Abstract

Multiple electrical appliances are connected to household network. Each appliance informs device control unit of own description information through broadcasting mode. Based description information received, device control unit creates relevant networked virtual information appliances and stores their device description information, and sends the description information in standard format to network server. Based on received device description information, network server creates web page of appliance list and control web page, which are released to user terminal device. Using device list web page in user interface and control web page of information appliance, user sends out command for controlling information appliances. After command is completed, information appliance sends out own newest state to network server through device control unit, letting server update web page.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a home appliance control system and method in a home network, more specifically, to an information home appliance control system and method in a home network that adapts to the expansion of various information home appliances and guarantees support for new information home appliances. Background technique [0002] At present, the control of household appliances generally adopts a stand-alone operation mode, and a single household appliance is controlled by setting a button on the household appliance or a remote controller. With the increasing number of home appliances, many manufacturers have developed a single universal control device, the remote control, to control several different home appliances. Although this remote control can use a single interface to control and command several different home appliances Devices, however, specific remotes can only control and command those appliances whose necessary control and ...
