20160054021 | TEMPERATURE CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method and an apparatus for controlling a temperature based on scheduling of an indoor temperature are provided. The apparatus obtains set temperature history information of an air handling unit from previously stored information. The set temperature history information is mapped to weather factor history information about at least one weather factor. The apparatus also obtains weather factor information regarding a scheduling target time. Based on the obtained set temperature history information and the obtained weather factor information, the apparatus schedules a set temperature of the air handling unit with regard to the scheduling target time. The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT) and may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, healthcare, digital education, smart retail, and security services. | 02-25-2016 |
20160061472 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING ROOM TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY - The present disclosure relates 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. In particular, a method and device for controlling room temperature and relative humidity to which to set a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system are provided. The method for controlling temperature and humidity by a temperature and humidity control device includes acquiring at least one piece of environmental information and user biometric information, determining, based on the acquired at least one piece of the environmental information and the user biometric information, control information that determines statistical information to be within a certain range, and controlling an HVAC system based on the determined control information. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a comfortable environment to a user and save energy while maintaining comfort. | 03-03-2016 |
