Abstract

Disclosed are 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.

Claims

1. A remote control and management device for a heating system using a smart phone application, comprising:

a room controller (R/C) configured to be equipped with a WIFI module for a wireless control and a LAN module for a wired control, receive unique data for server authentication, and control a plurality of device parts associated with an operation of a heating system;

a wireless router configured to receive the unique data stored in the room controller (R/C) through the WIFI module or the LAN module and access an integrated management server through the Ethernet to transmit the received unique data;

an integrated management server and a database configured to extract the unique data transmitted from the room controller (R/C), perform an authentication procedure, and store the unique data; and

an application configured to be installed in a smart phone of a user and when the unique data are input and a membership joining procedure is performed to complete an authentication procedure, connect the smart phone to the room controller through the integrated management server to perform a remote control and management of the heating system.

2. A remote control and management method for a heating system using a smart phone application, comprising:

transmitting unique data of a room controller (R/C) equipped with a WIFI module for a wireless control and a LAN module for a wired control to an integrated management server through a wireless router;

extracting the transmitted unique data from the integrated management server, performing an authentication procedure on devices and storing and registering the unique data in an integrated management server and a database;

inputting, by a user, the unique data of the device using a smart phone application (APP), inputting other essential information, and then performing a user authentication procedure by membership joining to store and register membership information in the integrated management server and the database; and

performing a remote control and management on a heating system by connecting the smart phone application to the room controller (R/C) through the integrated management server.
