Abstract
Provided is a method of a host device managing at least one external device connected to the host device through a management server. The method includes: obtaining measurement information measured by the at least one external device; requesting authorization by the management server; transmitting the obtained measurement information to the management server when the authentication succeeds; receiving management information for managing the at least one external device, where the management information is generated based on the measurement information by the management server; and managing the at least one external device based on the received management information.
Claims18
An electronic device for managing a wearable device, the electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen;
- a first communication interface configured to communicate with a server;
- a second communication interface configured to communicate with the wearable device;
- a memory configured to store an application for managing the wearable device;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- execute the application for managing the wearable device,
- receive, from the wearable device via the second communication interface, health-related information during the execution of the application, wherein the health-related information is obtained by the wearable device in which a firmware is installed,
- display the received health-related information on the touch screen,
- receive, from the server via the first communication interface of the electronic device, firmware update information for updating the firmware installed in the wearable device,
- display, on the touch screen, a notification information indicating that a firmware update is available, and
- transmit, to the server via the first communication interface of the electronic device, an update agreement message responding to the firmware update information to cause, during the execution of the application, the wearable device to update the firmware installed in the wearable device based on the received firmware update information.
A method for managing a wearable device by an electronic device, the method comprising:
- executing an application for managing the wearable device;
- receiving, from the wearable device, health-related information during the execution of the application, wherein the health-related information is obtained by the wearable device in which a firmware is installed;
- displaying the received health-related information on a touch screen;
- receiving, from a server via a first communication interface of the electronic device, firmware update information for updating the firmware installed in the wearable device;
- displaying, on the touch screen, a notification information indicating that a firmware update is available;
- and
- transmitting, to the server via the first communication interface of the electronic device, an update agreement message responding to the firmware update information to cause, during the execution of the application, the wearable device to update the firmware installed in the wearable device based on the received firmware update information.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on an electronic device, causes the electronic device to:
- execute an application for managing a wearable device,
- receive, from the wearable device, health-related information during the execution of the application, wherein the health-related information is obtained by the wearable device in which a firmware is installed,
- display the received health-related information on a touch screen;
- receive, from a server via a first communication interface of the electronic device, firmware update information for updating the firmware installed in the wearable device,
- display, on the touch screen, a notification information indicating that a firmware update is available, and
- transmit, to the server via the first communication interface of the electronic device, an update agreement message responding to the firmware update information to cause, during the execution of the application, the wearable device to update the firmware installed in the wearable device based on the received firmware update information.
