Description

Facility management system and method using electronic pen and smart tag

The present invention discloses a facility management system and method using an electronic pen and a smart tag.

In a factory or plant, facilities such as various types of facilities or devices are installed and operated, and these facilities must be periodically inspected and managed. Facility maintenance refers to various measures taken to preserve the function of a completed facility. Management is carried out in the form of performing repair work or replacing the facility when necessary by identifying the state and degree of deterioration of the facility through periodic inspection of the facility. Facilities are subject to periodic inspections in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and emergency inspections or regular inspections are conducted from time to time depending on the location or installation environment of the facilities. The purpose of this inspection is to detect damage and defects in facilities at an early stage to prevent the expansion of damage and accidents.

Maintenance of these facilities is carried out by a manager directly touring the site, checking the operation status of the facility, recording the confirmation result on a recording sheet having a predetermined format, returning to the management room, and then inputting the contents recorded on the recording sheet back into an electronic device such as a server or terminal. Therefore, in the conventional facility management method, there is an inconvenience in that the manager has to directly input the inspection details again into the electronic device, and there is a risk of causing an incorrect result if an error occurs during input.

Meanwhile, technologies and products capable of recognizing a user's handwriting using an electronic pen and digitizing and storing the recognized contents have recently been commercialized. In this regard, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0045535 (prior literature) introduces 'an electronic pen, an electronic device interlocking with the electronic pen, and a method for controlling the electronic device'.

The prior document has a configuration in which a user's handwriting is recognized and reproduced in an electronic device, and includes a recording paper that provides a surface for recording desired information using an electronic pen, an electronic pen that detects information about handwriting and generates pen data, and an electronic device that receives and interprets pen data from the electronic pen and reproduces the handwriting through a display.

The principle of recognizing and reproducing handwriting in the prior literature is that the recording paper is a standardized form, and patterns capable of recognizing writing information such as the direction, position, and document code of the writing are created in advance on the surface of the recording paper, and a standardized document file of the same format corresponding to the document of the corresponding recording paper is stored in advance in the electronic device, and the electronic pen is configured to collect the pattern of the recording paper and transmit it to the electronic device. According to this configuration, when writing on a recording paper with an electronic pen as shown in FIG. 1A, the electronic pen generates pen data including position, direction, and document code, and after receiving the pen data from the electronic device, the electronic device reads a document file corresponding to the recording paper as shown in FIG.

In the handwriting recognition and reproduction system of the prior literature, information recorded by a user on a document (recording paper) is automatically databased as a file in an electronic device, thereby providing convenience in that the user does not have to manually input the information recorded in the document into the electronic device. However, the handwriting recognition and reproduction system of the prior literature only targets standardized documents in a specific format, and has limitations in that it cannot be applied to unstructured general documents.

In addition, the handwriting recognition and reproduction system in the prior literature reproduces the writing content only in the same standardized document as the recording paper. When the handwriting recognition and reproduction system is applied to a facility management system, it can only be checked through a document file through an electronic device. Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that it is insufficient to quickly and accurately check the operating state of the facility.

In detail, the smart tag 100 is an off-line recording sheet on which a user inspects a facility and then records the inspection details, and may be a document in the form of a tag carried by the user or attached to the facility. In the smart tag 100, matters requiring inspection of the corresponding facility are classified into a plurality of contents and displayed. For example, contents capable of checking information such as an operating state and a load factor may be displayed.

In addition, the smart tag 100 is configured to collect the information recorded when the inspection details are recorded using the electronic pen 200 from the electronic pen 200, and for this purpose, the electronic pen 200 can recognize the code pattern is formed on the surface. The code pattern is divided into a plurality of unit cells, and within each unit cell, it may be composed of fine patterns printed in a two-dimensional structure so as to identify smart tag information, cell information, location information, and route information. The code pattern is not limited thereto and may be composed of various types of patterns as long as the electronic pen 200 recognizes handwriting and generates pen data. The smart tag information includes information about a facility to which the corresponding smart tag 100 is attached.

The electronic pen 200 is a component that records information on the smart tag 100 . The electronic pen 200 includes an input module for user manipulation, a sensor module capable of generating pen data by recognizing a code pattern of the smart tag 100, and a communication module transmitting the generated pen data to a management terminal. The sensor module may be composed of a camera unit for obtaining an image of a code pattern, and the communication module may be composed of a wired communication unit such as a UCB terminal or a wireless communication unit such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The type of the electronic pen 200 is not limited as long as it is configured to generate pen data by recognizing a code pattern.

The management terminal 300 is a component that collects information recorded on the smart tag 100 from the electronic pen 200, analyzes it, and reproduces it again through a display. The management terminal 300 is a terminal having a display function, and may be, for example, a computer, laptop, smart phone, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be various types of servers or devices capable of managing factories or facilities in a plant. The management terminal 300 may receive and analyze the pen data of the electronic pen 200 to reproduce and display the data in real time, or may store the data in a storage module and replay the data later.

The pen data reproduction unit 350 reproduces user record information in the graphic template 120 and document template 130 of the displayed tag file 100' based on the analyzed user record information. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the pen data reproducing unit 350 graphically displays the safety, boundary, danger, etc. of the facility state in the graphic template 120 based on the user record information, and records and displays the contents recorded in the smart tag 100 in document form in the document template 130. At this time, the photo template 110 displays a real photo of the corresponding facility together.

Therefore, the user can check the facility inspection result in a simple document format through the management terminal 300, and also check the facility status in a graphic format while viewing a photo image of the actual facility, so that the facility inspection result can be conveniently and accurately checked.

The DB storage unit 360 stores pen data, an original tag file, and a tag file in which the pen data is reproduced, and provides the stored database to the display unit 340 according to a user's request.

On the other hand, referring to FIG. 5 , in the facility management system configured as described above, when inspecting a factory or a facility inside a plant, a user (inspector) directly checks the facility and inputs inspection results such as the operating state and load factor of the facility into the smart tag 100 attached to each facility with the electronic pen 200. At this time, the input of the check result may be performed by checking specific content displayed on the smart tag 100 or recording the content in the content. For example, the smart tag 100 may provide STOP, PAUSE, and RUN contents to check an operating state, and gauge contents to check a load factor.

In this way, after the facility inspection result is input to the smart tag 100, the input record information is collected by the electronic pen 200 and transmitted to the management terminal 300, and the management terminal 300 analyzes the pen data transmitted from the electronic pen 200 and reproduces the inspection result in the tag file 100'. At this time, the management terminal 300 reproduces the inspection result in various ways through the facility photo template 110 , the graphic template 120 and the document template 130 .

Hereinafter, a facility management process performed in the management terminal having the above configuration will be described in detail. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a facility management method according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6 , first, the pen data receiving unit 310 collects pen data transmitted from the electronic pen 200 (S11). Pen data is transmitted from the electronic pen 200 to the management terminal 300 according to a user's manipulation. To this end, the electronic pen 200 and the management terminal 300 are connected through a wired/wireless communication module. In addition, pen data transmission between the electronic pen 200 and the management terminal 300 may be performed in real time as the user records the facility inspection result in the smart tag 100 .

The pen data analyzer 320 analyzes the collected pen data to specify smart tags and facilities, as well as user record contents (S12). Since the pen data includes smart tag information, cell information, location information, and route information, the pen data analyzer 320 can specify the smart tag, facility, and user record contents based on these information.

In addition, the tag file extraction unit 330 extracts the tag file 100' corresponding to the facility specified by the pen data analysis unit 320 from the DB storage unit 360 (S13), and the display unit 340 displays the extracted tag file 100' on the management terminal (S14). At this time, since the tag file 100' includes a photo template 110, a graphic template 120, and a document template 130, these templates are displayed on one screen.

When the tag file 100' is displayed, the pen data reproduction unit 350 records and displays user record information in the tag file based on the analyzed pen data (S15). At this time, the same information as the content recorded in the smart tag 100 is recorded in the document template 130 in a document format, and the graphic template 120 displays state information of the corresponding facility graphically. Therefore, the user can simultaneously check the facility inspection result through the photo template 110 , the graphic template 120 and the document template 130 .

The tag file 100' in which the pen data is reproduced is separately stored as a DB file (S16).

In this way, by using an electronic pen and a smart tag to automatically store and manage the facility inspection results in the plant and reproduce them in the management terminal, it is possible to eliminate the hassle of directly inputting and managing the inspection results, and since errors do not occur during the input process, it is possible to prevent malfunction, damage, and accidents of facilities due to errors.

Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described as described above, various modifications and other embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art. All of these modifications and other embodiments are to be considered and included in the appended claims without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present invention.
