Description

  The present invention relates to a network control device, and more particularly to a network control integrated box for controlling a plurality of endpoint devices having different wireless communication protocols, or the same communication protocol but different standards, directly or indirectly by a mobile terminal.

  In order to satisfy the demand and use of network bandwidth, wireless communication technologies of various standards have been proposed and applied to various life fields. For example, if WCDMA and LTE are used in a mobile communication system and connected to a base station using a mobile phone, an online connection can be made, and convenience for mobile phone users is improved. However, since the transmission distance of communication protocols such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee (registered trademark), Zwave, RFID, EnOcean is short, it is suitable for network connection in a local area. In the WiFi system, a specific area network is constructed, the network in that area is encrypted, and only authorized persons can make an online connection via the area network. Furthermore, the application range of Bluetooth is extremely wide, and wireless earphones, wireless keyboards and mice or data transmission between devices (Device to Device) can all be achieved through Bluetooth. Furthermore, Bluetooth 4.0 has a better power saving mechanism and is expected to be highly developed in the future. In addition, Zigbee (registered trademark), Zwave, and EnOcean can be used for wireless detection and control, for example, power supply control of home appliances, monitoring control for medical purposes, etc. due to the characteristics of low power and low transmission speed. Since the transmission distance of RFID is short, it is applied to electronic fee collection systems, identification, logistics management and the like.

  However, the wireless communication protocols between different standards as described above cannot be directly transmitted or received between different communication devices due to the difference in packet format and operation frequency, so that each user device is different. Without using a conversion device, they cannot communicate with each other. A commercially available conversion device can change a signal for one communication protocol, but cannot receive or transmit a plurality of different communication protocols. If signal transmission between facilities or devices corresponding to a plurality of different communication protocols is performed at the same time, the signal must be changed via the corresponding conversion device. Not only does this take place, but the communication speed may decrease.

  In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a network control integrated box.
