Solution Overview
Problem
Electronic apparatuses in the same space display different measurement values for air quality due to sensor errors, causing user confusion, and there is a need for a technology to correct these values considering various circumstances.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that calculate and correct measurement values by determining the average, minimum, or median values of multiple apparatuses, identifying and synchronizing values within a predetermined range, and transmitting corrected values to ensure consistency across devices, using a processor and communicator for communication and data processing.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electronic apparatuses are arranged in the same space to measure air quality, then the coverage and monitoring capability are improved, but the measurement values displayed by different apparatuses become inconsistent due to sensor errors
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that receives measurement values from multiple electronic apparatuses, calculates correction values based on rates of change, and transmits corrected values back to the apparatuses. This mediator resolves the inconsistency issue by centralizing the correction logic, allowing multiple devices to maintain uniform measurement displays while preserving their individual monitoring functions.
2Ease of operation
If measurement values from multiple apparatuses are corrected to be consistent, then user confusion is reduced, but the complexity of the system increases due to additional correction calculations and communications
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically calculating correction values based on rates of change of measurement values without requiring manual calibration or user intervention. The server autonomously receives data from multiple apparatuses, performs the necessary calculations, and pushes corrected values back to the devices, thereby simplifying user interaction while managing the inherent system complexity through automation.
3Measurement precision
If correction values are calculated and transmitted to all apparatuses, then measurement consistency is improved, but the communication load and data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial correction by calculating correction values selectively based on rates of change and transmitting them only when necessary to achieve consistency. Rather than continuously updating all apparatuses regardless of need, the server determines when correction is required and applies it partially, reducing unnecessary communication overhead and energy consumption while maintaining measurement consistency where needed.

AI summary
A method for controlling an electronic device is disclosed. The present control method comprises the steps of: receiving air state measurement values displayed on multiple external electronic devices from the external electronic devices; on the basis of the received measurement values, calculating a change rate of a measurement value of each of the multiple external electronic devices; identifying external electronic devices, the calculated change rates of which show differences belonging to a pre-configured range, among the multiple external electronic devices; correcting a measurement value received from at least one external electronic device among the identified external electronic devices such that measurement values received from the identified external electronic devices become equal to each other; and transmitting information related to the corrected measurement value to the at least one external electronic device.
