먼저, 콘센트(100)에 대해 살펴보면 도 2를 참조할 수 있는데, 도 2는 본 발명에 따른 불필요한 대기전력 소모를 방지하는 콘센트를 관리하기 위한 시스템에서 콘센트의 구성을 블록도로 나타낸 것이다.First, referring to the outlet 100, FIG. 2 may be referred to. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an outlet in a system for managing an outlet to prevent unnecessary standby power consumption according to the present invention.
첨부된 도면의 도 2에 따르면, 콘센트(100)는 제1 근거리통신부(110), 대기전력검출부(120), 대기전력비교부(130), 온/오프제어부(140), 운동량판단부(150), 기준정보 저장부(160), 인증정보 저장부(170) 및 생활패턴정보 저장부(180)를 주요하게 포함할 수 있다.According to FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings, the outlet 100 is the first short-range communication unit 110, standby power detection unit 120, standby power comparison unit 130, on / off control unit 140, momentum determination unit 150 , The reference information storage unit 160, the authentication information storage unit 170, and the life pattern information storage unit 180 may be mainly included.
제1 근거리통신부(110)는, 단말기(200)와 근거리 통신이 가능하도록 하며, 블루투스, Wi-Fi, Wireless, NFC, 지그비 등의 통신방식을 지원한다.The first local area communication unit 110 enables short-range communication with the terminal 200 and supports communication methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wireless, NFC, and Zigbee.
또한, 첨부된 도면의 도 1과 같이 태그를 포함하는 경우 제1 근거리통신부(110)는 태그와 근거리 통신이 가능하도록 할 수도 있는데, 이때 단말기(200)와 태그의 통신방식은 동일한 방식을 적용할 수 있으며, 각기 다른 통신방식이 적용될 수도 있다.In addition, when the tag includes a tag as shown in FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, the first short-range communication unit 110 may enable short-range communication with the tag. In this case, the terminal 200 and the communication method of the tag may apply the same method. In addition, different communication methods may be applied.
대기전력검출부(120)는, 콘센트(100)에 연결된 가전제품의 대기전력을 검출하는 기능을 한다.The standby power detection unit 120 functions to detect standby power of a home appliance connected to the outlet 100.
그리고 대기전력검출부(120)를 통해 검출된 특정 가전제품의 대기전력은, 기준정보 저장부(160)에 저장된 기준정보와 함께 대기전력비교부(130)에 의해 비교된다.The standby power of the specific home appliance detected by the standby power detector 120 is compared by the standby power comparison unit 130 together with the reference information stored in the reference information storage unit 160.
즉 대기전력비교부(130)는 검출된 대기전력과 기준정보를 비교하는 것으로서, 비교결과 검출된 대기전력이 기준정보 미만이면 온/오프제어부(140)를 통해 콘센트(100)가 오프(off) 동작되도록 한다.That is, the standby power comparison unit 130 compares the detected standby power with reference information. When the detected standby power is less than the reference information, the outlet 100 is turned off through the on / off control unit 140. Be sure to
여기서 기준정보란, 가전제품의 오프(off) 동작을 제어하기 위한 대기전력에 대응되는 일정기준으로서, 이 일정기준은 가전제품을 오프(off) 동작시켜도 되는지 안되는지를 판단하는 기준이다.Here, the reference information is a predetermined standard corresponding to standby power for controlling the off operation of the household electrical appliance. The predetermined standard is a criterion for determining whether or not the household electrical appliance can be operated off.
즉, 상기 가전제품의 대기전력이 (a)미사용에 의한 것인지, (b)일시적인 절전에 의한 것으로서 사용중인 것인지를 비교결과로 판단하여 상기 가전제품을 오프(off) 시킬 것인지를 판단한다.That is, it is determined whether the household electrical appliance is turned off by judging whether the standby power of the household electrical appliance is due to (a) nonuse or (b) being used as a temporary power saving.
온/오프제어부(140)는 상술된 바와 같이 대기전력이 기준정보 미만인 경우 해당 가전제품이 연결된 콘센트(100)를 오프(off) 동작시키는 기능을 한다.As described above, the on / off control unit 140 functions to turn off the outlet 100 to which the corresponding home appliance is connected when the standby power is less than the reference information.
또한 단말기(200)가 콘센트(100)의 통신가능 범위에 위치하여 제1 근거리통신부(110)를 통해 단말기(200)와 근거리 통신이 가능하게 되어 연결되면, 콘센트(100)가 온(on)되도록 제어할 수 있다.In addition, when the terminal 200 is located in the communication range of the outlet 100 to enable short-range communication with the terminal 200 through the first short-range communication unit 110, the outlet 100 is turned on. Can be controlled.
이때 온(on)/오프(off) 동작되는 대상은 바람직하게 콘센트 삽입구마다 개별적으로 제어가 가능하도록 할 수 있으나, 복수의 콘센트 삽입구를 구비하는 단일의 콘센트가 제어되도록 할 수도 있다.In this case, the object to be turned on / off may preferably be individually controlled for each outlet insertion hole, but a single outlet having a plurality of outlet insertion holes may be controlled.
한편, 본 발명에 따른 콘센트(100)는 단말기(200)가 통신 가능한 범위를 벗어났다고 하더라도 무조건 오프(off) 동작되지 않는 것을 특징으로 한다.On the other hand, the outlet 100 according to the present invention is characterized in that the terminal 200 is unconditionally off even if it is out of the communication range.
즉, 콘센트(100)의 오프(off) 동작은 대기전력의 검출과 비교에 의해서만 이루어질 뿐, 단말기(200)가 통신 가능한 범위를 벗어나더라고 대기전력의 비교결과 기준정보를 초과하는 경우 해당 콘센트를 오프(off) 동작시키지 않는 것이다.That is, the off operation of the outlet 100 is performed only by the detection and comparison of the standby power, and the terminal 200 is turned off when the terminal 200 exceeds the standard information as a result of the comparison of the standby power even if it is out of the communication range. (off) Do not run.
왜냐하면, 단말기(200)가 통신가능한 범위를 벗어났다고 해서 무조건 적으로 콘센트(100)가 오프(off) 동작된다면, 이에 연결되어 있던 가전제품이 오프(off)되어 사용자가 작업 중이던 정보(예를 들어, 컴퓨터 작업에 의한 정보)가 함께 삭제될 수 있기 때문이다.If the terminal 200 is unconditionally turned off because the terminal 200 is out of the communication range, the home appliance connected to the terminal 200 is turned off and the information that the user is working (for example, Information by computer tasks) can be deleted together.
