Abstract
A system and method are provided for simulating a home network, in which elements of the home network are implemented by software even before the home network is equipped with all necessary elements, so that a user can simulate the home network through a graphical user interface. The system includes: a client having a graphical user interface through which a user inputs a control message which controls a device and recognizes a response message to the input control message; and a server transmitting a device entity corresponding to the input control message, and selectively transmits multiple response messages to the client in response to the received control message.
Claims21
A system for simulating a home network, the system comprising:
- a client which generates an input control message for controlling a device and receives a response message to the input control message;
- and
- a server which analyzes the input control message, and transmits a response message to the client in response to the received control message.
A method for simulating a home network, the method comprising:
- inputting a control message which controls a controlled device through a user interface provided by a first device;
- transmitting the input control message to a second device;
- transmitting the control message from the second device to a device entity corresponding to the input control message and generating a response message corresponding to the transmitted control message;
- and
- transmitting the generated response message to the first device.
