Description

Smart Integrated Safety Guardian System and Method for Fire Safety Management, Safety Protection of Elderly Living Alone, and Earthquake Path Prediction

[0001] The present invention relates to a smart integrated safety monitoring system and method for fire safety management, safety protection for the elderly living alone, and earthquake path prediction. In particular, the invention relates to a smart integrated safety monitoring system applicable for fire safety management or safety protection for the elderly living alone, and a smart integrated safety monitoring system and method that utilizes an integrated safety monitoring device for the elderly, patients, and indoor residents requiring monitoring to detect vibrations in multiple buildings upon the occurrence of an earthquake, and predicts the path, speed, and intensity of the earthquake, thereby notifying residents in buildings located along the predicted path of an ongoing earthquake of earthquake information in advance so that residents can prepare for the vibrations.

[0002] Conventional fire detection systems are structured to activate a fire alarm throughout the entire building when a fire occurs in a specific location, allowing personnel working in security rooms, control rooms, etc., to become aware of the fire through the alarm. Subsequently, the personnel visually confirm the location of the fire and take measures to suppress it.

[0003] In the case of such systems, there is a limitation in that personnel can only simply recognize whether a fire has occurred through the fire alarm sound, and cannot quickly identify specific information regarding the actual location of the fire. Furthermore, since personnel must visually confirm the location of the fire and notify relevant agencies such as the operation manager, police station, or fire department, it is difficult to respond quickly and accurately, which leads to increased casualties and property damage.

[0004] Meanwhile, as the number of elderly people living alone is gradually increasing due to the recent trend of nuclear families and the extension of average human lifespan, there is a need to establish a low-cost, effective system that checks on their well-being in daily life and promptly notifies guardians of specific situations in the event of an emergency to enable appropriate response.

[0005] Furthermore, recent strong earthquakes occurring worldwide are causing increasing casualties and damage to social infrastructure. In Korea, although most earthquakes over the past few years have been of weak magnitude, domestic earthquakes are occurring at a higher frequency than before, leading to growing fear. Since there is always a risk that even weak earthquakes, if occurring over a long period, could escalate into major earthquakes, the importance of technology to predict earthquake occurrences in advance is growing.

[0006] The reality is that when an earthquake occurs, socially vulnerable groups—such as the elderly, those living alone, people with disabilities, and patients—are often unaware of relevant information in advance, or even if they are aware, find it difficult to evacuate without the assistance of others. Although devices and systems are in place to monitor the indoor living conditions and responses of these vulnerable groups, most of them primarily rely on resident activation to request external assistance or transmit information to relevant agencies or guardians only when a response is weak; consequently, they fail to provide guidance on earthquake predictions and corresponding preparedness measures.

[0007] An example of a technology related to earthquake prediction is disclosed in the following patent documents 1 to 3, etc.

[0008] For example, the following patent document 1 discloses an earthquake risk management system comprising: a measuring unit including at least one sensor for measuring environmental information including at least one of vibration information, temperature information, humidity information, crack information, and tilt information of a predetermined area; a control unit for selecting selection information including at least one of the vibration information, temperature information, humidity information, crack information, and tilt information included in the environmental information; a first communication unit for transmitting the selection information and location information regarding the location of the predetermined area to the outside; a second communication unit for receiving the selection information and the location information transmitted from the first communication unit; a judgment unit for determining whether an earthquake has occurred and the intensity of the earthquake by comparing the location information and the selection information with reference information set according to the location information and the environmental information; and a notification unit for transmitting information regarding the occurrence of danger to people, including people residing in the predetermined area, when the intensity of the earthquake determined by the judgment unit is greater than or equal to a preset intensity.

[0009] In addition, Patent Document 2 below discloses an earthquake event detection system comprising: (a) a plurality of optically switchable windows; (b) a plurality of window controllers, each configured to control the optical state of at least one optically switchable window, and the window controllers are connected via a network; (c) a plurality of inertial sensors, each configured to measure inertial data by positioning at least one direction when fixed to a building and to provide the measured inertial data to a network; and (d) an earthquake event detection logic, comprising: (i) a building response signature configured to identify or receive a building response signature, wherein the building response signature includes inertial information measured from the inertial sensors; and (ii) an earthquake event detection logic configured to analyze the building response signature and determine that an earthquake event has occurred.

[0058] When multiple integrated safety monitoring devices are installed, at least one device may be configured as a primary device, and the remaining devices may be configured as secondary devices. The primary device may control one or more secondary devices or processes and perform the role of a communication hub.

[0059] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a smart integrated safety protection system for fire safety management, safety protection for elderly people living alone, and earthquake path prediction according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0060] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a smart integrated safety monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] A smart integrated safety monitoring system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of integrated safety monitoring devices (100) and a plurality of sensors (200), and according to an embodiment, may further include one or more IP cameras (300), user PCs (600), safety management servers (400), and terminals (500).

[0062] An integrated safety monitoring device (100) is installed in each area (e.g., each department of a company, each room of a house) within a group (e.g., a building, a house, etc.), and the integrated safety monitoring devices (100) installed throughout the building are connected to enable communication with each other via a Power Line Communication (PLC).

[0063] By configuring the integrated safety guard devices (100) installed in each area to enable power line communication, and by configuring the integrated safety guard devices (100) to enable TCP / IP communication when used independently, the system can be easily built to suit the environment of the installation location.

[0064] In one embodiment, one of the integrated safety guard devices (100) is set as a master as shown in FIG. 1, and the others are set as slaves. The master integrated safety guard device (100) interacts with the slave integrated safety guard devices (100) installed in each area via power line communication and communicates with a user PC (600), a safety management server (400), etc. based on TCP / IP Ethernet.

[0065] Additionally, each area within the group is equipped with one or more sensors (200) that detect external temperature or movement to detect abnormal situations where a fire occurs or there is no movement of the human body. Here, each sensor (200) is a fire detection sensor for detecting the occurrence of a fire by determining whether the temperature rises due to smoke or heat, or an unmanned human body detection sensor for detecting abnormal situations where there is no movement by detecting human body movement, an infrared sensor, a thermal detection sensor, etc.

[0066] Each integrated safety device (100) is linked with adjacent sensors (200) via short-range communication such as RF, RS485, RS422 to determine whether a fire has occurred or if there is no human movement. When an abnormal situation occurs, voice guidance messages announcing the occurrence of the abnormal situation and its location are broadcast collectively through the integrated safety devices (100) installed in the same group (e.g., within one building) in each area.

[0067] To this end, group identification information (group code, group ID, etc.) and device identification information (device code, device ID, etc.) are stored in each integrated safety device (100). All integrated safety devices (100) within the same group have the same group identification information.

[0068] In this configuration, when an abnormal situation occurs, each integrated safety guard device (100) receives a detection signal from an adjacent sensor (200) and recognizes it. When an abnormal situation occurs in any area within a group, the integrated safety guard device (100) installed in that area generates an event notification signal including its device identification information and transmits it to all integrated safety guard devices (100) within the same group via a power line communication network. Then, the integrated safety guard devices (100) within the same group that receive the event notification signal extract a voice guidance message corresponding to the device identification information included in the event notification signal from a pre-stored voice DB and broadcast it collectively.

[0069] An IP camera (300) is installed around each integrated safety guard device (100) to acquire an image of the location where the integrated safety guard device (100) is installed, and transmits it to a user PC (600), a safety management server (400), or a terminal (500) via a wired or wireless communication network such as Ethernet or a mobile communication network.

[0070] The safety management server (400) connects to an integrated safety guard device (100) set as a master or a user PC (600) that manages it via a wired or wireless communication network, and performs integrated management of the integrated safety guard devices (100) within the group and monitoring operations using them from a remote location.

[0071] Furthermore, the safety management server (400) monitors the current status of each group and area by linking with the integrated safety guard devices (100) of multiple groups. Server / client applications are installed on the safety management server (400) and the user PC (600), respectively, to support monitoring functions for the current status of each group and area.

[0072] When an abnormal situation occurs in any area, voice guidance messages including the occurrence of the abnormal situation and its location are broadcast collectively through the integrated safety guard devices (100) within the same group, and at the same time, the safety management server (400) receives an event notification signal from the master integrated safety guard device (100) of the group to which the area belongs or the user PC (600) that manages it to recognize the occurrence of the abnormal situation, and identifies the exact location of the abnormal situation based on the group identification information and device identification information included in the received event notification signal. In addition, the safety management server (400) sends a text message notifying the occurrence of the abnormal situation and its location to the terminal (500) of a manager, such as a person in charge of a relevant agency like a police station or fire station, an operator, or a guardian, and sends video footage obtained through an IP camera (300) installed around the integrated safety guard device (100) within the area to the terminal (500).

[0073] The terminal (500) is a terminal held by a manager, such as a person in charge of a relevant agency like a police station or fire station, an operator, or a guardian, and is equipped with a safety management application. Through the installed safety management application, it receives various information, videos, etc., related to the occurrence of abnormal situations from a user PC (600) or a safety management server (400). The aforementioned terminal (500) can be implemented as a smartphone, a tablet PC, etc.

[0074] FIGS. 2 to 4 are drawings illustrating the installation state of the smart integrated safety monitoring system shown in FIG. 1.

[0075] First, FIG. 2 is an installation diagram illustrating the case where the system of FIG. 1 is applied to a residential house for fire safety management. Integrated safety monitoring devices (100) are distributed and installed in each room of the residential house (Room A, Room B, living room, kitchen, etc.). Among these, the integrated safety monitoring device (100) in the living room is set as a master and linked with a user PC (600), while the remaining integrated safety monitoring devices (100) are set as slaves and operate. In addition, a sensor (200) for fire detection is installed in each area.

[0076] When a fire occurs in Room A (child's room), the integrated safety device (100) of Room A recognizes the fire through short-range communication with an adjacent sensor (200) and repeatedly outputs a pre-stored voice guidance message, such as "A fire has occurred in the child's room." At the same time, other integrated safety devices (100) within the same group installed in each area receive an event notification signal indicating that a fire has occurred in Room A via power line communication and repeatedly broadcast the same voice guidance message as the integrated safety device (100) of Room A, such as "A fire has occurred in the child's room."

[0077] The integrated safety monitoring device (100) installed in the living room transmits the occurrence of a fire and its location to the user PC (600), and the user PC (600) can connect to a mobile communication network (e.g., CDMA, etc.) through a transceiver (650) to notify a terminal (500) of a manager, such as a relevant agency, an operator, or a guardian who is out of the house, that a fire has occurred in Room A via a text message.

[0078] Figure 3 is an installation diagram illustrating the case where the system of Figure 1 is applied to an office for fire safety management.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 3, the integrated safety guard devices (100) are installed in each department within the office, such as the finance team, sales team 1, sales team 2, and technology research institute, and are interconnected through power line communication, and one of them is set as a master and performs TCP / IP communication with the safety management server (400), which is the upper system.

[0080] In addition, the safety management server (400) links with the IP camera (300) to secure video footage of the scene when a fire occurs, and notifies the secured video and various information (time, place, location, etc.) related to the fire occurrence to the terminal (500) of a manager, such as an operator or guardian, or to relevant agencies such as a police station or fire station, through a transmitter / receiver (650), thereby supporting a rapid response to various damages.

[0081] Figure 4 is an installation diagram illustrating the case where the system of Figure 1 is applied to a home to protect the safety of an elderly person living alone.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 4, integrated safety guard devices (100) are distributed and installed in each room of a house (room A, room B, living room, kitchen, etc.).

[0083] In FIG. 4, the sensor (200) is an unmanned human body detection sensor, an infrared sensor, a thermal detection sensor, etc. for detecting human body movement, and the integrated safety device (100) detects the movement of an elderly person living alone through short-range communication (e.g., RF, RS485, RS422, etc.) with the adjacent installed sensor (200).

[0084] When there is no movement in Room A (Grandmother's Room) for a certain period of time, the integrated safety device (100) installed in Room A transmits an event notification signal indicating the occurrence of an abnormal situation where there is no human movement to the integrated safety devices (100) installed in each area via power line communication, and through them, a voice guidance message, such as 'No movement of Grandmother in Room A is detected' is broadcast.

[0085] The guardian can easily check the grandmother's condition using a safety management application installed on their terminal (500). If necessary, the guardian can receive video of Room A from the outside via an IP camera (300) to more accurately determine the current condition, and can cancel the voice guidance function remotely once it is confirmed that there are no problems. Additionally, it is possible to input the grandmother's sleeping time or TV viewing time into the integrated safety device (100) so that it is designed so that no notification is given even if there is no movement during that time.

[0086] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the internal configuration of the integrated safety guard device shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the mechanical external configuration of the integrated safety guard device shown in FIG. 5, where (a) shows the front view and (b) shows the rear view.

[0087] An integrated safety device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a power supply unit (110), a battery charging unit (130), a control unit (120), a storage unit (140), a DIP switch unit (150), a status display unit (160), an alarm notification display unit (170), a communication unit (180), a speaker unit (190), and, depending on the embodiment, may further include an emergency call button (175) and a microphone unit (195) for an emergency call function as shown in FIG. 6.

[0088] First, the power supply unit (110) converts AC power into DC power through a rectifier unit (111), such as a bridge circuit, and a regulator unit (112) and supplies it.

[0089] The battery charging unit (130) stores DC power from the power supply unit (110) and serves to supply emergency power when the AC power is cut off.

[0090] The control unit (120) receives power from the power supply unit (110) or the battery charging unit (130) and controls the overall operation of various components such as the storage unit (140), the DIP switch unit (150), the alarm notification display unit (170), the status display unit (160), the communication unit (180), and the speaker unit (190).

[0091] The storage unit (140) stores a voice DB containing various voice guidance messages and can be implemented using ROM, etc.

[0092] The DIP switch section (150) is for setting device identification information.

[0093] In one embodiment, the DIP switch unit (150) may be configured to include a part (151) for setting group identification information (e.g., group ID) and a part (152) for setting device identification information (e.g., sensor ID), as shown in FIG. 6 (b). Although not shown, the sensor (200) may also be provided with a DIP switch unit for setting device identification information (e.g., sensor ID) in correspondence with the integrated safety guard device (100) that can be linked. The integrated safety guard device (100) and the sensor (200) installed in the same area and linked to each other may be configured to have the same device identification information (e.g., ID).

[0094] Integrated safety guard devices (100) within the same group (e.g., within one building), that is, integrated safety guard devices (100) distributed and installed in each area while having the same group identification information, communicate with each other using device identification information.

[0095] The communication unit (180) is responsible for communication with the outside and can be configured to support power line communication standards for communication between integrated safety guard devices (100), short-range communication standards such as RF, RS485, RS422 for communication with sensors (200), and TCP / IP communication standards for communication with user PC (600) and safety management server (400).

[0096] The control unit (120) receives a detection signal from an adjacent sensor (200) via the communication unit (180) to determine whether an abnormal situation occurs where there is no fire or human movement, and when an abnormal situation occurs, it generates an event notification signal including its own device identification information set by the DIP switch unit (150) and transmits it to the integrated safety guard devices (100) within the same group via the communication unit (180). When the control unit (120) receives an event notification signal from another integrated safety guard device (100) within the group via the communication unit (180), it extracts a voice guidance message corresponding to the device identification information included in the received event notification signal from the voice DB of the storage unit (140) and outputs it through the speaker unit (190).

[0097] In addition, the integrated safety device (100) is equipped with an alarm notification display unit (170) and a status display unit (160) so that the occurrence of abnormal situations and related information can be intuitively identified visually.

[0098] The alarm notification display unit (170) is equipped with an alarm lamp that flashes when an abnormal situation occurs, as shown in FIG. 6 (a). The status display unit (160), which is configured together with the alarm notification display unit (170), is configured to include LEDs to indicate the current status and whether an abnormal situation has occurred in each of the other areas.

[0099] Referring to FIG. 6(a), one side of the status display unit (160) according to one embodiment is equipped with LEDs that light up to indicate the current status according to the power status, whether an abnormal situation alarm such as a fire is issued, whether an emergency call is made, etc. Additionally, on the other side of the status display unit (160), LEDs that light up according to whether an abnormal situation occurs in each area (e.g., room A, room B, room C, living room, kitchen, etc.) are equipped. For example, when a fire occurs in room A, the alarm lamp equipped in the alarm notification display unit (170) of the integrated safety guard device (100) installed in room B, room C, living room, kitchen, etc. blinks, the LED of room A equipped in the status display unit (160) is turned on, and a voice guidance message announcing the occurrence of a fire in room A is output through the speaker unit (190).

[0100] If there is a person in room A, the emergency call function of the integrated safety device (100) installed in room A can be used. When this person presses the emergency call button (175) of the integrated safety device (100) installed in room A and speaks their current status into the microphone (195), the corresponding voice is broadcast collectively through the speaker (190) of the integrated safety devices (100) installed in each area (e.g., room B, room C, living room, kitchen, etc.).

[0101] The microphone unit (195) is for receiving the user's voice when using such an emergency call function.

[0102] The speaker unit (190) is intended to output a voice guidance message when an abnormal situation occurs, or to output the user's real-time voice when using the emergency call function.

[0103] When the user presses the emergency call button (175) to input, the control unit (120) switches to transmission mode, activates the microphone unit (195), receives the user's voice, and transmits it in real time to the receiving integrated safety guard devices (100) within the same group.

[0104] When an emergency call command is received from another integrated safety guard device (100) within the group, the control unit (120) switches to a receiving mode, activates the speaker unit (190), and then outputs the user's voice transmitted in real time from the transmitting integrated safety guard device (100) within the same group, corresponding to the device identification information included in the emergency call command.

[0105] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the internal configuration of the safety management server shown in FIG. 1, and is composed of a communication unit (410), a location information DB (420), an administrator information DB (430), an integrated safety monitoring device management unit (440), a video management unit (450), a text transmission unit (460), etc.

[0106] In this configuration, the communication unit (410) is responsible for communication with the integrated safety guard device (100), user PC (600), IP camera (300), terminal (500), etc., through a wired or wireless communication network.

[0107] The location information DB (420) stores location information for each group identification information (for example, group identification information 0001 is house 1 in ××-dong, 0002 is house 2 in ○○-dong, …, 0100 is office N in △△-dong) and device identification information for the integrated safety guard device (100) installed at each location.

[0108] The administrator information DB (430) manages information about administrators who are notified of the occurrence of an abnormal situation, such as the operation manager, the person in charge of the relevant agency such as the police station or fire station, or the guardian (e.g., the phone number of the terminal to receive the abnormal situation notification message, video, etc.).

[0109] The integrated safety guard device management unit (440) monitors the current status of multiple groups by group and area, and recognizes the occurrence of an abnormal situation by an event notification signal received from the integrated safety guard device (100) set as the master of each group.

[0110] When an abnormal situation occurs in a specific area, the integrated safety guard device management unit (440) searches the location information DB (420) and the manager information DB (430) respectively based on the group identification information and device identification information included in the received event notification signal to identify the location of the abnormal situation and the manager, and in conjunction with the text message transmission unit (460), sends a text message (e.g., fire occurred in Zone B on the 3rd floor of △△ Building at 2:10 PM) to the manager, such as the operator, the person in charge of related agencies such as the police station and fire station, and the guardian, to inform them of real-time information about the abnormal situation (e.g., type of abnormal situation, time of occurrence, place and location, etc.).

[0111] In addition, the integrated safety monitoring device management unit (440) links with the video management unit (450) to control the IP camera (300) installed at the location where an abnormal situation occurred, secure video of the location, and output the secured on-site video to the screen so that the manager can monitor the on-site situation in real time.

[0112] The video management unit (450) is linked with the integrated safety protection device management unit (440) to display a video obtained through an IP camera (300) installed around the integrated safety protection device (100) on a screen, and also transmits the video obtained through the IP camera (300) to a manager's terminal (500) equipped with a safety management application.

[0113] In this way, through the video obtained via the IP camera (300), the administrator can visually check the condition of the site where the abnormal situation occurred and take action. For example, after receiving notification of the occurrence of an abnormal situation with no human movement and its location via the terminal (500), the guardian can check on the well-being of the elderly person living alone through the video obtained via the IP camera (300), and if there is no problem, can remotely cancel the voice guidance function that is currently running.

[0114] The text transmission unit (460) is linked with the integrated safety protection device management unit (440) and transmits text messages via a mobile communication network to inform managers, such as guardians, operators, and officials from relevant agencies like police stations and fire departments, of real-time information regarding abnormal situations.

[0115] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a smart integrated safety monitoring system for earthquake path prediction according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the structure of a smart integrated safety monitoring system for earthquake prediction built in a building according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a system built in a first building according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of an integrated safety monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an administrator server according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of an artificial intelligence analysis unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0116] Referring to FIGS. 8 to 10, an integrated safety monitoring system (1000) for earthquake path prediction according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a manager server (3000) connected via a wired or wireless communication network (2000) to a plurality of buildings (1, 2, …, N) in which a sensor module (1100) and an integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) are installed. The communication network may also be connected to a guardian terminal (4000) and a relevant agency (5000).

[0117] The integrated safety monitoring system (1000) for predicting the earthquake path above can perform computational and judgment functions regarding whether an earthquake has occurred, the magnitude, speed, and predicted direction of progress of the earthquake by utilizing power grids, communication networks, public data, and cloud services. The system (1000) can generate earthquake information and notify residents inside buildings (1, 2, …, N), thereby giving residents time to evacuate in advance and contributing to protecting social infrastructure facilities from earthquakes.

[0118] The sensor module (1100) may use a single sensor to detect a specific event or be a module composed of multiple sensors to detect multiple different events. For example, the sensor module (1100) may be an earthquake detection sensor to detect an earthquake, a vibration detection sensor to detect vibration, or an acceleration sensor. Additionally, the sensor module (1100) may include image sensors such as cameras to detect the activity or life reactions of residents inside a building, ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, Doppler sensors, and motion detection sensors.

[0119] The sensor module (1100) may be an IoT sensor such as a body temperature sensor, a blood pressure sensor, or a blood oxygen sensor for detecting vital signs of the elderly, patients, or people living alone, and if necessary, the sensor module (1100) may include a smoke detection sensor, a CO sensor, a CO2 sensor, and a temperature sensor for detecting fires that may accompany an earthquake.

[0120] The sensor module (1100) may be provided in multiple units in each of the multiple buildings (1, 2, …, N). For example, the sensor module (1100) is installed in each room or section of the first building (1) to detect specific events (earthquakes, vibrations) occurring in the first building (1) and transmits the detection results to an integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) installed in each room or section. For example, if a specific room of the first building (1) is divided into a room, a kitchen, and a living room, a sensor module (1100) is installed in each section space, and at least one integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) is installed in each specific room or section to receive the specific event signal detected by the sensor module (1100). If the sensor module (1100) includes a sensor that detects earthquakes or vibrations, the earthquake detection sensor or vibration detection sensor may be mounted within the integrated safety device (1200, 1300). In this case, the integrated safety device (1200, 1300) may generate earthquake warning information by having an onboard chip equipped with AI technology for predicting the path, intensity, and speed of an earthquake.

[0121] The integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) receives a specific event signal, i.e., an earthquake or vibration detection signal, detected by the sensor module (1100) using short-range communication technology such as Wi-Fi, RF, RS485, RS422, etc. Additionally, building identification information (building code, building ID, etc.) and identification information of the integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) (device code, device ID, etc.) are stored in the integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300). All integrated safety monitoring devices within the same building may have the same group identification information.

[0122] A plurality of integrated safety guard devices (1200, 1300) installed in the first building (1) may have one device set as the primary device (1300) and the remaining devices set as secondary devices (1200). The primary device (1300) can control the transmission and reception process with one or more secondary devices (1200) or alarm broadcasting and administrator servers (3000) and can perform the role of a communication hub. The primary device (1300) can receive specific event signals (including earthquake detection or vibration detection) received from a plurality of secondary devices (1200) using power lines and transmit them to an administrator server (3000), a guardian terminal (4000), or a relevant agency (5000) through an external wired / wireless communication network (2000).

[0123] Additionally, the primary device (1300) of the first building (1) can share a specific event signal, for example, an earthquake or vibration detection signal, with the primary devices (1300) of the second building (2) and other buildings (3, …, N) using power line communication or a wireless communication network (2000). Accordingly, residents of the buildings (1, 2, …, N) constituting the system (1000) can receive earthquake warning information and prepare to minimize earthquake damage before the earthquake waves arrive.

[0124] Referring to FIG. 11, the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) operates by receiving power from a power supply unit (1210). The power supply unit (1210) may operate using commercial power connected to a power grid or an independent power source such as a battery. Additionally, the power supply unit (1210) may use commercial power as the primary power source and operate using auxiliary power such as a battery in the event of a power outage caused by an earthquake or fire. This auxiliary power may be provided by the device charging unit (1280). The power supply unit (1210) converts AC power into DC power through a rectifier circuit and a regulator to supply DC power to the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300), and the device charging unit (1280) stores the DC power supplied from the power supply unit (1210) and can be used as auxiliary power for the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300).

[0125] The integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) includes a device control unit (1220), a device storage unit (1230), a status display unit (1240), a microphone (1250), a speaker (1260), and a communication module (1270). The device control unit (1220) controls the operation of the components of the integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300). For example, the device control unit (1220) controls the communication module (1270) to store specific event information received from the sensor module (1100) in the device storage unit (1230) and to transmit event information, the time of event occurrence, the unique identification information of the device, and building information to the administrator server (3000). Additionally, the device control unit (1220) can control the speaker (1260) to output earthquake alarm information provided by the administrator server (3000).

[0126] The above device storage unit (1230) stores a message for outputting voice according to the event situation and stores information about an administrator, for example, a system operation manager, a person in charge of a relevant agency such as a fire department or police station, or a guardian who is notified of the occurrence of the event situation.

[0127] The status display unit (1240) provides a visual identification display of the current status, whether an abnormal situation has occurred in another section, and a specific event situation that has occurred in a section where the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) is installed, so that the occurrence of a specific event situation and related information can be checked visually and intuitively. For example, the status display unit (1240) can display the current status or whether a specific event situation has occurred by the operation of a lighting means, such as an LED, which lights up to display the current status according to the charging status, a specific event alarm, an emergency call, etc. Additionally, if it is confirmed that an earthquake has occurred, the status display unit (1240) provides an earthquake occurrence lighting indicator, and a voice guidance message announcing the occurrence of an earthquake can be output through the speaker (1260).

[0128] The above microphone (1250) is used for a resident to directly input their own voice when a specific event occurs and can be used as an emergency call function. The above speaker (1260) is used to output a voice guidance message when a specific event occurs or to output the user's real-time voice when using the emergency call function. The voice input into the above microphone (1250) can be transmitted to an integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) of another building via a wired / wireless communication network (2000) under the control of the device control unit (1220), or to an administrator server (3000), a guardian terminal (4000), or a relevant agency (5000).

[0129] The communication module (1270) is for exchanging information with the outside, and performs power line communication between a primary device (1300) and a plurality of secondary devices (1200) in a specific building, or performs communication to exchange information regarding specific event situations between primary devices (1300) installed in different buildings. In addition, the communication module (1270) performs short-range communication standards such as RF, RS485, and RS422 for communication with the sensor module (1100), and wired / wireless communication for calling the administrator server (3000), guardian terminal (4000), and relevant agency (5000).

[0130] Referring to FIG. 12, the administrator server (3000) analyzes a plurality of event signals received from each of a plurality of integrated safety guard devices (1200, 1300) and provides information on the event situation to the integrated safety guard devices (1200, 1300) each installed in a plurality of buildings (1, 2, …, N). The administrator server (3000) is equipped with a database unit (3100), a server control unit (3200), an artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300), a device management unit (3400), and a server communication unit (3500).

[0131] The above database unit (3100) is equipped with a building information storage unit (3120), a geological information storage unit (3140), and a building management storage unit (3160). The building information storage unit (3120) stores location information including the address, latitude, and longitude of the building (1, 2, …, N), spatial information of the building, material information, seismic design information, and characteristic information of the vibration reduction device.

[0132] The above geological information storage unit (3140) stores geological information around the building (1, 2, …, N) and earthquake history information including information such as the speed, intensity, and direction of propagation of seismic waves. If necessary, the earthquake history information can be received and stored via the server communication unit (3500) through open data related to earthquake history or history information stored in an earthquake information center. The above geological information storage unit (3140) stores characteristic information of P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves (Rayleigh waves, Love waves) according to the properties and density of the rocks, and when an earthquake occurs, it is provided as basic data necessary for the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) to analyze the characteristics of the earthquake that has occurred, along with the geological information.

[0133] The building management storage unit (3160) stores information regarding managers, i.e., operation managers, personnel from relevant agencies such as police stations and fire departments, or guardians who are notified of the occurrence of abnormal situations for each of the multiple buildings (1, 2, …, N) (e.g., phone numbers of terminals to receive abnormal situation notification messages, videos, etc.). In addition, the building management storage unit (3160) updates information regarding specific events (fire, earthquake, repair, expansion, etc.) that occurred in each of the multiple buildings (1, 2, …, N) and stores it as basic data to be used when a specific event occurs. The server control unit (3200) controls the operation of the manager server (3000).

[0134] Referring to FIG. 13, the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) calculates the speed, intensity, and expected direction of progression of the currently occurring earthquake using building characteristic information, geological information, seismic wave information, and earthquake history information of the earthquake occurrence area stored in the database unit (3100). For example, the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) receives a first event signal of the first building (1) transmitted from the first integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) among a plurality of buildings (1, 2, …, N) and a second event signal of the second building (2) transmitted from the second integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300). By comparing the first event signal and the second event signal to calculate the speed of the seismic wave, the intensity of the seismic wave, and the predicted path of propagation, earthquake warning information including the expected intensity of the seismic wave and the estimated time of arrival can be transmitted to a third integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) installed in a third building (3) separated from the first building (1) and the second building (2) using a server communication unit (3500) under the control of a server control unit (3200). Subsequently, the third integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) outputs an earthquake warning broadcast to the residents inside the third building (3), thereby providing information so that residents inside the buildings (1, 2, …, N) can prepare for an earthquake.

[0135] In this case, the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) transmits the speed of the seismic wave, the intensity of the seismic wave, and the predicted path of propagation to the integrated safety monitoring devices (1200, 1300) of the first building (1) and the second building (2) where the earthquake is already occurring, and the first and second integrated safety monitoring devices (1200, 1300) can provide continuous earthquake information to the residents inside the first building (1) and the second building (2). For example, the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) can transmit the arrival information of subsequent S-waves and surface waves to all integrated safety monitoring devices (1200, 1300) within the system (1000) through the arrival information of the P-wave. In addition, the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) can predict the magnitude, expected direction of propagation, and speed of seismic waves by using information such as the difference in arrival times, maximum amplitude, and epicenter distance of P-waves and S-waves that first arrive at the same point after an earthquake occurs, and can provide earthquake information to the integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) within the system (1000). The artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) can perform earthquake analysis using the following [Equation 1] to [Equation 3].

[0136] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0137]

[0138] (A: Maximum amplitude of the earthquake record, △: Epicenter distance, C0, C1: Magnitude determination coefficients)

[0139] [Mathematical Formula 2]

[0140]

[0141] (A: Body wave amplitude, T: Body wave period, △: Epicenter distance, h: Focus depth, (△, h): Focus depth and epicenter distance correction coefficients)

[0142] [Mathematical Formula 3]

[0143]

[0144] (M0: Seismic moment (Nm), MW: Moment magnitude, μ: Shear modulus (Pa), A: Fault area (m2), D: Mean slip (m))

[0145] The artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) can increase the amount of labeling data through data augmentation if the amount of labeling data, for example, geological information, building vibration reduction device information and earthquake history information is insufficient, and can provide outputs for the velocity, intensity, and predicted path of earthquake waves through an algorithm of a deep neural network composed of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer.

[0146] Meanwhile, the device management unit (3400) searches the database unit (3100) based on event signals, building identification information, and device identification information received from the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) of a specific building (1, 2, …, N), for example, the primary device (1300) of the first building (1), identifies the location of the event occurrence and the manager, and transmits a message regarding real-time information about the event situation (time of event occurrence, place, location, and type of event, etc.) to the operation manager, relevant agency (5000), and guardian terminal (4000) via a wired / wireless communication network (2000). The message may be provided by attaching various multimedia information such as text, images, audio, and video using a Short Message Service (SMS), Long Message Service (LMS), and Multimedia Message Service (MMS), or the message regarding the event situation may be transmitted using a specific application under the control of the server control unit (3200). The above server communication unit (3500) enables the administrator server (3000) to communicate with the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300), guardian terminal (4000), and related agency (5000) through a wired or wireless communication network.

[0147] When the above-mentioned administrator server (3000) detects vibration from the 11th sensor for earthquake detection or vibration detection of the sensor module (1100) installed in the 1st building (1), it is transmitted to the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) of the section where the 11th sensor is installed, and the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) transmits whether vibration has been detected to the administrator server (3000). In this case, the integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) transmits information such as location information of the 1st building (1), unique identification information of the 11th sensor, and vibration detection time to the administrator server (3000) along with whether vibration has been detected. After the above 11th sensor detects vibration, the administrator server (3000) determines whether the 12th sensor of the 1st building (1) has detected vibration, and if the 12th sensor detects vibration or the operation of the 12th sensor is stopped due to a power outage, the administrator server (3000) determines that an earthquake has been detected in the 1st building (1).

[0148] When vibration is detected in any one of the second to Nth buildings (2, …, N) within the system (1000), the above process is repeated, and if an earthquake is detected in any one of the buildings, the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) of the administrator server (3000) performs a prediction of the speed, magnitude, and trajectory of the earthquake. For example, after an earthquake is detected in the first building (1), if vibration is detected by the 21st sensor for earthquake detection or vibration detection of the sensor module (1100) installed in the second building (2), it is transmitted to the integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) of the section where the 21st sensor is installed, and the integrated safety monitoring device (1200, 1300) transmits information such as the location information of the second building (2), the unique identification information of the 21st sensor, and the time of vibration detection, along with whether vibration was detected, to the administrator server (3000).

[0149] After the above 21st sensor detects vibration, it is determined whether the 22nd sensor of the above 2nd building (2) has detected vibration. If the 22nd sensor detects vibration or if the operation of the 22nd sensor is stopped due to a power outage, etc., the administrator server (3000) determines that an earthquake has been detected in the 2nd building (2). When an earthquake is detected in the above 1st building (1) and the 2nd building (2), the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) predicts the speed, intensity, and direction of progression of the earthquake using the location information of the 1st building (1) and the 2nd building (2) stored in the building information storage unit (3120), the geological information around the building stored in the geological information storage unit (3140), the earthquake history information, and the reduction rate data of the vibration reduction device stored in the building management storage unit (3160).

[0150] Based on these prediction results, the administrator server (3000) transmits the information predicted by the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) and the detected earthquake information to the building administrators, guardians, and relevant organizations stored in the device management unit (3400) under the control of the server control unit (3200).

[0151] Next, with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15, an earthquake path prediction method equipped with an integrated safety watch device for monitoring occupants inside a building according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0152] FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining an earthquake path prediction method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining a vibration detection operation in a first building according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0153] Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the earthquake prediction method of the present invention comprises i) operating a sensor module (1100) capable of detecting vibration in each of a plurality of buildings (1, 2, …, N) (S100). The sensor module (1100) may be provided in a plurality in each of the first building (1) to the nth building (1, 2, …, N). For example, the sensor module (1100) may be installed in each room or section of the first building (1) and may also be installed outside each of the buildings (1, 2, …, N). The sensor module (1100) installed outside the building (1, 2, …, N) may be an earthquake detection sensor or a vibration detection sensor, and when an earthquake occurs, the earthquake detection size of the earthquake detection sensor installed outside the building (1, 2, …, N) and the earthquake detection size detected inside the same building (1, 2, …, N) are compared to compensate for the vibration reduction rate of the vibration reduction device installed in the building (1, 2, …, N) and can be used to calculate the magnitude of the earthquake, i.e., the intensity.

[0154] Meanwhile, the earthquake detection sensor or vibration detection sensor may be installed as an embedded unit only in the primary device (1300) installed in each of the multiple buildings (1, 2, …, N). In this case, the compensation of the vibration reduction rate of the vibration reduction device can be calculated through the building material information entered in advance into the database unit (3100), and the earthquake detection sensor or vibration detection sensor installed outside the buildings (1, 2, …, N) may be omitted.

[0155] After the above step (S100), an earthquake is detected from a first event of vibration occurring in the first building (1) among the plurality of buildings (1, 2, …, N) (S110). When an earthquake is detected in the first building (1), a second event of vibration is detected in the second building (2) among the plurality of buildings (1, 2, …, N) (S120), and when the second event of vibration is detected in the above step (S120), it is determined that an earthquake has occurred (S130). In this case, if vibration is not detected in any of the plurality of integrated safety guard devices (1200, 1300) installed in the second building (2) in the above step (S130), and it is determined that the operation of at least one sensor module (1100) has stopped due to a power outage or an error has occurred (S140), it is determined that the operation is an error caused by an earthquake, and the administrator server (3000) determines that an earthquake has occurred (S130).

[0156] However, even if the vibration detected by the first integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) of the first building (1) in the above step (S120) is determined to be a vibration caused by an earthquake, if no vibration is detected by the sensor module (1100) of the second building (2) and there is no message of operation suspension or malfunction, it can be determined that a simple vibration situation has occurred only in the first building (1) (S150). In this case, information that there is no vibration detection and no error operation of the sensor module (1100) of the second building (2) is transmitted to the manager server (3000) to provide information to the manager (S160). Upon receiving the above information, the manager can send a message to the manager of the first building (1) to confirm the details regarding the earthquake determination.

[0157] Next, the first event signal of the first building (1) and the second event signal of the second building (2) are analyzed by the artificial intelligence analysis unit (3300) to generate earthquake information including the speed of the earthquake wave, the intensity of the earthquake wave, and the predicted path of progression (S170). After the above step (S170), earthquake information including the expected intensity of the earthquake wave and the estimated time of arrival is transmitted to the third integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) installed in the third building (3) which is spaced apart from the first building (1) and the second building (2) (S180), and the third integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) of the third building (3) outputs an earthquake warning broadcast to the residents inside through all integrated safety guard devices (1200, 1300) inside the third building (3).

[0158] Meanwhile, the step (S110) for determining an earthquake in the first building (1) includes operating the sensor module (1100) of the first building (1) (S200). Next, if vibration is detected by the 11th sensor (1100) of the first building (1) (S210), it is determined whether vibration is detected by the 12th sensor (1100) which is different from the 11th sensor (1100) (S220). If it is determined in the step (S220) that vibration is detected by the 12th sensor (1100), it is determined that an earthquake has been detected in the first building (1) (S230). After the above step (S230), the first integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) provides earthquake judgment information of the first building (1) to the second integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) of the second building (2) and the administrator server (3000), and provides earthquake occurrence information to the administrator (S240).

[0159] In the case of the above step (S220), if no vibration is detected by the 12th sensor (1100) but the earthquake or vibration detection operation of other sensors is stopped or an error occurs (S250), it is determined that an earthquake has been detected in the 1st building (1) (S230), and the 1st integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) provides earthquake determination information of the 1st building (1) to the 2nd integrated safety guard device (1200, 1300) of the 2nd building (2) and the administrator server (3000), and provides earthquake occurrence information to the administrator (S240). Alternatively, if it is determined in the above step (S250) that there is no malfunction of other sensors, it is determined that it is a simple vibration that occurred in the section to which the 11th sensor (1100) belongs (S260), and the content is transmitted to the administrator server (300) (S240).

[0160] Although the invention made by the inventors has been specifically described according to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist thereof.

[0161] By using the smart integrated safety guardian system and method for fire safety management, safety protection for elderly people living alone, and earthquake path prediction according to the present invention, it is possible to respond quickly and accurately in the event of a fire, monitor the movements of elderly people living alone, and notify a guardian of detailed information including the location of the site if there is no movement, and in the event of an earthquake, calculate the predicted path and magnitude of the earthquake to inform residents of buildings that have not yet been struck by the earthquake of the possibility of its occurrence and arrival in advance, thereby providing them with time to prepare.
