Description

Data transmission and reception system using multi-transmission

[0001] The present invention relates to a data transmission and reception system using multi-transmission, and more particularly, to a data transmission and reception system using multi-transmission capable of efficiently transmitting transmission data by transmitting posting data included in one transmission group while maintaining a multi-transmission interval during each repeated first transmission cycle.

[0002] Bluetooth is an industry standard for personal area networks (PANs) that uses the IEEE 802.15.1 specification and allows various devices to communicate with each other using radio frequencies that are available globally in a safe, low-cost manner.

[0003] Among the various versions of Bluetooth, a new protocol stack for low-power (BLE; Bluetooth Low Energy) is proposed starting with Bluetooth 4.0. This includes "Bluetooth Smart Ready" for power hosts and "Bluetooth Smart" for sensors.

[0004] These short-range communication terminals utilizing BLE technology are called beacons. Beacons eliminate the need for pairing between communication terminals, operate with low power consumption, and support one-to-many and many-to-many communication. These characteristics have led to their application in a variety of services, including advertising, information transmission, home automation, and payments.

[0005] However, existing technologies require a lot of cost and effort in purchasing and registering beacon terminals, building, maintaining, and repairing beacon service systems, etc., as they build a certain service system by installing small beacon terminals with built-in batteries, and the beacon terminals must be replaced when their batteries run out.

[0006] In addition, existing technologies only generate beacon signals as indicator signals that simply provide location information, and thus are unable to provide a protocol optimized for the data being transmitted.

[0007] In addition, existing technologies only cross-transmit multiple beacon signals and are unable to multi-transmit beacon signals.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a data transmission and reception system using multi-transmission, which can efficiently transmit transmission data by transmitting the posting data included in one transmission group while maintaining a multi-transmission interval during each repeated first transmission cycle.

[0009] A data transmission and reception system using multi-transmission according to the present invention includes a sensor node device that stores and transmits a plurality of transmission data to be transmitted for each of a plurality of advertising data, wherein the sensor node device groups the advertising data into a plurality of transmission groups, each corresponding to the number of multi-transmissions, and transmits the advertising data included in one transmission group during each of the first transmission periods that are repeated, and transmits the plurality of advertising data such that the transmission time points of each of the plurality of advertising data that are continuously transmitted during the same first transmission period maintain a multi-transmission interval.

[0010] The sensor node device includes a timer that sets a first counting time using the first transmission period, the multi-transmission interval, and the number of multi-transmissions at a transmission time when the posting data whose first data transmission order is the last n times among the posting data included in the one transmission group is transmitted, and then counts the first counting time; and when the counting of the first counting time is completed, the sensor node device can transmit posting data included in a transmission group whose group transmission order is next to the group transmission order of a previously transmitted transmission group.

[0011] The above timer can set the first counting time using the following mathematical formula.

[0012] <Mathematical formula>

[0013]

[0014] Here, Tc1 is the first counting time, Pi is the first transmission period, IPi is the multi-transmission interval, and Np is the number of multi-transmissions.

[0015] The timer sets a second counting time using the multi-transmission interval at a transmission time when the posting data having a first data transmission order of 1 to n-1 among the posting data included in the one transmission group is transmitted, and then counts the second counting time, and when the counting of the second counting time is completed, the sensor node device can transmit posting data having a first data transmission order that follows the first data transmission order of previously transmitted posting data.

[0016] The sensor node device transmits different posting data during each of the repeated second transmission cycles, and the timer sets a third counting time using the first transmission cycle, the multi-transmission interval, and the multi-transmission number at the transmission time point at which the different posting data is transmitted, and then counts the third counting time, and when the counting of the third counting time is completed, the sensor node device transmits other posting data whose second data transmission order follows the second data transmission order of other posting data previously transmitted, and the posting data may be stored as transmission data that is sensing data indicating a result of sensing a sensing target, and the other posting data may be stored as transmission data that is system data indicating information about the sensor node device.

[0017] The above timer can set the third counting time using the following mathematical formula.

[0018] <Mathematical formula>

[0019]

[0020] Here, Tc3 is the third counting time, Pi is the first transmission period, IPi is the multi-transmission interval, and Np is the number of multi-transmissions.

[0021] The sensor node device may store model name information of the sensor node device and data type information indicating the types of the plurality of transmission data in a UUID field constituting the posting data, and may further store device identification information indicating identification information of the device that generated the transmission data in a UUID field constituting the posting data.

[0022] A data transmission and reception system using multi-transmission according to the present invention includes the sensor node device; and a receiving device that receives posting data in which a plurality of transmission data are stored from the sensor node device; wherein the receiving device can determine whether the plurality of transmission data are notification conditions, and output a notification if the notification condition is determined to be the notification condition.

[0023] A data transmission and reception system using multi-transmission according to the present invention can efficiently transmit transmission data by transmitting the posting data included in one transmission group while maintaining a multi-transmission interval during each repeated first transmission cycle.

[0056] Additionally, the receiving device (200) may include a communication module (210), a processor (220), a display unit (230), and a storage unit (240).

[0057] The sensor node device (100) can store a plurality of transmission data to be transmitted in the advertising data and transmit them to the receiving device (200).

[0058] As illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6, the posting data may be 30 bytes long, and the posting data may include two AD (posting data) structures.

[0059] Specifically, the posting data may have a first AD structure for a Beacon Feature Flag and a second AD structure for a Beacon having actual beacon data.

[0060] The first AD structure and the second AD structure may each include a 1-byte size field (Data Length) indicating the size of data and a corresponding data field (AD Structure Data). The last row in FIGS. 5 and 6 may indicate the size of each field.

[0061] The data field of the first AD structure may include an AD type field and an AD Flag field, and the AD Flag value may indicate the mode of the sensor node device (100).

[0062] For example, when the AD Flag value is set to 0x06 = 00000110, the mode of the sensor node device (100) may be indicated as 20 bit (OFF): LE Limited Discoverable mode, 21 bit (ON): LE General Discoverable mode, 22 bit (ON): BR / EDR Not Supported, 23 bit (OFF): Simultaneous LE & BR / EDR to Same Device Capable (controller), 24 bit (OFF): Simultaneous LE & BR / EDR to Same Device Capable (Host), etc.

[0069] Here, the data type information may be any one of “SENSOR” indicating the result of sensing a specific gas by a sensor, “OTHERS” indicating the substrate temperature and battery and usage time information of the sensor node device (100), “ACCUMS” indicating the accumulated amount of toxic gas concentration, “GTVERS” indicating the firmware version information of the sensor node device (100), and “GTINFO” indicating the product serial number of the sensor node device (100).

[0070] The sensor node device (100) stores and transmits a plurality of transmission data to be transmitted for each of a plurality of posting data, groups the posting data into a plurality of transmission groups each equal to the number of multi-transmissions (Np), and transmits posting data (PK1, PK2) included in one transmission group (Pg) during each repeated first transmission cycle (Pi).

[0072] To this end, the sensor node device (100) may include a timer that sets a second counting time (Tc2) using a multi-transmission interval (IPi) at the transmission time when the posting data (PK1) whose first data transmission order is 1 to n-1 (n is the last transmission order) among the posting data included in one transmission group (Pg) is transmitted, and then counts the second counting time (Tc2).

[0073] Specifically, the timer can set the multi-transmission interval (IPi) to the second counting time (Tc2).

[0074] Here, the multi-transmission interval (IPi) can be preset to 20 ms or more according to the BLE communication standard.

[0075] Thereafter, when the counting of the second counting time (Tc2) is completed, the sensor node device (100) can transmit the posting data (Pk2) whose first data transmission order is next to the first data transmission order of the previously transmitted posting data (Pk1).

[0076] Next, the timer may include a timer that sets a first counting time (Tc1) using a first transmission period (Pi), a multi-transmission interval (IPi), and a multi-transmission number (Np) at a transmission time when the posting data (PK2) whose first data transmission order is the last n times among the posting data included in one transmission group (Pg) is transmitted, and then counts the first counting time (Tc1).

[0080]

[0081] Here, Tc1 is the first counting time, Pi is the first transmission period, IPi is the multi-transmission interval, and Np is the number of multi-transmissions.

[0082] Meanwhile, the sensor node device (100) can transmit other posting data (PK3) separately from the transmission of multiple posting data (PK1, PK2).

[0083] Here, the posting data (PK1, PK2) may be stored as transmission data, which is sensing data indicating the result of sensing a sensing target, and the other posting data (PK3) may be stored as transmission data, which is system data indicating information about a sensor node device (100).

[0084] The sensor node device (100) can transmit different posting data (PK3) during each repeated second transmission cycle (S-Pi).

[0085] At this time, the timer can set a third counting time using the first transmission cycle, the multi-transmission interval, and the number of multi-transmissions at the transmission time when other posting data is transmitted, and then count the third counting time.

[0089]

[0090] Here, Tc3 is the third counting time, Pi is the first transmission period, IPi is the multi-transmission interval, and Np is the number of multi-transmissions.

[0091] Meanwhile, the communication module (120) can transmit the above-described posting data.

[0092] The storage unit (130) can store programs (one or more instructions) for processing and control. The programs stored in the storage unit (130) can be divided into multiple modules according to function.

[0093] Meanwhile, the communication module (210) can receive the above-described posting data.

[0094] The processor (220) can control the operation of the receiving device (200).

[0095] The display unit (230) can display image data generated from the processor (220) under the control of the processor (220).

[0096] For this purpose, the display unit (230) may be equipped with a display module capable of outputting image data to the screen.

[0097] The processor (220) can perform the operations of each of the components described above, and may include one or more cores (not shown) and a graphics processing unit (not shown) and / or a connection path (e.g., a bus, etc.) for transmitting and receiving signals with other components.

[0112] Meanwhile, the sensor node device (100) can divide each of the plurality of transmission data (D1, D2, D3) into first division data (D1-1, D2-1, D3-1) and second division data (D1-2, D2-2, D3-2) having higher bits than the first division data (D1-1, D2-1, D3-1).

[0113] Specifically, the sensor node device (100) can divide each of the plurality of transmission data (D1, D2, D3) of 10 bytes into first division data (D1-1, D2-1, D3-1) of 8 bytes.

[0114] In addition, the sensor node device (100) can divide each of the plurality of transmission data (D1, D2, D3) of 10 bytes into second division data (D1-2, D2-2, D3-2) of 2 bytes.

[0124] For example, if the plurality of transmission data “D1”, “D2” and “D3” are 9 bytes, 8 bytes and 10 bytes respectively, the second division data “D1-2”, “D2-2” and “D3-2” are 1 byte, 0 bytes and 2 bytes respectively, so the total data size of the second division data (D1-2, D2-2, D3-2) is 3 bytes, and since this total data size is less than the storage size of the minor field excluding the detailed model name area (B7) of 6 bytes, the notification status information indicating whether to notify about the transmission data can be stored in the notification status area within the minor field.

[0125] To this end, among the second data storage areas (B4, B5, B6), the second data storage area in which the second segmented data is not stored (according to the example described above, 1 byte of the 2-1 data storage area (B4) and 2 bytes of the 2-3 data storage area (B6)) can be changed to a notification area.

[0126] Here, the notification information may be information indicating whether a notification is to be performed when the value indicated by the transmission data exceeds a reference value.

[0127] That is, the receiving device (200) indicates that the information regarding whether or not to notify in the received posting data indicates that a notification is to be performed when the numerical value indicated by the corresponding transmission data exceeds a reference value, and if the numerical value indicated by the corresponding transmission data exceeds the reference value, it is determined that it is a notification condition and can output a notification.
