Or removed from the client. In other words, the device configuration on the client side to be controlled by the server 2 or the server 4 is changed at a predetermined timing.

  The system configuration in FIG. 1 can be changed as appropriate. For example, in addition to the cellular phone 5 and the personal computer 6, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) as a client, a memory as a device, and the like may be prepared.

  In the communication system having such a configuration, for example, when the mobile phone 5 as a client starts communication with the server 2, an external device connected to itself or a built-in device is connected. Among them, information related to a device disclosed to the server 2 (permitting remote control by the server 2) is transmitted to the server 2.

  For example, from the cellular phone 5 to the server 2, information indicating a device name (hereinafter referred to as “Device Name”) and a device type (hereinafter referred to as “Device Type”) set in advance for the device to be disclosed. In addition, the identification number of each device determined by the mobile phone 5 at the start of communication with the server 2 (hereinafter referred to as Device ID as appropriate) is transmitted.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of device information including Device Name, Device Type, and Device ID notified from the mobile phone 5 to the server 2.

  In FIG. 2, the reader / writer 11, the IC card 13, the speaker 14, and the display 15 are selected as devices to be disclosed to the server 2, and their device information is transmitted to the server 2.

  The device information transmitted to the server 2 as information related to the reader / writer 11 includes a device ID “001” assigned to the reader / writer 11 at the start of communication with the server 2, and a device name “ Felica (registered trademark) ”and Device Type“ R / W ”.

Even when the device configuration is changed, each device can be reliably controlled according to the new configuration after the change.

  Also, in the command sent from the server to the client, the device to be controlled is specified by the Device ID assigned by the client, so it is more controlled than when specified by Device Name or Device Type. A data amount of information for designating a target device can be expressed with a small data amount and a constant data amount. That is, command redundancy can be suppressed.

  The information transmission / reception performed between the server and the client will be described in detail later with reference to a flowchart.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the server 2 of FIG.

  A CPU (Central Processing Unit) 31 executes various processes according to a program stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) 32 or a program loaded from a storage unit 38 to a RAM (Random Access Memory) 33. The RAM 33 also stores data necessary for the CPU 31 to execute various processes as appropriate.

  The CPU 31, ROM 32, and RAM 33 are connected to each other via a bus 34. An input / output interface 35 is also connected to the bus 34.

  The input / output interface 35 includes an input unit 36 including a keyboard and a mouse, a display including an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an output unit 37 including a speaker, a storage unit 38 including a hard disk, and the network 1.

  The configuration of the server 4 and the configurations of the mobile phone 5 and the personal computer 6 as clients are basically the same as the configuration of the server 2 in FIG. Note that FIG. 2 is also referred to as the configuration of the mobile phone 5 or the personal computer 6 as necessary.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the servers (servers 2 and 4) realized by executing a predetermined program by the CPU 31 of FIG.

  The receiving unit 51 receives device information transmitted from the client via the network 1 and outputs it to the command generating unit 52.

  The command generation unit 52 acquires device information supplied from the reception unit 51 and generates a command for controlling a device connected to the client based on a control signal input from the outside. As described above, the command generation unit 52 generates a command that designates a device to be controlled by a Device ID assigned to the device by a client.

  For example, when the control signal instructs to generate a command for controlling the reader / writer 11 connected to the mobile phone 5, the command generation unit 52 sets the reader / writer 11 together with information indicating the control content. A command including “001” (FIG. 2) representing the information to be controlled is generated. The command generated by the command generation unit 52 is output to the transmission unit 53.

  The transmission unit 53 transmits the command supplied from the command generation unit 52 to the client via the network 1.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of a client realized by a predetermined program being executed by the CPU 31 of the client (the mobile phone 5 or the personal computer 6).

  When starting communication with the server, the device information generation unit 61 selects a device to be disclosed to the server from among connected or built-in devices, and generates device information of the selected device. Specifically, the device information generation unit 61 assigns a Device ID to each device to be disclosed, and the device information generation unit 61 includes the assigned Device ID and a Device Name and Device Type set in advance for each device as shown in FIG. Device information is generated. The device information generated by the device information generation unit 61 is output to the transmission unit 62.

  The transmission unit 62 transmits the device information supplied from the device information generation unit 61 to the server as the communication partner via the network 1.

  When a command for specifying a device to be controlled by Device ID is transmitted from the server, the receiving unit 63 receives the command and outputs it to the control unit 64.

  The control unit 64 analyzes the command transmitted from the server and controls the device specified by the Device ID according to the contents described in the command.

  Next, operations of the client and the server will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  For example, when the user instructs to access the server, the transmission unit 62 of the client accesses the server selected as the communication partner and requests the start of communication in step S1. This request is received by the receiving unit 51 of the server in step S11.

  In step S2, the device information generation unit 61 of the client assigns a Device ID to each device to be disclosed to the server, and proceeds to Step S3, where the assigned Device ID and the device to be disclosed are preset. Generate device information including Device Name and Device Type.

  In step S4, the transmission unit 62 transmits the device information generated by the device information generation unit 61 in step S3 to the server.

  In step S <b> 12, the reception unit 51 of the server receives device information transmitted from the client and outputs it to the command generation unit 52. The device information is held by the command generation unit 52.

  In step S13, the command generation unit 52 generates a command for designating a device to be controlled by Device ID based on the input control signal, and causes the transmission unit 53 to transmit it to the client.

  In step S <b> 5, the client receiving unit 63 receives the command transmitted from the server and outputs it to the control unit 64.

  In step S6, the control unit 64 analyzes the supplied command and controls the device specified by the Device ID according to the contents described in the command. Thereby, for example, when the client is the mobile phone 5, the reader / writer 11 designated as the device to be controlled by the Device ID is controlled, and predetermined information is written to the external IC card 12.

  The above command transmission / reception is repeated a predetermined number of times, and each device connected to or built in the client is controlled by the server. When the communication between the client and the server is finished, the series of processes in FIG. 6 is finished.

  The series of processes described above can be executed by hardware, but can also be executed by software.

  When a series of processing is executed by software, a program constituting the software may execute various functions by installing a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware or various programs. For example, it is installed from a network or a recording medium into a general-purpose personal computer or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 3, this recording medium is not only constituted by a package medium such as a removable medium 41 distributed to provide a program to the user, but also incorporated in the apparatus body in advance. In this state, the program is configured by a ROM 32 in which a program is recorded, a hard disk included in the storage unit 38, and the like.

  In the present specification, the step of describing the program recorded in the recording medium is not limited to the processing performed in time series according to the described order, but is not necessarily performed in time series, either in parallel or individually. The process to be executed is also included.

  Further, in this specification, the system represents the entire apparatus constituted by a plurality of apparatuses.
