ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a control device that controls home electrical appliances via a communication line by using function codes which are set without being specialized for specific home electrical appliances. In particular, the present invention provides a home electrical appliance control device that controls a home electrical appliance connected via a communication line, where the device includes: a memory section for storing a function table for mapping function identifiers, which identify function types allocated with the focus on the function itself to functions with which the home electrical appliance is equipped, with attributes of the functions, and a control section for controlling the home electrical appliance via the communication line based on the function table.
