Home network system
First Claim
1. A home network system, comprising:
- at least one new device including a node address having an initial logical address when accessing the home network system through a network based on a predetermined protocol, transmitting a configuration request message having the node address to a master device through the network, receiving a temporary address setting request message having a predetermined temporary logical address range, changing the initial logical address by selecting one temporary logical address, generating a temporary address setting response message having the selected temporary logical address, transmitting the temporary address setting response message to the master device, receiving an address change request message having a predetermined logical address from the master device, changing the temporary logical address into the received logical address, and having a unique node address; and
at least one master device connected to the new device through the network, for receiving the plurality of configuration request messages from the new device, setting the temporary logical address range for the new device, transmitting the temporary address setting request message having the set temporary logical address range to the new device, receiving the temporary address setting response message from the new device, setting the predetermined logical address of the new device, and transmitting the address change request message having the set logical address to the new device of the selected temporary address.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a home network system using a living network control protocol. The home network system includes: at least one new device including a node address having an initial logical address through a network based on a predetermined protocol, transmitting a configuration request message having the node address to a master device, receiving a temporary address setting request message, changing the initial logical address by selecting one temporary logical address, generating a temporary address setting response message, transmitting the temporary address setting response message to the master device, receiving an address change request message having a predetermined logical address from the master device, changing the temporary logical address into the received logical address, and having a unique node address; and at least one master device for receiving the plurality of configuration request messages from the new device, setting the temporary logical address range for the new device, transmitting the temporary address setting request message having the set temporary logical address range to the new device, receiving the temporary address setting response message from the new device, setting the predetermined logical address of the new device, and transmitting the address change request message having the set logical address to the new device of the selected temporary address.

25. An electric device, comprising:
-
an interface means accessing through a network based on a predetermined protocol;
a storage means for storing a home net profile having node addresses of devices connected to the network, and a predetermined logical address; and
a control means connected to a new device through the interface means, for receiving a plurality of configuration request messages including a node address having an initial logical address from the new device, setting a temporary logical address range for the new device by reading the logical address from the storage means, transmitting a temporary address setting request message having the set temporary logical address range to the new device, receiving a temporary address setting response message from the new device, setting a logical address of the new device by reading the logical address from the storage means, and transmitting an address change request message having the set logical address to the new device of the selected temporary address. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. An electric device, comprising:
-
an interface means communicating with a home network system through a network based on a predetermined protocol;
a storage means for storing a logical address having at least a product code and an initial logical address; and
when the interface means accesses the home network system, a control means for transmitting a configuration request message having the node address to the home network system, receiving a temporary address setting request message having a predetermined temporary logical address range, changing the initial logical address by selecting one temporary logical address, generating a temporary address setting response message having the selected temporary logical address, transmitting the temporary address setting response message to the home network system, receiving an address change request message having a predetermined logical address from the home network system, changing the temporary logical address into the received logical address, and storing a unique node address in the storage means. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
