20120204044 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING NETWORK SYSTEM - Provided is a method of controlling a network system. The method includes recognizing power information and an operation mode of an electric product, and providing an energy-saving operation mode to the electric product or operating the electric product in the energy-saving operation mode for reducing an energy-related value based on the recognized power information and the operation mode of the electric product. | 08-09-2012 |
20120209444 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRIC PRODUCT - Provided is a control device for controlling an electric product. The control device includes a power source unit, an input unit, an output unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The power source unit supplies power to the electric product. The input unit is configured to input an operation mode related with a power saving driving of the electric product or input a command related with a driving method of the electric product. The output unit outputs information corresponding to the command input through the input unit or information related with driving of the electric product. The communication unit communicates information related with energy supplied to the electric product. The control unit controls an operation of the electric product based on a command related with the operation mode or a course of the driving. The operation mode includes a normal operation mode and a power saving operation mode. | 08-16-2012 |
20120209445 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING NETWORK SYSTEM - A method of controlling a network system is provided. The method of controlling a network system includes recognizing power information comprising a peak time period and an operation time period of an energy consumption component and changing the operation time period when the peak time period is included in at least portion of the operation time period of the energy consumption component. | 08-16-2012 |
20120215370 | NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - Provided is a network system, which includes an advanced metering infrastructure, a communication device, and an energy management system. The advanced metering infrastructure is configured to measure energy supplied from a power supply source. The communication device is configured to communicate energy information related with the energy. The energy management system recognizes the energy information to control driving of an electric product. The energy management system limits a function of at least one part of power consumption units constituting the electric product, based on whether the recognized energy information is an on-peak time period. Thus, the concentration of power consumptions can be removed, so that a power supplier can effectively manage power consumptions and a consumer can save electricity costs and energy. | 08-23-2012 |
20120215371 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING NETWORK SYSTEM - Provided is a method of controlling a network system. In the method, power information and time information regarding an operation of an electric product is recognized. Then, an energy-saving operation mode is provided to the electric product or the electric product is operated in the energy-saving operation mode for reducing an energy-related value based on the reccognized power information and the time information. | 08-23-2012 |
20130274937 | COMPONENT FOR NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - Provided are a component for network system and a method of controlling the same. The method includes: inputting a driving factor of the component or the other component; and predicting result information when the component or the other component is driven based on the inputted driving factor. | 10-17-2013 |
20130332002 | COMPONENT FOR A NETWORK SYSTEM - Provided is a component for a network system. The component for a network system which is communicable with the other component includes a communication unit for communicating with the other component, an input part for inputting a command related to an operation of the component, and a control part for controlling the operation of the component. The component includes a power saving function in which the component is operable on the basis of energy information. | 12-12-2013 |
20140222168 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMPONENT FOR NETWORK SYSTEM - Provided is a method of controlling a component for a network system. The method of controlling a component for a network system, which is communicable with the other component, includes recognizing energy information or additional information except for the energy information; and providing recommended information related to an operation of the component within a recommended range on the basis of the recognized energy information or the additional information. | 08-07-2014 |
20140374083 | AIR CONDITIONER HAVING HUMAN BODY SENSING ANTENNA UNIT - Disclosed is an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes an outdoor unit. The air conditioner further includes an indoor unit located in a building and configured to distribute cool air to a space within the building. The air conditioner further includes an antenna unit configured to sense (i) movement of human bodies within the space or (ii) presence of human bodies located in the space and determine a number of human bodies based on the sensed presence, where the antenna unit includes a housing and a plurality of antenna arrays located on an outer surface of the housing. | 12-25-2014 |
