1. A method of operating a control device for controlling a home device, the method comprising: (5) (5)

determining a reference sleep pattern among a plurality of sleep patterns based on one or more of sleep time information associated with a user and basic information associated with the user;

analyzing a current sleep state of the user based on biometric information of the user;

comparing the reference sleep pattern with the current sleep state;

determining a sleep environmental condition when the reference sleep pattern is different from the current sleep state; and

controlling the home device based on the sleep environmental condition.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the biometric information includes at least one or more of (i) a skin temperature detected from the user, (ii) heart rate variability (HRV) of the user, (iii) movement of the user, (iv) a sound generated by the user, and (v) skin impedance of the user. (1) (0)

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (1)

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the sleep environmental condition includes one or more of a temperature, a light, a sound, a humidity, a wind, a height of a pillow, a temperature of the pillow, an incline of a bed, a shake of the bed, and wherein (0) (1)

7. The method of claim 1, wherein (0) (2)

8. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of sleep patterns includes sleep state information changed over time, and wherein (0) (1)

9. A control device, comprising: (5) (2)

a memory configured to store a plurality of sleep patterns; and

a processor configured to, determine a reference sleep pattern among a plurality of sleep patterns based on one or more of sleep time information associated with a user and basic information associated with the user;

analyze a current sleep state of a user based on biometric information of the user,

compare the reference sleep pattern with the current sleep state,

determine a sleep environmental condition when a reference sleep state of the reference sleep pattern is different from the current sleep state of the user, and

control a home device based on the sleep environmental condition.

10. The control device of claim 9, wherein the biometric information includes at least one or more of (i) a skin temperature detected from the user, (ii) heart rate variability (HRV) of the user, (iii) movement of the user. (iv) a sound generated by the user, and (v) skin impedance of the user. (1) (0)

11. The control device of claim 10, wherein the processor is configured to, (1) (3)

calculate a value of sleep quality of the user based on the biometric information,

generate the plurality of sleep patterns based on the value of the sleep quality of the, and

store the plurality of sleep patterns in the memory.

12. The control device of claim 11, wherein the biometric information includes the skin impedance of the user such that the processor is configured to calculate the value of the sleep quality of the user based on the skin impedance of the user. (0)

13. The control device of claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to collect the sleep time information based on an alarm time of the user, and wherein (0) (1)

14. The control device of claim 9, wherein each of the plurality of sleep patterns includes sleep state information changed over time, and wherein (0) (1)

15. The control device of claim 9, further comprising: (0) (1)

16. The control device of claim 9, further comprising: (0) (1)

17. A control device, comprising: (3) (3)

a sensor configured to sense biometric information of a user;

a memory configured to store a plurality of sleep patterns; and

a processor configured to, determine a reference sleep pattern among a plurality of sleep patterns based on one or more of sleep time information associated with the user and basic information associated with the user,

analyze a current sleep state of the user based on the biometric information of the user,

compare the reference sleep pattern with the current sleep state,

determine a sleep environmental condition when the reference sleep state is different from the current sleep state of the user, and

control the home device based on the sleep environmental condition.

18. The control device of claim 17, wherein the processor is configured to collect the sleep time information based on an alarm time of the user, and wherein (0) (1)

19. The control device of claim 17, wherein each of the plurality of sleep patterns includes sleep state information changed over time, and wherein (0) (1)

20. The control device of claim 17, wherein the processor is configured to, (0) (3)
