## Abstract

A method of providing context information regarding an IoT (Internet of Things) device includes acquiring primary context information which is collected for at least one IoT device, and secondary information which is derived by analyzing the primary context information; and providing the primary context information or the secondary context information to a developer device or a supplier server through a PaaS (Platform as a Service) configured to support an application or a content to be provided by the at least one IoT device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of providing context information regarding an IoT (Internet of Things) device, comprising:
acquiring primary context information which is collected for at least one IoT device, and secondary information which is derived by analyzing the primary context information; and
providing the primary context information or the secondary context information to a developer device or a supplier server through a PaaS (Platform as a Service) configured to support an application or a content to be provided by the at least one IoT device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1,
wherein the primary context information or the secondary context information includes at least one of information upon a state of the at least one IoT device, information detected by a sensor related to the at least one IoT device, and public information collected from an external server.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1,
the providing of the primary context information or the secondary context information comprises:
determining at least one library related to the primary context information or the secondary context information among libraries supported by the PaaS, and providing the determined at least one library to the developer device or the supplier server through the PaaS.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3,
wherein the at least one library is matched with the primary context information or the secondary context information in a context information-library map which is produced with reference to at least one of a topic, an attribute and a matching history.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause the method as claimed in claim 1 to be performed.

### Claim 6

A system which provides context information regarding an IoT (Internet of Things) device, comprising:
a context information management unit configured to acquire primary context information which is collected for at least one IoT device, and secondary information which is derived by analyzing the primary context information; and
a PaaS (Platform as a Service) management unit configured to provide the primary context information or the secondary context information to a developer device or a supplier server through a PaaS configured to support an application or a content to be provided by the at least one IoT device.
