NETWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING NETWORK SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An energy consumption component for a network system, comprising:
- a communication device in which energy information related to energy is communicated+; and
a controller to control an operation of the energy consumption component based on the energy information,wherein the controller checks whether communication of the communication device is possible, and when the communication device is in a communication failure state, the controller controls the energy consumption component operation based on previously stored energy information or operation information of the energy consumption component.

Abstract
A method of controlling a network system is provided. The network system includes a metering device measuring energy supplied from a power supply source, a communication device in which energy information related to the energy communicates, and an energy management device recognizing the energy information, the energy management device controlling an operation of an electric product. The metering device or the energy management device checks whether communication of the communication device is possible. Also, when it is determined that the communication device is in a communication failure state, the communication failure state is displayed on the outside thereof. When a communication modem mounted on the electric product is in a communication failure state, the electric product may normally perform a power management program, based on power or operation information stored therein.

18. A method of controlling a network system, a communication modem in which energy information related to energy supplied from a power supply source is communicated, the communication modem being coupled to an electric product and a controller controlling an operation of the electric product based on the energy information, the method comprising:
-
determining whether communication of the communication device is possible; and controlling an operation of the electric product;
based on energy information or operation information previously stored in the electric product or the controller when the communication modem is in a communication failure state. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
