Therefore, the control data provision server can be reduced in capacity and burden thereon, and in turn in construction and maintenance costs.

Abstract: A home network system including a protocol converter for converting protocols such that a passive home appliance and a home server connected to a network smoothly communicate signals based on different protocols with each other and a method for operating the home network system. The protocol converter converts a status information signal based on a home appliance protocol from the passive home appliance to transmit it to the home server. The protocol converter converts a control signal based on a home server protocol from the home server to transmit it to the passive home appliance. Therefore, the home server can be compatible with the passive home appliance irrespective of manufacturer and/or protocol of the passive home appliance connected to the network. Compatibility and applicability of the home network system are thus extended and simultaneously the home network system becomes more cost-effective.
