Abstract

A control method of an electronic apparatus may include receiving power usage from a plurality of terminal devices; classifying the plurality of terminal devices into a plurality of types, and generating power standardization distribution data by types of the classified terminal device; identifying a power standard score of each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices based on the power usage of each of the plurality of devices included in a preset group and power standardization distribution data corresponding to each of the plurality of devices; identifying a priority of power control of each of the plurality of devices included in the preset group based on the identified power standard score; and identifying at least one device among a plurality of devices included in the preset group based on the identified priority and transmitting a control signal for power use to the identified device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A control method of an electronic apparatus, the control method comprising:
receiving power usage from a plurality of terminal devices;
classifying the plurality of terminal devices into a plurality of types based on a preset criterion, and generating power standardization distribution data for each type among the plurality of types of the classified terminal device based on the received power usage;
identifying a power standard score of each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices based on the power usage of each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices included in a preset group and the power standardization distribution data corresponding to each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices;
identifying a priority of power control of each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group based on the identified power standard score; and
identifying at least one terminal device among the plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group based on the identified priority, and transmitting a control signal for power use to the identified terminal device.

2. The control method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a terminal device in which the identified power standard score among the plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group exceeds an average of the generated power standardization distribution data as a terminal device for control of the use of the power.

3. The control method of claim 1 , further comprising:
excluding a terminal device in which the identified power standard score among the plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group is less than an average of the generated power standardization distribution data from the terminal device for control of the use of the power.

4. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the control signal comprises transmitting a control signal including a power saving ratio based on the identified power standard score and a preset power saving level.

5. The control method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving operation setting information from the plurality of terminal devices; and
identifying average operation setting information based on the received operation setting information,
wherein the transmitting of the control signal comprises transmitting the control signal for operating the terminal device included in the preset group according to the identified average operation setting information.

6. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the preset group is set based on at least one of a position where a terminal is disposed and a user.

7. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the power standardization distribution data comprises generating data in a unit of a month, a quarter, a half-year, or a year.

8. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the power standard score comprises identifying the power standard score based on an average power usage for each type of the classified terminal device, a variance, and a power usage of the terminal device included in the preset group.

9. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the control signal comprises identifying a hub device among a plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group and transmitting the control signal to the hub device.

10. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a communication interface; and
a processor configured to:
receive power usage from a plurality of terminal devices,
classify the plurality of terminal devices into a plurality of types based on a preset criterion,
generate power standardization distribution data by types of the classified terminal device based on the received power usage,
identify a power standard score of each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices based on the power usage of each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices included in a preset group and the power standardization distribution data corresponding to each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices,
identify a priority of power control of each terminal device of the plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group based on the identified power standard score,
identify at least one terminal device among a plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group based on the identified priority, and
transmit a control signal for power use to the identified terminal device.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify a terminal device in which the identified power standard score among the plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group exceeds an average of the generated power standardization distribution data as a terminal device for control of the use of the power.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to exclude a terminal device in which the identified power standard score among the plurality of terminal devices included in the preset group is less than an average of the generated power standardization distribution data from the terminal device for control of the use of the power.

13. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a control signal including to power saving ratio based on the identified power standard score and a preset power saving level.

14. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive operation setting information from the plurality of terminal devices, identify average operation setting information based on the received operation setting information, and transmit the control signal for operating the terminal device included in the preset group according to the identified average operation setting information.

15. The electronic apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the preset group is set based on at least one of a position where a terminal is disposed and a user.
