(Embodiment 1)

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a basic configuration of an autonomous small wireless device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of another constituent block of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of another constituent block of the first embodiment of the present invention.
Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present autonomous small wireless device 0100 includes a transmission / reception antenna 0101 for short-range wireless communication, an autonomous power supply 0102 having no other power receiving path and having a structure that cannot be attached / detached / exchanged by the user. It is composed of a communication control circuit unit 0103 driven by an autonomous power supply 0102, and the communication control circuit unit 0103 has a communication circuit means including a communication interface.
The autonomous small wireless device 1 shows a schematic configuration of a base station device (wireless access point) and a gateway device (wireless relay device) for short-range wireless communication, and other necessary functions are omitted. For example, Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), ZigBee (registered trademark) and the like can be used as the communication interface, enabling low power consumption communication. FeliCa (registered trademark), RF tags, infrared communication, etc. can also be used as appropriate.

The autonomous power supply 0102 does not have another power supply receiving path and has a structure that cannot be attached / detached / exchanged by the user, so that the autonomous small wireless device can be installed even in a place where there is no commercial power supply. Further, the autonomous small wireless device (0100, 0200) uses a battery (0202, 0303) or the like for the autonomous power supply 0102 as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, and the capacity of the battery (0202, 0302) is It has a capacity to cover one year or more and five years or less of the power consumption of the communication control circuit unit (0103, 0203, 0303). Therefore, since the autonomous small wireless device 1 can be used without supplying an external power supply for a predetermined period, the device can be disposable, and maintenance and maintenance costs can be reduced. Since the usage period of the small autonomous wireless device (0100, 0200, 0300) is limited to several years, the strength and design accuracy of the housing can be relaxed, and the durable life can be shortened, so the structure can be simplified and the device can be used. The cost can be reduced.
Further, as the battery (0202, 0302), a single-use secondary battery, a small lithium battery, or the like can be used in consideration of a desired usage period, and maintenance and maintenance cost can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 3, the autonomous small wireless device 0300 further has a power consumption control unit 0304 in addition to FIGS. 1 and 2, and the power consumption per unit time is reduced by the control of the power consumption control unit 0304. After a lapse of a predetermined time, the sleep mode (state) can be entered to reduce power consumption. In addition, in order to enable the use of the autonomous small wireless device for a predetermined period, the power is turned off even during communication. The release of the sleep state is controlled in response to a request signal (sleep ON / OFF signal) from the outside.
<Relationship between communication speed and power consumption>
Consider the energy density of the battery and consider the volume of the battery for 1 to 3 years.
For example, the daily traffic is 1 Mbit,
Assuming that the power required for 1Mbit communication is 0.1W,
The total power consumption for 3 years is
0.1W x 365 (day) x 3 (year) = 109.5Wh,
It will be about 100Wh.
Assuming that the energy density of the battery is 1000 Wh / kg, 100 Wh / 100g
Will be.
It can be used continuously for 3 years with a battery of about 100g.
This battery can be a rechargeable lithium-sulfur battery of about 50cc, a metal / air battery, or a metal negative electrode battery. Further, since the usage period is determined by the volume of the battery, the size of the self-supporting small wireless device will be slightly larger assuming the use for about 5 years. At the time of installation, charge the battery with the power for the expected number of years of use.

Provide a function to suspend communication for a predetermined time exceeding a predetermined communication amount, for example, 2M bit communication. The purpose of this is to reduce power consumption. For example, in such a case, the connection is switched to another adjacent self-supporting small wireless device to control so as to maintain the continuation of communication. Therefore, the distributed installation of the self-supporting small wireless device adopts a configuration that can realize such a function. Further, when the communication amount for a predetermined time is exceeded, the output of the antenna is lowered to suppress the power consumption. The purpose of this is to narrow the communication radius.

The capacity of the battery (0202, 0302) which is the autonomous power source described above is 50 watt hours or more and 100 watt hours or less, and the average power consumption of the communication control circuit (0203, 0303) is 1 milliwatt or more and 5 milliwatts or less. If so, it can be used for a predetermined period. The above is the case of an autonomous small wireless device installed in an area that is relatively easy for humans to access. For example, urban areas, their surroundings, and rural towns.

In response to this case, in a completely unpopular mountainous area, for example, along the road connecting villages in the mountains, in desert areas, in the middle of forests, etc., replacement of autonomous wireless devices in a short period of time, new Since it is difficult to install, it is preferable to use an autonomous wireless device that operates autonomously for a long period of time. For example, the power consumption including the communication control circuit (0203, 0303) is 1 watt / hour (because the coverage area is wide), and the capacity of the battery (0202, 0302) is one year or more at this power consumption. If it is 5 years or less, it can be used for a predetermined period. In this case, the battery capacity needs to be about 10,000 to 50,000 watt hours of energy supplied from the autonomous power source. This weighs about 10 kg when using a metal / air battery.

The small autonomous wireless device (0100, 0200, 0300) has a housing made of plastic or paper, and all circuits and antennas including these autonomous power supplies 0102 and batteries (0202, 0302) are wrapped in a moisture-resistant lapping film. Then, obtain the desired strength with a heat-curable resin or the like.

The fact that a device such as an autonomous power supply (0103) cannot be attached or detached by a user means that the box (housing) of the device cannot be opened without using a dedicated jig. Alternatively, it means that the autonomous power supply cannot be attached or detached without destroying the exterior of the device. Therefore, it is possible to collect the small autonomous wireless device, disassemble it at the factory, and recycle the usable parts. As the moisture-resistant lapping film described above, a heat-shrinkable type or a spray type can be used. Brazing of organic matter may be used. The coating layer is a water-soluble salt of a carboxylic acid having a polymerizable unsaturated bond, a water-soluble cellulose derivative having a hydroxyalkyl group, an oxidizing agent containing silica fine powder, and a water-soluble carboxylic acid having a polymerizable unsaturated bond. It may be a waterproof layer obtained by reacting a reducing agent containing a sex salt, a water-soluble cellulose derivative having a hydroxyalkyl group, and silica fine powder. These are formed by spray painting on the housing. The composition of the waterproof layer is not particularly limited to these, and all kinds of thermosetting waterproof plastics, air reaction curable waterproof plastics, and the like can be selected. Further, this layer may be formed by spraying a Teflon (registered trademark) resin or the like.

When using a solar panel as an autonomous power source, install it outdoors so that it can receive sunlight. In the case of indoor installation, it should be installed in a state where it can receive illumination light or sunlight.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, the communication control unit circuit unit (0703, 0803, 0903) is provided with a routing means (0703a, 0903b) and a repeater means (0803b, 0903c) to provide a routing function. A repeater function can be realized. When the routing function by the routing means (0703a, 0903b) is realized, the GPS function is mounted on the autonomous small wireless device (0700, 0800, 0900), and the routing can be realized based on the position information of the own device. The routing means (0703a, 0903b) and the repeater means (0803b, 0903c) can be realized by known means.

The autonomous small wireless device (0700, 0800, 0900) can be attached to a mobile body such as an automobile, a mobile terminal, or a mobile router. Further, if the autonomous small wireless device (0700, 0800, 0900) is ultra-small, it can be attached to a dog or cat collar or human clothes.

As described above, the autonomous small wireless device of the first embodiment or the second embodiment is realized in a state where there is no external exposed terminal, and an LED display or the like is added so that the operating state can be recognized from the outside. The antenna is basically built in the device, and if it is in a state where moisture resistance can be maintained, it can be appropriately used as an external antenna. Further, since the autonomous small wireless device communicates with the maintenance terminal, it is preferable that the autonomous small wireless device has a maintenance communication function. In order to realize online maintenance, in order to prevent unauthorized intrusion into the network, it has a flash function that shows the own device when outdoors, and it is possible to shoot the device installation area from a drone etc. and select the flash location. Also, a beep sound for maintenance may be generated. At the time of maintenance, the GPS function may be used to send the location information at the time of installation to the maintenance terminal. It is preferable that the maintenance communication function has a dedicated communication means different from the general-purpose communication means. This is to prevent malicious hacking and intrusion from general-purpose communication channels. That is, this maintenance communication function may use a completely different antenna and a completely different communication protocol.
