Abstract

Disclosed is a control method of a management device managing a network. The control method includes detecting a first user input and transferring a first event execution command corresponding to the first user input to a first electronic device on the basis of correlation information between an event execution command from a second device and a user input, wherein each event execution command is configured to make the first electronic device execute corresponding event.

Claims

1. A control method of a management device, comprising:

detecting a first user input; and

transferring a first event execution command corresponding to the first user input to a first electronic device on the basis of correlation information between an event execution command from a second electronic device and a user input,

wherein each event execution command is configured to make the first electronic device execute a corresponding event.

2. The control method of claim 1, further comprising:

acquiring the first user input for the second electronic device when the second electronic device exists in a network; and

storing the correlation information by associating the first user input, acquired when the second electronic device exists in the network, with the first event execution command.

3. The control method of claim 2, wherein acquiring the first user input for the second electronic device when the second electronic device exists in the network comprises:

acquiring user inputs multiple times when the second electronic device exists in the network and storing the correlation information on the basis of a learning result for the multiple acquired user inputs.

4. The control method of claim 3, further comprising:

applying the learning result to another user as well.

5. The control method of claim 2, wherein storing the correlation information comprises:

photographing the first user input for the second electronic device when the second electronic device exists in the network; and

storing the correlation information by associating first gesture information acquired by processing the photographed result with the first event execution command.

6. The control method of claim 5, wherein detecting the first user input comprises:

acquiring at least one image for a user of the network; and

when second gesture information acquired from the processing result of the at least one image corresponds to the first gesture information, determining that the first user input has been detected.

7. The control method of claim 6, wherein determining that the first user input has been detected comprises:

determining a preset body part on which the second electronic device is worn;

acquiring a region of interest (ROI) in the at least one image on the basis of the preset body part; and

when the second gesture information acquired from the processing result of the region of interest corresponds to the first gesture information, determining that the first user input has been detected.

8. The control method of claim 2, wherein storing the correlation information comprises:

recording a first voice for the second electronic device when the second electronic device exists in the network; and

storing the first voice.

9. The control method of claim 8, wherein detecting the first user input comprises:

acquiring a second voice from a user of the network; and

when the second voice corresponds to the first voice, determining that the first user input has been detected.

10. The control method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing the correlation information by associating the first user input with data from the second electronic device.

11. The control method of claim 10, further comprising:

controlling the first electronic device using the data from the second electronic device which is stored through the association.

12. The control method of claim 1, further comprising:

outputting data for recognition relating to the second electronic device.

13. The control method of claim 1, further comprising:

converting an event execution command in the second electronic device into an event execution command in the first electronic device to transfer the converted event execution command to the first electronic device.

14. A management device, comprising:

a storage module that stores correlation information between an event execution command from a second device and a user input; and

a processor that detects a first user input and transfers a first event execution command corresponding to the first user input to a first electronic device on the basis of the correlation information,

wherein each event execution command is configured to make the first electronic device execute a corresponding event.

15. The management device of claim 14, wherein the processor acquires the first user input for the second electronic device when the second electronic device exists in a network, and associates the first user input, acquired when the second electronic device exists in the network, with the first event execution command to store the correlation information in the storage module.

16. The management device of claim 15, wherein the processor acquires user inputs multiple times when the second electronic device exists in the network and stores the correlation information on the basis of a learning result for the multiple acquired user inputs.

17. The management device of claim 16, wherein the processor applies the learning result to another user as well.

18. The management device of claim 15, further comprising:

a camera module that photographs a user input for the second electronic device when the second electronic device exists in the network,

wherein the processor associates first gesture information acquired by processing the photographed result with the first event execution command to store the correlation information in the storage module.

19. The management device of claim 18, wherein the processor acquires at least one image for a user of the network and, when second gesture information acquired from the processing result of the at least one image corresponds to the first gesture information, determines that the first user input has been detected.

20. A method of controlling a first electronic device, comprising:

detecting a first user input; and

controlling the first electronic device using first data corresponding to the first user input on the basis of correlation information between data received from a second electronic device and a user input entered into the second electronic device.
