the home database server of informational household appliance is for storing static data of the informational household appliance including at least an identification code of the informational household appliance;

the household gateway server is for monitoring status of an informational household appliance linked to the household gateway server in real time; and

the data managing server of informational household appliance is for storing operation data of an informational household appliance in operation including at least static data of the informational household appliance, operation status data of the informational household appliance, and address information of a household gateway server corresponding to the informational household appliance.

21. The data storing system of claim 20, wherein, the home database server of informational household appliance, the household gateway server and the data managing server of informational household appliance are linked to each other through a communication network.

22. The data storing system of claim 21, wherein, the communication network comprises an IP multimedia subsystem network and an IP access network linked to each other;

the home database server of informational household appliance and the data managing server of informational household appliance are linked to the IP multimedia subsystem network, and the household gateway server is linked to the IP access network.

23. A data processing method of an informational household appliance comprising:

Process 11, sending an identification code of an informational household appliance to a household gateway server when the informational household appliance is linked to the household gateway server;

Process 12, sending, by the household gateway server, an on-line message including the identification code to a data managing server of informational household appliance;

Process 13, extracting, by the data managing server of informational household appliance, the identification code from the on-line message upon receiving the on-line message;

Process 14, querying, by the data managing server of informational household appliance, a home database server of informational household appliance of the informational household appliance based on the identification code and obtaining static data of the informational household appliance from the home database server of informational household appliance;

Process 15, storing, by the data managing server of informational household appliance, the static data;

Process 16, sending, by the data managing server of informational household appliance, the static data to the household gateway server;

Process 17, storing, by the household gateway server, the static data of the informational household appliance.

24. The method of claim 23, wherein, between Process 13 and Process 14, the method further comprises:

Process 13a, checking whether or not the identification code is stored in the data managing server of informational household appliance, if yes, terminating the data processing process, otherwise, execute Process 14.

25. The method of claim 24, wherein, if the data managing server of informational household appliance stores the information of a subscriber that has subscribed to an informational household appliance on-line event corresponding to the household gateway server, in Process 13a, if the data managing server of informational household appliance has stored with it the identification code of the informational household appliance, before terminating the data processing process, the method further comprises:

the data managing server of informational household appliance sends an on-line event message including the identification code to the subscription device corresponding to the subscriber based on stored information of the subscriber.

26. The method of claim 24, wherein, in Process 14, after the data managing server of informational household appliance obtains the static data of the informational household appliance, the method further comprises:

sending, by the data managing server of informational household appliance, an on-line event message including the identification code and the static data of the informational household appliance to the subscription device corresponding to the subscriber based on the stored information of the subscriber that has subscribed to the informational household appliance on-line event corresponding to the household gateway server.

27. The method of claim 26, wherein, before sending the on-line event message including the identification code and the static data of the informational household appliance to the subscription device corresponding to the subscriber, the method further comprises:

judging whether the subscription device is a home database server of informational household appliance, if yes, sending the on-line event message including the identification code to the home database server of informational household appliance;

otherwise, sending the on-line event message including the identification code and the static data of the informational household appliance to the subscription device corresponding to the subscriber.

28. The method of claim 23, wherein, in Process 13, after extracting the identification code, the method further comprises:
