Abstract
A method of controlling power on a low-power device and the low-power device for performing the method are provided. The method includes performing a first operation, of acquiring sensing data, using power stored in an internal battery of the low-power device, wherein the first operation consumes a first power consumption from the internal battery; and performing a second operation, with respect to the acquired sensing data, and which consumes a second power consumption, using power wirelessly transmitted from an external device located outside of the low-power device, wherein the second power consumption is greater than the first power consumption.
