Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a parameter setting system and method for setting parameters in a device, an access point, and a computer-readable recording medium, and in particular, parameter setting for setting parameters in a device such as an access point using a computer. The present invention relates to a system and method, an access point, and a computer-readable recording medium.

[Prior art]
In recent years, with the advancement of Internet technology, so-called IP (Internet Protocol) telephones are becoming popular. FIG. 1 shows an outline of an IP telephone system that has been attracting attention because it uses the Internet instead of the public telephone network, so that telephone charges are low and a conventional telephone can be used.
[0003]
Referring to FIG. 1, the IP telephone system includes an IP telephone server 901, access points 902 and 903, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) gateways 904 and 905, and telephones 906 and 907. The access points 902 and 903 also have a function of connecting a local area network to the Internet. Accordingly, the access points 902 and 903 are also connected to computers 908 and 909 that access the Internet.
[0004]
Next, a method for establishing an IP telephone connection will be described with reference to FIG. Each of the telephones 906 and 907 is assigned a telephone number. The telephone number corresponds to, for example, a numeric string starting with “050”, a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) format character, a symbol, or a numeric string. Hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity, a telephone number is simply referred to as a “telephone number”. If no fixed IP address is assigned to the access points 902 and 903, a dynamic IP address is assigned each time the power is turned on. Therefore, in general, the correspondence between the telephone number of the telephone 906 and the IP address of the access point 902 varies. Accordingly, the access point 902 notifies the IP telephone server 901 of the new or changed IP address and the telephone number of the telephone 906 when a new IP address is assigned to the access point 902 or when the assigned IP address changes. To do. Upon receiving this notification, the IP telephone server 901 stores the notified IP address and telephone number as a set in the storage device 901-1. The same applies to the access point 903 and the telephone 907.
[0005]
When the telephone 906 makes a call to the telephone 907, first, the VoIP gateway 904 sends a message to the IP server 901 to make a call to the telephone 907 (step S951). This message includes the telephone number of the telephone 906, the telephone number of the telephone 907, and the IP address of the VoIP gateway 904. Upon receiving this message, the IP telephone server 901 searches the storage device 901-1 for the IP address of the access point 903 corresponding to the telephone 907, and uses the searched IP address to call the telephone 907 from the telephone 906. A message notifying that it has been sent is transmitted to the VoIP gateway 905 (step S952). If the telephone set 907 is ready to receive a call, the VoIP gateway 905 transmits an acknowledgment message to the IP server 901 (step S953). If the IP telephone server 901 receives an acknowledgment message, the IP telephone server 901 transmits a message notifying the IP address of the access point 903 to the VoIP gateway 904 (step S954). Thereafter, the access point 902 accesses the access point 903 using the IP address of the access point 903 notified from the IP telephone server 901, and thereby the connection between the telephone 906 and the telephone 907 is established.

[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in order to make a call from the IP phone 906, the VoIP gateway 904 must know the IP address and port number of the IP phone server 901 in advance. Similarly, in order to make a call from the IP phone 907, the VoIP gateway 905 needs to know the IP address and port number of the IP phone server 901 in advance.
[0010]
When a manufacturer that sells an access point with a built-in VoIP gateway owns an IP phone server and provides IP phone service, the manufacturer sells an access point that stores the IP address and port number of the IP phone server. do it. In addition, when a provider who provides an access point including a VoIP gateway to a user in the form of selling or renting owns an IP telephone server and provides an IP telephone service, the provider provides the IP address of the IP telephone server and What is necessary is just to sell or lease the access point which memorize | stored the port number.

In this case, since the access point provided by provider B stores an IP address and port number of an IP telephone server different from the access point provided by provider A, user X can access the access point provided by provider B. Purchase or rent must be renewed.
[0013]
On the other hand, if the IP address and port number of the IP telephone server stored in the access point can be rewritten using a computer, the user X does not have to purchase or rent the access point provided by the provider B. However, Provider B will have to publish the IP address and port number of its IP phone server.
[0014]
Here, since the IP telephone server stores various information of subscribers, the IP telephone server is at risk of unauthorized access by a malicious person, and therefore, the IP address and port number of the IP telephone server are disclosed. Is not desirable in terms of confidentiality.

The external storage device 105-6 stores the IP address, port number, domain name, and the like of the IP telephone server, and is read by the application program 105-5 when the WWW page 209 is generated.
[0048]
Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
[0049]
First, when the WWW browser 101-4 displays the screen 231 shown in FIG. 6 on the display unit 101-5 (step S301), the user enters a user ID and password in predetermined fields 401 and 403 on the screen. Input (step S303). This user ID and password are used when the user receives an Internet service. Next, when the user presses the “open” button 405 (step S305), the WWW browser 101-4 receives form information including a user ID and a password and designation of an application program 105-5 that performs processing by inputting the user ID and password. Then, the data is transmitted to the WWW server 105-4 via the LAN 107, the access point 103, and the Internet 109 (step S307).
[0050]
Next, the WWW server 105-4 analyzes the form information (step S309), starts the application program 105-5, and supplies the user ID and password to the application program 105-5 (step S311).
[0051]
Next, the application program 105-5 refers to the member information stored in the external storage device 105-6 based on the input user ID and password, and the user ID for the user to receive the IP telephone service, A password and a telephone number are generated, and the IP address, port number, and domain name of the IP telephone server stored in the external storage device 105-6 are read to generate a WWW page 209 whose contents are shown in FIG. S313). The user ID and password for the user to receive the IP phone service may be the same as the user ID and password for the user to receive an Internet service other than the IP phone service, but are generally different.
[0052]
The WWW page 209 shown in FIG. 8 describes the user ID, password, and telephone number assigned to the user, and the IP address, port number, and domain name of the IP telephone server. Only the phone number assigned to the user is enclosed in a tag that allows the phone number to be displayed, and the user ID and password assigned to the user and the IP address, port number and domain name of the IP phone server are inside the form. TYPE attribute is described as “hidden”, as shown in FIG. 7, when the WWW browser 101-4 displays this page, the telephone number assigned to the user is displayed, but assigned to the user. The user ID and password and the IP address, port number, and domain name of the IP telephone server are not displayed. Therefore, the IP address, port number, and domain name of the IP telephone server are not known to the user.
[0053]
In addition, by displaying the WWW page 209 in the editor, the user can know the value of the item described with the TYPE attribute “hidden” inside the form, but the WWW server 105-4 is assigned to the user. The user ID and password and the IP address, port number and domain name of the IP telephone server are encrypted by, for example, Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) and embedded in the form, so that the user can know these values substantially. It becomes impossible.
[0054]
Also, in the form of the WWW page 209 shown in FIG. 8, the user ID, password, and telephone number assigned to the user and the IP address, port number, and domain name of the IP telephone server are entered, and these are entered by the VoIP gateway. Name of a program for setting in the parameter storage unit 103-5 as a connection parameter to be used:
Example: “http: //web.setup/voip_remote.pl
And a reserved word “ACTION” for starting the program is described.
[0055]
Next, the WWW server 105-4 adds an HTTP header to the WWW page 209 shown in FIG. 8 and writes it in the memory 105-2 (recording medium) or the register (recording medium) of the CPU 105-1 (step S315).
[0056]
Next, the OSI first to fourth layer processing unit 105-3 packetizes the WWW page 209 with the HTTP header 207 into the TCP packet 205 in the memory 105-2 (recording medium) or the register (recording medium) of the CPU 105-1. The TCP packet is packetized into the IP packet 203 (step S317), and the IP packet 203 is placed on the Ethernet (registered trademark) frame 201 or the like, via the Internet 109, the access point 103, and the LAN 107, and the WWW browser 101-4. (Step S319).
[0057]
Next, the WWW browser 101-4 displays the received WWW page 209 on the display unit 101-5 (step S321). Next, when the user presses the setting button 411 (step S323), the WWW browser 101-4 transmits the above-described information described in the form in the WWW page to the access point 103 (step S325).
[0058]
Next, the received form information is analyzed by the form analysis unit 103-7 (step S327), the parameter setting program 103-6 whose name is described in the form is activated, and the user ID and the parameter setting program 103-6 are entered. The password, the IP address of the IP telephone server, the port number, and the domain name are supplied (step S329).
[0059]
Next, the parameter setting program 103-6 connects the user ID and password and the IP address, port number, and domain name of the IP telephone server to the parameter storage unit 103-5, and the VoIP gateway 103-4 connects to the IP telephone server. It is set as a connection parameter used for (step S331).
[0060]
If the user ID and password and the IP address, port number, and domain name of the IP telephone server are encrypted, the parameter setting program 103-6 decrypts them and stores them in the parameter storage unit 103-5. Set.
[0061]
[Embodiment 2]
In the first embodiment, a parameter setting program 103-6 and a parameter storage unit 103-5 are prepared in the access point 103, and the parameter setting program 103-6 sets parameters in the parameter storage unit 103-5. Similarly, another device (for example, a network home appliance, a game device, etc.) is connected to the LAN 107, a parameter setting program and a parameter storage unit are prepared for the device, and the name of the parameter setting program described in the WWW page 209 Is set as the name of the parameter setting program, the form analysis unit 103-7 activates the parameter setting program, thereby enabling the parameter to be set in another device connected to the LAN 107.
[0062]
[Embodiment 3]
The first and second embodiments are based on the assumption that a local IP address different from the global IP address used in the Internet 109 is used in the LAN 107. Therefore, the destination IP address of the IP packet containing the WWW page 209 transmitted from the WWW server 105-4 to the WWW browser 101-4 is the IP address of the access point 103. Then, the router unit 103-1 of the access point 103 converts the IP address and the port number using the IP masquerade function, and transfers the WWW page 209 to the WWW browser 101-4.
[0063]
However, in the future, it is expected that IPv6 will become widespread and a global IP address will be assigned to the computer 101. In this case, the destination IP address of the IP packet containing the WWW page 209 transmitted from the WWW server 105-4 to the WWW browser 101-4 is the IP address of the computer 101, and hence the IP address of the WWW browser 101-4. is there. Then, the router unit 103-1 of the access point 103 transfers the WWW page 209 to the WWW browser 101-4 without using the IP masquerade function.
[0064]
[Embodiment 4]
The LAN 107 in the first, second, and third embodiments may be a WAN (Wide Area Network) connected by a dedicated line or the like.
[0065]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the parameters are set in the device by the operation of the WWW server and the WWW browser when the user operates the WWW browser. Therefore, the manufacturer or provider of the device can use the WWW for parameter setting. By appropriately preparing the page, it is possible for the user to set a parameter for the device for a desired purpose or to change the parameter set for the device when desired.
[0066]
Further, according to the present invention, parameters are set in the device by the user's operation, so that it is not necessary for the device provider (manufacturer, seller, lender, etc.) to set the parameters in the device in advance. It is possible to reduce the burden on the provider.
[0067]
Furthermore, according to the present invention, the parameter to be set in the device is sent from the WWW server and set in the device via the WWW browser, so that setting errors by the user can be prevented.
[0068]
Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the parameter to be set in the device is not displayed on the screen, it is possible to set the confidential parameter in the device without knowing it to the user.
[0069]
Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the parameter to be set in the device is encrypted, it is possible to set the confidential parameter in the device without knowing it to the user.
