Electronic Device Control for Movement-Based IoT Wake-Up
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IoT devices require manual user input to turn on or off, which is inconvenient and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device that communicates with IoT devices to automatically wake up or turn off package IoT devices based on sensing data, such as user movement, without requiring separate user input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is required to turn on/off IoT devices, then device control is simple and direct, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The IoT device automatically wakes up and operates based on sensing data from sensors (movement sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor) without requiring manual user input. The device serves itself by detecting user presence and environmental conditions, then autonomously activating or deactivating based on predefined criteria
Solution Approach 2:
A sensor acts as an intermediary between the user and the IoT device. The sensor detects user presence and transmits sensing data to the IoT device, which then decides whether to wake up or remain dormant based on the received data, eliminating the need for direct manual operation
2Use of energy by moving object
If IoT devices remain in standby mode to reduce energy consumption, then energy efficiency is improved, but response time to user needs worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The IoT device maintains a low-power standby mode with sensors continuously monitoring the environment. When sensing data indicates user presence (movement detected, temperature/humidity changes), the device is already prepared and can wake up immediately, providing fast response without continuous full-power operation
Solution Approach 2:
The device operates in periodic cycles: dormant state for energy saving, then activates when sensing data triggers a wake-up condition. This periodic activation based on sensor input balances energy consumption with responsive operation
3Ease of operation
If package IoT devices are controlled individually, then device management is simple, but user convenience deteriorates due to repeated manual operations
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple IoT devices that form a package (e.g., air conditioner, air cleaner, humidifier) are grouped together and controlled as a unit. When sensing data triggers a wake-up condition, all devices in the package are activated simultaneously through a single sensing event, eliminating the need for repeated manual operations on each device

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication interface, memory storing information about at least one package internet of things (IoT) device corresponding to each of one or more IoT devices, and storing one or more computer programs, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication interface and the memory, wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to based on the sensing data corresponding to movement of a user being received from a first IoT device through the communication interface, identify whether the user is located within a preset distance from the first IoT device based on the received sensing data, based on identifying that the user is located within the preset distance from the first IoT device, identify at least one second IoT device, which is included in the at least one package IoT device of the first IoT device based on information stored in the memory, and transmit a control signal for waking up the at least one second IoT device to the at least one second IoT device through the communication interface.
