Abstract:
An electronic device and method for measuring user body information are provided. The method for measuring user body information includes detecting a contact of a user's body portion on at least two spots of a touch screen of the electronic device, upon detecting the contact of the user's body portion on the at least two spots of the touch screen, applying power to a first coil in the electronic device, and measuring the user body information using at least one of a voltage and a second current measured after a first current is induced across the user's body by a first magnetic field generated from the first coil as the power is applied.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to technologies for sensor networks, a machine-to-machine (M2M) interface, machine-type communication (MTC), and an Internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure may be used in intelligent services (e.g., a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car, a connected car, health-care, digital education, a retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.). A service-oriented input and output method and apparatus for a smart control system are provided. The method includes receiving a hot key input from a remote controller, transmitting a command corresponding to the hot key input to a device corresponding to the command, receiving a processing result according to the command from the device, when a display is inactivated upon reception of the processing result, activating the display and outputting a message according to the processing result through the display, and inactivating the display after the output of the message is ended.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for controlling a target device of a host and a client for supporting a service for the target device which has connectivity not supported by the host. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the method for controlling the target device of the host includes: receiving, from a first client having the same connectivity as that of at least one target device, target information on the target device, and managing the target information; and, when a service request signal for the target device is received from a second client, transmitting, to the target device, a service control signal for controlling the target device using the target information.
