METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING POWER SUPPLY
First Claim
1. A method for managing supply of power to a device, comprising steps of:
- measuring power consumption of at least one connected device;
determining a priority of each of the at least one connected device when the measured power consumption exceeds allowable power; and
controlling the supply of power to each of the at least one connected device, based on the determined priority,wherein the priority of each of the at least one connected device is determined based on a power consumption pattern of the connected device and a connection time of the connected device.

Abstract
The present invention relates to power supply control and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for simultaneously or individually supplying power to multiple connected devices. A method for managing power supply to a device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: measuring power consumption of at least one connected device; when the measured power consumption exceeds an allowed power supply level, determining the priority of each of the at least one connected device; and controlling power supply to each of the at least one connected device on the basis of the determined priority, wherein the priority of each of the at least one connected device is determined on the basis of the power consumption pattern and connected time of the corresponding connected device. The present invention relates to a technology for a sensor network, machine-to-machine (M2M), machine type communication (MTC), and the Internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure may be used for intelligent services (smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security and safety-related service, and the like) on the basis of the technology.
