Abstract

A user device, a method of driving the user device, an apparatus for providing a service, and a method of driving the apparatus for providing the service are provided. The user device includes a storage configured to receive a rule related to performing an operation of the device and to store the rule, and a controller configured to control to perform a former priority operation based on a determination result of the former priority operation included in the stored rule, and to transmit the rule to a periphery device for performing a latter priority operation included in the rule in response to the former priority operation being completed.

Claims

1. A user device comprising:

a storage configured to receive and store a rule related to performing an operation of a device; and

a controller configured to control to;

perform a prior order operation based on a determination result of the prior order operation included in the stored rule, and

transmit the rule to a periphery device for performing a next order operation included in the rule in response to the prior order operation being completed.

2. The user device according to claim 1, wherein the storage is further configured to receive the rule from a device for providing a service that received input of an executing command regarding the rule or from another user device that performed an operation prior to the prior order operation and stores the rule.

3. The user device according to claim 1,

wherein the storage further comprises a program for executing the prior order operation, and

wherein the controller is further configured to execute the stored programs related to the performance of the prior order operation.

4. The user device according to claim 3, wherein the controller, in response to a storage command regarding the rule, is further configured to:

receive the program from a device for providing a service through a communication interface, and

store the received program.

5. The user device according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to transmit additional information used for performing the next order operation when transmitting the rule to the periphery device.

6. The user device according to claim 1,

wherein the prior order operation comprises an operation for determining whether a predetermined trigger is satisfied,

wherein the next order operation comprises a control operation to execute in response to the trigger being satisfied, and

wherein the operation executor comprises at least one sensor for sensing whether or not the trigger is satisfied.

7. A method of driving a user device, the method comprising:

receiving and storing a rule related to performing an operation of a device;

controlling to perform a prior order operation based on a determination result of the prior order operation included in the stored rule; and

controlling to transmit the rule to a periphery device for performing a next order operation included in the rule in response to the prior order operation being completed.

8. The method according to claim 7,

wherein the storing comprises receiving the rule from a device for providing a service that received input of an executing command regarding the rule or from another user device that performed an operation prior to the prior order operation and storing the rule.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the storing comprises:

storing a program for executing the prior order operation,

wherein the storing comprises executing the stored programs related to the performance of the prior order operation.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the storing comprises, in response to a storage command regarding the rule, receiving the program from a device for providing a service through a communication interface and storing the received program.

11. The method according to claim 7, wherein the controlling to transmit the rule to a periphery device comprises providing additional information used for performing the next order operation when transmitting the rule to the periphery device.

12. The method according to claim 7,

wherein the prior order operation comprises an operation of determining whether a predetermined trigger is satisfied,

wherein the next order operation comprises a control operation to execute in response to the trigger being satisfied, and

wherein the performing the operation comprises sensing whether the trigger is satisfied.

13. A device for providing a service, the device comprising:

a program manager configured to provide a web page to a user for writing a rule related to performing an operation of a device;

an operation manager configured to, in response to there being no designation of a device for performing an operation included in the written rule, determine the operation and automatically designate one of registration devices of the user; and

a device manager configured to transmit the rule to the designated device in order to perform a prior order operation included in the rule.

14. The device according to claim 13, wherein the operation manager is further configured to control the device manager to transmit a program related to an operation to at least one user device for executing the operation defined in the rule.

15. The device according to claim 13, wherein the operation manager, in response to a command to execute the written rule from the user, is further configured to control the device manager to transmit the rule to a user device for performing a prior order operation defined in the rule.

16. The device according to claim 13, wherein the operation manager is further configured to recognize a context of the user and automatically designate the device.

17. A method of driving a device for providing a service, the method comprising:

providing a web page to a user for writing a rule related to performing an operation of the device;

in response to there being no designation of a device for performing an operation included in the written rule, determining the operation and automatically designating one of registering devices of a user; and

transmitting the rule to the automatically designated device in order to perform a prior order operation included in the rule.

18. The method according to claim 17, further comprising, in response to a command to store the written rule, transmitting a program related to the operation to at least one user device for executing an operation defined in the rule.

19. The method according to claim 17, further comprising, in response to a command to execute the written rule from the user, transmitting the rule to a user device for performing a prior order operation defined in the rule.

20. The method according to claim 17, wherein the automatically designating comprises recognizing a context of the user and automatically designating the device.
