Information processing method, processing system, and processing apparatus for a home appliance

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• a confirmation module configured to check an operation state of at least one home appliance in response to a node request;
• and
• an operation determination module configured to change the operation state of the at least one home appliance from a first state to a second state when there is a trigger signal containing a user's schedule information,
• wherein the user's schedule information contains information related to a delay of the user in returning to the at least one home appliance,
• wherein the operation determination module comprises an operation sequence determination part, an operation mode determination part, and an operation time determination part,
• wherein the operation sequence determination part is configured to determine that a first home appliance of the at least one home appliance operates before a second home appliance of the at least one home appliance,
• wherein the operation mode determination part is configured to determine an operation in a delay mode in which an operation of the at least one home appliance is delayed based on the user's schedule information, and
• wherein the operation time determination part is configured to change an operation time of the at least one home appliance based on the user's schedule information.

An information processing method, comprising:

• receiving a trigger signal from a terminal through an information processing apparatus by using a second server of an application service area;
• determining, by an individual service, a meaning of the trigger signal, the individual service being provided by an individual service area different from the application service area, wherein the individual service area includes the terminal;
• identifying a first state of at least one home appliance through the information processing apparatus by using a first server of the application service area,
• wherein the first server is configured to communicate with the at least one home appliance, and wherein the application service area is configured to provide an application service to the terminal by applying the individual service supplied from the individual service area;
• and
• by using the first server, performing an application service that changes a state of the at least one home appliance from the first state to a second state in response to the meaning of the trigger signal determined by the individual service.
