In a system for supporting various services over the Internet using a wireless gateway, a wireless device and a smart device, the smart device can be connected to the wireless gateway through a WiFi interface. A wireless device is a device for providing only a local wireless interface such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, and performing a pairing with a smart device through a wireless gateway, which will be described below as a target device. If the target device to provide the service provides a WiFi interface, it can directly communicate with the smart device. However, if the target device only provides a local wireless interface such as Bluetooth or ZigBee, the wireless gateway may become the master device. Therefore, the wireless gateway becomes a master device, and can be in a communicable state through a pairing procedure. Then, the management server, the target device, and the smart device can exchange information through the Device Control and Management Protocol (DCMP) module supporting the respective interfaces. At this time, various information related to device control, maintenance and repair can be exchanged through the DCMP protocol through the DCMP module. For example, the DCMP protocol includes Advertisement, Apply, Device Control, and Device Registration Request / Response.

According to one embodiment, the smart device can be connected to the wireless gateway and the management server through the WiFi interface of the wireless gateway installed in the corresponding domain.

Referring to FIG. 1A, at step 110, a smart device may capture a QR code attached to a target device. after. The smart device can access the corresponding URL of the QR code. At this time, it is possible to access the corresponding URL through Wi-Fi.

In step 120, the smart device can connect to the corresponding URL of the QR code and download the application for installation from the management server. In addition, an application can be downloaded directly from the target device using a predetermined protocol. This procedure is an example of downloading an application, and you can download the application in various ways. For example, it is possible to use a method of directly downloading from a device rather than downloading via the Internet using a communication method such as NFC.

In step 130, the target device may emit a pairing signal via a Bluetooth or ZigBee interface when powered on. When the target device is powered on, the target device may emit a pairing signal to the wireless gateway. At this time, it is possible to transmit the pairing information including the information about the target device that emits the pairing signal to the wireless gateway.
