Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-157738 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-158350

In recent years, online lessons and telework have become widespread, and it has become essential to have an environment in which students or singles can connect to the Internet.
In such cases, mobile terminals such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones are mainly used, so the function of a wireless LAN access point is required, and the user has to contract with an Internet service provider. A wall-embedded wireless LAN router is widely used because it requires a router function and it is desirable that it is not bulky because the residence for the above-mentioned students or singles is often small.

On the other hand, recently, in business hotels and the like, wireless LAN is installed in each room. In this case, the business hotel usually contracts with the Internet service provider, and the routers are arranged together at the business hotel, so the wireless LAN in each room must be a wireless LAN access point without router function. It doesn't become. Also, in the case of a business hotel, it is desirable that it is not bulky as well, so that a wall-embedded wireless LAN access point is widely used.
Further, even in a single-person residence, for example, a one-room condominium, a one-room condominium equipped with a wireless LAN has recently become widespread, and in this case, a wall-embedded wireless LAN access point is desirable as in a business hotel. In addition, in studio condominiums, etc., when switching from the form of contracting with an internet service provider for each room to the form of contracting with an internet service provider for the entire condominium, or conversely, the form of contracting with an internet service provider for the entire condominium to each room. In some cases, the contract may be switched to a contract with an Internet service provider.

From the above background, there is a demand for a wall-embedded information communication device that can switch between the function of a wireless LAN access point and the function of a wireless LAN router.
In the above information communication device, for example, if the information communication device set as a wireless LAN router is switched to a wireless LAN access point, it will not function at all. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress malfunction due to erroneous mode switching. be.
In particular, when an information communication device is installed in a business hotel, it is expected to be used by an unspecified number of people, so it is necessary to take more reliable measures to prevent malfunctions.

In the information and communication unit described in Patent Document 1, the first connection portion is always connected to the WAN, and therefore, it is considered that the information and communication unit described in Patent Document 1 does not have the function of the wireless LAN access point.
Further, in the information and communication unit described in Patent Document 2, it is described that erroneous operation of the power supply operation unit is suppressed, but it is described that "a modular adapter 20 for WAN is provided". Therefore, Patent Document 2 It is considered that the information communication unit described in 1 does not have the function of the wireless LAN access point. Of course, there is no description about suppressing erroneous operation of the mode changeover switch.

A main object of the present invention is to switch between a wireless LAN router mode and a wireless LAN access point mode, and in an information communication device installed with at least a part embedded in a wall, malfunction due to an erroneous operation of a mode changeover switch. The purpose is to provide an information communication device that can be suppressed.

(1)
An information communication device according to one aspect includes a wireless LAN circuit, a network circuit, and a power supply circuit, and is an information communication device installed by burying at least a part of it in a wall. A mode changeover switch for switching between router mode and wireless LAN access point mode is provided, and the mode changeover switch is read when the power of the information communication device is switched from off to on, and the information communication device is wireless. Set to LAN router mode or wireless LAN access point mode.

In this case, even if the mode selector switch is switched by mistake, the mode will not switch between the wireless LAN router mode and the wireless LAN access point mode unless the power switch is turned off and then turned on. By returning the mode changeover switch to the original state when the erroneous operation is noticed, the function as a wireless LAN router or a wireless LAN access point will not be impaired.

In particular, in the case of an information communication device embedded in a wall, the line on the WAN side is buried in the wall, so that the network setting is often performed by a wireless LAN slave unit (terminal such as a PC). Therefore, when the wireless LAN mode switching operation is performed on the setting screen of a browser or the like, if the mode switching setting is incorrect, the wireless communication may be disconnected and the setting screen may not be opened and recovery may not be possible. .. On the other hand, in the information communication device that follows one aspect, the wireless LAN mode switching operation is performed by operating the physical switch, so even if the mode switching setting is mistaken and the wireless communication is disconnected, etc. Wireless communication can be easily restored by operating the mode selector switch to return it to its original state.

(2)
The information communication device according to the second invention is an information communication device according to one aspect, in which the information communication device has a front cover and a metal housing, and the front cover has a hat shape, and has a top surface and a top surface. A first side surface formed from a surface, a second side surface facing the first side surface, and a hat-shaped brim, a third surface connected to the first side surface and a fourth side surface connected to the second side surface. It has a surface, the power switch may be arranged on the top surface, and the mode changeover switch may be arranged on the first side surface or the second side surface.

In this case, because the mode selector switch is located on the first or second side of the front cover, which is unlikely to come into contact with other parts of the body, rather than on the top surface of the front cover. It is possible to suppress erroneous operation of the mode changeover switch due to careless contact.
Further, since the power switch is arranged on the top surface and the mode changeover switch is arranged on the first side surface or the second side surface, the power supply switch and the mode changeover switch are not erroneously operated at the same time due to careless contact. By returning the mode switch to the original state when the erroneous operation is noticed, it is possible to prevent the failure of the function as a wireless LAN router or a wireless LAN access point.
Even if the power is turned off due to an erroneous operation of the power switch, the information communication device of the present invention can restore the network settings by turning the power on again.

(3)
The information communication device according to the third invention is an information communication device according to one aspect, in which the information communication device has a front cover and a metal housing, a power switch is arranged on the top surface of the front cover, and a mode changeover switch is provided. May be placed on the back of an information communication device embedded in a wall.

In this case, there is no possibility of erroneous operation of the mode changeover switch by the user. However, switching between the wireless LAN access point mode and the wireless LAN router mode after the installation of the information communication device requires construction by a qualified person.
However, for example, in the case of a wireless LAN in each room of a business hotel, it operates in the wireless LAN access point mode, and there is almost no possibility of switching this to the wireless LAN router mode, and in the case of a business hotel, an unspecified number of people. In the information communication device installed in each room of the business hotel, the mode changeover switch should be placed on the back of the information communication device embedded in the wall because it is used by the guest.

(4)
The information communication device according to the fourth invention is an information communication device according to one aspect, in which the information communication device has a front cover and a metal housing, and the front cover has a hat shape, and has a top surface and a top surface. A first side surface formed from, a second side surface facing the first side surface, a third surface composed of a hat-shaped brim and continuously connected to the first side surface, and a second side surface composed of a hat-shaped brim. The mode changeover switch is arranged on the 3rd or 4th surface, and the 3rd and 4th surfaces are the case where the information communication device is installed on the wall. It may be covered with a decorative cover.

In this case, since the third surface and the fourth surface are covered with the decorative cover and it is necessary to remove the decorative cover in order to operate the mode changeover switch, it is possible to suppress an erroneous operation of the mode changeover switch.

(5)
The information communication device according to the fifth invention is the information communication device according to the fourth aspect from the first aspect, in which the power of the information communication device is switched from off to on, and the mode changeover switch is set from the previous power off. If it is the same as when the power is switched on, the setting of the information communication device when the power is switched from on to off may be applied and started.

When the power is turned off, the information communication device is terminated with the setting information at that time stored (by a non-volatile memory or the like). After that, when the power of the information communication device is switched from off to on, the information communication device determines whether or not the setting of the mode changeover switch is the same as when the power was switched from off to on last time. When they are the same (when the mode changeover switch is not operated in particular), the setting information saved at the time of the previous power off is read and started.
As a result, when the mode changeover switch is not operated and only the power switch is erroneously operated, the information communication device can be started while the setting information of the communicable state is maintained. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a failure of wireless communication due to an erroneous operation of the power switch.

The power supply circuit 520.
If the WAN or LAN to which the WAN connection terminal 740 is connected is not POE compatible, connect the AC power supply wiring (not shown) and connect the power supply circuit 520 of the information communication device 1000 to the power supply circuit 520 corresponding to the AC power supply. By doing so, the information communication device 1000 can be operated in the same manner.
Although not shown in FIG. 3, the information communication device 1000 may include a telephone line connection terminal 710.
Further, at least a part of the storage device 540 is a so-called non-volatile memory in which storage is retained even when the power of the information communication device 1000 is off.

The information communication device 1000 is provided with a power switch 730 and a mode changeover switch 760 for switching the information communication device 1000 between the wireless LAN router mode and the wireless LAN access point mode. When the information communication device 1000 is set to the wireless LAN router mode, the information communication device 1000 becomes a wireless LAN router having router functions such as setting a transfer route and transmitting packets, and the WAN connection terminal 740 is an Internet service provider. It is connected to WAN (Wide Area Network) from.
When the information communication device 1000 is set to the wireless LAN access point mode, the information communication device 1000 becomes a wireless LAN access point, and the WAN connection terminal 740 is connected to a LAN (Local Area Network) from a separately existing router. To.

(Structure of information communication device 1000)
As shown in FIG. 1, the information communication device 1000 has a front surface made of a synthetic resin molded product on a surface facing an open surface of a rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped metal housing 300 having an open surface. The cover 200 is engaged. Further, the open surface of the housing 300 is covered with a back cover 350 (see FIG. 6). That is, the housing 300, the front cover 200, and the back cover 350 constitute the case of the information communication device 1000.
The housing 300 is preferably made of die-cast aluminum or the like having excellent heat transfer properties. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of grooves are formed on the side surface of the housing 300. This is because the outer surface area of the side surface of the housing 300 is increased by forming a plurality of grooves to maximize the heat dissipation effect. The housing 300 is provided with an opening 741 for fixing the WAN connection terminal 740.

The cross-sectional shape of the front cover 200 is a hat shape, from the top surface 210, the first side surface 220 formed from the top surface 210, the second side surface 230 facing the first side surface 220, and the hat-shaped brim. It has a third surface 260 connected to the first side surface 220 and a fourth surface 270 formed of a hat-shaped brim and connected to the second side surface 230, and has a first side surface 220 and a second side surface 230. The first antenna unit 410 and the second antenna unit 420, in which the wireless LAN antenna 400 is arranged with a gap on both outer sides of the above, are erected on the third surface 260 and the fourth surface 270, respectively.
Further, on the top surface 210 of the front cover 200, an opening 721 for fixing the LAN connection terminal 720, an opening 711 for connecting the telephone line connection terminal 710, a power switch 730, and an LED 750 indicating a power supply and an operation mode are provided. Is provided. In the information communication device 1000, when the telephone line connection terminal 710 is unnecessary, the opening 711 is also unnecessary. Further, a mode changeover switch 760 is provided on the first side surface 220 or the second side surface 230 of the front cover 200. The power switch 730 and the mode changeover switch 760 are preferably slide-type switches in order to suppress erroneous operation due to careless contact by the user.
In the first embodiment, the housing 300 is embedded in the wall of the building and installed, and the front cover 200 and the wireless LAN antenna 400 are installed so as to project to the indoor side of the building. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the decorative cover 900 is provided so as to cover the entire wall buried hole and the third surface 260 and the fourth surface of the front cover 200. Further, the mode changeover switch 760 is arranged in a portion exposed to the indoor side from the decorative cover 900 on the first side surface 220 of the front cover 200.

FIG. 4A shows the information communication device 1000 and the network around it when the information communication device 1000 is used in the wireless LAN router mode, and FIG. 4B shows the information communication device 1000 in the wireless LAN access point mode. The information communication device 1000 and the network around it when used are shown.
In FIGS. 4A and 4B, 600 is the Internet, 610 is an ISP (Internet Service Provider) router, 620 is a WAN (Wide Area Network), and 630 is a mobile terminal such as a laptop computer, tablet, or smartphone. .. Further, 640 in FIG. 4B is a CE (Customer Edge) router, and 650 is a LAN (Local Area Network) connected to the CE router.

When the information communication device 1000 is used in the wireless LAN router mode, the WAN connection terminal 740 of each information communication device 1000 is connected to a separate WAN 620, and the WAN 620 is connected to the ISP router 610, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary to make a contract with an ISP for each information communication device 1000 and acquire a WAN IP address (wide area network IP address).
On the other hand, when the information communication device 1000 is used in the wireless LAN access point mode, the WAN connection terminal 740 of each information communication device 1000 is connected to the LAN 650 connected to the CE router 640, and the WAN side of the CE router 640 is WAN 620. The WAN 620 is connected to the ISP router 610. Therefore, since the plurality of information communication devices 1000 are connected to the ISP router 610 via one CE router 640, each information communication device 1000 assigns a LAN IP address (local area network IP address) from the CE router 640. Therefore, it is not necessary to make a contract with ISP for each information communication device 1000 and acquire a WAN IP address.
For example, when the information communication device 1000 is installed in each room of a single-person house, the information communication device 1000 is often used in the wireless LAN router mode because the user of each room usually contracts with the ISP. On the other hand, when the information communication device 1000 is installed in each room of the business hotel, the information communication device 1000 is usually used in the wireless LAN access point mode because the business hotel contracts with the ISP and the CE router 640 is separately installed. Will be done.
The information communication device 1000 of the present invention can be used by switching between two modes, a wireless LAN router mode and a wireless LAN access point mode.

A network setting method of the information communication device 1000 including switching between the wireless LAN router mode and the wireless LAN access point mode will be described with reference to the schematic flowchart of FIG.
First, when the power of the information communication device 1000 is turned on or the reset button is pressed (if there is a reset button), the process of setting the network of the information communication device 1000 is started (step S1).
The control circuit 530 confirms whether the mode changeover switch 760 is in the router mode or the access point mode (steps S2-S3).
When the mode changeover switch 760 is in the router mode, the control circuit 530 reads the network settings in the router mode from the storage device 540, sets the network circuit 510 in the router mode, and sets the necessary settings for the wireless LAN circuit 500. (Step S4).
When the mode changeover switch 760 is in the access point mode, the control circuit 530 reads the network setting in the access point mode from the storage device 540, sets the network circuit 510 in the access point mode, and is required for the wireless LAN circuit 500. Settings are made (step S5).

After the above initial setting is completed, the information communication device 1000 starts operating as a wireless LAN router or a wireless LAN access point.
If there is an instruction to change the network setting of the information communication device 1000 via the network using a wireless LAN slave unit (terminal) or the like, the control circuit 530 changes the network setting (steps S6-S7).
If there is a request for data communication from the WAN connection terminal 740 side to the wireless LAN side or the LAN connection terminal 720 side, or from the wireless LAN side or the LAN connection terminal 720 side to the WAN connection terminal 740 side, the network circuit 510 And the wireless LAN circuit 500 performs data communication (steps S8-S9).
When the power switch 730 is detected to be turned off, the control circuit 530 saves the network settings at that time in the storage device 540 and then performs the power off operation. If the power switch 730 is not turned off, the network setting is changed or data communication is continued (steps S10-S12).

(Effect of preventing malfunction due to erroneous operation of mode changeover switch)
In the information communication device 1000 of the first embodiment, the malfunction due to the erroneous operation of the mode changeover switch is prevented as follows.
First, in the information communication device 1000, as can be seen from the flowchart of FIG. 5, the state of the mode changeover switch 760 is referred to only when the power is turned on (step S2). Therefore, even if the mode changeover switch 760 is switched due to careless contact by the user or the like, a malfunction due to an erroneous operation of the mode changeover switch 760 does not occur until the next power is turned on. Further, malfunction can be prevented by checking the state of the mode changeover switch 760 when the power is turned on and correcting the state of the mode changeover switch 760 if the state is incorrect.

Next, the mode changeover switch 760 is arranged on the first side surface 220 or the second side surface 230 of the hat-shaped front cover 200, and even if the user carelessly contacts the information communication device 1000, the mode changeover switch 760 It is unlikely that the mode changeover switch 760 will switch the mode by contacting. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an erroneous operation of the mode changeover switch 760.
Third, the mode selector switch 760 is located on the first side surface 220 or the second side surface 230 of the hat-shaped front cover 200, while the power switch 730 is located on the top surface 210 of the front cover 200. There is. That is, the surfaces on which the switches are arranged are different. Therefore, even if the power switch 730 or the mode changeover switch 760 is erroneously operated, there is almost no possibility that the power switch 730 and the mode changeover switch 760 are erroneously operated at the same time or continuously, and the mode changeover switch 760 is used. Even if an erroneous operation is performed, the erroneous operation will not occur if the setting of the mode changeover switch 760 is corrected by the time the power is turned on next time.
If the power switch 730 is turned off by an erroneous operation, the information communication device 1000 is turned off. However, as described in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the network setting information at that time is stored in the storage device 540 when the power is turned off (step S11), and is stored in the storage device 540 when the power is turned on next time. Since the network setting information is read and set (step S4 or S5), even if the power switch 730 is turned off by an erroneous operation, it usually does not cause a big problem.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view showing an external shape of the information communication device 1000 of the second embodiment when viewed from the back side.
The external shape of the information communication device 1000 of the second embodiment is the information that the mode changeover switch 760 arranged on the first side surface 220 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is embedded in the wall as shown in FIG. It is the same as the information communication device 1000 of the first embodiment except that it is arranged on the back surface of the communication device 1000. Further, the schematic block diagram of FIG. 3 and the schematic flowchart of FIG. 5 are the same as those of the first embodiment.
In this case, since the setting of the mode changeover switch 760 can be changed only at the time of installation work of the information communication device 1000, there is no possibility that the user inadvertently operates the mode changeover switch 760.
On the contrary, in the information communication device 1000 of the second embodiment, the setting of the mode changeover switch 760 cannot be changed unless the installed information communication device 1000 is once removed. That is, for example, when the information communication device 1000 is installed in each room of a business hotel, it is confirmed that the information communication device 1000 in each room is used in the wireless LAN access point mode, and the wireless LAN router mode is set. Since it cannot be switched, it is preferable to use the information communication device 1000 of the second embodiment.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing an external shape of the information communication device 1000 according to the third embodiment.
In the external shape of the information communication device 1000 of the third embodiment, the mode changeover switch 760 arranged on the first side surface 220 of FIGS. 1 and 2 is arranged on the third surface 260 as shown in FIG. 7. It is the same as the information communication device 1000 of the first embodiment except that the information communication device 1000 is used. Further, the schematic block diagram of FIG. 3 and the schematic flowchart of FIG. 5 are the same as those of the first embodiment. Although the mode changeover switch 760 is arranged on the third surface 260, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mode changeover switch 760 may be arranged on the fourth surface 270.
In this case, in the state where the information communication device 1000 is installed on the wall, the third surface 260 and the fourth surface 270 of the front cover 200 in which the mode changeover switch 760 is arranged are covered with the decorative cover 900. There is no possibility that the user inadvertently operates the mode changeover switch 760.
