Home appliance manufacturers have recently been trying to provide smart products capable of various Internet services. For example, one health care manufacturer provides a Wi‐Fi‐capable scale. Once users register their information with the manufacturer's server, weight and body fat records are automatically uploaded server whenever they measure weight. The can then watch check log easily using device, such as smartphone or tablet. One biggest problems, however, is that initial configuration appliances user registration process may be quite complicated typical who unfamiliar IT devices. This paper proposes an autoconfiguration system structure protocol for Internet‐capable home appliances, which supports remote maintenance service device only little effort. Manufacturers develop own differentiated services proposed protocol.
