Abstract
A system where a home server can recognize a location of a home device in a home network. The home device includes a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag which stores information about the home device, and each plug receptacle constituting the home network has an RFID reader. Accordingly, the RFID reader checks the location of the RFID tag in real time and transfers the information about the RFID tag and a receptacle identifier to a home server, so that the home server recognizes the location of the home device in real time using the information transferred. Therefore, using the transferred information, the home server can recognize in real-time the location of the home device, and also transfer necessary information to the home device.
