(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a second wireless communication apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  A wireless communication device 1 (second wireless communication device) according to the present embodiment includes a biological information reading unit 2, a wireless unit 3, and a device control unit 4.

  The second wireless communication apparatus 1 is, for example, a slave unit, and receives a management signal including identification information of a first wireless communication apparatus (not shown) that is a master unit. Communicate wirelessly. The management signal is, for example, a beacon indicating a management frame of a wireless LAN standard defined by IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11. The first wireless communication device (master device) is, for example, a wireless LAN access point, a mobile router, or the like. The second wireless communication device 1 (slave device) is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a portable game machine, or the like.

  The biological information reading unit 2 reads biological information. The wireless unit 3 transmits a wireless signal based on the instruction and receives a wireless signal including a beacon.

  The device control unit 4 is configured to include identification information of the first wireless communication device (master device) (not shown) based on the biological information such as fingerprints, eye irises, and retinas read by the biological information reading unit 2. Information is generated based on a predetermined method. That is, for example, the device control unit 4 extracts a feature point of a living body from the biological information read by the biological information reading unit 2, obtains position information of the extracted feature point, and sets data obtained by arranging the position information as a predetermined value. The setting information is generated by changing according to the rules. The predetermined wireless communication system is, for example, a wireless LAN communication system that performs communication according to a wireless LAN standard defined by IEEE 802.11. The setting information includes information (for example, identification information (SSID (Service Set IDentifier) and encryption key) necessary for performing communication by a predetermined wireless communication method).

  And the radio | wireless part 3 receives a beacon. The beacon usually includes identification information of the master unit. When there are a plurality of parent devices in the vicinity, a plurality of beacons are received.

  The device control unit 4 detects a beacon in which the identification information included in the beacon received by the wireless unit 3 matches the identification information generated by itself.

  The identification information included in the beacon matches because the parent device also reads the same person's biological information as in the second wireless communication device 1 (slave device), and based on the read biological information, This indicates that setting information including identification information of the parent device is generated by the same predetermined method. The same person is a user of a child device that desires to connect to the parent device, and this user has the parent device and the child device read his / her biological information.

  When the device control unit 4 detects a beacon that matches the identification information generated by itself, it can communicate with the first wireless communication device (master unit) (not shown) that transmitted the beacon. Judgment is made, and setting information generated by its own device control unit 4 corresponding to this identification information is set.

  Accordingly, the second wireless communication apparatus 1 can perform wireless LAN communication with the first wireless communication apparatus (master) by using this setting information.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the slave unit uses the beacon from the master unit having the identification information generated based on the same biological information as the identification information generated based on the biological information. , It becomes possible to communicate with the parent device based on the setting information corresponding to the identification information. Further, when the slave unit receives the identification information generated based on the other biological information by the beacon from the parent unit having the identification information generated based on the different biological information, the slave unit corresponds to the identification information. It becomes possible to communicate with the base unit based on the setting information. On the other hand, a child device that has set setting information generated based on certain biological information is a parent device that is physically the same parent device as a child device that has set setting information generated based on another biological information. However, since the identification information of the parent device is different, communication is performed with the parent device via a different network based on the control of the parent device.

For this reason, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, since the slave unit other than itself communicates with the master unit based on the different setting information, the security of the slave unit is improved.
(Second Embodiment)

As a result, the second wireless communication device 7 (slave device) can perform wireless LAN communication with the first wireless communication device 6 (master device) by using this setting information.

  Thus, according to the 2nd Embodiment of this invention, a subunit | mobile_unit produces | generates identification information based on biometric information. And when this identification information is received by the beacon from the main | base station which has the identification information produced | generated based on the same biometric information, it can communicate with a main | base station based on the setting information corresponding to this identification information. It becomes like this. Further, when the slave unit receives the identification information generated based on the other biological information by the beacon from the parent unit having the identification information generated based on the different biological information, the slave unit corresponds to the identification information. It becomes possible to communicate with the base unit based on the setting information. On the other hand, a child device that has set setting information generated based on certain biological information is a parent device that is physically the same parent device as a child device that has set setting information generated based on another biological information. However, the identification information of the master unit is different. For this reason, it communicates with a main | base station in a different network based on control of a main | base station.

For this reason, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, since the slave unit other than itself communicates with the master unit based on the different setting information, the security of the slave unit is improved.

The second device control unit 24 includes a second fingerprint data generation unit 25, a second setting information generation unit 26, and a second control unit 27.

  For example, the first fingerprint information reading unit 18 reads the entire fingertip of the first joint of the index finger and outputs the first fingerprint image as fingerprint information. The first fingerprint data generation unit 20 generates a first feature point image indicating a feature point of a fingerprint from the first fingerprint image output from the first fingerprint information reading unit 18 as fingerprint information data. The first setting information generation unit 21 generates setting information based on the first feature point image generated by the first fingerprint data generation unit 20. The first control unit 22 first transmits a wireless signal of a management signal (beacon) including identification information of the first wireless communication device 16 included in the setting information generated by the first setting information generation unit 21. The wireless unit 9 is instructed.

  On the other hand, the second fingerprint information reader 23, the second fingerprint data generator 25, and the second setting information generator 26 are the first fingerprint information reader 18, the first fingerprint data generator 20, This is the same as the setting information generation unit 21 in FIG. That is, for example, the second fingerprint information reading unit 23 reads the entire fingertip of the first joint of the index finger and outputs the second fingerprint image as fingerprint information. The second fingerprint data generation unit 25 generates a second feature point image indicating a feature point of the fingerprint from the second fingerprint image output from the second fingerprint information reading unit 23 as fingerprint information data. The second setting information generation unit 26 generates setting information based on the second feature point image generated by the second fingerprint data generation unit 25. The second control unit 27 includes the identification information of the first wireless communication device 16 included in the beacon received by the second wireless unit 12 and the identification information included in the setting information generated by the second control unit 27 of itself. A beacon with the same information is detected. And the setting information which the 2nd control part 27 of own containing the identification information of the 1st radio | wireless communication apparatus 16 contained in this detected beacon produced | generated is set.

  Thus, the second wireless communication device 17 (slave device) can perform wireless LAN communication with the first wireless communication device 16 (master device) by using the setting information.

  Next, the operation of the communication system according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, 6 and 7.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the communication system according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the fingerprint information reading unit such as the first fingerprint information reading unit and the second fingerprint information reading unit 23. For example, the fingerprint information reading unit that reads the entire fingertip of the first joint of the index finger An example is shown.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a fingerprint image of a fingertip read by the fingerprint information reading unit illustrated in FIG. The figure shows the fingerprint pattern of the center part (swelled part) of the fingertip. The area around the center of the fingertip is blurred because it is not raised. The fingerprint image is composed of ridges formed by a fingerprint pattern at the center of the fingertip. For example, an end point (◯) where the ridge is interrupted and a branch point (□) where the ridge is separated are feature points of the fingerprint.

  FIG. 7 shows a process of acquiring feature point images such as a first feature point image and a second feature point image from the fingerprint image shown in FIG. 6 and acquiring position information of each feature point from the feature point image. It is a figure for demonstrating an example. (A) is a figure which shows an example when the black dot (●) which shows the feature point of a fingerprint is superimposed on a fingerprint image, and it is set as a feature point image. (B) is a figure for demonstrating an example of the process which sets a coordinate to the feature point image shown to (a), and acquires each positional information on each feature point from a feature point image based on this coordinate. For example, alphabets from a to f are set in the vertical direction of the feature point image, and numbers from 0 to 9 are set in the horizontal direction as coordinates. In this figure, the feature point in the lower right of the feature point image is aligned with the coordinate 0f, and based on this, the lowest straight line connecting the coordinate 0f and the other black circles is rotated so as to be horizontal. It shows a state.

  In step S1 of FIG. 4, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the user sets the index finger on the first fingerprint information reading unit 18 of the first wireless communication device 16, thereby the first fingerprint information reading unit. 18 reads the fingerprint and outputs a first fingerprint image. When the first wireless communication device 16 performs fingerprint authentication with a fingerprint authentication unit or the like set in advance in the device and enables the device to be used after authentication, the fingerprint authentication unit is used as the first fingerprint information. It may be used for the reading unit 18.

  In step S2 of FIG. 4, the first fingerprint data generation unit 20 extracts fingerprint feature points (ridge end points, branch points) from the first fingerprint image using a general fingerprint authentication technique, A first feature point image is generated as shown in FIG.

  In step S3 of FIG. 4, the first setting information generation unit 21 moves and rotates the first feature point image generated by the first fingerprint data generation unit 20 as shown in FIG. 7B. For example, the coordinate values of the positions of the feature points are arranged in order from left to right and from top to bottom. That is, positions a and c are in position 2, c and e and f are in position 3, a and e and f are in position 8, d is in position 9, and Since f is at the 0 position, a2, c2, c3, e3, f3, a8, e8, f8, d9, and f0 are arranged. Then, for example, the coordinate values of the first ten feature points are taken and a feature point coordinate data string is generated (for example, if less than ten, a1a2a3a4,. To do). The feature point coordinate data string in this case is a2c2c3e3f3a8e8f8d9f0. The first half (a2c2c3e3f3) of the feature point coordinate data string is used as the identification information (SSID) of the first wireless communication device 16, and the second half (a8e8f8d9f0) is used as the encryption key.

  In step S4 of FIG. 4, the first control unit 22 of the first wireless communication device 16 identifies the first wireless communication device 16 in the setting information generated by the first setting information generation unit 21 ( The first radio unit 9 is instructed to transmit a beacon including the SSID).

  In step S <b> 5 of FIG. 4, the first wireless unit 9 of the first wireless communication device 16 transmits a beacon including identification information of the first wireless communication device 16 based on an instruction from the first control unit 22. To do.

  Next, in step S6 of FIG. 4, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the user sets the index finger on the second fingerprint information reading unit 23 of the second wireless communication device 17, thereby the second fingerprint. The information reading unit 23 reads the fingerprint and outputs a second fingerprint image. When the second wireless communication device 17 performs fingerprint authentication with a fingerprint authentication unit or the like set in advance in the device and enables the device to be used after the authentication, the fingerprint authentication unit is used as the second fingerprint information. The reading unit 23 may be used.

  In step S7 of FIG. 4, the second fingerprint data generation unit 25 extracts the fingerprint feature points (ridge end points, branch points) from the second fingerprint image, as shown in FIG. 7A. A second feature point image is generated.

  In step S8 of FIG. 4, the second setting information generation unit 26 moves and rotates the second feature point image generated by the second fingerprint data generation unit 25 as shown in FIG. 7B. . Then, the coordinate values of the position of each feature point are arranged, for example, from left to right and from top to bottom, and a feature point coordinate data string is generated in the same manner as in step S3 in FIG. At this time, when the user who has set the index finger in the first fingerprint information reading unit 18 and the user who has set the index finger in the second fingerprint information reading unit 23 are the same user, FIG. Since the images shown are the same, the same feature point coordinate data string (a2c2c3e3f3a8e8f8d9f0) is generated. Then, setting information is generated from this feature point coordinate data string in the same manner as in step S3 of FIG. The first half (a2c2c3e3f3) of this feature point coordinate data string is used as identification information (SSID), and the second half (a8e8f8d9f0) is used as an encryption key, which is used as setting information.

  In step S9 of FIG. 4, the second control unit 27 stores the setting information generated by the second setting information generation unit 26 in a storage unit (not shown).

  Next, in step S10 of FIG. 4, the second radio unit 12 receives the beacon transmitted by the first radio unit 9 of the first radio communication device 16 in step S5.

  In step S11 of FIG. 4, the second control unit 27 waits for the reception of the beacon of the second wireless unit 12, and proceeds to step S12 when the second wireless unit 12 receives the beacon.

  In step S12 of FIG. 4, the second control unit 27 includes the identification information (SSID) of the first wireless communication device 16 included in the received beacon and the first wireless included in the setting information stored in step 9. A match / mismatch with the identification information (SSID) of the communication device 16 is determined. If the determination result indicates a match, the process proceeds to step S13. If the determination result indicates a mismatch, the process returns to step S11.

  4, the second control unit 27 sets the setting information stored in step 9 generated by the second setting information generation unit 26.

  Thus, the second wireless communication device 17 (slave device) can perform wireless LAN communication with the first wireless communication device 16 (master device) by using the setting information.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the second control unit 27 of the child device is included in the setting information generated by the parent device based on the fingerprint information included in the received beacon. Take out the identification information of the master unit. Then, the beacon in which the identification information of the parent device and the identification information of the parent device included in the setting information generated by the second control unit 27 of the own device are the same is detected. Then, its own second control unit 27 sets the setting information generated by its own second control unit 27 including the identification information of the parent device included in the detected beacon. As a result, the slave unit can communicate with the master unit.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the slave unit receives the identification information generated based on the fingerprint information from the master unit having the identification information generated based on the same fingerprint information. When the beacon is received, it becomes possible to communicate with the parent device based on the setting information corresponding to the identification information. Further, when the slave unit receives the identification information generated based on the other fingerprint information by the beacon from the parent unit having the identification information generated based on the different fingerprint information, It becomes possible to communicate with the parent device based on the corresponding setting information. On the other hand, a child device that has set setting information generated based on certain biological information is a parent device that is physically the same parent device as a child device that has set setting information generated based on another biological information. However, since the identification information of the parent device is different, communication is performed with the parent device via a different network based on the control of the parent device.

For this reason, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, since the slave unit other than itself communicates with the master unit based on the different setting information, the security of the slave unit is improved.

That is, the second setting information generation unit 26 divides predetermined data into a front half and a rear half in the same manner as the first setting information generation unit 21. Similarly, the feature point coordinate data string generated from the second feature point image is also divided into a front half and a rear half. Then, the predetermined data and the first half of the feature point coordinate data string are added to form an SSID, and the predetermined data and the second half of the feature point coordinate data string are added to form an encryption key, which is used as setting information.

  As described above, according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the effects obtained in the third embodiment of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. That is, according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the first fingerprint image (fingerprint information) or the second fingerprint image read by the first fingerprint information reading unit 18 or the second fingerprint information reading unit 23. The setting information is generated from the feature point coordinate data sequence generated based on the above and predetermined data (MAC address, random number). For this reason, it becomes more difficult to generate the setting information. For this reason, there is less possibility that the setting information is diverted to other wireless communication devices.

  In the above description, there is only one installation information generated and set for both the first wireless communication device (master device) and the second wireless communication device (slave device). However, a plurality of pieces of installation information corresponding to a plurality of different pieces of fingerprint information read by the fingerprint information reading unit may be generated, and the pieces of installation information may be stored in association with the plurality of fingerprint information.
