Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a constant temperature and humidity control operation detection and alarm system that transmits alarm information containing information on the status of a facility, such as a data center, server facility, or computer room, where temperature and humidity must be maintained, to an administrator terminal, and prevents the transmission of the aforementioned alarm information from being blocked by interference with the facility's security means. Background Technology

[0002] In general, if facilities or equipment such as data centers, server facilities, and computer rooms are operated in environments outside the appropriate temperature range, problems such as malfunctions or shutdowns may occur, and high humidity can cause corrosion and electrical leakage of equipment within the facilities, thereby shortening their operating lifespan.

[0003] As temperature and humidity issues in such facilities act as a major factor hindering stable operation, facilities such as data centers, server facilities, and computer rooms generally operate constant temperature and humidity control systems to maintain a constant ambient temperature and humidity for stable operation.

[0004] In addition, for the reasons mentioned above, facilities operating constant temperature and humidity control systems generally install additional temperature and humidity sensing devices within the facility to monitor the facility's temperature and humidity in preparation for situations where the facility's temperature and humidity change rapidly and deviate from the appropriate levels.

[0005] However, the temperature and humidity monitoring method described above is based on a temperature and humidity sensing device installed in a single area, and thus can only detect temperature and humidity within a limited area. Consequently, it is difficult to easily recognize situations where the temperature and humidity of specific equipment located outside the sensing device's detection area deviate from the appropriate range, which presents a problem in that it is difficult to respond quickly when a problem occurs.

[0006] Recognizing this problem, systems for remotely monitoring temperature and humidity have recently been developed and provided. However, remote monitoring systems utilizing conventional technology are configured to monitor the status of equipment by transmitting and receiving information externally from temperature and humidity sensors installed at each facility using a standard wireless communication network.

[0007] However, conventional remote temperature and humidity monitoring systems have a problem in that they cannot be used in environments where system stability and security must be guaranteed, such as computer facilities where internal information security is critical, because they rely on existing wired or wireless communication networks for the transmission and reception of information, due to various security regulations for the operation of computer facilities.

[0036] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Note that in the attached drawings, identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals whenever possible. Detailed descriptions of known functions and configurations that may obscure the essence of the present invention will be omitted. For the same reason, some components in the attached drawings may be exaggerated, omitted, or schematically depicted.

[0037] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an exemplary overall system structure for implementing a constant temperature and humidity unit operation detection and alarm process according to the present invention.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 1, the entire system operation detection device (100), the temperature and humidity control device (200), and the administrator terminal may be configured to implement the operation detection and alarm process of the temperature and humidity control device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] A constant temperature and humidity device (200) is a device that is installed in any space in a facility or equipment that must maintain a constant temperature and humidity, detects the temperature and humidity, and performs temperature and humidity control operations to maintain a preset temperature in the facility or equipment according to the detected temperature and humidity.

[0040] Additionally, the above-described constant temperature and humidity device (200) can transmit an output signal to the motion detection device (100) to be described later, and the output signal may include data regarding the temperature and humidity detected by the constant temperature and humidity device (200), a control signal of the constant temperature and humidity device (200), unique identification information for distinguishing the constant temperature and humidity device (200), etc.

[0041] Meanwhile, the communication means for transmitting an output signal to the motion detection device (100) by the above-mentioned constant temperature and humidity device (200) can be implemented in various ways, but the present invention aims to prevent communication between system components for monitoring temperature and humidity within the facility from being interfered with by the facility's security device. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the means for transmitting the output signal is configured to transmit the output signal to the motion detection device (100) without using an external internet network.

[0042] The motion detection device (100) is configured to receive an output signal from the constant temperature and humidity unit (200) and to detect the operation of the constant temperature and humidity unit (200) based on the output signal. The motion detection device (100) can recognize the temperature and humidity of the facility based on the output signal received from the constant temperature and humidity unit, and can detect operation and identify changes in the state of the facility or facility by communicating with a configuration for detecting the state of the facility or equipment, such as a leak detection device, in addition to the constant temperature and humidity unit (200).

[0043] Meanwhile, the motion detection device (100) described above recognizes the output signal as an abnormal state when it receives an output signal in which the temperature or humidity exceeds a preset reference range. When the abnormal state is recognized, it transmits the output signal regarding the abnormal state to the alarm device so that the alarm device can transmit an alarm regarding the abnormal state to the manager.

[0044] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2, which is a drawing showing exemplary detailed configurations of the motion detection device (100) according to the present invention, the detailed configuration of the motion detection device (100) described above may be configured to include an alarm warning light (120) and an alarm sound speaker (130) that output an alarm when an abnormal state signal is detected, a power status indicator (140) that displays the power status of the motion detection device (100), and a temperature and humidity meter (150) that can measure temperature and humidity within the motion detection device (100) and detect an abnormal state signal accordingly.

[0045] Meanwhile, the management module (110) illustrated in FIG. 2 is a device that displays an output from the motion detection device (100) or receives input from a user regarding the setting and control of the constant temperature and humidity device (200), the motion detection device (100), or the alarm device to be described later, and allows the user to check and change the setting values ​​of the devices to be described. Accordingly, the management module (110) can provide a display and user interface that allows the user to change the status and setting values ​​of the devices. The management module (110) is a configuration that can be connected to the motion detection device (100) and detailed components connected to the motion detection device (100). It may be implemented in the form of an independent device, but it is also possible to form it as a single device with the motion detection device.

[0046] Meanwhile, to specifically explain the setting values ​​that can be checked or changed through the management module (110) described above, the setting values ​​include the temperature, humidity, management company information for the facility, the designated setting of the manager terminal (300) that transmits the alarm device, the alarm setting, the IO input management setting, the sending alarm record information, the alarm sending time setting, etc.

[0047] Here, the alarm setting is a setting for the temperature and humidity at which the alarm device transmits an alarm when the motion detection device (100) recognizes that the state is abnormal, and can be set for each facility where each temperature and humidity control device or a plurality of temperature and humidity control devices are arranged and managed.

[0048] Additionally, the IO input management setting is a setting for duplicate transmission of alarms and transmission phrases, etc., that the alarm device transmits to the administrator terminal (300). For example, the IO input management setting may include a setting for the number of times the alarm device duplicates the alarm to the administrator terminal (300), or a setting for alarm phrases such as “A leak has occurred in Zone 1,” or “Please check Zone 2.”

[0049] Here, the alarm sending time setting refers to the period for sending an alarm regarding the status of the facility, or the setting for a specific time for sending an alarm regarding the status of the facility. In one embodiment of the present invention, the alarm device can periodically send an alarm to the manager based on a certain time or a specific time according to the above-described alarm sending time setting.

[0050] Meanwhile, the verification and modification of the setting values ​​for the above-described constant temperature and humidity device (200), motion detection device (100), and alarm device, etc., are performed only by the management module (110), and the verification and modification of the setting values ​​may be restricted so that they cannot be performed by external components. This configuration is intended to prevent external intrusion into the system configuration of the present invention to change the setting values ​​and control the devices.

[0051] Meanwhile, although not illustrated in the drawings, the system configuration of the present invention may include an alarm device connected to a motion detection device. The alarm device is configured to receive an output signal from the motion detection device (100) and, based on the output signal, generate an alarm to notify a manager of a change in temperature or humidity of the facility. Here, the output signal transmitted between the motion detection device (100) and the alarm device may include an output signal received by the motion detection device (100) from each constant temperature and humidity unit (200) and information regarding the temperature and humidity of the facility recognized by the motion detection device (100). More specifically, the alarm device may transmit an alarm to a manager terminal (300). At this time, the transmission of the alarm may be carried out using various communication methods such as CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), DMA (Time Division Multiple Access), or FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access), but in a preferred embodiment, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is used. This is because it can bypass the restrictions of the external internet network and communicate securely, and since it does not require the use of the external internet network blocked by external security facilities, it can minimize security risks that may occur during the data transmission process. In addition, the alarm transmitted from the alarm device to the administrator terminal (300) can be in the form of an SMS, and the alarm may include information such as alarm type, location information, time information, detailed description, and guidance on response measures. Meanwhile, the aforementioned alarm device is a configuration connected to a motion detection device and detailed components connected to the motion detection device, and while it may be implemented in the form of an independent device, it is also possible to form it as a single device with the motion detection device.

[0052] Meanwhile, to specifically explain the information that may be included in the alarm transmitted by the aforementioned alarm device, the alarm type may refer to a specification of the alarm type. For example, the alarm type may specify a type of alarm situation, such as when the temperature received from the constant temperature and humidity unit (200) deviates from a preset range or when a leak is detected.

[0053] In addition, location information refers to the location of the device or facility where the alarm occurred, and through this location information, the manager can identify where the problem occurred.

[0054] In addition, the aforementioned time information may refer to the time when the alarm occurred. This allows the manager to identify when an abnormal condition occurred and respond immediately. For example, this could be information indicating a risk of fire due to a rise in facility temperature, or potential facility damage due to the detection of a leak.

[0055] Additionally, the response measure guidance may refer to information regarding appropriate response measures that a manager must take regarding the abnormal condition. For example, it may refer to guidance to change the control temperature of the constant temperature and humidity unit (200) or activate the cooling device if the temperature of the facility is abnormally high, or to isolate the area and take repair measures as soon as possible if a person is detected.

[0056] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention that can be implemented by the configurations described above will be described.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the management module (110) may request administrator authentication when attempting to verify or change settings. More specifically, the management module (110) stores administrator information including the name, number, and authentication information of the administrator, and may receive authentication information from the administrator. When authentication information is received from the administrator, the management module performs verification of the received authentication information based on the administrator information, and may allow or deny access to the administrator based on the verification result.

[0058] For example, the management module (110) compares the authentication information received from the administrator with the authentication information in the stored administrator information corresponding to the administrator who entered the authentication information. If the degree of agreement between the two pieces of information exceeds a standard degree of agreement, the management module (100) determines that the received authentication information matches the authentication information in the stored administrator information and may allow access to the administrator who entered the authentication information. Meanwhile, if the degree of agreement between the two pieces of information is less than the standard degree of agreement, the management module (100) determines that the received authentication information does not match the authentication information in the stored administrator information and may refuse access to the administrator who entered the authentication information. At this time, the management module (110) may further include means for receiving or collecting authentication information, and the means for collecting / receiving authentication information can be implemented by a biometric recognition device such as fingerprint recognition or pupil recognition. Additionally, the means for collecting / receiving authentication information can also be implemented by an administrator terminal (300) connected to the management module to transmit authentication information.

[0059] Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention, the motion detection device (100) further includes a prediction analysis module, and the prediction analysis module can generate and update record data regarding the temperature and humidity of the facility prior to the current time based on an output signal received from the constant temperature and humidity device (200), and can generate and update prediction data regarding the temperature and humidity of the facility after the current time based on the output signal received from the constant temperature and humidity device (200) and the record data.

[0060] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the record data and the prediction data are time-series data, and the prediction analysis module generates training data by comparing the prediction data and record data of corresponding times, and when generating the prediction data, it performs correction based on the training data and can generate the corrected value as the prediction data.

[0061] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the motion detection device (100) may recognize the temperature or humidity as exceeding the reference range of a set value and the prediction data corresponding to the reference period of the set value as an abnormal state. More specifically, the prediction analysis module calculates prediction data regarding the temperature and humidity of the facility and generates learning data by comparing the prediction data with the temperature and humidity of the output signal received. Subsequently, based on the learning data, if the prediction data regarding the temperature and humidity of the facility exceeds the range of a preset set value, the prediction analysis module may send an alarm to the manager.

[0062] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the constant temperature and humidity unit (200) may be formed in multiple numbers and installed at different locations, and the record data and prediction data may be generated for each constant temperature and humidity unit.

[0063] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the motion detection device (100) can recognize the location of the constant temperature and humidity unit based on an output signal received from the constant temperature and humidity unit, and the recorded data and prediction data may further include location information. This is a configuration for implementing an embodiment that calculates prediction data reflecting the spatial and environmental characteristics of a facility by ensuring that temperature changes according to each spatial characteristic information and the density of the constant temperature and humidity unit are reflected in the learning data.

[0064] With reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 below, a method of determining spatial characteristics within a facility where temperature and humidity are managed by a constant temperature and humidity controller according to the above-described embodiment, and calculating analysis data or prediction data for each space where a constant temperature and humidity controller (200) is placed based thereon, will be explained in detail.

[0065] In the above-described embodiment, the motion detection device (100) can calculate analysis data and prediction data for each area based on location information regarding the coordinates where each temperature and humidity control unit (200) is placed, which is data stored in advance, and information regarding each space of the facility linked to said location information.

[0066] Additionally, multiple constant temperature and humidity units (200) may be installed at different locations, and the motion detection device (100) according to the present invention may be designed not only to control the constant temperature and humidity units (200) individually, but also to control multiple constant temperature and humidity units (200) as a single group as needed.

[0067] For example, if a plurality of temperature and humidity control units (200) are installed within a large space and a motion detection device (100) can continuously receive data regarding temperature and humidity from these temperature and humidity control units (200), and if, as a result of analyzing the temperature and humidity at the location where each temperature and humidity control unit (200) is installed, the temperature measured by some temperature and humidity control units (200) shows a value exceeding a reference value, and if an arbitrary spatial area can be defined by a line virtually connecting the locations of the temperature and humidity control units (200) showing such temperatures, the motion detection device (100) can group the temperature and humidity control units (200) included in the defined spatial area into one group and control them.

[0068] The motion detection device (100) can select the temperature and humidity control units (200) that require group control by referring to location information, which is information about the location where the temperature and humidity control units (200) are placed, and data regarding temperature and / or humidity received from each temperature and humidity control unit (200). By executing group control, monitoring and temperature and humidity control of a specific space area, that is, monitoring and temperature and humidity control using the space area as a unit standard, may be possible.

[0069] For reference, in this detailed description, information about the space requiring group control, that is, information generated by the motion detection device (100) through a series of operations, will be referred to as “space estimation information.”

[0070] Referring to FIG. 4, the area represented as a rectangle in the drawing is a visual representation of an arbitrary area, indicating the appearance prior to the motion detection device (100) defining the spatial area. The circles arranged within the rectangular area represent the coordinates of the constant temperature and humidity unit (200). Through this, the motion detection device can generate spatial estimation information containing information about a virtual area and map the coordinates of each constant temperature and humidity unit to the space on the spatial estimation information.

[0071] The motion detection device (100) classifies and groups temperature and humidity units (200) that have similar flow or pattern of temperature and humidity changes detected at the same time, based on the recorded data for each temperature and humidity unit (200). At this time, an example of the grouped temperature and humidity units (200) can be illustrated as in FIG. 5.

[0072] Referring to FIG. 5, the lines forming regions in different colors in the drawing represent each group classified by the grouping described above, and the circles placed within each color region represent the temperature and humidity control devices included in the group. Through this, it can be seen that the motion detection device can classify the temperature and humidity control devices in the spatial estimation information into multiple groups. That is, the motion detection device (100) can group multiple temperature and humidity control devices (200) within a single space and define them in a form that allows for multiple group control as shown in FIG. 5.

[0073] Meanwhile, the motion detection device (100) may determine, based on information grouping the constant temperature and humidity units (200) and location information for each constant temperature and humidity unit (200), that for constant temperature and humidity units (200) that exist in adjacent coordinate locations but are classified into different groups, there exists an object (such as a wall, a flowerpot, or an object capable of arbitrarily dividing space) that separates the space of the constant temperature and humidity units (200), thereby redefining the boundary separating the groups of the constant temperature and humidity units (200) and reflecting this in the space estimation information. At this time, the space estimation information may be expressed as shown in FIG. 6.

[0074] Referring to FIG. 6, the lines represented by dashed lines in the drawing represent boundaries that divide the area in the spatial estimation information, and through this, it can be seen that the space within the facility is estimated based on the boundaries generated by the motion detection device. In FIG. 6, it can be seen that one large space is divided into 16 spaces, and that the constant temperature and humidity units (200) corresponding to each space are grouped and displayed. FIG. 7 also illustrates each independent space estimated in another way by the motion detection device (100).

[0075] Subsequently, the motion detection device (100) can calculate spatial characteristic information including the estimated area, volume, shape, and temperature and humidity variability values ​​according to the operation of the temperature and humidity control device (200) for each space separated by the boundary on the spatial estimation information, based on the recorded data of the temperature and humidity control device (200) placed in each space separated by the boundary on the spatial estimation information.

[0076] Subsequently, the motion detection device can calculate prediction data that reflects the estimated area, volume, shape, and temperature and humidity variability values ​​according to the operation of the constant temperature and humidity unit (200) for each space of the facility based on the calculated spatial characteristic information.

[0077] Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention, the motion detection device (100) further includes a self-diagnosis module, and the self-diagnosis module can receive temperature and humidity control status information from the temperature and humidity control unit, which is information regarding the sensor status, power supply status, filter status, etc. of the temperature and humidity control unit. In addition, when the self-diagnosis module detects temperature and humidity control status information that exceeds a preset range of values, it can transmit an output signal to the alarm device so that the alarm device receives an alarm regarding the temperature and humidity control status information at the administrator terminal. At this time, the alarm may include information regarding maintenance guidance and scheduling for the temperature and humidity control unit (200) whose temperature and humidity control status information exceeds the preset range. In addition, the self-diagnosis module may record a history of maintenance for the temperature and humidity control unit (200).

[0078] Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of constant temperature and humidity units (200) may be formed, and the motion detection device (100) further includes a pattern analysis module, wherein the pattern analysis module analyzes the temperature / humidity recognition pattern for each constant temperature and humidity unit based on a received output signal and generates pattern data for all constant temperature and humidity units based on the analyzed data. Additionally, when the pattern analysis module detects a constant temperature and humidity unit with a temperature / humidity recognition pattern whose similarity to the pattern data is lower than a reference range, it can transmit an output signal to an alarm device to control the alarm device to transmit maintenance information regarding the constant temperature and humidity unit to an administrator terminal.
