The system using the IoT device sharing apparatus 1 described above has the following points to be improved.

The IoT device sharing apparatus 1 manages the function of each IoT device 2 and provides each function to the user, while managing various information obtained as a result of using the function of the IoT device 2. I don't know where each piece of information is on the network. Therefore, even if the IoT device sharing apparatus 1 is used, there is an improvement point that the user cannot use the information acquired by the IoT device 2.

In order to provide the user with the information acquired by the IoT device 2, it is possible to manage the network position of the information acquired by the IoT device 2. At that time, the work of registering the IoT device 2 with the position of the acquired information on the network in association with the server or the like occurs. For IoT devices other than the IoT device 2 that can automatically register various information in a predetermined server, the unique ID number of the IoT device is written on the back surface of the IoT device during registration.

Further, when the IoT device 2 uses wireless communication that does not have a unique address in a wireless LAN or the like, the IoT device is connected via a wireless LAN router located between the internal network on the side where the IoT device 2 is located and the external network. In order to connect to a device located on an external network such as the sharing device 1, it is necessary to input communication settings such as SSID and encryption key to the IoT device 2 in order to connect to a wireless LAN router. However, since a general IoT device does not have an input interface, it is necessary to input communication settings such as SSID and encryption key to the IoT device 2 from another device via a USB connection or Bluetooth (registered trademark). That is, there is a point to be improved that complicated communication settings exist for the IoT device 2.

Further, the installer of the IoT device 2 needs to confirm whether or not the IoT device 2 is normally operating, in a timely manner. As to whether or not the IoT device 2 is normally operating, a dedicated management tool for checking whether or not the information acquired by the IoT device 2 is registered in a predetermined server is generally used. However, there is a troublesome work of inputting the unique ID number of the IoT device 2 to be checked for operation to a dedicated management tool. Further, since the input of the unique ID number of the IoT device 2 at the time of confirming the operation is generally performed at the site where the IoT device 2 is installed, the input tool such as the keyboard is likely to be defective. There are points to do.

The operation state confirmation button 101k may be operated in order to transmit information to the information storage device 103. This is because some IoT devices 101 do not constantly transmit state information to the information storage device 103 in order to efficiently use limited power, so the IoT device 101 operates properly at the time of confirming operation. This is because it is possible to check the status information acquired most recently in order to check whether or not the status information is present.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the CPU 101a of the IoT device 101 determines that the operation confirmation button 101k has been operated (S901), the CPU 101a acquires the state information and the specific information stored and held in the memory 101b (S903). The CPU 101a associates the acquired state information with the specific information and transmits it to the information storage device 103 (S905).

The information storage device 103 processes the acquired specific information and status information in the same manner as registration of normal status information (see FIG. 11).

The CPU 109a transmits confirmation state request information requesting transmission of the state information of the IoT device 101 identified by the obtained identification information for a predetermined period (S1225).

When the CPU 103a of the information storage device 103 acquires the confirmation status request information (S1231), the CPU 103a acquires the specific information of the IoT device 101 from the acquired confirmation operation status request information (S1233). From the accumulated state information (see FIG. 9) stored and held in the HDD 103c, the CPU 103a determines, for the IoT device 101 corresponding to the specific information, the state information for a predetermined period from the latest detection time described in the detection time area. Is acquired (S1235) and transmitted as confirmation state response information to the confirmation operation state providing device 109 (S1237).

When acquiring the confirmation status response information (S1227), the CPU 109a of the confirmation operation status providing device 109 acquires the specific information and the status information from the acquired confirmation status response information and displays the display 106f of the operation status confirmation terminal 106. The confirmation operation state information that can be displayed on the screen is generated (S1228).

It should be noted that, in general, the operator who confirms the operation state is often limited in access to the IoT information as compared with the IoT information manager. In the information management system 100, even if persons having different access rights are mixed, the work corresponding to each access right can be realized at the same time.

In addition, since the operation state confirmation terminal 106 is used by an unspecified number of operation state confirmation workers, generally used smartphones, two-dimensional bar code acquisition applications operating on smartphones, browser applications, etc. The commonly used application can be used as an operating status confirmation program. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare the special operation state confirmation terminal 106.

The HDD 207c records and holds operating system (OS), programs of other applications such as an IoT information management program, operation state confirmation destination connection information, state registration destination information, initial communication setting information (described later), and other data.

Other configurations are similar to those of the IoT information management device 107.

Second Information Used (1) IoT Information The IoT information of the IoT information management device 207 will be described. The IoT information is information in which each IoT device 101 is associated with various connection information such as connection information necessary for confirming the operation state information.

The data structure of the IoT information is shown in FIG. The IoT information has a specific information description area, a status registration destination connection information description area, an operation status confirmation destination connection information description area, an IoT device connection information description area, and an initial communication setting information description area. Specific information for uniquely specifying each IoT device 101 is described in the specific information description area. In the state registration destination connection information description area, the state registration destination connection information that uniquely identifies the destination to register the state information on the network is described. For example, the address of the information storage device 103 on the network is described. In the operation state confirmation destination connection information description area, operation state confirmation destination connection information for uniquely identifying the destination for confirming the operation state of the IoT device 101 on the network is described. For example, the address of the confirmation operation state providing device 109 on the network is described.

In the initial communication setting information description area, initial communication setting information preset in the IoT device 201 is described. The initial communication setting information has an SSID in the wireless LAN, an encryption key, and an initial IP (Internet Protocol) address that is position information on the network that uniquely identifies the IoT device 201. The user terminal 205 establishes a direct connection (connection in ad hoc mode) in the wireless LAN between the user terminal 205 and the IoT device 201 by setting the initial communication setting information of the IoT device 201. it can. Thereby, information can be transmitted and received between the user terminal 205 and the IoT device 201 without going through the router RT.

Operation of Third Information Management System 200 The operation of the information management system 200 will be described below. In the information management system 200, the IoT device 101 is connected to the information storage device 103 via the router RT to enable transmission of status information, a connection setting process, a device registration process (see FIG. 9a), and a status information acquisition process (see FIG. 10), state information registration processing (see FIG. 11), and operation state confirmation processing (see FIGS. 12 to 14).

1. Connection Setting Process The connection setting process will be described with reference to FIGS. The connection setting process is a process executed when the IoT device 101 is installed in a predetermined place.

A person who uses the information management system 200 sets the communication circuit 205h in advance so that the IoT management terminal 205 can transmit and receive information via the router RT. Specifically, when the router RT uses a wireless LAN, an SSID (Service Set IDentifier) and an encryption key can be connected to the router RT in advance in the communication setting of the communication circuit 205h of the IoT management terminal 205. Check and set.

As in the first embodiment, the IoT information in which the identification information of the IoT device 201 to be installed, the state registration destination connection information, and the initial operation state confirmation destination connection information are associated is stored in the HDD 207c of the IoT information management device 207. Keep it (see FIG. 8).

As shown in FIG. 20, when the CPU 105a of the IoT management terminal 205 determines that the initial communication setting program has been activated (S2001), it activates the camera unit 105i (S2003) and puts it in a two-dimensional barcode acquisition standby state. When the CPU 105a determines that the two-dimensional barcode has been acquired via the camera unit 105i (S2005), it analyzes the acquired two-dimensional barcode and acquires management destination connection information (S2007). The CPU 105a transmits the initial communication setting request information requesting the acquisition of the initial communication setting information regarding the IoT device 201 to the IoT information management device 207 via the router RT using the management destination connection information (S2009). ..

When the CPU 107a of the IoT information management device 207 acquires the initial communication setting request information from the IoT management terminal 205 (S2011), the CPU 107a acquires the specific information of the IoT device 201 from the initial communication setting request information (S2013). The CPU 107a obtains the initial communication setting information of the IoT device 201 and the state registration destination connection information corresponding to the specific information from the IoT information stored and held in the HDD 207c (S2015), and uses it as the initial communication setting response information. It transmits to the management terminal 105 (S2017).

When the CPU 105a of the IoT management terminal 205 acquires the initial communication setting response information from the IoT information management device 207 (S2021), the initial communication setting information and the state registration destination connection information are acquired from the acquired connection setting information, and the memory is stored. It is stored and held in 205b (S2023). Further, the CPU 105a temporarily stores the current communication setting in the memory 205b as router communication setting information (S2025).

The CPU 105a uses the acquired initial communication setting information to change the setting of the communication circuit 205h (S2027). As a result, the communication settings of the communication circuit 201h of the IoT device 201 and the communication circuit 205h of the IoT management terminal 205 in the wireless LAN are the same, and specifically, the SSID and the encryption key are the same, so the IoT device 201 is the same. A direct connection in the ad hoc mode becomes possible between the IoT management terminal 205 and the IoT management terminal 205. The CPU 105a sets an IP address, which belongs to the same network but is different from the initial IP address of the IoT device 201 included in the acquired initial communication setting information, to the communication circuit 205h as a position on the network.

21, the CPU 105a transmits ad hoc connection request information to the IoT device 201 (S2029).

When the CPU 101a of the IoT device 201 acquires the ad hoc connection request information (S2031), the CPU 101a transmits the ad hoc connection response information to the user terminal 205 (S2033). As a result, the IoT device 201 and the user terminal 205 can communicate with each other.

When the CPU 105a of the IoT management terminal 205 acquires the ad hoc connection response information (S2041), it acquires the router connection setting information and the state registration destination connection information from the memory 205b (S2043). The CPU 105a transmits the acquired router communication setting information and state registration destination connection information to the IoT device 201 as state registration setting information (S2045). The CPU 105a restores the communication setting information of the communication circuit 205h to the original using the router connection setting information (2047). This allows the user terminal 205 to communicate with the external network and the internal network via the router RT.

When the CPU 101a of the IoT device 201 acquires the state registration setting information (S2051), the CPU 101a acquires the router communication setting information and the state registration destination connection information and stores them in the memory 201b (S2053). The CPU 101a uses the router connection setting information to change the communication setting information of the communication circuit 205h (2055). This enables the IoT device 201 to communicate with the external network and the internal network via the router RT.

After that, the CPU 101a executes a state information registration process (see FIG. 11).

As described above, in the information management system 200, it is possible to greatly simplify the complicated work of setting the wireless LAN for connecting the IoT device 201 to the router RT. Conventionally, there is no need to manually enter a number such as SSID described in the device, and as a result, the IoT device 201 automatically connects to the router RT via the IoT management terminal 205 by simply turning on the power. The setting is completed. In addition, the IoT device 201 can store the operation state information in the information storage device 103 via the router RT according to the state information registration process (see FIG. 11) of the first embodiment.

2. Operation State Confirmation Process The operation state confirmation process is the same as the operation state confirmation process (see FIGS. 12 to 14) in the information management device 100. However, the operation state confirmation operator using the operation state confirmation terminal 206 sets the same communication settings as the router RT in the communication circuit 206h of the operation state confirmation terminal 206 in advance so that the operator can connect to the router RT. ..

Here, "http://WWW.yyyyyy.co.jp/?sensorid=0104-5124-2890" functions as operation state confirmation destination connection information, and "?sensorid=0104-5124-2890/pass=1234". Functions as management destination connection information.

For example, the IoT management terminal 405 has a part "http://WWWW" of a part of the management destination connection information that the IoT management terminal 405 has in "?sensorid=0104-5124-2890/pass=1234" shown in the two-dimensional barcode 401m.
