Description

Multifaceted Smart Grid Unit for Energy Saving and Its Operation Method

The present invention, in using the power of the home, not only reduce the power more efficiently, but also to expand the overall energy saving, as well as multi-functional smart grid unit for energy saving to plan and implement the power production And how to operate it.

In particular, the present invention is to install a separate digital power meter connected in series to the mechanical power meter inside the home of a household, and connect the standby power outlet to one or some wall power outlets installed on the wall, It helps the home by reducing the standby power, and the digital power meter can easily measure the power used in a certain area expanded in one home, and also measure the power consumption that can be used in a certain area. The present invention relates to a multi-faceted smart grid unit and its operation method for energy saving that can be predicted and easily produced and produced.

The present invention relates to a standby power blocking outlet for cutting off standby power flowing into a home appliance connected to a household standby power outlet (= multi-tap). Electronic devices (= appliances) are powered, but power that constantly leaks while not in operation is often called standby power, which has been recognized as a major culprit of power wastage in developed countries. Nicknamed the PowerVampire, the importance of energy and the environment has emerged, and standby power has to be actively eradicated.

VCR. TV. Microwave. dish washer. Cell phone chargers have more power to be sent in a standby state that is connected to a power source but does not perform a function than the time required to perform a device. It's easier to think about how many hours a day you use a household microwave oven, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 10-15% of the average power consumption of OECO member economies is consumed by standby power. About 12% of the consumption is reported to be consumed by standby power.

In developed countries, most electronic products, such as VCRs in living rooms, cable set-top boxes, hair dryers in bathrooms, electric shavers, and microwaves in kitchens, are plugged into outlets while the user is away from home, and energy is lost to standby power. As the arrow is returning to the Asian electronics companies that mainly produce these devices, it shows that the domestic electronics companies, which are wasting energy by allowing standby power to be consumed without any neglect, are simply uneasy.

In particular, the most problematic of these home appliances is a device in which a certain amount of current must flow in order to receive the operation of the remote controller. In the case of a TV, it is already common to turn on and off at a desired time according to a control signal of a remote controller. In the case of a fan and an air conditioner, a certain amount of current is wasted in order to receive a control signal that the user may turn off. It stays on in the form of.

In order to block the waste of standby power, it is possible only to overcome the laziness of real life enjoyed by human beings. You should seek diligence in accessing consumer electronics and break through the convenience of a recoat controller. It's very simple, but it's not easy. This is because all human lives have been sought for convenience and comfort, and these directions and trends have always been regarded as a right, fresh, and improvement task. Some people have made a lot of efforts to achieve this and are encouraging their achievements, especially since they will continue to do their best.

By the way, the present invention is to add a small hassle to this conventional convenience to obtain a lot of profit. In addition to the small efforts of humans, while maintaining the convenience of the conventional pursuit, while trying to obtain a large amount of profit. To this end, it is necessary to recognize the method and form of use of home appliances. First, all home appliances do not use the remote controller to control ON and OFF. Second, inside the building, there are many power outlets on the wall, but that is not enough. You need to be aware that you have no choice but to use a multi-tap outlet.

In conclusion, the present invention is intended to block the waste of standby power by using a multi-step outlet only for home appliances where a remote controller is absolutely necessary. In the case of home appliances that do not require other remote controllers, the consumption of wasted and leaking power is insignificant and was not accepted as a challenge.

Fig. 17 shows the overall concept of this invention.

In the present invention, in the use of household appliances of a household, the most effective use of power is the same as in the prior art, but the fee for the use of electric power provides a way to pay the cheapest. Furthermore, the present invention predicts the power consumption in the entire country by expanding the power used in each home in a certain region or more, and generates a minimum power consumption by using the reliable predicted power consumption as well as through The present invention also relates to a method for enabling optimal power use by adjusting the amount of power produced at each time. Therefore, the configuration of the present invention and the operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the present invention is installed in a plurality of homes, but is inserted into a power outlet 14 on a wall to have an outlet groove K into which two plugs can be fitted, but two outlet grooves. One of the (K) measures the current by the current sensor (2) (44) when a certain amount of current flows, while the current leakage cut-off function so that the current is interrupted through a separate cutoff switch 45, while the current flowing is already A standby power outlet 46 which cuts off the current even when it is smaller than the reference value of one standby current to block the waste of the standby current; The other one of the two outlet grooves (K), when a certain amount of current flows separately from the standby power outlet 46, it is measured by the current sensor (1) (43) to conduct electricity through a separate earth leakage cut-off switch 42 A constant power outlet 43 to shut off; An expression unit 49 for expressing the amount of current flowing through the outlet of the outlet groove K, the amount of change thereof, and necessary information; A communication module (2) 48 for transmitting and receiving control signals and necessary information and data under the control of the microcomputer (2) 47; Control and manage the operation of the ground fault interrupt switch 42, the disconnect switch 45, the current sensors 1 and 2 (41; 44), and the communication module (2) 48 in the standby power outlet 46 The standby power outlet (= multistep) 40 including the microcomputer 2 and 47 is formed. And connected to the side of the mechanical power meter (not shown) in series, the digital power meter (30) for measuring the power used in the same household measured by the mechanical power meter (not shown) through the operation of the CT sensor 31 (30) And information related to the standby power outlet 40 transmitted from the communication module 2 and the communication module 1 embedded in the standby power outlet 40 and the digital power meter reader 30, and its data. There is a gateway (3) for receiving the information related to the digital power meter reader 30 and its data to the management server (2), the newly changed information or data transmitted from the gateway (3), and delivers to each home, It is configured to include a management server (2) to utilize. Therefore, the present invention not only manages power efficiently but also prevents abuse of power use.

In other words, the present invention first cuts off the power flowing in the home using the standby power outlet 40. The amount of household appliances consumed for each household is kept the same as before, but the power consumption fee is generated at a lower cost by substantially saving power consumption. Of course, this invention seeks to block the waste of power used in certain regions or across a country after achieving its desired purpose. This is achieved through the digital power meter reader 30 already installed in each home. The digital power meter reader 30 measures the amount of current flowing into the home and transfers it to the management server 2 through the gateway 3. Collecting this information, this invention measures the current consumption and seeks various benefits through this. That is, when all the information about the current introduced from each home through the digital power meter reader 30 is acquired, it is in a state where the management server 2 can read and remotely pay the fee. This is enlarged so that if the management server 2 manages the APT complex A in a certain area, it can already receive the expected consumption of power that can be generated in this APT complex A. This is already disclosed through the "profit method of apartment management using digital power metering" of 10-2014-0075031 filed by the applicant of the present invention.

It is this invention that prevents the waste of power generated in the home, expands it to a certain area, and prevents the waste of power throughout the world, and the members of each household find ways to prevent the waste of power and enjoy doing it profitably and joyfully. Form a habit of doing. This is a huge benefit as it can be further extended to control and plan the generation of power.

They first need to be aware of the function and operation of the above-described standby power outlet 30. The standby power outlet (= multi-step outlet, multi-step; 40) is a standby current, as shown in Figs. In order to receive the control signal of the remote controller used in the home, a certain amount of current always flows in the TV and is kept alive. In a typical home, such a home appliance that can only flow the standby current is considerable. Most TVs do, and components, as well as home appliances such as air conditioners and fans, operate through remote controllers. In addition, refrigerators, hair dryers, computers, etc. are not normally operated through the operation of the remote controller, and are often optional. This home appliances that must always be turned on is used in each home, but this is not subject to the management of the standby power outlet 30 of the present invention.

As shown, the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention has two current sensors 41 and 44. One is the current sensor (1) 41 for the constant power outlet 43, the other is the current sensor (2) 44 for the standby power outlet 46. If the amount of current generated by the standby power outlet 46 reaches a predetermined amount of current intended by the user, the current sensors 2 and 44 detect this and transmit the same to the microcomputer 2 and 47. The microcomputers 2 and 47 read the detection of the current sensors 2 and 44. The read information is issued as a control signal, and the microcomputers 2 and 47 operate the cutoff switch 45. In the present invention, the microcomputer 2 and 47 generate control signals when a current of 15 A or more is energized since 15 A is regarded as the best load to be handled by the standby power outlet (= multi-tap outlet, multi-tap; 40) as in the prior art. Let's do it. This signal activates the cutoff switch 45 to substantially block all current flowing to the standby power outlet 46. The use of household appliances is temporarily suspended. Thereafter, when the user manually operates the click switch 122 formed on the standby power outlet (= multistep; 40) of the present invention or the external short switch 125 to be described later, the standby power source of the standby power outlet (= multistep; 40) The outlet 46 is restarted again. Of course, some of the plurality of home appliance plugs inserted into the standby power outlet 46 of the standby power outlet (= multi-step) 40 need to be removed so that no further blocking occurs.

On the contrary, when the amount of current generated by another always-on power outlet 43 also becomes a predetermined amount of current intended by the user, the current sensor 1 and 41 detect this, and transfer it to the microcomputer 2 and 47. do. The microcomputers 2 and 47 read the detection of the current sensors 1 and 41. The read information is issued as a control signal, so that the microcomputers 2 and 47 operate the ground fault interrupting switch 42. In the present invention, the microcomputer 2 (47) generates a control signal when a current of 15 A or more is energized since 15 A is regarded as the best load to be handled by the standby power outlet (= multi-step outlet 40) as in the related art. This signal activates the ground fault interrupting switch 42 to block substantially all current flowing through the constant power supply outlet 43. The use of household appliances is temporarily suspended. Then, when the user manually operates the click switch 122 formed in the standby power outlet (= multistep; 40) of the present invention, the continuous power outlet 43 of the standby power outlet (= multistep; 40) is restarted again. Begins. Of course, some of the plurality of home appliance plugs inserted into the constant power outlet 43 of the standby power outlet (= multi-step) 40 must be removed so that no further blocking occurs. The above is one function of the invention standby power outlet (= multi-tap outlet) 40. The standby power outlet 40 of the present invention is added to another function to prevent the waste of standby power.

That is, the method of detecting the standby power is operated by a home appliance inserted into the standby power outlet 40, that is, a remote controller capable of mass-producing standby power when the standby power outlet (= multistep; 40) of the present invention is operated. Power is supplied to this home appliance. The current generated at this moment is standby power. Although home appliances are nominally powered, standby power is the power that flows in the ready state to operate according to the operation of the remote controller. This standby power is the same as the current flowing before the new home appliance is inserted into the standby power outlet 46 or a part of the plug which has been inserted is removed. Since the current flowing at this moment is standby power, the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention reads this current and stores it. The storage of the information may be directly accomplished by the microcomputer 2 or 47, or may have a separate memory device or a memory element, not shown.

For reference, the current sensor (1) 41 and the current sensor (2) 44 is the same or similar configuration, only the standby power value and the current value of the current transmitted from the outlet to the microcomputer (2) 47 All can be calculated. Current sensor (2) (44) is generally composed of a current sensor (CT), a diode, a smoothing capacitor, a zener diode and a resistor, in proportion to the power supplied to the home appliances connected to the outlet It functions to detect the current of the loads, and the diode and the smoothing capacitor rectify and convert the currents of the detected loads into a DC signal, and the currents of the loads detected through the resistance are converted into voltages to the AD converter (not shown) of Micom Will enter. It is preferable to protect the microcomputer 2 and 47 through the zener diode so that the voltage input to the AD converter (not shown) does not exceed 5 V at the maximum.

That is, the microcomputer (2) 47 converts the current flowing through the current transformer CT into a voltage. At this time, if the current value is small, the voltage of the microcomputer's AD converter is low. If it is determined that the power or off mode and the current value is large, it is determined that the home appliance is in use because the voltage value coming into the AD of the microcomputer 2 and 47 is high. In the end, it is expressed as comparing the power value and the current value for the user's understanding, so when the load is not used, it is judged as standby power because the voltage is low, and when the load is used, it is judged as the load power because the voltage is high. To supply power to the outlet. In the microcomputer, it is determined whether to use the home appliance by comparing the voltage coming into the AD through the current transformer (CT), but the principle is that the current transformer (CT) detects the current, so that it can be judged by comparing the current. Therefore, since the standby power or the load power is determined, the standby power can be compared and judged. The external short switch 125, which will be described later, is a switch portion capable of turning on / off the main power supply by itself.

In this invention, as described above, once the power is supplied to the standby power outlet (= multi-step; 40), the standby power at that moment is read as an initial value (both current or power can be used), and this initial value is used as the reference value. Once you are confirmed, you will spend a certain amount of time. The reason is that the user who has turned on the power will be ready to use the appliance while supplying standby power. Turn on the TV or turn on the air conditioner. When the load rises and current flows in this way, the aforementioned short circuit detection, that is, whether the current of 15 A or more flows is continuously performed. When this use is made, when the time of evening sleep approaches, the user turns off all appliances and takes a break. At this time, when the current flowing to the home appliance, i.e., the load, is cut off, the current flowing to the standby power outlet 46 of the standby power outlet (= multistep) 40 becomes standby power. The current flows to the reference value when preparing for use for the first time, that is, the initial value. This is detected by the current sensor (2) (44) of the present invention, the microcomputer (2) 47 is read. The read information generates a separate control signal, and the cutoff switch 45 operates according to the operation of the control signal.

The cutoff switch 45 cuts off all the current flowing in the outlet to completely turn off the power of the standby power outlet 46. No current is wasted on standby power. Previously, when the standby power outlet 40 was not used as the invention, a certain amount of standby power was always wasted. When the invention is used, power consumption can be reduced by fundamentally blocking the flowing standby power. have.

For reference, in the case of the present invention, a separate display unit 49 is provided on one side of the standby power outlet 40, and the display unit 49 displays the mentioned standby power reference value, time, and savings in the meantime. Can be displayed. In addition, one side of the body is provided with a click switch 122, by pressing the click switch 122 to supply power to the standby power outlet 40 may be prepared for the use of home appliances.

That is, the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention must first supply power to the standby power outlet 40 in order for the specific usage of the user to wake up in the morning to operate the standby power home appliance 13. At this time, it is necessary to pressurize the mentioned click switch 122 to supply power. In fact, the standby power outlet 40 may be inserted in a position where a hand is hard to be covered by furniture or an electronic device inside the residence. In this case, it is troublesome to remove the instruments or furniture that interfere with each other and press the click switch 122. In order to solve this problem, the present invention uses an external short-circuit switch 125 at the end of the power line 124 extending from the standby power outlet 40. The external short switch 125 serves to turn on the cutoff switch 45 which automatically cuts off the power through the current sensors 2 and 44. Of course, the on-off cutoff switch 45 may also serve to manually perform the operation of turning off again.

Then, more detailed embodiments of the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention will be described with the drawings shown. 3 to 5, the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention, the cut-off switch 45 for blocking the waste of standby power through the current detection of the current sensor (2) 48, standby power outlet (= Multi-step; 40) It is preferable to manually turn on and off the current through the external short switch 125 coupled to the end of the power line 124 extended long.

That is, the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention must first supply power to the standby power outlet 40 in order for the specific usage of the user to wake up in the morning to operate the standby power home appliance 13. At this time, it is necessary to pressurize the mentioned click switch 122 to supply power. In fact, the standby power outlet 40 may be inserted in a position where a hand is hard to be covered by furniture or an electronic device inside the residence. In this case, it is troublesome to remove the instruments or furniture that interfere with each other and press the click switch 122. In order to solve this problem, the present invention uses an external short-circuit switch 125 at the end of the power line 124 extending from the standby power outlet 40. The external short switch 125 serves to turn on the cutoff switch 45 which automatically cuts off the power through the current sensors 2 and 44. Of course, the on-off cutoff switch 45 may also serve to manually perform the operation of turning off again.

Next, the standby power outlet (= multi-tap outlet) 40 of the present invention can be implemented in the shape and form as shown in Figs. Very simple and simple form, not limited to this shape and configuration. However, it will be described that the standby power outlet 40 having such a shape is most preferable. As shown in the figure, the standby power outlet (= multi-step) 40 made of the physical structure of the present invention, the plug terminal 121 protruding in pairs to be fitted to the wall power switch 14 formed on the wall ; A pair of outlet grooves (K) dug into a circular groove from a top of the housing body 123 to a predetermined depth; Is formed on one side of the housing body 123, the display unit 49 is formed to display characters or information; And a click switch 122 formed on one side of the housing body 123 to control the ON and OFF standby power outlet (= multistep; 40) operation of energization and display of information through a click action. By simply plugging into the wall power outlet 14 to block the waste of standby power.

In general, there is no significant difference in the shape and shape of the standby power outlet (= multi-step; 40) already used. Of course, the plug terminal 121 that can be inserted into the wall power switch 14 protrudes to the bottom of the housing body 123, and the outlet groove K that is dug to a certain depth from the upper portion of the housing body 123 is formed. Do. Only in the case of the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention, two outlet grooves K are formed. One is a standby power outlet 46 and the other is a constant power outlet 43. Both positions are not fixed and may be formed in the reverse order to the illustrated figure of FIG. 3. The home appliance power supply 12 is inserted into the power supply outlet 43, but may be a plurality. On the contrary, it is preferable that the standby power source appliance 13 is always fitted to the standby power source outlet 46.

The standby power home appliance 13 refers to a home appliance that can operate a device through standby power, that is, operation of a remote controller. When the constant power outlet 43 and the standby power outlet 46 of the present invention are all 15A or more, the current sensors 2 and 44 read the current to cut off the power supply. This is to eliminate the possibility of fire due to high load. Of course, in the case of the standby power outlet 46, in addition to this function, if a current equal to or less than the measured reference value of the standby power flows in order to prevent unprotected waste of standby power, the current sensor (2) (44) is The sensing switch 45 is lowered according to the operation of the microcomputer 2, 47, and the supply of power is fundamentally cut off. In addition, the shape of the housing body 123 may be different from that shown in the drawing, and is preferably an injection molded product. It is for mass production and to reduce the possibility of damage to the user due to discharge.

Furthermore, the click switch 122 formed on one side of the housing body 123 is a button-type switch capable of supplying power to the circuit breaker switch 42 as well as the cutoff switch 45 and cutting off the switch. The information and other data generated during this process can be visually recognized by the user through the display unit 49 shown.

Then it looks at the system in which the standby power outlet 40 of the invention is managed and used. In FIG. 8, the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention is used to illustrate a method of preventing waste of power through the management server 2. That is, in the case of the present invention, in a large APT complex, all generations are planning an optimal system for power saving that can be generated by using the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention. The standby power outlet 40 provided in each home has an individual code or address and can limit the physical location thereof, and can transfer the acquired information to the management server 2 by a wireless or wired communication method. The above-described standby power outlet 40 measures the standby power generated from a plurality of embedded home appliances every day or newly according to a user's usage method and intention. The measured data or information is transmitted to the gateway 3 through the built-in communication module (2) 48, which is then transferred from the gateway (3) to the management server (2).

In fact, various embodiments of the communication module (2) 48 in the present invention will be described in its operation method, but is not particularly limited. You could just use a Wi-Fi network already common in your home or use separate powerline communications. In order to use the WiFi network to exchange information with the gateway 3, a communication chip such as a wireless LAN card is required, and the gateway 3 becomes a repeater. On the contrary, when NFC communication is applied, the NFC chip should be embedded and a separate communication module is required for smart beam communication. Since all communication schemes are already known and well known, no further explanation is given. However, in the present invention, information read by the standby power outlet 40 is transmitted to the management server 2 through the gateway 3, The delivered information is calculated as useful information by the management server 2, and delivered back to the user.

The information that can be expected in the present invention will be the amount of power savings already generated by each user using this standby power outlet 40, and an estimate of power savings to be generated in the future. After that, information or data for power saving can be delivered. For example, the management server 2 will be a power-saving scheme, advertising of power-saving home appliances distributed in KEPCO. Of course, such advertisements and information are transmitted to the app program 20 to be described later through the user's mobile phone (= smart phone) 6.

On the other hand, the present invention makes it possible to automatically read the power consumed in the home as described above. In the home, the digital power meter reader 30 shown in FIG. 6 is formed to measure the flow of incoming power. The digital power meter reader 30 includes a CT sensor 31 for measuring a current flowing into a home, an A / D converter 32 for converting sensed data or information into a digital form, and a gateway for converting the converted data or information. (3) the communication module (1) (34) communicating with the management server (2), the display unit (35) for expressing the metered current consumption or the necessary information, and the components of the organic control, information and control A microcomputer (1) (33) for maintaining the transmission of the signal, so as to measure the total current consumption introduced into the home, and to be able to read at a long distance; Installed in a number of homes, as well as the power consumption in one household 10, as well as measuring the power consumption generated in a certain area, it is possible to quantify the estimated power consumption and information for power generation to be used in the future.

In general, the digital power meter 30 connected in series with a conventional mechanical power meter (not shown) is measured through the CT sensor 31 the amount of current flowing. The measured amount of power flows in real time due to the A / D converter 32 and the analog signal is converted into a digital signal, the converted signal under the control of the microcomputer (1) (33) communication module (1) (34) It passes through the gateway (3) through the management server (2) through. In the case of the communication module (1) 34, various communication methods can be made. As well as RF communication, WiFi communication is possible, and all other communication methods are available. Since the communication method is already equipped in various forms and is known, it may be modified according to the local characteristics of the occupants, and one or two communication modules (1) 34 may be accommodated.

When the power-related information transmitted from the communication module (1) 34 of the digital power meter reader 30 is introduced into the management server 2 in the form of data, the management server 2 converts it into more beneficial information and data. Start production again. To this end, it is necessary to observe the management server 2 of the present invention in more detail. The detailed configuration of this management server 2 is shown in FIG. That is, the management server 2 has a CPU 2a which is installed for controlling the server, and has a communication module 2-4 for transmitting data or information to the user's mobile phone 6 or a related party. A control program 2b controlled by (2a), which communicates with the digital power meter reader 30, calculates the expected power usage value and the power production expected value through the power consumption read by the digital power meter reader 30, and the cellular phone. (6) or the power meter reading control program 2-1 programmed to transmit information to the concerned party; Communicate with the standby power outlet 40 of each home, calculate the standby power saving value based on the amount of standby power delivered from the standby power outlet 40, and time data of the power cut-off, and the power proposed by each ward office and KEPCO. A power saving control program 2-2 programmed to deliver the saving advertisement to the user's mobile phone 6; There is a control program (2b) consisting of; a game control program (2-3) for controlling the game in conjunction with the app program 20 stored on the user's mobile phone (6) in the server. Therefore, including the database (2-5) for storing the digital power meter reader 30 related information and data, standby power outlet 40 related information and data and game-related data and information generated using the system separately. In addition, it is possible to reduce the power consumption used in each home, and to adjust the production of power according to the expected power usage, and to produce the most desirable way of saving the power used in each home.

In the case of the management server 2, the information transmitted from the gateway 3 is received, and information processing is performed through the CPU 2a.

As shown in the figure, the management server 2 of the present invention has a control program 2b, which includes a power meter reading control program 2-1, a power saving control program 2-2, and a game control program 2-3. Has The power meter reading control program 2-1 receives the power consumption data transmitted from the digital power meter reader 30 installed in each home and converts the information. For example, this can be used to calculate APT maintenance costs, as described in the Applicant's previously filed 10-2014-0075031, "Method of Profit for Apartment Management Using Digital Power Metering," and for next month or future power. You can plan for power generation by estimating consumption. In one household, not in a certain area or in a large APT complex, every generation within it. When the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention are installed and the power consumption of the month delivered from the digital power meter reader 30 is accurately measured in a certain region, the amount of power that can be used next month is measured. Can be measured.

Through the above case, filed by the applicant of the present invention, it is possible to obtain information more accurately and easily because the management office in each APT complex can receive an estimate of apartment power usage for a specific reason that can be used next month. Do. As this information is distributed in a large number of regions and expanded throughout the country, KEPCO can calculate the expected amount of electricity use in the future relatively accurately. It is possible. Electric current is a backbone industry where many facilities must be pre-invested for storage if the production volume is high, and if this problem can be prevented, it can enjoy significant benefits. As a result, the present invention includes the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 in each home in order to obtain the benefits of these various parts.

Therefore, in the present invention, a separate management server 2 is required to usefully reproduce such information. The management server 2 has a control program 2b controlled by the CPU 2a as described above. One is the power meter reading control program 2-1, the other is the power saving control program 2-2, and the other is the game control program 2-3. That is why the system is laid out.

In this case, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 are installed in each home. In the standby power outlet 40, whenever the flow of standby power is blocked, the standby power saving amount and the time when the outlet is blocked are delivered in real time. The transferred data is received through the power saving control program 2-2 of the management server 2, and this information or data is transferred to the user's mobile phone (= smartphone) 6. The user can always receive the power savings, that is, the standby power savings, through the mobile phone (= smartphone) 6 in real time. In addition, as will be described later, the management server 2 may push information or other advertisements for power saving to the mobile phone (6). Ward offices and public offices can deliver ideas or desirable lifestyles for reducing power use, and this information is collected and delivered by the management server (2).

All of these processes are achieved through the power saving control program 2-2 of the management server 2.

On the contrary, the power meter reading control program 2-1 has a form in which the management server 2 that reads the power consumption and hands over the power usage data passes the information to the KEPCO side, and calculates the cost. This is, of course, described in detail in the foregoing application of this invention. In addition, the present invention has a game control program (2-3) that can enjoy a game in addition to the operation of the management server (2). In the present invention, it is intended to give the user the maximum mental stimulus that can substantially save power.

I want to keep my real life in mind, and always think about saving power and start to care for him. The game control program 2-3 is installed in the management server 2 of the present invention for this purpose. The game is designed and systemized, applying the power savings that are the object of the invention described above.

On the other hand, in the present invention, the standby power outlet 40 and the digital power meter reader 30 are installed in the interior of a household, thereby preventing the waste of power, facilitating the management of the power, and ultimately the power of the power. It is an invention to achieve a more effective use of power by adjusting production timely. In fact, the first step is to accurately measure the consumption of power used in the home and reduce the amount of electricity consumed. To this end, the present invention is provided with a separate communication module (1) (2) (34, 48) inside the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 described above. This communication module (1) (2) (34, 48) is to transmit information or data to the management server (2) through the gateway (3), in the present invention the data with the communication module (2) (48) The gateway 3 is used for the exchange.

That is, the gateway 3 is installed in each home one by one, while allowing the data of the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 in the home to communicate with the management server 2, the user's mobile phone 6 and In the relationship, the network is formed so that the information related to the digital power meter reader 30 and its data management and control; Information related to the standby power outlet 40 and its data management and control can be performed; Improve the usability that can be applied to various communication methods. In the present invention, in determining the communication module (2) 48, it is assumed that various known communication methods can be used. The reason for this is that in the case of the present invention, there will be a case where it communicates directly with the cellular phone 6. For example, by communicating through the NFC chip, communication with the standby power outlet 40 and the digital power meter reader 30 without going through the management server (2). In more detail, by forming a network inside the home, it is a method of communicating without the help of a separate management server (2) in the home. To this end, it is difficult to install a repeater for mobile communication or RF communication. As another communication method, the smart beam communication method requires a separate corresponding program to form a network, and the repeater is difficult to do this. Therefore, this invention uses the gateway 3.

The gateway 3 is generally generalized to be a communication module that controls communication speed between networks, performs traffic control, and performs address translation between addresses, as shown in FIG. It is also common to have a separate data storage space inside. However, the gateway 3 of the present invention performs the following special function. One is for information related to the digital power meter reader 30 and its data management and control function, and the other is for information related to the standby power outlet and its data management and control function. That is, a program or the like associated with it is stored.

As will be described later in practical terms, this gateway 3 may enable two independent communication schemes. If the communication module (2) 48 formed in the standby power outlet 40 uses the mobile communication method, the gateway (3) receives this and transfers the data to the management server (2). However, if the communication method is maintained and the user wants to measure the standby power savings in the home in real time using the user's mobile phone 6, the user can easily acquire this information in the home, that is, in the home network. Can be. For example, if the communication method with the mobile phone is selected as the NFC communication method, the standby power outlet 40 has a separate NFC module 81 is separately embedded in the communication module (2) (48). On the contrary, if the smart beam communication method is to be used, the communication module (2) 48 is inserted into a WLAN to use general WiFi communication. As a result, the communication module (2) (1) (48, 34) formed inside the standby power outlet 40 and the digital power meter reader 30 of the present invention is difficult to limit to any one. In some cases, two communication methods can be used, so separate modules according to the two communication methods are formed. In order to realize such various communication methods, the present invention provides a gateway 3 as a repeater. Therefore, the information related to the digital power meter reader 30, its data management and control functions, and the information related to the standby power outlet 40 and its data management and control functions by using a control program or a separate communication protocol embedded therein. To perform.

On the other hand, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10, when the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 installed in one household 10 are enlarged and installed in all homes in the APT complex A, the APT complex The DCU (4), which is a separate data collection device, is installed in units of one building (A), so that data communication with the management server 2 can be performed. That is, in the case of the present invention, it is often utilized in a large-scale APT complex, as intended by the applicant described above. In this case, data can be transmitted from the gateway 3 of each home to the management server 2. Data or information transmitted from the digital power meter reader 30 and the communication module (1) (2) (34, 48) of the standby power outlet 40 is directly transmitted to the management server (2) through the gateway (3). . On the other hand, a large number of coppers are formed in a large APT complex, and one DCU (= data collecting device; 4) is formed for each copper, and data can be collected and transferred. This is not essential. Direct delivery to the management server 2 through the gateway 3 may be more effective.

On the other hand, the present invention, as described above, the object is first, to reduce the consumption of power used in each home. The challenge is to expand and ensure that users who consume power in their homes are always wary of wasting power, and that a mind-saving mind is naturally drawn out. Second, the savings in each household is to use the power consumption is used as a useful information because the meter is measured at a long distance without a separate meter reading. Useful information further includes estimates of future power consumption, which can generate significant benefits because it can effectively plan for power generation.

As a result, the present invention must first instill a mindset for muscle saving for the user in order to enjoy such benefits, and for this purpose, there is a method in which the management server 2 provides information to the user to the mobile phone 6. There is a method of providing information or data transmitted from the app program 20 and the standby power outlet 40 formed in the mobile phone 6 (even in the case of a digital power meter). This invention has two types of embodiments according to this delivery method. Therefore, in the present invention, both embodiments are described in order.

First, the technical configuration of providing the above-described service through communication with the electronic server, the management server 2 and the mobile phone 6 will be described.

That is, the user 25 for communication with the management server 2 receives various information and data transmitted from the management server 2 through the app program 20 installed in the mobile phone (= smartphone) 6. Accept; The app program 20 has a game mode 70 and a power calculation mode 80 therein; The power calculation mode 80 includes a total power consumption calculation algorithm and a display field 81, a standby power saving calculation algorithm and a display field 82, and a future savings estimate and a total power calculation value calculation algorithm and a display column 83. Equipped, to be confirmed in real time through the mobile phone (6).

In FIG. 11, power-related data and information in one household described above are transmitted to the management server 2 through the gateway 3. Of course, the management server 2 pushes the information or data converted into the app program 20 of the smartphone to the unit user. At this time, the app program 20 may be a separate app program 20 or game program 21 that can exchange and use power-related data or information in the present invention. App program 20 using the power-related information for this invention may use the game program 21 because there is not much information to utilize. As a result, in the present invention, the content of the information transmitted by the app program 20 is important.

It is possible to make a separate mode for calculating the amount of power in a part of the game program 21, the app program 20 is divided into the game mode 70 and the power amount calculation mode 80, the management server ( If you can process it using 2). Importantly, in the present invention, the management server 2 uses a data or information transmitted from the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 to provide a method for saving power usage. To enjoy a variety of benefits. However, when the app program 20 is divided into the power calculation mode 80 and the game mode 70, the mode associated with the standby power outlet 40 of the present invention is the power calculation mode 80. to be.

The use of this power amount calculation mode 80 is often programmatic, as described above, and may be added to the mobile phone 6 if a separate means mechanism is needed to utilize it. Of course, the utilization of the present invention can be achieved only by the app program 20. When the standby power savings delivered from the standby power outlet 40 of the contents of the app program 20 are delivered in real time, the user expresses it to the user. The scheme can again be proposed in two forms.

In fact, the information or data transmitted from the standby power outlet 40 is the reference value of the standby power, and if the standby power outlet 40 cuts off the power supply, how long is the time, and furthermore, It will be the standby power savings, which is the amount by which the waste of standby power is effectively cut off by multiplying the time and standby power reference value. The standby power outlet 40 simply transmits only the information or data read at that time to the management server 2 through the gateway 3. At this time, the management server 2 can calculate the received information and deliver the converted data to the app program (20).

For example, what is the amount of power used during the standby power savings, what is the sum of the savings for the standby power savings, and how much power savings can be predicted until the settlement date of the power usage fee in the future? . These are calculated in advance through the operation of the management server 2 can be delivered to the app program (20). The browser of the app program 20 may play only a role of controlling and expressing the transmitted information.

On the other hand, if another embodiment of the above-described data or information, that is, the reference value of the standby power transmitted from the standby power outlet 40, and if the standby power outlet 40 cuts off the power supply, the time How much is, multiply the time of the cutoff and the reference value of the standby power, and delivers the standby power savings, which is the amount that the waste of standby power is substantially blocked, to the app program 20 as it is. The information received directly from the standby power outlet 40, or a part of the processing, intermediate processing is a little information.

As described above, the app program 20 stored in the user's mobile phone 6 is provided with a standby power saving calculation algorithm so that the received information can be independently calculated to obtain a result value. According to the information received now, that is, the amount of power used so far according to the standard pack or standby power savings, the sum of savings for the standby power savings in the meantime, and the power use savings that can be predicted until the settlement date of the power usage fee in the future. These are calculated through a standby power saving calculation algorithm in the app program 20 of the mobile phone 6 and displayed in a separate display column. Make the user visually aware and use it.

This action is fully applied to the power calculation mode (80). That is, the total power consumption calculation algorithm and the display column 81 and the estimated power savings and the total power consumption calculation algorithm and the display column 83 are provided. In the case of the present invention, not only the standby power outlet 40 is installed inside each home, but also the digital power meter reader 30 is installed to transmit information or data. The digital power meter reader 30 now pushes the power consumption used in each home currently read to the management server 2, which delivers it to the user's mobile phone 6 app program 20. At this time, the app program 20 calculates the total power consumption used during this time. The power consumption is an analog signal value read by the digital power meter reader 30, and the total power consumption is obtained through a separate calculation and calculation to refer to the total power consumption restarted at the end of last month.

Further, the algorithm for calculating the future savings estimate and the total power estimate of the present invention are calculated by recalculating the power consumption and the standby power savings. In other words, the calculation of the point at which the electricity use fee is charged at the end of this month so that the savings estimate or other information can be recorded, and the calculation amount that can be generated at the present time when the power amount is calculated is called the total power budget value. . This may be expected after one or two months or one year, but is preferably calculated based on the end of this month, ie the date of payment.

Furthermore, in the case of the present invention, in order to form a mindset for the user to save the power and the mindset of muscle saving, the present invention is equipped with a separate game mode 70 in the app program 20. In other words, the game mode is made of a growth game, so that the character grows in accordance with the improvement of the savings through the reference value, time, standby power saving value transmitted from the standby power outlet 40 to the management server (2). As shown in FIG. 12, as the savings increase, the growth game may grow from eggs to children and adults, and a separate character may be selected.

The ward office now has a separate mascot, which can be grown, dressed and evolved. The content of the game is irrelevant and it is important that the user enjoys saving power while using this invention, seeing it through the game, and having fun.

As described above, the present invention has described a communication method in which a management server 2 and a user's mobile phone 6 exchange information with each other to calculate a power amount and calculate a power saving estimate. However, the present invention is not only the communication in this manner as described above, but also the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 and the user's mobile phone 6 directly communicates to obtain and enjoy the same information. Can have communication.

That is, in the case of the present invention, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, it is possible to communicate with the communication module (1) (2) (34, 48) embedded in the digital power meter 30 and the standby power outlet 40. The app program 20 of the mobile phone 6 is composed of a game mode 70 and a power calculation mode 80, the power calculation mode 80, the total power consumption calculation algorithm and display field 81, The standby power saving calculation algorithm and display column 82 and the future savings estimate and the total power amount estimation calculation algorithm and the display column 83 are provided so that they can be confirmed in real time through the mobile phone 6.

In the former case, communication between the management server 2 and the mobile phone 6 is achieved. In this embodiment, no separate management server 2 is used. Users get direct estimates of power savings and standby power savings by using a network in their home. In the case of the game mode 70, the app program 20 of the present invention is controlled by the management server 2 to communicate with the management server 2, but the power calculation mode 80 is the internal app program 20 Under control, it calculates the same information as the former. The mobile phone 6 and the standby power outlet 40 simply communicate with each other to receive the data, and the mobile phone 6 and the digital power meter reader 30 communicate with each other to receive and calculate the difference.

In FIG. 15, which is illustrated by way of example, the communication module 1, 2, 34, 48 of the present invention shows an embodiment utilized when using NFC communication. As described above, in the case of the present invention, the communication module may be two because it uses various communication methods. That is, while having a mobile communication module (1) (2) (34, 48) for communication with the management server (2), a separate NFC module (1) (2) (71, 81) to the communication module (1) (2) (34, 48), so it can communicate with the mobile phone (6).

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the mobile phone 6 can communicate with the digital power meter reader 30 and the communication module 1, 2, 34, 48 embedded in the standby power outlet 40. The communication of the app program 20 uses NFC, but the amount of power used by the digital power meter reader 30 is close to the NFC chip of the mobile phone (= smartphone; 6) through the NFC module (1) (71) ( 89, this information or data is displayed in a separate display field 81 as it is or as information-converted total power consumption through a total power usage calculation algorithm on the app program 20; The real-time standby power reference value or standby power saving value transmitted from the standby power outlet 40 is transmitted to the NFC chip 89 of the mobile phone (= smartphone; 6) in proximity through the NFC module 2 or 81, This information or data is converted as it is or on the app program 20 to display the information in the standby power saving calculation algorithm and display column 81 and the future savings estimate and total power amount estimation algorithm and display column 82.

NFC communication refers to near field communication. Approaching a predetermined distance to pass the already planned information, the mobile phone (6), smart phones are already used embedded NFC chip. NFC communication is a known form, which is also used when riding a bus, and is a communication method that is allowed only to those who can access a certain space. If the user approaches the standby power outlet 40 or the digital power meter reader 30 by using the mobile phone 6, the standby power outlet 40 and the digital power meter reader 30 may use the data described above. Will be sent. The transmitted data is calculated through the app program 20 of the mobile phone 6 to obtain the above information.

That is, the communication module (1) (2) (34, 48) is implemented by the NFC module (1) (2) (71, 81).

The system utilizing the present invention has been described in the above description. This invention is proposed by the applicant of the present invention in a manner that utilizes all of the plurality of patent applications that have already been filed, and thus may have a somewhat wider use. This mode of use can be implemented in various ways using the system, which in the present invention also claims this operating method as a feature thereof.

The method will be described with reference to FIG. 16 as follows. That is, firstly, the operating method of the present invention comprises: a first step; In step S1, the digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 installed in one home transmit information or data on power consumption and standby power savings to the management server 2 through the gateway 3. Rough The digital power meter reader 30 and the standby power outlet 40 are essential components for utilizing this invention.
