Embodiment

The utility model is a kind of WiFi router that possesses the ZigBee communication function, and the WiFi router of the described ZigBee of possessing communication function comprises following part:

The WiFi router of the described ZigBee of possessing communication function is formed, is provided with the exchanges data hypervisor in the described WiFi module by WiFi module and ZigBee module; WiFi module and WiFi network communicate, and ZigBee module and ZigBee-network communicate; Baseband processor in its WiFi module links to each other by serial or parallel interface physically with the ZigBee module, by the communication means between the realization WiFi network of the exchanges data hypervisor in the WiFi module and the ZigBee-network.

Referring to accompanying drawing 1, accompanying drawing 2.Comprise in the accompanying drawing 1:

ZigBee-network 200, comprising: ZigBee equipment 201, ZigBee equipment 202, ZigBee module 20;

WiFi network 100, comprising: WiFi equipment 101, WiFi equipment 102, WiFi module 10;

Wherein the WiFi router one comprises WiFi module 10 and ZigBee module 20;

Comprise in the accompanying drawing 2:

ZigBee module 20, serial or parallel interface 21, WiFi module 10, baseband processor 11, the exchanges data hypervisor 30 in the WiFi module.

Below describe in detail:

In the hybrid network that is formed by WiFi network 100 and ZigBee-network 200, there is plurality of devices to cooperatively interact, collaborative work.In these equipment, some uses 100 communications of WiFi network, computer for example, mobile phone, the equipment such as panel computer; Some other equipment then uses ZigBee-network 200 communication, Temperature Humidity Sensor for example, human body heat-releasing transducer, electrically driven curtain etc.In actual applications, need devices interconnect and interoperability in two kinds of heterogeneous networks of realization, need to use the WiFi router one that possesses the ZigBee communication function.

Possesses the integrated WiFi module 10 of a standard in the WiFi router one inside of ZigBee communication function, and ZigBee module 20, and ZigBee module 20 is connected with the baseband processor 11 of WiFi module 10 inside with crossing serial or parallel interfaces 21, guarantee between WiFi module 10 and the ZigBee module 20 exchanges data hardware view unobstructed reliably.

The baseband processor 11 of WiFi module 10 inside, except the WiFi router control program of operation standard, also move a data exchange of management program 30, be responsible for realizing the mutual transmission of data between ZigBee-network 100 and WiFi network 200 these two kinds of heterogeneous networks, and data are filtered with flow, flowed to control.Exchanges data hypervisor 30 both can with WiFi network 100 in devices communicating, again can with ZigBee-network 200 in devices communicating: exchanges data hypervisor 30 can be connected with the equipment SOCKET that sets up ICP/IP protocol in the WiFi network 100, carries out data communication thereby connect with WiFi equipment by the SOCKET that sets up; Exchanges data hypervisor 30 also can receive from the data the ZigBee-network 200 from ZigBee module 20 by serial or parallel interface 21.

The utility model relates to the WiFi router one.The integrated WiFi module 10 of a standard in this router one, and a ZigBee module 20, and ZigBee communication module logical 20 is crossed serial or parallel interfaces 21 and is linked to each other with the baseband processor 11 of WiFi module 10 inside.

In a hybrid network that is formed by the network of these two kinds different logical technology of WiFi and ZigBee, WiFi router one of the present utility model possesses WiFi module 10 and the ZigBee module 20 of standard simultaneously, can either use the devices communicating in the WiFi communication technology and the WiFi network 100, can use again the devices communicating in the ZigBee communication technology and the ZigBee-network 200, that is to say that these two kinds of different networks are coupled together by the WiFi router one.

In order to realize the interconnected of WiFi network 100 and ZigBee-network 200 these two kinds of different networks, do not affect simultaneously these two kinds of networks working alone separately, the baseband processor 11 of WiFi module 10 inside, except the WiFi router control program of operation standard, also move a data exchange of management program 30, be responsible for realizing the mutual transmission of data between ZigBee-network 100 and WiFi network 200 these two kinds of heterogeneous networks, and data are filtered with flow, flowed to control.

When the exchanges data hypervisor 30 in the WiFi module 10 receives data by WiFi module 10 from WiFi network 100, need to judge the flow direction and the legitimacy thereof of data.If the destination address that data send is to point to ZigBee module 20, then the exchanges data hypervisor 30 in the WiFi module is crossed serial or parallel interface 21 with these legal data communication devices that receive and is sent to ZigBee module 20; After ZigBee module 20 receives data, again data are sent to the ZigBee equipment in the ZigBee-network 200.So just realized that data in the WiFi network 100 are to the transmission of ZigBee-network 200.

Otherwise, if the equipment in the WiFi network 100 need to receive from the data in the ZigBee-network 200, then to be connected with exchanges data hypervisor 30 SOCKET that sets up ICP/IP protocol in the WiFi module 10 first; When exchanges data hypervisor 30 receives data by ZigBee module 20 from ZigBee-network 200, just the data that receive send in the WiFi network 100 all with the WiFi module in exchanges data hypervisor 30 set up the equipment that SOCKET is connected.So just realized that data in the ZigBee-network 200 are to the transmission of WiFi network 100.

Generally speaking, the utility model is by being mapped as the ZigBee module port, thereby guaranteed the separate interrelated again of two kinds of networks, stopped the various shortcomings in the existing method.In fact, the equipment in the WiFi network is set up SOCKET with port #n and is connected, be actually to ZigBee-network and register, that is, connect this action by setting up SOCKET, show to the exchanges data hypervisor, this WiFi equipment need to the ZigBee-network swap data.Like this, the equipment that only has " registration " to cross, could with the ZigBee-network swap data; Other do not have the WiFi equipment of " registration ", can normally carry out WiFi communication, can not affect ZigBee-network.

The utility model has kept two kinds of heterogeneous networks characteristics separately and relative independence to the full extent, can be because having increased this equipment of WiFi-ZigBee so that the characteristic of any one network be not weakened or hiding, this is vital for the hybrid network in the practical application; Simultaneously, provide again a kind of interface of deal with data exchange, this interface be it seems from two kinds of networks respectively, all is the interface of standard, does not need to do any change and just can realize communication.
