Abstract

See full text

In order to ensure the security by access control, or the like, using a limited input/output interface of a household electric appliance without complicated setting manipulations, a refrigerator includes a filter section which permits only establishing a communication with a relay server having a specific IP address. The relay server includes a relay control section for relaying a communication between the refrigerator and a cellular mobile phone or a personal computer, a connectable device database in which a partner device whose communication is permitted by the relay control section to be relayed is registered in conjunction with the refrigerator, and a data conversion section for performing data conversion at the time of the relay according to a difference in the input/output interface between the refrigerator and the personal computer, or the like. The refrigerator and the personal computer, or the like, can establish a communication through the relay server.
