Description

    STATEMENT REGARDING PRIOR DISCLOSURES
  • The present application is based on Korean Application No. 10-2013-0065444 which was filed on Jun. 7, 2013, and published on May 21, 2014, as Korean Application Publication No. 10-2014-0061209, which does not qualify as prior art under AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(b)(1)(A). A copy of the Korean application publication is attached hereto.
    • BACKGROUND
  • Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a remote control and management device for a heating system and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a remote control and management device for a heating system using direct communication of a room controller (R/C), in which a smart phone application (APP) suffering from an authentication procedure by an integrated management server and a wireless (WIFI)/wired (LAN) module are equipped, and a remote control and management method for a heating system using the same.
  • Generally, as a heating system, there are an individual heating system and temperature control systems for each room, in which the individual heating system is a system which includes combustion devices such as a boiler individually installed in each residential facility and distributes heating media generated by the combustion devices into each room and the temperature control system for each room is a system which supplies heat generated from a single large-scale heat production facility to individual residential facilities through a long outdoor pipe, allows the individual residential facilities to supply the heat to each room through a hot-water distributor, and then controls a valve attached to the hot-water distributor using separate temperature controllers installed in each room to individually adjust temperature of each room.
  • In the individual heating system or the temperature control systems for each room (hereinafter, referred to as ‘heating system’), in order for a user to conveniently control the temperature of each room, the temperature controllers are installed in each room to be able to control the temperature of each room.
  • However, according to the related art, to operate and stop the heating system or provide the temperature control thereof, a consumer needs to move to a place at which the temperature controllers, video phones, or wall pads for each room are installed so as to operate the heating system.
  • Therefore, when a user comes home from a visit for a long period of time in a state in which the heating system is not operated while in winter season in which heating is mostly used, the heating system is not working, and therefore he/she waits for much time to heat the house after directly operating the temperature controller.
  • In this case, when the heating system fails, it takes much time to apply A/S and repair the heating system, and therefore the consumer may feel considerable inconvenience.
  • Therefore, in the case of the recently developed heating system, a technology for controlling operation/stopping of a heating system is greatly developed and thus even though as the case in the past, a consumer does not directly operate a temperature controller, he/she may remotely operate the temperature controller using communication devices (including general wireless/wired phone, mobile phone, PCS, PDA, Internet, etc.).
  • Therefore, even though the consumer goes out, he/she accesses the heating system using the communication devices to monitor a state of the heating system and when the failure of the heating system occurs, a causal analysis thereon is immediately performed to rapidly and accurately cope with the failure of the heating system and thus the convenience of the consumer may be more improved.
