Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0180677, filed on Dec. 27, 2017, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
    • BACKGROUND
  • The present invention relates to management of a remote device, and more particularly, to a system and method for interactive management of remote devices based on Long-Range (LoRa) communication that may remotely manage devices by constructing a low-power long-range communication system for management of remote devices by addressing the issue of a transmission speed difference between a remote device management interface and LoRa communication.
  • Long-Range Sub-Ghz Module (LoRa) communication is intended for Internet of Things (IoT) services requiring low power, low cost, and high reliability. LoRa communication network technology has a much wider range (a maximum of 21 km in an environment where a line of sight is secured) than other wireless protocols, and thus requires fewer repeaters and access points (APs). Accordingly, it may reduce the cost for building an infrastructure and provide higher extensibility and cost efficiency for embedded applications than 3G/4G cellular networks.
  • LoRa uses a Chirp spread spectrum modulation scheme, which is operated at low power, to increase the communication range. Chirp spread spectrum, which has been used in military and space communications for decades because of its wide coverage and robustness to interference, has been introduced into LoRa for commercial use for the first time.
  • The communication range of LoRa is from 2 km to 15 km in an urban area and reaches 30 km in an area where the line of sight is secured. The communication range of LoRa is from 1 km to 2 km in an underground area and is from 2 km to 3 km in an indoor space. LoRa is designed with a spread spectrum scheme to have a bandwidth of 125 kHz and a maximum transmission power of 14 dBm, to operate in an industrial, scientific, and medical radio band (ISM band), and to have a low transfer rate and maximum reception sensitivity of −138 dBm.
  • However, with expansion of IoT services, the number of field devices is increasing, and problems occurring in a system require a system operator to visit the site to control the problems, which may cause difficulties in performing failure recovery and require a longer recovery time.
  • Conventional systems often do not have a remote management function. Further, the conventional systems make it difficult to perform remote management when there is a problem with a network or devices suffer a problem.
  • In particular, since access from the outside is restricted due to reasons such as network security, it is difficult to cope with a problem occurring in the network or in the devices.
  • Therefore, there is a need for a new technology for effectively coping with problems occurring in a network and devices from a remote place.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the performing of the user operation comprises:
transmitting the management command and the transmission option to the gateway when the user inputs the management command and the transmission option through the cloud system server;
transmitting the received command from the gateway to the terminal node through the LoRa communication, receiving the response data for the command and transmitting the received response data to the cloud system server; and
when the transmission option is an option to receive the summary packet, requesting, by the user, desired data by inputting a parameter to receive the summary packet for the received data.
8. The method of claim 6, wherein the performing of the gateway operation comprises:
receiving, by the gateway, the management command and the transmission option input by the user through the cloud system server;
transmitting the received management command and the received transmission option from the gateway to the terminal node through the LoRa communication;
receiving the response data from the terminal node and decoding the received response data; and
transmitting the decoded data to the cloud system server.
9. The method of claim 6, wherein the performing of the terminal node operation comprises:
receiving, by the terminal node, the management command and the transmission option from the gateway through the LoRa communication;
transmitting the received data to the managed device through serial communication and storing corresponding response data through local buffer control; and
compressing and transmitting the stored response data by classifying the stored response data according to the transmission option.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the compressing and transmitting comprises:
when the transmission option is entire packet transmission (1), compressing an entirety of the response data and transmitting the response data to the gateway;
when the transmission option is specific packet transmission (2), compressing specific packet data requested by the user and transmitting the response data to the gateway;
when the transmission option is packet range designation transmission (3), compressing specific packet range data requested by the user and transmitting the response data to the gateway; and
when the transmission option is summary packet transmission (4), compressing first packet data, last packet data, and summary packet data, transmitting the compressed first packet data, last packet data, and summary packet data to the gateway, receiving additional request data from the gateway, and transmitting response data for the additional request data to the gateway.
11. The method of claim 6, wherein the terminal node periodically checks whether the managed device is normal,
wherein, when the terminal node issues a notification upon occurrence of a failure in the managed device, the user remotely transmits a power control command so as to physically control (turn on/off) power of the managed device.
