Description

The present invention relates to a technique for associating an identification information of a wireless device with information about a position where the wireless device is installed by imaging the installed wireless device.

For example, when lighting devices individually equipped with wireless devices are arranged in various places such as the ceiling in a room and each of the arranged lighting devices is to be independently operated wirelessly, the operating devices are used so as to be distinguishable from each other. It is necessary to associate each switch that can be operated with the lighting device to be operated. In such an association, for example, an installer, an operator, or the like manually drives the wireless devices of the lighting device one by one (while one is driving, the other wireless device is not driven), and the driving radio is driven. The identification information that can be used for wireless control of the device is obtained, and the configuration work is performed so that it is used in conjunction with the switch of the operating device. At this time, the positional relationship between the mutually distinguishable switch and the lighting device provided with a wireless device such as a driven ceiling is maintained. Then, it becomes possible to know which switch should be pressed when driving the lighting device at which position.

For such an association, the time required for the work does not matter if there are only a few lighting devices installed, but the more lighting devices installed, the longer the time required for the work, and the more human resources The problem is that the association is mistaken due to a mistake.

In order to solve such a problem, Patent Document 1 is the same as a plurality of lighting devices connected by a network line and individually assigned a network address which is a unique identification number, and a form in which the lighting devices are arranged. A device setting method for associating each switch in a panel-type switch controller in which a plurality of switches are arranged according to an arrangement form is disclosed. In this prior art, a technology is described in which lighting devices are turned on or off one by one using the network address assigned to the lighting device, and the network address is associated with a switch at a position corresponding to the lighting device that is turned on or off. It seems that it has been done.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-243749

In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, although the purpose is to obtain the correspondence between the identifiable switch and the luminaire, it is necessary to associate the identifiable fixed IP address with the luminaire in advance. At first glance, it seems that work efficiency has improved, but the time and effort of assigning a fixed IP address and the time and effort of manually associating switches and lighting equipment that can be identified one by one are the same, and the work is never done.

Further, a software product used to execute such software on a computer, and a recording medium on which the product is fixed are naturally included in the technical scope of each embodiment described in the present specification (the present specification). The same is true throughout.
<Embodiment 1 Arrangement Step>

The “arrangement step” S0201 includes a device-specific identification information that is device identification information that can be used in non-network communication, and has a mark that can be distinguished from the background by communication using the device-specific identification information. This is a step of arranging the imaging device for imaging within a range in which a plurality of wireless devices can be imaged in a list from a predetermined position.

The "wireless device" is a device having a function of performing wireless communication identified by the device-specific identification information, and is not limited to what other functions it has. Lighting devices, TVs, air conditioners, microwave ovens, stoves, refrigerators, desks, chairs, computers, displays, washing machines, dishwashers, dish dryers, vacuum cleaners, gas water heaters, water heaters, grills, calculators, shelves, various sensors , Packing boxes, trays, plates, lockers for collective shoe lockers, closets, lockers for coin lockers, wash basins, bath water heaters, street lights, windows for houses, buildings, trains, doors, telegraph pillars, telegraph pillars It may be an accessory device, a water tap, a factory valve, each device placed in the factory, and the like. Further, the plurality of wireless devices may transfer information using device-specific identification information, and may perform routing, copying, and the like. For example, when receiving information that is not addressed to itself, the information may be copied or routed to nearby wireless devices.

Further, the wireless device is a terminal that is used as a node of a system that relays data between nodes, and has a transmission unit that transmits data to the next adjacent terminal, and is a transmission unit. Is a transmission data acquisition means for acquiring data to be transmitted to the next terminal, a first transmission buffer and a second transmission buffer for accumulating data to be transmitted, and data storage in the first transmission buffer and the second transmission buffer. The data storage processing means that alternately performs the processing without interruption and the data stored in the second transmission buffer are immediately after the completion of the data storage processing in the second transmission buffer, and the data storage processing in the first transmission buffer is performed. Data that is transmitted before and after the start and the data stored in the first transmission buffer is transmitted immediately after the end of the data storage process in the first transmission buffer and before and after the start of the data storage process in the second transmission buffer. It may be a wireless device including a transmission processing means.

When the wireless device receives information that is not addressed to itself, it is preferable that the wireless device has a predetermined information transmission destination and is configured to form an information passage in the entire wireless device group. The purpose of this wireless device system construction method and the wireless device system construction device described later is to construct a system that allows the wireless device to perform various tasks remotely using the wireless device. Is preferable because it can reach a wireless device located at a position where radio waves do not directly reach from the source of the remote signal. Then, the information of such a network constructed by the wireless device (for example, the setting of the device-specific identification information of the wireless device to be an adjacent node: the setting of the routing table) is set by using the remote controller of the present invention or the like. Is also possible.

"Device-specific identification information, which is device identification information that can be used in non-network communication," typically indicates a Mac address (MAC address), but is information that can uniquely identify a wireless device. Other identification information may be used as long as it can be used as information indicating a transmission destination or a transmission source in communication. For example, Public Address (this is an IEEE 802 compliant address and a fixed address written for each device at the time of product manufacturing), Random Address (terminal address automatically generated by each terminal (device) in consideration of security. Random number It may be something that does not need to be written in the manufacturing process of the equipment used). The device-specific identification information, which is the device identification information that can be used in this non-network communication, is assigned at the manufacturing stage of the device at the manufacturing stage and stored in the device so that it can be used, or is automatically generated by the device. It is not allocated by the user after purchase.

The limitation with the device identification information that can be used in non-network communication is that the device-specific identification information in the present invention does not include the IP address used for device identification in the network by IP (Internet Protocol). Means. A mesh network that enables communication between nodes regardless of the IP protocol or IP network, a network using a data communication system using a low-power radio station, a network using short-range wireless communication, infrared optical communication, and visible light communication. It suffices if the device identification information that can be used in the network, etc., can communicate between nodes. Further, the network topology is not particularly limited, and may be any of tree type, star type, mesh type, etc., and may be a mixture thereof.

The "mark" is configured to be distinguishable from the background, and the main body of this identification is the imaging device. When the image pickup device uses a visible light receiving element, the wireless device is provided with a light source, and the light source can be made recognizable from the background by shining or blinking or changing the light color. Further, the wireless device is provided with a movable member (along with a drive source such as a motor or an actuator), and the movable member can be moved to make it identifiable. Further, when the imaging device replaces the visible light receiving element or includes an infrared light receiving element together with the visible light receiving element, the heat generating source may be used as a mark. Red by turning on the infrared light source, heating the heat generation source (Peltier element, etc.), driving the heat absorption element (Peltier element), or stopping the heat generation source to lower the temperature relatively. It can be distinguished from the background by the external light receiving element. The fact that the mark can be composed of a light source and that it is composed of a movable member is the same for the second and subsequent embodiments described later.

"Capturing in a list" does not mean only capturing all of the wireless devices to be operated or the like. The purpose of the present invention is to associate the imaged position information of the wireless device with the device-specific identification information of the wireless information, and in order to perform this efficiently, it is preferable to take an image so that more wireless devices are captured. , Imaging in such a mode is expressed as "imaging in a list". The imaging in the list is not limited to that of one imaging device. This includes a configuration in which a plurality of image pickup devices are used to image a wide range, or a plurality of image pickup devices are used to image the same area from a plurality of angles. It is also possible to configure the images captured by a plurality of imaging devices to be combined and displayed on one display. The image pickup device and the display do not necessarily have to be integrated, and may be separate bodies.

Then, in this step, as described above, the imaging device is arranged at a predetermined position where a plurality of wireless devices can be imaged in a list. When associating the position information of all wireless devices with the device-specific identification information, if all the wireless devices do not fit in one captured image, the association is once performed within the range that fits, and the image pickup device is moved. The image pickup device may be arranged at a position where the wireless device that cannot be accommodated can be accommodated, and the image pickup may be performed in the same manner. The arrangement may be made by a human hand or by a holding means such as a stand.

The imaging device may be a camera exclusively for imaging, or may be an information processing terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal having an imaging function. Further, an imaging device provided with a wide-angle lens may be used so that many wireless devices can be imaged in a list, or an imaging device capable of capturing a 360-degree panoramic image may be used.
<Embodiment 1 Identifiable Step>

The “identification enablement step” S0202 sets the mark of each wireless device arranged using the device-specific identification information within the range that can be imaged in the list so that the mark can be individually identified from the background in the captured image. It's a step. In order to make it identifiable, it is performed by outputting one command at a time, such as lighting, which is common to wireless devices, with the device-specific identification information as a destination.

In this step, a plurality of wireless devices are imaged by the image pickup device arranged in the arrangement step. The imaging may be an imaging of a still image or an imaging as a moving image. Then, the mark of the wireless device is made identifiable in the image captured in any of the modes as follows. When the state is identifiable in a still image, the mark should be identifiable when the image is taken. In addition, when the state is identifiable in the moving image, the mark is set to be identifiable within the time during which the image is being captured.

In order to make the mark identifiable, at least the device-specific identification information of the wireless device existing within the range that can be imaged in the list is acquired. Alternatively, it may be acquired and held in advance. Further, the device-specific identification information of the wireless device existing outside the range that can be imaged in the list may also be acquired or retained. Even if a command is issued to make a wireless device that is out of the range that can be imaged in the list, it cannot be imaged because it is out of the range, but it will be listed in other times. Since the processing may be performed within the range in which the image can be taken, if the identifiable information cannot be obtained within a predetermined time, the command may be configured to be transmitted again from the next time onward as unprocessed.

As one of the modes of acquiring the device-specific identification information, there is a mode of acquiring the device-specific identification number included in the beacon output by each wireless device. The beacon that the wireless device periodically outputs contains its own device-specific identification information such as the Mac address. By receiving this beacon, the device-specific identification information can be acquired. Then, by receiving the beacon output by each wireless device, the device-specific identification information of each wireless device can be collected.

As described above, prior to the above-mentioned identification enablement step, the step of collecting the device-specific identification information included in the beacon output by each wireless device is referred to as a "passive device-specific identification information collection step" in the present embodiment. It may be possessed by the method for constructing a wireless device system according to the above.

Further, as another aspect of acquiring the device-specific identification information, an output command of the device-specific identification information is broadcast to all wireless devices, and the device-specific identification information output from each wireless device is collected based on the output command. There is a mode to do.

In this way, prior to the above-mentioned identification enablement step, the step of broadcasting the device-specific identification information output command to all wireless devices is referred to as a "broadcast step", and the broadcast device-specific identification information output command is used. The step of collecting the device-specific identification information output from each wireless device based on this may be referred to as an "active device-specific identification information collection step", and the wireless device system construction method according to the present embodiment may have those steps. ..

It should be noted that the acquired device-specific identification information has been retained in the device-specific identification information position information holding step for all the planned wireless devices by the broadcast step and the active device-specific identification information collection step. However, if it still remains, it is possible that the device-specific identification information of the adjacent room or the radio device on another floor has been acquired through a wall or the like, so it is preferable to configure the device so that it is deleted once. It is still preferable to configure the device so that a series of processes can be completed when there are no unprocessed device-specific identification information due to deletion or the like. This is because a series of processing progress can be left as a data processing history.

Then, an instruction is output for the wireless device identified by the acquired or held device-specific identification information so that the mark of the wireless device can be individually identified from the background in the captured image. .. The output of this command is basically, but is not limited to, one by one from the plurality of device-specific identification information to be acquired or held. When outputting using a plurality of device-specific identification information, if the wireless devices identified by the device-specific identification information can identify each wireless device at the same time, each of the plurality of wireless devices can be identified. Can be individually distinguished from the background.

The identifiable state of the mark is, for example, in the case of a still image, the light source as a mark of another wireless device is in a non-light emitting state, and only the light source of the wireless device that has received the command emits light. In the case of a moving image, the light source of the other wireless device is in the non-light emitting state or the light emitting state is maintained, and only the light source of the wireless device that received the command is in the blinking state. It is in a state of being. If the blinking cycle can be commanded in association with the device-specific identification information, a moving image is taken so that the commanded flashing cycle can be determined and the position information of the wireless device can be acquired. be able to. In this case, even if a plurality of wireless devices blink at the same time, each of the blinking can be identified, so that the position information of the plurality of wireless devices can be obtained at the same time.

In addition, when a movable member is marked, it can be identified by making the position and posture of the movable member of the wireless device that received the command different from the position and posture of the movable member of the other wireless device in the still image. Can be in a state. Further, in the moving image, only the movable member of the wireless device that has received the command is continuously moved, and the movable member of the other wireless device is kept stationary so that the state can be identified.

The main body that performs steps other than imaging in this step may be an information processing terminal such as a tablet terminal provided with an imaging device that is the main body of imaging, or communicates with the imaging device while being separate from the imaging device. It may be another information processing device (PC, smartphone, tablet terminal, etc.) that can be configured.
<Embodiment 1 Device-specific identification information location information association step>

“Device-specific identification information position information association step” S0203 is a step of associating the device-specific identification information of each wireless device that has been identified with the position information within the range that can be imaged in the list.

The "position information within the range that can be captured by the list" may be the position information within the area captured by the list, or the position information in the captured image, that is, the coordinate position on the display. .. In the former case, the area may be in a three-dimensional space or a two-dimensional surface. When wireless devices are arranged in a plane, for example, lighting devices lined up on the ceiling surface, sensors lined up on the wall surface, ID tags lined up on the shelf surface, and type display devices. May be grasped as a position in a two-dimensional plane. In addition, in the case of various home appliances (air conditioners, lighting fixtures, refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, televisions, range hoods, etc.) that are placed in the home, it is preferable to acquire them as position information in a three-dimensional space.

Further, in the latter case, although it is a coordinate position on the display, the center coordinates (center of gravity coordinates) of the identified image portion are acquired as position information. For example, when the identified light is a blinking light, the center of gravity of the recognized light is obtained, and the position information is acquired as the representative position information of the wireless device. Alternatively, it may be configured to capture the contour of the blinking light and acquire a collection of coordinates within the contour as the position information of the wireless device.

The identification information may be further associated with the associated device-specific identification information and the location information. For example, when the Mac address is used as the device-specific identification information, the Mac address is indicated by a character string such as "6y-mb-jc-9c-82", and the position information is also "(10,10), (15,10). ), (10,5), (15,5) ”and so on. In such a case, since it is difficult for a person to grasp the meaning of such information, the identification information may be further associated separately according to a predetermined artificial rule. For example, a code such as "L1, L2, L3, ..." Is used as the identification number based on the layout of the actual lighting device. By further associating such an artificial identification number, for example, in the operation interface of the lighting device, the artificial identification number is used as a code indicating each lighting device, which makes it easier for the operator to understand.
<Embodiment 1 Device-specific identification information position information holding step>

“Device-specific identification information position information holding step” S0204 holds the associated device-specific identification information and position information. By holding these, it is possible to control each wireless device, create an interface for control (operation, etc.), and the like.
<Effect of Embodiment 1>

According to the wireless device system construction method of the present embodiment, it is possible to easily associate the device-specific identification information unique to the wireless device with the position information of the wireless device identified by the identification information.
