The invention provides a universal gateway architecture for interconnecting a
family network and an external network, which mainly comprises an external network access module, a coordinated control module, a
family network equipment interface module and an information
library, wherein, the external network access module consists of a signaling proxy, a data proxy and a management proxy, the coordinated control module consists of an
information extraction and fusion device, a
library manager, an implementation controller, a signaling adapter, a
data adapter and a management adapter, and the
family network interface module consists of a data media sub-network proxy, a communication sub-network proxy, a
home appliance sub-network proxy, an information
library collection time-varying device, abusiness and network environment and other related information. The adoption of the universal gateway architecture can shield the heterogeneous of the family network, facilitate the equipment management of the family network, the business implementation, the customization of user using rules and other related works, and provide the universal gateway architecture for interconnecting the family network and the external network.
