Method and apparatus for controlling temperature
First Claim
1. A method for controlling temperature in a temperature control system, the method comprising:
- determining non-occupancy of a space;
determining whether to start setback control based on a predicted non-occupancy period of the space and a minimum time interval of the non-occupancy period to start the setback control for energy saving;
determining a target temperature of the space;
calculating a setback control start temperature based on the target temperature; and
performing the setback control according to the calculated setback control start temperature.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method for controlling temperature in a temperature controlling system is provided. The method includes determining occupancy or non-occupancy of a user in a space subject to setback control; when the user'"'"'s non-occupancy is determined, determining whether to start the setback control based on probability distribution of a non-occupancy period that are predetermined; when it is determined to start the setback control, determining the user'"'"'s target temperature based on previously collected data; calculating a setback temperature based on the target temperature; and performing the setback control according to the calculated setback temperature.
