The server includes a transceiver for communicating with a gateway existing in a room, and a processor for transmitting at least one template including location information and identification (ID) information of a device to the gateway to control at least one device paired with the gateway. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A first server comprising: a transceiver configured to communicate with a gateway existing in a room; and a processor configured to transmit at least one template including location information and identification (ID) information of at least one device paired with the gateway to the gateway to control the device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The first server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to: control the transceiver to receive unique room information including at least one of ID information, room type information, and check-in information of the room from a second server, and transmit a template changed according to the unique room information to the gateway. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The first server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to transmit different templates according to a room size, a room type, and a room grade to the gateway. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The first server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to: divide the room into a plurality of zones, and generate the template to collectively control at least one device included in each of the zones. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The first server of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to: control to transmit, when a first user command for selecting a predetermined template among a plurality of pre-stored templates is input, the predetermined template to the gateway, and map, when a second user command for mapping a device within a room in which the gateway exists to a user interface (UI) displayed in the predetermined template is received, the device within the room to the UI. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The first server of claim 1, wherein, when a user command for setting a mode for the room by using the template is input, the processor is further configured to match and store the template and the set mode, and wherein the mode for the room includes an operation schedule of at least one device existing in the room, an operation trigger command, and information on operation content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The first server of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to: set a use right of the device based on the template, generate a layer combining the template, the mode, and use right information of the device, and allocate different layers according to a room grade. ### Claim 8 A method of providing a template by a server, the method comprising: generating at least one template including location information and identification (ID) information of at least one device paired with a gateway existing in a room to control the device; and transmitting the template to the gateway. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: receiving unique room information including at least one of ID information, room type information, and check-in information of the room from a second server; and generating a template changed according to the unique room information. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the generating of the template comprises generating different templates according to a room size, a room type, and a room grade. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the generating of the template comprises: dividing the room into a plurality of zones; and generating the template to collectively control at least one device included in each of the zones. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising: when a first user command for selecting a predetermined template among a plurality of pre-stored templates is input, transmitting the predetermined template to the gateway; and when a second user command for mapping a device within a room in which the gateway exists to a user interface (UI) displayed in the predetermined template is received, mapping the device within the room to the UI. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising, when a user command for setting a mode for the room by using the template is input, matching and storing the template and the set mode, wherein the mode for the room includes an operation schedule of at least one device existing in the room, an operation trigger command, and information on operation content. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, further comprising: setting a use right of the device based on the template; generating a layer combining the template, the mode, and use right information of the device; and allocating different layers according to a room grade. ### Claim 15 A gateway comprising: a display; a transceiver configured to: communicate with a server, and pair with at least one device; and a processor configured to: control the transceiver to receive at least one template including a location, an identification (ID), and attribute information of the device from the server to control the at least one device, and control the display device to display the received template. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The gateway of claim 15, further comprising an input unit, wherein, when a user command for dividing the room into a plurality of zones is input through the input unit, the processor is further configured to control to display a generated template to collectively control at least one device included in each of the plurality of zones. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The gateway of claim 16, wherein, when a user command for mapping a device within the room to a user interface (UI) displayed in the template is input through the input unit, the processor is further configured to control to map the device within the room to the UI. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The gateway of claim 15, wherein, when a user command for setting a mode for the room by using the template is input, the processor is further configured to match and store the template and the set mode, and wherein the mode for the room includes an operation schedule of at least one device existing in the room, an operation trigger command, and information on operation content. ### Claim 19 A method of displaying a template by a gateway, the method comprising: pairing with at least one device; receiving at least one template including a location, an identification (ID), and attribute information of the device from a server to control the at least one device; and displaying the received template. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, further comprising: receiving a user command for dividing the room into a plurality of rooms; and displaying a generated template to collectively control at least one device included in each of the plurality of zones according to the user command. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, further comprising: receiving a user command for mapping a device within the room to a user interface (UI) displayed in the template; and making a control to map the device within the room to the UI. ### Claim 22 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, further comprising: when a user command for setting a mode for the room by using the template is input, matching and storing the template and the set mode, wherein the mode for the room includes an operation schedule of at least one device existing in the room, an operation trigger command, and information on operation content. ### Claim 23 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, wherein the receiving of the user command to map the device within the room to the UI comprises receiving at least one of a drag motion between the UI and the device and a simultaneous touch on the UI and the device.
