However, this is not intended to limit the scope of specific embodiments and should be understood to include various modifications, equivalents, and / or alternatives of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In relation to the description of the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used for similar components.

[0022] In describing the present disclosure, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known functions or configurations could unnecessarily obscure the essence of the present disclosure, such detailed description is omitted.

[0023] Additionally, the following embodiments may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the technical concept of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more faithful and complete and to fully convey the technical concept of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0024] The terms used in this disclosure are used merely to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the rights. The singular expression includes the plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0026] In the present disclosure, expressions such as “A or B,” “at least one of A or / and B,” or “one or more of A or / and B” may include all possible combinations of items listed together. For example, “A or B,” “at least one of A and B,” or “at least one of A or B” may refer to cases including (1) at least one A, (2) at least one B, or (3) both at least one A and at least one B.

[0062] In the case where the method according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of operations, the plurality of operations may be performed by one processor (160) or by a plurality of processors (160). For example, when the first operation, the second operation, and the third operation are performed by the method according to one embodiment, the first operation, the second operation, and the third operation may all be performed by the first processor, or the first operation and the second operation may be performed by the first processor (e.g., a general-purpose processor) and the third operation may be performed by the second processor (e.g., an artificial intelligence dedicated processor).

[0063] One or more processors (160) may be implemented as a single-core processor including one core, or as one or more multicore processors including multiple cores (e.g., homogeneous multicore or heterogeneous multicore). When one or more processors (160) are implemented as multicore processors, each of the multiple cores included in the multicore processor may include internal processor memory such as on-chip memory (150), and a common cache shared by the multiple cores may be included in the multicore processor (160).

[0066] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of a hood device (100) controlling a ventilation fan based on sensing information obtained through a fog detection sensor (110) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0067] Referring to FIG. 3, the processor (160) can identify the concentration of fog based on sensing information obtained through the fog detection sensor (110) (S310).

[0068] Specifically, the fog detection sensor (110) may be an infrared detection sensor. The processor (160) may control the light irradiation unit to irradiate infrared rays in a preset direction and may obtain sensing information by sensing the infrared rays reflected from an object through the infrared detection sensor.

[0069] In addition, the hood device (100) may include a camera. The processor (160) can acquire an image of an area within a preset range from the air intake of the hood device (100) through the camera, and input the acquired image into a fog identification model to identify the concentration of fog based on the output value.

[0070] If the identified concentration is greater than or equal to a preset value (S320-Y), the processor (160) can control the drive unit (130) of the ventilation fan so that the ventilation fan of the hood device (100) rotates at a first rotational speed per unit time (S330).

[0071] If the identified concentration is less than a preset value (S320-N), the processor (160) can control the drive unit (130) of the ventilation fan so that the ventilation fan of the hood device (100) rotates at a second rotational speed per unit time. Here, the first rotational speed may be a value greater than the second rotational speed.

[0072] Additionally, the processor (160) can control the driving unit (130) of the ventilation fan to increase the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time as the identified concentration increases, and control the driving unit (130) of the ventilation fan to decrease the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time as the identified concentration decreases.

[0073] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of a hood device (100) controlling a ventilation fan based on sensing information obtained through a temperature sensor (120) according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0074] Referring to FIG. 4, the processor (160) can identify the temperature of a point located within a preset range from the air intake of the hood device (100) based on sensing information obtained through the temperature sensor (120) (S410).

[0075] If the identified temperature is greater than or equal to a preset value (S420-Y), the processor (160) can control the drive unit (130) of the ventilation fan so that the ventilation fan of the hood device (100) rotates at a first rotational speed per unit time (S430).

[0076] If the identified temperature is less than a preset value (S420-N), the processor (160) can control the drive unit (130) of the ventilation fan so that the ventilation fan of the hood device (100) rotates at a second rotational speed per unit time (S440). Here, the second rotational speed may be a value smaller than the first rotational speed.

[0077] Additionally, the processor (160) can control the drive unit of the ventilation fan so that the rotational speed of the ventilation fan becomes the first rotational speed when the ventilation fan is maintained at the second rotational speed per unit time for a time longer than the preset time, and when it is identified that the initial smoke has been generated at a first concentration or higher based on the sensing information obtained through the smoke detection sensor.

[0078] When the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time is maintained at a first rotational speed for a time longer than a preset time, and a second concentration of smoke, which is higher than the first concentration of the initial smoke state, is detected based on sensing information obtained through a smoke detection sensor, the drive unit of the ventilation fan can be controlled so that the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time becomes a third rotational speed, which is a value greater than the first rotational speed.

[0079] If the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time is maintained at a state of being greater than or equal to the third rotational speed for a preset time or longer, the processor (160) can transmit an emergency notification signal to a user terminal through the communication interface (140).

[0080] The processor (160) identifies the number of times an emergency notification signal is transmitted to a user terminal during a preset period, and if the number of times an emergency notification signal is transmitted during the preset period is greater than or equal to a preset value, the processor (160) can identify a first-1 concentration and a second-1 concentration by increasing the first concentration and second concentration values. That is, by increasing the concentration value that serves as a standard for increasing the rotation speed of the ventilation fan, it is possible to prevent the excessive transmission of unnecessary fire notification signals.

[0081] The processor (160) can control the drive unit of the ventilation fan so that the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time becomes the first rotational speed when the ventilation fan is maintained at the second rotational speed per unit time for more than a preset time and, based on sensing information obtained through the smoke detection sensor, it is identified that the initial smoke has been generated at a preset first-1 concentration or higher.

[0082] When the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time is maintained at a first rotational speed for a time longer than a preset time, and based on sensing information obtained through a smoke detection sensor, a second-1 concentration is detected where the amount of smoke is higher than the first-1 concentration of the initial smoke state, the drive unit of the ventilation fan can be controlled so that the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time becomes a third rotational speed, which is a value greater than the first rotational speed.

[0083] If the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time is maintained at a state of being greater than or equal to the third rotational speed for a preset time or longer, the processor (160) can transmit an emergency notification signal to a user terminal through the communication interface (140).

[0084] In addition, the processor (160) can control the driving unit (130) of the ventilation fan to increase the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time as the identified temperature is higher, and control the driving unit (130) of the ventilation fan to decrease the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time as the identified temperature is lower.

[0085] If the rotational speed of the ventilation fan per unit time is maintained above a threshold value for a preset time or longer, the processor (160) can transmit a fire hazard signal to the server through the communication interface (140).

[0086] When the processor (160) receives control command information for the ventilation fan from a user terminal through a communication interface (140), it can control the driving unit (130) of the ventilation fan to rotate the ventilation fan based on the control command information.
