Apparatus and method for controlling terminal based on living pattern

Abstract

Provided is an apparatus and method for controlling a terminal based on a living pattern, the apparatus including an interface configured to read n sets of physical terminal use information from a database, and select, from among the read n sets of physical terminal use information, m sets of physical terminal use information of which a difference in length between a set reference time and a start time or a termination time is less than or equal to a length of set interval time, each of n and m denoting a natural number, and a processor configured to generate a virtual terminal profile based on the m sets of physical terminal use information and control a virtual terminal included in the generated virtual terminal profile.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
