NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A network system comprising:
- an advanced metering infrastructure interactively communicating with a power supply source and measuring energy supplied from the power supply source;
an energy management system connected to the advanced metering infrastructure to communicate with the advanced metering infrastructure and controlling an operation of an electric product based on information about the operation of the electric product or energy information supplied from the power supply source,a computer connected to the electric product or the energy management system to communicate with the electric product or the energy management system; and
a diagnostic program that is performed by the energy management system or the computer and diagnoses a trouble of the electric product.

Abstract
Provided is a network system including an advanced metering infrastructure, an energy management system, a computer, and a diagnostic program. The advanced metering infrastructure interactively communicates with a power supply source and measures energy from the power supply source. The energy management system is connected to the advanced metering infrastructure to communicate with it and controls an operation of an electric product based on operation information of the electric product or energy information from the power supply source. The computer is connected to the electric product or energy management system to communicate with the electric product or energy management system. The diagnostic program is performed by the energy management system or computer and diagnoses a trouble of the electric product. An electric product having a trouble is remotely diagnosed to provide a quick countermeasure, thereby detecting the cause of the trouble without a service engineer and improving a user'"'"'s convenience.
