Description

The present invention relates to a device registration device, a device registration method, and a device registration program.

In recent years, due to advances in information and communication technology, devices with communication capabilities have become widely used. For example, a wide variety of devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, routers and network switches, network cameras, network conference devices, various sensors with network functions, and home appliances are used. Here, these devices are collectively referred to as "communication processing devices".

Most communication processing devices communicate with servers in the home, office, or on the Internet, but in general, the server needs to communicate with each of the many communication processing devices separately, and the communication processing device is a user (owned). Persons, users, etc.) are often different. Therefore, it is necessary for the server to correctly identify the communication processing device and limit the access from the server to the information and control capability of each communication processing device, or the access from each communication processing device to the server only to a specific user. .. Therefore, it is necessary for the server to correctly recognize the user corresponding to each communication processing device. The work and process of making this state are referred to as "registration" here.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of registration. As shown in FIG. 17, the user acquires a key list for server access (u91). Then, the user connects the user terminal 94 to the communication processing device 92 (for example, via a serial port) and logs in to the communication processing device 92 (u92). Then, the user sets the key in the communication processing device 92 (u93). Then, the communication processing device 92 accesses the server 93 using the key (u94). The user makes such a setting for all the communication processing devices 92 (u95).

In addition, it is equipped with multiple nodes that send and receive data measured by itself or other nodes to nearby nodes, and a management server that receives and stores data measured by one or more nodes, and changes the node installation and node installation location. There is a system that facilitates. In this system, the node can switch between the installation mode in which the electric field strength can be investigated and the normal use mode in which the display unit is not turned on. Lights in a color or blinking pattern according to the level. Therefore, the operator can construct the system by installing the node in consideration of the electric field strength.

The registration shown in FIG. 17 has a problem that it takes time and effort to set the key. That is, the work of connecting to the communication processing device one by one, logging in, and setting the key becomes a heavy burden on the user when the number of communication processing devices increases.

One aspect of the present invention is to safely and efficiently register a communication processing device.

In one embodiment, the device registration device has a first receiving unit, a first determination unit, and a registration unit. The first receiving unit receives a first device identifier that identifies each of the first number of devices to be registered. The first determination unit selects the first device identifier of the second number among the first device identifiers of the first number received by the first receiving unit, and the selected second number. The transmission instruction of the first device identifier of the above is transmitted. Then, the first determination unit receives the second device identifier that identifies each of the second number of registration target devices in response to the transmission instruction, and the first device identifier of the second number and the said. It is determined whether or not the second device identifiers of the second number are in the same confirmation completion state. The registration unit registers the first number of devices to be registered when it is determined by the first determination unit that the confirmation is completed.

In one aspect, the present invention can safely and efficiently register a communication processing device.

Hereinafter, examples of the device registration device, the device registration method, and the device registration program disclosed in the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that these examples do not limit the disclosed techniques.

First, the configuration of the system according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a system according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the system 1 according to the first embodiment has a plurality of communication processing devices 2, a registration device 3, and a management device 4. The registration device 3 is connected to the plurality of communication processing devices 2 and the management device 4 via the network 2a.

The registration device 3 is a device that registers the communication processing device 2 and enables access to the registered communication processing device 2 or access from the registered communication processing device 2. For example, if the communication processing device 2 is a router, the registration device 3 is a server on the Internet operated by the vendor of the router. The management device 4 is a device that manages the registration of a plurality of communication processing devices 2. The management device 4 is, for example, a tablet PC (Personal Computer).

The communication processing device 2 can authenticate the registration device 3 via the network 2a by automatic setting or manual setting and can communicate safely. That is, from the viewpoint of the communication processing device 2, the registration device 3 of the communication partner is genuine and is not a spoofing of a fake device, and the data on the communication path is not eavesdropped or falsified. An example of a communication means accompanied by such authentication is Transport Layer Security (TLS).

The management device 4 can also authenticate the registration device 3 by means such as TLS and communicate safely, and the user authentication has been completed between the management device 4 and the registration device 3, so that a user ID for identifying the user can be obtained. Remember each one.

The user can operate the management device 4, and can read the QR code (registered trademark) displayed on the label of the communication processing device 2 by using the management device 4.

Next, the key setting using the management device 4 will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining key setting using the management device 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the communication processing device 2 notifies the registration device 3 of the identifier id'of the communication processing device 2 by a trigger such as turning on the power or connecting to the network 2a (u1).

The registration device 3 receives and holds id'from a plurality of communication processing devices 2. Assuming that there are N communication processing devices 2 to be registered, the registration device 3 holds N id'. Then, the registration device 3 randomly selects M (1 ≦ M ≦ N) id'from the received N id', and the LED (Light Emitting Diode) of the communication processing device 2 corresponding to the selected id'. ) Turn on 20a (u2). The registration device 3 may blink instead of turning on the LED 20a.

The installer reads the QR code 20b from the label displaying the identifier of the communication processing device 2 in which the LED 20a is lit by the QR code 20b (u3), and transmits it to the registration device 3 as the identifier id of the communication processing device 2 (u4). The registration device 3 confirms the match between id and id'(u5).

Then, when the registration device 3 confirms the match between id and id'for the communication processing device 2 of M units, it is determined that the installer is physically close to the communication processing device 2, and the installer determines that the communication processing device 2 is physically close to the communication processing device 2. It is determined that the user is a legitimate user of 2. Then, the registration device 3 generates the key k (u6), holds the key inside, and transmits the key to the communication processing device 2 (u7). When the communication processing device 2 holds k inside, the key is set to the communication processing device 2. Alternatively, the communication processing device 2 may generate k and transmit it to the registration device 3, and the registration device 3 may hold k as the user's.

In FIG. 2, the registration device 3 stores k in association with the communication processing device ID which is an identifier of the communication processing device 2. For example, the communication processing device ID "SN123456" and k "pass1" are stored in association with each other.

In addition, in order to randomly select M id'from N id', the registration device 3 communicate processing of one group in which N id'is about to be registered by one installer. It is necessary to be able to identify the identifier of the device 2. If the registration device 3 cannot specify the identifier of one group of communication processing devices 2 to be registered by one installer, it cannot be distinguished from the communication processing device 2 to be registered by another installer. , M id'cannot be properly selected from the group.

Therefore, for example, if the global IP (Internet Protocol) address of the default gateway is the same, the registration device 3 is an identifier of one group of communication processing devices 2 whose id'is being registered by one installer. Is determined to be.

Alternatively, the manufacturing vendor ships the N communication processing devices 2 as one set on the assumption that the same user uses them in the same place, and the registration device 3 is the information of the N communication processing devices 2 from the manufacturing vendor. The identifier of one group of communication processing devices 2 may be specified by acquiring.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a registration sequence according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 3, N = 5 and M = 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the communication processing devices # 1 to the communication processing devices # 5 notify the registration device 3 of id # 1'to id # 5'by a trigger such as turning on the power or connecting to the network 2a. .. Here, the communication processing device # 1 to the communication processing device # 5 are communication processing devices 2. The registration device 3 confirms the source IP address of the message including id', and if the source IP address is the same, determines that the registration device 3 is a group of devices that starts registration of the communication processing devices # 1 to the communication processing device # 5. do.

Then, the management device 4 transmits a registration start message indicating the start of registration to the registration device 3 based on the instruction of the installer (t1). Then, the registration device 3 selects id # 2'from id # 1'to id # 5'and lights the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 2 corresponding to id # 2'(t2).

Then, the installer who sees the lighting of the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 2 reads the QR code 20b of the communication processing device # 2 by using the management device 4. Then, the management device 4 transmits the id # 2 read from the QR code 20b to the registration device 3 (t3). Upon receiving id # 2, the registration device 3 confirms that id # 2 is equal to id # 2'and adds 1 to x. Here, x is a variable indicating the number of confirmed ids and id'equal, and the initial value is 0.

Then, the registration device 3 selects id # 4'from the remaining id'and lights the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 4 corresponding to id # 4'(t4). Then, the installer who sees the lighting of the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 4 reads the QR code 20b of the communication processing device # 4 by using the management device 4. Then, the management device 4 transmits the id # 4 read from the QR code 20b to the registration device 3 (t5). Upon receiving id # 4, the registration device 3 confirms that id # 4 is equal to id # 4', and adds 1 to x to obtain 2.

Then, the registration device 3 selects id # 1'from the remaining id'and lights the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 1 corresponding to id # 1'(t6). Then, the installer who sees the lighting of the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 1 reads the QR code 20b of the communication processing device # 1 by using the management device 4. Then, the management device 4 transmits the id # 1 read from the QR code 20b to the registration device 3 (t7). Upon receiving id # 1, the registration device 3 confirms that id # 1 is equal to id # 1'and adds 1 to x to obtain 3.

Then, since the registration device 3 has confirmed the three ids, it is determined that the installer is a legitimate user of the communication processing device # 1 to the communication processing device # 5, and the communication processing device # 1 to the communication processing device # 5 is determined. Generate a key for each of 5. Then, the registration device 3 holds the generated key internally, transmits it to the communication processing device # 1 to the communication processing device # 5 (t8), and transmits a registration completion message indicating the completion of registration to the management device 4. (T9).

In this way, the registration device 3 can efficiently register the N communication processing devices 2 by having the installer read only the QR code 20b of the communication processing devices 2 of the M units.

Next, the functional configurations of the communication processing device 2, the registration device 3, and the management device 4 will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the functional configurations of the communication processing device 2, the registration device 3, and the management device 4. Since the functional configuration of each communication processing device 2 is the same, FIG. 4 shows only the functional configuration of one communication processing device 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, the communication processing device 2 includes a trigger detection unit 21, a communication transmission / reception unit 22, a display control unit 23, and a setting unit 24. When the trigger detection unit 21 detects that the power of the communication processing device 2 is turned on, the trigger detection unit 21 transmits the communication processing device ID to the registration device 3 via the communication transmission / reception unit 22.

The communication transmission / reception unit 22 communicates with the registration device 3. The communication transmission / reception unit 22 transmits, for example, the communication processing device ID to the registration device 3. Further, the communication transmission / reception unit 22 receives the lighting instruction of the LED 20a and the key from the registration device 3.

The display control unit 23 receives a lighting instruction of the LED 20a from the registration device 3 via the communication transmission / reception unit 22, and lights the LED 20a.

The registration device 3 has a storage unit 30, a communication transmission / reception unit 31, and a registration processing unit 32. The storage unit 30 stores the registration key information, the communication processing device information, and the device group management information. The registered key information is the key information registered for the communication processing device 2. The communication processing device information is information about the communication processing device 2. The device group management information is information used for managing the device group.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of registration key information, communication processing device information, and device group management information. As shown in FIG. 5, the registration key information is information that associates the communication processing device ID with k. For example, k of the communication processing device 2 whose communication processing device ID is "SN123456" is "pass1".

The communication processing device information is information that associates the communication processing device ID with the communication processing device name and the installation location. For example, the name of the communication processing device 2 whose communication processing device ID is "SN123456" is "Camera # 1", and the installation location is "Building A-1".

The device group management information is information that associates the communication processing device ID with the IP address. The IP address is the IP address of the communication processing device 2 associated with the communication processing device ID. For example, the IP address of the communication processing device 2 whose communication processing device ID is "SN123456" is "111.222.0.1". The device group management information is used to manage the communication processing devices 2 having the same IP address as a group of communication processing devices 2 to be registered.

The communication transmission / reception unit 31 communicates with the communication processing device 2 and the management device 4. The communication transmission / reception unit 31 passes the message received from the communication processing device 2 and the management device 4 to the registration processing unit 32, transmits the message to the management device 4 based on the instruction from the registration processing unit 32, and processes the instruction. It is transmitted to the device 2. For example, the communication transmission / reception unit 31 receives the communication processing device ID from the communication processing device 2 and the management device 4 and passes it to the registration processing unit 32. Further, the communication transmission / reception unit 31 transmits a lighting instruction and a key to the communication processing device 2.

The registration processing unit 32 communicates with the communication processing device 2 and the management device 4 via the communication transmission / reception unit 31, and registers the communication processing device 2. The registration processing unit 32 includes a first receiving unit 33, a first determination unit 34, and a key registration unit 35.

The first receiving unit 33 receives communication processing device IDs (id') from each of the N communication processing devices 2, and passes the received N communication processing device IDs to the first determination unit 34. The first receiving unit 33 is an example of the first receiving unit.

The first determination unit 34 selects M communication processing device IDs from the N communication processing device IDs, and instructs the communication processing device 2 corresponding to each of the selected M communication processing device IDs to light the LED 20a. .. Then, the first determination unit 34 receives M communication processing device IDs (ids) from the management device 4, M communication processing device IDs selected, and M communication processing device IDs received from the management device 4. It is determined whether or not they are equal, and if they are equal, N communication processing devices 2 are registered. The first determination unit 34 is an example of the first determination unit.

The first determination unit 34 includes an instruction unit 36, a second reception unit 37, a second determination unit 38, and a third determination unit 39.

The instruction unit 36 randomly selects one communication processing device ID from the N communication processing device IDs, and instructs the communication processing device 2 corresponding to the selected communication processing device ID to turn on the LED 20a. The instruction unit 36 gives a lighting instruction M times while selecting different communication processing device IDs.

The second receiving unit 37 receives the communication processing device ID read from the QR code 20b of the communication processing device 2 in which the LED 20a is turned on based on the instruction from the instruction unit 36 from the management device 4, and receives the communication processing device. The ID is passed to the second determination unit 38. The second receiving unit 37 receives M different communication processing device IDs from the management device 4.

The second determination unit 38 receives the communication processing device ID selected by the instruction unit 36 from the instruction unit 36, and receives the communication processing device ID received by the second receiving unit 37 from the second receiving unit 37. Then, the second determination unit 38 determines whether or not the communication processing device ID selected by the instruction unit 36 and the communication processing device ID received by the second receiving unit 37 are equal to each other.

The third determination unit 39 determines whether or not the confirmation is completed. Here, the confirmation completed state is a state in which it is confirmed for the M communication processing devices 2 that the communication processing device ID selected by the instruction unit 36 and the communication processing device ID received by the second receiving unit 37 are equal to each other. Then, when the third determination unit 39 determines that the confirmation of the M units has not been completed, the instruction unit 36 selects a new communication processing device ID and communicates with the selected communication processing device ID. Instructs the transmission of the lighting instruction of the LED 20a of the processing device 2.

The key registration unit 35 generates a key in association with each of the N communication processing device IDs received by the first receiving unit 33, and registers N pairs of the communication processing device ID and the key in the registration key information. .. Further, the key registration unit 35 transmits the generated N keys to the corresponding communication processing device 2. The key registration unit 35 is an example of the registration unit.

The management device 4 includes a reading unit 41, a notification unit 42, a communication transmission / reception unit 43, and a display control unit 44. The reading unit 41 reads the communication processing device ID by reading the QR code 20b and passes it to the notification unit 42.

The notification unit 42 transmits the communication processing device ID passed from the reading unit 41 to the registration device 3 via the communication transmission / reception unit 43. Further, the notification unit 42 transmits a registration start message to the registration device 3 via the communication transmission / reception unit 43 based on the instruction of the installer.

The communication transmission / reception unit 43 communicates with the registration device 3. The communication transmission / reception unit 43 transmits, for example, a communication processing device ID and a registration start message to the registration device 3, and receives a registration completion message from the registration device 3.

The display control unit 44 receives the message from the registration device 3 via the communication transmission / reception unit 43, and displays the message on the display unit. For example, the display control unit 44 receives and displays the registration completion message via the communication transmission / reception unit 43.

Next, the flow of processing by the registration device 3 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing by the registration device 3 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the registration device 3 receives the message (step S1) and determines what message it is (step S2).

Then, in the case of a message from the communication processing device 2, the registration device 3 registers the id'and the IP address in the device group management information (step S3). Further, in the case of the registration start message from the management device 4, the registration device 3 randomly selects one (id _rnd ') from the N id'in the device group management information (step S4). ). Then, the registration device 3 instructs the communication processing device 2 corresponding to the selected id _rnd'to turn on the LED 20a (step S5).

Further, in the case of another message from the management device 4, since it is a message for transmitting an id, the registration device 3 determines whether or not the id is equal to the id _rnd '(step S6), and the id _rnd . If'and id are equal, x is incremented (step S7).

Then, the registration device 3 determines whether or not x and M are equal (step S8), and if x and M are not equal, the process proceeds to step S4. However, the registration device 3 selects id _{rnd'from id'that} has not been selected in step S4. On the other hand, when x and M are equal, the registration device 3 generates N keys and registers them in the registration key information, and also transmits each key to the N communication processing devices 2 (step S9). A registration completion message is transmitted to the management device 4 (step S10).

Further, in step S6, if id _rnd'and id are not equal, the registration device 3 discards the message (step S11).

In this way, the registration device 3 registers N communication processing devices 2 when an id equal to M randomly selected ids' among the N ids are sent from the management device 4. Therefore, the registration device 3 can efficiently register N communication processing devices 2 simply by having the management device 4 read the M QR codes 20b.

As described above, in the first embodiment, the first receiving unit 33 receives id'from N communication processing devices 2. Then, the instruction unit 36 randomly selects one id _{rnd'from N id's, and transmits a lighting instruction of the LED 20a to the communication processing device 2 corresponding to the id rnd '} . Then, the management device 4 reads the QR code 20b from the communication processing device 2 in which the LED 20a is lit by the operation of the installer, and transmits the id read from the QR code 20b. Then, when the second receiving unit 37 receives the id, the second determining unit 38 determines whether or not the id'selected by the indicating unit 36 and the id are equal to each other. Then, when the lighting instruction by the instruction unit 36, the reception of the id by the second reception unit 37, and the matching confirmation of id'and id by the second determination unit 38 are repeated M times, the third determination unit 39 communicates with M units. It is determined that the processing device 2 is in the confirmation completion state in which id'and id are equal. Then, when the third determination unit 39 determines that the confirmation is completed, the key registration unit 35 registers the N communication processing devices 2.

Therefore, the installer can register the N communication processing devices 2 only by reading the QR code 20b of the M communication processing devices 2, and can efficiently register the communication processing devices 2. Further, since the registration device 3 lights the LED 20a of the communication processing device 2 to instruct the transmission of the communication processing device ID, the existence of the communication processing device 2 can be confirmed, and the communication processing device 2 can be safely registered. be able to.

By the way, in the first embodiment, the case where the lighting instruction of the LED 20a is given one by one has been described, but the registration device 3 may give the lighting instruction of the LED 20a by p units less than M units. Therefore, in the second embodiment, a case where the registration device 3 gives a lighting instruction of the LED 20a by p units will be described.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a registration sequence according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 7, N = 5, M = 4, and p = 2.

The registration device 3 confirms the source IP address of the message including id', and if the source IP address is the same, determines that the device group starts registration.

Then, the management device 4 transmits a registration start message to the registration device 3 based on the instruction of the installer (t11). Then, the registration device 3 selects id # 2'and id # 4'from id # 1'to id # 5', and communicates with the communication processing device # 2 corresponding to id # 2'and id # 4', respectively. The LED 20a of the processing device # 4 is turned on (t12, t13).

Then, the installer who sees the lighting of the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 2 and the communication processing device # 4 reads the QR code 20b of the communication processing device # 2 and the communication processing device # 4 by using the management device 4. Then, the management device 4 transmits id # 2 and id # 4 read from the QR code 20b to the registration device 3 (t14, t15). Upon receiving id # 2 and id # 4, the registration device 3 confirms that id # 2 is equal to id # 2'and id # 4 is equal to id # 4', and adds 1 to x.

Then, the registration device 3 selects id # 1'and id # 5'from the remaining id', and the communication processing device # 1 and the communication processing device # 5 corresponding to id # 1'and id # 5', respectively. The LED 20a is turned on (t16, t17). Then, the installer who sees the lighting of the LED 20a of the communication processing device # 1 and the communication processing device # 5 reads the QR code 20b of the communication processing device # 1 and the communication processing device # 5 by using the management device 4. Then, the management device 4 transmits id # 1 and id # 5 read from the QR code 20b to the registration device 3 (t18, t19). Upon receiving id # 1 and id # 5, the registration device 3 confirms that id # 1 is equal to id # 1'and id # 5 is equal to id # 5', and adds 1 to x. Let it be 2.

Then, since the registration device 3 has confirmed the four ids, it is determined that the installer is a legitimate user of the communication processing device # 1 to the communication processing device # 5, and the communication processing device # 1 to the communication processing device # 5 is determined. Generate a key for each of 5. Then, the registration device 3 holds the generated key internally, transmits it to the communication processing devices # 1 to the communication processing device # 5 (t20), and transmits a registration completion message indicating the completion of registration to the management device 4. (T21).

In this way, the registration device 3 can efficiently read the QR code 20b of the communication processing device 2 of M units by having the installer read the QR code 20b of the communication processing device 2 by p units. ..

The functional configuration of the registration device 3 according to the second embodiment is the same as the functional configuration shown in FIG. However, the instruction unit 36 randomly selects p communication processing device IDs from the N communication processing device IDs, and lights the LED 20a on the communication processing device 2 corresponding to each of the selected p communication processing device IDs. Instruct. Further, the instruction unit 36 gives a lighting instruction (M / p) times while selecting a different communication processing device ID.

Further, the second receiving unit 37 obtains p communication processing device IDs read from the QR code 20b of the p communication processing device 2 in which the LED 20a is turned on based on the instruction from the indicating unit 36 from the management device 4. Received and passed the received p communication processing device IDs to the second determination unit 38. The second receiving unit 37 receives a total of M different communication processing device IDs from the management device 4 by p.

Receive from. Then, the second determination unit 38 determines whether or not the p communication processing device IDs selected by the instruction unit 36 and the p communication processing device IDs received by the second receiving unit 37 are equal to each other.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing by the registration device 3 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the registration device 3 receives the message (step S21) and determines what the message is (step S22).

Then, in the case of a message from the communication processing device 2, the registration device 3 registers the id'and the IP address in the device group management information (step S23). Further, in the case of the registration start message from the management device 4, the registration device 3 randomly has p (id _rnd1 ', ..., id _rndp ) out of the N id'in the device group management information. ') Is selected (step S24). Then, the registration device 3 instructs the p communication processing devices 2 corresponding to the selected p id'to turn on the LED 20a (step S25).

Further, in the case of another message from the management device 4, since it is a message for transmitting an id, the registration device 3 has (id _rnd1'and id # 1 equal to each other, ..., And id. It is determined whether or not _rndp'and id # p are equal) (step S26). Then, the registration device 3 increments x when (id _rnd1'and id # 1 are equal and ... And id _rndp'and id # p are equal) (step S27).
