Abstract

A method for recognizing an electronic appliance in multiple control system for controlling at least one electronic appliance is disclosed, which includes the steps for setting each ID including a variable value and a fixed value to the electronic appliances, determining whether the electronic appliances of the same model exist among the connected electronic appliances on connecting the electronic appliances to the multiple control system by reading corresponding ID and analyzing the ID value; changing the ID of the connected electronic appliance in case that the electronic appliances of the same model exist; and recognizing the corresponding electronic appliance as the changed ID.
