Home network system
First Claim
1. A home network system, comprising:
- a network based on a predetermined protocol;
at least one electric device connected to the network; and
a network manager connected to the network, for controlling and monitoring the electric device, wherein the protocol comprises an application layer for handling a message for controlling and/or monitoring the electric device, a network layer for network-connecting the electric device to the network manager, a data link layer for accessing a shared transmission medium, and a physical layer for providing a physical interface between the electric device and the network manager, wherein the physical layer further comprises a special protocol for providing an interface with a dependent transmission medium, and the network layer further comprises a home code control sub-layer for managing a home code for network security when accessing the dependent transmission medium.
