Abstract:
An electronic apparatus and a method of controlling a plurality of devices by the electronic apparatus are provided. The method includes receiving data from a plurality of devices, determining a correlation between at least two devices among the plurality of devices on the basis of the received data, determining a position of a first device on the basis of the correlation, grouping the first device and another device positioned in the vicinity of the first device into one group, and automatically creating group information, and controlling the devices included in the group. The name of the first device may be automatically set using the group information.
Abstract:
A method by which a server controls plural devices includes receiving a trigger signal generated by a sensor in a home in response to a mobile device being present at a specific location in the home, determining devices corresponding to the specific location by using the trigger signal, receiving context information indicating a situation of a user from the mobile device, selecting context information related to operations of the determined devices from among the received context information by using keywords respectively related to the devices, each of the operations corresponding to each of the devices, and providing the selected context information to the devices respectively so that each of the devices performs the operations.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal is provided. The mobile terminal includes a short-range communicator, a security server and a payment method thereof, the mobile terminal including a short-range communicator which exchanges data by a predetermined short-range technology, a payment processor which performs a payment process corresponding to a preset standard in response to a user's request for payment, and a secure world which communicates with the payment processor, extracts secure information from data and stores the data therein and masks the secure information from the outside. Thus, the secure data may be masked at the time of communication with the outside.
Abstract:
A device and method of managing power are provided. The device includes a user input unit configured to receive a user input from a user, an output unit configured to output information based on the user input, and a controller configured to, when the user input is not received, determine whether or not an out-focus status in which the user does not use the device has started, determine, when it is determined that the out-focus status has started, a period in which the out-focus status is to be maintained based on information about a probability of the out-focus status according to a context of the device, and stop, when the period in which the out-focus status is to be maintained is equal to or greater than a reference time period, an application executed in the device.
Abstract:
A method performed by a first application in a client apparatus to authenticate a second application in the client apparatus is provided. The method includes, when the first application receives an execution request from the second application, requesting authentication information of the second application from an authentication server, obtaining the authentication information of the second application from the authentication server, and authenticating the second application using the authentication information, wherein the authentication information of the second application is signed with a private key of the authentication server.
Abstract:
A method by which a server controls a home device is provided. The method includes receiving a trigger signal generated by a sensor in a home in response to a mobile device being present at a specific location in the home, determining a home device corresponding to the specific location by using the trigger signal, selecting context information related to an operation of the determined home device from among context information received from the mobile device, and providing the selected context information to the home device.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing location-based personalized information by using user location history information, whereby battery consumption of a computing device is reduced. The computing device includes: a location finder configured to obtain user location information of a user of the computing device; a display configured to display information indicating a route of the user of the computing device; and a controller configured to track a location of the user by controlling the location finder as the controller senses a change in the location of the user based on the obtained user location information, obtain information corresponding to an initial route of the user based on the tracked location of the user, detect a predicted route of the user from user location history information based on the information corresponding to the initial route of the user, and display on the display unit the predicted route.
