device that can receive a beacon inherent value from a beacon and is a device for receiving a beacon inherent value from a beacon, such as a single-family house, a multi-family house or a multi-family house such as an apartment complex And may be installed at the gate or entrance of the terminal. In this case, the beacon may be a device carried by the user. For example, a parent (guardian) may have a beacon device in the form of an accessory attached to the bag of a child (elementary school student). Such a beacon device can be continuously operated by a small battery. In other words, the beacon device stores specific beacon data and can periodically broadcast beacon data while power is supplied by the battery.

As another example, or the beacon reader may be a computer software program or an application that is installed in a terminal such as a smart phone and operates to receive beacon data from the beacon. In this case, you can install the Beacon Reader app on your smartphone and run it in the background while your smartphone is powered on. In this case, the beacons can be installed in gates or entrances of single-family homes, multi-family homes or apartment houses, such as apartment complexes.

As described above, for example, a device installed at the entrance of an apartment complex may be a beacon reader or a beacon. In either case, when the beacon reader receives a beacon inherent value from the beacon, it can transmit the beacon reader inherent value along with the beacon inherent value received by the server over a communication network such as the Internet. The server inquires user information and parental information stored in advance in the database based on the received beacon inherent value and the beacon reader inherent value, and displays the parental contact information (e.g., phone number, SNS information, email address Etc.) can be identified. The server can then send the user information to the guardian.

According to the present invention, the 'user information' includes information that the user has entered the house and information that the user has entered the house. In order to identify these two pieces of information, in the present invention, two or more beacons (or beacon readers) installed at predetermined intervals with a main door of a house can be used. The interval between two beacons (e.g., beacon A and beacon B) can be freely set. For example, a single beacon A may be installed in front of the front door of an apartment complex, and a plurality of beacons B may be installed at a plurality of outlets in the apartment complex, respectively. Here, the beacon A and the beacon B do not necessarily refer to a single beacon. In other words, beacon A or beacon B may include one or more physically independent beacons.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a service for returning a child's relief through an affiliated shop. In other words, it is possible for a kindergarten or a school to register as a franchisee on a server that provides services for children's relief home, and to provide a safe home service to the children's parents. This means that when a vehicle operated by a franchisee for the commuting of a primitive child (child) goes to a foster home (out-to-start), the foster car arrives at a franchisee, At the time of the training time, when the student takes the aboriginal to take home (return-departure), and when the vehicle arrives at the aboriginal house and drops the aboriginal (return-arrives) You can tell your child's location to the protector's terminal.

Hereinafter, the sensor reader corresponds to a beacon reader, the portable user sensor and the vehicle attachment sensor correspond to a beacon, and the terminal that can read the sensor corresponds to a smart phone having an application-type beacon reader ≪ / RTI >

FIG. 1 illustrates a case where a sensor reader is installed in a main door of a house and a child has a sensor with no Internet. FIG. 2 illustrates a case where a sensor is installed in a house and a child has a terminal capable of accessing the Internet. 3 and Fig. 4 illustrate cases where a school bus carrying a child is passed near the entrance or main gate of a house.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view for explaining an environment in which a child rest assured in a home and a multi-family home according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, two sensor readers (ⓐ, ⓑ) are installed inside and outside a housing main body, and a user (child) holds a sensor (ⓒ) with no internet. When the user holds the ⓒ and comes out of the house and approaches the door, ⓐ senses ⓒ and transmits the eigenvalue of ⓐ and the eigenvalue of ⓒ to the server (server). If the user passes through the main text, ⓑ is detected by ⓑ, and ⓑ is transmitted to the server with the eigenvalue of ⓑ and the eigenvalue of ⓒ.

From the server's perspective, the following four situations can be identified.

A1: If ⓒ is detected more than once by ⓐ, then it is detected by ⓑ: Go out

A2: If ⓒ is sensed more than one time from ⓑ and then detected by ⓐ:

A3: If ⓒ is detected only by ⓐ for a certain period of time:

A4: If ⓒ is detected only by ⓑ for a certain period of time:

Since A1 indicates that ⓒ has moved from position ⓑ to position ⓑ, if ⓒ is detected by ⓑ, the server queries the database and fetches the parent information stored in correspondence with ⓒ, (E.g., an SMS message, a KakaoTalk message, or a dedicated app message) to all of the "guardian's terminal"

A2 (return) indicates that ⓒ has moved from position ⓐ to position ⓐ. Therefore, if ⓒ is detected by ⓐ, the server queries the database and fetches the parental information stored in correspondence with ⓒ, (E.g., an SMS message, a KakaoTalk message, or a dedicated app message) to all registered "guardian terminals"

FIG. 2 is a schematic view for explaining an environment in which a child rest assured in a home and a multi-family home according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, two sensors (ⓐ and ⓑ) are installed inside and outside the main house door, and a user (child) holds a sensor terminal (ⓒ) supported by the Internet. When the user comes home from the house with ⓒ and approaches the main door, ⓒ senses ⓐ and delivers the eigenvalues of ⓐ and ⓒ to the server (server). If the user passes the main text, ⓑ is detected by ⓒ, and ⓒ delivers the eigenvalue of ⓑ and the eigenvalue of ⓒ to the server.

From the server's perspective, the following four situations can be identified.

B1: If ⓒ detects ⓑ after detecting ⓐ more than once: Go out

B2: If ⓒ detects ⓐ after detecting ⓑ more than once:

B3: If ⓒ detects only ⓐ for a certain period of time:

B4: If ⓒ detects ⓑ only for a certain period of time:

Since the state (outgoing) in B1 indicates that ⓒ has moved from the position ⓐ to the position ⓑ, if ⓒ detects ⓑ, the server queries the database and fetches the custody information stored in correspondence with c, (E.g., using an SMS message, a KakaoTalk message, or a dedicated app message) to all "guardian's terminal"

B2 (return) indicates that ⓒ has moved from position ⓐ to position ⓐ. Therefore, if ⓒ detects ⓐ, the server queries the database and fetches the custody information stored in correspondence with c, (E.g., using an SMS message, a KakaoTalk message, or a dedicated app message, etc.) to all "guardian's terminal"

FIG. 3 is a schematic view for explaining an environment in which a child rest assured in a home and a multi-family home according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a case where a sensor reader (a) is installed in the front door of an apartment, a sensor (c) is attached, and a school bus carrying a user (child) passes through a housing access road. When a school bus carrying a child passes through the front door of the apartment with ⓒ attached, ⓐ detects ⓒ of the school bus and delivers the eigenvalue of ⓐ and the eigenvalue of ⓒ to the server.

The server confirms whether the inherent value of the received ⓒ is contained in the database (vehicle sensor DB) in the database. If it is included, ⓔ (Questionnaire DB for each vehicle sensor) inquires the list of children on board. Then, after the guardian information corresponding to the guardian information corresponding to the child (guardian DB corresponding to the child) is downloaded, the guardian information is transmitted to all the "guardian's terminal" registered in the guardian information (for example, SMS message, KakaoTalk message, A message can be sent to inform the student that the bus that the child boarded has passed through the apartment.

FIG. 4 is a schematic view for explaining an environment in which a child rest assured in a home and a multi-family home according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a case in which one sensor (ⓐ) is installed at the front door of an apartment, a sensor bus (ⓒ) is attached, and a school bus carrying a user (child) passes through a housing access road. When a school bus carrying a child passes through the front door of the apartment with ⓒ attached, ⓐ is detected by ⓒ of the school bus and ⓒ delivers to the server the eigenvalue of ⓐ and the eigenvalue of ⓒ.

The server confirms whether the inherent value of the received ⓐ is contained in the database (vehicle sensor DB) of the database. If it is included, ⓔ (Questionnaire DB for each vehicle sensor) inquires the list of children on board. Then, after the guardian information corresponding to the guardian information corresponding to the child (guardian DB corresponding to the child) is downloaded, the guardian information is transmitted to all the "guardian's terminal" registered in the guardian information (for example, SMS message, KakaoTalk message, A message can be sent to inform the student that the bus that the child boarded has passed through the apartment.

FIG. 5 is a schematic view for explaining an environment in which a child rest assured in a house or apartment house including an affiliated store according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Referring to Fig. 5, a system configuration for a child rest home service via a franchise point, which can be provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, is shown.

In the illustrated example, the relieved home service server 50 generates, maintains, and manages the merchant DB 51, the fixed beacon DB 52, the mobile beacon DB 53, and the guardian DB 54. The server 50 can provide a website for the merchant terminal 10 to access and register as a member. The merchant accesses the server 50 in the Web environment of the Internet using the merchant terminal 10 such as a smart phone or a personal computer, and then stores the merchant vehicle information, the station information of the merchant car, the merchant information of the franchisee, Can be registered. The server 50 can create the database 51-54 based on the information provided by the merchant.

The merchant terminal 10 installs an app provided by the server 50 to the vehicle terminal 30 (for example, a smart phone or other computing device) mounted on the merchant's vehicle, The terminal 30 can be operated as a beacon reader apparatus. The franchisee can supply the respective beauties 20 with the mobile beacons 20 to be worn and the fixed beacon 40 is placed at the position where the franchisee vehicle stops (for example, in front of the house, in front of the apartment complex / And the maintenance and management of the fixed beacon 40 can be performed.

The mobile beacon 20 and the fixed beacon 40 are operated by a battery and can always broadcast their respective unique values, for example, in a Bluetooth manner. The unique value of the mobile beacon 20 includes merchant information, anomaly information, and parental information, and the unique value of the fixed beacon 40 may include corresponding location information, merchant information, have.
