The system includes a main server 102 for performing remote control and monitoring of remote controllable devices 101, The server 102 is connected to the network 103 to control the remote control and monitoring of the main server 102. The digital signage 110 directly controls and controls an integrated controller And a wireless router (105) for remotely controlling the controlled object under the control of the integrated controller (120).

The integrated controller 120 is connected to the main server 102 through a network 103 to control the remote control and monitoring of the main server 102 and the controller 130 for directly controlling the digital signage 110. [ And an IoT controller 140 for controlling the object Internet appliance 104 in conjunction with the controller 130.

It is preferable that the controller 130 and the IOT controller 140 interface data by serial communication. It is further preferable that a display unit for displaying digital signage information is further provided, though not shown in the figure.

4, the controller 130 includes a digital signage control unit 131 for controlling and monitoring the remote controllable device 101 and directly controlling the digital signage 110, An input / output port unit 132 for performing data communication with the main server 102 through the network 103 under the control of the signage control unit 131, and a digital signage control unit 131, under the control of the digital signage control unit 131, And an HDMI output unit 133 for inputting and outputting data.

The input / output port unit 132 may include a USB port 132a, a micro SD port 132b, and an RJ45 port 132c.

The IoT controller 140 controls the object Internet appliance 104 under the control of the controller 130 and controls the IoT controller 141 to acquire information of the object Internet appliance 104. The IoT controller 141 Output terminals 142 and analog input / output terminals 143 for outputting control data to the object Internet device 104 under the control of the object Internet device 104 or receiving data sensed from the object Internet device 104, And a Wi-Fi module 144 for controlling the remote controlled device 107 via the wireless network.

Here, the control target device located remotely may include at least one of a power source device, a lighting device, and an air conditioner for controlling temperature / humidity.

Hereinafter, the operation of the smart signage system in which the Internet and digital signage technology according to the present invention are combined will be described in detail.

First, the integrated controller 120 of the smart signage system, which integrally controls the object Internet system and the digital signage system, monitors the status of each IoT terminal through interlocking with the controller 130 and the IoT controller 140.

For example, the digital signage control unit 131 of the controller 130 controls the status of IOT devices such as a lamp of each terminal connected to the main server 102 through the network 103 via the input / output port unit 132, Monitoring. Furthermore, the IoT controller 140 monitors the status of a power supply device, a lighting device, an air conditioner, and the like as a Wi-Fi control function through the IoT controller 141, And monitors it in the state of the object Internet device 104. [

The digital signage control unit 130 downloads schedules of the respective terminals connected to the main server 102 through the network 103 and downloads schedules of each terminal from the main server 102 through the network 103 Control to check.

In addition, the digital signage control unit 131 controls the IoT and the digital signage device of each terminal. The digital signage device directly controls through the HDMI output unit 133, and the IoT devices are controlled through interlocking with the IoT controller 140.

For example, at the time of controlling the IoT device, the IP input screen of the network is generated when each icon is executed while inputting the IP to which the device is connected in a version controlling the IoT device, IoT device control is performed when an item is input.

IoT device control is performed by selecting a specific IoT device by using ID, PW, and IP address and controlling lighting on / off control, PC on / off control, motorized screen up / down control, projector on / off control, / Off control, cooling / heating on / off control, program setting is also possible.

Here, the controller 130 and the IOT controller 140 interface data by serial communication.

Here, the integrated controller 120 also has an advantage that it can easily add various products and services by monitoring and controlling the contents through a smart phone (Android, iOS), web (Android, iOS).

5 is a connection state diagram of the integrated controller 120, which incorporates an APK for IoT / digital signage control, directly controls digital signage via HDMI, and outputs various sensors (temperature sensor, humidity sensor, Monitors, and controls various devices (lighting devices, power supplies, air conditioners, etc.) through a wired / wireless router using a Wi-Fi module.

Meanwhile, the integrated controller 120 has various functions for digital signage control.

For example, pictures, videos, text, and web pages can be displayed through a DID monitor (digital signage display). At this time, various data can be displayed through screen division. When the screen is divided into two or more, different types of contents are displayed on the screen on the bottom of the divided screen. Here, as a method of displaying different kinds of contents on the screen, it is possible to display them on the screen according to the respective contents types. For example, pictures can be displayed between pictures, and videos can be displayed on a screen between videos in units of seconds or hours.

In addition, it is possible to interact with contents, so that it is possible to insert photographs and video contents into video contents, and to interact with web and text in different ways. In other words, it is impossible to insert other contents than text, and it is possible to change the text as a picture and change it as other contents.

As another function, a general digital signage system can not change between webs if the screen can not be changed differently from other contents. For example, when a Naver web page is displayed on the screen, it is possible to search for web information and browse the information in the Naver page, but it is not possible to sequentially change the screen in units of Naver-> Next-> Naite.

FIG. 6 is an example of content display of digital signage. The left side shows contents such as a moving picture and a photograph, and the right side shows a web page. In the contents display, , And the web page display shows only one web page for the predetermined period.

On the other hand, the present invention enables real-time monitoring of web pages sequentially.

For example, the presentation of a web page requires a forced refresh because a real-time response is required. Accordingly, in the present invention, a web page itself responds in real time using HTML5, and a plurality of web pages (e.g., six) It is automatically displayed sequentially on the screen.

7 is a diagram showing a comparison between an existing web page presentation system and a web page presentation system of the present invention (a web page presentation system of the present invention).

The existing web page presentation system displays only one web page in a predetermined period, but the web page presentation system of the present invention can freely adjust the address and modification time of a desired web page by using the HTML5 source. This means that the digital signage system is not a technology that can be handled collectively by users, but must be produced by itself.

As described above, according to the present invention, a smart signage system that integrates Internet and digital signage technology can be classified into a smart internet system (IoT system) and a smart signage system System, it is possible to integrate two functions as a single system.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It is obvious to those who have.

The present invention is applied to a technology that fuses a Smart Internet system (IoT system) and a smart signage system constructed and operated as individual systems.
