20110238807 | RELAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING DEVICE MANAGEMENT SERVICE - A method for providing a Device Management (DM) service to various devices by a relay device is provided. In the method, the relay device registers in a DM server a relay function for providing a DM service based on the relay device to at least one device. If at least one device is discovered in a Personal Area Network (PAN) managed by the relay device, the relay device determines a relay mode with the at least one device, and provides a DM service from the DM server to the at least one device according to the determined relay mode. | 09-29-2011 |
20110295992 | SERVER AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING DEVICE MANAGEMENT SERVICE AND DEVICE RECEIVING THE DEVICE MANAGEMENT SERVICE - A method for providing a Device Management (DM) service in an M2M environment that enables intelligent data collection and communication through an M2M communication function is provided. In the method, a Network Operator Server (NOS) or an ES provides a DM service menu to a subscriber device. When the subscriber device selects a desired service from the DM service menu, the NOS delegates the DM service authority for a network subscriber to the ES. The ES provides the DM service through an M2M communication with the subscriber device. The ES integrates the DM results and transmits the integrated DM results to the network operator. Accordingly, the NOS can provide an efficient DM service to more devices at a lower cost, by minimal interaction with the ES, through the cooperation enterprise specialized in the DM service. | 12-01-2011 |
20110307620 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REGISTERING PERSONAL NETWORK - A method for a Personal Network Entity (PNE) to individually join a desired Personal Network (PN) is provided. When the PNE transmits a PN connection request message to a PN gateway, the PN gateway inserts its information into the connection request message and forwards the connection request message to a Converged Personal Network Service (CPNS) server. The CPNS server, upon receipt of the connection request message through the PN gateway, generates and manages information about a PN related to the PN gateway. The information about the PN is provided to the PNE at execution of authentication with the PNE, such that the PNE can determine whether to join the PN. | 12-15-2011 |
20110310908 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING PERSONAL NETWORK USING PN ROUTING TABLE - A method and an apparatus are provided for configuring a Personal Network (PN). A connection request message is received from a Personal Network Entity (PNE) at the PN gateway. A registration request message for a PN, to which the PNE belongs, is transmitted from the PN gateway to a server located in a Wide Area Network (WAN). An authentication request message including ID information of the PN is received at the PN gateway from the server. The authentication request message is forwarded from the PN gateway to one or more PNEs mapped to the ID information of the PN, with reference to a PN routing table in which information about the one or more PNEs is mapped to the ID information of the PN. The one or more PNEs receive a service from the server through the PN gateway. | 12-22-2011 |
20120047204 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A DEVICE MANAGEMENT PACKAGE AND A METHOD FOR RECEIVING THE DEVICE MANAGEMENT PACKAGE - A method and apparatus for receiving a Device Management (DM) package from a server cooperating with the network operator. The method includes cooperating for a DM service between a network operator and a DM package providing enterprise, determining whether a DM package is directly providable by a DM server when a device makes a DM request including its own information, transmitting a DM response including an address of an cooperation server if it is determined that a DM package is to be provided through the cooperation server, and receiving a DM package for an update operation by the device by accessing the address of the cooperation server. | 02-23-2012 |
20120117190 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING SERVICE USING PERSONAL NETWORK - Disclosed is a method of providing a service of an external network through creating a service group including personal network devices establishing a personal network by a Converged Personal Network Service (CPNS) server. A plurality of service providers provide a service for each group without independent operation of the service group generation and management function, thereby conserving resources and improving efficiency. | 05-10-2012 |
20120197455 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING POWER OF SMART APPLIANCE - A method and apparatus for managing power of a smart appliance is provided. The method includes acquiring, from the smart appliance, by an Energy Management System (EMS) for managing power of the smart appliance at home over a home network, terminal information including function information and power consumption information; monitoring power of the smart appliance and transmitting results of the results to an energy service provider; and controlling, upon receiving a power reduction command from the energy service provider, the power of the smart appliance based on the acquired terminal information. | 08-02-2012 |
