Abstract

A control device is provided. The control device may include: an acquisition unit that acquires sensing information from a sensor provided on an independent load when an independent load operating on its own power is provided; and a control unit that increases the sensing period of the sensor using the sensing information. When a state in which the amount of change in the sensing information acquired at each set period is within a set range is defined as a satisfied state, the control unit may not increase the sensing period if the satisfied state is not repeated a set number of times, and the control unit may increase the sensing period if the satisfied state is continuously repeated a set number of times.

Description

Apparatus and method for performing control to improve power consumption of a smart handle The present invention relates to a control device and method for a smart handle. The smart handle can include a handle for opening and closing the window. In addition to the handle, the smart handle may be equipped with various measuring means, such as sensors for measuring indoor air quality. Alternatively, the smart handle may be equipped with display means for displaying various information or communication means for wired or wireless communication with an external terminal. For the operation of measuring means, display means, and communication means, a power supply means that provides driving power may be added to the smart handle. Since smart handles are installed on windows that are opened and closed for a long period of time, it may be difficult to supply power using a wired connection. Therefore, a battery may be provided in the smart handle as a means of power supply. Batteries may be considered consumables, such as commercial batteries. Alternatively, batteries need to be charged using a separate power source. Battery replacement or charging can be a factor that exacerbates user inconvenience, in addition to being a cost issue. Therefore, measures to extend the battery replacement or charging cycle are necessary. Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 2127196 discloses an automatic window opening and closing device that is linked with an automatic ventilation system and capable of wirelessly charging the power supply.
