In addition, it will be understood that the above-described terminal may include detailed configurations of a computing device to be described later in the description of FIG. 9, and a smart home system 10 capable of managing residents and visitors of a multi-family house according to an embodiment of the present invention , hereinafter referred to as a 'system') will also be understood to include components included in the computing device, and may include one or more computing devices.

On the other hand, in order to provide services such as user account and manager account processed in the system 10 of the present invention, all data subject to management, such as log information, monitoring information, and default frame, unit interface module, etc. It will be understood that all data to be processed is stored and managed by the database 30 . The database 30 will be understood as a concept including all of the separate computing devices that are included in the system 10 or exist in conjunction with each other as shown in FIG. 1 .

The system 10 of the present invention is characterized in that it includes an interface management unit 11 , an account management unit 12 , and an account monitoring unit 13 as shown in FIG. 1 and the like. The system 10 is a concept including one or more computing devices as described above, such as being built in a management terminal (not shown) or a separate server terminal.

The interface management unit 11 enables control of a plurality of devices controllable by the user terminal 20 through interworking with the control terminal when using the multi-family house and use of services provided in the multi-family house through the user terminal 20 It is a configuration in which the smart home interface, which is an interface for this purpose, is differently processed according to the type of multi-family house and user account and provided to the user terminal 20 .

In the present invention, a multi-family house is a type of house in which a plurality of households such as an apartment complex divided into '~~complex', '~~village', etc. use one service or live in one area. For example, as described above, one apartment complex may be included in the multi-family house of the present invention. In addition, as long as it is a multi-family residence type house that can use the service of the present invention, such as a rural house village, it is included in the multi-family house in the present invention.

In the present invention, the control terminal is a terminal using a home automation system, a kiosk terminal, etc., a terminal or a user terminal used for controlling a specific control device in a house through the execution of an application or connection through the web, a plurality of controllable It will be understood to include all of the service providing terminals accessing for controlling the device or using the service.

A plurality of devices that can be controlled in the present invention are devices in a house that can be controlled through the user terminal 20 as described above, for example, an access blocking device in an apartment complex, an elevator, a front door, a system air conditioner, and a gas valve. , air-conditioning equipment, lighting equipment, lighting equipment, etc. may be included in the controllable equipment, and basically refers to equipment that can be used or controlled by a resident of a house to obtain convenience in residence. That is, a specific user account can control only the controllable devices in the own house, the elevators of the house-related lines, the doors of the lines, and the access blocking devices in the complex, and cannot control the devices used in other households or other lines. It would be natural for the control authority to be set.

On the other hand, the service provided in a multi-family house refers to a service that is available through a reservation or use of a service approved through a user terminal. For example, concierge service, courier service or consignment service, laundry service, car wash service, sports facility use service, guest house service, food service, etc. All services provided to the residents of the multi-family house by itself or in conjunction with a business in the multi-family house means

The interface management unit provides the user terminal 20 with a smart home interface capable of input and confirmation for control and service use of a plurality of controllable devices described above to the user terminal 20, but a user account logged in through the user terminal 20 It performs a function of processing, i.e. configuring, providing a smart home interface differently depending on the type of multi-family house and user account to which it belongs.

An example of a specific smart home interface is shown in FIG. 2 . Referring to the screen 100 of FIG. 2 , as an example of the main screen of the smart home interface, as shown in the corresponding screen 100 , the user account belongs, that is, the user account is a resident of a multi-generational household registered as the head of a household or a member of the household. Including house identification information (xx village xx APT), the weather and fine dust concentration in the area may be displayed.

On the other hand, as the controllable device category 101 , a device control menu 102 such as lighting devices, gas valves, system air conditioners, etc. may be output, and as the convenience category 103 , the use menu 104 of the available services described above. is output, so that the user can check the corresponding icon and menu, use the service, or control the device. Also, as described below, it is possible to check various community news and the like through the notice.

As described above, such a smart home interface is set differently depending on the type of multi-family house and user account. In other words, it is possible to reduce the cost of system construction by avoiding separate development even though it is a constant smart home interface to allow the smart home interface to be configured differently according to the types of controllable devices and available services provided in multi-family houses. because there is

To this end, the interface management unit 11, when processing and configuring the smart home interface, among a plurality of available unit interface modules pre-stored in the database 30, a plurality of controllable devices installed in the multi-family house, provided in the multi-family house Depending on the service, when the smart home interface is executed in the user terminal 20 by applying at least one interface module selected from the manager terminal (not shown) to the default frame of the smart home interface, it is possible to use each unit function included in the unit interface module It is desirable to configure and provide a smart home interface for each multi-family house differently.

That is, the manager terminal, if necessary, edits the interface module to be applied to the default frame and stores it in the database 30 as a smart home interface of a multi-family house managed by the manager terminal, and the user terminal 20 is the system ( When the application is executed or web access is performed to use the function of 10), it is determined whether the smart home interface has been edited, and when editing, a new interface is downloaded or the application is updated to reflect the edited interface.

In a multi-family house, controllable devices may be added, modified, or deleted, or available services may be added, modified, or deleted according to the operation of the multi-family house. At this time, instead of having the administrator of the system personally visit or remotely edit the interface of the system, the administrator of the multi-family house conveniently manipulates the interface module to be edited among the unit interface modules to add, modify, or delete the system. It is possible to minimize the cost required for the construction and maintenance of This will include an initial setting concept by adding an interface module to a default frame when initially setting a smart home interface according to the initial completion of a multi-family house.

An example of this is shown in FIG. 3 . The screen 110 of FIG. 3 is an example of a management screen of the smart home interface output to the manager terminal, and the manager account may be authenticated by the manager account through the manager terminal and call the management screen 110 of the smart home interface. .

In the called management screen 110 , the administrator may delete the specific interface module 112 through the delete menu 113 or add any one of the specific interface modules 111 to the smart home interface. Alternatively, a detailed function of the interface module 112 may be called to edit it.

Calling the detailed function means calling whether a function can be used when the corresponding menu is selected by the user account, and it can be edited in the manager account.

The above-described editing function and the smart home interface in FIG. 2 have been described as being configured or edited differently for each multi-family house by the administrator in the above example, but this is the example described above even by the type of user account as described above. may be configured or edited differently similarly to Alternatively, the interface is implemented differently only depending on the multi-family house, and depending on the type of user account, when the menu is selected, whether the menu is available or not, the difference in control function or service use of the controllable device according to the type of user account is displayed. It can be implemented to put

Returning to the description of FIG. 1 , the account management unit 12 is configured to manage a user account for using the smart home interface and manage a visitor account of a multi-family house.

In the present invention, the user account is as described above, and the visitor account of the multi-family house refers to any person who is not registered as a resident of the multi-family house, but who encounters the resident or visits a specific area of the multi-family house for a certain period of time for business or personal use. It is a concept that refers to In the following description, an example of a visitor account who visits to face a resident will be described. will be.

It has been explained that the smart home interface is processed differently depending on the type of multi-family house and user account. In this case, the user account and the above-mentioned visitor account are naturally provided with a smart home interface by differentiating available menus when the smart home interface is provided, or by outputting whether the user account is available when selecting the corresponding menu as described above. It may be implemented to differentiate the use of a control function or service of a controllable device according to the type of device. That is, the differentiating the provision of the smart home interface includes all of the differentiating through the differentiation of the interface itself or an output function for availability.

In this case, in the present invention, the user account may be divided into a householder account, which is a representative account for each household, and a household member account, which belongs to the householder account and resides in a specific house, and may be managed. In this case, the interface management unit 11 provides a smart home interface in which functions available for use by unit functions are differentiated for each household head account, household member account, and visitor account. An example of this is shown in FIG. 4 .

The screen 120 of FIG. 4 is, for example, a control screen of a specific control target device, and may be automatically set so that a household member or a visitor account cannot control a specific device. This is set so that only the head of the household account can use the content that only the head of the household needs to decide because requirements such as safety relevance of controllable devices or payment issues of available services and restrictions on the frequency of use are set can be taken as an example.

That is, in the screen 120 of FIG. 4 , with respect to the control function for the gas valve, the screen as shown in FIG. 4 is output from the account of the household member or the visitor, not the head of the household. At this time, the household member or visitor account will have to contact the household head account or deliver the contents, and the household head account directly executes the smart home interface and requests to operate the gas valve.

In this way, by differentiating different available functions in the user account and the visitor account, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of safety accidents or various crimes due to the use of the smart home interface.

Meanwhile, in relation to the above-described differentiation of the user account and the visitor account, in the present invention, it is possible to implement a function that can greatly reduce the burden on the administrator in terms of account management. For example, in existing apartment complexes, most visitors contact the management office terminal and register as a visitor when they visit. there was

In order to solve this problem, based on the differentiation of user accounts and the existence of visitor accounts, in the present invention, the account management unit 12 generates, edits, and deletes the head of household account according to the approval of the manager account, the household member account and the visitor Account creation, modification and deletion may function according to the approval of the head of household account.

At this time, log information (Log-Data) on the creation, modification, and deletion of household member accounts and visitor accounts is collected separately for each household head account, and is transmitted to the manager account at a specific point in time (for example, once a week). You can also check this in your account and check whether an error has occurred, or make it possible to determine the cause of a safety accident or crime.

In the present invention, approval is adopted by the manager account only for the head of household account, and in the case of a household member account and a visitor account, the management interface for household members and visitors that is output only when the head of the household outputs the smart home interface and accesses the household head account is used. Therefore, it is possible to use the functions of adding, modifying, and deleting household member accounts and visitor accounts. Accordingly, it is possible to greatly reduce the burden on the administrator in terms of account management, and at the same time, there is an effect that can reasonably solve the problem that account management is impossible due to the absence of the administrator. An example of this is shown in FIG. 5 .

The screen 130 of FIG. 5 is an example of the above-described management interface, and when a visitor visits and inputs their personal information and household information (such as dong, lake, etc.) they want to visit, the kiosk or control terminal in front of the apartment complex, etc., the head of the household A pop-up or a push alarm may be transmitted to the user terminal 20 of the account to enable the management interface to be called. At this time, a screen 130 as shown in FIG. 5 is output to the householder terminal, and the householder account can check the visitor information 131 , create a corresponding visitor account, and approve access to the apartment complex.

According to this function, not only can the administrator's burden be greatly reduced, but also because the head of the household directly checks the visitor and confirms whether the visitor is his or her own, compared to the existing visitor access control method in which the administrator checks only by voice, An effect that can greatly increase its safety and reliability can also be expected.

On the other hand, the account monitoring unit 13 manages whether the user account or visitor account is approved for each space use and authentication log information when a user account or a visitor account authenticates account information through an account information authentication device arranged for each space of a multi-family house perform the function The account monitoring unit 13 mainly manages the authentication log information of the visitor account, but also manages the authentication log information for the user accounts such as the head of the household and the member of the household as described above in order to predict the number of victims and determine the cause when a safety accident occurs. can do.

In the present invention, the space of a multi-family house means a space divided according to a housing unit, a line door unit, a complex door unit, an available service use facility unit, etc., and the account information authentication device 40 is means a device that authenticates For example, you can open and close the door by performing account authentication and controlling the access control device in an apartment complex access control device, line access control device, house front door control device, sports facility access control device, guest house access control device, etc. It should be understood that the device for controlling so as to belong to the account information authentication device 40 in the present invention. In addition, the account information authentication device 40 may be implemented to include a recognition module (near-field communication module) for an NFC tag, etc., an input/output means and an identification module for a two-dimensional code.

The account monitoring unit 13 automatically authenticates the authenticated account identification information and account authentication when a user account or a visitor account authenticates their account to visit a specific space through the account information authentication device 40 Time information and the like will be managed as authentication log information.

In this case, the household head account and the household member account may be authenticated through the account information authentication device through an authentication device such as an NFC tag provided to the household member with his/her ID, the number of the same number and the password information. However, when providing the above-mentioned password or authentication device to the visitor account, there is a problem that a crime may occur.

In order to solve this problem, the account management unit 12 of the present invention is recognizable to the account information authentication device 40 when the visitor account is created, and at least the identification information and account of the head of household account that has approved the creation of the visitor account. A two-dimensional code including information identifying that the type is a visitor account is generated and provided to the visitor terminal logged in with the visitor account. To this end, when a two-dimensional code is generated and provided to the visitor terminal, a push alarm for inducing installation of an application capable of executing the above-described smart home interface may be transmitted. Alternatively, when linking with SMS or other messenger programs, a contact is input from the visitor through the account information authentication device 40, typically the account information authentication device 40 linked to the access control device of the apartment complex where the visitor account will be initially created. It receives and transmits the 2D code itself to the visitor account through SMS or a messenger program, so that the visitor can use the 2D code.

At this time, the account monitoring unit 13, when the valid two-dimensional code is recognized by the account information authentication device 40, it is preferable to approve the access to the space in which the account information authentication device 40 is installed. That is, the account information authentication device 40 opens the access blocking control device of the connected space so that the corresponding person can enter the space.

The two-dimensional code valid in the present invention means that the two-dimensional code is stored in the database 30 for authentication when issuing the two-dimensional code, and when the two-dimensional code authentication is attempted, the two-dimensional code and the visitor to whom the two-dimensional code is issued Through comparison of identification information such as resident registration number and contact information of the account, it is confirmed whether the two-dimensional code exactly matches the account of the visitor's terminal attempting authentication, and whether the two-dimensional code is a code that has been issued. It means a code that has been verified as a result of confirming that it is a code issued to the account.

In the present invention, the account monitoring unit 13 interworks with the account management unit 12 and the database 30 to authenticate the two-dimensional code, and through this, control access to the visitor account for the available space in the multi-family house. Whether to approve the use of each space described above will be managed.

Meanwhile, as described above, the authentication log information is information managed by the account monitoring unit 13 . Specifically, when the account monitoring unit 13 stores authentication log information in the database 30 . As the valid two-dimensional code is recognized by the account information authentication device 40, when the access to the space where the account information authentication device 40 is installed is approved, the identification information of the householder account included in the two-dimensional code is loaded from the two-dimensional code, , the identification information of the loaded householder account and information on the recognition time of the two-dimensional code are stored as authentication log information of the visitor account.

That is, in order to protect the personal information of the visitor and to accurately track the movement of the visitor account, the visitor account information stores the information of the head of household account of the household visited by the visitor. At this time, since the generation of the visitor account is managed by the head of household account, the head of household account for the visitor account is information that can be extracted through the account that issued the visitor account. In the event of an accident, etc., the identification information of the visitor account (identification information of the two-dimensional code) will of course be extracted by the account information authentication device 40. It is possible to grasp the information about the information without the need to grasp it in the database 30, that is, without infringing on personal information. An example of this is shown in FIG. 7 .

Referring to FIG. 7 , when the visitor terminal 20 effectively authenticates the two-dimensional code 21 through the account information authentication device 40, the two-dimensional code is derived from the two-dimensional code identification information and the householder's account. The identification information 202 is extracted, and the recognition time information 201 of the two-dimensional code is extracted. When this is combined, the above-described authentication log information (L1 to Ln, 200) is generated and stored in the database 30 for each visitor account or householder account.

In addition, when determining the recognition time of the two-dimensional code, since the account information authentication device 40 corresponding to the recognition time is located in the space installed between the corresponding time point and another time point, tracking the visitor's movement using only the corresponding time point is sufficient. it is possible

In the event of a safety accident or crime using such information, it is essential to understand the damage situation and identify the cause of the damage to identify the movement of the visitor account, including all users. To this end, on the basis of the above-described data, the account monitoring unit 13, when receiving a path tracing request input for any one visitor account from the manager terminal, at least recognizes the authentication log information for the visitor account at the time of recognition of the two-dimensional code. Information arranged in order is provided to the manager terminal as visitor account path tracking information. An example of this is shown in FIG. 8 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , the authentication log information (L1, L2, L3) mentioned in the description of FIG. 7 is arranged in the order of time (t1, t2, t3), and combined with the identification information (P3) of the two-dimensional code The account path tracking information 300 is generated and provided to the manager terminal. In this case, the manager terminal can determine whether the visitor account visited which space at which point in time based on the above-described authentication log information (L1, L2, L3).

Returning to the description of FIG. 1 again, information on the visitor account needs to be automatically or manually deleted at an optimal time in order to protect personal information about the visitor.

To this end, the account management unit 12 receives the real-time location information of the visitor terminal from the location information detection module of the visitor terminal to which the visitor account has logged in, and the location information of the visitor terminal sets a preset distance (eg, a radius) from the multi-family house. If it is judged to be separated by more than 1km), a query signal to inquire whether to delete the visitor account is sent to the household head account that has approved the creation of the visitor account, and when a deletion approval signal is received from the household head account The visitor account is deleted from the database 30 . An example of this is shown in FIG. 6 .

The screen 140 of FIG. 6 is an example of a management interface similar to the screen 130 of FIG. 5 . Referring to FIG. 6 , when it is necessary to delete the account of the visitor P3 according to the above-described criteria, the head of the household may check the identification information of the visitor account P3 and determine whether to delete it. At this time, if the visitor is planning to visit again after a brief absence, for example, the account deletion can be withheld by selecting the Cancel menu. However, if the account needs to be deleted, the visitor account may be deleted from the head of household account and database 30 by selecting the delete menu at the discretion of the head of the household.

On the other hand, when the head of household account fails to check the inquiry signal for deletion, the account management unit 12 does not receive a deletion approval signal from the time the inquiry signal is transmitted in order to improve the convenient management of the visitor account and privacy protection. When the set time elapses a preset first threshold time (eg, 6 hours), the visitor account may be automatically deleted.

Meanwhile, in addition to the information on the visitor account, the account path tracking information as described above also needs to be deleted at an optimal time to protect personal information. To this end, it is preferable that the account monitoring unit 13 automatically deletes the authentication log information from the database 30 when a preset second threshold time (eg, 14 days) elapses from the time when the authentication log information is generated. Do.

At this time, due to the characteristics of the multi-family house, there is little room for the problem of personal information protection even if personal information is stored in the database 30 in the case of users, that is, the head of the household and members of the household. That is, in the case of a resident, his/her personal information will be permanently managed in the database 30 to use the services provided in the multi-family house, and in case of various accidents, the probability of being a victim or a cause of damage is lower than that of visitors. Because it is high, it is necessary to manage the authentication log information generated from the corresponding user account for a longer period of time. On the other hand, although not described above, the authentication log information from the user account is described above when the user account is authenticated through the ID, password, same number, or the above-described separate authentication device in the above-described account information authentication device 40 . It will be understood to mean information generated similarly to authentication log information of a visitor account.

Against this background, the above-described second threshold time is set differently for the user account and the visitor account, but it is preferable that the second threshold time for the visitor account is set shorter than the second threshold time of the user account.
