Abstract
A home network system using a living network control protocol. The home network system includes: at least two electric devices (e.g., a first and a second electric device); and a network based on a predetermined network for networking the electric devices, wherein the first electric device sends a request message to the second electric device, and the second electric device sends a response message to the first electric device, wherein the response message transmitted from a lower layer to an upper layer of the second electric device is transmitted to a lower layer and then to an upper layer of the first electric device, and includes a command code included in the request message, for indicating an operation for the second electric device to execute, and a field related to an execution of the request.
