Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving data of a Wi-Fi-based digital signage. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring a server response time required for accessing a Wi- Real-time update information that needs to be updated in real time and non-real-time update information that is updated in non-real-time, and manages the transmission time and rank of the data, thereby efficiently and stably in an unstable Wi-Fi wireless network environment To an apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving data of a digital signage that transmits and receives data.
Digital Signage is a platform that displays images, images, and information on a display screen or projector using a digital information display (DID) and remotely managed through a network. In the past, unilateral and monolithic advertisements for unspecified number of users have been mainly focused on. However, digital signage has become more and more popular as a medium for presenting contexts and interactive contents as well as customized advertisements using analysis of life patterns of users or using big data It is attracting attention.
Typically, the digital signage communication method has no particular restriction on wired and wireless. However, in the industry, wired networks require additional networking costs, so they prefer wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks that can save money. Unlike wired networks where the operating state of a network is fixed, a Wi-Fi network is a flexible network where access points (APs) are added or removed frequently and can access multiple Wi-Fi APs at a single point. .
The choice of a Wi-Fi AP is usually determined by the user or by the operating system running the hardware of the digital signage. In particular, the operating system of most devices determines APs to be connected according to the intensity of the received signal uniformly rather than the Internet connection. However, considering the characteristics of digital cyberspace, which is often installed outdoors, when using a Wi-Fi network installed in a public place, when there are many users connected to the Wi-Fi AP or when weather conditions are poor, data transmission / reception is unstable Or the speed is slow to provide a proper service.
Therefore, it is not possible to determine the AP to be connected according to the strength of the received signal uniformly by the operating system of the device, but it is possible to select the AP with the fastest data transmission / reception among the connectable Wi-Fi APs This is a time when digital signage data transmission and reception technology is needed more than ever.
The object of the present invention is to determine whether to connect to the next-ranked AP by setting different connection time limits for each AP based on at least one of signal strength, connection history and server response time (T s ) of each AP by day, And, There is provided an apparatus and method for transmitting / receiving data of a Wi-Fi-based digital signage that efficiently and reliably transmits / receives data by preferentially requesting, receiving, and updating high priority information from a server
