Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for zero-configuration interworking between devices, which solves an expandability problem and does not require a home gateway. The apparatus for zero-configuration interworking between devices includes: an operation mode input unit for receiving an operation mode select signal; a human life standard message generation unit for generating a human life standard message corresponding to the operation mode select signal; a message transmission unit for broadcasting the human life standard message to all other devices in a home; a message reception unit for receiving a human life standard message from the other devices in the home; a setting information storage unit storing information of a preset human life mode; and an operation processing unit for processing an operation corresponding to a human life mode within the received human life standard message, according to the information of the setting information storage unit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing and controlling multimedia group communication service based on a mesh network. The apparatus for providing a group communication service includes a group communication management module, and an audio and video management module. The group communication management module controls and manages group communication between a plurality of user terminals connected to an internal network independent of an external network. The audio and video management module receives audio and video data for group communication from the microphone and camera of each of the user terminals and manages the audio and video data. The group communication management module includes a packet management unit configured to generate packets that are used to control the group communication, a terminal search unit, and a group communication control unit.
