Multifunctional Multi-Outlet of Saving Electric Power and a Control Method Employing the Same
First Claim
1. A multifunctional multi-tap (concent) of intercepting a stand-by electric power comprising:
- an over-current circuit breaker for detecting and intercepting an over-current or a surge current generated due to an disorder of an appliance;
a power section for generating and outputting a motion voltage which is supplied to the parts inside of the multi-tap through the rectification, smoothing and voltage regulation process;
a motion condition setting part in which a user switches and sets the condition whether or not a sensor is used and whether an interlocking control or a single acting control is adopted, and which outputs the switching signal;
a sensor part for detecting a light or a body motion and outputting a signal accordingly;
a current detecting part for detecting a current flowing into an interacting or a single-acting appliance and outputting the detected signal;
a control part which receives the user'"'"'s switching signal for the selection of the interlocking/single-acting function and the detected signal, determines the detected signal of the sensor, and outputs an on/off control signal for controlling the appliance, which is led into each lead-in hole, as a standby state or a power-saving state according to the interlocking or single-acting condition;
and an output control part which receives the on/off control signal of the control part and supplies/intercepts the power current flowing into each lead-in holes.

Abstract
Disclosed is a multifunctional multi-tap (concent) of intercepting a stand-by electric power and a control method employing the same which prevent big fire generated by leakage current by performing an interlocking control and a single-acting control (separate control) in accordance with subordination of respective appliances using a illumination sensor or a body-detecting sensor. The multifunctional multi-tap (concent) detects a signal according, to an illuminance and a motion of body around respective lead-in holes activated as an interlocking control and a single-acting control using an illumination sensor or a body-detecting sensor, discriminates the detected signal by a controller, and controls the respective appliances as a stand-by state or a power-saving state in accordance with the interlocking control or the single-acting control.

17. A control method of a multifunctional multi-tap (concent) of intercepting a stand-by electric power comprises the steps of:
-
a) determining whether there is a change in light by a sensor;
b) setting a main lead-in hole as a standby state, in case that there is a change in light as a result of the determination;
c) determining which auxiliary lead-in hole is interlocked or single-acted;
d) determining whether or not the main lead-in hole is currently used, in case that a predetermined number of auxiliary lead-in holes are interlocked as a result of step (c);
e) turning on all of the predetermined number of the interlocked auxiliary lead-in holes in case that the main lead-in hole is currently used as a result of step (d);
f) turning off all of the predetermined number of the interlocked auxiliary lead-in holes in case that the main lead-in hole is not currently used as a result of step (d); and
g) turning off all of the predetermined number of the single-acted auxiliary lead-in holes, in case that a predetermined number of auxiliary lead-in holes are single-acted as a result of step (c). - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
