在詳細說明實施例之前,先說明實施例之概念。在用戶新入居的住宅(以下稱為「用戶家」。)中,於網際網路連線的開通前,作業人員(例如施工業者或住宅設備業者)對於設在用戶家的用戶之設備進行基本的設定與動作確認。因此作業人員將行動分享器等攜入用戶家,經由該行動分享器而將用戶之設備連接於網路。網際網路連線的開通後,必須將用戶之設備重新設定成連接於用戶家的網路(例如Wi-Fi(註冊商標)存取點),費時勞力。Before describing the embodiments in detail, the concept of the embodiments will be explained first. In the user’s new residence (hereinafter referred to as the “user’s home”), before the Internet connection is opened, the operator (such as a builder or a residential equipment manufacturer) performs basic operations on the user’s equipment located in the user’s home. Confirmation of settings and actions. Therefore, the operator brings the mobile sharing device into the user's home, and connects the user's equipment to the network through the mobile sharing device. After the Internet connection is opened, the user's device must be reset to connect to the user's home network (such as a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) access point), which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
所以,在實施例中,作業人員將用戶的閘道器(GW)與設備連接於行動分享器,並將關於該連接的資訊保存於雲端的伺服器。用戶的通信裝置,自伺服器讀入GW與設備之連接資訊,將GW與設備自動註冊至用戶的Wi-Fi存取點。藉此,能夠減少用戶將多數設備連接於Wi-Fi存取點的勞力。Therefore, in the embodiment, the operator connects the user's gateway (GW) and device to the mobile sharing device, and saves the information about the connection on the cloud server. The user's communication device reads the connection information between the GW and the device from the server, and automatically registers the GW and the device to the user's Wi-Fi access point. In this way, it is possible to reduce the user's labor to connect most devices to the Wi-Fi access point.
另,在實施例中,為了將用戶的GW還有設備連接於Wi-Fi存取點(行動分享器亦同),係使用公知的「Wi-Fi認證簡易連接(Wi-Fi Certified Easy Connect)」。此技術包含以下的流程。(1)組態器(Configurator)讀取存取點的二維碼,並依該二維碼所示的資訊來建立與存取點之連接。(2)組態器讀取待連接於Wi-Fi的客戶端裝置之二維碼,依該二維碼所示的資訊將客戶端裝置註冊至存取點。(3)其後,客戶端裝置即能連接於Wi-Fi網路。在實施例中,GW14或用戶終端機18作為上述組態器來發揮功能。In addition, in the embodiment, in order to connect the user's GW and equipment to the Wi-Fi access point (the same applies to mobile sharing devices), the well-known "Wi-Fi Certified Easy Connect" is used. ". This technique includes the following processes. (1) The Configurator reads the QR code of the access point, and establishes a connection with the access point based on the information shown in the QR code. (2) The configurator reads the QR code of the client device to be connected to Wi-Fi, and registers the client device to the access point according to the information shown in the QR code. (3) After that, the client device can connect to the Wi-Fi network. In the embodiment, the GW 14 or the
