METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEVICE MANAGEMENT BASED ON DEVICE POWER INFORMATION AND PRICING SCHEMES

摘要

A device management method of a server and an apparatus for managing a device based on power information and pricing schemes are provided. The method includes receiving information used for creating device power control information that is used for changing a power mode between alternating current (AC) power and direct current (DC) power to incur a minimum price, calculating a plurality of times a device is capable of operating with DC power, based on a plurality of operating rates of at least one component of the device obtained from the received information, creating first device power control information based on a battery available time selected from the calculated plurality of times by a predetermined policy, and controlling the device according to the created first device power control information.
