Then, after the Web browser 8 of ASP server 7 differentiation operating terminals 6 (S7), show TOP picture (S8).In example shown in Figure 5, as the attribute information that shows by each group, " 1 ", " 2 ", " 3 " (with reference to Fig. 8) have been set in demonstration place (the demonstration place on the PC6a) as group " A " under corresponding, and, " title.gif ", " cm.gif ", " topics.gif " have been preserved as the corresponding image file that these show the place, moreover, as to link that should image file, " http://AAA/index.html ", " http://AAA/cm.html ", " http://AAA/topics.html " have been set.Therefore, send such html file to user's PC6a, can utilize the Web browser 8 of PC6a to show the TOP picture by ASP server 7.
But, in the TOP picture that PC6a uses, shown a plurality of displaying contents of being used to form the TOP picture that ASP server 7 has (demonstration of a frame that forms by the Web material).
In example shown in Figure 9, the displaying contents that is presented at the TOP picture 12 on the PC6a comprises that the displaying contents of each group under common title picture 12a, premises home appliance list picture (operation screen) 12b, the user is advertisement picture 12c, topic picture 12d.In addition, the icon 12e that in premises home appliance list picture 12b, has shown expression network home appliance 5.Be used to show the displaying contents of these pictures, going up with the PC6a that is presented at the display with big pixel count originally is that prerequisite is made, therefore, even a plurality of displaying contents will be presented on the PC6a, also can full content be presented on the picture of PC6a without a doubt.
But, having used as operating terminal 6 under the situation of televisor 6b, the pixel count of televisor 6b lacks (also is identical even televisor 6b becomes big picture) than PC6a, so can not show whole displaying contents that can show on PC6a.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, when ASP server 7 for example was the Netfront of used as television at the Web browser 8 that determines operating terminal 6, being judged as operating terminal 6 was televisor 6b, showed premises home appliance list picture 12b (with reference to Figure 10) as title picture 12a and displaying contents.Under this situation, the Web material of the displaying contents of the premises home appliance list picture 12b that on televisor 6b, shows, identical with the Web material of the displaying contents of the premises home appliance list picture 12b that on televisor 6b, shows, realized commonization of Web material.
Moreover, in the present embodiment,, utilize epidermis change displaying contents according to the group under the user.That is,, all in skin1, TOP picture 12 is switched to blue the demonstration, in skin2, switch to yellow the demonstration no matter be that in the TOP picture 12 used of the TOP picture 12 used of PC6a as shown in Figure 9 or televisor 6b shown in Figure 10 which shows.Under this situation, show that required Web material (parts) is identical, just its Show Color is changed by epidermis.In addition, be not only color, also can show with different layouts.Therefore, only change epidermis, just can on PC6a or televisor 6b, show TOP picture 12 with the display mode that is suitable for organizing under the user.
In order to realize such function, as shown in Figure 6, on ASP server 7, each epidermis has been set catalogue, use identical parts.That is,, also can make the technique of expression difference of each affiliated group of user by the change epidermis even it is identical to constitute the parts of displaying contents.
And, as mentioned above,, can carry out far distance controlled to the network home appliance 5 of hope by to being presented at the operation of the TOP picture 12 on PC6a or the televisor 6b.For example, the user uses PC6a to want as operating terminal 6 under the situation of operational example such as air conditioner, clicks utilizing mouse to select to be presented under the state of icon 12e of the air conditioner on the PC6a.In addition, use televisor 6b to want as operating terminal 6 under the situation of operating air conditioner machine, under the state of the icon 12e that has selected air conditioner with the cross key 14 of telepilot shown in Figure 11 13, operation " determining " key 15.
At this, the icon 12e of each network home appliance 5 in the TOP picture 12 has been specified the needed link of the operation screen of making each network home appliance 5, the hyperlink target when selecting.For example, the icon 12e of air conditioner has been given the link of " aircon.html " in being kept at ASP server 7.
If operation " determining " key 15 under the state of the icon 12e of the air conditioner on the TOP picture of having selected to be presented on the operating terminal 6, because the link of having given " 192.168.1.1/b/aircon.html " to this icon, so televisor 6b visits home gateway 3 with the access path of " 192.168.1.1/b/aircon.html ".
With " 192.168.1.1/b/aircon.html " when having visited home gateway 3, since comprising "/b/ " in the access path, therefore, according to setting as above-mentioned acting server, do not use http to encrypt and just visit ASP server 7, request " aircon.html ".
Below, the example of " aircon.html " that be set in the ASP server 7 is shown.

In this program, the control information that is used to specify script (script) language is by being included in "/a/ " in the access path, expression is encrypted, and the information that is used for showing the air conditioner operation screen is by being included in access path with "/b/ ", and expression is not encrypted.
In addition, ASP server 7 is when operating terminal 6 sends the program of above-mentioned " aircon.html ", and 6 usefulness http are accessed from operating terminal, and the html label self-encryption that therefore will not constitute " aircon.html " just sends.
The Web browser 8 of operating terminal 6 has been when ASP server 7 has received " aircon.html ", and carrying out should " aircon.html ".
That is, make TOP picture 12 necessary control informations and air conditioner operation screen to 7 requests of ASP server.At this moment, home gateway 3 judges from the access path that operating terminal 6 receives whether include "/a/ " or "/b/ ", under the situation that includes "/a/ ", promptly in above-mentioned program example, to encrypt as " aircontrol.js " of control information with hhtps, and to the ASP server requests.In addition, under the situation that includes "/b/ ", promptly in above-mentioned program example, " aircon.gif " just do not encrypted and ask (with reference to Figure 12 and Figure 13) to ASP server 7 with http.
By aforesaid work, send unencrypted " aircon.html " via home gateway 3 to operating terminal 6 from ASP server 7, then send " aircontrol.js ", the unencrypted of encrypting " aircon.gif " successively, so on operating terminal 6, show TOP picture (with reference to Figure 12 and Figure 13).
Figure 14 illustrates the sequential between operating terminal 6 (being televisor 6b among the figure), ASP server 7, the network home appliance 5 (being air conditioner 5a among the figure).In Figure 14, ASP server 7 bases are from the state of the access confirmation air conditioner 5a of televisor 6b, when air conditioner 5a return state, according to the information that obtains display-operation picture on televisor 6b.At this moment, on televisor 6b during display-operation picture, ASP server 7 switches the demonstration of the cursor that is used to select icon according to the current state of air conditioner 5a.That is, as illustrated in fig. 16, when air conditioner 5a is in ("Yes" of S1) when in service, in cursor being become stop (S2); Stop ("No" of S1) when middle when air conditioner 5a is in, make cursor become (S3) in service, make such operation screen and send to televisor 6b via home gateway 3.
By above work, on televisor 6b, show the operation screen 16 of air conditioner 5a as shown in figure 17.In this operation screen 16, show " pass " button 18 that is used to move " opening " button 17 of air conditioner 5a and is used to stop air conditioner 5a.At this moment, in operation screen 16, be under the situation of (being that cold air is in service among the figure) in service at air conditioner 5a, " pass " button 18 shows with the state of being selected in advance by cursor (thick line among the figure).In addition, under air conditioner 5a is in situation in stopping, " drives " button 17 as illustrated in fig. 18 and show with the state of being selected in advance by cursor.
Moreover, during air conditioner 5a during the user is will be in the operation screen 16 of air conditioner 5a out of service, because " passs " button 18 shows with selecteed state in advance, so operate " determining " key 15 of the telepilot 13 of televisor 6b.Thus, televisor 6b sends to ASP server 7 via home gateway 3 as illustrated in fig. 14 will be to the halt instruction of air conditioner 5a, for example the request message that comprises as the CGI parameter.
If ASP server 7 receives this request message, with for example constitute by CGI parameter etc., to the halt instruction of air conditioner 5a, be converted in the ECHONET agreement, to the halt instruction of air conditioner 5a, send it to home gateway 3.
When family's gateway 3 receive based on ECHONET network agreement to the halt instruction of air conditioner 5a the time, send halt instruction to air conditioner 5a.
By above work, utilize operation, the air conditioner 5a that can stop to move with far distance controlled to telepilot 13.
At this moment, when ASP server 7 confirms that according to closing of air conditioner the state of air conditioner 5a is switched to situation in stopping as illustrated in fig. 14, the cursor that is presented on the operation screen of operating terminal 6 is moved to " opening " button 17.Therefore, the user can utilize telepilot 13 by 1 operation to " determining " key 15, is used to move the operation of air conditioner 5a simply.
And as mentioned above, in order in the operation screen 16 of air conditioner 5a cursor to be moved to " opening " button 17 from " pass " button 18, the communication of carrying out between home gateway 3 and ASP server 7 is non-SSL traffic.This is because from the Internet traffic of 3 pairs of ASP servers 7 of home gateway, just be used for not comprising the information of determining equipment especially according to controlling the image information necessary that the result determines action button.
On the other hand, sequential chart as shown in figure 15 is such, and ASP server 7 is when having confirmed the state of air conditioner 5a, and when air conditioner 5a was in the fault, " opening " button 17 and " pass " button 18 in the operation screen that shows on televisor 6b all can not be selected.By will for example give to " pass " button 18 "＜a href="/cgi-bin/on.cgi "〉＜img src=" off.gif "＜/a " record of such URL is transformed to "＜img src=" off.gif "〉", just can implement such control method.
According to such embodiment, on operating terminal 6, show when being used for the operation screen of operational network household electrical appliances 5, can be used in the action button of carrying out the operation different with the current running status of network home appliance 5, show with the state of selecting with the cursor preliminary election, so, under situation about by operation network home appliance 5 being switched to now different running statuses, can utilize the single job of " determining " key 15 of telepilot 13 is switched the telepilot 13 of televisor 6b.Therefore, compare, operability is oversimplified with situation about determining after the action button of the hope that comes the selection operation picture by operation to the various keys of TV remote controller.
