Description

Apparatus including a smart satellite antenna capable of multi-sensing-based emergency detection and rescue signal transmission including voice and sound recognition OF OPERATION FOR THE SAME}

The present invention relates to an apparatus including a satellite antenna and a method of operating the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus including an outdoor smart satellite antenna capable of receiving satellite broadcasts in outdoor areas such as a car, a camper, or a yacht and conveniently providing it to a user, and an operating method thereof.

In a satellite broadcasting (Broadcasting Satellite, BS) system, a satellite relays a broadcast signal transmitted by a terrestrial broadcasting station, and a user receives and uses a broadcasting signal using a terrestrial satellite antenna and a satellite broadcasting receiver.

In order to search for a channel that a user wants to watch, unlike a typical TV receiver, it is not enough to just tune the frequency of a wired/wireless channel. must be moved or rotated. In general, a satellite antenna is a directional antenna.

A process in which a satellite broadcast receiving apparatus motorizes a satellite antenna in order to search for and view a satellite channel desired by a user is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. KR 10-2015-0043876 "Method and Apparatus for Searching a Satellite Channel".

The satellite antenna of the prior document KR 10-2015-0043876 is manufactured assuming use in a specific area on the earth. Since the number of satellites that can be viewed is limited in a specific region on the earth, movement and rotation of the satellite antenna are performed within a very limited range in KR 10-2015-0043876 and the like.

Meanwhile, recent modern people want to enjoy various leisure activities, and camping and leisure activities are in the spotlight as one of the ways to enjoy leisure. In such a space, normal terrestrial broadcasting is difficult in some cases, and therefore, the demand for a satellite broadcasting receiver capable of watching satellite broadcasting in such an outdoor field is increasing.

However, the outdoor satellite broadcasting receiver cannot respond to various demands because it is manufactured on the assumption that it is used only in a specific area on the earth. Therefore, the movement and rotation of the satellite antenna in a wider range should be guaranteed. For this, the present applicant has proposed Korean Patent KR 10-2031250 "Auto-tracking antenna for simultaneous reception of satellite and terrestrial waves having a 360-degree azimuth rotation structure".

In a broadcast reception and display device, a display control technology using voice recognition has recently been proposed to conveniently help a user select a channel and view broadcast content. For example, Korean Patent Laid-Open Patent KR 10-2017-0087712 "Display Apparatus and Controlling Method of Display Apparatus" and US Patent Registration US 10,779,030 "Display Apparatus and Controlling Method Thereof" may be mentioned.

However, unlike in general urban facilities or homes, in outdoor sites, the radio wave environment is poor, and computing power or power supply is not sufficient. Considering this, the technology for providing user convenience by voice recognition is improved for the outdoor site. Attempts to optimize still need to be continued.

On the other hand, in recent years, due to the development of wireless communication technology, since most of the smart devices are brought to the outdoor field, there is a demand for a technology that can share satellite broadcasting contents with nearby wireless devices or smart devices using wireless communication technology. exists

Korean Patent Publication KR 10-2018-0109340 "Electronic Device and Screen Sharing Method of Electronic Device" and US Patent Publication US 2020/0057589 "ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND SCREEN SHARING METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE" disclose two devices having different screen sizes. A technique for sharing content displayed on a screen through a wireless channel by pairing is disclosed.

However, KR 10-2018-0109340 and US 2020/0057589 focus on computing for adjusting image data in consideration of screen sizes between different devices. Therefore, it consumes considerable computing power, and it is a technology difficult to apply as it is in the outdoor field where available computing power is limited.

Meanwhile, in Korean Patent KR 10-2139107 "System and method for providing broadcast data mirroring service for smart TV and smart phone receiving multi-channel broadcast signal", a set-top box for receiving multi-channel broadcast signal is used for broadcasting of smart TV and smart phone. We propose a service that mirrors data.

However, the KR 10-2139107 is actually MPEG-encoded for IPTV or smart TV and downloaded in advance, MPEG-decoded broadcast content stored in the set-top box is MPEG-encoded again to a different screen standard for the smart phone and provided to the smart phone. As such, it is difficult to satisfy the demand for simultaneously providing real-time broadcast content. The KR 10-2139107 consumes a lot of computing power during MPEG encoding, and for this purpose, there is a problem in that the set-top box must have a storage having a large storage space.

On the other hand, another demand required in the outdoor field is, for example, a communication device that can generate an alarm or a rescue request when an emergency is detected, so as to provide a prompt and appropriate response in case of an unexpected event or accident. can be heard

In general urban facilities or homes, they have sufficient power and communication facilities, and have relief measures to respond in case of an incident or accident, but in the outdoor field, the ability to respond to the same incident or accident is inevitably weak. .

In response to this demand, the present applicant has proposed Korean Patent Registration KR 10-1879254 "Satellite broadcast reception TV that generates an alarm by detecting an accident".

However, attempts to further improve and optimize the emergency detection and response process in the outdoor field in consideration of user convenience still need to be continued.

It checks and transmits a rescue signal corresponding to an emergency situation using an available communication network.

The emergency controller recognizes the surrounding voice and sound patterns detected by the multi-sensor to generate context information about the surrounding situation, and based on the context information, the sensing information detected by the remaining elements of the multi-sensor is an emergency situation. can be cross-checked to see if

The emergency controller can be installed in a case that is separate from the hardware of the controller.

The emergency controller can be integrated into the same case as the controller's hardware.

1 is a diagram showing an outline of a smart satellite antenna device for outdoor use in the technical field of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the artificial satellite 110 may be used to transmit a broadcast. In this case, the satellite 110 may receive a satellite broadcast signal from a terrestrial broadcasting station and retransmit the satellite broadcasting signal to receiving devices on the ground.

The satellite broadcast reception system includes a satellite broadcast reception antenna 130 , a satellite broadcast reception device (not shown), and a display device 140 . The satellite broadcast reception antenna 130 is generally a directional antenna. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the satellite broadcast reception antenna 130 to face the direction of the satellite before receiving the satellite broadcast.

The satellite broadcast receiving system may be mounted on the vehicle 120 as shown in FIG. 1 . In this case, the direction of the satellite broadcast reception antenna 130 may be changed as the direction of the vehicle 120 is changed. Even when receiving satellite broadcasting after parking the vehicle 120 , if the parking direction of the vehicle 120 is changed, the direction of the satellite broadcasting reception antenna 130 must be readjusted to receive satellite broadcasting.

However, it is cumbersome to adjust the direction of the satellite broadcast reception antenna 130 every time, and it is not easy for general users to precisely adjust the direction of the satellite broadcast reception antenna 130 in the direction of the satellite that transmits the channel they want to receive. That's a problem.

Although the direction of the satellite broadcast receiving antenna 130 may be automatically controlled to the direction of the satellite, the user interface for this is complicated, and general users still have problems in receiving satellite broadcast using the satellite broadcast receiving antenna 130 . come.

As an example of an effort to improve the process of receiving satellite broadcasting using the satellite broadcasting reception antenna 130, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. KR 10-2015-0043876 "Method and Apparatus for Searching Satellite Channels" and Korean Patent Registration KR 10 - 2031250 "satellite and terrestrial wave simultaneous reception auto-tracking antenna having a 360-degree azimuth rotation structure" has been disclosed, and some of the configurations of the prior documents may be applied to the present invention within the scope consistent with the object of the present invention.

The emergency control box 580 includes a multi-sensor capable of detecting a plurality of different situations therein, and, like the controller 550, includes at least one processor, memory, storage and/or communication interface module therein. can do.

In addition, the multi-sensing-based emergency detection and rescue signal request function using the smart satellite antenna of the present invention may be provided to the outdoor field in the form of computer-readable program instructions, and the emergency situation detection and rescue signal request operation is performed by the above program The instructions may be provided to the user by being stored, loaded, and executed by at least one processor and/or memory.

Controller 550 corresponds, for example, to a computing system (not shown), which may include a processor, memory, storage, database, and/or communication interface module. The following operations and functions are performed by a processor in the computing system, and the processor may perform the following operations and functions in cooperation with at least one of a memory, a storage, a database, and/or a communication interface module.

The emergency control box 580 includes a processor, a memory, a storage, a database, and/or a communication interface module, and may further include a multi-sensor capable of detecting a plurality of different situations therein. The following operations and functions are performed by a processor in the computing system, and the processor may perform the following operations and functions in cooperation with at least one of a multi-sensor, memory, storage, database, and/or communication interface module.

The smart satellite antenna device of the present invention may be configured to include a satellite tracking antenna 530 , a controller 550 , and an emergency control box 580 .

The satellite signal receiver 552 in the controller 550 receives a satellite broadcast signal through the satellite tracking smart antenna 530 .

At this time, based on the user's channel selection input, the automatic antenna control unit 554 in the controller 550 automatically controls the satellite tracking antenna 530 so that the satellite tracking antenna 530 tracks the satellite corresponding to the channel desired by the user. do. The automatic antenna control unit 554 directs the satellite tracking antenna 530 to a satellite corresponding to the channel desired by the user based on the satellite signal received from the satellite tracking antenna 530 via the satellite signal receiving unit 552, and the user The satellite tracking antenna 530 and the broadcast reception tuner may be adjusted so that a desired channel is selected.

The satellite broadcast stream transmitter 556 in the controller 550 may convert the received satellite broadcast signal into content data and transmit it to the TV 540 via a wired link.

The detailed operation of the satellite signal reception unit 552, the antenna automatic control unit 554, and the satellite broadcast stream transmission unit 556 is more detailed in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. KR 10-2015-0043876 "Method and Apparatus for Searching a Satellite Channel". , Korean Patent KR 10-2031250 "Satellite and terrestrial wave simultaneous receiving auto-tracking antenna having a 360 degree azimuth rotation structure", Korean Patent Laid-Open Patent KR 10-2017-0087712 "Display device and control method of display device", US Patent Registration US 10,779,030 "Display Apparatus and Controlling Method Thereof", Korean Patent Publication KR 10-2018-0109340 "Electronic Device and Screen Sharing Method of Electronic Device", US Patent Publication US 2020/0057589 "ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND SCREEN SHARING METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE", Korean Patent KR 10-2139107 "A system and method for providing broadcasting data mirroring service for smart TVs and smartphones that receive multi-channel broadcasting signals", and/or Korean Patent KR 10-1879254 "A method for generating an alarm by detecting an accident" It replaces the description of the present invention by means known to those skilled in the art through "TV satellite broadcast reception".

Outdoor sites such as camping sites used by users for camping may be vulnerable to natural disasters such as fire, flood, and earthquake. Since it takes a lot of time for the rescue team to arrive at the campsite, when an accident occurs at the campsite where the tent or camper 120 is located, it is important to notify users around the campsite as quickly as possible whether the accident has occurred. It is also important to report the occurrence of an accident at the campsite to the relief control system (for example, the 119 report center operated by the Ministry of Public Safety and Security).

At this time, as a prior art that detects an accident or disaster/disaster occurring in the outdoor field, and controls the satellite tracking antenna 530 to receive an appropriate disaster warning broadcast, the applicant's Korean Patent KR 10-1879254 "Accident" A satellite broadcast reception TV that detects and generates an alarm" has been disclosed.

In KR 10-1879254, the satellite tracking antenna 530 facing a fixed direction and angle is adjusted to receive a satellite channel selected by the user to automatically search for a satellite channel providing a disaster warning broadcast, and the satellite tracking antenna A configuration for controlling auto-tracking of the satellite tracking antenna 530 so that the 530 can receive a satellite channel providing a disaster warning broadcast is disclosed. Disaster alert broadcasts received in this way can be shared for other users in the vicinity, or danger can be notified through warning signals.

Accidents or emergencies that can be assumed at the outdoor site may include fires such as floods and wildfires, and emergency signals that can detect them may be ambient temperature, recorded images, or whether smoke is generated.

When such an emergency situation is detected, an emergency signal notifying a danger may be transmitted and shared. A short-distance communication method such as NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or ZigBee may be used to share the emergency signal.

In addition, as a condition for generating each emergency signal, a criterion for determining whether an emergency situation is present has also been disclosed through the prior document KR 10-1879254. For example, when the detected signal is the temperature of the campsite, the multi-sensor-based emergency detection unit 584 compares the temperature of the campsite with a predetermined threshold, and when the temperature of the campground is higher than the predetermined threshold, the campsite It can be concluded that there is a fire in

In addition, it is possible to enhance the ability to determine whether an accident or danger has occurred in a campground or vehicle using a plurality of detection signals, not just one detection signal. The detection signal of the multi-sensor is the carbon dioxide concentration inside the campground or camper, the temperature inside the campground or camper 120, whether smoke is generated in the campground or camper 120, or whether the campground or camper 120 is photographed. It may be a generated image. In this case, the multi-sensor-based emergency detection unit 584 may determine that a risk has occurred by combining the result of comparing the carbon dioxide concentration or temperature with a predetermined threshold value and whether or not smoke is generated.

According to another embodiment, the emergency control box 580 may determine that a mobile communication network or a wired/wireless IP network is available. In this case, the rescue signal transmitter 586 may transmit the received emergency signal for each risk factor to an external relief control system using a mobile communication network or a wired/wireless IP network.

Here, the relief control system may be a 119 report center operated by the Ministry of Public Safety and Security, etc. The relief control system may determine whether an accident or danger has occurred at the campsite or camper 120 based on the emergency signal.

Meanwhile, KR 10-1879254 discloses a configuration in which a smart satellite antenna device tracks the position of a current satellite broadcast reception TV 540 using a satellite broadcast reception signal.

In addition to this, KR 10-1879254 discloses a technology in which a smart satellite antenna device detects the angle and direction of the satellite tracking antenna 530 . A method of detecting the angle and direction of the satellite tracking antenna 530 may use a geomagnetic sensor, for example, an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) that measures the posture and orientation using the geomagnetic sensor. .

On the other hand, the implementation of a technology using voice recognition to control a smart satellite antenna is described in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. KR 10-2015-0043876 "Method and Apparatus for Searching Satellite Channels", Korean Patent Registration KR 10-2031250 "Satellite having a 360 degree azimuth rotational structure" and terrestrial simultaneous reception auto-tracking antenna", Korean Patent Publication KR 10-2017-0087712 "Display device and control method of display device", US Patent US 10,779,030 "Display Apparatus and Controlling Method Thereof" may be implemented by borrowing some and modifying it to meet the purpose of the present invention. The description of the configuration is replaced by listing the prior documents.

The aforementioned AHRS system is a technology for estimating the angle and altitude of the satellite tracking antenna 530 . In general, the elevation angle of the satellite tracking antenna 530 operates in the range of 15 degrees to 90 degrees, and when the elevation angle exceeds 90 degrees, it is considered as an accident / disaster / disaster in which the vehicle or vessel is overturned (in consideration of safety) To reduce the possibility of fire, etc.) the smart satellite antenna device can be turned off.

In this case, not all components of the smart satellite antenna device are turned off, and the rescue signal transmitter 586 may transmit a rescue signal to an external network while turned on. Meanwhile, the current location tracking unit 582 may track the current location until the satellite tracking antenna 530 is turned off through AHRS and GPS technology. When transmitting the rescue signal, the rescue signal transmitter 586 has the advantage of allowing rescue personnel to determine the location of the antenna (user) until the accident by transmitting the current location information up to the time of the accident.

The multi-sensor may include a temperature sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, a gas sensor, and the like. Since carbon dioxide is the first gas that rapidly increases in concentration when a fire occurs, it can serve as a basis for determining whether a fire is detected. In addition, it is also a means of preventing suffocation accidents in a closed space such as a campground, a camper 120, or the inside of a yacht.

In addition to carbon dioxide, an additional toxic gas sensor can be added to provide a more precise basis for whether a fire has occurred. In addition, combined with the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor, when the temperature exceeds a threshold in consideration of seasonal and geographical factors and the concentration of carbon dioxide or toxic gas increases, it can be determined as a fire and an emergency situation.

In the multi-sensor (not shown) inside the emergency control box 580 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of sensors detect different types of situation information, and synthesize them to determine whether an emergency has occurred and the situation. Various grounds are provided so that the multi-sensor-based emergency detection unit 584 can perform advanced determination of urgency.

For example, acoustic information collected through a microphone, etc. - Explosion sound, impact sound when an object collapses or falls, human scream, human groan, earthquake, landslide, tsunami, flooding, etc. Estimated environmental acoustics may be collected.

At this time, the existing speech recognition technology extracts the keyword by detecting that the user pronounces the keyword with accurate pronunciation, but the artificial intelligence speech recognition technology of the present invention performs pattern learning to identify sound information in consideration of various situations, and as a result As an input, it can be implemented based on a learning model that has acquired the inference ability to estimate the current situation by receiving environmental acoustic information.

In the case of linking the detection information of the AHRS system and the multi-sensor, in an embodiment of the present invention, the antenna 530 may be automatically turned off by recognizing the case where the angle of the satellite antenna 530 exceeds 90 degrees. In another embodiment of the present invention, the content I propose is to synthesize the surrounding environment information collected by the multi-sensor in a situation where the angle of the satellite antenna 530 detected by the AHRS system does not exceed 90 degrees but approaches 90 degrees. The sensor-based emergency detection unit 584 may determine whether there is an emergency such as an accident/disaster/disaster.

Although the angle detected by the AHRS system exceeded 90 degrees, it may not have been an accident, but may have simply fallen due to user error. The prior art cannot detect such a situation, but in another embodiment of the present invention, the multi-sensor-based emergency situation detection unit 584 determines whether it is due to an accident or a user's operation mistake through multi-sensing of the surrounding situation. ) can be determined. For example, if the sound collected through the microphone is laughter, not a scream or impact sound, and indicates a safe situation rather than an urgent situation, the multi-sensor-based emergency detection unit 584 measures the AHRS angle of more than 90 degrees. Even in this case, it can be recognized that it is not an emergency situation. Through multi-sensing like this, it is possible to cross-check whether there is an emergency situation from information detected by different sensors.

In addition, it is possible to determine the range of a target that automatically transmits a rescue signal by synthesizing the information collected by the multi-sensor to determine how urgent the situation is.

For example, in case of a simple accident, a general rescue signal can be transmitted. Alternatively, an urgent rescue signal may be generated when life is urgent, judging by a moaning sound or a screaming sound.

Alternatively, if the information collected by the multi-sensor indicates the occurrence of a local or regional disaster rather than a simple accident, it will be possible to induce a wide range of responses by notifying the disaster-related organization of the occurrence of a disaster in addition to a rescue signal.
