Abstract
Description
An AI platform that provides on-site, personalized AI, a method for assessing on-site situations, and an edge AI-based system that collects and analyzes spatial stay information.
[0001] The present invention relates to an AI platform that provides field-tailored and personalized artificial intelligence, a method for performing field situation assessment, and an edge AI-based system that collects and analyzes spatial stay information.
[0002] In recent years, rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have brought about revolutionary changes in various fields. In particular, advancements in machine learning and deep learning have made AI a crucial tool in various industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, safety management, and transportation. Systems that utilize this AI technology to assess and respond to on-site situations in real time are also attracting attention.
[0003] Traditional on-site situation assessment systems collect field data through various sensors installed on-site, then transmit this data to a central server or cloud, where an AI model analyzes and derives results. For example, in a manufacturing plant, if sensors monitor machine temperature, vibration, and noise, the sensor data is quickly transmitted to a central server, where an AI model analyzes it to detect machine abnormalities early, enabling immediate action. Thus, existing systems operate efficiently when sensors accurately collect field data, rapidly transmit the data to a central server or cloud, and the server's AI model rapidly analyzes the data and derives results. This allows for near-real-time assessment of field situations and appropriate responses.
[0004] However, existing systems suffer from issues such as delays in data transmission, noise in sensor data, resulting in reduced accuracy, and delays in analysis on the central server. Furthermore, field data transmitted over networks poses security threats, and privacy concerns, particularly when collecting data containing personal information, can arise. Therefore, there is a growing need to implement a system that enables faster and more efficient assessment of field situations while addressing security and privacy concerns.
[0005] To address the challenges of existing systems, the development of AI capable of processing and analyzing data on-site is necessary. In other words, AI needs to be able to analyze and make decisions in real time, on-site, without relying on a central server or cloud. On-device AI, or edge AI, refers to AI that operates within the device itself, without a network. By processing data directly on-site, edge AI minimizes data transmission delays and enables accurate, real-time decisions. Furthermore, by processing field data and making decisions within the device without a network, it can address security and privacy concerns that can arise in existing systems.
[0006] To implement an edge AI-based on-site situation assessment system, the AI model must be sufficiently lightweight and optimized to operate within the device. Furthermore, a stable local network for communication between edge devices is required.
[0007] The present invention has been conceived in response to the above-described background technology, and its purpose is to analyze field data and perform field situation judgment based on edge AI without network connection.

[0010] Additionally, the present invention aims to prevent personal information leakage by enabling users to use artificial intelligence models on edge devices without a network connection.
[0011] In addition, the present invention aims to increase usability by allowing users to share their experiences of using and optimizing artificial intelligence models through an artificial intelligence platform, so that other users can also experience them.

[0412] FIG. 5a is a drawing for explaining an embodiment of transmitting vehicle usage method information of a vehicle (30) of a driver wearing an AR device (20) from an external terminal (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention to a vehicle driver.
[0413] In this specification, the driver assistance system using edge AI is described as an AR device (20) that provides AR worn by a vehicle driver. However, it includes not only an AR device (20) that provides AR worn by a vehicle driver, but also all embodiments in which drivers of transportation such as airplanes, helicopters, bicycles, and motorcycles wear AR devices, and is not limited thereto.

[0415] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle driver can wear an AR device (20), and since the AR device (20) is capable of data communication with an external terminal (100), the AR device (20) can receive a vehicle operation method for a specific vehicle of the vehicle driver from the external terminal (100) and sequentially display the method on the display unit (21) of the AR device (20), thereby allowing the vehicle driver to learn the driving method of the corresponding vehicle.
[0416] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle driver can wear an AR device (20), and the AR device processor unit (23) detects the vehicle, recognizes it, and sequentially displays a vehicle operation method for a specific vehicle of the vehicle driver on the display unit (21) of the AR device (20), thereby allowing the vehicle driver to learn how to drive the vehicle.
[0417] As illustrated in FIG. 5b, when a driver of a vehicle is riding in a vehicle (30) of a driver wearing an AR device, an augmented reality image (21-1) may be projected into the driver's field of vision when the driver wears the AR device (20). If the driver is inexperienced in driving the vehicle, the projected augmented reality image (21-1) may provide guidance on how to operate the vehicle. For example, the augmented reality image (21-1) may display the words "First of all, please fasten your seat belt" with an arrow pointing toward the seat belt, and a guidance voice may be simultaneously output from the AR device (20). As a result, the driver of the vehicle may recognize that he or she must fasten his or her seat belt first. Then, when the driver of the vehicle fastens his or her seat belt, the AR device processor unit (23) may recognize that the driver of the vehicle has fastened his or her seat belt, and the display unit (21) may guide the next step of operation. In this case, the augmented reality image (21-1) can provide a phrase such as "Next, please adjust the side mirrors," and when the vehicle driver adjusts the side mirrors appropriately, the AR device processor unit (23) can recognize that the vehicle driver has adjusted the side mirrors appropriately. Next, the augmented reality image (21-1) can provide a phrase such as "Next, please release the parking brake," and at this time, the augmented reality image (21-1) can display the parking brake portion using an effect such as an arrow or highlight so that the vehicle driver can recognize where the parking brake is located.

[0418] However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the method of operating the vehicle may differ depending on the type of vehicle, and the method of operating the vehicle may also differ depending on the model of the vehicle. Therefore, the AR device (20) may receive information reflecting the type of vehicle, the model of the vehicle, the degree of the driver's inexperience in driving, etc. from the external terminal (100) and provide an augmented reality image (21-1) accordingly. In addition, instead of the AR device (20) receiving information reflecting the type of vehicle, the model of the vehicle, the degree of the driver's inexperience in driving, etc. from the external terminal (100), the AR device processor unit (23) may detect the model of the vehicle, etc. on its own, recognize it, and provide an augmented reality image (21-1) accordingly.
[0419] Embodiment of Fig. 6
[0420] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing an augmented reality image (21-1) that provides distance information from a preceding vehicle among one embodiment of an augmented reality image (21-1) displayed on a display unit (21) of an AR device (20) according to the present invention.

[0423] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when a vehicle (30) of a driver wearing an AR device gets closer to another vehicle or a vehicle (30-1) of a driver wearing another AR device by a predetermined distance or less while driving, an image indicating the distance to the vehicle in front with an arrow may be provided along with a phrase and a guidance voice such as "The distance to the vehicle in front is getting narrower. Slow down" through an augmented reality image (21-1) displayed on the display unit (21) of the AR device (20). According to another embodiment, when the distance to the vehicle in front gets closer to a predetermined distance or less, an augmented reality image (21-1) displayed on the display unit (21) of the AR device (20) may simultaneously output a phrase such as "The distance to the vehicle in front is getting narrower.

[0429] Embodiments of Figs. 8, 9, and 10
[0430] FIG. 8 is a drawing for explaining an embodiment of guiding a vehicle driver to an optimal parking space considering the destination of the vehicle driver through communication with an external terminal (100) and electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting a plurality of sensor device infrastructures when the vehicle (30) of the driver wearing the AR device according to the present invention enters a parking lot.
[0431] In this specification, the driver assistance system using edge AI is described as an AR device (20) that provides AR worn by a vehicle driver. However, it includes not only an AR device (20) that provides AR worn by a vehicle driver, but also all embodiments in which drivers of transportation such as airplanes, helicopters, bicycles, and motorcycles wear AR devices, and is not limited thereto.
[0432] FIG. 9 is a drawing showing an augmented reality image (21-1) that appears to guide the driver to an optimal parking space considering the destination of the driver through communication with an external terminal (100) and electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting a plurality of sensor device infrastructures when the driver's vehicle (30) wearing the AR device according to the present invention enters a parking lot.
[0433] FIG. 10 is a drawing showing an augmented reality image (21-1) that provides a movement path from a parking space in a building to a destination when a vehicle (30) of a driver wearing an AR device according to the present invention enters a parking lot, and the optimal parking space considering the destination of the driver is guided through communication with an external terminal (100) and electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting a plurality of sensor device infrastructures.
[0434] As illustrated, the display unit (21) can output data related to the shortest distance parking space between the driver's destination and the parking location as an augmented reality image.
[0435] As illustrated, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when a vehicle driver has a destination (40) within a building such as a department store, outlet, or other complex shopping center, the distance to the destination (40) within the building of the specific vehicle driver may become relatively shorter depending on the parking location. Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 8, an external terminal (100) communicates with an AR device (20) or an electronic device (10) constituting a plurality of sensor device infrastructures with respect to the building such as the complex shopping center, so that the AR device (20) can guide the driver to an optimal parking location by taking into consideration the current parking situation and the optimal route to the destination (40) within the building of the specific vehicle driver.
[0436] As illustrated in FIG. 9, the vehicle driver can be guided to the optimal parking location determined by the AR device (20) in consideration of the current parking situation and the optimal route to the destination (40) within the building of the specific vehicle driver through an augmented reality image (21-1). Specifically, the driver can be visually guided to the optimal parking location in real time through an arrow on the augmented reality image (21-1) indicating the vehicle (30) of the driver currently wearing the AR device. As illustrated in FIG. 10, for example, if the destination (40) within the building of the specific vehicle driver is a movie theater within the building, if the driver parks in the current parking space provided by the AR device (20) through the augmented reality image (21-1), the driver can reach the destination (40) within the building of the specific vehicle driver through a certain route, and the driver can recognize that the parking space is the shortest distance to the destination (40) within the building of the specific vehicle driver. Accordingly, the augmented reality image (21-1) can provide a route to a destination (40) within a building for a specific vehicle driver, and can simultaneously provide a phrase and guidance voice such as "If you want to go to the movie theater, this is the closest place to park!!"
[0437] According to another embodiment of the present invention, when there is no optimal parking space, the AR device processor unit (23) can recommend to the driver of the vehicle a parking space with the shortest distance to the destination (40) within the building of the specific driver of the vehicle among the remaining parking spaces, and the driver of the vehicle can recognize that the parking space is the shortest distance to the destination (40) within the building of the specific driver of the vehicle. Accordingly, the augmented reality image (21-1) can provide a path to the destination (40) within the building of the specific driver of the vehicle.
[0438] According to another embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 8, a plurality of electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting a plurality of sensor device infrastructures can be positioned within a parking lot, and communication can be established between the electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting the plurality of sensor device infrastructures, communication can be established between an external terminal (100) and the electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting the plurality of sensor device infrastructures, communication can be established between an AR device (20) and the electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting the plurality of sensor device infrastructures, and communication can be established between the AR device (20) and the external terminal (100). In this case, through communication between the external terminal (100) and the electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting the plurality of sensor device infrastructures, it is possible to determine an optimal parking space by communicating with the AR device (20) in real time in consideration of vacant spaces in the parking lot, preferred parking spaces of the vehicle driver, and the final destination of the vehicle driver. Alternatively, an augmented reality image (21-1) may be provided by highlighting optimal parking spots along with the location of the vehicle (30) of the driver wearing the AR device in the current parking lot. In addition, the AR device processor unit (23) may determine the optimal parking spot through communication with the electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting the multiple sensor device infrastructure, without going through communication between the external terminal (100) and the electronic devices (10-1, 10-2) constituting the multiple sensor device infrastructure.

[0468] As described above, the field facility control infrastructure (10-2) utilizing the edge AI system may include the edge AI infrastructure (200-2).
[0469] As illustrated in FIGS. 12A and 12B , the edge AI infrastructure (200-2) may include at least one edge AI system (210-2). The edge AI system (210-2) may include at least one node device (220-2) and a head device (230-2). Hereinafter, the edge AI infrastructure (200-2), the edge AI system (210-2), the node device (220-2), and the head device (230-2) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 12A to 12F .
[0470] Edge AI system
[0471] As illustrated in FIG. 12a, the edge AI infrastructure (200-2) may include at least one edge AI system (210-2).
[0472] As illustrated in FIG. 12b, the edge AI system (210-2) may include at least one node device (220-2) and a head device (230-2).
[0473] Hereinafter, the node device (220-2) and the head device (230-2) according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 12c and 12f.
[0474] Node device
[0475] FIG. 12c is a diagram showing a node device configured to receive location information from a user terminal according to the present invention and sense facility environment information from a field facility.
[0476] As illustrated in (a) of FIG. 12c, the node device (220-2) can communicate with at least one user terminal (100-2) of a user and receive location information (20-2) from the user terminal (100-2). For example, the node device (220-2) can obtain location information (20-2) using at least one of a UWB-based tracking method and a Wi-Fi waveform pattern analysis method. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0477] According to the present invention, a UWB-based tracking method achieves high resolution by shortening signal transmission times, thereby enabling high-precision location tracking. Furthermore, UWB-based tracking is less affected by walls or obstacles, making it easier to track location in indoor environments compared to GPS. Furthermore, UWB-based tracking consumes less power, making it suitable for mobile devices, edge devices, and wearables where battery life is critical.
[0478] According to the present invention, the Wi-Fi waveform pattern analysis method can utilize existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, thereby reducing the cost of additional hardware installation. Furthermore, the Wi-Fi waveform pattern analysis method can update location information at a shorter interval than GPS. Furthermore, due to the characteristic of Wi-Fi signals that can maintain a strong signal even indoors, the Wi-Fi waveform pattern analysis method is more advantageous for location tracking in indoor environments than GPS, which weakens its signal indoors.
[0479] As illustrated in (b) of FIG. 12c, the node device (220-2) may include a sensor unit (221-2). Specifically, the node device (220-2) may sense facility environment information (40-2) through the sensor unit (221-2). For example, the sensor unit (221-2) may be at least one environmental sensor selected from the group consisting of a camera, an infrared camera, a temperature sensor, an illuminance sensor, a vibration sensor, an air sensor, and an acoustic sensor. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0480] According to one embodiment of the invention, the edge AI system (210-2) may include at least one node device (220-2), and the sensor unit (221-2) of each node device (220-2) among the at least one node device (220-2) may be a different sensor.
[0481] head device
[0482] Figure 12d is a diagram illustrating a head device including a network unit, a memory unit, and a processor unit according to the present invention. Figure 12e is a diagram illustrating a head device configured to transmit facility control information according to the present invention to an integrated control server. Figure 12f is a schematic diagram illustrating one or more network functions for generating facility control information according to the present invention.
[0483] As illustrated in FIG. 12D, the head device (230-2) may include a network unit (231-2), a memory unit (232-2), and a processor unit (233-2). Specifically, the head device (230-2) may communicate with an external device or server, such as a user terminal (100-2), a node device (220-2), or an integrated control server (300-2), through the network unit (231-2). In addition, the head device (230-2) may store information received from the outside through the memory unit (232-2) or store an analysis model, such as an artificial intelligence model (234-2). In addition, the head device (230-2) may process information received from the outside through the processor unit (233-2) or drive an analysis model, such as an artificial intelligence model (234-2), stored in the memory unit (232-2).
[0484] As illustrated in FIG. 12e, the head device (230-2) can communicate with at least one node device (220-2) and an integrated control server (300-2) via a network unit (231-2). Specifically, the head device (230-2) can receive location information (20-2) and facility environment information (40-2) from the node device (220-2) via the network unit (231-2). In addition, specifically, the head device (230-2) can identify personal information (30-2) transmitted to the integrated control server (300-2) by a user terminal (100-2) that has received location information (20-2) via the network unit (231-2) via the integrated control server (300-2). In addition, specifically, the head device (230-2) can transmit facility control information (50-2) to the integrated control server (300-2) via the network unit (231-2). Here, the facility control information (50-2) may be information generated by the head device (230-2) based on at least one of location information (20-2), personal information (30-2), and facility environment information (40-2).
[0485] According to the present invention, the head device (230-2) can generate facility control information (50-2) by using at least one of location information (20-2), personal information (30-2), and facility environment information (40-2) as input to the artificial intelligence model (234-2). Here, the facility control information (50-2) may mean information configured to enable the integrated control server (300-2) to control the field facility (500-2) and / or information configured to enable the integrated control server (300-2) to transmit user terminal control information (60-2) to the user terminal (100-2).
[0486] According to the present invention, the artificial intelligence model (234-2) utilized by the head device (230-2) to generate facility control information (50-2) may be stored in the memory unit (232-2) of the head device (230-2). In addition, the processor unit (233-2) of the head device (230-2) may drive the artificial intelligence model (234-2) stored in the memory unit (232-2). When the head device (230-2) receives or identifies at least one of location information (20-2), personal information (30-2), and facility environment information (40-2), the head device (230-2) may utilize the artificial intelligence model (234-2) driven by the processor unit (233-2) to process the same, thereby generating facility control information (50-2).
[0487] As illustrated in FIG. 12F, the artificial intelligence model (234-2) of the head device (230-2) is composed of one or more network functions, and the one or more network functions may be composed of a set of interconnected computational units, which may generally be referred to as 'nodes'. These 'nodes' may also be referred to as 'neurons'. The one or more network functions are composed of at least one node. The nodes (or neurons) constituting the one or more network functions may be interconnected by one or more 'links'.
[0488] According to the present invention, one or more nodes connected through links can form a relationship between input nodes and output nodes relatively within a neural network. The concept of input nodes and output nodes is relative, and any node in an output node relationship with respect to one node can also be in an input node relationship with respect to another node, and vice versa. As described above, the relationship between input nodes and output nodes can be created based on links. One or more output nodes can be connected to one input node through links, and vice versa.
[0489] According to the present invention, in a relationship between input nodes and output nodes connected through a single link, the value of the output node can be determined based on data input to the input node. Here, the node interconnecting the input node and the output node can have a weight. The weight can be variable and can be varied by a user or an algorithm so that the neural network can perform a desired function. For example, when one or more input nodes are interconnected to one output node through respective links, the output node can determine the output node value based on the values input to the input nodes connected to the output node and the weights set for the links corresponding to the respective input nodes.
[0490] According to the present invention, a neural network is formed by interconnecting one or more nodes through one or more links, thereby forming input and output node relationships within the neural network. Furthermore, the characteristics of the neural network can be determined based on the number of nodes and links within the neural network, the correlations between the nodes and links, and the weight values assigned to each link. For example, if two neural networks exist with the same number of nodes and links and different weight values between the links, the two neural networks can be recognized as different from each other.
[0491] According to the present invention, some of the nodes constituting a neural network can form a layer based on their distances from the initial input node. For example, a set of nodes that are n distances from the initial input node can form n layers. The distance from the initial input node can be defined by the minimum number of links that must be passed through to reach the node from the initial input node. However, this definition of a layer is arbitrary for the purpose of explanation, and the order of a layer within a neural network can be defined in a different way than described above. For example, the layer of nodes can also be defined by their distance from the final output node.
[0492] According to the present invention, the initial input node may refer to one or more nodes in a neural network into which data is directly input without going through links in their relationship with other nodes. Alternatively, the initial input node may refer to nodes that do not have other input nodes connected by links in the relationship between nodes based on links in the neural network. Similarly, the final output node may refer to one or more nodes in a neural network that do not have output nodes in their relationship with other nodes.
[0493] According to the present invention, hidden nodes may refer to nodes that constitute a neural network other than the initial input node and the final output node. A neural network according to one embodiment of the present invention may have more nodes in the input layer than in the hidden layer closer to the output layer, and may be a neural network in which the number of nodes decreases as it progresses from the input layer to the hidden layer.
[0494] According to the present invention, a neural network may include one or more hidden layers. The hidden nodes of the hidden layers may take as input the output of the previous layer and the output of the surrounding hidden nodes. The number of hidden nodes for each hidden layer may be the same or different. The number of nodes of the input layer may be determined based on the number of data fields of the input data and may be the same as or different from the number of hidden nodes. Input data input to the input layer may be operated by the hidden nodes of the hidden layer and may be output by the output layer, which is a fully connected layer (FCL).
[0495] In the present invention, the network function may include a deep neural network (DNN). A deep neural network (DNN) may refer to a neural network that includes multiple hidden layers in addition to an input layer and an output layer. Using a deep neural network, it is possible to identify latent structures in data. Specifically, it is possible to identify the latent structures of photos, text, videos, voices, and music (e.g., what objects are in a photo, what the content and emotion of a text are, what the content and emotion of a voice are, etc.).
[0496] According to the present invention, the deep neural network may include a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), an auto encoder, a generative adversarial network (GAN), a restricted boltzmann machine (RBM), a deep belief network (DBN), a Q network, a U network, a Siamese network, a transformer, a vision transformer (ViT), a mobile vision transformer (Mobile ViT), and the like. The description of the above-described deep neural network is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0497] In the present invention, the network function may include an autoencoder. An autoencoder may be a type of artificial neural network that outputs output data similar to input data. The autoencoder may include at least one hidden layer, and an odd number of hidden layers may be positioned between the input and output layers.
[0498] According to the present invention, the number of nodes in each layer may be reduced from the number of nodes in the input layer to an intermediate layer called a bottleneck layer (encoding), and then expanded in a symmetrical manner from the bottleneck layer to the output layer (symmetrical to the input layer).
[0499] According to the present invention, the nodes of the dimensionality reduction layer and the dimensionality restoration layer may or may not be symmetrical. The autoencoder can perform nonlinear dimensionality reduction. The number of input layers and output layers may correspond to the number of sensors remaining after preprocessing the input data.
[0500] According to the present invention, in an autoencoder structure, the number of nodes in a hidden layer included in the encoder may have a structure in which the number of nodes decreases as it moves away from the input layer. If the number of nodes in the bottleneck layer (the layer with the fewest nodes located between the encoder and the decoder) is too small, a sufficient amount of information may not be transmitted, so it may be maintained at a certain number or more (e.g., more than half of the input layer).
[0501] According to the present invention, a neural network can be trained using at least one of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and semi-supervised learning. Training of a neural network is aimed at minimizing output errors. Training of a neural network involves repeatedly inputting training data into a neural network, calculating the output of the neural network and the target error for the training data, and backpropagating the error of the neural network from the output layer of the neural network toward the input layer in a direction to reduce the error, thereby updating the weights of each node of the neural network.
[0502] According to the present invention, in the case of supervised learning, training data with correct answers labeled for each training data is used (i.e., labeled training data), whereas in the case of unsupervised learning, the correct answers may not be labeled for each training data. That is, for example, in the case of supervised learning for data classification, the training data may be data in which categories are labeled for each training data. The labeled training data is input to a neural network, and an error can be calculated by comparing the output (category) of the neural network with the labels of the training data.
[0503] As another example, in unsupervised learning for data classification, an error can be calculated by comparing the input training data with the neural network output. The calculated error is backpropagated through the neural network (i.e., from the output layer to the input layer), and the connection weights of each node in each layer of the neural network can be updated based on this backpropagation. The amount of change in the connection weights of each node can be determined by the learning rate.
[0504] According to the present invention, the neural network's calculations on input data and backpropagation of errors can constitute a learning cycle (epoch). The learning rate can be applied differently depending on the number of iterations of the neural network's learning cycle. For example, a high learning rate can be used early in the neural network's training process to quickly achieve a certain level of performance, thereby increasing efficiency. A lower learning rate can be used later in the training process to increase accuracy.
[0505] According to the present invention, in learning a neural network, learning data may generally be a subset of actual data (i.e., data to be processed using a learned neural network), and therefore, a learning cycle may exist in which errors for the learning data decrease but errors for the actual data increase.
[0506] According to the present invention, overfitting is a phenomenon in which excessive training on training data leads to increased errors in actual data. For example, a neural network trained on yellow cats and then fails to recognize cats of any color other than yellow could be a form of overfitting.
[0507] According to the present invention, overfitting can increase errors in AI algorithms. Various optimization methods can be used to prevent overfitting. Furthermore, methods such as increasing the training data, regularization, or dropout, which omits some nodes from the network during the learning process, can be applied to prevent overfitting.
[0508] According to the present invention, the terms computational model, neural network, network function, and neural network may be used interchangeably. (Hereinafter, they are collectively referred to as neural networks.) The data structure may include a neural network. And the data structure including the neural network may be stored in a computer-readable medium. The data structure including the neural network may also include data input to the neural network, weights of the neural network, hyperparameters of the neural network, data obtained from the neural network, activation functions associated with each node or layer of the neural network, and a loss function for learning the neural network.
[0509] According to the present invention, a data structure including a neural network may include any of the components described above. That is, the data structure including a neural network may be configured to include all or any combination of data input to the neural network, weights of the neural network, hyperparameters of the neural network, data obtained from the neural network, activation functions associated with each node or layer of the neural network, and loss functions for training the neural network. In addition to the aforementioned components, the data structure including a neural network may include any other information that determines the characteristics of the neural network.
[0510] According to the present invention, the data structure may include all forms of data used or generated in the computational process of a neural network, and is not limited to the aforementioned. The computer-readable medium may include a computer-readable recording medium and / or a computer-readable transmission medium. The neural network may be composed of a set of interconnected computational units, which may generally be referred to as nodes. These nodes may also be referred to as neurons. The neural network is composed of at least one node.
[0511] According to the present invention, the artificial intelligence model (234-2) can be trained to receive at least one of location information (20-2), personal information (30-2), and facility environment information (40-2) and output facility control information (50-2). For example, there is a case where the artificial intelligence model (234-2) receives personal information (30-2) of a user who has reserved a specific service of an on-site facility (500-2) and location information (20-2) including information that the user has arrived at the entrance of the on-site facility (500-2). In this case, the artificial intelligence model (234-2) can be trained to output facility control information (50-2), which is information related to controlling the entrance door of the on-site facility (500-2). In addition, the artificial intelligence model (234-2) can be trained to output facility control information (50-2), which is information related to the location information of the parking lot closest to the place where the reservation service is provided by the user terminal (100-2). Specifically, the processor unit (233-2) of the head device (230-2) can control the facility control information (50-2) output by the artificial intelligence model (234-2) to be displayed on the display of the user terminal (100-2).
[0512] Placement of node devices and head devices
[0513] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one node device (220-2) may be placed at a predetermined distance inside or outside the field facility (500-2). However, the present invention is not limited to the field facility control infrastructure (10-2) utilizing an edge AI system in which the distance between at least one node device (220-2) is predetermined, and it is not excluded that at least one node device (220-2) may be placed at different distances from each other.
[0514] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the head devices (230-2) may be placed at a certain distance inside or outside the field facility (500-2). In addition, each head device (230-2) may be placed so as to be able to communicate with a certain number of node devices (220-2). However, the present invention is not limited to the facility control infrastructure (10-2) utilizing the edge AI system in which the distance between the head devices (230-2) is constant, and it is not excluded that the head devices (230-2) may be installed at different distances from each other. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the facility control infrastructure (10-2) utilizing the edge AI system in which the number of node devices (220-2) with which each head device (230-2) can communicate is constant.

[0527] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 15b, a field facility control method (70-2) utilizing at least one edge AI system and an integrated control server according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
