Home gateway system with power management function
First Claim
1. A home gateway system having a power management function that includes one or more function modules for controlling electrical and electronic products at home by function and a power supply for supplying electric power to the one or more function modules, comprising:
- a signal input unit for externally receiving a control signal;
a control unit for generating a power control signal for controlling the power applied to respective ones of the function modules in response to the control signal, generating a standby setting signal for setting the respective function modules to a standby state, and selectively applying the standby setting signal to the respective function modules; and
a power switching unit for turning the respective function modules on or off in response to the power control signal.

Abstract
A home gateway system having a power management function includes function modules for controlling electrical/electronic products at home by function and a power supply for supplying electrical power to the function modules. The home gateway system further includes a signal input unit for externally receiving a control signal; a control unit for generating a power control signal for controlling the power applied to the respective function modules in response to the control signal, generating a standby setting signal for setting the respective function modules into a standby state, and selectively applying the standby setting signal to the respective function modules; and a power switching unit for turning the respective function modules on or off in response to the power control signal. Accordingly, the home gateway system can selectively turn off or on individual function modules, and set or release inactive function modules to or from the standby state.
