Home appliance network system and method for operating the same

Abstract

A home appliance network system and method of operating the system are disclosed herein. The home appliance network system includes a plurality of home appliances connected to a home-built network for transmitting and receiving data via the network, and includes a system for independently storing and updating status information or product information of a specific home appliance according to an input control command The home server of the device monitoring module. When a user monitors product information of a home appliance to control the home appliance, the home server can display the product information more quickly, thereby improving the control speed. In addition, the home server uses a smaller amount of network system resources, thereby enabling more efficient networking.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a home appliance network system, in particular, to a home appliance network system and a method of operating the system, wherein an appliance monitoring module is used to individually store and update a plurality of home appliances connected to a network The product information of the electrical appliances, so that the product information of the household appliances can be quickly monitored with a small amount of network system resources. Background technique [0002] figure 1 The structure of a general home appliance network system is shown. [0003] In general, a home network system (or a home appliance network system) refers to a system in which a plurality of appliances including a personal computer (PC) installed at home are respectively equipped with a network interface so that they can perform network connection and It is thereby centralized in a network formed in the home in order to send data to and receive d...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] As a result, no matter where, when the user tries to monitor the state of the home appliances H1-H4, the home server 1 must repeatedly transmit the control signal to each of the home appliances H1-H4 and Operation of product information or status information communicated by appliances H1-H4 to provide a user with a visual indication of product information or status information, resulting in a long period of time from when the user enters a status monitoring signal until when the information is displayed

[0009] Another disadvantage of the above home appliance network system is that it requires a lot of resources to perform the above operations smoothly

[0010] In addition, when the user tries to search for product information of a specific one of the home appliances H1-H4 connected to the network via the home server 1, even all other home appliances that do not need to be controlled receive the information transmitted from the home server 1. control signals, thus reducing the efficiency and reliability of network communications
