Abstract

Air pollution caused by industrial development has become a level that can seriously threaten human health. In general, indoor air pollution is considered to be lower than outdoors, but modern people live indoors most of the time, thus it is essential to keep the indoor air quality comfortable in order to take care of one's own health and improve the quality of life. Therefore, the development of an indoor environment management platform using Internet of Things and data processing technology, which is currently drawing attention, is considered a very meaningful study. In this paper, we designed an IoT-based management platform that can remotely monitor and control indoor environments. In addition, the functions of the IoT terminal, gateway, and data server constituting the platform were implemented using open source and open libraries, and all functional operations were also verified. In particular, the IoT terminal and the gateway in this paper exchange data using BLE communication, so they can operate with relatively low power and since the gateway uses the BLE Advertising mode, it has the advantage of automatically recognizing IoT terminals that have not been previously configured.

산업 발전에 따른 대기 오염은 인간의 건강을 크게 위협할 만한 수준이 되었다. 일반적으로 실내 공기 오염이 실외보다는 낮다고 생각하지만, 현대인들은 대부분의 시간 동안 실내에서 생활하기 때문에, 자신의 건강을 지키고 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서는 실내 공기 품질을 쾌적하게 유지하는 것이 필수적이다. 따라서, 현재 주목받고 있는 사물인터넷, 데이터 처리 기술을 활용한 실내환경 관리 플랫폼 개발은 매우 의미 있는 연구라고 생각된다. 본 논문에서는 원격에서 실내환경을 모니터링하고 제어할 수 있는 IoT 기반의 관리 플랫폼을 설계하였다. 또한, 플랫폼을 구성하는 IoT 단말, 게이트웨이, 데이터 서버의 기능을 오픈소스와 공개 라이브러리를 이용하여 구현하였고, 기능 동작도 모두 확인하였다. 특히, 본 논문의 IoT 단말과 게이트웨이는 BLE 통신을 이용하여 데이터를 교환하기 때문에 상대적으로 저전력으로 동작할 수 있으며, 게이트웨이는 BLE Advertising 모드를 사용하여 미리 설정하지 않은 IoT 단말을 자동 인식할 수 있는 장점이 있다.
