A power metering apparatus, a power metering server, and a power metering method based on a blockchain are disclosed. Particularly, in order to simultaneously assure integrity and transparency of power metering data based on a blockchain, power metering data generated by measuring an amount of power generated by an energy source and a unique key are stored in a database linked to a power metering server, and a digitally signed hash value of the power metering data is stored in a blockchain node. Accordingly, disclosed are blockchain-based power metering system and method for preventing forgery and tampering of power metering data, solving a problem associated with a blockchain storage capacity that may occur when storing the power metering data, and protecting sensitive information on the power metering data.

The present invention related to an apparatus and a method for calculating basic electricity charges, being capable of periodically collecting electricity usage information for each household by using a smart meter provided in an aggregate building in which power reception equipment is installed, calculating the monthly or yearly maximum demand power for each household using the collected electricity usage information, and then, automatically calculating the basic electricity charges for each household with respect to the basic electricity charges of an entire aggregate building in consideration of the calculated maximum demand power for each household obtained and a ratio of ownership shares for each household based on the ownership shares for each resident household.

Method and apparatus for calculating basic electricity charges for partitioned owners in aggregate building

An apparatus for automated electricity demand response based on online trading of demand side resources. The apparatus includes a communication unit, a demand response management system, an utility grid management system, and a demand response resources in use; a database; and a demand response processing unit configured to receive an electricity demand reduction instruction message according to a certain demand response service contract condition in the demand response management system.

An apparatus and method for managing application context is provided. A first one of a plurality of terminals, each including at least one application, collects and transmits context information of the application to a migration server so that it is stored and managed in the migration server. The migration server transmits the stored and managed context information to a second terminal corresponding to the first terminal in response to a request of the second terminal. The second terminal restores context based on the context information received from the migration server. This can reproduce the same application and desktop environments as those previously set to be suitable for each work situation, thereby increasing user convenience.

An apparatus for multicasting contents between devices in different networks includes: a home-to-home multicast control device for finding the devices in the networks, downloading contents from a device in a network to which the home-to-home multicast control device belongs, processing the contents to generate file blocks, each file block having chunk files, and multicasting the processed contents to the devices in the networks; and at least one home-to-home multicast bridge device for receiving the contents transmitted from the home-to-home multicast control device and streaming the contents to one or more devices in a network to which the home-to-home multicast bridge device belongs. The apparatus further includes a multicast relay device for relaying the contents between the home-to-home multicast control device and the home-to-home multicast bridge device.

Method and apparatus for multicasting contents between devices in networks

An apparatus and method for automatically migrating user's working data by using automatic work data migration apparatuses connected respectively to work devices. In the method, the automatic work data migration apparatus detects that the user leaves or accesses the work device. User work data related to the work device are collected and the collected user work data stored in the automatic work data migration apparatus, if it is detected that the user leaves the work device. The storage location information of the user work data is provided to another automatic work data migration apparatuses connected to the automatic work data migration apparatus. The automatic work data migration apparatus searches the storage location information of the user work data if it is detected that the user accesses the work device. The automatic work data migration apparatus connected to the work device accessed by the user receives the user work data related to a work executed in the previous work device.
