Ulifecare management service method and device using adaptive control protocol for USN interface

A control method of a sensor communicating with a gateway communicating with a service server, the control method comprising:

• sensing first information comprising at least one of bioinformation, disaster prevention information, and public information;
• transmitting the first information to the gateway;
• receiving a control command relayed by the gateway from the service server, the control command being used to control the sensor;
• controlling the sensor based on the control command;
• receiving, from the gateway, a request for a report on whether adaptive control protocol ACP information is included in the sensor;
• and
• transmitting, to the gateway, a report on whether the sensor has an ACP of the sensor, in response to the request for the report on whether the ACP information is included in the sensor.

A gateway configured to communicate with at least one sensor and a service server, the gateway comprising:

• a communication unit to receive, from the at least one sensor, first information comprising at least one of bioinformation, disaster prevention information, and public information;
• and
• a controller to control the communication unit to transmit the first information to the service server when the first information meets a first standard, or to process the first information in a data format of the first standard and to transmit the processed first information to the service server when the first information does not meet the first standard,
• wherein the communication unit is configured to receive, from the service server, a control command to control the at least one sensor, and configured to transmit the control command to a sensor corresponding to the control command,
• wherein the gateway is configured to transmit to the sensor, via the communication unit, a request for a report on whether adaptive control protocol (ACP) information is included in the sensor based on receiving a query regarding the ACP information in the sensor from the service server.

A sensor configured to communicate with a gateway communicating with a service server, the sensor comprising:

• a sensing unit to sense first information comprising at least one of bioinformation, disaster prevention information, and public information;
• a communication unit to transmit the first information to the gateway, and to receive a control command relayed by the gateway from the service server, the control command being used to control the sensor;
• and
• a controller to control the sensor based on the control command,
• wherein the sensor is configured to transmit to the gateway, via the communication unit, a report on whether adaptive control protocol (ACP) information is included in the sensor based on receiving a query regarding the ACP information in the sensor from the service server via the gateway.
