Environment monitoring method and apparatus therefor
First Claim
1. An environment monitoring apparatus comprising:
- a charging unit configured to charge power necessary for monitoring environments;
a sensing unit configured to receive the power from the charging unit and to sense peripheral environments through a plurality of different sensors which are selected according to a request of a user;
a controller configured to control settings of the sensing unit according to the peripheral environments;
a communication unit configured to transmit the sensed information of the sensing unit to a server so that the server shares the sensed information with a plurality of smart devices; and
a display unit configured to display the sensed information to the user and to display a notification according to the sensed information to the user,wherein the controller selects sensors to be activated among the sensors using time information and controls the sensors so that the sensors operate in a predetermined time according to a request of the user using the time information.
