Abstract
A control target device receives, from a control point device connected to a first network, a message for requesting movement to a second network. The control target device transmits a network movement advertising message to the control point device of the first network. The control target device disconnects from the first network and accesses the second network.The control point device collects device information on a plurality of control target devices connected to a plurality of networks. When a network of one control target device selected from the plurality of control target devices is different from a network of the control point device, the control point device accesses the network of the selected control target device.
