Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing a functional structure of the connection system 10 of fig. 1. The functional structure of the connection system 10 is explained with reference to fig. 6.
As shown in fig. 6, the communication terminal 11 includes an operation receiving unit 60, a communication unit 62, a control unit 64, and a storage unit 66.

The storage unit 66 is a storage device that stores information necessary for the information processing, the computer program, and the like. The storage section 66 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory or the like.
As described above, the access point 12a has a switch 22. The access point 12a further includes a communication unit 68, a control unit 70, and a storage unit 72.
The communication unit 68 of the access point 12a is a communication circuit for the access point 12a to perform wireless communication with the communication terminal 11. The communication unit 68 of the access point 12a transmits radio waves to the communication terminal 11. The communication unit 68 of the access point 12a receives radio waves from the communication terminal 11.
The control unit 70 of the access point 12a performs information processing for controlling the access point 12a. Specifically, for example, the control unit 70 of the access point 12a transmits the first connection information used for the wireless connection between the communication terminal 11 and the access point 12a to the access point 12b and the access point 12c. For example, the control unit 70 of the access point 12a calculates the reception intensity of the radio wave received by the communication unit 68 of the access point 12a from the communication terminal 11. For example, the control unit 70 of the access point 12a transmits information indicating the calculated reception intensity to the access point 12b and the access point 12c via the communication line 13. For example, the control unit 70 of the access point 12a is realized by a microcomputer, a processor, or the like.

For example, the storage unit 72 of the access point 12a is implemented by a semiconductor memory or the like.
Since the access points 12b and 12c have the same configuration as the access point 12a, the detailed description of the access points 12b and 12c will be omitted by referring to the description of the access point 12a.
Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the connection system 10 in fig. 1. An example of the operation of the connection system 10 will be described with reference to fig. 7.
As shown in fig. 7, when the access point 12a receives a predetermined operation by the user (step S1), it shifts to the setting mode (step S2). For example, when the user operates the switch 22 of the access point 12a, the access point 12a shifts to a setting mode for setting for wireless connection with the communication terminal 11.
When the communication terminal 11 accepts a predetermined operation by the user (step S3), it transmits a setting command of first connection information for wirelessly connecting the communication terminal 11 and the access point 12a to the access point 12a (step S4).
Upon receiving the setting instruction from the communication terminal 11, the access point 12a sets the first connection information (step S5). For example, the access point 12 sets the SSID and the password of the access point 12a used by the communication terminal 11 to wirelessly connect to the access point 12a as the first connection information.
When the first connection information is set, the access point 12a transmits a setting instruction to the access point 12b together with the set first connection information (step S6).
Upon receiving the setting instruction from the access point 12a, the access point 12b performs setting using the first connection information so that the communication terminal 11 and the access point 12b can make wireless connection (step S7). For example, the access point 12b sets the SSID identical to the SSID of the access point 12a as the SSID of the access point 12b, and sets the password identical to the access point 12a as the password of the access point 12 b. Thus, the communication terminal 11 can wirelessly connect to the access point 12b using the first connection information without performing a process for wirelessly connecting to the access point 12 b.
For example, the access point 12b can wirelessly connect to the communication terminal 11 using the second connection information unique to the access point 12 b. That is, the communication terminal 11 can make a wireless connection with the access point 12b regardless of which of the first connection information and the second connection information is used.
When the first connection information is set, the access point 12b transmits a setting instruction to the access point 12c together with the set first connection information (step S8). For example, the access point 12a may transmit the setting instruction to the access point 12c together with the set first connection information.
Upon receiving the setting instruction from the access point 12b, the access point 12c performs setting using the first connection information so that the communication terminal 11 and the access point 12c can make a wireless connection (step S9). For example, the access point 12c sets the SSID identical to the SSID of the access point 12b as the SSID of the access point 12c, and sets the password identical to the access point 12b as the password of the access point 12c. Thus, the communication terminal 11 can wirelessly connect to the access point 12c using the first connection information without performing a process for wirelessly connecting to the access point 12c.
For example, the access point 12c can wirelessly connect to the communication terminal 11 using the third connection information unique to the access point 12c. That is, the communication terminal 11 can make a wireless connection with the access point 12c regardless of which of the first connection information and the third connection information is used.
When the first connection information is set, the access point 12a receives the radio wave transmitted from the communication terminal 11 and calculates the reception intensity of the received radio wave (step S10).
When the first connection information is set, the access point 12b receives the radio wave transmitted from the communication terminal 11, and calculates the reception intensity of the received radio wave (step S11).
When the first connection information is set, the access point 12c receives the radio wave transmitted from the communication terminal 11 and calculates the reception intensity of the received radio wave (step S12).
The plurality of access points 12a to 12c transmit the calculated reception intensity to the other access point among the plurality of access points 12a to 12c (step S13 and step S14).
Upon receiving an input of first connection information for performing wireless connection with the access point 12a from the user (step S15), the communication terminal 11 performs wireless connection with any one of the plurality of access points 12a to 12c (step S16). For example, among the plurality of access points 12a to 12c, the access point having the highest reception intensity of the radio wave received from the communication terminal 11 preferentially performs wireless connection with the communication terminal 11. For example, when the access point 12a is selected from the plurality of access points 12a to 12c, the access point 12a preferentially wirelessly connects to the communication terminal 11, and the communication terminal 11 wirelessly connects to the access point 12a. When the communication terminal 11 moves and the access point 12b becomes the access point 12b among the plurality of access points 12a to 12c, which has the highest reception intensity of the radio wave received from the communication terminal 11, the access point 12b preferentially performs wireless connection with the communication terminal 11, and the communication terminal 11 wirelessly connects with the access point 12 b. As described above, the plurality of access points 12a to 12c share the reception intensity of the radio wave received from the communication terminal 11, and the access point having the highest reception intensity of the radio wave received from the communication terminal 11 wirelessly connects to the communication terminal 11.
The connection system 10 according to the first embodiment has been described above.
The connection system 10 according to the first embodiment includes a plurality of access points 12a to 12c, one access point 12a of the plurality of access points 12a to 12c transmits first connection information used for wireless connection between the communication terminal 11 and the one access point 12a to another access point 12b of the plurality of access points 12a to 12c, and the other access point 12b performs setting using the first connection information so that wireless connection between the communication terminal 11 and the other access point 12b is possible.
Accordingly, since one access point 12a transmits the first connection information to the other access point 12b and the other access point 12b performs setting using the first connection information so that the communication terminal 11 can be wirelessly connected to the other access point 12b, the user can wirelessly connect the communication terminal 11 to the other access point 12b without performing setting for wirelessly connecting the communication terminal 11 to the other access point 12 b. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the time and effort required to wirelessly connect the communication terminal 11 to each of the plurality of access points 12a to 12c.
In the connection system 10 according to the first embodiment, another access point 12b can perform wireless connection with the communication terminal 11 using the second connection information unique to the other access point 12 b.
Accordingly, the communication terminal 11 can be wirelessly connected to the other access point 12b regardless of which of the first connection information and the second connection information is used, and therefore the communication terminal 11 can be easily wirelessly connected to the other access point 12 b.
In the connection system 10 according to the first embodiment, the plurality of access points 12a to 12c are wired to each other.
Accordingly, since the first connection information can be easily transmitted and received between the plurality of access points 12a to 12c, the communication terminal 11 can be easily wirelessly connected to the plurality of access points 12a to 12c.
In the connection system 10 according to the first embodiment, each of the plurality of access points 12a to 12c calculates the reception intensity of the radio wave received from the communication terminal 11, and the access point having the highest reception intensity among the plurality of access points wirelessly connects to the communication terminal 11.
Accordingly, the access point having the highest reception intensity among the plurality of access points can be wirelessly connected to the communication terminal 11, and therefore the communication terminal 11 can be efficiently wirelessly connected.
In the connection system 10 according to the first embodiment, at least a part of each of the plurality of access points 12a to 12c is embedded in the wall 1 of the building.
Accordingly, the user can wirelessly connect the communication terminal 11 to the other access points 12b and 12c without setting the communication terminal 11 to wirelessly connect to the other access points 12b and 12c, and therefore, even when the plurality of access points 12a to 12c are embedded in the wall 1 of the building and cannot be moved, the communication terminal 11 can be easily wirelessly connected to any one of the plurality of access points 12a to 12c.
