GATEWAY APPARATUS FOR MONITORING ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A gateway apparatus for monitoring whether something is wrong with electronic devices, the gateway apparatus comprising:
- at least one communication section which communicates with a plurality of electronic devices, a camera for taking an image of the plurality of electronic devices, and a user terminal or a management server; and
a controller configured to determine whether there is something wrong with at least one of the plurality of electronic devices based on energy information received from the plurality of electronic devices, to receive a taken image of the at least one electronic devices with which something is wrong from the camera by transmitting position information of the at least one electronic device with which something is wrong to the camera, and to transmit a monitoring image based on the received taken image of the at least one electronic device with which something is wrong to the user terminal or to the management server.

17. A gateway apparatus for monitoring whether something is wrong with electronic devices, the gateway apparatus comprising:
-
at least one communication section which communicates with a plurality of electronic devices, a camera for taking an image of the plurality of electronic devices, and a user terminal or a management server; and a controller configured to receive operation information from the plurality of electronic devices, to determine whether there is something wrong with at least one of the electronic devices by comparing the received operation information with operation conditions, to receive an image of the at least one of the electronic devices with which something is wrong from the camera by transmitting position information of the at least one electronic device with which something is wrong to the camera, and to transmit the received image of the at least one electronic device with which something is wrong to the user terminal or to the management server.

18. A method of controlling a gateway apparatus for monitoring whether something is wrong with electronic devices, the method comprising:
-
receiving operation information from a plurality of electronic devices; determining whether there is something wrong with at least one of the plurality of electronic devices by comparing the received operation information with operation conditions; transmitting position information of the at least one of the electronic devices with which something is wrong to a camera for taking images of the plurality of electronic devices if something is wrong; receiving the image of the at least one electronic device with which something is wrong from the camera; and transmitting a monitoring image based on the taken image of the at least one electronic device with which something is wrong to a user terminal or to a management server. - View Dependent Claims (20)
