Home network system with multi-network manager and method for controlling the same

Abstract

A home network system and a method for controlling the same. The home network system includes one or more network managers or one or more master units to perform an operation control function and a state monitoring function of home appliances connected to the same network. In the case where the network managers or the master units each generate an operation control signal to perform an operation control function or a state monitoring function, and are connected to a new network or further connected to a typical network, the home network system automatically establishes network information, and performs a database (DB) synchronization function associated with changed network information, such that a variety of network configurations can be configured, resulting in increased control convenience.
