Description

  The present invention relates to a method for directly communicating a portable terminal and a service device (such as an image forming device) that provides a service to a user by short-range wireless communication.

  Conventionally, when a mobile terminal communicates with a service device, the mobile terminal communicates with the service device via a communication network that can be used by the mobile terminal. In some cases, the mobile terminal uses a mobile phone network. In such a case, the communication fee is expensive, and the communication speed is often low.

  In addition, there are mobile terminals that can be connected to the same IP network for service devices connected to the IP (Internet Protocol) network, but in this case, how the mobile terminal connected to the IP network uses the service devices in the network. There is a problem of discovering. In addition, there is a problem that the communication method between the mobile terminal and the service device in the network and the reliability of the communication path vary depending on the environment.

  In order to solve such a problem, it is desirable that the portable terminal and the service device perform one-to-one direct communication instead of using an existing network, if possible. An example is Bluetooth (registered trademark). If Bluetooth is used, communication costs can be reduced because the bandwidth of the existing network is not consumed. In other words, it is possible to reduce the communication bandwidth of a long section by stopping communication through a large-scale system called the Internet and realizing it with only a few tens of centimeters of Bluetooth communication. Moreover, since it is a one-to-one communication, safety | security becomes high.

  However, in order to perform near field communication such as Bluetooth, mutual authentication must be performed between the mobile terminal and the service device.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional technique in which short-distance wireless communication is performed between a mobile terminal permitted to communicate in advance and a service device (printing device).

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of this embodiment.

  A user who wants to receive the service of the image forming apparatus 20 first operates the input unit 21 of the image forming apparatus 20 in front of the user to give an instruction to display or print a QR code. Upon receiving this instruction, the processing unit 23 of the image forming apparatus 20 reads the connection support server access information from the storage unit 26 and displays the QR code as the connection support server access information on the display unit 22 or the image forming mechanism. 27 to print on the print medium.

  Subsequently, the user activates the camera 17 of his / her mobile terminal 10 and photographs the QR code output by the image forming apparatus 20. The processing means 13 of the mobile terminal 10 decodes the QR code acquired via the camera 17, and the apparatus of the image forming apparatus 20 that is the service start URL of the connection support server 30 and the query string of the URL from the QR code. The unique identification information is acquired, and the hyperlink of the URL is displayed on the display unit 12. (S1).

  When the user operates the input unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 and selects the URL displayed on the display unit 12, the processing unit 13 accesses the connection support server 30 through the server communication unit 14 by HTTP communication. At this time, the apparatus unique identification information of the image forming apparatus 20 which is a URL query string is transmitted to the connection support server 30 (S2).

  In the connection support server 30 that has received access to the service start URL from the mobile terminal 10, the local area network communication means 32 or the Internet communication means 33 receives a request from the mobile terminal 10 according to the communication path of the terminal device 10. The processing means 23 that operates the HTTP server receives this request and starts connection support processing.

  First, the processing means 31 of the connection support server 30 compares the apparatus unique identification information of the image forming apparatus 20 received from the portable terminal 10 with the apparatus information of the image forming apparatus stored in the storage means 34, and the apparatus unique identification information. The IP address of the image forming apparatus 20 and the model identification information of the image forming apparatus 20 are read from the entries of the apparatus information that match (S3).

  According to the present embodiment described above, the connection support server 30 generates communication setting information necessary for Bluetooth communication according to the intention of the mobile terminal 10, and the mobile terminal 10 and the service device 20 that perform the Bluetooth communication. And both. For this reason, it is possible to cause the mobile terminal and the service device that do not have the communication settings necessary for communication with each other to perform Bluetooth communication without performing communication settings by the user.

  Further, since the connection support server 30 selects appropriate communication setting information according to the model of the image forming apparatus 20, a common service can be provided to a plurality of different types of image forming apparatuses.

  In addition, since the connection support server 30 transmits not only the communication setting information but also the communication setting program, the mobile terminal 10 and the image forming apparatus 20 are given not only the setting of the communication setting information but also remote control beyond that. be able to.

  In addition, since the connection support server 30 also generates and transmits a PIN code, the user does not need to handle the PIN code and has excellent security performance. Here, since the PIN code is included in the communication setting information, it is desirable that the HTTP communication between the connection support server 30 and the terminal device 10 or the image forming apparatus 20 is encrypted.

  Further, since the user can receive the service of the connection support server 30 simply by photographing the QR code output from the image forming apparatus 20, the user can input the URL of the connection support server 30 and even the identification information of the image forming apparatus 20 to be communicated. There is no need to do.

The kind of apparatus which comprises each means is not ask | required. In the above embodiment, the connection support server is configured to transmit the communication setting program to the mobile terminal and the image forming apparatus. However, only the communication setting information is transmitted without transmitting the communication setting program. The operation of setting information in the main body of the mobile terminal and the image forming apparatus may be realized by executing a program provided in advance in the mobile terminal and the image forming apparatus. In addition, the image forming apparatus is configured to display or print the QR code, but the pre-printed QR code is added to the casing of the image forming apparatus or posted near the installation place of the image forming apparatus. It may be left. In addition, although the connection support server generates the PIN code and adds it to the communication setting information, this operation may be omitted. If there is only one type of service apparatus, for example, the operation of selecting communication setting information according to the model identification information of the image forming apparatus may be omitted.
Further, a billing function may be added to the above embodiment. That is, when the user operates the mobile terminal to connect to the connection support server, the connection support server can acquire the identification information of the mobile terminal.
