Also, the information display unit 140 displays the heating hot water temperature / hot water temperature under the control of the display control unit 130 and displays the living information. The information display unit 140 preferably uses a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD).

Here, the information display unit 130 divides the display screen into first and second areas, displays information of the boiler such as the hot water temperature and the hot water temperature in the first area, .

More preferably, the information display unit 140 also displays the temperature change plan.

The memory 150 plays a role of storing a set function and acquired life information.

The operation of the room controller of the boiler according to the present invention will now be described in detail.

First, in order to use the boiler, the user turns on the boiler, selects the heating function or the hot water function by pressing the heating hot water button 101 or the hot water dedicated button 102 of the operation unit 110, Select the heating temperature or hot water temperature.

When the heating temperature and the hot water temperature are set, the display control unit 130 controls the operation of the boiler, detects the room temperature using the temperature sensor, and sets the heating temperature and the room temperature To control the operation of the boiler. At this time, the information display unit 140 displays boiler-related information such as a heating temperature, a room temperature, and a hot water temperature.

This operation is the basic operation of the boiler and can be said to be the same as that of the existing boiler.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a communication device is added to a general function of the boiler room controller as described above to acquire living information through communication with other information devices, displays living information through a room controller, The temperature change plan is determined so as to judge whether the set temperature is appropriate.

This will be described in more detail as follows.

For example, when the boiler is driven, the communication unit 120 connects with other information devices through communication. Here, it is assumed that the communication is short-range wireless communication. When connection is made with other information devices (smart phone, smart pad, notebook, notebook computer, etc.) through short-range wireless communication, life information is requested. The living information includes a living index, weather information, date information, and the like.

And acquires the living information from other information devices, and transmits the living information to the display control unit 130. [ The information collecting module 133 of the display control unit 130 stores the acquired living information in the memory 150. [ In addition, the display module 136 displays the living information acquired in accordance with the control of the control module 134 on the information display unit 140. At this time, the information display unit 140 divides the display screen into the first area 141 and the second area 142, and displays information of the boiler such as the hot water temperature and the hot water temperature in the first area 141 And the second area 142 displays the living information.

FIG. 2A is an example of a screen in which boiler information is displayed in the first area 141, weather information and life index information are displayed in the second area 142, and FIG. 2B is an example of a screen in which boiler information is displayed in the first area 141 And the date information is displayed in the second area 142. In the example of FIG.

Next, when the living information is obtained, the display control unit 130 calculates an optimal temperature change plan based on the living information acquired by the temperature change plan display module 135, and outputs the calculated temperature change plan presentation information to the display module 136. [ To display on the screen.

For example, when the user sets the heating temperature, it is determined whether the heating temperature set by the user is appropriate based on the weather information. If the heating temperature set by the user is not appropriate, the optimum temperature changing plan is calculated and presented. Here, the user generally sets a constant heating temperature without considering the current weather. In this case, if the weather information such as the outside air temperature is changed even if the heating temperature is the same, the temperature sensed by the user is changed. Therefore, the present invention analyzes whether the heating temperature set by the user is proper based on living information such as the outside air temperature, and when the temperature is not proper, the optimal heating temperature based on the outside air temperature is presented to the user in the temperature change. Thus, the user judges that the heating temperature set by the user is too high or too low, and re-sets the temperature so that the user always lives in a pleasant environment.

In other words, when the user sets the heating temperature at 25 ° C, it is assumed that the outside air temperature is minus 3 ° C. At this time, the user assumes that the sensible temperature he feels is optimal. Assuming that the ambient temperature is 5 ° C, the user will feel that the sensation temperature is not optimal but hot. If the ambient temperature is minus 10 ° C, the user will feel cold. Therefore, the present invention assumes the sensation temperature sensed by the user according to the ambient temperature, and presents an optimal temperature based on the weather information included in the living information.

The temperature change proposal is displayed on the information display unit 140.

Therefore, the user can maintain the optimal environment by changing the heating temperature by using the recommended temperature change draft.

Referring to FIG. 5, (a) (C) controlling the display of the temperature information and the display of the living information according to the boiler drive, and (d) the step (S50) of connecting the acquired living information to the base (S60 to S70) of calculating and presenting a temperature change draft.

The method of controlling the room air conditioner of the boiler according to the present invention will now be described in detail.

First, in step S10, in order to use the boiler, the user turns on the boiler and presses the heating hot water button 101 or the hot water exclusive button 102 of the operation unit 110 to perform the heating function or the hot water function And selects the heating temperature or the hot water temperature.

When the function of the boiler is selected and the heating temperature and the hot water temperature are set, the display control unit 130 controls driving of the boiler at step S20, detects the room temperature using the temperature sensor, And controls the operation of the boiler. At this time, the information display unit 140 displays boiler-related information such as a heating temperature, a room temperature, and a hot water temperature.

This operation is the basic operation of the boiler and can be said to be the same as that of the existing boiler.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a communication device is added to a general function of the boiler room controller as described above to acquire living information through communication with other information devices, displays living information through a room controller, The temperature change plan is determined so as to judge whether the set temperature is appropriate.

This will be described in more detail as follows.

For example, when the boiler is driven, the communication unit 120 communicates with other information devices in step S30. Here, it is assumed that the communication is short-range wireless communication. When connection is made with other information devices (smart phone, smart pad, notebook, notebook computer, etc.) through short-range wireless communication, life information is requested. The living information includes a living index, weather information, date information, and the like.

When the living information is obtained from the other information devices in step S40, the living information is transmitted to the display control unit 130. [ The information collecting module 133 of the display control unit 130 stores the acquired living information in the memory 150. [ In addition, the display module 136 displays the living information acquired in accordance with the control of the control module 134 on the information display unit 140 in step S50. At this time, the information display unit 140 divides the display screen into the first area 141 and the second area 142, and displays information of the boiler such as the hot water temperature and the hot water temperature in the first area 141 And the second area 142 displays the living information.

Next, when the living information is obtained, the display control unit 130 calculates an optimal temperature change plan based on the living information acquired by the temperature change plan display module 135 in step S60, and displays the temperature change plan presentation information On the screen through the display module 136.

For example, when the user sets the heating temperature, it is determined whether the heating temperature set by the user is appropriate based on the weather information. If the heating temperature set by the user is not appropriate, the optimum temperature changing plan is calculated and presented. Here, the user generally sets a constant heating temperature without considering the current weather. In this case, if the weather information such as the outside air temperature is changed even if the heating temperature is the same, the temperature sensed by the user is changed. Therefore, the present invention analyzes whether the heating temperature set by the user is proper based on living information such as the outside air temperature, and when the temperature is not proper, the optimal heating temperature based on the outside air temperature is presented to the user in the temperature change. Thus, the user judges that the heating temperature set by the user is too high or too low, and re-sets the temperature so that the user always lives in a pleasant environment.

The temperature change proposal is displayed on the information display unit 140.

Therefore, the user can maintain the optimal environment by changing the heating temperature by using the recommended temperature change draft.
