Air conditioning damper device installed in an opening in an indoor space

[0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioning damper device installed in an opening of an indoor space, and more particularly, to an air conditioning technology that provides an air conditioning damper device installed in an opening provided at the boundary between an indoor space and an outdoor space, such as a door or window, thereby creating a pleasant air quality in an indoor space.

[0002] Recently, the Ministry of Environment has been making efforts to improve indoor air quality by strengthening indoor fine dust standards to manage the health of the public, revising the subordinate statutes of the 'Indoor Air Quality Management Act' to strengthen the management standards for indoor pollutants with high human hazards, such as fine dust and radon, and preparing amendments to the 'Enforcement Decree of the Indoor Air Quality Management Act' and the enforcement regulations of the same act.

[0003] In general, air conditioning means controlling the temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and average flow rate of indoor air to suit the purpose of the indoor space and excluding dust, harmful gases, etc., and maintaining the temperature of the indoor space at an appropriate level by providing cold air for cooling in the summer and warm air for heating in the winter.

[0004] This type of air conditioning is broadly divided into comfort air conditioning, which provides a comfortable environment for people indoors, and industrial air conditioning, which maintains conditions suitable for handling items and processing them in indoor spaces. In particular, when manufacturing peninsulas or displays or storing communication equipment, air conditioning in indoor spaces has a huge impact on product yield and creating a smooth communication environment.

[0005] Typically, air conditioning ducts are installed for air conditioning, and dampers are installed in these ducts to control the flow of air. These dampers, as disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0423334, often include a housing arranged parallel to one side of the air conditioner's intake, a plurality of blades rotatably installed inside the housing, and a driving device for rotating these blades. However, the air conditioning ducts disclosed in the above-mentioned prior art simply perform the function of introducing outdoor air into an indoor space to promote ventilation, and thus have limitations in that they cannot significantly improve the air quality of an indoor space or achieve carbon neutrality by saving energy while removing pollutants contained in the outdoor air and then supplying purified air to the indoor space, thereby improving the air quality of the indoor space through the provision of purified air.

[0006] Accordingly, the present invention aims to provide an air conditioning technology that creates pleasant air quality in an indoor space by providing an air conditioning damper device installed in an opening provided at the boundary between an indoor space and an outdoor space, such as a door or window.

[0007] In addition, another purpose of the present invention is to achieve carbon neutrality by maximizing energy saving efficiency in creating pleasant air quality in indoor spaces.

[0013] In addition, it is preferable that the above-described damper module and the above-described dust collection module use a bellows having a plurality of folded portions as a connecting tube unit so that the bellows overlap or unfold within a critical range according to the opening and closing operation of the opening by the opening and closing means.

[0015] In addition, it is preferable that the connection unit including at least one of the first connection unit and the second connection unit described above further include a sensor module that senses the concentration and temperature of fine dust in the outside air flowing in through the damper module.

[0016] In addition, the above-described control unit preferably measures the concentration of fine dust contained in the outside air introduced through the damper module by the sensor module, and if the measured concentration of fine dust is below the threshold concentration, even if the blade of the damper module is detected to be rotated in the open direction by the motor, it is preferable not to send a power supply command to the dust collection module.

Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] The present invention relates to an air conditioning damper device installed in an opening (10) of an indoor space, and more specifically, to an air conditioning technology that creates a pleasant air quality in an indoor space by providing an air conditioning damper device installed in an opening (10) provided at the boundary between an indoor space and an outdoor space, such as a door or a window, and further, to realize carbon neutrality by maximizing energy saving efficiency in creating a pleasant air quality in an indoor space.

[0034] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings, and multiple drawings may be simultaneously referenced to explain one technical feature and components constituting the invention, and in the following description, some components are omitted or excessively enlarged or reduced in order to explain the functions of each component of the present invention, but it should be understood that the depicted details do not limit the technical features and scope of rights of the present invention.

[0035] In order to achieve the above purpose, an air conditioning damper device installed in an opening (10) of an indoor space, which is implemented as a computing device including one or more processors described in the present invention and one or more memories for storing commands executable by the processor, includes the following main components.

[0036] As an example, the present invention includes an opening (10) in which one area of ​​the boundary area between an indoor space and an outdoor space is open for the purpose of ventilation or passage. In this case, the above-mentioned opening (10) may be understood as a concept of an area for installing a door or window that serves as the boundary between an indoor space and an outdoor space, and the present invention primarily aims to use an existing opening (10) provided in an indoor space as an installation area in which the device of the present invention is installed.

[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, an opening (10) may be provided in one area of ​​a non-load-bearing wall of an indoor space or an outdoor space for installation of the device of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] Next, the present invention includes an opening / closing means (20) that is coupled to at least one side of the opening (10) to open or close the opening (10).

[0039] As an example, if the opening (10) in which the device of the present invention is installed is a door installation area, the above-described opening / closing means (20) may be a door.

[0040] As another embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, if the opening (10') in which the device of the present invention is installed is a window installation area, the above-described opening / closing means (20') can be a window.

[0041] Meanwhile, one area of ​​the opening / closing means (20) includes a damper module (30) that allows outside air from the outdoor space to flow into the indoor space.

[0042] At this time, the above-described damper module (30) can be understood as a concept of a device that stops or controls the flow of air, and can largely include a housing (31), a blade (32), and a motor (34) that drives the blade (32).

[0043] Continuing with a more specific description with reference to FIG. 3, the present invention includes a box-shaped housing (31) in which both sides corresponding to the front and rear sides are open (at this time, the front side may be located in an indoor space, and the rear side may be located in an outdoor space) as the housing (31) of the damper module (30). It can be understood that the reason both sides of the housing (31) are open is to form an inflow path for external air flowing in from an outdoor space.

[0044] In addition, the side surface (specifically, the inner surface) of the housing (31) includes a plurality of blades (32) that are supported to be rotatably in both directions and are axially coupled at preset intervals. These blades (32) can be rotated, for example, within a range of 0 to 110 degrees around the rotation axis (33), thereby adjusting the angle relative to the housing (31), and thereby widening or narrowing the space through which outside air can be introduced, thereby controlling the amount of outside air introduced.

[0045] In addition, the blade (32) described above is coupled to the rotation axis (33) as described above, and is driven to rotate at a predetermined angle to control the amount of outside air introduced. In order to drive the blade (32), a motor (34) is included in the present invention to provide rotational driving force to the blade (32).

[0046] That is, in the present invention, such a motor (34) is included, so that automatic opening and closing operation of the blade (32) can be performed through the control unit described later.

[0047] Meanwhile, although not explicitly shown in FIG. 3, in another embodiment of the present invention, a manual operation unit connected to the rotation axis (33) of the blade (32) may be further included in the damper module (30), so that when a user directly rotates the manual operation unit, the opening / closing angle of the blade (32) may be adjusted, thereby enabling manual operation of the blade (32) in an emergency.

[0048] In addition, as described above, the present invention aims to improve the air quality of an indoor space by introducing outdoor air from an outdoor space into an indoor space using a damper module (30). As a preferred embodiment for achieving this purpose, an intake fan (40) may be included that is installed adjacent to the front of the housing (31) of the aforementioned damper module (30) to intake outdoor air existing in the outdoor space.

[0049] That is, in the present invention, since the above-described intake fan (40) is further included as a component of the damper module (30), the performance of drawing outside air existing in the outdoor space into the indoor space can be maximized.

[0050] In addition, the above-described damper module (30) is installed so as to be interconnected with the dust collection module (50) installed in the indoor space by a connection pipe unit (C), as illustrated in FIG. 4, so that the outside air introduced by the damper module (30) is collected by the dust collection module (50) and then supplied to the indoor space, thereby preventing pollutants included in the outside air from being introduced directly into the indoor space and worsening the air quality of the indoor space, and supplying purified outside air to the indoor space, thereby promoting improvement of the air quality of the indoor space.

[0051] At this time, the above-described dust collection module (50) may include a housing (51) having a structure in which both sides are open, a plurality of dust collection electrode parts (52) installed inside the housing (51), and a discharge electrode part (53) that, when power is supplied from an MPS (Micro Pulse System) power supply device, applies a negative voltage to charge surrounding pollutants into ions with a negative charge, thereby capturing the pollutants toward the dust collection electrode.

[0052] This dust collection module (50) may be a first dust collection module (50) and a second dust collection module (50) that have differences in the arrangement structure of the dust collection electrode section (52) and the discharge electrode section (53), or a dust collection module (50) having a composite structure in which both the first dust collection module (50) and the second dust collection module (50) are used may be used. A more specific description thereof will be provided with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

[0053] Specifically, in the case of the first dust collecting module (50), a plurality of unit dust collecting electrodes constituting the dust collecting electrode section (52) are provided as cylindrical dust collecting electrodes and can be arranged in a honeycomb structure ((A) of FIG. 8)) within the housing (51). According to this arrangement structure of the unit dust collecting electrodes, compared to a conventional flat-plate type dust collecting electrode, a wider dust collecting area can be secured based on the same volume size conditions, and the flat-plate type dust collecting electrode is advantageous in that it can prevent a reversal phenomenon due to instability in the electromagnetic field gap of a high-voltage discharge.

[0054] In addition, in the first dust collection module (50), as shown in (A) of FIG. 7 and (A) of FIG. 8, a plurality of unit discharge electrodes constituting the discharge electrode portion (53, 53') are provided as bar-shaped discharge electrodes and are inserted and installed in the inner center of the unit dust collection electrode. Specifically, the unit discharge electrode described above is applied with a negative (-) voltage by the MPS power supply described above, and when air containing pollutants flows into the inside of the dust collection electrode, corona discharge occurs to charge the dust particles with a (-) potential and ionize them, so that the pollutants move to the dust collection electrode by the Coulomb force, thereby enabling the capture of the pollutants.

[0055] Meanwhile, the present invention may include a fixing unit (530, 530') installed on one open side or both open sides of a housing (51, 51') as a configuration for fixing the unit discharge electrode described above to one central region of the inner part of the unit dust collecting electrode, and the shape of this fixing unit (530, 530') is in the shape of a grid plate so as to secure an air flow path of the dust collecting section described above, and at the same time, to fix the unit discharge electrode to one central region of the unit dust collecting electrode.

[0056] As an example, although not shown in the attached drawings, the fixed unit (530, 530') is provided with a receiving groove that can receive one end or both ends of the unit discharge unit, so that the installation position thereof can be fixed by fitting one end or both ends of the unit discharge unit into the receiving groove.

[0057] Of course, in another embodiment of the present invention, the fixed units (530, 530') may be provided on both the front and rear sides of the housing (51, 51'), and then both ends of the unit discharge electrodes may be connected with elastic members such as springs, so that the unit discharge electrodes and the fixed units (530, 530') can be elastically supported with each other.

[0058] However, in this case, in the present invention, as a configuration for facilitating the combination of the unit discharge electrode and the elastic member, it is possible to form a hook-shaped ring portion by bending both ends of the unit discharge electrode, and to include a holding portion in the elastic member that can accommodate the ring portion, thereby forming a detachable combination with the fixed unit (530, 530').

[0059] That is, through this, the convenience of separating or recombining the unit discharge electrode requiring maintenance or cleaning from the fixed unit (530, 530') and the unit dust collecting electrode can be increased.

[0060] Next, in the present invention, as a second dust collecting module (50), a plurality of unit dust collecting electrodes constituting the dust collecting electrode section (52') are provided as plate-shaped dust collecting electrodes, and a plurality of unit discharge electrodes constituting the discharge electrode section (53') are provided as bar-shaped discharge electrodes, so that a dust collecting module (50) having a structure in which the unit dust collecting electrodes and the unit discharge electrodes are arranged in a cross-like manner can be used, as shown in (B) of FIG. 7 and (B) of FIG. 8.

[0061] Meanwhile, in the present invention, a power supply line is formed between the aforementioned dust collection module (50) and the MPS power supply device so that the micropulse voltage applied by the MPS power supply device is supplied to the dust collection module (50).

[0062] Specifically, according to the MPS-based power supply, it is possible to operate at low power of less than 60% of the power consumption of existing electric dust collectors by using the charging technology of the dust collection load through frequency duty control, and it is possible to maintain high dust collection efficiency, such as showing a fine dust removal efficiency of more than 95% even at a flow rate of 8 m / sec. In addition, since it is possible to actively vary according to an appropriate flow rate through duty cycle control, it can induce a reduction in the amount of ozone generated, and thus it can function to solve the problem of generating a large amount of ozone when operating existing dust collectors.

[0063] In addition, as a more preferable embodiment, the present invention can utilize a resonant converter circuit having a boost circuit, wherein the resonant converter is composed of two switches, each of a resonant inductor, a resonant capacitor, and a transformer, and the output terminal includes four diodes and capacitors to boost the voltage by four times, and through this boost circuit, the internal pressure stress of the circuit elements is reduced while a higher boost is possible than in the existing resonant converter, thereby further maximizing the energy saving efficiency.

[0064] In addition, the present invention may include a control unit that monitors the operating status of the dust collection module (50) and controls the operation of the dust collection module (50) according to a preset control signal or a control signal received from a central control center. At this time, the above-described control unit may be, for example, a resonance controller that can vary the switching frequency of the converter through a PLC (Power line communication) or an external pin input. Through this, when an appropriate signal is applied from the outside, the high voltage and low voltage of the dust collection module (50) can be switched at a low speed. Consequently, in the present invention, the high voltage power supply terminal is controlled based on the MPS power supply so that the voltage applied to the dust collection module (50) is switched at a constant frequency and duty, thereby functioning to adjust the current in real time. Therefore, compared to a conventional general electric dust collector, the dust collection efficiency is maintained while power consumption is greatly reduced, thereby helping to realize carbon neutrality.

[0065] Meanwhile, in the present invention, as described above, the first dust collection module (50) and the second dust collection module (50) can be used together as illustrated in (C) of FIG. 7. In this case, the first dust collection module (50) is arranged in the area closest to the damper module (30) into which outside air, which is likely to contain a large number of pollutants, is introduced, so that primary dust collection is performed by the first dust collection module (50), and then the second dust collection module (50) is arranged in front of where the outside air collected by the first dust collection module (50) is discharged, so that secondary dust collection is performed by the second dust collection treatment module.

[0066] At this time, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to achieve dust collection processing based on different power sources for the first dust collection module (50) and the second dust collection module (50). For example, the first dust collection module (50) is supplied with power by an MPS power supply, and the second dust collection module (50) is supplied with a different type of power source that generates relatively less ozone than the MPS power supply.

[0067] That is, by using the combined first dust collection module (50) and second dust collection module (50), a composite dust collection module (50) including a first dust collection module (50) having a cylindrical dust collection electrode having a possibility of generating ozone but excellent dust collection efficiency and a second dust collection module (50) having a relatively low possibility of generating ozone is implemented, thereby significantly reducing the amount of ozone generated in an indoor space, thereby enabling indoor use of a dust collection facility based on the principle of plasma electrostatic precipitation.

[0068] Preferably, the first dust collection module (50) and the second dust collection module (50) described above can be accommodated in a dedicated housing, and their installation area can be partitioned by a separate sub-housing. In addition, although not specified in the attached drawing, the configuration other than the connection structure for supplying power to the dust collection electrode unit (52') and the discharge electrode unit (53') included in the first dust collection module (50) and the second dust collection module (50) may further include an insulator configuration referred to as an insulator for insulation.

[0069] Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the first dust collection module (50) and the second dust collection module (50) described above are used in combination or only the first dust collection module (50) is used, a nano-catalyst filter with a photocatalyst applied thereto may be further included in the area between the first dust collection module (50) and the second dust collection module (50) or in the vicinity of the first dust collection module (50), and when a micropulse voltage is applied to the first dust collection module (50), the photocatalyst of the nano-catalyst filter may be activated by light in the ultraviolet region generated, thereby improving the efficiency of removing pollutants and providing a bacteria removal effect, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0070] Meanwhile, for a more specific explanation of an installation example of a connecting pipe unit (C) connecting the aforementioned damper module (30) and dust collection module (50), referring simultaneously to FIGS. 5 and 6, the damper module (30) and dust collection module (50) can use a bellows having a plurality of folded portions as a connecting pipe unit (C) so that the bellows can be overlapped or expanded within a critical range according to the opening and closing operation of the opening (10) by the opening and closing means (20).

[0071] As an example, FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate installation examples of the present invention in a case where the opening (10) is a door installation area and the opening / closing means (20) is a door. In FIG. 5A, an example can be seen in which the door is closed and the connecting pipe unit (C) connecting the damper module (30) and the dust collection module (50) is unfolded, and in FIG. 5B, an example can be seen in which the door is open and the connecting pipe unit (C) connecting the damper module (30) and the dust collection module (50) is overlapped.

[0072] According to this installation structure, it is possible to optimize the installation space without interfering with the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing means (20), and to improve the air quality of the indoor space without worrying about the performance degradation of the damper module (30) and the dust collection module (50).

[0073] Referring to FIG. 6 as another embodiment, FIG. 6 illustrates an installation example of the present invention in a case where the opening (10') is a window installation area and the opening / closing means (20') is a window.

[0074] As shown in Fig. 6, when the opening (10') is a window installation area, the connection unit (C) of the present invention is installed so that a damper module (30') is installed in the window installation area, and then one end of the connection unit (C) is connected to the damper module (30'), and the other end of the connection unit (C) is connected to a dust collection module (50') located adjacent to the window area in an indoor space. When the opening (10') is a window area, the damper module (30) can be installed in a part of the window area (for example, one of the two windows).

[0075] Preferably, the window area in which the damper module (30') is installed may be a hopper window (20') in which a hinge for opening and closing operation is provided at the bottom of the window frame and may be opened at a predetermined angle at the top side of the window frame, and accordingly, a part of the connecting pipe unit (C) may be overlapped by the opening operation of the hopper window (20') and the connecting pipe unit (C) may be unfolded by the closing operation of the hopper window (20').

[0076] Meanwhile, as a more preferable embodiment of the device mentioned in the present invention, the present invention may further include a control unit that controls the operation of the damper module (30) and the dust collection module (50).

[0077] At this time, the control unit described above may function to transmit a power supply command to the dust collection module (50) through a power supply means including an MPS power supply device when it is detected that the blade (32) of the damper module (30) is driven to rotate in the open direction by the motor (34), as shown in the flow chart in FIG. 10, and may function to transmit a power supply cutoff command to the dust collection module (50) when it is detected that the blade of the damper module (30) is driven to rotate in the closed direction by the motor (34) and the blade (32) is completely closed, thereby cutting off the supply of outside air to the indoor space.

[0078] That is, in the present invention, power is supplied to the dust collection module (50) only when it is detected that outside air is supplied to the indoor space by the damper module (30), thereby preventing energy waste due to the dust collection module (50) operating in an environment where outside air is not supplied, thereby realizing the goal of carbon neutrality.

[0079] On the other hand, referring to FIG. 9 as another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the present invention, a cooling module (60) including a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve is further included in the area between the damper module (30) and the dust collection module (50), thereby cooling the outside air introduced by the damper module (30), thereby supplying the cooled outside air to the indoor space.

[0080] Specifically, the compressor described above functions to compress the refrigerant, and the condenser functions to condense the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor by cooling it with water or air. Furthermore, the expansion valve functions to send an appropriate amount of liquid refrigerant to the low-pressure evaporator, and the high-pressure refrigerant rapidly transforms into low-temperature, low-pressure vapor as it passes through the expansion valve. Furthermore, the evaporator allows the refrigerant to obtain heat from the surroundings and evaporate, thereby lowering the surrounding temperature.

[0081] At this time, the compressor and condenser may be installed outdoors, and the evaporator may be installed indoors and positioned between the aforementioned damper module (30) and dust collection module (50). This evaporator may have a structure in which it is connected to the compressor and condenser installed outdoors through an expansion valve, which is a type of refrigerant pipe, so that it can function to supply cold air generated according to the flow of refrigerant to the indoor space.

[0082] In addition, as the cooling module (60) described above is further included, the connection unit (C) mentioned in the present invention may be provided with a first connection unit (C1) connecting the damper module (30) and the cooling module (60), and a second connection unit (C2) connecting the cooling module (60) and the dust collection module (50), and both the first connection unit (C1) and the second connection unit (C2) described above may be provided with a bellows having a plurality of wrinkled portions.

[0083] In addition, although not explicitly shown in the attached drawing, the connection unit (C) including at least one of the first connection unit (C) and the second connection unit (C) described above may further include a sensor module for sensing the concentration and temperature of fine dust in the outside air flowing in through the damper module (30).

[0084] Accordingly, the control unit of the present invention measures the concentration of fine dust contained in the outside air introduced through the damper module (30) by the sensor module, and when the measured concentration of fine dust is below the threshold concentration (e.g., 15 micrograms per cubic meter), even if it is detected that the blade (32) of the damper module (30) is driven to rotate in the open direction by the motor (34), a power supply command to the dust collection module (50) may not be sent.

[0085] That is, if the fine dust concentration measured by the sensor module meets the fine dust good standard according to the atmospheric environment standard, the atmospheric environment quality is good even without performing separate dust collection treatment by the dust collection module (50), so that the outside air can simply pass through the dust collection module (50) to introduce fresh air into the indoor space, and energy consumption can be reduced due to the dust collection module (50) not being operated.

[0086] At this time, the control unit continuously monitors the fine dust concentration measured by the sensor module, and when the fine dust concentration is determined to exceed a threshold concentration or is predicted to exceed the threshold concentration (i.e., when a trend of gradual increase in the fine dust concentration is observed for a threshold time, etc.), the control unit may function to send a power supply command to the dust collection module (50) to the MPS power supply unit, or conversely, when the fine dust concentration exceeds the threshold concentration and then decreases below the threshold concentration, the control unit may function to send a power advanced cut-off command to the dust collection module (50) to the MPS power supply unit, and the workflow of this control unit can be seen with reference to FIG. 11.

[0087] Of course, although not specified in the attached drawing, in another embodiment of the present invention, a vinyl chloride filter, which is a dust collecting filter that does not require power and can be reused by washing, may be additionally installed near the dust collecting module (50), so that dust collection by the vinyl chloride filter can be performed regardless of whether the dust collecting module (50) is operated, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0088] Meanwhile, the above-described control unit measures the temperature of the outside air introduced through the damper module (30) by the sensor module, and when the measured temperature exceeds the critical reference temperature, transmits a power supply command to the cooling module (60) so that the outside air cooled by the cooling module (60) is supplied to the indoor space. The workflow of this control unit is schematically illustrated in FIG. 12.

[0089] As an example, in the present invention, when the set temperature of the indoor space and the current temperature of the indoor space are, for example, 20 degrees, and the temperature of the outside air flowing in from the outdoor space is 25 degrees, the control unit can send a power supply command to a power supply means that supplies power to the cooling module (60), thereby cooling the outside air having a temperature value higher than the set temperature of the indoor space.

[0090] As an opposite example, when the set temperature of the indoor space is, for example, 20 degrees, the current temperature of the indoor space is 22 degrees, and the temperature of the outside air flowing in from the outdoor space is 18 degrees, the control unit can contribute to lowering the temperature of the indoor space to the set temperature by allowing outside air having a temperature value lower than the temperature of the indoor space to flow into the indoor space without separate temperature control, and at this time, the cooling module (60) is only used as a path for the outside air to flow in, so that energy savings can be achieved by not driving the cooling module (60), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0091] Although the embodiments have been described with limited examples and drawings, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made from the above description.

[0092] Next, referring to FIG. 13, FIG. 13 illustrates an example of the internal configuration of a computing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and in the following description, descriptions of unnecessary embodiments that overlap with the descriptions of FIGS. 1 to 12 described above will be omitted.

For example, the input / output subsystem (11400) can include a controller for coupling peripheral devices such as a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, a printer, or, as needed, a touchscreen or sensor to the peripheral interface (11300). In another aspect, the input / output peripheral devices can be coupled to the peripheral interface (11300) without going through the input / output subsystem (11400).

[0098] The power circuit (11500) may supply power to all or part of the components of the terminal. For example, the power circuit (11500) may include a power management system, one or more power sources such as a battery or alternating current (AC), a charging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator, or any other components for power generation, management, and distribution.

Components that can be included in the computing device (10000) may be implemented as hardware including one or more signal processing or application-specific integrated circuits, software, or a combination of both hardware and software.

[0104] Additionally, the processing device may access, store, manipulate, process, and generate data in response to the execution of software. For ease of understanding, the processing device is sometimes described as being used alone; however, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the processing device may include multiple processing elements and / or multiple types of processing elements. For example, the processing device may include multiple processors, or a processor and a controller. Other processing configurations, such as parallel processors, are also possible.

[0105] Software may include computer programs, codes, instructions, or a combination of one or more of these, which may configure a processing device to perform a desired operation or may, independently or collectively, command the processing device. The software and / or data may be permanently or temporarily embodied in any type of machine, component, physical device, virtual equipment, computer storage medium, or device for interpretation by the processing device or for providing instructions or data to the processing device. The software may also be distributed across network-connected computing devices and stored or executed in a distributed manner.
