The present invention relates to a sensing device of an emotion signal and a method thereof capable of recognizing and analyzing the change in emotion by collecting at least one of the bio signals and peripheral environmental signals, guiding the state of emotion to a user, and sharing emotion information with authorized persons and communicating it between them. The sensing device of the emotion signal according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a sensing signal processor that senses a plurality of bio signals and peripheral environment signals of a user; an emotion signal processor that generates emotion signals representing the emotional state of the user for each of the sensed bio signals and collects the emotion signals to generate an emotion index; and an emotion signal communication unit that optionally transmits the emotion signals and the emotion index to external authorized devices.

Sensing device of emotion signal and method thereof

Provided are a home network client and server including an energy-away control element (ECE), and a control method thereof. A client advertises an ECE serving as a functional block of each service unit. The advertisement is recognized and the ECE is registered by a plug and play method. An ECE to be controlled is searched and selected among registered ECEs. State checking and management are performed on the selected ECE. The ECE is defined by each service unit in the home network server and client, and energy is controlled for each ECE, so that the energy consumption can be reduced.

Home network client and server including energy-away control element and control method thereof

Provided are an apparatus and method for controlling home appliances using zigbee wireless communication. The apparatus, includes: a memory for storing a control profile and an operation program, and operating the stored operation program; a display means for supporting interface with a user; a display input/output control means for controlling input/output of the display means; a first wireless network interface for transmitting/receiving wireless data to/from home appliances based on zigbee wireless communication; and a control means for forming Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) with the home appliances based on the first wireless network interface, displaying a list of controllable home appliances based on device product information transferred from the home appliances through the WPAN, reading a control profile in the memory upon home appliances control request of the user, and transferring the control profile through the first wireless network interface.
