Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de réseau domestique mobile (60) permettant à un utilisateur de communiquer avec un système de réseau domestique (60) comprenant divers types de réseaux, au moyen d'un terminal utilisateur mobile (10). Le système de réseau domestique mobile (60) comprend un terminal maître domestique (70) connecté à un serveur de services mobile externe (24), aux fins d'accès à un terminal utilisateur mobile (10), par l'intermédiaire d'un premier réseau (30), en fonction d'un protocole prédéterminé permettant d'émettre et de recevoir un premier paquet renfermant des informations de commande relatives à un appareil domestique, connecté à au moins un appareil domestique par l'intermédiaire d'un second réseau (90) séparé du premier réseau (30), aux fins d'émission et de réception d'un second paquet différent du premier, convertissant mutuellement les premier et second paquets et émettant les paquets convertis respectivement vers le serveur de services mobile (24) et l'appareil domestique; un serveur de services mobile (24) connecté au terminal utilisateur mobile (10) par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de communication sans fil et connecté à un terminal maître domestique (70) par le biais du premier réseau (30), aux fins d'émission du premier paquet vers le terminal utilisateur mobile (10) et le terminal maître domestique (70) et de réception du premier paquet à partir de ceux-ci; ainsi qu'un terminal utilisateur mobile (10) permettant d'entrer et de sortir le premier paquet et d'émettre le premier paquet vers le serveur de services mobile (24) et de recevoir ledit paquet à partir de celui-ci.
