Means for Solving the Problems Conventionally, a method of making a telephone call and remotely controlling home appliances by a pulse signal or the like has been generally used. By receiving the described operation command, the home appliance connected via the LAN is operated, which is different from the prior art. The major disadvantage of the conventional product is that it is connected to a remotely controlled home appliance with a telephone line,
Because of the installation method, the wiring of the telephone line was restricted, and the installation position was limited. In addition, it was difficult to install a plurality of similar home appliances due to the problem of the number of telephone lines. According to the present invention, a remote control is performed by a server connected to an Internet line or the like receiving an operation instruction by e-mail and transmitting the received operation instruction to a home appliance connected to a LAN.
By using N, there is no restriction on the number of telephone wirings and installation positions of conventional products, and the system can easily remotely control a plurality of home appliances.
