Abstract:
Disclosed are an electronic device and a data compression method thereof. According to a data compression method of an electronic device of the present invention, the method comprises the steps of: compressing a page; determining whether data included in the compressed page is stored in a memory; and merging the compressed page with data previously stored in the memory when a result of the determination shows that the data included in the compressed page is the same as the previously stored data. Therefore, the electronic device can prevent a page including the same or similar data from being stored a multiple number of times in a swap area, thereby raising memory securing efficiency.
Abstract:
A method for managing an air conditioner is provided. The method includes determining a power consumption pattern of the air conditioner while controlling the air conditioner, based on at least one power consumption factor, calculating a threshold value of power consumption according to an operating time of the air conditioner based on distribution information of the determined power consumption pattern, determining whether a current power consumption is within a threshold value range of the calculated threshold value of power consumption, and generating and transmitting a signal to a manager server if the current power consumption is not within the threshold value range.
Abstract:
Provided are an electronic device and a page merging method therefor. The electronic device may include: a memory manager that initializes pages and determines a page as a target to be merged if the page is initialized to a preset specific value; and a memory for merging multiple pages determined as a target to be merged and storing the merged page. The electronic device can determine whether to merge pages with a small amount of computation and merge the pages according to the determination result. Hence, the electronic device can manage the memory in an efficient manner.
Abstract:
A device management method of a server and an apparatus for managing a device based on power information and pricing schemes are provided. The method includes receiving information used for creating device power control information that is used for changing a power mode between alternating current (AC) power and direct current (DC) power to incur a minimum price, calculating a plurality of times a device is capable of operating with DC power, based on a plurality of operating rates of at least one component of the device obtained from the received information, creating first device power control information based on a battery available time selected from the calculated plurality of times by a predetermined policy, and controlling the device according to the created first device power control information.
