An air conditioner, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a communication unit for receiving, from a terminal staying in a zone, first information of the terminal, including information on a previous staying time of the terminal in the zone, and a control unit for determining second information of the terminal, which contains an expected leaving time of the terminal, on the basis of the first information of the terminal and determining an operating mode and an operating time of the air conditioner on the basis of the second information of the terminal, and thus energy can be saved while minimizing a decline in the sensation of comfort felt by an occupant.
Abstract:
An example method for determining, at an electronic device, a presence or absence of the electronic device in a specific space may include estimating a current location based on strength of signals received from a plurality of wireless communication devices; correcting the estimated location by using movement information acquired through a sensor to generate a first corrected location; correcting the first corrected location by using information about a boundary area of a predefined presence determination area to generate a second corrected location; and determining the presence or absence in the presence determination area, based on the second corrected location.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally 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 communication apparatus performs a method for determining a user's presence in a specific space. In the method, the apparatus receives a first signal from a first sensor and identifies a user access direction, based on the received first signal. Then, the apparatus selects a second sensor, based on the identified user access direction, receives a second signal from the selected second sensor, and determines whether a user enters in the specific space, based on the received second signal.
