Description

Bluetooth beacon styler {Bluetooth beacon Styler machine}

The present invention is a styler equipped with a Bluetooth beacon and a control module in order to enable the three products to communicate and operate the styler, the server and the terminal, and the user can easily find a place where the styler is installed, and the styler state on the server and the terminal ( Manufacturer, model number, in use, on standby, during trouble check, and when in use, send scheduled operation completion time, reservation information) It is a styler.

The owner of the styler is doing business by installing and operating a launderette and responding to the user's demand. The labor burden is also considerable because it provides the labor of the employee or the employee by installing a bill exchanger or a coin exchanger. In addition, the contents of the styler may be stolen, and a coin inserter may be installed in the styler.

Modern society has become an era of unmanned management due to the development of Internet information technology and the existence of Bluetooth beacons with wireless remote control.

This requires a styler with a Bluetooth beacon and a control module for unattended management.

The present invention is to realize saving of resources by complying with the global trend of the sharing economy, and to provide the user with the registered styler information in real time to the user for 24 hours and to install the styler in various places such as hotel schools to operate as an unmanned system. ” will be.

And the cost can be saved by eliminating the coin dispenser. It is also to prevent the loss of styler contents.

In addition, the present invention aims to improve economics by accurately grasping the styler use state in real time for both the system administrator and the owner user.

The present invention for achieving this object is to install a Bluetooth beacon and control module in the styler.

According to the present invention, the owner of the styler can install the styler in various places and operate it as an unmanned system, and the owner can drastically reduce the labor cost, and the user can use it at a place close to 24 hours and is not affected by the time limit and at a lower cost. It can be used, eliminating coin changers, bill exchangers or coin exchangers, preventing the loss of styler contents, and allowing both server administrators and styler owners and users to accurately and accurately understand the status of the styler in real time.

Singular expressions as used herein may also be intended to include the plural meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The term “and / or,” “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the items listed therein. The terms "comprising", "comprising", "comprising", "comprising", "having", "having", and the like have implicit meanings, and as such, these terms are defined by their features, integers, It specifies steps, actions, elements, and / or components and does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, actions, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. The steps, processes, and operations of a method described herein should not be construed as necessarily in their particular order as discussed or illustrated, unless the order of execution is specifically determined. . It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

In addition, each of the components 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 may be implemented as a hardware processor, respectively, the above components may be integrated into a single hardware processor, or the above components may be combined with each other. It may be implemented as a plurality of hardware processors.

The Bluetooth beacon 50 located in the building 30 or 40 may transmit beacon information including MAC address, signal strength (RSSI), and the like, which is identification information.

The communication method of the Bluetooth beacon may be a module supporting various communication methods or technical standards, for example, GSM, CDMA, WCDMA, HSDPA, LTE, WLAN, Wibro, Wimax, HSDPA, LTE, and the like. ), A module supporting near field communication such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), infrared communication (IrDA), UWB (Ultra Wideband), ZigBee, NFC, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct. However, since the present invention is not limited to the communication method, the communication methods listed above are only an embodiment.

The Bluetooth beacon module or the control module is not specific to the communication method or the control method but may be implemented in various ways.

1 to 10 are servers, the owner of the terminal 20 can register or modify the styler information (address, building name, floor, call, styler manufacturer, model number).

In addition, the user of the terminal 20 may search the styler information (address, building name, floor, arc, directions, styler manufacturer, model number, whether there is a failure, whether it is in use, whether there is a check, and the scheduled completion time).

The Bluetooth Beacon 40 in the Styler 30 provides server 10 and user 20 with location information so they can easily find the Styler 30.

The Bluetooth beacon 40 installed in the styler 30 can communicate with the terminal if the user terminal 20 inputs a barcode, QR code or unique identification number attached to the styler to the terminal 20 and the smart key stored in the Bluetooth beacon matches the smart key of the terminal. .

The Bluetooth beacon 40 embedded in the styler receives operation instruction information of the server 10 and the terminal 20.

The Bluetooth beacon 40 transmits the received indication information to the control module 50.

The control module 50 controls the styler to operate the styler according to the received instruction information.

The control module 50 transmits the styler operation result to the Bluetooth beacon 40.

The Bluetooth beacon 40 transmits the operation result received from the control module 50 to the server 10 and the terminal 20.

As a result, the Bluetooth beacon 40 exchanges information with the server 10, the user 20, and the control module 50.

Previously, user 20 had been able to use the styler product remotely by using Wi-Fi, but could not provide location information to an unspecified number because there was no function to exchange information with server 10. It was impossible to manage and it was difficult to use the styler for commercial use without a manager or coin dispenser.

Now, Server 10, Terminal 20, and Bluetooth Beacon 40 exchange information.

Location information can be provided to an unspecified number, history management for user 20 is possible through the server, and the styler can be easily used for unmanned system sales without an administrator or a coin input machine.

The server 10 sends the user 20 the status of the styler (smart key, manufacturer, model number, whether there is a failure, whether it is in use, whether it is checked, whether it is finished), and the styler user can retrieve it to use or schedule the styler at a convenient time. can do.

The server 10 also sends the owner 20 the status of the styler (smart key, manufacturer, model number, whether there is a failure, whether it is in use, whether it has been checked, and when it will be completed) so that the styler owner 20 can repair or inspect the styler.
