Abstract

A method of controlling a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices included in an IoT ecosystem is provided. A change of a value of a resource of an IoT device from among the plurality of IoT devices is detected, an intent associated with the resource of which the value is changed is identified, a resource associated with the identified intent from among resources of the plurality of IoT devices is determined, and a value of the determined resource is controlled based on a context corresponding to the identified intent.

Claims (38)

1. A method of controlling a plurality of Internet of Things (IOT) devices included in an IoT ecosystem, the method comprising:

storing a first group including IoT devices among the plurality of IoT devices, wherein each of resources of the IoT devices in the first group is associated with a first intent related to a noise from among a plurality of intents, and wherein a size of sound related to the noise is changed based on the each of the resources;

acquiring sensing data related to the first intent, wherein the sensing data includes a sound,

identifying whether a size of the sound included in the sensing data is changed to be greater than or equal to a threshold according to a change in a mode of a second IoT device not included in the first group among the plurality of IoT devices;

based on the sensing data being changed according to the change in the mode of the second IoT device, identifying the mode of the second IoT device as a resource associated with the first intent;

updating the first group to include the second IoT device; and

in response to an event corresponding to the first intent being identified, controlling a value of a resource of an IoT device among the IoT devices included in the updated first group and the mode of the second IoT device included in the updated first group such that a size of sound related to a noise from the IoT ecosystem is decreased.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first intent indicates an aspect of an influence made to the IoT ecosystem according to at least one of IoT devices included in the IoT ecosystem.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring the sensing data related to the first intent;

identifying a third IoT device from among the first group based on the sensing data not being changed according to a change of a value of a resource of the third IoT device; and

updating the first group to exclude the third IoT device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing a plurality of groups associated with each of the plurality of intents from among the plurality of IOT devices for each intent of the plurality of intents, and

identifying a change of sensing data related to each of the plurality of intents.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second IoT device is a robot cleaner,

wherein the sensing data includes a sound from the IoT ecosystem, and

wherein the event includes an event that a user performs a call.

6. An Internet of Things (IoT) device for controlling a plurality of IoT devices, the IoT device and the plurality of IoT devices being included in an IoT ecosystem, the IoT device comprising:

a communication interface configured to connect with the plurality of IoT devices, and

a processor configured to:

store a first group including IoT devices among the plurality of IoT devices, wherein each of resources of the IoT devices in the first group is associated with a first intent related to a noise from among a plurality of intents, and wherein a size of sound related to the noise is changed based on the each of the resources,

acquire sensing data related to the first intent, wherein the sensing data includes a sound,

identify whether a size of the sound included in the sensing data is changed to be greater than or equal to a threshold according to a change in a mode of a second IoT device not included in the first group among the plurality of IoT devices,

based on the sensing data being changed according to the change in the mode of the second IoT device, identify the mode of the second IoT device as a resource associated with the first intent,

update the first group to include the second IoT device, and

in response to an event corresponding to the first intent being identified, control a value of a resource of an IoT device among the IoT devices included in the updated first group and the mode of the second IoT device included in the updated first group such that a size of sound related to a noise from the IoT ecosystem is decreased.

7. The IoT device of claim 6 , wherein the first intent indicates an aspect of an influence made to the IoT ecosystem according to at least one of IoT devices included in the IoT ecosystem.

8. The IoT device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire the sensing data related to the first intent,

identify a third IoT device from among the first group based on the sensing data not being changed according to a change of a value of a resource of the third IoT device, and

update the first group to exclude the third IoT device.

9. The IoT device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

store a plurality of groups associated with each of the plurality of intents from among the plurality of IoT devices for each intent of the plurality of intents, and

identify a change of sensing data related to each of the plurality of intents.

10. The IoT device of claim 6 , wherein the second IoT device is a robot cleaner,

wherein the sensing data includes a sound from the IoT ecosystem, and

wherein the event includes an event that a user performs a call.
