System and method of controlling surrounding devices, based on topology
First Claim
1. A method of controlling sub surrounding devices, the method performed by a main surrounding device and comprising:
- receiving a plurality of pieces of surrounding device information regarding the sub surrounding devices, from a host device;
receiving context information, from the host device;
obtaining topology setting information regarding topology configuration standards;
determining at least one sub surrounding device to be configured in a topology, among the sub surrounding devices, based on the plurality of pieces of the surrounding device information, the context information, and the topology setting information; and
controlling the at least one sub surrounding device, based on control information that is received from the host device.

Abstract
A system and method of controlling surrounding devices, based on a topology are provided. The method of controlling sub surrounding devices, which is performed by a main surrounding device, includes receiving a plurality of pieces of surrounding device information about the sub surrounding devices from a host device; receiving context information about a context of the host device from the host device; obtaining topology setting information about topology configuration standards; determining a sub surrounding device to be comprised in a topology from among the sub surrounding devices, based on the context information and the topology setting information; connecting the main surrounding device with the host device and the sub surrounding device; and controlling the sub surrounding device, based on control information received from the host device.
