  In the case of the conventional Wi-Fi wireless communication connection method, when the wireless LAN function of the terminal device is started, an access point (hereinafter referred to as “AP”) around the terminal device is searched. If a plurality of APs are searched as a result of the search, the terminal device selects a connection target AP. Then, the terminal device performs wireless communication encryption settings. Then, the terminal device completes the setting through procedures such as confirmation of the wireless communication connection.

  In the case of such a conventional method, there has been a disadvantage that the user has to input a personal identification number for wireless communication connection one by one. Therefore, Wi-Fi alliance has defined various types of Wi-Fi Protected Setup (hereinafter referred to as “WPS”) so that wireless communication connection can be made more easily and conveniently. For example, wireless communication between a terminal device and an AP is connected by a PBC (Push Button Configurations) method, a PIN (Personal Identification Number) method, or a method using a USB memory.

  However, in the PBC system, since it is impossible to establish a wireless communication connection unless the buttons on both ends of the AP and the terminal device are pressed, it takes time to search for the button, and it takes up to 120 seconds to wait for connection. There is. The PIN method requires a complicated and troublesome process of manually inputting the 8-digit password generated by the AP. The USB method has a disadvantage that a standard method is not clearly defined and a separate USB memory other than the AP and the terminal device is required.

  Accordingly, there is a demand for a method for enabling users to make a wireless connection more conveniently and intuitively.

It is a flowchart for demonstrating the radio | wireless communication connection method of the connection apparatus which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention.

  Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a wireless communication connection system 10 for wireless communication connection between an access point (hereinafter referred to as “AP”) 100 and a host device 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the wireless communication connection system 10 includes an AP 100, a connection device 200, and a host device 300. At this time, the host device 300 can be realized by a smart TV, a smartphone, a PC, a tablet PC, or the like.

  The AP 100 provides wireless communication to the host device 300 via the connection device 200. At this time, the connection device 200 is a USB dongle-type connection device including MAC address information.

  Specifically, when the connected device 200 is connected to the AP 100, the AP 100 confirms the information of the connected device 200 and registers the MAC address information of the connected device 200.

  After the MAC address information is registered in the AP 100, when the connected device 200 is removed from the AP 100, the AP 100 broadcasts a beacon message at a certain period. At this time, the manufacturer information of the AP 100 is included in the beacon message.

  When the connected device 200 is connected to the external host device 300, the connected device 200 confirms the manufacturer information included in the beacon message and transmits a probe request signal as a response to the beacon message. At this time, the probe request signal includes at least one of manufacturer information, PIN information, and MAC address information of the connected device 200.

  When the AP 100 receives the probe request signal from the connected device 200, the AP 100 determines whether to perform the wireless communication connection of the connected device 200 using the manufacturer information, PIN information, and MAC address information included in the received probe request signal. to decide. Specifically, the AP 100 determines whether or not specific manufacturer information is included in the probe request signal, whether or not PIN information is included, and whether or not the MAC address information is pre-registered MAC address information. Then, it is determined whether or not the connection device 200 is to be wirelessly connected.

  If the connected device 200 includes specific manufacturer information and further includes PIN information, and the MAC address information of the connected device 200 is pre-registered MAC address information, the AP 100 sends a probe response signal including a wireless communication connection success message to the connected device 200. Send to. Then, the AP 100 performs wireless communication connection with the connection device 200 using the received PIN information, and provides the wireless communication connection to the external host device 300.

  However, if the connected device 200 does not include specific manufacturer information, does not include PIN information, or if the MAC address information of the connected device 200 is not pre-registered MAC address information, the AP 100 fails in wireless communication connection. A probe response signal including a message is transmitted to the connected device 200.

  As described above, when the wireless communication connection between the AP 100 and the host device 300 is performed using the connection device 200, the user can perform the wireless communication connection more intuitively. Since PIN information is used, security can be maintained in the process of wireless communication connection, and wireless communication connection is possible only by connecting to a connected device without a separate USB memory. Priorities can be given to wireless communication connections.

  Hereinafter, the AP 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the AP 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the AP 100 includes a connection unit 110, a storage unit 120, a communication unit 130, an output unit 140, and a control unit 150.

  The connection unit 110 is connected to the connection device 200 and receives information on the connection device 200. Specifically, when connection device 200 is attached to connection unit 110, connection unit 110 receives driver information and MAC address information of connection device 200.

  At this time, the connection unit 110 can be realized as a USB interface connection unit.

  The storage unit 120 stores various information and data for the wireless communication operation of the AP 100. In particular, when the connected device 200 is attached to the AP 100, the storage unit 120 stores the MAC address information of the connected device 200 under the control of the control unit 150.

  At this time, the storage unit 120 can be realized as a flash memory or a hard disk.

  The communication unit 130 performs wireless communication with the connection device 200. Specifically, the communication unit 130 transmits a beacon message using a broadcasting method. At this time, the manufacturer information of the AP 100 is included in the beacon message. When a probe request signal is received from the connected device 200 as a response to the beacon message, the communication unit 130 transmits a probe response signal including information on whether to establish a wireless communication connection.

  When the wireless communication connection success message between the AP 100 and the connected device 200 is included in the probe response signal, the communication unit 130 then performs wireless communication connection with the connected device 200 using the PIN information. Specifically, when the communication unit 130 receives an authentication request signal and a connection request signal from the connection device 200, the communication unit 130 transmits an authentication response signal and a connection response signal. When it is confirmed that the AP 100 can establish a wireless communication connection with the connection device 200, the communication unit 130 transmits an EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) Identity signal including wireless communication connection data to the connection device 200. Here, the wireless communication connection data includes SSID, PIN information, and the like for connecting the AP 100 and the connected device 200. When the communication unit 130 receives the EAP Identify response signal from the connected device 200, the communication unit 130 transmits an EAP START signal requesting the start of WPS to the connected device 200.

  When the connected device 200 successfully registers the MAC address information in the AP 100, the output unit 140 outputs a connected device registration completion display. For example, the output unit 140 can blink an LED provided outside or output a specific signal sound.

  Note that the output unit 140 can output a specific signal when wireless communication between the AP 100 and the connected device 200 is normally performed.

  The control unit 150 controls the overall operation of the access point 100. In particular, the control unit 130 confirms the information of the connected device 200 and registers the MAC address information of the connected device 200. Specifically, when the connection device 200 is connected to the connection unit 110, the control unit 150 confirms manufacturer information of the connection device 200. When the manufacturer information of the connected device 200 includes specific manufacturer information, the control unit 150 stores the MAC address information of the connected device 200 in the storage unit 120.

  After the connection device 200 is separated from the connection unit 110 and connected to the external host device 300, when the probe request signal is received from the connection device 200 as a response signal to the beacon message, the control unit 150 detects the probe request signal. Is used to determine whether or not the connected device 200 is a connected device stored in the storage unit 120, and a wireless communication connection with the host device 300 is performed.

  Specifically, the control unit 150 determines whether the manufacturer information of the connected device 200 included in the probe request signal includes specific manufacturer information, whether the probe request signal includes PIN information, and the probe request signal. It is determined whether or not the registered MAC address information matches the registered MAC address information, and it is determined whether or not the connection device 200 is a connection device registered in advance.

  When it is determined that the connected device 200 is a pre-registered connected device, the control unit 150 transmits to the connected device 200 a probe response signal, which is a response signal to the probe request signal, including information that the wireless communication connection is successful. Then, the wireless communication connection is performed using the PIN information included in the probe request signal.

  However, if it is determined that the connected device 200 is not a pre-registered connected device, the control unit 150 controls the communication unit 130 to transmit a wireless communication connection failure signal to the connected device.

  Hereinafter, a wireless communication connection method between the AP 100 and the connection device 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a wireless communication connection method in the wireless communication connection system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  First, the connection device 200 is connected to the AP (S301). Specifically, the connection device 200 is connected to the USB interface connection unit of the AP 100 in the form of a USB dongle.

  When the connected device 200 is connected to the AP 100, the AP 100 confirms the information of the connected device 200 and registers the connected device 200. The registration process of the connected device 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for connecting the connection device according to an embodiment of the present invention in the process of registering with the AP.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the connected device 200 is attached to the AP 100 (S410), the AP 100 confirms the driver information of the connected device 200 (S420).

  Then, the AP 100 determines whether the connected device 200 is a product of a specific manufacturer using the driver information (S430). If the connected device 200 is a product of a specific manufacturer (S430-Y), the AP 100 registers the MAC address information of the connected device 200 connected (S440). Then, the AP 100 outputs a MAC address information registration completion display indicating that the MAC address information has been normally registered (S450). Then, the connection device 200 is removed from the AP 100 (S460).

  When the registration procedure for one connected device 200 is completed, the AP 100 determines whether the other connected device 200 is attached to the AP 100 (S470). When the other connection device 200 is attached to the AP 100, the AP 100 restarts the operation from step S420.

  At this time, when there are a large number of connected devices 200 that are to be connected to the AP 100, the AP 100 can generate a MAC list in which a plurality of MAC address information is stored.

  Returning to FIG. 3, when the connected device 200 is registered in the AP 100, the connected device 200 is removed from the AP 100 (S305). Then, the connected device 200 is connected to the host device 300 (S307). When the connection device 200 is connected to the host device 300, the host device 300 provides firmware so that the connection device 200 can operate (S309).

  Then, the AP 100 broadcasts a beacon message to the outside (S311). At this time, the beacon message includes AP100 manufacturer information (Vendor ID).

  When the connected device 200 receives the beacon message, the connected device 200 confirms the manufacturer information of the beacon message included in the beacon message, and then transmits a probe request signal as a response to the beacon message (S313). At this time, the probe request signal includes manufacturer information, PIN information, and MAC address information of the connected device 200.

  When the AP 100 receives the probe request signal, the AP 100 checks the connected device 200 using the manufacturer information, PIN information, and MAC address information included in the probe request signal (S315). Specifically, the AP 100 determines whether the probe request signal includes specific manufacturer information, whether the PIN information is included, and whether the received MAC address information is pre-registered MAC address information. And whether or not the connected device 200 is a pre-registered connected device is confirmed.

  After confirming whether or not the connected device 200 is a pre-registered connected device, the AP 100 transmits a probe response signal to the connected device 200 (S317). At this time, the probe response signal includes information regarding whether or not the wireless communication connection with the connection device 200 has been successful. Specifically, when it is determined that connected device 200 is a pre-registered connected device, AP 100 transmits a probe response signal including wireless communication connection success information to connected device 200. However, if the connection device 200 is determined as an unregistered connection device, the AP 100 transmits a probe response signal including wireless communication connection failure information to the connection device 200.

  When the connected device 200 receives the probe response signal including the wireless communication connection success message, the connected device 200 establishes a wireless communication connection using the previously transmitted PIN information (S319). The method for performing wireless communication connection using PIN information is the same as that described with reference to FIG.

  When a wireless communication connection is established between the connection device 200 and the AP 100, the connection device 200 provides a wireless communication connection to the host device 300 (S321).

  As described above, according to the wireless communication connection method, the user can make a wireless communication connection more intuitively. Since PIN information is used, security can be maintained in the process of wireless communication connection, and wireless communication connection is possible only by mounting the connection device 200 without using a separate USB memory. Priority can be given to the wireless communication connection.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an AP wireless communication connection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  First, when the connection device 200 is attached to the AP 100, the AP 100 registers information on the connection device 200 as described with reference to FIG. 4 (S510). At this time, the information of the connected device 200 refers to the MAC address information of the connected device 200.

  And AP100 transmits a beacon message (S520). At this time, the beacon message includes the manufacturer information of the AP 100 and is transmitted at a constant cycle by a broadcasting method.

  When the connected device 200 receives the beacon message, the AP 100 receives a probe request signal from the connected device 200 as a response thereto (S530). At this time, the received probe request signal includes manufacturer information, PIN information, and MAC address information of the connected device 200.

  When the probe request signal is received (S530-Y), the AP 100 determines whether specific manufacturer information is included in the received probe request signal (S540). For example, when the manufacturer of the AP 100 is “Samsung Electronics”, it is determined whether or not the received probe request signal includes manufacturer information “Samsung Electronics”.

  When the specific manufacturer information is included in the received probe request signal (S540-Y), the AP 100 determines whether PIN information is included in the received probe request signal (S550).

  When the PIN information is included in the received probe request signal (S550-Y), the AP 100 determines whether the MAC address information included in the received probe request signal is a pre-registered address ( S560).

  If the MAC address information included in the received probe request signal is an address registered in advance, the AP 100 transmits a probe response signal including the wireless communication connection success information to the connected device 200 (S580).

  Then, the AP 100 performs a PIN wireless communication connection (S580). Specifically, when the AP 100 transmits a probe response signal to the connection device 200, the AP 100 receives an authentication request signal and an connection request signal from the connection device 200. And AP100 transmits the authentication response signal and connection response signal with respect to it.

  When it is confirmed that the AP 100 can establish a wireless communication connection with the connection device 200, the AP 100 transmits an EAP Identify signal including the wireless communication connection data to the connection device 200. Here, the wireless communication connection data includes SSID, PIN information, and the like for connecting the AP 100 and the connected device 200. When the communication unit 130 receives the EAP Identify response signal from the connected device 200, the communication unit 130 transmits an EAP START signal requesting the start of WPS to the connected device 200. Through the above-described process, the AP 100 starts a wireless communication connection with the connection device 200.

  However, the specific manufacturer information is not included in the received probe request signal (S540-N), the PIN information is not included in the received probe request signal (S550-N), or the received probe request is received. If the MAC address information included in the signal is not pre-registered MAC address information (S560-N), the AP 100 transmits a probe response signal including the wireless communication connection failure information to the connection device 200 (S570).

  On the other hand, when the connection device 200 is successfully wirelessly connected to the AP 100, the AP 100 automatically stores the related information of the connection device 200, and when the connection device 200 tries to reconnect to the connection device 200 after that, the connection device 200 is stored in advance. The connection can be automatically performed using the related information of the connection device 200.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining a wireless communication connection method of the connection device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  First, when the connection device 200 is attached to the AP 100, the connection device 200 registers its own MAC address information in the AP 100 through the same process as in FIG. 4 (S610). Then, the connected device 200 is removed from the AP 100 and attached to the host device 300 (S620).

  Then, the connected device 200 receives a beacon message from the AP 100 (S630). At this time, the manufacturer information of the AP 100 is included in the beacon message.

  When the beacon message is received, the connected device 200 determines whether the specific manufacturer information is included in the beacon message (S640).

  When the specific manufacturer information is included in the beacon message (S640-Y), the connected device 200 generates PIN information (S650). At this time, the PIN information may be an 8-digit password generated randomly.

  Then, the connected device 200 transmits a probe request signal including PIN information and MAC address information to the AP 100 (S660).

  However, when the specific manufacturer information is not included in the beacon message (S640-N), the connection device 200 performs the wireless communication connection using the conventional wireless communication connection method (S690).

  When the probe response signal is received from the AP 100, the connected device 200 determines whether or not the wireless communication connection success information is included in the probe response signal received from the AP 100 (S670). When the wireless communication connection success information is included in the probe response signal (S670-Y), the WPS of the PIN method of the connected device 200 is advanced (S680).

  However, if the probe response signal includes failure information that is not wireless communication connection success information (S670-N), the connected device 200 performs a wireless communication connection using a conventional wireless communication connection method (S690).

  As described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the operation of the AP 100 and the connection device 200 allows the user to make a wireless communication connection more intuitively. Since PIN information is used, security can be maintained in the process of wireless communication connection, and wireless communication connection is possible only by connecting to a connected device without a separate USB memory. Priorities can be given to wireless communication connections.

  On the other hand, the above-described operation of the connected device 200 can always operate when the connected device 200 is attached to the host device 300. However, this is only one embodiment, and the host device 300 operates in a specific mode (for example, EASY). The operation of the connection device 200 described above is performed only in the wireless connection mode), and if it is not the specific mode, the wireless communication connection can be performed by the conventional method.

  In the above, it is assumed that the AP 100 is a separate device, but this is only one embodiment, and the technical idea of the present invention can be applied to the AP 100 of the present invention as long as the AP 100 has an AP function. For example, the AP 100 can be realized by a device such as a TV or a PC.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can come up with various changes or modifications within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims. Of course, it is understood that these also belong to the technical scope of the present invention.
