[0006] Accordingly, the present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problem by providing a building management service system utilizing smart glasses that facilitates building management by accurately identifying a location within a building through a QR code containing building location information and providing information on electrical lines or piping lines installed inside the building at the identified location through an augmented reality screen. means of solving the problem

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention includes smart glasses that provide at least one of an electric line and a pipe line installed in a building as an augmented reality screen; and a management server in which a building drawing and an electric line and a pipe line arranged inside the building are stored in a 3D form, location information, user information, building occupant information, and smart glasses information for each location inside the building are stored, and when a QR code containing building location information is transmitted from the smart glasses, the management server provides information on at least one of the electric line and pipe line for the corresponding building location to the smart glasses.

[0008] According to the present invention, the management server is characterized by transmitting information on either the electrical line or the piping line to smart glasses when user authentication from a building occupant is completed.

[0009] According to the present invention, the QR code includes spatial location and direction information within a building and is characterized by being formed at any one of a switch, outlet, or light installed within the space. Effects of the invention

[0010] According to the present invention, since electrical lines and piping lines installed within a building are provided in the form of a hologram, the exact location of the electrical lines and piping lines can be verified, allowing for rapid handling of maintenance work caused by electrical leakage or water leakage. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0011] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a building management service system utilizing smart glasses according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a flowchart illustrating a building management service method utilizing smart glasses illustrated in Figure 1. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0012] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention, which can be easily practiced by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, in describing the operating principles of the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known functions or configurations may unnecessarily obscure the essence of the present invention, such detailed description will be omitted.

[0013] In addition, the same reference numerals are used for parts that have similar functions and operations throughout the drawing.

[0014] Additionally, when a part of the specification is described as being "connected" to another part, this includes cases where they are indirectly connected with other components in between, in addition to cases where they are directly connected. Furthermore, "including" a component means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a building management service system utilizing smart glasses according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, a building management service system utilizing smart glasses according to an embodiment of the present invention includes smart glasses (10) and a management server (20).

[0017] The smart glasses (10) provide at least one of the electrical lines and pipe lines installed in a building to a user wearing the smart glasses (10) for use with the smart glasses (10) as an augmented reality screen (i.e., a hologram).

[0018] In addition, the smart glass (10) is installed in a building space (e.g., on an inner wall or ceiling of a building) and scans (or photographs) a QR code (e.g. formed on an outlet, switch, light, etc.) that stores location information within the building, and then transmits the scanned QR code information to a management server (20).

[0019] To this end, the smart glasses (10) must be equipped with a QR code scanning function capable of scanning QR codes and a communication function for communicating with a management server (20).

[0020] At this time, for single-story buildings such as detached houses, only planar location information including location information such as north and south, in addition to place information such as master room, small room, and living room, is included, and for multi-story buildings (e.g., apartment, commercial building, or office building), three-dimensional location information including all planar location information along with floor number information is included, such as room 102, small room 102, room 101 on the 5th floor, etc.

[0021] The management server (20) stores building drawings and facilities placed inside the building (e.g., electrical lines and plumbing lines, etc.) in a 3D form, and stores various information such as location information for each location inside the building, user information, building occupant information, and smart glass information (e.g., serial number).

[0022] In this case, building occupant information includes personal details such as mobile phone numbers, addresses, business registration numbers, and resident registration numbers of tenant companies, tenants, or residents (or landlords) occupying the building, or personal codes formed based on such personal details.

[0023] Here, the personal code is a code provided to a building resident whose personal information has been registered in the management server (20), and may consist of at least one of numbers, uppercase English letters, lowercase English letters, and special characters, or a combination thereof, and may be changed whenever the building resident's personal information is changed, or may be formed with the same value even if the building resident's personal information is changed.

[0024] A building management service method utilizing smart glasses according to an embodiment of the present invention, configured as such, will be explained with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

[0025] First, when a user accesses the management server (20) to receive building management services using smart glasses, the management server (20) proceeds with the process for user registration, and the user registers with the management server (20) by setting their ID and password (S110).

[0026] When user authentication is completed in this way, the management server (20) provides a smart glasses (10) registration window so that the user can register the smart glasses (10) they wish to use, and the user registers the smart glasses (10) with the management server (20) by entering the information (e.g., serial number) of the smart glasses (10) they wish to use (S120).

[0027] At this time, user authentication and smart glass (10) registration can be any device capable of receiving information from the management server (20) through communication with the management server (20), such as a PC, PDA, or smartphone.

[0028] Meanwhile, when the smart glass (10) registration is completed, the management server (20) requests building occupant information from the user, and the user uses the smart glass (10) to transmit the building occupant information to the management server (20) for building maintenance.

[0029] Accordingly, the management server (20) transmits usage approval request information to the building occupant's portable terminal stored internally, and when usage approval information is transmitted from the building occupant (S130), it transmits an activation signal to the smart glass (10) so that the smart glass (10) can receive line information for the building.

[0030] Here, user authentication and tenant authentication are performed sequentially when the user and the tenant are different, and when the user and the tenant (i.e., the entity using the building (e.g., landlord, building owner, tenant, etc.)) are the same, the smart glass (10) can be activated by performing only user authentication.

[0031] As an activation signal is transmitted to the smart glasses (10) in this way, the smart glasses (10) and the management server (20) are linked, making it possible to use the smart glasses (10).

[0032] When the smart glasses (10) and the management server (20) are linked, the management server (20) requests a QR code input through the smart glasses (10) so that the user's current location can be accurately determined (S140), and the user finds and scans a QR code formed in the space while wearing the smart glasses (10) (S150).

[0033] As a result, QR code information scanned from the smart glasses (10) is transmitted to the management server (20), and the management server (20) analyzes the QR code and transmits a selection menu to the smart glasses (10) (or the user's portable terminal) that allows the user to select which information they want, electric line information or pipe line information.

[0034] At this time, if the user selects either an electric line or a pipe line, the management server (20) transmits the line information selected by the user to the smart glasses (10) for the space where the user is located, and if the user selects both an electric line and a pipe line, both information is transmitted to the smart glasses (10) (S160).

[0035] As a result, the user can accurately check the location of the line through the electrical line and pipe line implemented in three dimensions at the current location via the augmented reality screen of the smart glasses (10) (S170).

[0036] The track information displayed on the smart glasses (10) can be provided not only with track information within a specific space but also with track information for the entire building where the user is located, depending on the user's selection.

[0037] Here, track information for the entire building is available only when the user receives usage authentication for the entire building from the building occupant.

[0038] Meanwhile, when the user moves to a space (e.g., from the master bedroom to the living room) (S180), the smart glasses (10) transmit a QR code request signal to the smart glasses (10), and when QR code information is transmitted from the smart glasses (10), a selection menu is provided to select track information for the space, and when the user selects track information, the track information is transmitted to the smart glasses (10).

[0039] As a result, the user can check the exact location of the track through track information displayed on the augmented reality screen of the smart glasses (10).

[0040] Meanwhile, if a user is receiving information on only one of the electric line or pipe line within the space (i.e., in a state where no movement occurs in the space) and wishes to receive information on another line, the user can select the service they wish to receive through the smart glasses (10) and receive the corresponding line information (S190).

[0041] In the above description, it was explained that the smart glasses (10) are activated after user authentication and tenant authentication, but after user authentication, the smart glasses (10) are activated, and after the smart glasses (10) scan the QR code formed inside the building, authentication of the tenant of the building is performed, so that the user can receive track information inside the building through the smart glasses (10).

[0042] That is, after user authentication and tenant authentication are performed sequentially, the smart glass (10) is activated, or after user authentication is performed and the smart glass (10) is activated, the QR code for a specific building is scanned on the smart glass (10) and transmitted to the management server (20), and the management server (20) performs tenant authentication and transmits track information within the building to the smart glass (10).

[0043] In other words, track information within the building is provided from the management server (20) to the smart glasses (10) only after occupant authentication is completed.

[0044] As such, the building management service system utilizing smart glasses according to an embodiment of the present invention provides electrical lines and pipe lines installed within the building in the form of holograms, so the exact location of the electrical lines and pipe lines can be verified, thereby enabling rapid processing of maintenance work caused by electrical leakage or water leakage.

[0045] As explained above, the detailed description of the present invention describes preferred embodiments of the present invention; however, this is merely an illustrative description of the best embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, it is obvious that anyone skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications and imitations within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention. Accordingly, the scope of the rights of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined by the claims set forth below as well as their equivalents.
