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

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• an input/output (I/O) module configured to communicate with a plurality of home appliances;
• a memory configured to store outdoor environment information;
• and
• an operation determination module configured to:
• compare indoor environment information, in which a user using the plurality of home appliances resides, with the outdoor environment information to confirm that air purification is necessary,
• maintain a first home appliance of the plurality of home appliances in a first state being a current state of the first home appliance, and either change a state of a second home appliance of the plurality of home appliances or transmit a message related to the air purification to the user.

An information processing method for a home appliance, comprising:

• receiving a user's basic information;
• allowing an information processing apparatus to identify air purification information from the basic information using an individual service in an individual service area;
• comparing indoor environmental information with outdoor environmental information;
• and
• performing either (i) a first process of operating a ventilation device in an operating state after maintaining a state of an air purifier to purify air or (ii) a second process of operating the air purifier in a state in which the ventilation device is stopped to purify the air,
• wherein the first process is performed when a value of the outdoor environmental information is higher than a value of the indoor environmental information, and
• wherein the second process is performed when the value of the outdoor environmental information is lower than the value of the indoor environmental information.

An information processing method, comprising:

• receiving a user's basic information;
• allowing an information processing apparatus to identify air purification information from the basic information using an individual service in an individual service area;
• and
• either operating a ventilation device in an operating state after maintaining a state of an air purifier configured to purify air, or transmitting a message to the user,
• wherein the operating the ventilation device in the operating state is performed when a value of the air purification information is lower than a threshold value.
