  • the present invention relates to a method of controlling an indoor device, and a system for controlling an indoor device, more particularly, to a method for controlling an indoor device from outdoor, and a system of the same.
  • the remote control to a device is executed on a dedicated network. Since the price of communication medium is expensive, the usage of such traditional remote control is only limited to some industrial applications. However, with the popular of Internet, controlling various devices through Internet appears and gets widespread. Because of the convenience and low price of remote control through internet, those electrical appliance such as refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner, television can be remotely controlled, which results in the appearance of Home Internet Appliances (HIA) and makes the user able to remotely manipulate those home internet appliances.
  • HIPA Home Internet Appliances
  • US patent application publication No. US2003/0009537 discloses a home network architecture over World Wide Web (WWW).
  • WWW World Wide Web
  • a user can remotely control a device in home from outdoor by sending a request to a home portal therefrom.
  • the home portal forwards the request of the user to a home network gateway.
  • the home network gateway uses a home network IP address registered in the home portal, i.e. a static IP address of the home network gateway.
  • the home network gateway can communicate with the requested device and control it by using an internal home network searching method.
  • the conventional technique as described above has the drawbacks as follows. Firstly, due to the usage of a registered IP address, the home network gateway thus has a public IP address in the public network domain. This public IP address may raise a security problem since a hacker can try to attack any known IP address. Secondly, the number of IP addresses is limited and its capacity is not enough. Because most of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) only provide a few IP addresses to a customer, it is obvious that the IP addresses are not enough if each device in home of the customer corresponds to a different IP address. In order to solve the above two problems, a router or firewall with a function of Network Address Translation (NAT) can be used in home so as to protect the devices and share the valuable IP address resource. However, such a method will bring the following problems about NAT.
  • ISPs Internet Service Providers
  • NAT Network Address Translation
  • the static public IP address can be set through the NAT mechanism to be mapped to the private IP address of one home electrical appliance, such a setting procedure is not very easy to a user without professional knowledge in this term.
  • Fig. 1 in order to transfer a control packet to an indoor device 1 1 , it is necessary to know the public IP address of an indoor environment 1 .
  • the mapping relations between the static public IP address and the private IP addresses do not exist, then the control packet can not arrive at the indoor environment 1 .
  • an ISP 2 should provide the indoor environment 1 with a public IP address.
  • the ISP 2 dynamically specifies the public IP address, then a target IP address will correspondingly change when a mobile device 3 attempt to connect to the indoor environment 1 .
  • a STUN client uses U DP packets to establish a connection interface in order to maintain the available state of the NAT table.
  • the mobile device requests the public I P address and port number of the indoor device through a STUN server from outdoor so as to access the indoor device.
  • the above processing way will bring the following problems. Firstly, with the increase of the number of the registered users/indoor devices, a periodical transmission for establishing the connection port would correspondingly increase. This is a heavy burden to the STUN server.
  • the connection interface or the NAT interface number map is open during the whole processing. This is harmful to the security of the STUN client.
