The present disclosure relates to a technology for a sensor network, machine to machine (M2M), machine type communication (MTC), and Internet of things (TOT). The present disclosure can be utilized for intelligent services (smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety related services, etc.) on the basis of the above technology. The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for controlling operations of electronic devices. According to the present disclosure, a method for controlling electronic devices by a control device comprises the steps of: collecting, by the control device, sensing information through at least one sensor; determining, by the control device, a user's situation on the basis of the collected sensing information; displaying at least one candidate control mode among a plurality of pre-stored control modes on the basis of the result of the determination; receiving a selection input for selecting one control mode from the at least one displayed candidate control mode; and transmitting a control command for at least one electronic device which can be controlled in the one control mode, in response to the selection input.

Method and apparatus for controlling electronic device

Provided is a home monitoring method and apparatus. A home gateway executes receiving, from a mobile terminal, a request message for requesting home monitoring, providing, to the mobile terminal in response to the request message, monitoring information associated with a camera module included in at least one home device registered in advance and/or a position to be monitored, receiving, from the mobile terminal, selection information indicating a first camera module selected based on the monitoring information, transmitting, to the mobile terminal, image data captured and collected by the first camera module in response to the reception of the selection information, receiving, from the mobile terminal, a control command with respect to the first camera module, and transmitting the control command to a first home device including the first camera module.

Home monitoring method and apparatus

The disclosure relates to a sensor network, machine type communication (MTC), machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, and technology for internet of things (IoT). A method of a server is provided. The method includes determining a target temperature range to be applied to a first zone; predicting an indoor temperature for each of a plurality of zones included in a second zone in which the first zone is included; predicting efficiency of at least one first outdoor unit connected to first indoor units installed at the second zone; and controlling operations of the first indoor units based on the target temperature range, the indoor temperature for each of the plurality of zones, and the efficiency of at least one first outdoor unit.

Apparatus and method for controlling air conditioner in air conditioning system

Provided is a remote control method and apparatus in a home network system including multiple home devices. The remote control method includes receiving operation state information from the respective multiple home devices, receiving a control command for operation control of at least one of the multiple home devices from a user device, determining a control target home device based on the control command, sending the control command to the determined control target home device, receiving processing result information corresponding to execution of the control command from the control target home device, and transmitting the processing result information to the user device.

Method and apparatus for controlling a home device remotely in a home network system

According to the present invention, content generated from a mobile terminal, a camera, or the like is stored automatically in a home gateway in a home network system. If synchronization is set between the home gateway and a home device, the home gateway may transmit backup content to the synchronized home device. Content may be selectively stored and classified based on a specific location, memo, voice, and the like set by a user for privacy protection.

Apparatus and method for contents back-up in home network system

The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. method for controlling energy in a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system includes determining whether a user is absent in a use space for energy control; if the user is absent, determining whether to initiate energy control by using a user's departure and arrival probability and a probability distribution of a length of time away, which are determined based on previously stored data.

Method and apparatus for controlling energy in HVAC system

The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method for controlling temperature in a temperature controlling system is provided. The method includes determining occupancy or non-occupancy of a user in a space subject to setback control; when the user's non-occupancy is determined, determining whether to start the setback control based on probability distribution of a non-occupancy period that are predetermined; when it is determined to start the setback control, determining the user's target temperature based on previously collected data; calculating a setback temperature based on the target temperature; and performing the setback control according to the calculated setback temperature.

Method and apparatus for controlling temperature

A method and apparatus for controlling groups of devices in a home network system are provided. The method includes receiving a request message for executing a first operation mode from a mobile station through the Internet, reading a control list stored for the first operation mode, in order to determine home devices associated with the first operation mode and in order to determine functions of the home devices, in response to the request message, transmitting control commands, instructing the home devices to execute the functions, to the home devices, respectively, according to the control list, and reporting the results of execution of the functions, according to the control commands, to the mobile station.

Method and apparatus for controlling devices in home network system

A method and apparatus for controlling home devices on a group basis in a home network system are provided. The method includes collecting operation state information about a plurality of home devices, generating control history information about the plurality of home devices based on the collected operation state information, receiving a group control command for a group of home devices from among the plurality of home devices, the group of home devices being set based on the control history information, and controlling operations of the group of home devices according to the received group control command.
