ABSTRACT:
The present invention is intended to simplify the user's initial setup operation when connecting a new network device to a network in his/her house/room, and further to prevent connection of a network device that is unknown to that user. A network connection management device, when receiving a network connection request from a new network device, sends the request to other network devices connected already to the network. The request then is displayed on each respective displaying means in order to prompt the user to confirm the request. The confirmation data inputted by the user through the inputting means of any of these network devices is sent to the network connection management device, which then determines whether to permit the connection to said network. When the decision result is “YES” (permit), the new network device is connected to the network.
