Description

本発明は、2種類の無線方式を用いて無線通信を行う無線通信装置および無線通信システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a wireless communication apparatus and a wireless communication system that perform wireless communication using two types of wireless systems.

スマートフォンやタブレットなどの携帯無線装置の普及により、携帯無線装置のカメラで撮影した画像データなどを手軽に印刷できるようにしたシステムが提案されている(例えば特許文献1)。   With the widespread use of portable wireless devices such as smartphones and tablets, a system that can easily print image data taken with a camera of the portable wireless device has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

特許文献1では、画像形成装置と携帯電話機との間で、RFID(Radio Frequency Identifier)にて、画像形成装置のBluetooth(登録商標)アドレスを携帯電話機に送信し、携帯電話機は受信したBluetoothアドレスを用いて、Bluetoothにて画像形成装置と無線通信を行っている。   In Patent Document 1, a Bluetooth (registered trademark) address of an image forming apparatus is transmitted to the mobile phone by an RFID (Radio Frequency Identifier) between the image forming apparatus and the mobile phone, and the mobile phone receives the received Bluetooth address. It is used for wireless communication with the image forming apparatus via Bluetooth.

特許第4981826号公報Japanese Patent No. 498826

しかしながら、RFIDでの非接触通信を行える他の携帯電話機が近くに存在した場合、この携帯電話機でも、画像形成装置のBluetoothアドレスを受信できるため、特許文献1のシステムは、セキュリティ性が高いとは言えない。   However, when another mobile phone capable of non-contact communication using RFID exists nearby, this mobile phone can also receive the Bluetooth address of the image forming apparatus. Therefore, the system of Patent Document 1 has high security. I can not say.

また、特許文献1では、Bluetoothで画像データ等の伝送を行うことを想定している。Bluetoothは、規格の更新により、伝送速度も速くなる傾向にあるが、大容量のデータの伝送に向いているとはいえない。また、Bluetoothは無線通信範囲も限られており、大容量のデータの送信を希望するユーザにとって、使い勝手がよいとは言えない。   In Patent Document 1, it is assumed that image data or the like is transmitted by Bluetooth. Although Bluetooth tends to increase the transmission speed due to the update of the standard, it cannot be said that it is suitable for transmitting large amounts of data. In addition, Bluetooth has a limited wireless communication range, so it cannot be said that it is convenient for users who wish to transmit large amounts of data.

図2は本実施形態による無線通信システム1のフローチャートである。このフローチャートは、携帯無線装置3のユーザが、据置無線装置2が設置されている店舗を訪問して、据置無線装置2が提供する画像データの印刷サービスを利用する際の処理手順である。携帯無線装置3には、予め、この印刷サービス用のアプリケーション・ソフトウェア(以下、単にアプリと呼ぶ)がインストールされているものとする。   FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the radio communication system 1 according to the present embodiment. This flowchart is a processing procedure when the user of the portable wireless device 3 visits a store where the stationary wireless device 2 is installed and uses the image data printing service provided by the stationary wireless device 2. It is assumed that application software (hereinafter simply referred to as an application) for the printing service is installed in the portable wireless device 3 in advance.

まず、ユーザは、このアプリを起動する(ステップS1)。図3はアプリの初期画面の一例を示す図である。図3の初期画面には、「Wi−Fiかんたん接続」の選択ボタンb1と、「パスワード入力方式」の選択ボタンb2と、「設定画面に移動」の選択ボタンb3とが表示されている。   First, the user activates this application (step S1). FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the initial screen of the application. On the initial screen of FIG. 3, a selection button b1 of “Wi-Fi easy connection”, a selection button b2 of “password input method”, and a selection button b3 of “move to setting screen” are displayed.

選択ボタンb1〜b3のうち、特徴的なものは、選択ボタンb1で選択される「Wi−Fiかんたん接続」であり、以下では、この選択ボタンb1を選択した場合の処理手順を詳細に説明する。なお、選択ボタンb2で選択される「パスワード入力方式」は、ユーザにパスワードを入力させて、第1無線通信部4と第3無線通信部21との間の無線通信のための認証を行うものである。また、選択ボタンb3で選択される「設定画面に移動」は、設定画面のメッセージに従って、第1無線通信部4の識別情報を選択するものである。   Among the selection buttons b1 to b3, a characteristic one is “Wi-Fi easy connection” selected by the selection button b1, and the processing procedure when the selection button b1 is selected will be described in detail below. . Note that the “password input method” selected by the selection button b2 allows the user to input a password and performs authentication for wireless communication between the first wireless communication unit 4 and the third wireless communication unit 21. It is. “Move to setting screen” selected by the selection button b3 is for selecting identification information of the first wireless communication unit 4 in accordance with a message on the setting screen.

図2のフローチャートでは、選択ボタンb1が選択されたか否かを判定し(ステップS2)、選択されるとステップS3以降に進み、他の選択ボタンb2またはb3が選択された場合には、図2のフローチャートを終了させるようにしている。   In the flowchart of FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not the selection button b1 has been selected (step S2). When the selection button b1 is selected, the process proceeds to step S3 and subsequent steps, and when another selection button b2 or b3 is selected, FIG. This flowchart is terminated.

選択ボタンb1が選択されると、例えば図4に示すような第2画面が表示される(ステップS3)。この第2画面内には、「機器をNFCにかざしてください」というメッセージが記載されている。このメッセージに従って、ユーザは、携帯無線装置3を据置無線装置2のリーダ部6にかざすと(ステップS4)、第2無線方式にて、据置無線装置2はパスワードを携帯無線装置3に送信し、携帯無線装置3は識別情報を据置無線装置2に送信する(ステップS5)。   When the selection button b1 is selected, for example, a second screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed (step S3). In the second screen, a message “Please hold the device over NFC” is described. According to this message, when the user holds the portable wireless device 3 over the reader unit 6 of the stationary wireless device 2 (step S4), the stationary wireless device 2 transmits the password to the portable wireless device 3 in the second wireless method. The portable wireless device 3 transmits identification information to the stationary wireless device 2 (step S5).

これにより、据置無線装置2と携帯無線装置3は双方とも、第1無線方式での無線通信に必要な識別情報とパスワードを所持することができる。第2無線方式での無線通信範囲は十分に狭いため、据置無線装置2のリーダ部6にかざした携帯無線装置3と据置無線装置2との間だけで、識別情報とパスワードを交換することができ、セキュリティを向上できる。   Thereby, both the stationary wireless device 2 and the portable wireless device 3 can possess identification information and a password necessary for wireless communication in the first wireless system. Since the wireless communication range in the second wireless system is sufficiently narrow, the identification information and the password can be exchanged only between the portable wireless device 3 and the stationary wireless device 2 held over the reader unit 6 of the stationary wireless device 2. Yes, security can be improved.

携帯無線装置3が据置無線装置2に送信する識別情報は、携帯無線装置3内の識別情報生成部22により生成される。識別情報生成部22は、携帯無線装置3に固有の固有情報を用いて識別情報を生成するため、仮に、別の携帯無線装置3が本来の携帯無線装置3の近くに存在していたとしても、据置無線装置2は、受信した識別情報により、本来の携帯無線装置3と第1無線方式にて無線通信を行うことができ、携帯無線装置3のなりすましを防止できる。   The identification information that the portable wireless device 3 transmits to the stationary wireless device 2 is generated by the identification information generating unit 22 in the portable wireless device 3. Since the identification information generation unit 22 generates identification information using unique information unique to the portable wireless device 3, even if another portable wireless device 3 exists near the original portable wireless device 3. The stationary wireless device 2 can perform wireless communication with the original portable wireless device 3 by the first wireless method based on the received identification information, and can prevent the portable wireless device 3 from being spoofed.

図5は識別情報のビット列の一例を示す図である。図5の例では、識別情報の先頭側pビットは通信先である据置無線装置2の種類を特定する情報であり、その次のqビットは携帯無線装置3の固有情報であり、その次のrビットはランダムな情報である。先頭側pビットの情報は必須ではないが、例えば、印刷サービスを依頼するときのコード情報や、記録メディアへの記録サービスを依頼するときのコード情報などを予め決めておくことで、受信した据置無線装置2は、ユーザがどのようなサービスを希望しているのかをpビットの情報だけで判断できるため、便利である。   FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a bit string of identification information. In the example of FIG. 5, the leading p bit of the identification information is information specifying the type of the stationary wireless device 2 that is the communication destination, and the next q bit is unique information of the portable wireless device 3, The r bits are random information. The p-bit information on the leading side is not essential, but for example, the code information when requesting the printing service, the code information when requesting the recording service to the recording medium, and the like are determined in advance. The wireless device 2 is convenient because it can determine what service the user wants from only p-bit information.

図5のように、識別情報中に携帯無線装置3の固有情報を含めることで、一意に特定可能な固有の識別情報を生成できる。したがって、据置無線装置2は、特定の携帯無線装置3とだけ、第1無線方式で無線通信を行うことができる。なお、図5の識別情報は一例であり、そのビット列の順序や、ビット列に含まれる情報は任意に変更して構わない。   As shown in FIG. 5, by including the unique information of the portable wireless device 3 in the identification information, unique identification information that can be uniquely identified can be generated. Therefore, the stationary wireless device 2 can perform wireless communication only with the specific portable wireless device 3 by the first wireless method. Note that the identification information in FIG. 5 is an example, and the order of the bit strings and the information included in the bit strings may be arbitrarily changed.

一方、据置無線装置2内のパスワード生成部7は、予め決められた文字数の任意のパスワードを生成する。パスワードは、識別情報と組み合わせて認証されるため、パスワード自体は、重複した情報でも構わない。   On the other hand, the password generation unit 7 in the stationary wireless device 2 generates an arbitrary password having a predetermined number of characters. Since the password is authenticated in combination with the identification information, the password itself may be duplicate information.

図2のステップS5が終了すると、据置無線装置2は、取得した識別情報とパスワードを用いて、第1無線方式による無線通信回線の接続確立処理を行う(ステップS6)。この接続確立処理では、識別情報とパスワードを用いて認証部8にて認証処理を行い、認証処理に成功しない限り、接続確立部9は接続確立処理を完了させないようにしている。   When step S5 in FIG. 2 is completed, the stationary wireless device 2 performs a wireless communication line connection establishment process by the first wireless method using the acquired identification information and password (step S6). In this connection establishment process, the authentication unit 8 performs an authentication process using the identification information and the password, and the connection establishment unit 9 does not complete the connection establishment process unless the authentication process is successful.

接続確立処理が完了すると、据置無線装置2は、携帯無線装置3に対して、接続確立処理が完了した旨を通知する(ステップS7)。これにより、携帯無線装置3には、例えば図6に示す第3画面が表示される。図6の第3画面には、「Wi−Fi接続が完了しました」旨のメッセージが表示されている。   When the connection establishment process is completed, the stationary wireless apparatus 2 notifies the portable wireless apparatus 3 that the connection establishment process has been completed (step S7). Thereby, for example, a third screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the portable wireless device 3. On the third screen in FIG. 6, a message “Wi-Fi connection has been completed” is displayed.

その後、携帯無線装置3の表示部24には、画像データを選択するための第4画面が自動的に表示される(ステップS8)。図7は第4画面の一例を示す図である。第4画面には、携帯無線装置3内に格納されている画像データのサムネイル画像が表示され、この中から、任意の画像データと印刷枚数とを個別に選択できるようにしている。   Thereafter, a fourth screen for selecting image data is automatically displayed on the display unit 24 of the portable wireless device 3 (step S8). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the fourth screen. On the fourth screen, thumbnail images of the image data stored in the portable wireless device 3 are displayed, and arbitrary image data and the number of prints can be individually selected from the thumbnail images.

ユーザが任意の画像データと印刷枚数の選択を終えて、第4画面内の選択終了ボタンb4をタッチすると、選択した画像データの一覧と印刷総枚数とを表示する第5画面が表示される(ステップS9)。図8は第5画面の一例を示す図である。ユーザが、第5画面内の送信ボタンb5をタッチすると、選択した画像データが第1無線方式にて据置無線装置2に送信される(ステップS10)。   When the user finishes selecting arbitrary image data and the number of prints and touches the selection end button b4 in the fourth screen, a fifth screen displaying a list of the selected image data and the total number of prints is displayed ( Step S9). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the fifth screen. When the user touches the transmission button b5 in the fifth screen, the selected image data is transmitted to the stationary wireless device 2 by the first wireless method (step S10).

第1無線方式は、無線LANやBluetoothなどの高速無線回線であるため、画像データのような大容量データであっても、比較的短時間でデータ伝送を行うことができる。また、無線LANは、NFCやBluetooth Low Energy(Bluetooth LE)などの近接無線通信よりも、無線通信範囲が広いため、いったん第2無線方式にて識別情報とパスワードの交換を行ってしまえば、ユーザは据置無線装置2に携帯無線装置3をかざさずに、画像データの伝送を行えるため、ユーザの使い勝手がよくなる。   Since the first wireless system is a high-speed wireless line such as a wireless LAN or Bluetooth, even large-capacity data such as image data can be transmitted in a relatively short time. Also, wireless LAN has a wider wireless communication range than close proximity wireless communication such as NFC or Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE), so once the identification information and password are exchanged using the second wireless method, Since the image data can be transmitted without holding the portable wireless device 3 over the stationary wireless device 2, user convenience is improved.

その後、ユーザは、据置無線装置2の表示画面のメニューに従って、画像データの送信が終了した旨のボタンを操作する(ステップS11)。なお、ユーザは、画像データの送信終了を据置無線装置2の画面上で指示するのではなく、携帯無線装置3の画面上で指示してもよい。   Thereafter, the user operates a button indicating that the transmission of the image data has been completed according to the menu on the display screen of the stationary wireless device 2 (step S11). Note that the user may instruct the end of transmission of image data on the screen of the portable wireless device 3 instead of instructing on the screen of the stationary wireless device 2.

据置無線装置2は、ユーザから画像データ送信終了を指示されると、第1無線方式による無線通信回線の接続を遮断する(ステップS12)。   When instructed by the user to end image data transmission, the stationary wireless device 2 cuts off the connection of the wireless communication line by the first wireless method (step S12).

その後、据置無線装置2の表示部12には、プリントタイプを選択する第6画面が表示される(ステップS13)。図9は第6画面の一例を示す図である。第6画面には、各画像データごとに個別に印刷することを選択するボタンb6と、インデックスプリントを選択するボタンb7と、2枚の画像データを並べて印刷する分割プリントを選択するボタンb8とが表示されている。ユーザがいずれかのボタンを選択すると、次に、表示部12にはプリントサイズを選択する第7画面が表示される(ステップS14)。図10は第7画面の一例を示す図である。第7画面では、例えば、L版や2L版などのプリントサイズを選択する。なお、ステップS13とS14は、ステップS8で画像データの選択を行う前後で行ってもよい。その後、支払い処理のための第8画面が表示される(ステップS15)。   Thereafter, a sixth screen for selecting a print type is displayed on the display unit 12 of the stationary wireless device 2 (step S13). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the sixth screen. On the sixth screen, there are a button b6 for selecting printing individually for each image data, a button b7 for selecting an index print, and a button b8 for selecting a divided print for printing two pieces of image data side by side. It is displayed. When the user selects any button, the display unit 12 displays a seventh screen for selecting a print size (step S14). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the seventh screen. On the seventh screen, for example, a print size such as L plate or 2L plate is selected. Note that steps S13 and S14 may be performed before and after selecting image data in step S8. Thereafter, an eighth screen for payment processing is displayed (step S15).

なお、プリントタイプやプリントサイズの選択は、携帯無線装置2の表示部24上で行ってもよい。   The print type and print size may be selected on the display unit 24 of the portable wireless device 2.

上述した図2のフローチャートを実行するにあたって、複数の携帯無線装置3がほぼ同時に、一つの据置無線装置2のリーダ部6にかざされる場合もありうる。この場合、据置無線装置2は、最先に第2無線方式にて受信した識別情報を採用し、この識別情報を送信した携帯無線装置3以外の携帯無線装置3に対して、この識別情報を第2無線方式を介して据置無線装置2から送信し、各携帯無線装置3が、この識別情報を用いて、共通の無線通信回線にて、第1無線方式にて無線通信を行うようにしてもよい。これにより、据置無線装置2は、複数の携帯無線装置3と同時並行的に無線通信を行うことができ、各携帯無線装置3を待たせなくて済む。   When the above-described flowchart of FIG. 2 is executed, a plurality of portable wireless devices 3 may be held over the reader unit 6 of one stationary wireless device 2 almost simultaneously. In this case, the stationary wireless device 2 adopts the identification information received first by the second wireless method, and this identification information is sent to the portable wireless device 3 other than the portable wireless device 3 that transmitted the identification information. It is transmitted from the stationary wireless device 2 via the second wireless method, and each portable wireless device 3 performs wireless communication using the first wireless method over the common wireless communication line using this identification information. Also good. Accordingly, the stationary wireless device 2 can perform wireless communication with a plurality of portable wireless devices 3 in parallel, and does not have to wait for each portable wireless device 3.

図1では、据置無線装置2から携帯無線装置3との間で第2無線方式にてパスワードと識別情報を交換する際、パスワードと識別情報をそのまま送受する例を示したが、セキュリティをより強化させるには、パスワードと識別情報を暗号化して送受するのが望ましい。この場合、据置無線装置2と携帯無線装置3の双方に、暗号化部14,26を設ける必要がある。   In FIG. 1, when the password and the identification information are exchanged between the stationary wireless device 2 and the portable wireless device 3 by the second wireless method, the password and the identification information are transmitted and received as they are, but the security is further enhanced. For this purpose, it is desirable to encrypt and transmit the password and identification information. In this case, it is necessary to provide the encryption units 14 and 26 in both the stationary wireless device 2 and the portable wireless device 3.

図11は暗号化部14,26を備えた無線通信システム1の概略構成を示すブロック図である。据置無線装置2内の暗号化部14は、例えば、携帯無線装置3との間で共有される共有鍵を用いて、パスワード生成部7が生成したパスワードを暗号化して、第2無線方式を介して携帯無線装置3に送信する。同様に、携帯無線装置3内の暗号化部26は、上述した共有鍵を用いて、識別情報生成部22が生成したパスワードを暗号化して、第2無線方式を介して携帯無線装置3に送信する。   FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the wireless communication system 1 including the encryption units 14 and 26. The encryption unit 14 in the stationary wireless device 2 encrypts the password generated by the password generation unit 7 using, for example, a shared key shared with the portable wireless device 3 and passes the second wireless method. To the portable wireless device 3. Similarly, the encryption unit 26 in the portable wireless device 3 encrypts the password generated by the identification information generating unit 22 using the shared key described above, and transmits it to the portable wireless device 3 via the second wireless method. To do.

このように、本実施形態では、携帯無線装置3を据置無線装置2にかざしたときに、第1無線方式での無線通信に必要なパスワードを第2無線方式にて据置無線装置2から携帯無線装置3に送信するとともに、第1無線通信部4と携帯無線装置3との無線通信回線を識別する識別情報を第2無線方式にて携帯無線装置3から据置無線装置2に送信する。これにより、携帯無線装置3と据置無線装置2が双方とも、セキュリティを担保した状態で、識別情報とパスワードを取得でき、他の無線機器が勝手に識別情報やパスワードを取得するおそれを防止できる。仮に、携帯無線装置3の近くにいた別の携帯無線装置3が据置無線装置2からのパスワードを取得したとしても、本来の携帯無線装置3が据置無線装置2に送信する識別情報は、携帯無線装置3の固有情報を用いて生成されているため、本来の携帯無線装置3以外の携帯無線装置3が据置無線装置2と第1無線方式で無線通信を行うおそれを防止できる。よって、携帯無線装置3が据置無線装置2に送信した画像データを勝手に別の無線機器が取得するおそれもなくなり、セキュアな無線通信が可能となる。   Thus, in this embodiment, when the portable wireless device 3 is held over the stationary wireless device 2, the password required for wireless communication in the first wireless method is transferred from the stationary wireless device 2 to the portable wireless device in the second wireless method. While transmitting to the apparatus 3, the identification information which identifies the radio | wireless communication line of the 1st radio | wireless communication part 4 and the portable radio | wireless apparatus 3 is transmitted from the portable radio | wireless apparatus 3 to the stationary radio | wireless apparatus 2 by a 2nd radio system. As a result, both the portable wireless device 3 and the stationary wireless device 2 can acquire the identification information and the password in a state in which security is ensured, and it is possible to prevent the risk of other wireless devices acquiring the identification information and the password without permission. Even if another portable wireless device 3 located near the portable wireless device 3 acquires the password from the stationary wireless device 2, the identification information transmitted from the original portable wireless device 3 to the stationary wireless device 2 is the portable wireless device. Since it is generated using the unique information of the device 3, it is possible to prevent the portable wireless device 3 other than the original portable wireless device 3 from performing wireless communication with the stationary wireless device 2 by the first wireless method. Therefore, there is no possibility that another wireless device arbitrarily acquires the image data transmitted from the portable wireless device 3 to the stationary wireless device 2, and secure wireless communication is possible.

また、本実施形態によれば、ユーザ自身で識別情報やパスワードを手入力しなくて済み、ユーザの手間が省ける。   Further, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary for the user himself / herself to manually input identification information and a password, thereby saving the user's trouble.
