Network access apparatus and method for indoor environment monitoring of the same

A network access apparatus for indoor environment monitoring comprising:

• a communication unit that supports a connection between a communication terminal and an external network;
• a sensing unit that includes a plurality of indoor environment sensors;
• a controller that relays a data communication between the communication terminal and the external network and monitors whether the communication terminal is connected to the communication unit and, then, adjusts each sensing cycle of the plurality of indoor environment sensors based on a result of the monitoring and generates and outputs indoor environment information via the plurality of indoor environment sensors whose each sensing cycle is adjusted;
• and
• a power supply unit that generates and supplies an operating power of the controller and the sensing unit,
• wherein the controller includes information for determining a user situation and information on a condition for operating the indoor environment sensor that corresponds to said user situation,
• wherein the controller obtains each sensing cycle of each said indoor environment sensor corresponding to the user situation based on the condition for operating each said indoor environment sensor.

A method for indoor environment monitoring of a network access apparatus comprising:

• relaying a data communication between a communication terminal and an external network and monitoring whether the communication terminal is connected to the network access apparatus;
• obtaining a user situation by analyzing the information on whether the communication terminal is connected to the network access apparatus,
• obtaining each sensing cycle of an indoor environment sensor corresponding to the user situation and a previously stored information based on a condition on operating an indoor environment sensor;
• adjusting each sensing cycle of a plurality of the indoor environment sensors based on whether the communication terminal is connected to the network access apparatus;
• and
• sensing and informing an indoor environment via the plurality of indoor environment sensors whose each sensing cycle is adjusted.
