Description

Multi-purpose internet booth

The present invention relates to an internet booth that can be used by anyone in the public for a fixed fee such as a public telephone box.

With the rapid expansion of mobile phones, the use of mobile phones is more absolute than landline phones. As a result, public telephone boxes that have been used in the past have become almost useless.

Therefore, the present invention was conceived in the sense that if a well-established public telephone box is used as another multi-purpose booth, the public telephone box that is discarded unnecessarily can be efficiently used.

In addition, the dissemination of personal computers in general households is common, but it is very inconvenient because other expensive office equipments are difficult to equip and have to use separate PC rooms or other service providers.

Currently, wired / wireless matching devices and wireless terminal devices have already been developed to enable wireless Internet using existing wired networks. In other words, the wired signal received from the outside terminates the signal in the wire / wireless matching device and converts it to wireless to enable wireless connection using the wireless terminal. In addition, there is a call connection and network address translation (NAT) function in the wired / wired matching device to enable routing and private network address assignment to internal devices, enabling efficient use of wired lines connected to the outside.

Therefore, if you use a conventional public telephone box, you will be able to achieve efficient wired and wireless communication.

The equipment to be used includes wired matching device, call connection and network address processing device, protocol conversion device, data processing device, system control device, wireless matching device, and wireless terminal device.

Wired matching device is a device that terminates wired signals such as telephone modem, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), public network and provides them to the data processing unit or, conversely, matches the signal input from the data processing unit to a signal suitable for wired network. The access and network address processing device interprets the network address of the incoming data and routes it to the internal connection between the devices in case of communication between internal devices, and converts it to the assigned public network network address in order to enable communication to the outside. It is equipped with routing and private network address conversion function and lpv6 / lpv4 conversion function so that it can be connected to internal device when the signal is input from outside.

The protocol converter is a device that converts a transmission protocol input by wire into a wireless transmission signal standard and performs its reverse function, and the data processing device receives data provided by the protocol converter into wired and wireless transmission frames or performs its reverse function. The system control device receives and processes the monitoring signal from each block, displays the signal, performs system status and system control when requested from the outside, and controls the media transmission for the wireless channel. The wireless matching device is a device that converts and transmits data input from the data processing unit into a wireless signal, or vice versa, extracts data from the received wireless signal and provides the digital signal to the data processing unit, and the wireless terminal device receives the received wireless signal. Digital signal by extracting data from This is a device that outputs a signal to a wireless network or converts an input signal into a wireless network and transmits the signal to a wireless matching unit.

An object of the present invention is to provide a wired and wireless multi-use Internet booth capable of performing a multi-purpose communication function using a public telephone box that can be conveniently used by anyone using the above known devices.

As shown, in the present invention, the card reader 1 is provided in the door of the conventional public telephone booth.

The card reader may generally use a credit card or use a card with a certain amount of money, just like a public phone card. Can be made to use other cash cards

If necessary, an ID input keyboard 2 is also configured to allow access by password.

For example, the keyboard can be used by employees for booth management or by a person with a certain booth qualification or authority. For example, if you pay a certain amount to the management company, you can be given a unique ID to use the Internet booths installed anywhere in the country for a certain period of time.

The reason for installing the card reader (1) and the keyboard (2) is because the equipment in the booth is expensive to prevent children or teenagers to enter and play around to damage the property or theft of important facilities.

In the center, the chair 3 is installed, and the table 14 is installed on the left and right at a height of about a desk height, and various communication devices such as a monitor are installed thereon as fixed as possible. It is preferable that the chair 3 also be configured as fixed as possible. And the upper chair seat 4 is made rotatable.
