Referring to Figure 1 to describe the overall configuration of the window control system 100 according to the present invention, first, an app (app) for setting a reference value for temperature and humidity for opening and closing a window (not shown) is built in The smart phone 10 and the server 30 that receive and store the reference value from time to time are interlocked with the app of the smart phone 10 and detect the UV index and light intensity through the illuminance sensor 51 to schedule If it is more than the standard, it interlocks with the sunscreen 50 that changes the PDLC film 52 and the app of the smart phone 10, detects rain, and opens and closes the window, and the server 30 It has a configuration that includes a control unit 40 for controlling the UV blocking unit 50 and the rainwater blocking unit 60 when receiving a control command from ).

Hereinafter, the structural features of the window control system 100 according to the present invention will be described.

It consists of a smartphone (10) with a built-in app (app) for setting a reference value for temperature and humidity to open and close the window, and a server (30) that collects and stores the reference value at any time. The reference value can be updated by the user from time to time, because the flexibility should be given according to the changing environment and the change of season.

Here, the smart phone 10 is not limited to an ordinary smart phone, and any type of communication device capable of laying an app (app) for setting a reference value for temperature and humidity may be used.

Here, it should be noted that the server 30 in the present invention is characterized in that it is a NAS (Network Attached Storage) server specifically for security and independence, and the NAS server will be briefly described below.

The NAS server is a storage device connected to a network, that is, a storage server designed to be shared on a network by being connected to a hub, unlike an external hard drive directly connected to a host computer. For example, a file server used by several people in an office to share a file is most typical. In the past, a USB memory or an external hard drive was mainly used as a storage device, and the NAS server is a data sharing function added to the concept of the external hard drive.

Therefore, since it supports data storage, data sharing, data management, and other application programs and other cloud services, it is known as a server that has the advantage of being able to access anytime, anywhere by mobile. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the service without interruption even if the Internet network fails.

Therefore, the window control system 100 of the present invention can run the system of the present invention with its own service, which is completely independent of external services using a NAS server, and improves security since it is the same as using a virtual private server. It has the advantage of not having to use external services separately.

Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 2 will be described with respect to the embodiment using the UV blocking portion 50 of the present invention window control system 100.

The UV blocking part 50 is connected to the PDLC film 52 and the PDLC film 52 that control the transparency of the window glass by determining the illuminance through the illuminance sensor 51 and the illuminance sensor. It consists of a relay module unit 53 for supplying a voltage to change the transparency of the window glass. The illuminance sensor 51 and the relay module unit 53 are installed on one side of a window frame (not shown), and the PLDC film 52 is attached to a glass window (usually a transparent state).

Hereinafter, the PDLC film 52 will be briefly described.

The PDLC film (Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal) is a film through which electric current flows, and a smart film that can be converted into transparent or opaque by sending or blocking current through operation of a device such as a user's remote controller or the like. Is an invisible line of sight film.

Thus, as shown in Figure 2, the PDLC film 52, the illuminance sensor 51 detects the light, the ultraviolet light is high or the intensity of the light is high, the glare is severe, the server 30 is through the control unit 40 It is a principle that the relay module portion 53 is opaque by allowing a current to flow through the PDLC film 52 and turns off the current when it becomes bright again, thereby making the PDLC film 52 transparent again in its original state. Since the relay module unit 23 is a well-known technique to make the current flow and make it opaque, a detailed description will be omitted.

The intensity of ultraviolet light or light is detected by the illuminance sensor 51, and the server 30 continuously receives the detected intensity or intensity of ultraviolet light from the illuminance sensor 51,

Then, the server 30 compares and determines with the stored reference value, and when it is determined that the reference value is greater than or equal to the reference value, the sunscreen 50 is operated.

That is, the server 30 compares and analyzes the received reference value with the indoor data measured by the indoor temperature sensor (not shown) and the humidity sensor (not shown), and analyzes and analyzes the glass because ultraviolet or light intensity is higher than the reference value. If it is determined that it should be opaque, the controller 40 is notified. The range of numerical values of the UV index is notified when the UV index is 6 or higher (high). For reference, the UV index starts at 0, and the higher the index, the greater the probability of harm to the skin and eyes, which means that it takes a shorter time for damage to occur.

That is, when the illuminance is detected and received through the illuminance sensor 51, the server 30 compares and judges with the stored reference value to determine whether the UV protection unit 50 operates, and if it is higher than the reference value, the control unit 40 ), and the control unit 40 generates a control signal and transmits it to the relay module unit 53 of the UV blocking unit 50 so as to operate it so that the PDLC film 52 is opaque.

Here, the illuminance sensor 51 can be replaced with a fine dust detection sensor (not shown), which is very useful and useful in recent years, in which the air quality has been greatly reduced due to fine dust from China. You can do it.

In the above case, when the fine dust is increased through the fine dust detection sensor, the PDLC film 52 becomes opaque, and when the fine dust concentration is low due to good weather, the PDLC film 52 is made transparent.

This can be selected as a manual mode or an automatic mode. The manual mode allows manual control of a window remotely using a smartphone application, so that the window can be opened and closed and the PDLC film 52 on and off manually. , The fine dust detection sensor measures the concentration and automatically opens and closes the window. For example, if the concentration of fine dust is 800 or more, the window becomes opaque, and if it is less than 800, there is a method of making it transparent, and it may be desirable to set the density in advance so that it can be updated. Therefore, the indoor occupant can determine the concentration state of the external fine dust only by looking at the transparency of the glass window, so it is possible to prepare the mask for blocking the fine dust when going out without having to search the weather or watch TV weather forecast separately.

Further, the illuminance sensor 51 has an additional function, the illuminance sensor 51 has a human body detection function, and a camera module (not shown) is further provided. The camera module is preferably an infrared camera module.

Accordingly, when an intruder is generated through a window and senses the human body outside the window, it is possible to take a picture using the camera module, and transmit and store the captured picture to the server 30 to store the server 30 Sends a message that the picture has been saved to the user's smartphone 10, and the user who has received the picture storage message can access the server 30 with the user's smartphone 10 to check the stored picture. will be.

Therefore, the user can check the picture and, as a result, if it turns out to be an intruder, he can contact the police station or take action such as contacting the management office or requesting an emergency broadcast.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the window control system 100 of the present invention closes a window through the rainwater blocking unit 60 will be described.

The rainwater blocking part 60 includes a rainwater detection sensor 61 that detects moisture (rain or snow, etc.) contacting the surface of the window, a magnetic material sensor 62 that detects the opening and closing state of the window, and an opening and closing of the window. It consists of a configuration of a motor 63 for controlling. It is preferable that the type of the motor 63 used in the embodiment of the present invention is a step motor (or stepping motor). The rainwater detection sensor 61 and the motor 63 are respectively installed on the other side of the window frame, and the magnetic body sensor 62 is installed on the end side of the closed side window.

In addition, the rain sensor detects the temperature of the indoor air, the relative humidity and the amount of carbon dioxide, the amount of oxygen, the amount of carbon monoxide (Co), fine dust, and volatile organic compounds (VOC), and emits infrared rays to detect them in the rain. It consists of LED.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the server 30 receives a detection signal that rainwater has come down from the rainwater detection sensor 61, it determines whether the rainwater blocking unit 60 is operating. If the detection signal comes in again after 3 to 5 minutes from the rain detection sensor, it is determined that the rain blocking unit 60 is operated, and the control unit 40 is notified.

Then, the control unit 40 that is notified from the server 30 generates and transmits a control signal to the motor 63, which is a component of the rainwater blocking unit 60, to operate the motor 63, The window is closed by the operation of the motor 63. Here, detailed description of the technique of closing the window by the operation of the motor 63 is well-known and will be omitted.

In addition, the magnetic body (磁性体) sensor 62 is formed at the end of the window (not shown) to be able to check whether the window is closed properly due to the operation of the motor (63). Therefore, it is preferable that a portion of the window frame that comes into contact with the magnetic body sensor 62 is formed of a material that reacts with the magnetic force of the magnetic body sensor 62.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the rain from entering the house and damaging it by automatically closing the window even if the public does not come and close the window of the house, and furthermore, it has the advantage of maintaining humidity in the house.

Hereinafter, a method of controlling an automatic window using a NAS will be described with reference to the drawings. Looking at Figure 4 will be described with respect to the control method using the sunscreen (50).

The user is to set a reference value for temperature and humidity for reference in controlling the transparency of the glass window using the smartphone 10 app. The reference value can be set by the user according to the situation at that time. (Stage 1)

The server 30 frequently inputs and stores the set reference value from the app of the smartphone 10. (Step 2)

The illuminance sensor 51 undergoes a step of sensing the intensity of light or the intensity of ultraviolet light and transmitting it to the server 30 for comparison with the stored reference value. (Stage 3)

Then, the server 30 undergoes a step of comparing and analyzing the reference value and the intensity of light and ultraviolet light. (Step 4)

The data of the fourth step (reference value, intensity of light and sin line) is determined as a result of comparative analysis to determine whether to execute the sunscreen 50. (Step 5)

When the server 30 exceeds the reference value in the fifth step, a control signal for controlling the window in an opaque state is generated and transmitted to the control unit 40, and the control unit 40 receiving the control signal blocks UV protection. The signal is transmitted to the unit 50. (Step 6)

In step 6, the UV blocking unit 50, which has received the signal, undergoes a step of opaquely converting the PLDC film 52 by generating a voltage through the relay module unit 53. (Step 7)

Therefore, by changing the surface of the PLDC film 52 as described above, it is possible to control the window transparently or opaquely, and if the intensity of ultraviolet rays or sunlight returns to the original state again, the user again returns to the smartphone 10 By stopping the operation of the relay module unit 53 through the app of, the surface of the PLDC film 52 is not changed, and the window is returned to the original state.

Detailed description of the technology for converting the PLDC film 52 by flowing the current in the relay module unit 53 will be omitted because it is a well-known technology.

Furthermore, it is intended to reveal that the above-described method also applies to fine dust previously described. That is, in the case of the fine dust, the fine dust detection sensor, not the illuminance sensor 51, detects the concentration and notifies the server 30, and the server 30 judges this and transmits it to the control unit 40 to block UV rays. That is the way to operate the unit 50.

Hereinafter, a process of automatically opening and closing a window using the rainwater blocking unit 60 will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

The rainwater detection sensor 61 formed in the rainwater blocking portion 60 detects rainwater when it rains. (Step 1) The first step is not limited to rain, and it is intended to reveal in advance that sudden hail or snow is included.

When the rain detection sensor 61 detects this, the server 30 is notified. If the rainwater or the like is continuously detected for 2 minutes or more after the notification, the server 30 is notified again. (Step 2)

Then, the server 30 sends a command to close the window to the control unit 40. (Step 3) The reason is that if the rain continues for more than 2 minutes, it is highly likely to continue, and the amount of rainwater in the meantime becomes significant when entering the room or living room.

The control unit 40 receiving the command in the third step generates a control signal to generate and transmit a control signal to the motor 63 of the rainwater blocking unit 60 to operate the motor 63 to close the window. Is to do. (Step 4)

Here, the magnetic material sensor 62, which is one of the components of the rainwater blocking part 60, is a sensor having a magnetic force such as a magnet, and the window is closed by the rotational force of the motor 63. It is a sensor that confirms that it is closed properly when possible.

That is, when the window is closed, the magnetic material sensor 62 formed adjacent to the closed window detects this and is a sensor that checks the closed state of the window. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a reliable closing when a rain or snow or hail occurs, such as when a window needs to be closed.

As described above, the above-described contents are merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may vary within a range not departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.
