Also, although the registration method by communication between the energy management unit and the energy measurement unit may be different depending on the type of the energy measurement unit, according to the prior art, there is a problem that it can not cope with various registration methods.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a network system and an information acquisition method capable of acquiring information related to energy provided by a power company.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gateway server for receiving energy related information from an energy measurement unit capable of communicating with a power company server or a power company server; And a home appliance for controlling a load based on information received from the gate server, the gate server performing a DNS-SD request specifying security information for registration, receiving a response to a DNS-SD request A network system is provided which attempts to register with the energy measuring unit in any one of a plurality of registration methods for registration.
According to the proposed invention, since the home appliances can perform two registration methods irrespective of the policy of the electric power company, there is an advantage that compatibility can be ensured.
In addition, there is an advantage that the household appliances can receive the energy information provided by the electric power company irrespective of the installation area or location.
In addition, energy information is received and transmitted through a plurality of communication methods through the first communication unit and the second communication unit, and the information acquisition process is stable.
