[0080] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a user interface (400) for notifying of infectious disease risk in a target space according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 4, the user interface (400) can visually provide the risk of infectious diseases in the target space based on a digital twin. The user interface (400) can provide a virtual model (e.g., a virtual 3D model) corresponding to the target space based on a digital twin. However, it is not limited to this, and actual measurement data or prediction data of the target space may be visually represented in a way other than a virtual model.

[0082] The user interface (400) may provide an area (430) for selecting a target space to be displayed, and the target space (432) may be selected by user input. The user interface (400) may display space information (410), operating status information (420) of a disinfection air conditioning device located in the target space, air quality data (425) of the target space, a display information selection section (440), information on detected infectious agents (450), concentration data of airborne infectious agents (460), and a target space display area (470) separately for the selected target space (432, CC Nursing Home). In the example of FIG. 4, all of these data were displayed simultaneously, but some of these data may be displayed selectively.

[0083] The spatial information (410) may display at least one of the area information, space usage information, capacity information, average number of visitors information, or congestion information of the target space, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0084] Information on the operating status of the disinfection air conditioning device of the target space (420) may include at least one of the number of disinfection air conditioning devices of the target space, information on the operating status of each disinfection air conditioning device, airflow information, information related to plasma usage, and information related to normal operation.

[0085] The air quality data (425) of the target space may include data associated with at least one of temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, fine dust, ultrafine dust, oxygen concentration, or TVOC (total volatile organic compounds), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0086] The display information selection unit (440) can receive a user selection regarding whether to display the installation locations of a sensor for detecting airborne bacteria, an air quality data acquisition device, a disinfection air conditioning device (air conditioner), etc., in the target space display area (470). For example, if the user wishes to display the disinfection air conditioning device and the air quality data acquisition device installed in the target space in the target space display area (470), the user may select a selection box for the disinfection air conditioning device and the air quality data acquisition device. In the example of FIG. 4, an example is illustrated in which the air quality data acquisition device (474A, 474B, 474C) and the disinfection air conditioning device (472A, 472B, 472C) are respectively displayed in the target space display area (470) when the user selects a selection box for the disinfection air conditioning device and the air quality data acquisition device. Additionally, although not illustrated, a simulation of the diffusion of airborne bacteria particles by size by building air conditioning may also be displayed in the target display area (470).

[0087] The detected source of infection information (450) may include source of infection information detected in the target space. Additionally, optionally, the current status of an epidemic infectious disease may be displayed based on epidemic infectious disease trend data, or an infectious disease with potential for occurrence may be predicted and displayed.

[0088] The concentration data (460) of airborne infectious sources may include at least one of actual airborne infectious source concentration data and predicted airborne infectious source concentration data of the target space. For example, the processor may collect and display the concentration data (460) of airborne infectious sources in a time series. Additionally, the processor may generate predicted airborne infectious source concentration data through deep learning and / or reinforcement learning based on the actual concentration data of airborne infectious sources collected in a time series. Meanwhile, the concentration data (460) of airborne infectious sources may display concentration data for a specific airborne infectious source or concentration data for the total airborne infectious sources within the target space.

[0089] FIG. 5 illustrates, in an exemplary manner, infectious agent concentration data collected in a target space according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing infectious disease data by specific period provided by a disease control agency according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 5, the processor may collect infectious agent concentration data (500) for a predetermined period obtained in the target space. The predetermined period may be set to one of a preset time, day, week, or month, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0091] The processor may select an infectious agent to be monitored based on the concentration of the infectious agent measured in the target space. In one embodiment, the processor may select an infectious agent (512, 514, 516, 518, 528) that is higher than a preset concentration among the measured infectious agent concentrations. At this time, the processor may select and exclude an infectious agent (516) with a relatively low risk, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 6, the processor can receive time-series epidemic infectious disease data from a disease control agency. For example, the processor can receive epidemic infectious disease data corresponding to each recent week (weeks 32, 33, 34, and 35) from the disease control agency.

[0093] In one embodiment, when selecting an infectious agent to be monitored based on the concentration of the infectious agent measured in the target space, the processor may select an infectious agent associated with epidemic infectious disease data in which the variation at the time of selection exceeds a preset range. For example, the processor may select the infectious agent (518 in FIG. 5) and target monitor it after recognizing that the variation of 35 weeks of Staphylococcus aureus (522) for one infectious agent (518 in FIG. 5) exceeds a preset range (e.g., 10) (13), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0094] A processor executing a disease control air conditioning management method based on airborne infectious source concentration according to one embodiment of the present disclosure can calculate prediction data associated with airborne infectious source concentration based on at least one of spatial information regarding a target space, air quality data, and infectious source concentration data. Additionally, epidemic infectious disease data may be additionally considered when calculating such prediction data.

[0095] When the processor calculates prediction data, it may use a concentration prediction model, which is an artificial neural network algorithm. The concentration prediction model may be a deep learning model trained to receive spatial information, air quality data, and infectious agent concentration data as input, analyze the data, and calculate prediction data associated with airborne infectious agent concentrations.

[0096] Furthermore, the processor can improve the accuracy of the generated concentration prediction model by reinforcing the concentration prediction model. This will be explained below.

[0097] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a reinforcement learning process for a concentration prediction model using actual measurement data according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0098] Referring to Fig. 7, the concentration prediction model can be implemented based on an artificial neural network and can perform a reinforcement learning process. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a domain of machine learning (ML) and corresponds to a learning method in which an agent defined within a given environment recognizes its current state and selects an action or sequence of actions that maximizes the reward among selectable actions.

[0099] An agent refers to a subject that observes the state and selects an action, and the environment is the entity that changes its state and provides rewards through interaction when the agent takes action; the state refers to information representing the current situation of the environment, the action refers to what the agent does in the current state, and the reward corresponds to information expressing the merits or demerits of the action. Here, the reward must be well matched with the single or multiple objectives to be improved, and the state must accurately represent the environment.

[0100] In the reinforcement learning process, the concentration prediction model becomes the agent, the data provider becomes the environment, the action of the concentration prediction model comparing predicted data and actual data related to airborne infectious source concentrations becomes the action, and the data collected by the data provider becomes the state (S t It can be recognized as ). In this case, the concentration prediction model, which is the agent, uses the data collected by the data provider as a state (State, S t Recognized as ) selectable action, that is, the comparison operation of the concentration prediction model is rewarded (R t Reinforcement learning can be performed to generate such that ) can be maximized.

[0101] More specifically, the concentration prediction model, acting as the agent, is the entity that observes the implemented state (i.e., collected data gathered by the data provider from resources) and selects an action (i.e., compares predicted data with actual data). The reward system can be designed to provide positive feedback on the data provider's collected data as a result of the action; for instance, a relatively large reward is given if the difference between the predicted data and the actual measured data is within a first setpoint, a small reward is given if the difference exceeds the first setpoint but is within a second setpoint, and no reward is given if it exceeds the second setpoint. Furthermore, reinforcement learning can be performed on the agent as the agent repeats the process of comparing actions—that is, the concentration prediction model's comparison—in a direction that maximizes the reward. Consequently, the concentration prediction model, acting as the agent, becomes capable of continuously performing optimized data classification.

[0102] In one embodiment, the artificial neural network module of the concentration prediction model may be designed not only to undergo a pre-training process based on sample data, but also to continuously perform the operation of comparing the predicted data and the actual measured data through such reinforcement learning even after pre-training.

[0103] In summary, the processor acquires actual measurement data regarding the concentration of airborne infectious agents in the target space, and after an agent generates prediction data regarding the concentration of airborne infectious agents in the target space, it performs reinforcement learning by comparing the prediction data with the acquired actual measurement data to minimize the error, and can update the calculated prediction data using the reinforcement-learned prediction data to improve the accuracy of the concentration prediction model.

[0104] FIG. 8 is a drawing for explaining the process (530) of determining the infection level of a target space according to a risk level according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0105] Referring to FIG. 8, the processor can acquire epidemic infectious disease data. The epidemic infectious disease data includes epidemic infectious disease trend data, and the epidemic infectious disease trend data can be updated at a preset interval (e.g., weekly, monthly, etc.) through communication with an external server. The external server may correspond to a disease control agency, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0106] The processor can determine the epidemic disease risk level (532) based on collected epidemic disease data. The processor can determine the epidemic disease risk level based on the speed of transmission of the disease, the scale of damage, and the possibility of response. For example, Level 1 (low risk) may be a level corresponding to a situation where the disease occurs locally and is controllable, and Level 2 (moderate risk) may be a level corresponding to a situation where multiple infected people occur in a limited area and are controllable. Additionally, Level 3 (high risk) may be a level corresponding to a situation where the disease spreads to multiple regions and there is a risk of large-scale infection (above a preset threshold), and Level 4 (very high risk) may be a level corresponding to a situation where the disease progresses extensively nationally or internationally and is difficult to control, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0107] In addition, the processor can generate predictive data associated with the concentration of airborne infectious agents in the target space, and the predictive data is the concentration of total airborne infectious agents (CFU / m³). 3Depending on the, it may be classified into Grade 1 (low risk, e.g., 200 or less), Grade 2 (moderate risk, 400 or less), Grade 3 (high risk, 800 or less), Grade 4 (very high risk, e.g., over 800), etc., but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the numerical value for determining the grade may differ depending on the virus, bacteria, fungi, etc.

[0108] The processor can determine a first risk level (532, first risk level) associated with epidemic infectious disease data and a second risk level (534, second risk level) associated with prediction data.

[0109] The processor can determine the infection risk level for the target space based on at least one of the first risk level (532) and the second risk level (534) (536).

[0110] In one embodiment, the processor can control the epidemic prevention air conditioning device based on at least one of epidemic infectious disease data and prediction data, and can control the epidemic prevention air conditioning device based on a determined infection risk level. Specifically, the processor can set the operating conditions of the epidemic prevention air conditioning device based on the determined infection risk level.

[0111] As a non-limiting example, the operating conditions of the epidemic prevention air conditioning device may include at least one of the wind speed of the epidemic prevention air conditioning device, the use of plasma, or the plasma operating intensity according to the epidemic infectious pathogens to be prevented.

[0112] FIG. 9 is a drawing showing state information (600) associated with an air conditioning device of a target space according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0113] Referring to FIG. 9, when a disinfection air conditioning device (610) of a target space (AR) is selected in a user interface representing a target space (AR), the processor may display status information associated with the disinfection air conditioning device (610). The processor may display information associated with at least one of the power status, automatic operation status, wind wave information, airborne bacteria range information, plasma usage status, and normal operation status of the disinfection air conditioning device (610) (620).

[0114] In addition, the processor may provide at least one of a disease prevention need alarm, disease prediction information based on the concentration of the infectious agent, or action guideline information to a terminal associated with disease prevention, depending on the determined infection risk level.

[0115] In addition, the processor can display at least one of collected information and data, calculated prediction data, determined infection risk level, information related to the alarm for disease prevention, disease prediction information based on the concentration of the infectious agent, or action guideline information through a display device.

[0116] In addition, the processor can display concentration prediction data for epidemic infectious diseases through a display device based on the particle size of airborne infectious sources, for example, bioaerosols.

[0117] FIGS. 10 to 12 are drawings comparing air quality data before and after operation of an air conditioning device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0118] The processor can control the disinfection air conditioning device based on epidemic infectious disease data and concentration prediction data. In one embodiment, the processor can additionally operate the disinfection air conditioning device when the epidemic infectious disease risk level is level 2 or higher and the prediction data risk level is level 2 or higher. The processor can operate the disinfection air conditioning device at a preset time even if the infection level of the target space is at its lowest, and can additionally operate the disinfection air conditioning device when the infection level is high.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 10, it can be seen that when the disinfection air conditioning device is operated (740) compared to before (720) the disinfection air conditioning device is operated, the carbon dioxide measurement data (714, 724) decreases by approximately 200 CFU, and in the case of fine dust or ultrafine dust (pm10, pm25, pm1, etc.) (728, 730, 732), it is measured by being suspended by the air conditioning, but the value is not significant. Furthermore, it can be seen that the temperature (716, 726) and humidity (712, 722) are stabilized by the operation of the disinfection air conditioning device.

[0120] Referring to FIG. 11, it can be seen that the total number of airborne bacteria is significantly reduced after the disinfection air conditioning device is activated (820) compared to before the disinfection air conditioning device is activated (810). It can also be seen that the concentration of carbon dioxide is reduced.

[0121] Referring to Fig. 12, it can be seen that the total number of airborne bacteria decreased significantly after operation (920, 940) compared to before operation (910, 930) and that carbon dioxide also decreased significantly.

[0122] Referring to Figures 10 to 12, it can be seen that when the disinfection air conditioning system is operated, the amount of airborne infectious agents is significantly reduced, and the measured amount of carbon dioxide is also reduced.

[0126] In step S1030, the processor can calculate prediction data associated with airborne infectious agent concentration based on at least one of spatial information, air quality data, and infectious agent concentration data.

[0127] In addition, the processor can determine the infection risk level for the target space based on epidemic infectious disease data and calculated prediction data.

[0128] In step S1040, the processor can control the epidemic prevention air conditioning device based on epidemic infectious disease data and prediction data.

[0129] The processor can set operating conditions for the disinfection air conditioning device based on a determined infection risk class. The operating conditions here may include at least one of the wind speed of the disinfection air conditioning device, whether plasma is used, or the plasma operating intensity according to the epidemic infectious pathogens to be disinfected.

[0130] After determining the infection risk level, the processor may provide at least one of an alarm requiring disease control, disease prediction information based on the concentration of the infectious agent, or action guidelines information to a terminal associated with disease control, depending on the determined infection risk level.

[0131] The processor acquires actual measurement data regarding the concentration of airborne infectious agents in the target space, performs reinforcement learning by comparing the agent's prediction data regarding the concentration of airborne infectious agents in the target space with the acquired actual measurement data, and can update the prediction data calculated from the reinforcement-learned prediction data.

[0132] The processor can display at least one of collected information and data, calculated prediction data, determined infection risk level, information related to disease prevention alarms, disease prediction information based on infectious agent concentration, or action guideline information through a display device.

[0133] The processor can display concentration prediction data for epidemic infectious diseases based on the particle size of bioaerosols through a display device.
