A notebook (WLAN) 12 or a PDA (WCDMA, WLAN) 14 or the like which generate and transmit and receive may be used.

The network that transmits the data transmitted from the mobile phone 10, the notebook 12, and the PDA 14 or the data transmitted from the HNSN 22 receives a control signal transmitted from the mobile phone 10 to receive a network. Or a base station 16 which transmits the transmitted control status signal to the mobile phone 10, and receives a control signal transmitted from the notebook 12 or the PDA 14 to the network or transmits the received control signal. An access point (AP) 18 that transmits a control status signal to the notebook 12 or PDA 14, and a signal transmitted from the base station 16 and the access point 18 in a wired or wireless manner to receive the download. It is composed of a mobile network 20 for transmitting to the area for performing event management, such as a request signal.

The event management area is a home network serving node (HNSN) 22 performing a central server function. The HNSN 22 is connected to the Internet 24 to perform event management such as a download request signal of an area installed in the home. The configuration thereof will be described later in detail.

The area installed in the premises includes an RG (Regular Gateway) 26, which is a premises gateway connected to the Internet 24, and any data network that can be linked with data processing to perform control, monitoring and interlocking operations. The device 28 is made up of configurable home appliances, computers, security equipment, remote meter reading equipment, remote medical equipment and the like. In reference numeral 28, the device will be denoted by the same reference numeral for convenience of description. In the present embodiment, the device 28 uses a conventional device capable of downloading and playing music and melody.

In addition, a music download server 30 for storing music or melody and transmitting the music or melody list and the selected music or melody in response to the download request signal is further provided.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the detailed configuration and operation of a home network service (HNSN) system interworking with a home gateway (RG) and a music download server will be described.

The HNSN system includes an application server 22a interworking with the mobile network 20; HnsnUPnP 22b serving as a home network middleware; A user / device information DB 22c; And HnsnRgIF 22d serving as a home network interface. At this time, the HnsnUPnP 22b and the HnsnRgIF 22d are linked with the RG 28.

The application server 22a receives and processes a request of each terminal and converts a response from the HnsnUPnP 22b into a format suitable for the terminal.

At this time, each terminal connects to the WEB server of the HNSN 22, and the request of each terminal is analyzed by XML in the user application server 22a and transmitted to the HnsnUPnP 22b. In addition, the response from the HnsnUPnP 22b is converted to each terminal using XML and then transmitted to each user application server 22a.

The HnsnRgIF 22d is a process responsible for RG registration, authentication, and connection management, and communicates with RG 28 using SOAP over TCP / IP. In addition, it is a process performed as a daemon, and receives and processes a request from the RG 28.

Here, SOAP is a protocol used to make XML with Simple Object Access Protocol. It is a protocol that connects different things so that any platform can access the server and service using XML and HTTP.

The HnsnUPnP 22b is a process of receiving and processing equipment control and event control commands from the user application server 22a. This process is executed as a daemon, and receives a request from the user application server 22a or receives a request from the RG 28 and processes it.

In addition, the device and the service description (description) file is obtained from the RG 28 and stored, and the user application server 22a uses it when controlling equipment.

At this time, the user's ID and Password are input, and based on this, the home (home) is identified by which HNSN (22).

The type of the indoor device 28 to be downloaded from the mobile phone 10 or the PC 12 is input.

The HNSN 22 that receives the information of the device 28 checks whether the user's home device 28 is available and can download music or melody. At this time, if it is determined that the corresponding device 28 is available, the device 28 determines the state of the corresponding device 28 and requests the music download server 30 for downloadable music or melody to the device 28.

Therefore, a list of downloadable music or melody is requested and delivered to the user's mobile phone 10 or PC 12 for display.

When the user selects a corresponding music or melody and transmits a download request signal, the HNSN 22 receives the selected music or melody from the music download server 30 and delivers the selected music or melody to the RG 26.

After identifying the device, the RG 26 transmits the melody transmitted from the HNSN 22 to the device 28.

The device 28 downloads and installs the transmitted melody.

To this end, the devices 28 must have a clint program capable of receiving melody or music or have a play function.

As such, it is possible to download music or melody downloaded only to the existing mobile phone (ringtone download) to the home appliance.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it will be apparent that many modifications are possible by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention.
