METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VISITOR CALL IN HOME NETWORK SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a visitor'"'"'s call by a first terminal in a home network system, the method comprising:
- reading home information pre-stored in a communication module when communication with the communication module installed outside the home is possible;
transmitting a visit request message including the home information and identification information of the first terminal to the smart home server or at least one second terminal from among a plurality of second terminals; and
communicating with the at least one second terminal when at least one of the plurality of second terminals accepts communication with the first terminal.

Abstract
Disclosed is a technology for a sensor network, machine to machine (M2M), machine type communication (MTC), and internet of things (IoT). The present disclosure can be used for intelligent services (for example, services related to a smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security, and safety) based on the technology. A method of controlling a visitor'"'"'s call by a first terminal in a home network system includes: reading home information pre-stored in the communication module when communication with a communication module installed inside the home is possible; transmitting a visit request message including the home information and identification information of the first terminal to the smart home server or a at least on second terminal from among a plurality of second terminals; and communicating with the at least one second terminal when at least one of the plurality of second terminals accepts communication with the first terminal.
