Abstract
Provided is a component for a network system, which includes a communication device for receiving at least energy information, a component driver part driven by supplied energy, and a control part that recognizes high price-related information or low price-related information, based on the energy information received by the communication device and that controls the component driver part. A method of controlling the component driver part when the high price-related information is recognized is different from a method of controlling the component driver part when the low price-related information is recognized.
