METHOD FOR SETTING TRANSMISSION CYCLE FOR
INFORMATION ON CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a remote management system of a
construction machinery, and more particularly, to a method for setting a transmission
cycle of information of a construction machinery for enabling a user or a provider to
directly set the transmission cycle of the information of the construction machinery
transmitted from a communication terminal connected with the construction machinery
to a control server.
Background Art
[0002] In general, in a remote management system of a construction machinery, a
communication terminal connected with a vehicle control device of a construction
machinery such as an excavator, a wheel loader, or the like transmits to a control server
by using a mobile communication network or a satellite communication network
information including engine rpm (radius per minute), battery voltage, the temperature
of cooling water, the temperature of oil, on/off sensing information of various switches,
on/off sensing information of solenoids or relays, error information (error code), an
operation time for each operation mode, an engine operation time, a filter/oil using time,
the pressures of a pump and a cylinder, fuel information, load rate information,
positional information, and the like of the machinery.
[0003] The communication terminal transmits the information of the construction
machinery to the control server at a predetermined transmission cycle and in general, a
provider that provides the remote management system previously estimates a monthly
communication cost of a level suitable for a customer and determines optimal values of
a monthly transmission data amount or the number of monthly transmission times for
each communication type according to the estimated monthly communication cost.
Further, the transmission cycle in the communication terminal is determined for each
data packet without departing from the optimal values and this is set as a default. For
example, a default value is set so that a data packet containing monitoring information,
packet A, is transmitted once a day and a data packet containing positional information,
packet B, is transmitted four times a day.
[0004] As described above, at present, the provider previously estimates the monthly
communication cost of the level suitable for the customer and information data is
transmitted only at the transmission cycle set as the default to suit the optimal values of
the monthly transmission data amount or the number of monthly transmission times for
each communication type according to the estimated monthly communication cost.
[0005] As a result, even though a customer who estimates a cost lower than the
communication cost estimated by the provider wants to further increase the transmission
cycle, the customer cannot additionally adjust the set transmission cycle at present.
[0006] Further, even though the customer wants to change a cycle value for
necessary information among information as necessary, the customer cannot
additionally adjust the cycle value, and as a result, the customer cannot change a
predetermined cycle value.

provider to directly set the transmission cycle of the information of the construction
machinery.
Technical Solution
[0008] In order to achieve the object, a method for setting a remote transmission
cycle of information of a construction machinery using a control server in the
construction machinery including a communication terminal according to the present
invention includes: receiving, by the communication terminal, a cycle value for each set
cycle value for each packet from the control server, and changing and setting a current
cycle value for each information data packet to the cycle value for each packet
transmitted from the control server when a request for setting the information
transmission cycle of the construction machinery is received from the control server to
the communication terminal; and transmitting the information data packets of the
construction machinery to the control server in accordance with the changed
transmission cycle value.
[0009] Further, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the
method may further include transmitting, by a user terminal, the selected packet
information to the control server when a user of the construction machinery selects each
packet for setting the transmission cycle of the information of the construction
machinery through the user terminal.
[0010] In addition, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention,
the method may further include: providing, by the control server, selectable charge
modes when selection for each packet for setting the transmission cycle of the
information of the construction machinery from the construction machinery user is
classified into communication charge modes transmitted from the communication
terminal to the control server and there is selection for setting each communication
charge mode, and transmitting a predetermined cycle value for each packet
corresponding to the selected charge mode when one charge mode of charge modes; and
changing and setting, by the communication terminal, the current cycle value for each
information data packet to the cycle value for each packet transmitted from the control
server and transmitting the information data packets of the construction machinery to
the control server in accordance with the changed transmission cycle value.
[0011] Moreover, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention,
the method may further include: providing, by the control server, selectable charge

terminal to the control server and there is selection for setting each communication
charge mode and transmitting the information on the selected charge mode to the
communication terminal when one charge mode of charge modes; and changing and
setting, by the communication terminal, the current cycle value for each information
data packet to the predetermined cycle value for each packet in accordance with the
charge mode transmitted from the control server and transmitting the information data
packets of the construction machinery to the control server in accordance with the
changed transmission cycle value.
[0012] Besides, a method for setting a remote transmission cycle of information of a
construction machinery using a control server in the construction machinery including a
communication terminal according to the present invention may include changing and
setting, by the communication terminal, current information data to a predetermined
cycle value for each packet when there is selection of a cycle value for each packet for
setting the transmission cycle of the information of the construction machinery through
the communication terminal from a user of the construction machinery or a
predetermined input device attached to the construction machinery; and transmitting
information data packets of the construction machinery to the control server in
accordance with the changed transmission cycle value.
[0013] Further, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the
method may further include transmitting, by the communication terminal, the selected
packet information to the control server when the user of the construction machinery
selects the cycle value for each packet for setting the transmission cycle of the
information of the construction machinery.
[0014] Moreover, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention,
the method may further include providing, by the communication terminal or the
predetermined input device attached to the construction machinery, selectable charge
modes when selection for each packet for setting the transmission cycle of the
information of the construction machinery from the construction machinery user is

mode is selected, changing and setting, by the communication terminal, a current cycle
value for each information data packet to a predetermined cycle value for each packet in
accordance with the selected charge mode when one of charge modes is selected, and

server in accordance with the changed transmission cycle value.
[0015] Besides, the method may further include previously setting, by the
communication terminal, cycle values for information data packets associated with an
error or theft for changing when an error or theft event occurs and transmitting the data
packets associated with the error and theft to the control server with the previously set
cycle value when it is sensed that the error and theft events of the construction machine
occur.
Advantageous Effects

provider selects a desired mode among the modes to set a transmission cycle, thereby
setting the transmission cycle in a mode suitable for a communication cost estimated by
himself/herself among various modes, not uniformly.
[0017] In addition, in the present invention, only a transmission cycle value for
necessary information can be changed by providing a method for the user or the
provider to directly set a transmission cycle value to thereby arbitrarily set the cycle
value according to a content of the necessary information.
[0018] Further, when a significant event such as theft occurs, all information
included in an information data packet associated with the occurred event is not
transmitted but only the necessary information can be included and transmitted to
thereby reduce a transmission data amount.

Mode of Invention
[0023] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be
described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted
that the same components refer to the same reference numerals anywhere as possible in
the drawings. In the following description, specific detailed matters will be described
and are provided to the more overall understanding of the present invention. Further,
in describing the present invention, well-known functions or constructions will not be
described in detail since they may unnecessarily obscure the understanding of the
present invention.
[0024] First, an internal configuration of a remote management system of a
construction machinery according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention
will be described with reference to FIG. 1.
[0025] Referring to FIG. 1, the remote management system of the construction
machinery includes a communication terminal 110 connected with the construction
machinery and a control server 150 remotely managing information of construction
machineries, and includes a user terminal 160 used for a user or a provider to set a
transmission cycle of the information of the construction machinery by accessing the
control server 150 through the Internet. At this time, the communication terminal 110
communicates with the control server 150 through a mobile communication network
140 or a satellite communication network 130.
[0026] First, the user terminal 160 as a terminal for communicating with the control
server 150 allows a customer or a provider which is an owner of the construction
machinery to access the Web of the control server 150 through an Interne network 162
by using the user terminal 160 and directly set the desired transmission cycle of the
information of the construction machinery. As the user terminal 160, all terminals that
can access the Internet network, such as a personal computer (PC), a mobile terminal, a
PDA, and the like may be used. As another exemplary embodiment, the user may
directly set the information transmission cycle of the construction machinery through an
input device (not shown) of the construction machinery 100.
[0027] An internal configuration of the control server 150 will be described below.
The control server 150 includes a transmission/reception unit 154, a memory unit 158,
and a control unit 152.
[0028] First, the transmission/reception unit 154 as a unit for transmitting/receiving
data through the satellite communication network 130 or the mobile communication
network 140 is shown as a unit having both transmission and reception functions in the
present invention, but may separately include a transmitter and a receiver.
[0029] The memory unit 158 stores the information of the construction machinery
100. The memory unit 158 stores an initially set transmission cycle value for each
information data packet. Further, at this time, the information data packet may be
classified into a first data packet containing monitoring information, a second data
packet containing operation time information, a third data packet containing an error
alarm, a fourth data packet containing positional information, a fifth data packet
containing filter/oil information, and a sixth data packet containing error history
information. The data packets have different cycles depending on a use frequency.
Although the information data packets are classified into six in the exemplary
embodiment of the present invention, the number of information data packet types may
be changed depending on a set-up.
[0030] Further, the initially set transmission cycle for each information data packet
is similarly stored even in the communication terminal 110. For example, referring to
FIG. 4, the first, second, and third data packets may be set 20 times per one week and
the fourth, fifth, and sixth data packets may be set 10 times per one week. Hereinafter,
in the exemplary embodiment, it will be described on the assumption that the initial set-
up is shown as in FIG. 4.
[0031] Further, the memory unit 158 includes a plurality of charge modes and stores
a cycle value for each of the information data packets in each of the charge modes.
The charge mode is a mode previously set by a provider. The cycle value for each data
packet previously set for each charge mode may be stored in the memory unit 158 of the
control server as described above, but may be stored not in the memory unit 158 but in a
memory unit 104 of the communication terminal 110. When cycle information for
each data packet previously set for each mode is stored in the memory unit 104 of the
communication terminal 110, and a user or the provider selects a predetermined charge
mode, the control server 150 transmits only the selected charge mode information to the
communication terminal 110 and the communication terminal 110 receiving the
corresponding information verifies the cycle information for each data packet according
to the corresponding charge mode through the memory unit 104 to change the
transmission cycle.
[0032] Meanwhile, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a case in
which the charge mode is previously set as three modes such as a minimum charge
mode, a medium charge mode, and a maximum charge mode will be described as an
example. The charge modes may be further subdivided depending on the set-up.
[0033] Herein, the minimum charge mode is a mode for setting a cycle for each data
packet to a minimum data amount cycle and for example, the provider may previously
set the first data packet to five times per one week, the second and third data packets to
ten times per one week, the fourth data packet to ten times per one week, and the fifth
and sixth data packets to be not sent, in regards to the cycle for each data packet set in
the minimum charge mode.
[0034] Further, the medium charge mode is a mode for setting the cycle for each
data packet to a medium data amount cycle and for example, the provider may
previously set each of the first, second, and third data packets to fifteen times per one
week and each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth data packets to ten times per one week, in
regards to the cycle for each data packet set in the medium charge mode.
[0035] Lastly, the maximum charge mode is a mode for setting the cycle for each
data packet to a maximum data amount cycle and for example, the provider may
previously set each of the first, second, and third data packets to thirty times per one
week and each of the fourth, fifth, and sixth data packets to twenty times per one week,
in regards to the cycle for each data packet set in the maximum charge mode.
[0036] The control unit 152 performs different controlling operations depending on
whether a set-up for each packet is selected or a set-up for each charge mode is selected,
from the user terminal 160. Hereinafter, the controlling operation with selection will
be described.
[0037] Controlling operation depending on set-up for each packet
[0038] The control unit 152 transmits the data packet including the cycle value for
each packet to the communication terminal 110 through the transmission/reception unit
154 by using the mobile communication network 140 or the satellite communication
network 130 when the set-up for each packet is selected from the user terminal 160 and
the cycle value for each packet is set.
[0039] That is, the cycle value for each packet selected by the user or provider is
transmitted to the communication terminal 110 of the construction machinery and a
program (firmware) of the communication terminal 110 that receives the corresponding
cycle value modifies parameter values stored therein. That is, there are values of

parameters A, B, C, D, E, and F respectively corresponding to the cycle values of the
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth state information and the values are modified.
Further, since the program of the communication terminal operates by referring to the
values of parameters A, B, C, D, E, and F, the transmission cycle of the terminal may be
changed.
[0040] Controlling operation depending on set-up for each charge
[0041] When the user terminal 160 selects a predetermined charge mode, the control
unit 152 performs an operation for changing the transmission cycle of the
communication terminal 110 so as to change each cycle for each information data
packet to the cycle for each packet depending on the selected charge mode.
[0042] As such, the method of changing the transmission cycle of the
communication terminal 110 depending on selection of the charge mode in the control
unit 152 includes a method of changing the transmission cycle by directly transmitting
the cycle value for each data packet corresponding to the selected charge mode to the
communication terminal 110 and a method of transmitting information on the selected
charge mode and verifying and changing each cycle value for each data packet for the
charge mode in the communication terminal 110.
[0043] The first method is a method that can be used when the cycle value for each
data packet depending on the charge mode is stored in the memory unit 158 of the
control server 150.
[0044] The control unit 152 verifies the cycle value for each data packet
corresponding to the selected charge mode through the memory unit 158, and transmits
the verified cycle value for each data packet to the communication terminal 110 of the
construction machinery by using the mobile communication network 140 or the satellite
communication network 130 to change the transmission cycle of the terminal.
[0045] Next, the second method is a method that can be used when the cycle value
for each data packet depending on the charge mode is stored in the memory unit 104 of
the communication terminal 110.
[0046] The control unit 152 transmits only the mode information of the information
on the selected charge mode to the communication terminal 110 by using the mobile
communication network 140 or the satellite communication network 130, such that in
the communication terminal 110, a terminal program modifies the internal parameters
by using the cycle value for each packet stored in the memory unit 104.
[0047] In the above description, the configuration to allow the user to select the
cycle value for each packet or charge mode through the user terminal 160 is described,
but the user may directly select the cycle value for each packet or the charge mode in
the construction machinery 100 through an input device of the communication terminal
110 or an instrument panel input device of the construction machinery 100. At the
time of selecting the cycle value for each packet or the charge mode in the construction
machinery 100, the communication terminal 110 changes and sets current information
data to the selected cycle value for each packet or charge mode without transmitting
cycle setting information from the control server 150 to the communication terminal
110 as setting the cycle through the user terminal 110.
[0048] A process of managing transmission of communication data of the
communication terminal 110 in the control server 150 configured as above will be
described with reference to FIG. 2.
[0049] Referring to FIG. 2, in step S200, the control server 150 allows the user
terminal 160 to access the control server 150 through the Internet network 162 to
examine whether selection for setting for each packet or for each mode.
[0050] If there is selection for setting for each packet, the process proceeds to step
S202 and if there is selection for setting for each mode, the process proceeds to step
S204.
[0051] In step S202, the cycle value for each packet is inputted into the control
server 150 from the user terminal 160 and the cycle value for each packet is set as the
inputted cycle value for each packet and the process proceeds to step S212, such that the
control server 150 transmits the set-up information for the transmission cycle to the
communication terminal 110.
[0052] Meanwhile, there is selection for setting for each mode, such that in the step
S204, the control server 150 examines which mode among the minimum charge mode,
the medium charge mode, and the maximum charge mode is selected. That is when
the user makes the selection for setting for each mode through the user terminal 160,
information on the selectable modes will be displayed through a screen and the user
selects one of the charge modes. In this case, the user terminal 160 transfers the
selected charge mode to the control server 150 to verify which mode is selected.
[0053] If the minimum charge mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S206, a
predetermined cycle value for each information data packet corresponding to the
minimum charge mode is verified, and the current cycle value for each packet is
changed and set to the verified cycle value for each packet. Thereafter, the process
proceeds to step S212 and the set cycle information for each packet is transmitted to the
communication terminal 110.
[0054] If the medium charge mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S208, a
predetermined cycle value for each information data packet corresponding to the
medium charge mode is verified, and the current cycle value for each packet is changed
and set to the verified cycle value for each packet. Thereafter, the process proceeds to
step S212 and the set cycle value for each packet is transmitted to the communication
terminal 110.
[0055] If the maximum charge mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S210, a
predetermined cycle value for each information data packet corresponding to the
maximum charge mode is verified, and the current cycle value for each packet is
changed and set to the verified cycle value for each packet. Thereafter, the process
proceeds to step S212 and the set cycle value for each packet is transmitted to the
communication terminal 110.
[0056] Hereinafter, referring back to FIG. 1, an internal configuration of the
communication terminal 110 will be described.
[0057] In the case of the internal configuration of the communication terminal 110,
the communication terminal 110 includes the control unit 102, the memory unit 104, a
mobile communication modem unit 106, a satellite communication modem unit 108,
and an interface 109 for interfacing data transmission and reception with the
construction machinery 100.
[0058] The mobile communication modem unit 106 is a modem for transmitting and
receiving data through the mobile communication network 140 and the satellite
communication modem unit 108 is a modem for transmitting and receiving data through
the satellite communication network 130. An example in which the communication
terminal 110 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes
both the satellite communication modem 108 and the mobile communication modem
106 to use both the satellite communication and the mobile communication is described,
but the communication terminal 110 may be configured to include one of both modems
to communicate through only the corresponding modem.
[0059] The memory unit 104 stores the cycle value for each information data packet.
Further, as described in the description of the memory unit 158 of the control server 150,
the cycle value for each information data packet may be previously stored in the
memory unit 104 for each charge mode according to the set-up.
[0060] The control unit 102 changes and sets the current transmission value for each
information data packet according to the cycle value for each packet received from the
control server 150 to the received cycle value for each packet, and transmits the
information data packets of the construction machinery to the control server 150
according to the changed and set transmission cycle.
[0061] Further, when receiving predetermined charge mode information from the
control server 150, the control unit 102 verifies the previously stored cycle value for
each information data packet according to the corresponding charge mode, changes and
sets the current cycle value for each packet to the verified cycle value for each packet as
the transmission cycle, and transmits the data packets including the information of the
construction machinery to the control server 150 according to each changed
transmission cycle value for each data packet.
[0062] A process of transmitting a state information data packet to the control server
150 according to the cycle value for each packet in the communication terminal 110
configured as above will be described with reference to FIG. 3.
[0063] Referring to FIG. 3, when the communication terminal 110 receives the data
packet including the cycle value for each packet transmitted to change the transmission
cycle from the control server 150 in step S300, the process proceeds to step S302, and
changes and sets the cycle value for each packet by using the received cycle value for
each packet and if not, the process proceeds to step S308.
[0064] In step S308, the communication terminal 110 examines whether the
information on the predetermined charge mode for changing the transmission cycle is
received.
[0065] If the predetermined charge mode information is received from the control
server 150, the process proceeds to step S310 in which the cycle value for each packet
corresponding to the received charge mode is verified, and the verified cycle value for
each packet is changed and set, and thereafter, the process proceeds to step S303.
[0066] In step S303 performed in steps S302 and S310, the communication terminal
110 transmits the information data packets according to the changed transmission cycle.
[0067] Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S304 to examine whether a
significant event occurs in the construction machinery 100. At this time, the
significant event represents an event such as an error or theft to frequently transmit the
corresponding state information regardless of the set cycle for each packet or charge
mode.
[0068] If it is sensed that the significant event occurs in the construction machinery
according to the examination result in step S304, the process proceeds to step S305 and
the communication terminal 110 verifies a transmission cycle value for information on
the corresponding event. Thereafter, the communication terminal 110 transmits a data
packet associated with the significant event to the control server 150 with the verified
transmission cycle value.
[0069] For example, in the case in which the error occurs as the significant event, the
third data packet containing the error alarm changes the transmission cycle to transmit
the third data packet with a predetermined transmission cycle associated with the error
occurrence event without depending on the predetermined set-up for each packet or set-
up for each mode. For example, the third data is transmitted at ten times per one week
in the minimum charge mode, but differently from that, the transmission cycle is
changed to be a cycle in which the third data is transmitted at seven times per one day.
[0070] Further, in the case in which the machinery is thieved as the significant event,
although the minimum charge mode is set and thus the fourth data packet containing the
positional information is set to be transmitted at ten times per one week, when the theft
event occurs, the control server 150 can verify event associated information more
specifically-by changing the cycle so as to transmit the fourth data packet more
frequently regardless of the set charge mode by changing the cycle so as to transmit the
fourth data packet at ten times per one day.
[0071] As described above, when the significant event occurs, the communication
terminal 110 may change a cycle for only the data packet associated with the
corresponding event and in addition, reduce a data amount of a packet associated with
the corresponding event. For example, the fourth data packet containing the positional
information may include various pieces of information such as longitude, latitude, time,
a direction, velocity, and the like, but in the case of theft, the direction and velocity
information are unnecessary, and as a result, only the longitude, latitude, and time
information are included in the fourth data packet to be transmitted except for the
unnecessary information. That is, only necessary information is included in the data
packet, such that the data amount may be reduced and transmitted.
[0072] Thereafter, when the communication terminal is off in step S306, the process
ends and if not, the process proceeds to step S3 00.
[0073] In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 3, the case in which cycle value set-up
for the significant event such as the error or theft event is stored in the communication
terminal 110 and when the significant event occurs, the data packets associated with the
error and the theft are transmitted to the control server 150 with a predetermined cycle
value in the communication terminal 110 has been described as an example.
[0074] However, the control server 150 examines whether the significant event
occurs in the construction machinery 100 and when it is sensed that the significant event
occurs, the control server 150 verifies the transmission cycle value for the information
associated with the corresponding event, such that the communication terminal 110 may
transmit the data packet containing the verified transmission cycle value to transmit the
data packets associated with the error and the theft with the received cycle value to the
control server 150.
[0075] Further, the cycle value is restored and set to the cycle value for each data
packet before the change again when the significant event is cancelled.
[0076] As described above, although certain exemplary embodiments of the present
invention has bee described in detail, it is to be understood by those skilled in the art
that the spirit and scope of the present invention are not limited to the certain exemplary
embodiments, but are intended to cover various modifications and changes without
departing from the gist.
[0077] Accordingly, since the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments are
provided to inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the present invention, it should
be understood that they are exemplary in all aspects and not limited and the present
invention is just defined by the scope of the appended claims.

The present invention relates to a method for setting a remote transmission
cycle of information of a construction machinery for enabling a user or a provider to
directly set the transmission cycle of the information of the construction machinery.
To this end, the present invention enables the user or provider to set the transmission
cycle for each information data packet. Further, the present invention previously
determines various modes (e.g., a minimum charge mode, a medium charge mode, and a
maximum charge mode) in which cycles of information data packets are set for each
charge and enables the user or provider to set the transmission cycle by selecting the
mode. Therefore, the user or provider can directly set the cycle for each packet or
select the charge mode in accordance with a content of desired information and a
desired communication cost condition.
