Method for controlling a home appliance networking system

摘要

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.
