An information registration unit provides service information received from the domestic device in the sub-network and/or the updated service information, to the master server. An information generation unit controls the domestic device in the sub-network based on the service information and generates management information in a web page format. An information providing unit provides the control and management information generated via a user-based interface. A command converting unit converts and provides a command-based command between the domestic-network and the sub-network.
