Digital home information integrating system

A digital home information integrating system comprising:

• a first group of digital apparatuses residing within a home, and outputting and receiving first digital home information having a relatively larger volume of data at a relatively higher data transmitting speed;
• a first network couple to the first group of digital apparatuses for receiving and transmitting the first digital home information from and to the first group of digital apparatuses at the relatively higher data transmitting speed;
• a second group of digital apparatuses residing within the home outputting and receiving second digital home information having a relatively smaller volume of data at a relatively lower data transmitting speed;
• a second network coupled to the second group of digital apparatuses for receiving and transmitting the second digital home information from and to the second group of digital apparatuses at the relatively lower data transmitting speed;
• integrating and converting means coupled to the first and second networks for exchanging the first and second digital home information therebetween through the first and second networks by converting protocols and data transmitting speeds of the first and second digital home information having the higher and lower data transmitting speeds respectively;
• and
• home-to-outside connecting means for receiving and transmitting the first and second digital home information to and from outside of the home;
• wherein the first network is coupled to the home-to-outside connecting means through first network connecting means and the second network is coupled to the home-to-outside connecting means through second network connecting means independent of said first network connecting means;
• and
• wherein the second network comprises an electric power line system.
