[0115]

[0116] The following examples are provided as detailed explanations to aid understanding of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the invention. Therefore, inventions with the same functions and scope as the present invention are also within the scope of the present invention.

[0117]

[0118] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0119]

[0120] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of an indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted on next-generation mobility (10) and can be driven in interaction with the autonomous driving system (200) and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system (300) of the next-generation mobility (10).

[0121]

[0122] An indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to one embodiment of the present invention is a system for efficiently sterilizing a closed space that can be shared by multiple users. It can be installed in next-generation mobility (10) to automate the maintenance of a sanitary condition by disinfecting and sterilizing the interior and exterior. To this end, the indoor sanitation system (100) may be comprised of a combination of a mechanism for inspecting the environmental condition of the space, a mechanism for determining target environmental conditions, and a mechanism for adjusting the state within the space to the target environmental conditions.

[0123]

[0124] Next-generation mobility (10) may include vision sensors that analyze the interior and exterior through images, acoustic sensors, thermal sensors, weight sensors, pressure sensors, electrostatic sensors, radio frequency sensors that detect human movement, respiration, or heartbeats, laser sensors, humidity sensors, and gas detection sensors. These sensors can be used to detect the environmental conditions of next-generation mobility (10) and to maintain sanitary conditions.

[0125]

[0126] Additionally, the indoor sanitation system (100) can utilize the autonomous driving system (200) installed in the next-generation mobility (10) to move to a location where disinfection or sterilization can be performed when no passengers are present. Furthermore, the next-generation mobility (10) can be sterilized using a light source such as an HVAC system (300) or LED lighting, and the sterilization area can be expanded by adjusting the position, direction, and angle of the seat and handle. In this way, the indoor sanitation system (100) can adjust or utilize existing mobility components and systems.

[0127]

[0128] FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating a detailed configuration of an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include a solar sterilization unit (110), a virus removal unit (120), a touch surface sterilization unit (130), a droplet sterilization unit (140), and a sterilization service utilization unit (150), and may further include a determination unit (160).

[0129]

[0130] The solar sterilization unit (110) uses the autonomous driving system (200) to move and disinfect the exterior of the next-generation mobility (10) with solar energy. If the intensity of the sunlight is higher than a predetermined value using light sensor data, the window is opened to allow the interior to be exposed to sunlight. If the intensity of the sunlight is lower than the predetermined value, sterilization is performed using the sterilization lights installed inside, thereby disinfecting the interior and exterior of the next-generation mobility (10). At this time, the solar sterilization unit (110) moves to a location suitable for disinfection outdoors without shade, such as underground or tunnels, through the autonomous driving system (200), so that disinfection can be performed when there are no passengers.

[0131]

[0132] In addition, the solar sterilization unit (110) can adjust at least one of the position, direction, and posture of components of the next-generation mobility (10) using the light sensor data so that the sunlight is irradiated into the interior of the next-generation mobility (10). That is, the solar sterilization unit (110) can control the next-generation mobility (10) so that the parts that require sterilization and disinfection, such as the surface of the external door, handle, seat, and steering device that the user's hand frequently touches, can be exposed to the external sunlight as much as possible by controlling the movement of the mobility, opening and closing of the door, opening and closing of the window, opening and closing of the sunroof, adjusting the height or direction of the seat, adjusting the height or direction of the steering device, and controlling the posture of the mobility. At this time, the autonomous driving system (200) and the light sensor data can be used to determine whether the sunlight has moved to a sufficient position and whether sufficient sunlight for disinfection is irradiated into the interior of the mobility.

[0133]

[0134] FIG. 5 is a drawing illustrating a solar sterilization unit (110) in an indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the solar sterilization unit (110) of the indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention can selectively apply sterilization by solar light (sterilization performed by opening windows and controlling posture) and sterilization by an indoor light source (sterilization performed by controlling sterilizing lighting) depending on the intensity of the sunlight. That is, when the solar sterilization unit (110) recognizes that there is sufficient sunlight outside the next-generation mobility (10), it opens all windows to allow sufficient sunlight to be irradiated into the inside of the next-generation mobility (10). However, since sterilization by solar light is impossible at night or in rainy weather, when it is recognized that there is insufficient sunlight, such as when it is raining, it can sterilize by irradiating sterilizing light using an indoor light source.

[0135]

[0136] The virus removal unit (120) can control the HVAC system (300) to maintain the temperature and humidity of the sealed interior at preset conditions when a virus is detected inside the next-generation mobility (10), thereby suppressing the spread of the virus. Here, the virus removal unit (120) can maintain the temperature and humidity of the sealed interior at preset conditions according to the type of virus detected inside the next-generation mobility (10). That is, the virus removal unit (120) can control the HVAC system (300) so that the internal environment of the next-generation mobility (10) is adjusted to a temperature and humidity suitable for removing each virus depending on the detected virus. In addition, the virus removal unit (120) can remove the virus by irradiating light onto the internal surface of the next-generation mobility (10) where the virus is detected. That is, when a specific virus is detected on multiple surfaces inside the next-generation mobility (10), the detected virus can be removed by combining humidity, temperature, and light controls.

[0137]

[0138] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a virus removal unit (120) in an indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, research statistics show that the half-life of the coronavirus is further reduced to about 2 minutes when the temperature is approximately 21°C to 24°C and the humidity is 80%. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the virus removal unit (120) can suppress the spread of coronavirus in a closed space by controlling the HVAC system (300) to control the internal temperature to approximately 21°C to 24°C and the humidity to 80% using a humidity control device. Additionally, a disinfection light can be irradiated to the internal surface of the next-generation mobility (10) where the coronavirus has been detected using a lighting control device.

[0139]

[0140] The touch surface disinfection unit (130) can use a touch sensor to identify a recently touched surface and sterilize the surface by irradiating sterilizing light on the surface whose number of touches is greater than a threshold value. That is, the touch surface disinfection unit (130) can sterilize the interior of the next-generation mobility (10) by installing a touch sensor where the hands or feet of a user riding in the next-generation mobility (10) touch, and emitting infrared rays and ultraviolet rays of a specific wavelength toward the recently touched or frequently touched surface according to the sensor data. For example, a touch sensor can be installed on the rear panel of a seat, and when the panel is touched, the sensor can count the number of touches and generate data. If the number of touches is greater than a threshold value, the touch surface disinfection unit (130) can determine the sanitary condition of the panel and irradiate sterilizing light such as infrared rays and ultraviolet rays of a specific wavelength toward the panel to perform sterilization.

[0141]

[0142] The droplet disinfection unit (140) can control the HVAC system (300) to blow heated air toward the front of the user and exhaust disinfection vapor to the outside when it detects the user's cough or sneeze. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the droplet disinfection unit (140) in the next-generation mobility indoor hygiene system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the droplet disinfection unit (140) of the next-generation mobility indoor hygiene system (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention operates the HVAC system (300) to blow heated air toward the handle after a sensor detects when the user coughs or sneezes toward the handle, and the humidity control device can evaporate the disinfection vapor and exhaust it to the outside.

[0143]

[0144] The disinfection service utilization unit (150) moves to the installation location of the disinfection service robot using the autonomous driving system (200) and can adjust at least one of the position, direction, and posture of the next-generation mobility (10) and components so that disinfection and sterilization are performed by the disinfection service robot. Here, the disinfection service utilization unit (150) can expand the disinfection area by adjusting the posture including the position, direction, angle, and height of components including the seat and steering device.

[0145]

[0146] A disinfection service robot may be installed in a specific location, such as a parking lot or gas station, to automatically disinfect and sterilize the interior and exterior of a next-generation mobility (10). If the disinfection service user (150) determines that there is no user inside the next-generation mobility (10), the autonomous driving system (200) can move the next-generation mobility (10) to the location of the service robot, and then adjust the direction or position of the next-generation mobility (10) to disinfect and sterilize all areas. During this process, the disinfection service robot can maintain the security of the next-generation mobility (10) and activate a notification when the sanitation system operation is complete.

[0147]

[0148] The judgment unit (160) can detect that there is no person inside the next-generation mobility (10), and if there is no person inside, it can command at least one of the solar sterilization unit (110) and the disinfection service use unit (150) to start disinfection. More specifically, the judgment unit (160) can detect that there is no person inside the next-generation mobility (10) using at least one of the analysis result of the internal image captured by the camera and the analysis result of the door opening and closing data. That is, the judgment unit (160) can determine whether there is a passenger inside using several sensors mounted on the next-generation mobility (10). If the judgment unit (160) detects that there is no person inside the space, it can command at least one of the solar sterilization unit (110), the virus removal unit (120), the touch surface disinfection unit (130), and the disinfection service use unit (150) to start disinfection based on the data of the sensor that detects the environmental condition.

[0149]

[0150] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a determination unit (160) in an indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the determination unit (160) of the indoor sanitation system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine whether there are no passengers and command the solar sterilization unit (110) and the disinfection service use unit (150) to start disinfection. The hygiene maintenance of the virus removal unit (120), the touch surface disinfection unit (130), and the droplet disinfection unit (140) can be continuously performed even when there are people inside the next-generation mobility (10), but the hygiene maintenance of the solar sterilization unit (110) or the disinfection service use unit (150) involves movement to a specific location, and thus can be operated only when there are no people according to the disinfection start command of the determination unit (160). In accordance with the embodiment, when using light that may affect the human body, such as ultraviolet rays, for surface disinfection, the virus removal unit (120), touch surface disinfection unit (130), etc. may also start disinfection according to the disinfection start command of the judgment unit (160).

[0151]

[0152] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a flow chart of an indoor hygiene maintenance method for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the indoor hygiene maintenance method for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented by performing each step in an indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility, including a solar disinfection step (S110), a virus removal step (S120), a touch surface disinfection step (S130), a droplet disinfection step (S140), and a disinfection service use step (S150).

[0153]

[0154] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating the flow of the judgment step (S160) in the indoor hygiene maintenance method for next-generation mobility according to one embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the indoor hygiene maintenance method for next-generation mobility according to one embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by further including the judgment step (S160) prior to the solar disinfection step (S110) or the disinfection service utilization step (S150).

[0155]

[0156] Since the details related to each step have been sufficiently described in relation to the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility according to an embodiment of the present invention, a detailed description will be omitted.

In addition, according to the indoor hygiene system (100) for next-generation mobility and the hygiene maintenance method proposed in the present invention, by further including a judgment unit (160) that detects that there is no person inside the next-generation mobility (10) and commands the start of disinfection, the hygiene of the interior of the next-generation mobility (10) can be effectively maintained by distinguishing between when there is a person and when there is no person and performing an appropriate disinfection and hygiene process.

[0159]
