As a result, the 4D motion chair does not need to be wired separately when replacing or adding 4D motion chairs, and 4D motion chairs are equipped with motion control module and chair wireless communication module so that 4D auditorium system can be realized by simple measures .

In addition, the 4D theater system incorporating the Internet of Things according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the 4D motion chair, the chair wireless communication module, the 4D effect device, And wirelessly communicates with the control server.

More specifically, a controller assigning an IP for each site-specific device can be attached to each 4D motion chair and device. At this time, the device for assigning IP may include all open source-based microcontrollers (ex: Arduino, Raspberry, etc.). Through the IP attached to the device, each of the 4D motion chairs and effects devices can send and receive its own status information to the control server in real time, and the control server is able to distinguish 4D motion chairs or 4D effect devices It is possible to discriminate whether or not it is state information that is being transmitted or received.

For example, when the IP of the second-row motion chair of the first auditorium is given as 000.000.000.001, when the control server receives the status information transmitted from 000.000.000.001, It is immediately possible to confirm that the information is generated in the second motion chair of the first line of the first auditorium.

The 4D motion chairs 211 and 212 provided in the theater can not only move forward, backward, left and right, up and down, but also incorporate various effects that can be provided to the user.

For example, the 4D effect device may include at least one of a bubble machine, a blower machine, a flash effect device, a snow effect device, a non-effect device, a wind effect device, a fog effect device, a storm effect device, .

Therefore, the 4D effect device may not only vibrate and move, but also scatter water or generate fog, blowing cold winds into the storm, or blowing hot winds to enter a sand storm. In addition, the flashing device is blinked several times to make it possible to add various 4D effects such as feeling of lightening, bubble generation of the bubble device, or eye effect device.

The 4D effect devices 240, 241, 242, 243, and 244 of the present invention can be controlled according to the effect information. Such effect information may be received by the control server 271, 272, or the 4D effect device may be received and stored directly from the central server. The apparatus may further include an effect device control module, wherein the effect device control module may control the 4D effect device based on the effect information and the content context.

In addition, the 4D auditorium system of the present invention may further include a sensor module 260. The sensor module can monitor the 4D effect device status information in real time, and various sensor modules can be used according to various kinds of effect devices.

More specifically, the sensor module of the present invention may include at least one of a sound sensor module, an obstacle sensor module, an ultrasonic sensor module, a humidity sensor module, a flame detection module, and a piezoelectric sensing module.

In particular, the sensor module may be a sensor module corresponding to the 4D effect device in which the sensor module is installed. For example, a 4D effect device of a hot air device may include a temperature sensing module, and a 4D effect device of a non-effect device may comprise a humidity sensor module. The sensor module monitors the current status information of each installed 4D effect device in real time and transmits the monitored status information to the control server.

The control servers 271 and 272 can integrally control the 4D motion chair, the chair wireless communication module, the 4D effect device, and the effect device wireless communication module wirelessly. At this time, one control server may be disposed inside the auditorium, or a plurality of control servers may be disposed. In addition, one may be disposed in a multiplex including a plurality of auditoriums, or a plurality of control servers may be arranged for each auditorium.

The central server 280 can manage a plurality of control servers in an integrated manner. At this time, the central server is not necessarily required, and the control server may independently control and manage the 4D theater system. One central server and a plurality of control servers may be included in one auditorium and a 4D auditorium system may be managed by one or more control servers in a single auditorium without a central server.

5 is a flowchart for extracting error information of a 4D theater system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the 4D system control software starts, a plurality of modules constituting the system are connected by wireless communication. It checks the power and communication status of the module, and when the normal connection is established, it detects the status information of the module. You can check if the module contains components (solution, battery charge, flash status, etc.), and issue a reset command if it is running too much. Upon final confirmation of the module's steady state, the preparation for the movie to be screened is terminated.

When a movie starts, the modules of each 4D motion chair or 4D effect device are checked at predetermined time intervals, and real time monitoring is made to see if error information occurs. Then, when the end of the screening is completed, the state of the modules at the ending time is checked. If the abnormal state is detected, the abnormal state is restored.

The 4D motion chair or the 4D effect device of the present invention monitors the 4D motion chair state information or the 4D effect device state information in real time and transmits the error information to the control server when predetermined error information is generated .

The error information can include any situation where the 4D motion chair or the 4D effect device is inoperable. For example, if the legs of the 4D motion chair are broken, all of the effect components of the 4D effect device are exhausted, or the 4D motion chair is excessively large or too small, .

For example, if the 4D effect device uses a solution, the 4D effect device may be implemented as a bubble machine, a non-effect device, a fog effect device, or the like. At this time, the 4D effect device may output solution error information when the solution is less than a predetermined amount, and may transmit the solution error information to the control server.

In the case of a 4D effect device such as a bubble machine, a non-effect device, and a fog effect device, the fog solution, the bubble solution, and the non-solution should be replenished periodically. In the conventional 4D theater system, And 4D effect device, and visually confirmed.

In the present invention, when the amount of the solution is reduced to a predetermined amount (ex. 20% of the maximum amount), the solution error information is output and transmitted to the control server. Therefore, after finishing the screening, the person in charge or manager can fill the 4D effect device or the 4D motion chair with the solution. At this time, the method of measuring the amount of the solution enables the real time check of the solution titration using a float level switch med.

In addition, the 4D auditorium system of the present invention may further include a solution supply device for supplying the solution to the 4D effect device. The solution supply device is connected to the 4D effect device so that the solution used by the 4D effect device can be supplied seamlessly. In particular, when the solution error information is outputted, the solution supply device supplies the solution only to the corresponding 4D effect device so that the automatic filling system can be implemented.

In addition, when the 4D effect device is a flash effect device, the 4D auditorium tube system of the present invention should be replaced after a certain period of time. The control device of the present invention can detect the replacement timing of the lamp in real time and can notify the manager of the replacement timing through the process of checking the light emission amount measuring sensor or the own lamp.

In addition, the 4D theater system incorporating the Internet of Things according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the 4D motion chair or the 4D effect device monitors whether or not the error information is generated for each predetermined period. Since the operation of the 4D motion chair or the 4D effect device can be performed within a very short time even in the movie contents, it is possible to monitor whether or not error information occurs every cycle of 1 second to 10 seconds.

In the case of a 4D auditorium system incorporating the object Internet technology of the present invention, any one of the devices constituting the system notifies the control server or the central server of the occurrence of an error, and rebooting or error It is possible to provide an optimal viewing environment to the audience who changes every 2-3 hours.

More specifically, when error information is generated in the motion chair state information of the 4D motion chair, the error information can be immediately transmitted to the control server and transmitted to the control center through the central server. At the NOC center, you can check the error information immediately and inform the site staff about the motion chair error via SMS or e-mail. After confirming the error information, the personnel can remotely control the maintenance or execute the self-repair program.

Similar to the 4D motion chair, when the 4D effect device generates error information in the 4D effect device status information, the 4D effect device transmits the corresponding error details to the control server so that the 4D effect device can take care of the person in charge.

At this time, in the 4D theater system according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the control server receives the error information, the 4D motion chair or the 4D effect device transmits a recovery command Is transmitted. The control server of the present invention first confirms whether the system can be restored. If it is determined that the system can not be restored, the control server clears the entire power supply by turning on / off the system so that the system error state can be resolved.

Many devices that make up the 4D auditorium system can probe their own initialization process or program. When error information is generated in the 4D motion chair state information or the 4D effect device state information, the control server generates an automatic restoration command of the corresponding device, and in response to the automatic restoration command, the 4D motion chair and the 4D effect Thereby allowing the device to escape from the error state.

Meanwhile, the 4D auditorium system of the present invention may further include a advance ticketing server 290. The advance ticketing server can manage the user reservation information and the user ticketing information of the auditorium and can control the 4D motion chair and the 4D effect device of the reserved / ticketed seat according to the user's advance / ticketing information.

In addition, the designated 4D motion chair or the designated 4D effect device can operate according to predetermined operation information according to the user advance information and the user's issued card issuing information. For example, in the winter, you can check whether the seats in the respective seats have been reserved, and have the seats on the 4D motion chair start up 5 minutes before the start of the movie. Likewise, in the summer, you can have the ventilation sheet run on the 4D motion chair from 5 minutes before the start of the movie.

Also, if the control server determines that the ineffective device is used a lot in the previous cycle, the 4D motion chair may have a lot of water. Accordingly, the control server can operate the ventilation device for a predetermined time after the end of the movie and before the start of the next movie to remove moisture and moisture.

At this time, it is possible to control the corresponding operation information only in the 4D motion chair pre-registered / issued and received by the advance ticketing server. Therefore, since the motion chair drive is performed only for the reserved / issued seats, unnecessary waste of energy can be prevented.

The embodiments of the present invention described above are disclosed for the purpose of illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereto. 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 and scope of the invention.
