Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for realizing a home control network by using a light switch or light equipment is provided to control lighting equipments or electric home appliances by transmitting infrared signals of infrared terminals to a light switch or light equipment and transmitting the infrared signals from the light switch or light equipment to a wireless network, radio network, or a power line network. CONSTITUTION: Infrared signals transmitted from an infrared remote control, an infrared PDA(Personal Digital Assistance), and an infrared terminal are received through an infrared input unit installed in a light switch(100). An infrared interface converts the infrared signals into electric signals(110). A communication data judging unit judges the converted electric signals to store the electric signals in a main program part(120). The signals stored in the main program part are transmitted to a wireless and wire interface unit(130). A wireless and wire connection part receives the signals from the wireless and wire interface unit for converting the signals into power line communication through a gateway to control electric home appliances(140).

전등 스위치나 전등기구를 이용한 홈컨트롤 네트웍 구현 방법{Method for configurating home control network using an electric switch or light unit}Method for configurating home control network using an electric switch or light unit}

본 발명은 전등 스위치나 전등기구를 이용한 홈컨트롤 네트웍 구현 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 자세하게는 무선 신호가 게이트웨이를 통해 전력선 통신 또는 유선 통신 또는 무선 통신으로 전환하여 네트웍을 구현하는 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of implementing a home control network using a light switch or a light fixture, and more particularly, to a method of implementing a network by converting a wireless signal into power line communication or wired communication or wireless communication through a gateway.

일반적으로 전기기기나 생활용품에는 적외선에 의한 리모컨을 이용하여 무선으로 제어함으로써 사용상의 편리성을 추구하고, 이러한 추세에 따라 비교적 기능이 단순한 전기제품에도 리모콘을 사용하고 있다.In general, the electric appliance or household goods are pursued for convenience of use by controlling by wireless using a remote control by infrared rays, and according to this trend, the remote control is also used for relatively simple electric appliances.

한편, 편리성 추구에 편승하여 실내의 전등기구에도 송수신기로 된 원격제어기를 채용하여 전등 스위치가 있는 곳으로 갈 필요없이 앉거나 누운 자세에서도 전등기구를 점소등할 수 있다.On the other hand, in the pursuit of convenience, it is possible to use a remote controller as a transceiver for indoor lighting fixtures, so that the lighting fixtures can be turned off even in a sitting or lying position without having to go to the place where the light switch is located.

그러나, 상기와 같은 원격제어는 적외선을 이용하여 각 기기를 별도로 제어하는 수준이었기에 통신망을 이용하여 전기기기간의 네트웍 구축이 필요하고, 상기 네트웍을 제어 및 통합 관리하는 방법이 필요하였다. 적외선 자체는 벽이나 가구 등을 투과할 수 없지만 무선통신이나 블루투스 통신으로는 가능하다.However, the remote control as described above was to control each device separately using infrared rays, so it was necessary to establish a network between electric devices using a communication network, and to control and integrate the network. Infrared light itself cannot penetrate walls or furniture, but wireless or Bluetooth communication is possible.

종래에는, 무선 또는 적외선 수광부를 내장한 기기가 적외선 방식을 통해 무선 또는 적외선 수광부를 내장한 다른 기기를 직접 제어하고, 거실이나 안방등의 한공간 내에 있는 기기만을 제어한다는 문제점이 있었다.Conventionally, a device incorporating a wireless or infrared light receiving unit directly controls another device incorporating a wireless or infrared light receiving unit through an infrared method, and controls only devices in a space such as a living room or a room.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래 기술의 제반 단점과 문제점을 해결하기 위한 것으로, 적외선 단말기로부터 받은 적외선 신호를 방안에 노출되어 있는 전등 스위치나 전등기기에서 받고 해당 신호를 무선망 또는 유선망 또는 전력선망으로 전달하여 그 신호를 받은 게인트웨이나 메인 컨트롤러가 받아서 같은 방 또는 다른 방에 있는 조명기기나 가전기기를 제어하는 방법을 제공함에 본 발명의 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages and problems of the prior art, receiving an infrared signal received from an infrared terminal in a light switch or a lighting device that is exposed to the room and receiving the signal in a wireless network or wired network or power line network It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for controlling a lighting device or a home appliance in the same room or another room received by the gateway or the main controller receiving the signal.
