The present invention separately includes a push server which enables a notification message regarding occurrence of an event to be received even though a smart home application is turned off in a mobile terminal. The present invention receives a notification message using the push server, and resource information corresponding to an event of a home device is included in the notification message which is transmitted from the push server to the mobile terminal.

Method and device for event notification in home network system

An apparatus and method by which a user device in a home network system transmits home-device-related information is provided. The method includes acquiring, from at least one home device, a unique user identifier (UUID) for a related home device, a peer ID (peer ID) which is managed by a connectivity server for managing a connection between the user device and the related home device and that identifies the related home device, a peer group ID for identifying a group of home devices that have registered with a service server for managing device information on the related home device, and a device token containing key information for authenticating the connection to the related home device, selecting a specific user device which will share the UUID, peerID, peer group ID and device token from among neighboring devices, and transferring the UUID, peerID, peer group ID, and device token to the specific user device on the basis of a predetermined sharing method.

Apparatus and method by which user device in home network system transmits home-device-related information

The present invention relates to a technology for a sensor network, machine to machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and Internet of things (IoT). The present invention may be used for an intelligent service (smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, etc.) on the basis of the technology described above. The present invention relates to an operation method of a device in a communication system, the method comprising a step of transmitting at least one among a device identifier (ID) of the device and position information of the device to another device, wherein the at least one among the device ID of the device and the position information of the device is registered in a server connected to the another device, and the device ID and the position information are generated on the basis of operation commands for the another device.

Position estimation device and method in communication system

To solve the problems that may occur due to the leakage of user account information, the present disclosure may manage the security using the device token that is used independently of that of the server, that is generated by a home device, and that can be used for device authentication when a smart phone controls home appliances. With the use of the device token, the present disclosure may solve the problems that the status information of home appliances is exposed by another person or the home appliances are controlled by another person, even though the user account information is leaked.

Authenticating home device using device token issued based on identifier of terminal

A method and apparatus for controlling devices for a smart home service are provided. The method includes grouping devices to receive at least one command simultaneously from among devices registered to the smart home service into a group for one mode, generating mode configuration information for each mode including grouped devices for the mode and at least one command for the mode, transmitting the mode configuration information for each mode to the registered devices, selecting one of each mode for which the mode configuration information has been generated, and transmitting a mode activation request for activating the selected mode to the registered devices.

Method and apparatus for controlling devices for smart home service

The present invention relates to a method for registering a home device of a home network system in a server, the method comprising: receiving an access token from an account server managing an account for a control device; receiving a peer identifier (peer ID) identifying the home device and a peer group identifier (peer group ID) identifying a group of home devices from the control device; and logging into a connectivity server managing the connection between the home device and the control device on the basis of the access token, the peer ID, and the peer group ID.

Apparatus and method for registering home device in server in home network system

Methods and apparatuses are provided for managing access information for registration of a device in a smart home service. A validity period of a refresh token for updating an access token of a first device, from a device list for the smart home service, registered in a connectivity server, is checked, when the device list is received from a server. The server is requested to re-register the first device, when a period to the validity period is less than a predetermined threshold period.

Method and apparatus for managing access information for registration of device in smart home service

A method of generating an integrated identifier includes generating a product identifier of an electronic appliance from information indicating a product type of the electronic appliance, generating an individual identifier of the electronic appliance from information regarding an entity to which the electronic appliance belongs, and generating an integrated identifier of the electronic appliance by combining the product identifier and the individual identifier.
