Apparatus and method for controlling sensor data in cloud system

Abstract

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for controlling sensor data in a cloud system. The apparatus includes a plurality of virtual machines, and a service module. Each of the plurality of virtual machines obtains sensor information about a user terminal by driving an internal sensor data processing module at a request of the corresponding user terminal, and provides the application execution environment of a requested service by connecting to the user terminal over a network. The service module provides an application corresponding to the requested service to a virtual machine which requested the service. When a sensor Application Programming Interface (API) of the user terminal is called by the application, the virtual machine requests sensor data from the user terminal based on the sensor information about the user terminal, and provides the result of measurement of the sensor data from the user terminal to the corresponding application.
