An apparatus and a method for registering a device in a cloud server are provided. The apparatus includes detecting the device by using short-range communication, requesting an authentication code used for registering the device in the cloud server from an account server in response to the device being detected, receiving the authentication code from the account server, and transmitting the received authentication code and connection address information of the cloud server to the device.

Method and apparatus for registering device in cloud server

An example terminal apparatus includes a communicator configured to communicate with at least one device through a hub device; a display configured to display an image; a user input receiver configured to receive a user's input; and at least one processor configured to control the display to display a dialog box where the hub device or the at least one device is set as a counterpart in response to execution of a messenger program, control the communicator to transmit a control signal including a command for controlling a predetermined device to the device targeted for control through the hub device so that the device targeted for control operates in response to the command corresponding to a user's input, and control the display to display a message corresponding to the transmitted command in the dialog box.

Terminal apparatus and method for controlling internet of things (IoT) devices

An electronic device and a method for providing content within a home network are provided. The electronic device includes a communication interface that receives first content generated by a controlled device, and a processor configured to map the received first content to a target device to which the received first content is to be provided, acquire second content related to the first content, and when a content provision condition is met, transmit at least one of the first content and the second content to the target device.

Electronic device and method for providing content

Provided herein is a portable terminal apparatus and a control method thereof, the method including registering at least one execution condition and execution command in the portable terminal apparatus; displaying an icon for the control; and in response to a select command regarding the icon being input, transmitting an execution command corresponding to an execution condition at a point where the select command regarding the icon is input to at least one peripheral device.

Portable terminal apparatus and control method thereof

An electronic apparatus and a method of controlling a group action, the method being performed by the electronic apparatus are provided. An electronic apparatus and a method of controlling a group action, the method being performed by the electronic apparatus that is capable of creating the group action corresponding to a status change of an external apparatus and is also capable of controlling the external apparatus are provided. Some embodiments provide an electronic apparatus and a method of controlling a group action, the method being performed by the electronic apparatus that is capable of creating the group action corresponding to status information of an external apparatus, which is received from a server, and is also capable of changing a status of the external apparatus via the created group action.

Electronic apparatus and method of controlling group action

A server and a method of controlling a group action of the server are provided. The server can determine whether a conflict occurs between a first group action that is being executed and a second group action that is requested to be executed and determine at least one conflict solution, and the method controls the execution of the group actions by the server and the determination and communication of the conflict solution. The conflict can be determined by using group action characteristics of the first group action and the second group action.

Server and method of managing group actions of external apparatuses

A user terminal device and a method for recognizing a user location using beacon signals of things are provided. The user terminal device for recognizing the user location includes a communication module configured to receive beacon signal information from things grouped into a plurality of space groups; and a processor configured to identify as a user location in a user space, a space group to which a thing corresponding to a beacon signal having a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of more than a reference value form among RSSIs of beacon signals belongs, based on the beacon signal information. With this, the user terminal device may analyze the beacon signals of the things to recognize the user location in the user space, thereby controlling the things to be optimized for the user.
