First Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary overall system for energy saving according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

1, the entire system for energy saving according to the present invention includes an illuminance sensor 103 for sensing the brightness of the light 101, a human body detection sensor 104 for detecting whether there is a person in the room, And a control system 100 for controlling the illuminance sensor 103 and the human body sensor 104 so as to appropriately control the operation of the device 102 and the lighting device 101 as necessary to save energy.

Hereinafter, the control system 100 will be described in more detail. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary configuration of the illumination and power device control system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

2, the illumination and electric power system control system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an illumination sensor 103 and a human body detection sensor 104, And a control output unit 150. The system control unit 110 controls the operation of the illumination control unit 110 and the mode setting unit 120,

First, an illumination lighting determination unit 110 according to the present invention is configured to illuminate an illumination (illumination lamp) 101 disposed in a room in order to selectively operate the illumination lamp 101 when necessary (for example, when a person is in the room or absent) (ON / OFF) of the illumination 101 according to the magnitude of the brightness of the illumination 101 measured through the illumination unit 101 or 103.

At this time, the brightness of the illumination 101 is initially peaked, and when the brightness is larger than the predetermined value, the illumination 101 is turned ON. When the illumination 101 is small, the illumination 101 is turned ON. The light 101 refers to an illumination lamp disposed in a room.

Next, the mode setting unit 120 according to the present invention sets the on / off delay time magnitudes of the illumination in the order of the standby mode, the monitoring mode, and the centralized monitoring mode. For example, in the standby mode, the ON / OFF delay time is set to 5 minutes, the ON / OFF delay time is set to 1 minute in the monitoring mode, and the ON / OFF delay time is set to 30 So that the size of the on / off delay time of the illumination 101 is set differently.

The reason why the delay time is different is to control the response time of the control as described in the 'technical field'. For example, when the on / off delay time of the illumination increases, the response time of the controller 130 to be described later becomes long. However, if the on / The control unit 130 adjusts the operation of the control unit 130 by taking a short time in comparison with other modes (for example, the concentrated mode and the standby mode) and increasing the on / off delay time length of the standby mode. Therefore, it is possible to reduce unnecessary operations of the control unit 130, rather than bringing the ON / OFF delay time of the conventional lighting 101 constant and long.

 Next, the controller 130 controls each mode in response to the setting of the on / off delay time magnitude of illumination according to each of the above-described modes. For example, the control unit 130 according to the present invention operates in a monitoring mode when the lighting 101 is turned on and in a concentrated monitoring mode when the lighting 101 is turned off. Standby mode. These models are converted in the following order: surveillance mode, concentrated monitoring mode, and standby mode.

For example, in the monitoring mode, since the probability that a person is in the room is high, the response time is periodically taken. In the case of conversion from the monitoring mode to the centralized monitoring mode, there is a high probability that a person is re- The response time is the fastest. In the case of conversion from the centralized monitoring mode to the standby mode, the response time is the longest since the person is most likely to have the response time.

Here, the response time means a response speed of the controller 130 responding to a large ON / OFF delay time of the illumination 101. [

Next, the human body detection determination unit 140 according to the present invention determines whether or not a person is re-established in response to the lighting response time of the illumination 101. [ At this time, the human body detection sensor 104 is used to judge whether or not the room is re-occupied.

For example, when the illumination 101 is turned on and is operated in the monitoring mode, it reacts by the delay time of the monitoring mode, which is a medium degree, and periodically reestablishes the state through the human body detection sensor 104. In this manner, if the rewiring is periodically judged in the monitoring mode, it is possible to immediately recognize the case where the person in the rewiring room is not detected, so that the amount of energy can be saved.

When the lighting 101 is turned off and is operated in the centralized monitoring mode, when it is judged whether or not the room 101 is suddenly reacted by the delay time of the centralized monitoring mode, if the person suddenly enters the room, It is possible to save as much energy.

On the other hand, when the illumination 101 is turned off and the apparatus is operated in a standby mode having a long delay time, it is possible to reduce the system energy consumption as much as possible because the probability of no person is highest.

As described above, by varying the delay time of each mode, it is possible to reduce the operation of the control unit and reduce the unnecessary operation of the power device 104, thereby reducing energy consumption.

Finally, the control output unit 150 according to the present invention receives the control command signal generated by the controller 130 in response to the determination result, if it is determined through the human body detection determination unit 140 as described above, So that the power device 102 is turned on and off.

For example, if the person is in the room, the control output unit 150 according to the present invention will generate a control command signal under the control of the control unit 130 and send it to the power equipment 102, To be turned ON. On the other hand, if the person is in the absence room, a control command signal corresponding thereto will be generated in the control unit 130, and transmitted to the power equipment 102 to receive the control command signal to turn off the power equipment 102. At this time, the control command signal is preferably an infrared signal.

In this way, the illuminance sensor 103 and the human body detection sensor 104 according to the mode operation are operated to determine whether the illumination is on (ON or OFF) and whether or not the power device is turned ON (ON, OFF) And energy can be saved by preventing unnecessary abuse of energy of the electric power equipment.

On the other hand, the power device 102 to be controlled may be one of a cooling and heating device, an air conditioner, and a fan. These power devices 102 are devices that help people live their lives indoors.

Second Embodiment

3 is a flowchart exemplarily showing a method S100 for simultaneously controlling the lighting device 101 and the power device 102 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation procedure of each mode according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, each of the terms described below is described in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, so that the additional description will be omitted.

As shown, a method S100 for controlling the illumination 101 and the power device 102 simultaneously controls the illumination and the power device using an illumination sensor and a human body sensor.

First, a control method (S100) according to the present invention uses an illuminance sensor (103) to determine whether illumination is on or off. When the illuminance sensor 103 is equal to or greater than a preset value for the brightness of the illumination, the illumination 101 is turned on. If the illuminance sensor 103 is less than the predetermined value, the illumination 101 is turned off (S110).

In step S120, the control method S100 according to the present invention switches to the monitoring mode when the lighting 101 is turned on as a result of the determination in step S110.

Thereafter, the control method S100 according to the present invention determines whether the person is re-established periodically in response to the delay time of the illumination set in the monitoring mode after switching to ON in step S120. At this time, the judgment of the re-insertion is made using the human body detection sensor 104.

That is, the human body detection sensor 104 immediately detects whether there is a person entering the room, for example, in response to a delay time of a predetermined monitoring mode because the probability that a person is in the room is high, .

In step S140, the control method S100 according to the present invention switches to the centralized monitoring mode when the illumination is turned off as a result of step S110.

Thereafter, the control method S100 according to the present invention re-determines whether the human body is reattached by the human body sensor in response to the delay time of the illumination set in the centralized monitoring mode after switching to the centralized monitoring mode at step S14O (S150 ). At this time, the centralized monitoring mode is set to a delay time shorter than the delay time of the monitoring mode described above.

For example, if the delay time of the monitoring mode is 1 minute, it may be set to 30 seconds shorter than this. The reason why the delay time of the centralized monitoring mode is shorter than the delay time of the monitoring mode is that the control response time of the control unit 130 is rapidly brought up for a short delay time, ) Is turned on to save energy.

If the delay time of the monitoring mode and the delay time of the centralized monitoring mode are different from each other, the energy of the light 101 is greatly reduced.

Thereafter, the control method S100 according to the present invention controls the on / off operation of the power device 104 through the control command signal in accordance with the result of determining whether the power is re-established in steps S130 and S150 (S160). At this time, the control command signal is a signal generated by the controller 130 that operates in response to the delay time of the monitoring mode and the delay time of the centralized monitoring mode, thereby controlling the on / off operation of the power device 104 through the signal.

Here, when the power device 104 is turned on, it is generated in response to the delay time of the monitoring mode. When the power device 104 is turned off, It is possible to suppress unnecessary operation of the power device when the person is absent. This can save the energy of electric power equipment.

The control method S100 according to the present invention switches the power device to the standby mode when the power device is turned off in step S160 as a result of determining whether the power device is a room or not in step S130 and step S150. This is in line with entering standby mode when the power device is stopped.

At this time, the delay time of the standby mode is longer than the delay time of the monitoring mode and the central monitoring mode described above. Therefore, it is judged intermittently whether or not to recharge in the delay time of the standby mode.

In this case, it is possible to reduce unnecessary energy use of the control system by reducing the operation according to the control response time of the control unit.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments or constructions. You can understand that you can do it. The embodiments described above are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
