First Claim
1. A home appliance comprising:
- a driving unit to drive a component of the home appliance;
a controller configured to control the driving unit;
a communication unit electrically connected to the controller, wherein the communication unit is configured to;
provide network setup related information to an access point apparatus,receive network related information from the access point apparatus,access the access point apparatus after receiving the network related information, andprovide, to a server, after accessing the access point apparatus, product related information for product registration; and
a memory configured to store the received network related information,wherein the communication unit receives power information from the server during accessing the access point apparatus,wherein the power information includes set demand response (DR) mode data as attribute data, and a value of the attribute data, andwherein the controller is configured to pause the driving unit at a time corresponding to a peak time in the DR mode data and to re-operate the driving unit after the peak time,wherein the network related information is transmitted as a first single data packet to the access point apparatus, the first single data packet including a first pair including a first attribute data for port information and a first value of the first attribute data, a second pair including a second attribute data for a product id and a second value of the second attribute data, a third pair including a third attribute data for a device name and a third value of the third attribute data and a fourth pair including a fourth attribute data for a device password and a fourth value of the fourth attribute data,wherein the product related information is transmitted as a second single data packet to the access point apparatus, the second single data packet including the second pair, the third pair, the fourth pair, and a fifth pair including a fifth attribute data for a domain name of the server and the fourth value of the fifth attribute data.
