[0091] The following examples are detailed descriptions to aid in understanding the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, inventions within the same scope that perform the same function as the present invention will also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0093] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0095] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a next-generation mobility (10) and can be operated by interacting with an autonomous driving system (200) and an HVAC (heating, ventilation, & air conditioning) system (300) of the next-generation mobility (10).

[0097] An indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to one embodiment of the present invention is a system for efficiently disinfecting a closed space that can be shared by multiple users, and is mounted on a next-generation mobility (10) to automatically maintain a hygienic state by disinfecting and sterilizing the interior and exterior. To this end, the indoor hygiene system (100) may be composed of a combination of a mechanism for inspecting the environmental state of the space, a mechanism for determining target environmental conditions, and a mechanism for adjusting the state within the space to the target environmental conditions.

[0099] The next-generation mobility (10) may include a vision sensor that analyzes the interior and exterior through images, an acoustic sensor, a thermal sensor, a weight sensor, a pressure sensor, a capacitive sensor, a radio frequency sensor that detects human movement, breathing, or heartbeat, a laser sensor, a humidity sensor, and a gas detection sensor. These sensors can be used to detect the environmental conditions of the next-generation mobility (10) and to maintain hygiene conditions.

[0101] In addition, the indoor hygiene system (100) can move to a location where disinfection or sterilization can be performed when there are no passengers by utilizing the autonomous driving system (200) installed in the next-generation mobility (10). Furthermore, the next-generation mobility (10) can be sterilized by utilizing a light source such as an HVAC system (300) or LED lighting, and the disinfection area can be expanded by adjusting the position, direction, and angle of the seat and handle. In this way, the indoor hygiene system (100) can adjust or utilize existing mobility components and systems.

[0103] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the detailed configuration of an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include a solar disinfection unit (110), a virus removal unit (120), a touch surface disinfection unit (130), a droplet disinfection unit (140), and a disinfection service utilization unit (150), and may further include a judgment unit (160).

[0105] The solar disinfection unit (110) moves using an autonomous driving system (200) to disinfect the exterior of the next-generation mobility (10) by solar light. Using light sensor data, if the intensity of the solar light is greater than a predetermined value, the windows are opened to allow sunlight to irradiate the interior. If the intensity of the solar light is less than a predetermined value, sterilization is performed using a sterilization light installed inside, thereby disinfecting the interior and exterior surfaces of the next-generation mobility (10). At this time, the solar disinfection unit (110) moves via the autonomous driving system (200) to a location suitable for disinfection in an outdoor area without shade, rather than in a basement or tunnel, so that disinfection can be performed when there are no passengers.

[0107] Additionally, the solar disinfection unit (110) can adjust at least one of the position, direction, and posture of the next-generation mobility (10) using light sensor data so that sunlight is irradiated into the interior of the next-generation mobility (10). That is, the solar disinfection unit (110) can control the next-generation mobility (10) so that parts requiring sterilization and disinfection, such as the exterior door, handle, seat, and steering mechanism surfaces that are frequently touched by the user's hands, are exposed to external sunlight as much as possible through mobility movement, door opening / closing, window opening / closing, sunroof opening / closing, seat height or direction adjustment, steering mechanism height or direction adjustment, and mobility posture control. At this time, the autonomous driving system (200) and light sensor data can be used to determine whether the vehicle moves to a position where sunlight is sufficient and whether sunlight sufficient for disinfection is irradiated into the interior of the mobility.

[0109] FIG. 5 is a drawing illustrating a solar disinfection unit (110) in an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the solar disinfection unit (110) of the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention can selectively apply disinfection by solar light (disinfection performed through window opening and posture control) and disinfection by an indoor light source (disinfection performed through sterilization lighting control) depending on the intensity of the solar light. That is, when the solar disinfection unit (110) recognizes that there is sufficient sunlight outside the next-generation mobility (10), it opens all windows so that sufficient sunlight is irradiated into the next-generation mobility (10). Since disinfection by solar light is impossible at night or during rain, when it recognizes that there is insufficient sunlight, such as when it is raining, it can perform sterilization by irradiating disinfection light using an indoor light source.

[0111] When a virus is detected inside the next-generation mobility (10), the virus removal unit (120) can control the HVAC system (300) to maintain the temperature and humidity inside the sealed space at preset conditions to suppress the spread of the virus. Here, the virus removal unit (120) can maintain the temperature and humidity inside the sealed space at preset conditions set according to the type of virus detected inside the next-generation mobility (10). That is, the virus removal unit (120) can control the HVAC system (300) so that the internal environment of the next-generation mobility (10) is controlled to a temperature and humidity suitable for removing each virus according to the detected virus. In addition, the virus removal unit (120) can remove the virus by irradiating light onto the internal surface of the next-generation mobility (10) where the virus is detected. That is, when a specific virus is detected on various surfaces inside the next-generation mobility (10), the detected virus can be removed by combining humidity, temperature, and light control.

[0113] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a virus removal unit (120) in an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, according to research statistics, the coronavirus half-life is further reduced to about 2 minutes when the temperature is about 21°C to 24°C and the humidity is 80%. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the virus removal unit (120) can suppress the spread of the coronavirus in a sealed interior by controlling the internal temperature to about 21°C to 24°C by controlling the HVAC system (300) and the humidity to 80% by controlling the humidity with a humidity control device. Additionally, disinfection light can be irradiated on the internal surface of the next-generation mobility (10) where the coronavirus has been detected by a lighting control device.

[0115] The touch surface disinfection unit (130) can identify recently touched surfaces using a touch sensor and sterilize surfaces where the number of touches exceeds a threshold value by irradiating sterilization light. That is, the touch surface disinfection unit (130) can sterilize the interior of the next-generation mobility (10) by installing a touch sensor at a location where the hands or feet of a user riding in the next-generation mobility (10) touch, and emitting infrared and ultraviolet rays of a specific wavelength toward surfaces that have recently been touched or have been frequently touched according to sensor data. For example, a touch sensor can be installed on the rear panel of a seat, and when the panel is touched, the sensor can count the number of touches and generate data. When the number of touches exceeds a threshold value, the touch surface disinfection unit (130) can determine the hygiene status of the panel and proceed with sterilization by irradiating sterilization light, such as infrared and ultraviolet rays of a specific wavelength, toward the panel.

[0117] When the droplet disinfection unit (140) detects a user's cough or sneeze, it can control the HVAC system (300) to blow heated air toward the front of the user and discharge disinfectant vapor to the outside. FIG. 7 is a drawing illustrating the droplet disinfection unit (140) in the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the droplet disinfection unit (140) of the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention can drive the HVAC system (300) to blow heated air toward the handle after the sensor detects that the user coughs or sneezes toward the handle, and the humidity control device can evaporate disinfectant vapor and discharge it to the outside.

[0119] The disinfection service utilization unit (150) moves to the installation location of the disinfection service robot using the autonomous driving system (200) and can adjust at least one of the position, direction, and posture of the next-generation mobility (10) so that disinfection and sterilization are performed by the disinfection service robot. Here, the disinfection service utilization unit (150) can expand the disinfection area by adjusting the posture, including the position, direction, angle, and height of the parts including the seat and steering device.

[0121] The disinfection service robot may be a robot installed in a specific location, such as a parking lot or gas station, that automatically disinfects and sterilizes the interior and exterior of the next-generation mobility (10). When the disinfection service user unit (150) determines that there is no user inside the next-generation mobility (10), it moves the next-generation mobility (10) to the location where the service robot is located via the autonomous driving system (200), and then adjusts the direction or position of the next-generation mobility (10) to disinfect and sterilize all areas. During this process, the disinfection service robot can maintain the security of the next-generation mobility (10) and activate a notification when the operation of the hygiene system is finished.

[0123] The judgment unit (160) detects that there is no person inside the next-generation mobility (10), and if there is no person, it can order the start of disinfection to at least one of the solar disinfection unit (110) and the disinfection service usage unit (150). More specifically, the judgment unit (160) can detect that there is no person inside the next-generation mobility (10) by using at least one of the results of analyzing internal video captured by a camera and the results of analyzing door opening and closing data. That is, the judgment unit (160) can determine whether there is a passenger inside by using various sensors mounted on the next-generation mobility (10). When the judgment unit (160) detects that there is no person in the space, it can order the start of disinfection to at least one of the solar disinfection unit (110), the virus removal unit (120), the touch surface disinfection unit (130), and the disinfection service usage unit (150) based on data from a sensor that detects the environmental state.

[0125] FIG. 8 is a drawing illustrating a judgment unit (160) in an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the judgment unit (160) of the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine whether there is no passenger and command the solar disinfection unit (110) and the disinfection service usage unit (150) to start disinfection. Although hygiene maintenance of the virus removal unit (120), touch surface disinfection unit (130), and droplet disinfection unit (140) can be continued even when there is a person inside the next-generation mobility (10), hygiene maintenance of the solar disinfection unit (110) or the disinfection service usage unit (150) may be operated only when there is no person, in accordance with the disinfection start command of the judgment unit (160), as it involves movement to a specific location. According to the embodiment, when light that may affect the human body, such as ultraviolet light, is used for surface disinfection, the virus removal unit (120), touch surface disinfection unit (130), etc., may also start disinfection in accordance with the disinfection start command of the judgment unit (160).

[0127] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the flow of a method for maintaining indoor hygiene for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the method for maintaining indoor hygiene for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by performing each step in an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility, and may include a solar disinfection step (S110), a virus removal step (S120), a touch surface disinfection step (S130), a droplet disinfection step (S140), and a disinfection service usage step (S150).

[0129] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating the flow of a judgment step (S160) in a method for maintaining indoor hygiene for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the method for maintaining indoor hygiene for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by further including a judgment step (S160) prior to a solar disinfection step (S110) or a disinfection service usage step (S150).

[0131] Since the details regarding each step have been sufficiently explained in relation to the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to one embodiment of the present invention, a detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0133] As described above, according to the indoor hygiene system (100) and hygiene maintenance method for next-generation mobility proposed in the present invention, by automating the indoor and outdoor disinfection and sterilization process of next-generation mobility (10) by including a solar disinfection unit (110), a virus removal unit (120), a touch surface disinfection unit (130), a droplet disinfection unit (140), and a disinfection service utilization unit (150), hygiene of the indoor space of next-generation mobility (10), which is a closed space, can be maintained, the spread of infectious diseases can be minimized, and the health of the passenger can be maintained. Furthermore, according to the indoor hygiene system (100) and hygiene maintenance method for next-generation mobility proposed in the present invention, by further including a judgment unit (160) that detects when there is no person inside next-generation mobility (10) and commands the start of disinfection, hygiene inside next-generation mobility (10) can be effectively maintained by distinguishing between when there is a person and when there is no person and proceeding with an appropriate disinfection and hygiene process.
