Home Device Control Device And Operation Method Thereof

An apparatus and a method for controlling a home device using biometric information are provided. The method includes determining a reference sleep pattern among a plurality of sleep patterns based on sleep time information of a user or basic information of the user, analyzing a sleep state of the user based on biometric information of the user, comparing the reference sleep pattern with the sleep state, determining a sleep environmental condition when the reference sleep pattern is different from the sleep state, and controlling the home device based on the determined sleep environmental condition.

3 Independent Claims

  • 1. A method of operating a control device for controlling a home device, the method comprising: determining a reference sleep pattern among a plurality of sleep patterns based on one or more of sleep time information associated with a user and basic information associated with the user; analyzing a current sleep state of the user based on biometric information of the user; comparing the reference sleep pattern with the current sleep state; determining a sleep environmental condition when the reference sleep pattern is different from the current sleep state; and controlling the home device based on the sleep environmental condition.

  • 9. A control device, comprising: a memory configured to store a plurality of sleep patterns; and a processor configured to, determine a reference sleep pattern among a plurality of sleep patterns based on one or more of sleep time information associated with a user and basic information associated with the user; analyze a current sleep state of a user based on biometric information of the user, compare the reference sleep pattern with the current sleep state, determine a sleep environmental condition when a reference sleep state of the reference sleep pattern is different from the current sleep state of the user, and control a home device based on the sleep environmental condition.

  • 17. A control device, comprising: a sensor configured to sense biometric information of a user; a memory configured to store a plurality of sleep patterns; and a processor configured to, determine a reference sleep pattern among a plurality of sleep patterns based on one or more of sleep time information associated with the user and basic information associated with the user, analyze a current sleep state of the user based on the biometric information of the user, compare the reference sleep pattern with the current sleep state, determine a sleep environmental condition when the reference sleep state is different from the current sleep state of the user, and control the home device based on the sleep environmental condition.
