Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing a remote heating control system according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a remote heating control system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, a remote heating control system according to embodiments of the present invention includes a user terminal 40 and a user terminal operating to remotely control an existing boiler system B installed in an arbitrary room. 40 is a service providing server 60 for identifying and managing the remote control of the user terminal 40, the radio access device 50 to interface between the boiler system (B) and the service providing server 60 to enable data communication It can be implemented to include.

Referring to the configuration of the difference between FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in this configuration, in the remote control system according to the embodiment of FIG. 1, the radio access device 50 is implemented as an independent device separate from the boiler system B. In the embodiment of Figure 2 is shown in the configuration mounted on the motor controller 30 of the boiler system (B) integrally implemented with the motor controller (30). In the case of FIG. 2, since the motor controller 30 enables wireless Internet or near field communication by itself, the service providing server 60 may be directly connected to the motor controller 30 to remotely control the boiler system B. The rest of the configuration performs the same function as follows.

Boiler system (B) generally includes a combustion device including a boiler 10 for generating and circulating heating water, and distributing the heating water discharged from the boiler 10 to each room, and the flow rate of each room by a motor driving valve. It includes a flow controller 20 for controlling, a motor controller 30 for outputting a signal for controlling the motor drive valve of the flow controller 20. The motor controller 30 is connected to the wireless connection device 50 by wire.

The wireless access point (AP) 50 is a module that interfaces to allow access to near field communication or wireless Internet indoors. In particular, the wireless access device 50 according to the embodiment of the present invention means a communication module for performing a wireless connection to the service providing server 60 to remotely control the boiler system (B) of the existing offline state. For example, the wireless access device 50 may be applied to include a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth (BLE) module, and each module may include functions of a Wi-Fi access point and a Bluetooth access point. On the other hand, if there is a wireless LAN router provided by the Internet provider indoors, it may be able to perform a wireless connection with the service providing server 60 via this.

Recently, the Bluetooth module is Bluetooth 4th generation, and may use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology that connects low-power devices and sensors to mobile devices such as smartphones. The existing Bluetooth module is a wireless technology used to exchange data or voice at close range and is widely used to transmit data, audio, and video between devices such as smartphones, laptops, PC peripherals, and earphones. However, typical Bluetooth technology consumes high current, making it unsuitable for battery-based applications that perform long periods of time without battery replacement or charging. On the other hand, the module using Bluetooth low power technology has the advantage of minimizing the power consumption compared to the existing Bluetooth and capable of supporting stable data transmission up to 100m.

The user terminal 40 is built with an application for remote heating control.

Therefore, when the user terminal 40 executes the application and requests the heating control of the boiler system B through the application, the user inputs a set temperature to be controlled in some cases and sends a request message together with the input set temperature to the service providing server 60. To pass).

In this case, when the application is executed in the user terminal, the terminal information of the user terminal 40 is transmitted to the service providing server 60 to perform user authentication, and the set temperature for remote heating control for each user or indoor space (room) Provides an interface screen to inquire and manipulate set temperature. For example, when the application searches based on a user as illustrated in FIG. 6, an indoor space in which the user can operate, a current temperature and a set temperature for each indoor space are displayed, and a scroll manipulation screen for additionally changing the set temperature. Is displayed to operate the indoor heating control through the screen.

The user terminal 40 may mainly utilize a smart phone, but is not limited thereto. If the terminal is capable of establishing a communication module and an application capable of short-range wireless communication such as a personal mobile phone, a PC, a laptop, and the like, all of the terminals may be applied. This will be possible.

The service providing server 60 receives the terminal information of the user terminal 40 together with the remote control request through the application of the user terminal 40 to identify the user. When the user's identification is normally authenticated, the service system server 60 provides the boiler system B with data for controlling the temperature of the indoor heating according to the user-specified set temperature for the user, through the wireless access device 50. To transmit. More specifically, the transmission to the motor controller 30 of the boiler system (B).

At this time, the user-specific setting temperature desired by the user may be provided by inquiring a database matched with the user information, which is set in advance by the service providing server 60 from the user terminal 40. Alternatively, when the identification of the user is normally authenticated in the service providing server 60, the user terminal 40 may be provided by receiving a real time input from the user terminal 40 by requesting the user terminal 40 to input the set temperature for each user.

Accordingly, when the identification of the user is normally authenticated, the service providing server 60 may control the automatic mode or the manual mode according to whether the user-specific set temperature preset by the user is stored. In the case of the automatic mode, the service providing server 60 inquires the set temperature for each user from a pre-stored database to perform remote control according to the inquired set temperature for the user. 40 may be required to enter the desired set temperature.

This is because different people experience different temperatures, even though the same room temperature may be different for each user. For example, at the same 23 ° C., a user who has a lot of heat may feel warm and some users may feel cold. Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to reflect the individual haptic temperature of each user so that the user can control the indoor living or living at a desired set temperature for each user. This is called a user-specific set temperature.

Meanwhile, in the case of the automatic mode, the service providing server 60 inquires the history of the set temperature operated by the user and extracts and extracts the statistical set temperature according to the user's preference or taste based on the history set by the user for a predetermined period of time. Remote heating control can be performed at the set temperature. In addition, when extracting the statistical set temperature, it may be linked with the Meteorological Agency server to extract the appropriate heating set temperature by reflecting the weather and temperature currently provided by the Meteorological Agency.

In addition, the service providing server 60 may be configured to match the user corresponding to the owner or the main resident for each room in any room to identify the user and perform remote control for each room matching the user.

In addition, the service providing server 60 may set a user authority remotely controllable for each user. If the interior is divided into several spaces (rooms), and individual control of heating is possible for each indoor space, user authority may be granted for each indoor space. For example, user A has the user right to control room heating for room 1, room 2, room 3, and living room, and user B has the user right to control room heating for room 3 only. You can limit it. Such user authority setting may be directly set by an administrator or users of indoor heating.

In addition, the service providing server 60 may set priority information on a user right. In the above example, when the user A and B are located in the same indoor space, the service providing server 60 individually controls the heating of the room based on the user-set temperature set by the user A and B. Redundancy control may be performed for 3. In this case, the control is performed based on the set temperature of the user with higher priority among user A or B based on the priority information.

Meanwhile, when the user terminal 40 is located indoors, the service providing server 60 determines the indoor location of the user terminal 40 through the indoor positioning device, and when the user terminal 40 enters or exits the room where the main residence is located. The heating control for each user may be requested to the motor controller 30 through the wireless access device 50 to perform heating control for each room. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5.

Meanwhile, the service providing server 60 tracks the location of the user terminal 40 through GPS when the user terminal 40 is located outdoors rather than indoors, and has a predetermined distance from a place where the location of the user terminal 40 is designated. When entering into the request to the heating control for the user to the motor controller 30 through the wireless access device (50). To this end, the service providing server 60 must be previously provided with a consent for providing the terminal information and the location information for the user terminal 40 through user subscription.

The designated place may be a room where indoor heating is located, or may be a building nearby an indoor place or location information arbitrarily designated by a user. In addition, the predetermined distance from the designated place may be set differently for each user. For example, the user A may be set to 15 m and the user B may be set to 5 m to control the heating of the indoor boiler in advance for the user A in advance compared to the user B. In addition, the set temperature can be determined and controlled and changed according to a certain distance. For example, when the user enters the distance 15m, the temperature is set to 18 ° C, and when the user enters the distance 5m to set the set temperature to 22 ℃, it is possible to change the set temperature of 18 ℃, 22 ℃ according to the user's preference.

Therefore, the remote heating control system according to the embodiments of the present invention configured as described above using a smart phone of the user terminal 40 to identify a plurality of users, the identified user desired setting temperature, user authority, priority By remotely controlling the heating of the room individually according to the ranking, it is characterized by providing a comfortable temperature desired by the user to the room where each user lives or lives. In particular, even when the user terminal 40 is out or located in any space in the room, the user can check the location through the smart phone and allow the user to enter a designated indoor space (indoor) or a specified distance (outdoor). Can automatically perform heating control remotely.

3 is a diagram illustrating a detailed configuration of a service providing server applied to a remote control system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data structure in which user information is databased.

The service providing server 60 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a communication unit 61, a user identification unit 62, a user information DB 63, an authority setting unit 64, an individual control unit 65, and a control history unit ( 66, a location recognizing unit 67.

The communication unit 61 is in charge of data communication with the boiler system B or the user terminal 40. In this case, the communication unit 61 includes a module for connecting to the communication network 70 or the wireless access device 50.

The user identification unit 62 receives the terminal information of the user terminal connected through the communication unit 61 to identify the user. The identification of the user may be determined based on the data previously stored in the user information DB 63.

In the user information DB 63, personal information about a user and terminal information of the user are basically constructed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the user information DB 63 may include room information, user authority setting information, heating setting temperature, priority information, and the like, which are main residences for each user.

The authority setting unit 64 may set whether or not a user authority capable of heating control for each user according to the indoor space is stored in the user information DB 63. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, user A may control the

rooms

1, 2, 3, and living room 1, and users B and D may control the

rooms

3 and 1, respectively. . User C can authorize control over

rooms

1 and 2. These user rights can be set directly by the administrator or each user.

When the user's identification is normally authenticated through the user identification unit 62, the individual control unit 65 receives the desired setting temperature of the identified user and controls the temperature of the indoor heating according to the setting temperature for each user. At this time, the on and off operations of the indoor heating can be controlled at the same time. For example, if the identified user is indoors or enters the room, the on-motion can be remotely controlled for indoor heating control, and if the identified user is located outdoors and outside the designated distance, the indoor heating is turned off to go out mode. Can be controlled remotely.

In addition, the individual controller 65 may individually control the room information or the user authority information of each user based on a setting temperature desired by the user for each room (space). The user's desired set temperature may be provided by inquiring from data previously stored in the user information DB 63, or may be provided in real time through manual input from the user terminal.

Accordingly, the individual control unit 65 may be divided into automatic mode and manual mode for each user, and may be controlled by receiving a user-specified temperature according to the set mode. For example, when set to the automatic mode, the individual control unit 65 inquires the data previously stored in the user information DB 63, extracts the user-specific set temperature previously set by the user terminal, and based on the extracted user-set temperature. The room heating can be controlled automatically. In addition, when the automatic mode is set, the individual control unit 65 extracts the statistical setting temperature reflecting the user's preference or taste based on the history of the setting temperature operated by the user for a predetermined period in cooperation with the control history unit 66. can do. In addition, when the automatic mode is set, the individual controller 65 may extract the appropriate heating setting temperature by reflecting the weather and temperature of the region where the user is currently located in association with the meteorological office server.

In addition, when the manual mode is set, the individual controller 65 may request the user terminal to input a desired set temperature, and may be provided in real time through manual input of the user terminal.

On the other hand, the individual control unit 65 can remotely control the heating temperature of the corresponding indoor space individually according to the user authority information preset in the authority setting unit 64 when the user identification is normally authenticated through the user identification unit 62. have. At this time, the on and off operations of the indoor heating may be controlled at the same time. For example, when identified as the user A as shown in the example of FIG. 4, the temperature of the room heating may be set for the

rooms

1, 2, 3, and living room 1 with user rights. In case of user B, the user can control the set temperature 23 ℃.

In addition, the individual controller 65 may set priority information on user authority. Therefore, when the user's identification is normally authenticated through the user identification unit 62, the individual control unit 65 controls to perform heating control of the corresponding indoor space according to preset priority information. According to this, it is possible to prevent overlapping control with other users in the same indoor space. In the example of FIG. 4, when the users A and B, the users A and C, and the users A and D coexist with users who have duplicate user rights in the same indoor space, control is performed based on the user information of user A having a high priority. Perform

On the other hand, the individual control unit 65 tracks the position of the user terminal through the GPS in conjunction with the position recognition unit 67, and if the position of the user terminal enters within a certain distance from the designated place to control the heating of the controller of the boiler system You can request At this time, the individual controller 65 receives the user-set temperature set in advance by the user and controls the temperature of the heating based on this.

On the other hand, the individual control unit 65 receives the location information of the user terminal in conjunction with the indoor positioning device installed in the room, and controls the heating temperature of the room when the user is recognized as entering the room from the location information of the user terminal.

For example, FIG. 5 illustrates a concept of controlling heating in each room according to a location of a user in association with an indoor positioning device.

Indoor positioning devices (S1, S2, S3, S4, etc.) are installed in each room as shown in FIG. 5, mounted on a heating thermostat (A) provided in each room, or provided in a dongle form. It can be installed at the entrance of each room. In addition, the indoor positioning device (S1, S2, S3, S4, etc.) is an example of a BLE module, but is not limited to this, may be applied to the Wi-Fi module, various sensors and the like.

When the user terminal enters each room, the indoor positioning devices (S1, S2, S3, S4, etc.) installed in each room detect the user terminal and basically include the terminal information and the room location information where the indoor positioning device is installed. It can be delivered to the service providing server. At this time, the indoor positioning device (S1, S2, S3, S4, etc.) can be delivered to the service providing server through a wireless LAN router (WiFi access point) built for wireless Internet connection indoors.

In this case, the service providing server identifies the user based on the terminal information and the location information received from the indoor positioning device (S1, S2, S3, S4, etc.), and turns on the heating depending on whether the identified user enters or exits each room. Perform off and temperature control. In addition, when room information, which is a main residence, is set for the identified user, the service providing server may perform heating control only when the identified user enters and exits his room.

That is, when the heating control screen for any room is called by executing an application installed in the user terminal, as shown in FIG. 6, the current room temperature and the set temperature for each user are displayed for each room (space) for each corresponding room. A scroll manipulation screen for changing the set temperature for each room may be displayed.

In addition, only the users (users B and F) who have user authority in the room can display the current heating status of the remote control.

In addition, when the user logs in based on the user ID by executing the application, the room information that the user ID can operate, the current room temperature and the set temperature for each user are displayed, and the scroll operation screen for changing the set temperature for each user Can be displayed.

7 illustrates a location of a user located indoors or outdoors from a designated room, and a status of performing automatic heating control according to the location of the user may be displayed. For example, if a user who enters within 5 km from the designated room is identified, the heating temperature is controlled to 20 ° C., and when the user enters within 5 km or more of the 15 km distance from the designated room (home), the room heating is controlled to 18 ° C. Is showing. In the interface screen of FIG. 7, users A and D are located within 5 km, and users F and C are located within 5 km or more and 15 km. However, remote control is performed only for a user who has specified location recognition for each user. In addition, the remote control is performed for each room set when the user enters a certain distance in which room information of the main residence is set for each user.

8 is a view showing an example of integrally implemented by mounting a wireless access device according to an embodiment of the present invention in a motor controller.

For example, a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth module 51 (hereinafter, referred to as a connect module) capable of wireless Internet or short-range wireless communication is implemented as an SD card type, and the connect module 51 of the SD card type is a PCB board or board type of a motor controller. Can be inserted into the communication module 52. In this case, the user terminal may directly perform data communication with the motor controller without communicating with the wireless access device.

Accordingly, the motor controller can be applied as an IoT (Internet Of Things) terminal that can be controlled and monitored by a smartphone, a Wi-Fi or a Bluetooth enabled terminal.

Hereinafter, the remote heating control method will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 based on the above configuration.

In the steps S8 and S12, the service providing server 60 may check whether there is user authority information capable of heating control for each user. When the user authority information is set, the service providing server 60 controls the temperature or on / off operation of indoor heating according to the preset user authority information. In addition, when the indoor space is divided, it is possible to individually control the temperature of the heating or the on / off operation according to the space.

In addition, in steps S8 and S12, the service providing server 60 may check whether priority information on user authority information is included. When included, the service providing server 60 preferentially performs control of the corresponding indoor heating according to preset priority information.

On the other hand, when the user goes out, it is possible to remote control through the process of FIG.

First, as in step S20, the service providing server 60 may track the location of the user terminal 40 based on the GPS communication.

In the next step S21, it is determined whether the location of the user terminal 40 tracked by the service providing server 60 is located within a predetermined distance from the designated place. The distance from the designated place can be set differently for each user. In addition, the set temperature can be set differently step by step at a predetermined distance, and each user can change and manipulate the set temperature.

In the next step S22, if the location of the user terminal 40 is located within a predetermined distance from the designated place, the service providing server 60 to inform the motor controller 30 of the boiler system within a certain distance through the wireless access device and the corresponding user Request heating control for.
