Embodiment Construction

[0052] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] figure 1 is an exemplary diagram showing a home network system communicating with a control device according to an embodiment, and figure 2 is a block diagram showing a home network system communicating with a control device according to an embodiment. A home network system that communicates with control devices includes a plurality of electronic devices 100a to 100h and a network.

[0054] The electronic devices 100a to 110h, each of which performs a predetermined unique function, transmits operation information corresponding to an operation state by performing an additional function of communicating with the control device via a network, and performs an operation corresponding to an operation command transmitted by the control device . Here, the control device 300 includes a mobile device.

[0055] Electronic devices include non-port...

Abstract

Disclosed is a control apparatus for controlling one or more electronic devices, the control apparatus comprising: a user interface unit for displaying a first screen having an icon corresponding to at least one electronic device and a status screen for at least one electronic device, and receiving input of an operational command for at least one electronic device; and a control unit for controlling so that a control screen for controlling the electronic device selected in the user interface unit is displayed when any one icon for an electronic device is selected, and switching the current operation of any one electronic device when the status window of any one electronic device is selected. The present invention facilitates easy identification by representing the plurality of electronic devices in the home using icons, and allows the operational statuses of the electronic devices in the home to be easily checked by displaying the operational statuses of the electronic devices in dialog bubbles at the periphery of the icons.

Description

Technical Field [0001] The invention relates to a control device for monitoring and controlling household appliances and a control method thereof. Background Art [0002] Recently, with the rapid development of wired / wireless data communication technology and the wide distribution of communication networks, high-speed communication services such as the Internet have been widely promoted. In particular, as high-speed Internet services enter homes, traditional PC-based network technology has developed into a home network technology for remotely controlling digital home appliances. [0003] A home network system is a system for connecting digital home appliances, sensors, lighting fixtures, heating and cooling equipment, gas equipment, etc. on a wired or wireless LAN to control the equipment desired by the user anytime and anywhere. [0004] Such a home network system generally includes a home server (or home monitoring gateway), multiple home network devices (hereinafter refer...
