Accordingly, the embodiments are not limited to the specific disclosed form, and the scope of this specification includes modifications, equivalents, or alternatives that fall within the technical concept.
[0036] Although terms such as "first" or "second" may be used to describe various components, these terms should be interpreted solely to distinguish one component from another.

[0037] Additionally, terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should not be interpreted ideally or excessively unless explicitly and specifically defined otherwise. In certain cases, terms may be arbitrarily selected by the applicant, in which case their meanings will be described in detail in the relevant description. Therefore, the terms used in this disclosure should be defined based on their meaning and the overall content of this disclosure, rather than simply their names.
[0038] When it is said that a component is "connected" to another component, it should be understood that it may be directly connected or connected to that other component, but there may also be other components in between.
[0039] The terms used in the examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting.

In this specification, terms such as "comprise" or "have" are intended to indicate the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof described in the specification, but should be understood to not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
[0040] Throughout this specification, when a part is said to “include” a certain component, this does not mean that other components may be included, but rather that other components may be excluded, unless specifically stated otherwise. Furthermore, the singular forms used herein also include plural forms unless specifically stated otherwise. Furthermore, the expression “at least one of a, b, and c” used throughout this specification can encompass “a alone,” “b alone,” “c alone,” “a and b,” “a and c,” “b and c,” or “all of a, b, and c.”
[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the embodiments pertain.

Furthermore, the volume of the audio alarm may vary depending on the type of abnormal condition that has occurred.
[0116] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, if the abnormal state that has occurred is an abnormal environment state or an abnormal display state, the generated sound alarm may have a minimum volume of the first decibel. If the abnormal state that has occurred is an abnormal security state, the generated sound alarm may have a volume of the second decibel, which is 1.5 times the first decibel. If the abnormal state that has occurred is an abnormal facility state or an abnormal safety state, the generated sound alarm may have a volume of the third decibel, which is twice the second decibel. By setting the volume of the sound alarm differently depending on the type of the abnormal state that has occurred, the user of the space management system device (100) may have a different level of concentration on the provided sound alarm, thereby enhancing awareness of an emergency situation.
[0117] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the alarm may be generated as a vibration alarm with a preset frequency or number of vibrations, or as an icon among preset icons.

[0122] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the space management system device (100) can control the operation of an electronic device controllable by the space management system device (100) to resolve the abnormal condition by changing the state of the space (200), separately from providing an alarm containing information about the abnormal condition to an external electronic device (500).
[0123] Specifically, the space management system device (100) can control the operation of fire alarms, sprinklers, lights, etc., which can be controlled by the space management system device (100), depending on the type of abnormal facility state, in order to resolve the abnormal facility state.

[0130] FIG. 4a is a diagram illustrating an operation of providing an alarm including information on an abnormal facility condition due to a water leak according to embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 4b is a diagram illustrating an operation of determining whether an abnormal environmental condition has occurred due to a change in fine dust concentration according to embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 4c is a diagram illustrating an operation of providing an alarm including information on an abnormal security condition due to an unauthorized intrusion from outside according to embodiments of the present invention.
[0131] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4A, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a space management system device (100) can capture a space (400) through a camera (110) to obtain a space image. Based on the obtained space image, the space management system (100) can obtain information that a water leak (410) has occurred in the space (400). The space management system (100) can determine that an abnormal facility condition has occurred based on a difference in the obtained space information compared to a pre-set reference state (a state in which no water leak has occurred). The space management system device (100) can generate a text alarm (420) including information about the abnormal facility condition, such as “A water leak has been detected near the balcony of [Gongdeokjeom].” The space management system (100) can provide the generated text alarm (420) to a pre-registered external electronic device (500).
[0132] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4B, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the space management system device (100) can obtain the fine dust concentration (450) of the space (430) through the sensing device (440). The space management system device (100) can compare the obtained fine dust concentration (450) with a preset reference state (fine dust concentration below a certain value) and determine that an abnormal environmental condition has occurred when the obtained fine dust concentration is determined to be higher than the reference state. The space management system device (100) can generate a text alarm, a vibration alarm, an audio alarm, etc. containing information about the abnormal environmental condition and provide the same to a pre-registered external electronic device (500). In addition, the space management system device (100) can control the operation of an air purifier included in the space (200) to maintain the fine dust concentration of the space (200) below the reference state unmanned without separate human management. Additionally, the space management system device (100) can control the operation of the air purifier within the space (200) in response to a control signal obtained from an external electronic device (500).
[0133] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4C, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the space management system device (100) can obtain information that an unauthorized intrusion has occurred in the space (460) based on a space image obtained by photographing the space (460) through a camera (110). The space management system device (100) can determine that an abnormal security state has occurred when the obtained space information is different from a pre-set reference state (a state in which no unauthorized intrusion has occurred). The space management system device (100) can provide a text (480) including information about the abnormal security state, for example, a text alarm (480) including “suspected unauthorized entry,” to a pre-registered external electronic device (500).
[0134] Additionally, the space management system device (100) can provide an alarm containing information on an abnormal security status that an unauthorized intrusion has occurred from outside into the space (460) to a pre-registered security company or government office, for example, a police station.
[0135] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method for controlling a robot to resolve an abnormal display state according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0136] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 5, a space (200) managed unmanned by a space management system device (100) may include a plurality of spaces. In this case, the plurality of spaces may refer to spaces that exist in physically separate locations. The space management system device (100) may acquire a plurality of pieces of space information through a camera or sensing device included in each of the plurality of spaces. The space management system device (100) may control the operation of an electronic device located in each of the plurality of spaces and controllable by the space management system device (100), thereby managing the status of the plurality of spaces.
[0137] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the space management system device (100) can control a robot. The robot controlled by the space management system device (100) is a mobile robot, which may include wheels, rollers, or rollers. Furthermore, the robot may refer to a walking robot, such as a two-legged or four-legged robot, but is not limited to either.
[0138] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the robot controlled by the space management system device (100) may be a robot equipped with a means to hold a specific object, transport a specific object, or change its location or arrangement.
[0139] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the space management system device (100) may include a step of controlling a robot to sequentially visit a plurality of spaces and resolve the abnormal display state when an abnormal display state occurs in step S200. In this case, the step of controlling a robot to resolve the abnormal display state may be performed after step S400 of providing an alarm including information about the abnormal display state to an external electronic device (500) as well as after step S200.
[0140] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of controlling one robot may include a step (S410) of controlling one robot to sequentially visit a plurality of spaces and change the positions and arrangements of objects when an abnormal display state occurs due to a difference in the positions or arrangements of objects included in a space (200) from the reference positions or arrangements of objects included in a reference display state. In step S410, the space management system device (100) may control one robot to sequentially visit a plurality of spaces and change the positions or arrangements of each of the plurality of objects located in each of the plurality of spaces to match the reference positions or arrangements included in the reference display state.
[0141] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of controlling one robot may include a step (S420) of controlling one robot to sequentially visit a plurality of spaces and replenish objects so that the number of objects becomes equal to the reference number when the abnormal display state occurs because the number of objects included in the space (200) is less than the reference number of objects included in the reference display state. In step S420, the space management system device (100) may control one robot to sequentially visit the plurality of spaces and replenish objects to each of the plurality of spaces so that the number of objects located in each of the plurality of spaces becomes equal to the reference number included in the reference display state. Accordingly, one robot may of course include a transport means for transporting the objects.
[0142] At this time, by setting the time of visiting multiple spaces so that it does not overlap, the space management system device (100) can maintain the positions or arrangements of multiple objects included in each of the multiple spaces in a standard display state with only one robot. In addition, the space management system device (100) can maintain the number of objects included in each of the multiple spaces to be the same as the standard number included in the standard display state with only one robot. Accordingly, the display state of each of the multiple spaces can be maintained unmanned and consistently. At this time, the time of visiting the multiple spaces can be preset in consideration of the moving speed of one robot, the position of each of the multiple spaces, the distance between the space visited by one robot and the adjacent space to be visited next, etc.
[0143] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the step of controlling one robot may include a step (S430) of controlling one robot to sequentially visit a plurality of spaces to change the positions and arrangements of objects, and then to replenish objects so that the number of objects becomes equal to the reference number, when an abnormal display state occurs because the positions and arrangements of objects included in a space (200) are different from the reference positions and arrangements of objects included in a reference display state and the number of objects included in the space (200) is less than the reference number of objects included in the reference display state.
[0144] In step S430, the space management system device (100) may first control a robot to sequentially visit each of a plurality of spaces and change the state so that the positions and arrangements of objects contained in each space match the reference display state, and then control a robot to sequentially visit each of a plurality of spaces and replenish objects so that the number of objects contained in each space matches the number of objects in the reference display state. In order for a robot to replenish the number of objects contained in each of a plurality of spaces, a robot must have the object in a transport means, and thus it may be difficult to change the position or arrangement of the object in that state. Therefore, a robot may first be controlled to change the positions and arrangements of objects disposed in each of a plurality of spaces, and then a robot loaded with objects to be replenished on a transport means may be controlled to sequentially visit each of a plurality of spaces and replenish the number of objects.
[0145] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the object may include, but is not limited to, a snack, a beverage, a book, a notebook, a dumbbell, and the like.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of controlling the operation of an electronic device controllable by a system device based on a control signal obtained from an external electronic device that has provided an alarm, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0147] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the space management system device (100) may include, after step S400 of providing an alarm generated to an external electronic device (500) to provide information on an abnormal state, a step S430 of obtaining a control signal for an electronic device controllable by the space management system device (100) from the external electronic device (500) that provided the alarm.
[0148] In step S430, the space management system device (100) can obtain a control signal for an electronic device controllable by the space management system device (100) from an external electronic device (500) through a communication interface (150).
[0149] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the space management system device (100) provides an interface (300) that includes the status of an electronic device controllable by the space management system device (100) to an external electronic device (500), and a control signal input through the interface (300) can be obtained through a communication interface (150).
[0150] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the operating method of the space management system device (100) may include a step (S510) of controlling the operation of an electronic device controllable by the space management system device (100) to resolve an abnormal state based on a control signal.
