Abstract: One routing device which connects plural networks on which a plurality of other routing devices, including a parent router, are connected. The parent router manages network identification data to identify the plural networks. Master router data is included for each corresponding other routing device. Master router data includes master router identification data identifying whether the corresponding other routing device is a “master router” located on a path to the parent router or a “slave router” which is a routing device other than the master router, and includes network identification data identifying a network to which the corresponding other routing device connects. Upon startup of the one routing device, the master router data is acquired from the other routing devices on the networks to which the one routing device connects. It is determined whether a router function of the one routing device is enabled based on the acquired master router data.

Abstract: In a control network system of household electric appliances, particularly, an each introduction of a household electric appliance thereto does not cause a change in the means of acquiring operation data by a controller, and the electric power consumption of a controller is made less. A home network system is simplified and made efficient. As a means for the above, an accessible device in a common manner to household electric appliances is incorporated into a controller by object processing using communications middlewares, and a device for linked operations is incorporated into household electric appliances. Then, it is noted that each household electric appliance needs a specific kind of another appliance and operation data thereof.

Abstract: In a home bus system in which a multiplicity of networks each having a multiplicity of appliances connected thereto are connected one another, information is easily exchanged between appliances over different networks. An address configuration that is processed in application software and communication middleware has a network ID and a network appliance ID. On each network, there is provided a particular router having information about all the connections of other networks than the each network. Under this configuration, an appliance transmits a message directed to another network, only to a particular router and the particular router establishes an appropriate route for transmission, as considering the actual states of the networks.
