Intelligent management apparatus and method of digital home network system

摘要

Provided is an intelligent management apparatus and method of a digital home network system. The intelligent management apparatus includes: a context aware portion for extracting context aware information from sensing data, generating context information, history information and object information based on the context aware information, and generating context priority information based on the context information when at least two contexts conflict with each other; an information directory for storing the context information, the history information, the object information, the context priority information; a service determining portion for detecting events based on the context aware information, reasoning services corresponding to the events based on the information stored in the information directory, and outputting reasoned service information; and a service control portion for determining a service priority of services to be executed based on the reasoned service information and controlling drive of devices corresponding to the respective services according to the determined service priority. The intelligent management apparatus and method of the digital home network system prevent a collision between the context information and services which may happen during operation of the digital home network system and minimize user's intervention.
