Description of the Related Art
Home networks, which have become wide spread in recent years, refer to a home system which enables household electronic and electric appliances to be connected via a single wireless or wire-based system in order to implement two-way communication. The home network allows automated adjustment of not only simple functions of remotely controlling home appliances, i.e., (home automation) but also high-tech functions, including information exchange, monitoring and security through data transmission and reception between home appliances. A user may switch on and off gas or electronic products from outside the home via a computer, a personal digital assistance (PDA) or a mobile phone and access multimedia content, such as education programs, movies, and games, via a TV.
The home network may be classified into a data network of home information and communication devices based on a computer, an audio/video (A/V) network of a TV and an audio system, and an information appliances network of household equipment based on white goods, depending on use. In the home network, wire-based technology, such as Ethernet, PLC, IEEE 1394 and home PNA, radio technology, such as IEEE 802.11 WLAN, IEEE 802.15 WPAN and UWB, and home network control middleware, such as UPnP, HAVI, JINI and Home Network Control Protocol (HNCP) are employed, and various kinds of services based on these technologies are being vigorously developed.
