INTEGRATED GATEWAY FOR DISTRIBUTED HOME NETWORK AND SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK STRUCTURE FOR THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed herein are an integrated gateway for a distributed home network and a software framework structure for the same. The integrated gateway includes an input/output interface unit (110), an Internet gateway unit (120), a telephone network interface/unit (130), a microprocessor (140), a control unit (150), a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) (160), and a memory unit (170). The input/output interface unit (110) communicates with the home appliances. The Internet gateway unit (120) is connected to the Internet. The telephone network interface unit (130) is connected to the PSTN. The microprocessor (140) processes data transmitted and received through the Internet gateway unit (120) and a telephone network interface unit (130). The control unit (150) informs the microprocessor of interrupts and outputs control signals for controlling the transmission and reception of data according to the interrupts. The UART (160) controls the transmission and reception of data between the microprocessor (140) and the input/output interface unit (110) in response to the control signals. The memory unit (170) stores log in-formation about the currently set Status of devices and the transmission and reception of data.
