Method and system for managing home network equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a management system of home network equipment, which consists of a user terminal and the home network equipment. The home network equipment is provided with a first monitoring communication module; and a control management module is arranged in the user terminal. The management system of the other home network equipment consists of a user terminal, the home network equipment, and a home information machine interlinked with the user terminal and the home network equipment, wherein a control management module is arranged in the user terminal; and the home information machine is provided with a second monitoring communication module. The invention also discloses a management method of the home network equipment. The system and the method not only realize convenient management of various types of home network equipment, but also support intercommunication among the home network equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to home network technology, in particular to a management method and system for home network equipment. Background technique [0002] With the development of the digital home, the home network with the home information machine as the main control center has increasingly become the demand of people's fashionable life. Moreover, the wireless network standards adopted by the home network are also more abundant. Home information machine is a kind of information equipment, communication equipment, entertainment equipment, household appliances, water, electricity and heating meters, home help alarm equipment, lighting system and security system in the family category connected together by wired or wireless means. Product equipment. All devices in a home network (referred to as home network devices) can safely access external networks through a home information machine (also called a home gateway) to achieve seamless intercommu...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] For information devices in the home network, such as TVs, computers, etc., IP addresses can be assigned, or other wireless communication technologies can be used to form a home network with home information devices for information interaction; for other devices without IP addresses, such as traditional white goods ( Refrigerators, washing machines, etc.), to join the home network, generally install sensors on white goods. All white goods must adopt centralized management, that is, use home information machines to collect home network devices uniformly and communicate with external networks. Then this method makes it impossible for external devices such as mobile terminals to communicate directly with white goods, which is inconvenient to operate.

In addition, the ways of accessing the home information machine by external devices such as mobile terminals will also be restricted, and mobile devices of any communication standard cannot be used to access anytime and anywhere

[0005] The Chinese patent application number is 200910106693.1, which proposes a management method, device and system for home network equipment, which is a solution for the home network and its terminals of various network services. The broadband access server is used to control the home network and its equipment For management, network services include interactive network television (IPTV), Internet services, and IP telephony (VoIP, Voice over Internet Protocol), etc., but white goods in the home network are not processed

Its home network is not only complicated, but also for newly added devices and replaced devices, it is necessary to re-update the hypertext link text, and the device manager needs to re-allocate the IP address, the operation is very complicated

In addition, once the router cannot work safely, all home network devices linked to it will not be able to be controlled and managed

[0007] Chinese patent application number 20010179807.6 proposes a connection method, device and connection bridge between heterogeneous home network devices. By analyzing and encapsulating protocols between different types of home networks (smart home appliances, non-smart home appliances, etc.), The communication between home network devices in the home network is realized, but the problem is that if a newly developed home network device is used, this method must first analyze the industry standard protocol followed by the device to solve the problem of different home network devices. The information exchange between them is relatively difficult and workload, and the operation is inconvenient
