Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic device and a method of controlling the same, and more specifically, to a network configuration technology for electronic devices to be registered in a home network system. An electronic device according to one embodiment includes a communicator configured to perform data communication with a new electronic device which is not registered in an access point (AP), a storage which stores authentication information for accessing the AP, and a controller configured to, when the controller receives device identification information of the new electronic device through the communicator, control the communicator to transmit the authentication information, which allows the new electronic device to access the AP, to the new electronic device based on the received identification information.

Abstract: An energy management device which manages energy usage of at least one electric device, the energy management device including a sensor unit for detecting environment conditions including at least one of temperature, humidity, and luminance of an environment where the electric device is used; a pattern analyzing unit for analyzing an energy usage pattern of a user for using the electric device; and an energy management unit for generating energy management information for managing energy usage of the electric device based on the detected environment conditions and the analyzed energy usage pattern.

Abstract: Disclosed is a network system and a control method thereof, the network system including a gateway connected to a plurality of home appliances through a home area network, an outdoor apparatus connected to the gateway through a network, and a dynamic domain name system (DDNS) server to manage dynamic internet protocol (IP) address information about an apparatus using a dynamic IP address. A communication connection is achieved through a dynamic IP between a gateway inside the home and an apparatus outside the home in a smart grid network environment, so a user can easily access in-home services based on a dynamic IP. In addition, unauthorized traffic, which may be introduced into the home, is automatically blocked, so that the quality of the home network service is improved.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF)-mode temporary opening method and device in home network environments. The RF-mode temporary door lock opening method includes transmitting to a communication terminal an access allowance confirmation message and information on an access card to be temporarily issued; receiving an access allowance approval message from the communication terminal; and transmitting to a home gateway the information on the access card in order to register in a door lock the information on the access card.

Abstract: A brushless DC motor having external and internal permanent magnets buried in rotor core in a two-tier structure to form the poles of the rotor, thereby improving efficiency of the motor and reducing vibration and noise, as well.
