Domestic electrical equipment network system and its control method

Abstract

A home appliance networking system and a method for controlling the same. An IP sharing unit assigns private IP addresses or port numbers respectively to a plurality of home appliances in a home networking system and is assigned a public IP address so that the home networking system can be accessed from an external network. A plurality of communication processors are connected respectively to product controllers of the home appliances to store corresponding ones of the private IP addresses or port numbers assigned by the IP sharing unit and enable corresponding ones of the home appliances to transmit and receive data to / from an internal network of the home networking system through the corresponding private IP addresses or port numbers. Therefore, the home appliance networking system can be constructed in a simpler manner and at a lower cost to operate the home networking system efficiently.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a home appliance network system and a control method thereof, in particular to a home networking system composed of multiple home appliances, by assigning self-set IP addresses or port numbers to the multiple home appliances, the multiple home appliances can According to the self-set IP address or port number and the network to send and receive data, the home appliance network system and its control method can be constructed more easily and the cost required for construction can be reduced at the same time. Background technique [0002] At present, many home appliances are connected through the network in the home, and the home appliances can be controlled by the user in any place inside or outside the home, so that the home appliance networking system that can connect the network to an external network is attracting attention . [0003] It goes without saying that the home appliance networking system enables users to ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the case of installing various LAN cards in home appliances and having a PC-class CPU, the manufacturing cost of the home appliances will increase, deteriorating their market competitiveness.

In addition, in order to install PC-class CPUs and LAN cards of new specifications in home appliances, the existing production lines for designing and manufacturing home appliances cannot be used, and new production lines need to be constructed, which has become a problem related to the rise in prices of home appliances.

[0007] Moreover, when LAN cards and PC-level CPUs are centrally installed on home appliances, the price of home appliances that do not need to be controlled through the network will increase, resulting in waste of resources.
