IEEE 1394-adopted host device and control method thereof

摘要

Disclosed are a host device and a control method thereof. The host device includes an IEEE 1394 interface for connecting the slave devices, an input device for inputting display-device-list command for the connected slave devices, a device list manager for sorting slave devices according to the predetermined criterion of the device type by using the device type from the device information of the slave devices and for creating a device list of the slave devices, a display device, and a controller for controlling the device list manager to create the device list when a display-device-list command is inputted and displaying the device list on the display device. Accordingly, a predetermined memory area can be saved, thereby decreasing the unit costs of products.
