Method and apparatus for supporting facility control of terminal

A method by a gateway for supporting at least one facility control by a terminal, the method comprising:

• receiving a connection request from a sensor device;
• transmitting, to the sensor device, a connection completion message to connect with the sensor device, in a case that authority information is included in the connection request;
• registering a facility including the sensor device based on a facility registration request received from the connected sensor device;
• and
• receiving, from a terminal, a control command, including the authority information, for the registered facility,
• wherein the facility registration request includes information on a type of the facility which is identified by the sensor device based on facility-related information and a result of a detection for the facility operated by the facility-related information,
• wherein the facility-related information is obtained from a remote control device of the facility, and
• wherein at least one sensor among a plurality of sensors included in the sensor device is used for the detection.

A sensor device included in a facility for supporting at least one facility control of a terminal, the sensor device comprising:

• a plurality of sensors;
• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• obtain, from a remote control device of the facility, facility-related information,
• detect the facility operated by the facility-related information using at least one sensor among a plurality of sensors included in the sensor device,
• identify a type of the facility based on the obtained facility-related information and a result of the detection of the facility, and
• control the transceiver to transmit, to a gateway, a registration request for the facility including information on the identified type of the facility,
• wherein a control signal from the terminal is received via the gateway, in case that the facility is registered in the gateway based on the registration request.

A gateway for supporting at least one facility control by a terminal, the gateway comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• control the transceiver to receive a connection request from a sensor device,
• control the transceiver to transmit, to the sensor device, a connection completion message to connect with the sensor device, in a case that authority information is included in the connection request,
• register a facility including the sensor device based on a facility registration request received from the connected sensor device, and
• control the transceiver to receive, from a terminal, a control command, including the authority information, for the registered facility,
• wherein the facility registration request includes information on a type of the facility which is identified by the sensor device based on facility-related information and a result of a detection for the facility operated by the facility-related information,
• wherein the facility-related information is obtained from a remote control device of the facility, and
• wherein at least one sensor among a plurality of sensors included in the sensor device is used for the detection.
