ABSTRACT:
An electronic-equipment system is formed by a home switch connected to a telephone, a VCR, an audio apparatus, a-personal computer, a set-top box (decoder) and a television receiver by home data lines. The home switch transmits data received from the pieces of electronic equipment to destinations through a public data line. Before being transmitted to a destination, the data is first converted into data in a predetermined internal protocol and then converted into data in a protocol for the public data line. The home switch also receives incoming data transmitted through the public data line. The received data undergoes reversed protocol conversion before being transmitted to the electronic equipment. In addition, data output by a piece of electronic equipment can be transmitted to another piece of electronic equipment at the same home through the home switch.
