ABSTRACT:
A scheme for managing nodes connected to a home network according to their physical location is disclosed. A communication device constituting each node is formed by at least one communication unit for carrying out communications through a connected network, having communication ports for connecting nodes through which data are to be exchanged by the nodes, and a configuration information memory unit for storing a configuration information regarding a configuration of the communication device, having a region for dynamically describing a location information regarding a physical location of the communication device. At a managing node, a configuration information of a connected network and a location information regarding a physical location of a prescribed node connected to the network are collected, and physical locations of other nodes/services that are connected to the prescribed node are managed by regarding the other nodes/services as existing at an identical physical location as the physical location of the prescribed node as specified by the location information.
