Recently, a variety of transportation means, etc. taking forms different from those of vehicles in accordance with autonomous driving and electrification have been proposed. For example, in accordance with diversified forms of traditional vehicles, a variety of vehicle forms configured through appropriate assembly of the forms of traditional vehicles according to purpose of use are being proposed, or a form configured to be driven on the ground and to be movable in the air through coupling of a drone to a vehicle is also being proposed.

Transportation means of various concepts including vehicles may be defined as a “transportation mobility object”. When such a transportation mobility object is connected to a desired area of a building, the transportation mobility object allows a user in the building to directly enter or exit the transportation mobility object. Furthermore, the transportation mobility object may be docked in a desired area of the building so that the transportation mobility object constitutes one space of the building.

For such functions, technology for enabling the transportation mobility object to freely move to and to be mounted or coupled to various areas of the building is required.

The above matters included in the present section are merely for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the disclosure and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that the matters form the related art already known to a person skilled in the art.

In the following description, embodiments including various characterized portions including various arrangements will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, various embodiments disclosed in the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the same or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals regardless of the numerals in the drawings and redundant description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, an interface system between a building and a transportation mobility object M according to the present disclosure is configured to enable various transportation mobility objects M including vehicles, etc. to move along an external wall 130 of a structure 100 and to enable the moved transportation mobility objects M to enter an interior of the structure 100.

Here, the structure 100 may be a building, and accordingly, may be configured through inclusion of multiple floors. Accordingly, a transportation mobility object M may be received in the interior of the structure 100 through a space portion 110 disposed at each floor of the structure 100. The space portion 110 may be a parking space configured to receive the transportation mobility object M or may form a living space. Furthermore, a door D may be provided at the structure 100, for selective closing of the space portion 110. The door D may be configured to be opened or closed in various manners such as a rotating manner, a sliding manner, etc.

Meanwhile, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the transportation mobility object M may include a vehicle or may include a transportation means including various forms other than those of vehicles. For example, the transportation mobility object M may include a scooter for one person, an urban air mobility craft, a drone, etc. Driving of the transportation mobility object M as described above may be manually controlled to enable the driver to directly mount the transportation mobility object M on a movement module 200 or may be automatically controlled to enable the transportation mobility object M to be mounted on the movement module 200. When the transportation mobility object M is mounted on the movement module 200 in the above-described manner, the transport module 200 may be automatically controlled, together with a support module 300, in the structure 100 so that the transportation mobility object M may move to the space portion 110 disposed at a particular position or may enter or exit an interior of the structure 100. In the instant case, movement of the movement module 200 may be achieved through control of a guide rail 120, the guide rail 120 and the support module 300 may be controlled through control of a controller 400, and the controller 400 may be configured for controlling driving of the transportation mobility object M through communication thereof with the transportation mobility object M.

That is, the controller 400 may manage and control movement of the transport module 200 and movement of the support module 300 through control of the guide rail 120, and may perform positioning control of the movement module 200 and the support module 300 through network communication to enable movement and mounting of the transportation mobility object M to be stably performed.

Furthermore, the controller 400 may take the form of a server, and accordingly, may be connected to the transportation mobility object M through network communication. Accordingly, it may be possible to directly control driving of the transportation mobility object M, opening of the door D, a display, a speaker, etc. The controller 400 as described above may be connected to a mobile terminal of the user or the driver through network communication to input control signals for movement, docking, control, etc. of the transportation mobility object M and to receive results of the control signal input.

Meanwhile, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide rail 120 may be provided at the external wall 130 of the structure 100, for movement of the movement module 200. The guide rail 120 as described above may extend to connect space portions 110 to one another. Accordingly, as the movement module 200, on which the transportation mobility object M is mounted, moves along the guide rail 120, the transportation mobility object M may move along the external wall 130 of the structure 100.

Thus, the movement module 200 may move along the guide rail 120 at the external wall 130 of the structure 100. Furthermore, since the movement module 200 is configured to mount the transportation mobility object M thereon, the movement module 200 may move the transportation mobility object M to one space portion 110 disposed at a particular position in the structure 100 as the movement module 200 moves along the guide rail 120 in a state of mounting the transportation mobility object M thereon.

Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the support module 300 is provided at the structure 100. The support module 300 may be provided at each space portion 110, and may be configured to be outwardly withdrawn from an inside of the space portion 110 or to be retracted into the inside of the space portion 110. Accordingly, when the movement module 200 enters the space portion 110 in a state of mounting the transportation mobility object M thereon, the support module 300 is outwardly withdrawn from the space portion 110 to receive the transportation mobility object M. When the support module 300 is subsequently retracted into the space portion 110 to be received in the inside of the space portion 110, together with the transportation mobility object M, the transportation mobility object M may enter the inside of the space portion 110.

As described above, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide rail 120 configured to form a path is provided at the external wall 130 of the structure 100 including a plurality of space portions 110, and the movement module 200 is configured to move along the guide rail 120, and, accordingly, the transportation mobility object M mounted on the movement module 200 may be moved to one space portion 110 disposed at a particular position. Furthermore, the support module 300, which is configured to move, to the outside or inside of the space portion 110, the transportation mobility object M moved by the movement module 200, is provided at each space portion 110. Accordingly, the support module 300 may receive the transportation mobility object M from the movement module 200, and may then introduce the transportation mobility object M into the inside of the space portion 110. Furthermore, the support module 300 may move the transportation mobility object M from the inside of the space portion 110 to the outside of the space portion 110 so that the transportation mobility object M may be subsequently moved to another position by the movement module 200.

The support module 300 may include a fork shape to receive the transportation mobility object M from the movement module 200. The support module 300 is designed not to include a portion overlapping with the movement module 200 to receive the transportation mobility object M from the movement module 200.

Thus, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, it may be possible to move the transportation mobility object M at the outside of the structure 100 by the movement module 200 and the support module 300, and accordingly, it is unnecessary to provide, at the transportation mobility object M itself, a means for moving the transportation mobility object M along a wall of a building. Furthermore, transportation mobility objects taking various forms may be stacked, and accordingly, expansion of technology may be possible.

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure as described above will be described in detail.

The guide rail 120 may include a first rail 121 extending in a lateral direction and a second rail 122 extending in an upward/downward direction thereof. Each of the first rail 121 and the second rail 122 is configured in a number of one or more, and a portion or all of the first rails 121 and the second rails 122 may be interconnected to form a path connecting the space portions 110 to one another.

The first rail 121 may extend in a horizontal direction at the structure 100, and the second rail 122 may extend in a vertical direction at the structure 100. Each of the first rail 121 and the second rail 122 may be provided in plural so that the plurality of first rails 121 and the plurality of second rails 122 may be disposed to form a path extending to each space portion 110. Furthermore, a portion of the first rails 121 and a portion of the second rails 122 may be interconnected to enable the movement module 200 to move to each space portion 110 along the first rails 121 and the second rails 122.

As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure of the guide rail 120 as described above, as shown in FIG. 4, the first rail 121 may be provided at a lowermost end portion or a bottom portion of the structure 100, and the second rail 122 may be provided in plural so that the plurality of second rails 122 is spaced apart from one another along the first rail 121, correspondingly to the space portions 110 disposed in the horizontal direction thereof.

That is, a single first rail 121 may be provided at the lowermost end portion of the structure 110 to extend in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of second rails 122 may be provided to be disposed along the single first rail 121. In the instant case, the second rails 122 are spaced apart from one another, correspondingly to the space portions 110 of the structure 100 disposed in the horizontal direction, to enable the movement module 200 to move to each space portion 110 along the second rails 122.

In the guide rail 120 according to the above-described embodiment, the plurality of second rails 122 may be connected to the single first rail 121, and the movement module 200 may be horizontally movable along the first rail 121 in a state of moving downwards along the structure 100, and may move to one space portion 110, which is a target space of the movement module 200, after moving vertically along the second rail 122 connected to the space portion 110.

In detail, the movement module 200 may move to the second rail 122 corresponding to the space portion 110, which is a target space, along the first rail 121, as shown in FIG. 4, and may then move vertically along the second rail 122 to reach the target space portion 110. In the instant case, the movement module 200 may further move to an upper portion of the space portion 110 to allow the support module to be withdrawn from the space portion 110. As shown in FIG. 6, the support module 300 may receive the transportation mobility object M from the movement module 200 after being withdrawn from the space portion 110. When the movement module 200 subsequently moves downwards along the second rail 122, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the transportation mobility object M mounted on the movement module 200 may be transferred to the support module 300. When the movement module 200 is subsequently separated from the space portion 110, as shown in FIG. 9, the support module 300 is retracted into the inside of the space portion 110, and, accordingly, the transportation mobility object M may be stored in the inside of the space portion 110.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the guide rail 120, the first rail 121 may be configured in plural so that the plurality of first rails 121 is spaced apart from one another in the up and down direction, and the second rail 122 may be configured in plural so that the plurality of second rails 122 is spaced apart from one another in the lateral direction while crossing at least one of the first rails 121.

That is, as shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of first rails 121 extending in the horizontal direction is spaced apart from one another in the vertical direction, and a plurality of second rails 122 extending in the vertical direction is spaced apart from one another in the horizontal direction, and, accordingly, the first rails 121 and the second rails 122 form a lattice structure. A portion of the first rails 121 and a portion of the second rails 122 are interconnected while crossing each other.

In the guide rail 120 according to the other embodiment, the first rails 121 and the second rails 122 form the lattice structure, as described above, and, accordingly, the space portion 110 of the structure 100 may be provided in plural in accordance with the lattice structure of the guide rail 120 so that the plurality of space portions 110 is spaced apart from one another. In the instant case, the movement module 200 may move to each space portion 110 along the guide rail 120.

In detail, when the transportation mobility object M is mounted on the movement module 200, as shown in FIG. 11, the movement module 200 may move along the first rails 121 and the second rails 122 to reach one space portion 110, which is a target space, as shown in FIG. 12. In the instant case, the path on which the movement module 200 moves along the first rails 121 and the second rails 122 may be set by the controller 400. When a plurality of movement modules 200 is present, the path of each movement module 200 may be set to be prevented from interfering with paths of the remaining movement modules 200 during movement of the movement modules 200.

When the movement module 200 moves to the target space portion 110, as described above, the support module 300 is then withdrawn from the space portion 110, and accordingly, enters a state in which the support module 300 can receive the transportation mobility object M from the movement module 200, as shown in FIG. 13. When the movement module 200 subsequently moves downwards, the transportation mobility object M mounted on the movement module 200 is transferred to the support module 300, as shown in FIG. 14. After the movement module 200 is separated from the space portion 110, as shown in FIG. 15, the support module 300 is retracted into the inside of the space portion 110, and, accordingly, the transportation mobility object M may be stored in the inside of the space portion 110 which is the target space.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide rail 120 may be applied to the structure 100 in accordance with various embodiments, and accordingly, is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Embodiments of the guide rail 120 may be diversely applied in accordance with the shape of the structure 100, the position of the space portion 110, etc.

Meanwhile, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide rail 120 may guide movement of the movement module 200 in various manners using a linear actuator, a rack-and-pinion, a chain, a track, etc.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as the guide rail 120, for example, a track may be employed. In the instant case, the movement module 200 may be configured to move along the track.

In detail, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 21, the guide rail 120 is formed with a plurality of ribs 123 disposed in a longitudinal direction of the guide rail 120 so that the ribs 123 move along a track when the guide rail 120 rotates along the track. Furthermore, the movement module 200 includes a movement portion 220 formed with connectors 221 each fitted between adjacent ones of the ribs 123 while contacting with the guide rail 120. Accordingly, the movement portion 220 may move in a rotation direction of the guide rail 120.

In the instant case, each rib 123 is formed to extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 120, and the connectors 221 are disposed on a surface of the movement portion 220 to take the form of a lattice so that the connectors 221 are fittable between adjacent ones of the ribs 123.

The guide rail 120 may be rotated by a driver 150, and the driver 150 may include a motor. Thus, the guide rail 120 rotates along a predetermined path as the guide rail 120 receives rotation force from the driver 150. Since the plurality of ribs 123 is formed at a surface of the guide rail 120, and the connectors 221 engageable with the ribs 123 are formed at the movement portion 220, the movement portion 220 may move along the guide rial 120 during rotation of the guide rail 120. When the guide rail 120 is configured in plural, the driver 150 as described above may be provided at each guide rail 120, and operation thereof may be controlled by the controller 400.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide rail 120 may be configured in plural, and the movement module 200 may move along each guide rail 120 to reach a target position in the structure 100.

For example, when the guide rails 120 are disposed to form an upper path, a lower path, a left path, and a right path, as shown in FIG. 16, the movement module 200 may move various paths along the guide rails 120 corresponding to respective paths. When a plurality of guide rails 120 forms paths in a plurality of directions, as described above, a cross area is formed among the guide rails 120 forming different paths, and the movement direction of the movement portion 220 may be changed in the cross area.

To the present end, the ribs 123 of the guide rail 120 may be formed to extend in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 120, and the connectors 221 formed at the movement portion 220 of the movement module 200 may be formed at the surface of the movement portion 220 to be disposed in a form of a lattice and to be fittable between adjacent ones of the ribs 123. Accordingly, the movement portion 220 may move together with the guide rail 120 in the rotation direction of the guide rail 120 as the connectors 221 are engaged with the ribs 123. When the movement portion 220 is disposed in a cross area among the guide rails 120 forming respective paths, the connectors 221 may be engaged with the ribs 123 of different ones of the guide rails 120 and may be moved to a selected one of the guide rails 120 because the connectors 221 are configured to be disposed in a form of a lattice.

FIG. 16 shows a state in which the movement portion 220 is connected to all of a guide rail 120a of an upper path, a guide rail 120b of a lower path, a guide rail 120c of a left path, and a guide rail 120d of a right path. In the instant state, the movement portion 220 is disposed in the cross area of the guide rail 120. Since the connectors 221 of the movement portion 220 are formed to include a lattice structure, all of the connectors 221 may be connected to the bar-shaped ribs 123 disposed in the cross area of the guide rail 120.

When the movement portion 220 is required to move to the upper path, as shown in FIG. 17, the guide rail 120a of the upper path rotates to move the movement portion 220 to the upper path. In the instant case, the guide rail 120b of the lower path may rotate in the same direction as the guide rail 120a of the upper path.

Accordingly, the movement portion 220 may move to the upper path, and the connectors 221 may pass among the ribs 123 formed at the guide rail 120c of the left path and the guide rail 120d of the right path. Accordingly, the movement portion 220 may smoothly move to the upper path without interfering with the guide rail 120c of the left path and the guide rail 120d of the right path.

In another example, when the movement portion 220 is required to move to the right path, as shown in FIG. 18, the guide rail 120d of the right path rotates to move the movement portion 220 to the right path. In the instant case, the guide rail 120c of the left path may rotate in the same direction of the guide rail 120d of the right path.

Accordingly, the movement portion 220 may move to the right path, and the connectors 221 may pass among the ribs 123 formed at the guide rail 120a of the upper path and the guide rail 120b of the lower path. Accordingly, the movement portion 220 may smoothly move to the right path without interfering with the guide rail 120a of the upper path and the guide rail 120b of the lower path.

Control of the guide rail 120 as described above is executed by the controller 400. It may be possible to move the movement module 200 along the structure 100 by previously identifying a target position to which the movement module 200 should move and scheduling rotation direction, driving timing, etc. of each guide rail 120 in accordance with the target position.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as described above, the connectors 221 of the movement portion 220 are constituted by a plurality of protrusions including a lattice shape, and the ribs 123 of the guide rail 120 are formed to include a straight bar shape, and, accordingly, the movement module 200 may move to various positions while changing a movement direction thereof along the guide rail 120 provided in plural.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 19, the movement module 200 may include a stacking portion 210 in addition to the movement portion 220. The stacking portion 210 may be formed to include an area configured for mounting the transportation mobility object M thereon. The stacking portion 210 may be coupled to the movement portion 220, and the movement portion 220 may be connected to the guide rail 120.

The stacking portion 210 may be formed to include a pallet shape, and may be formed with a plurality of slits. Furthermore, the stacking portion 210 may be exposed outwardly of the external wall 130 of the structure 100, and may move along the external wall 130. The stacking portion 210 may include an area configured for mounting the transportation mobility object M thereon, and may include a rigid body to support the weight of the transportation mobility object M. Various reinforcement structures such as ribs, a reinforcement material, etc. may be applied to the stacking portion 210.

The movement portion 220 may be connected to the guide rail 120, and the stacking portion 210 may be coupled to the movement portion 220. The stacking portion 210 and the movement portion 220 may be integrally fabricated or may be separately fabricated and may then be coupled to each other. Through such a configuration, the movement module 200 may move the transportation mobility object M mounted on the stacking portion 210 when the movement portion 220 moves along the guide rail 120.

In detail, the guide rail 120 may be provided at the inside of the external wall 130 of the structure 100. An open passage 140 may be formed at the external wall 130 of the structure 100 to extend along the guide rail 120. The movement portion 220 may be connected to the guide rail 120 at the inside of the external wall 130, and the stacking portion 210 may be connected to the movement portion 220 through the passage 140 at the outside of the external wall 130.

As shown in FIGS. 19 to 21, the structure 100 is provided with a space at the inside of the external wall 130, and the guide rail 120 and the movement portion 220 of the movement module 200 connected to the guide rail 120 are provided at the space.

Furthermore, the passage 140 is formed at the external wall 130 of the structure 100 to extend along the guide rail 120 while being matched with the guide rail 120. The passage 140 is a throughout portion of the external wall 130, and, accordingly, the outside and the inside of the external wall 130 communicate with each other through the passage 140.

Through the above-described configurations, in the movement module 200, the movement portion 220 thereof may be connected to the guide rail 120 at the inside of the external wall 130 so that the movement portion 220 may move in the space at the inside of the external wall 130, and the stacking portion 210 may be connected to the movement portion 20 while passing through the passage 140 from the outside of the external wall 130 so that the stacking portion 210 may move together with the movement portion 220.

In the instant case, the movement portion 220 may be provided with a bearing 230 disposed between the external wall 130 and the guide rail 120 at the inside of the external wall 130 to roll on an internal surface of the external wall 130.

That is, the movement portion 220 is connected to the guide rail 120 at the inside of the external wall 130 and is supported by the external wall 130 via the bearing 230. In the instant case, the bearing 230 is a linear roller bearing, and various bearing structures may be employed for the bearing 230. In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a ball bearing may be employed. The bearing 230 as described above may be provided at the movement portion 220. As the bearing 230 rolls while contacting with the internal surface of the external wall 130, the movement portion 220 may form a stable support structure between the guide rail 120 and the external wall 130, and accordingly, friction of the movement portion 220 on the external wall 130 may be reduced during movement of the movement portion 220. Accordingly, the movement portion 220 may smoothly move along the guide rail 120.

Meanwhile, the movement portion 220 may be formed to include a greater width than that of the passage 140, and accordingly, may be formed so that a portion thereof overlaps with the external wall 130.

As shown in FIG. 20, the movement portion 220 may be formed to be greater than the passage 140, and may secure an area enabling a portion of the movement portion 220 to overlap with the external wall 130 even in a cross portion of the passage 140. Accordingly, it may be possible to prevent the movement portion 220 from being separated from the passage 140. The movement portion 220 may be formed to have various shapes including a circular shape and a quadrangular shape and may be formed to include an area preventing the movement portion 220 from being separated from the passage 140 even when the movement portion 220 is disposed at any portion of the passage 140. Furthermore, the movement portion 220 may be maintained in a state of contacting with the external wall 130 of the structure 100 via the bearing 230 during movement thereof along the guide rail 120.

Meanwhile, the support module 300 may be configured to be slidable at a lower portion of the space portion 110 so that the support module 300 is slidable between the inside and the outside of the space portion 110.

Although the support module 300 may be rotatably provided at the structure 100, it is difficult to secure a rotation radius of the support module 300 at the structure 100 in the instant case. Furthermore, when the support module 300 receives the transportation mobility object M from the movement module 200, transfer of the transportation mobility object M is possible only in a state in which the support module 300 rotates to a final deployment position, and accordingly, operation efficiency may be degraded. To the present end, the support module 300 may be configured to move between the inside and the outside of the space portion 110 at the structure 100 through sliding.

The sliding operation of the support module 300 may be achieved through application of a rail to the lower portion or a bottom surface of the space portion 110. In the instant case, the support module 300 may be movable along the rail. The sliding operation of the support module 300 may be achieved in various manners using a linear actuator, a rack-and-pinion, etc.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 22, a first slit S1 may be formed at the support module 300, and a second slit S2 may be formed at the stacking portion 210. The first slit S1 may be opened outwardly of the space portion 110 while extending outwardly of the space portion 110, and the second slit S2 may be opened inwardly of the space portion 110 while extending inwardly of the space portion 110 in a state in which the movement module 200 has moved to the space portion 110.

The support module 300 includes an area configured for mounting the transportation mobility object M thereon, and the first slit S1 may be formed in plural in the area. Furthermore, the stacking portion 210 may include an area configured for mounting the transportation mobility object M thereon, and the second slit S2 may be formed in plural in the area.

In the instant case, the first slits S1 may be disposed at the support module 300 to be spaced apart from one another with a predetermined distance, and the second slits S2 may be disposed in the stacking portion 210 to be spaced apart from one another with a predetermined distance while crossing the first slits S1. That is, both the first slits S1 and the second slits S2 may be formed to extend toward the structure 100 while being vertically opened. Furthermore, the distance between adjacent ones of the first slits S1, which are spaced apart from one another at the support module 300, and the distance between adjacent ones of the second slits S2, which are spaced apart from one another at the stacking portion 210, are equal, and the first slits S1 and the second slits S2 may be disposed to be misaligned from each other so that the first slits S1 and the second slits S2 do not overlap each other.

Accordingly, when the movement module 200 moves vertically along the guide rail 120 toward the support module 300 in a state in which the support module 300 is withdrawn from the space portion 110, the movement module 200 may freely pass through the support module 300.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 23 to 25, when the movement module 200 moves downwards in a state in which the transportation mobility object M has been mounted on the stacking portion 210 of the movement module 200 and the support module 300 has been withdrawn from the space portion 110, the stacking portion 210 passes through the movement module 200 as the first slits S1 of the support module 300 and the second slits S2 of the stacking portion 210 pass through each other. In the instant case, the transportation mobility object M mounted on the stacking portion 210 is transferred to the support module 300 in the procedure in which the stacking portion 210 passes through the support module 300.

Thus, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, it may be possible to transfer the transportation mobility object M to the support module 300 only through vertical movement operation of the movement module 200.

In the interface system between the building and the transportation mobility object M according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the space portion 110 may be provided in plural so that the plurality of space portions 110 is disposed in upward, downward, left and right directions at the structure 100 to take the form of a lattice, and the guide rail 120 may be provided in plural so that the plurality of guide rails 120 extend along edge portions of the space portions 110, respectively, while crossing one another at corners c of the space portions 110.

Referring to FIG. 10, the space portions 110 may be disposed at the structure to take the form of a lattice, and the guide rails 120 may extend along the edge portions of the space portions 110, and accordingly, may take a form partitioning the space portions 110. Accordingly, the guide rails 120 are connected to one another while crossing one another at the corners c of the edge portion of each space portion 110.

Through such configurations, the movement module 200 may move to each space portion 110 provided at the structure 100 while moving along the guide rails 120.

In the instant case, the movement portion 220 of the movement module 100 may be configured in a pair so that the movement portions 220 are spaced apart from each other by the distance between the corners c of one space portion 110 linearly spaced apart from each other. Accordingly, the movement module 200 may be structurally stable because the movement portion 220 thereof is provided in a pair. Furthermore, since the pair of movement portions 220 is spaced apart from each other by the distance between the corners c of one space portion 110 horizontally linearly spaced apart from each other, the movement module 200 may move not only in a horizontal direction, but also in a vertical direction.

Hereinafter, movement of the guide rail 120 in horizontal and vertical directions will be described with reference to one space portion 110. As the pair of movement portions 220 is provided at the guide rails 120 extending in the vertical direction at opposite sides of the space portion 110, respectively, the movement portions 220 may move in the vertical direction. In the instant case, the guide rails 120 extend along the edge portion of the space portion 110 while crossing each other at each corner c of the space portion 110. Accordingly, when the pair of movement portions 220 is required to move in the horizontal direction, the pair of movement portions 220 is disposed at the corners c spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction, respectively, and, accordingly, the movement direction thereof may be changed to the horizontal direction.

To the present end, the guide rails 120 may take the form of a lattice to partition the space portions 110, and may extend to include at least two of a left side L1, a right side L2, an upper side L3, or a lower side L4 forming the edge portion of each space portion 110.

That is, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the space portions 110 are disposed in a form of a lattice, and the guide rails 120 extend to take the form of a lattice, and accordingly, may be formed to include a quadrangular shape. In the instant case, the guide rails 120 may include at least two of a plurality of sides forming the edge portion of each space portion 110 so that the pair of movement portions 220 may smoothly move along the guide rails 120. For example, the guide rails 120 may be provided at only the left side L1 and the right side L2 of the edge portion of one space portion 110 to form a path only in the vertical direction, and may be provided at only the upper side L3 and the lower side L4 of the edge portion of another space portion 110 to form a path only in the horizontal direction thereof.

Thus, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the guide rails 120 may be formed to take the form of lattices including the same length, and the pair of movement portions 220 may move along lattice-shaped paths formed by the guide rails 120, moving the transportation mobility object M to any one of the space portions 110.

Meanwhile, the guide rails 120 provided at respective sides of each space portion 110 may be individually provided and may rotate along a track by the driver 150.

The guide rail 120 is rotated by the driver 150, and the driver 150 may include a motor. Accordingly, the guide rail 120 rotates along a predetermined path in accordance with rotation force received from the driver 150. The guide rail 120 may be configured in plural, and, accordingly, the driver 150 may be individually provided at each guide rail 120. Furthermore, operation of each driver 150 may be controlled by the controller 400.

Meanwhile, the stacking portion 210 may include a pair of supports 211 extending toward the external wall 130 of the structure 100. The supports 211 may be connected to the pair of movement portions 220, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the stacking portion 210 may be connected to the movement portion 220 by the supports 211. As the supports 211 pass through the passage 140 formed at the external wall 130, the stacking portion 210 and the movement portion 220 may move in a state in which the stacking portion 210 is exposed outwardly of the external wall 130 and the movement portion 220 contacts with the guide rail 120 at the inside of the external wall 130. In the instant case, the movement portion 220, the stacking portion 210, and the supports 211 forming the movement module 200 may be integrally fabricated or may be separately fabricated and may then be coupled together.

In accordance with the interface system between the building and the transportation mobility object M in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to move the transportation mobility object M along the external wall 130 of the building so that the transportation mobility object M is moved to a desired area.

Furthermore, the transportation mobility object may enter the interior of the building and may subsequently exit the building to be transported to an area of another required building.

Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure have been included for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure as included in the accompanying claims.
