Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a power outlet device having a Wi-Fi function,

The present invention relates to a power outlet apparatus, and more particularly, to a power outlet apparatus, in which a wired / wireless router having a separate Wi-Fi function for a Wi-Fi consumer is installed in a general household or a small branch office (a restaurant, a cafe, To provide a WiFi function to the WiFi function for enhancing the simplicity of installation and the convenience of the user.

Generally, wireless Internet services include wireless LAN, portable internet (Wibro), and EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized CDMA2000). Among them, the wireless LAN is called a wireless fidelity (WiFi) or a wireless local area network (WLAN). It conforms to the standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.11x 1999, (Access Point), and a mobile terminal or a notebook computer wirelessly connects to the AP to connect to the Internet. Here, the IEEE 802 standard refers to a set of LAN access method and protocol standards developed by the IEEE 802 committee that is promoting the standardization of a computer network. The reference model of the IEEE 802 standard protocol is based on the layering concept of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model, and standardizes up to the lower two layers of the seven layers of the OSI model.

The wireless LAN service uses the Industrial Scientific and Medical Equipment (ISM) band (unlicensed band) of 2.400 to 2.483 GHz, which is compliant with the IEEE 802.11b / g international standard, And has a narrow coverage.

Therefore, although the 2.4GHz band wireless LAN service is used locally in indoor and narrow coverage hotspots, such a wireless LAN system can be easily interworked with the Internet network and is produced and supplied as an international standard system specification, Price, high-speed data transmission, and so on. At present, the IEEE 802.11g standard and IEEE 802.11n have been proposed for higher-speed data transmission.

There is also a method based on the IEEE 802.11a standard using a 5 GHz band and a 54 Mbps transmission speed. That is, although the 2.4 GHz band wireless LAN scheme can transmit high-speed data using the ISM band, for example, due to narrow coverage and frequency interference of a few tens of meters in radius, the service area is restricted to indoor and hotspots, The Wibro service scheme of the WCDMA system uses a permissible bandwidth, so that high-speed data transmission can be performed while maintaining a wider coverage without any frequency interference or output limitation.

Such wireless LANs are served in large bookstores, fast food shops, coffee shops, airports, universities, and the like.

Recently, WiFi installation as a wireless LAN has been increasing due to an increase in smartphone users, and accordingly, a large number of WiFi APs are required to be installed. Therefore, it is required to efficiently install and maintain WiFi and reduce installation costs. In other words, the existing WiFi has to install a plurality of WiFi in order to secure the coverage of the desired area. As the number of smartphone subscribers increases, more and more WiFi is installed, which makes maintenance, maintenance, management and installation difficult.

Furthermore, due to the rapid increase of smartphone users, it is necessary to install a wired / wireless router having a separate Wi-Fi function even though a router is not necessary for a Wi-Fi consumer in a general household or a small branch office (restaurants, cafes, pubs, etc.) Since the WiFi connection rate varies considerably depending on the space in which the router is installed and the location of the WiFi user, a considerable care and effort is required for the installation.

An object of the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned problems is to provide a power outlet device, and in particular, to a smart phone user, a surplus Wi-Fi for a Wi-Fi consumer in a general household or a small business (a restaurant, a cafe, The present invention is to provide a power outlet device having a WiFi function for enhancing simplicity of installation and user convenience by allowing a power outlet to have a WiFi function by avoiding installation of a wire / wireless router having a function.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a power outlet having a WiFi function, the power outlet having at least one connection socket, 1. An outlet apparatus for supplying power, comprising: a power module for receiving an external power source and transforming the power source to a power source of 5 V DC and outputting the same; A WiFi module for transmitting and receiving data to and from an external terminal through WiFi wireless communication; And an IP switch module having the Wi-Fi module and receiving power from the power module and providing an Internet service to an external terminal connected to the Wi-Fi module.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a power outlet apparatus having a Wi-Fi function, the apparatus comprising: at least one connection socket; 1. An outlet apparatus for supplying external power, comprising: a power module for receiving an external power source and transforming the power source to a power source of 5 V DC and outputting the same; An interface unit connected to an external wired Internet network; A WiFi module for transmitting and receiving data to and from an external terminal through WiFi wireless communication; And an IP switch module having the Wi-Fi module and connected to the external terminal connected to the Wi-Fi module by receiving power from the power module to provide an Internet service.

The expected effect of the present invention is that, due to a rapid increase in the number of smartphone users, a wired / wireless router having a separate Wi-Fi function for a Wi-Fi consumer in a general household or a small branch office (restaurants, cafes, So that the power outlet can be provided with a Wi-Fi function, so that the simplicity of installation and the convenience of the user can be increased.
