SMART ACCESS POINT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INTERNET OF THINGS APPARATUS USING THE SMART ACCESS POINT APPARATUS

An access point and a method for controlling an IoT (Internet of Things) device, using the access point. The method includes receiving a request for a service list from a user terminal through a smart access point communication with one or more IoT devices provided in one space; providing a list of virtual objects which are able to be provided out of virtual objects corresponding to the one or more IoT devices to the user terminal as the service list; receiving a control service request generated from the service list of the user terminal; identifying an IoT device corresponding to the control service request and requesting the identified IoT device for IoT control; and renewing a state of a virtual object corresponding to the identified IoT device based on a response of the identified IoT device and transmitting information on the state renewal to the user terminal.
