Abstract

A method of controlling an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving measurement values for the state of air displayed on a plurality of external electronic apparatuses from each of the plurality of external apparatuses, calculating rates of change of the measurement values for each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses based on the received measurement values, identifying external electronic apparatuses of which differences of the calculated rates of change belong to a predetermined range among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, correcting the measurement values received from at least one external electronic apparatus among the identified external electronic apparatuses such that the measurement values received from the identified external electronic apparatuses become the same as one another, and transmitting information related to the corrected measurement values to the at least one external electronic apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving, from a mobile device, a command setting a plurality of external electronic apparatuses as electronic apparatuses located in a same space;
based on the setting as electronic apparatuses located in the same space, receiving, from each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, an electronic signal including measurement values for a state of air measured by respective sensors in each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses;
determining rates of change of the measurement values for each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses based on the measurement values;
identifying, based on the rates of changes, electronic apparatuses among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses of which a difference in the determined rates of changes between the external electronic apparatuses do not belong to a predetermined range; and
transmitting, to the mobile device, a command releasing the external electronic apparatuses identified to not belong to the predetermined range from the setting as electronic apparatuses located in the same space.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the rates of change comprises determining the rates of change based on a plurality of measurement values received from each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses while external electronic apparatuses that can control the state of air among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses operate.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
Generating a corrected measurement value based on any one of an average value, a minimum value, a maximum value, or a median value of the measurement values received from the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, and
transmitting, to at least one external electronic apparatus, information related to the corrected measurement value.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising transmitting information related to the corrected measurement value to the mobile device such that the corrected measurement value is displayed through an application installed on the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the state of air is any one of a temperature, a humidity, or a concentration of dust.

6. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a communicator; and
a processor configured to:
receive, from a mobile device, a command setting a plurality of external electronic apparatuses as electronic apparatuses located in a same space;
based on the setting as electronic apparatuses located in the same space, receive, from each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, an electronic signal including measurement values for a state of air measured by respective sensors in each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses through the communicator;
determine rates of change of the measurement values for each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses based on the measurement values;
identify, based on the rates of change, external electronic apparatuses among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses of which a difference in the determined rates of change between the external electronic apparatuses do not belong to a predetermined range; and
transmit, to the mobile device, a command releasing the external electronic apparatuses identified to not belong to the predetermined range from the setting as electronic apparatuses located in the same space.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the rates of change based on a plurality of measurement values received from each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses while external electronic apparatuses that can control the state of air among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses operate.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a corrected measurement value based on any one of an average value, a minimum value, a maximum value, or a median value of the measurement values received from the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, and
transmit, to at least one external electronic apparatus, information related to the corrected measurement value.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit information related to the corrected measurement value to the mobile device such that the corrected measurement value is displayed through an application installed on the mobile device.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the state of air is any one of a temperature, a humidity, or a concentration of dust.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including a program for executing a controlling method of an electronic apparatus, wherein the controlling method comprises:
receiving, from a mobile device, a command setting a plurality of external electronic apparatuses as electronic apparatuses located in a same space;
based on the setting as electronic apparatuses located in the same space, receiving, from each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses, an electronic signal including measurement values for a state of air measured by respective sensors in each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses;
determining rates of change of the measurement values for each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses based on the measurement values;
comparing the determined rates of change of the measurement values for each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses;
identifying, based on the rates of changes, external electronic apparatuses among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses of which a difference in the determined rates of change between the external electronic apparatuses do not belong to a predetermined range; and
transmitting, to the mobile device, a command releasing the external electronic apparatuses identified to not belong to the predetermined range from the setting as electronic apparatuses located in the same space.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 11 , wherein the determining the rates of change by the electronic apparatus being executed by the controlling method comprises determining the rates of change based on a plurality of measurement values received from each of the plurality of external electronic apparatuses while external electronic apparatuses that can control the state of air among the plurality of external electronic apparatuses operate.
