[0012]
Note that the procedure for establishing a link in a wireless network between the wireless access points 101 to 103 and the wireless terminals 111 to 118 is performed in a known sequence defined by IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11a, Bluetooth, or the like. Is omitted. It is also assumed that the setting of a channel used for establishing a wireless link and an ESS (Extended Service Set) ID, which is a network identification ID, are appropriately performed.
[0013]
Further, it is assumed that the wireless access points 101 to 103 have not set the MAC address of the wireless terminal STA110 so that a link can be established in response to a wireless link establishment request from the wireless terminal STA110.
[0014]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of wireless terminals 110 to 118 shown in FIG. 2, the wireless terminal 200 registers a wireless transmission / reception unit 201 that performs wireless communication with the wireless access points 101 to 103, an interface processing unit 202 that performs user interface processing, a connection history list, a rejection list, and the like, which will be described later. It comprises a storage unit 204, a control unit 203 for controlling them, an operation unit 205, and a display unit 206.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a connection process according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an access point list displayed in the AP list display processing shown in FIG. Although the access point list 501 shown in FIG. 5 shows only the name of the access point and its MAC address, other information may be included.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless access point 101 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 111 to 112, the wireless access point 102 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 113 to 115, and the wireless access point 103 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 116 to 118.

Here, it is assumed that the wireless terminal 110 is a wireless terminal 110 that will participate in the above-mentioned wireless network and that the internal storage unit 204 stores the connection history list 301 and the reject list 302 shown in FIG.
[0020]
First, when the power of the wireless terminal 110 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S401 to search for a nearby wireless access point. This search for nearby wireless access points can be realized by, for example, receiving a beacon transmitted by the access point. Then, in step S402, an access point list 501 as shown in FIG. 5 is generated based on the search result. That is, the MAC (media access control) address of the wireless access point is extracted from the received beacon, and a list 501 of surrounding wireless access points is created from the extracted MAC address. Next, in step S403, the access point list 501 is processed by the interface processing unit 202 and displayed on the display unit 206. Thereafter, in step S404, when the user selects a connection access point using the operation unit 205, the process proceeds to each process.
The connection access point can be selected and designated by directly inputting information (for example, a MAC address or the like) of the connection access point in the wireless terminal 110 other than generating and selecting the access point list 501 as described above. It is.
[0021]
Here, if the selected wireless access point is a wireless access point (AP1 in this example) registered in the connection history list 301 shown in FIG. 3, the process proceeds to step S405. Is displayed on the display unit 206. Then, when the user selects “YES” from the operation unit 205, a connection process with the wireless access point is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process returns to step S404, and the above-described connection access point selection processing is repeated.
[0022]
Also, in step S404, if the wireless access point selected by the user is a wireless access point (AP2 in this example) registered in the reject list 302 shown in FIG. 3, the process proceeds to step S406. Is displayed on the display unit 206. Then, if the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S 407, the wireless access point is deleted from the reject list 302, registered in the connection history list 301, and connection processing is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process returns to step S404, and the above-described connection access point selection processing is repeated.
[0023]
Also, in step S404, the wireless access point selected by the user is not registered in the connection history list 301 or the reject list 302 shown in FIG. 3, and is the first wireless access point to perform connection processing (AP3 in this example). If yes, the process proceeds to step S408, and a confirmation message such as “Access point to be connected for the first time. Then, when the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S 409, the wireless access point is registered in the connection history list 301, and connection processing is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process proceeds to step S410, and a confirmation message such as “Do you want to register in the rejection list?” Is displayed on the display unit 206. Here, if the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S411, the wireless access point is registered in the reject list 302, and the process returns to step S404. If the user selects “NO”, the process also returns to step S404. , And repeats the connection access point selection process described above.
[0024]
According to the first embodiment, a connection is permitted to an access point on the connection history list, and a warning message is output to an access point on the rejection list, so that an access point to which no connection is desired is output. Incorrect connection can be prevented. Also, for an access point for which connection processing is to be performed for the first time, it is possible to confirm whether the access point is to be registered in the connection history list or to be denied in the rejection list, and to perform a desired process for the access point.
[0025]
Therefore, even if the operability at the time of input is inferior to a PC such as an embedded device, erroneous connection to an access point can be prevented with a simple operation, and it is possible to easily connect to a desired access point. Become.
[0026]
In the first embodiment, an access point is described as an example of a connection destination of the wireless terminal 110. However, the present invention is also applicable to a case where wireless terminals perform direct wireless connection without relaying the access point.
[0027]
[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0028]
In the second embodiment, after the wireless terminal 110 is turned on, a wireless access point list is generated, an access point in a reject list is deleted from the list, and a connection access point selection process is performed. .
[0029]
Note that the configuration of the wireless network system and the configurations of the wireless access point and the wireless terminal according to the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the connection history list shown in FIG. The same applies to the registration of the rejection list 301 and the rejection list 302, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0030]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a connection process according to the second embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an access point list displayed in the AP list display processing shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, in the access point list 701, the wireless access point AP2 registered in the reject list 302 has been deleted. Hereinafter, a specific operation in the second embodiment will be described.
[0031]
As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless access point 101 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 111 to 112, the wireless access point 102 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 113 to 115, and the wireless access point 103 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 116 to 118. I have. Here, it is assumed that the wireless terminal 110 is a wireless terminal 110 that will participate in the above-mentioned wireless network and that the internal storage unit 204 stores the connection history list 301 and the reject list 302 shown in FIG.
[0032]
First, when the power of the wireless terminal 110 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S601 to search for a nearby wireless access point. This search for nearby wireless access points can be realized by, for example, receiving a beacon transmitted by the access point. Then, in step S602, an access point list is generated based on the search result. Next, in step S603, the generated access point list is compared with the reject list 302, and the access points in the reject list 302 are deleted from the access point list. As a result, the access point list becomes 701 shown in FIG. 7, and the access point list 701 is processed by the interface processing unit 202 and displayed on the display unit 206. Thereafter, in step S605, when the user selects a connection access point using the operation unit 205, the process proceeds to each process.
[0033]
In addition to the selection of the access point, in addition to the generation and selection of the access point list 701 as described above, it is also possible to directly input and specify the information (for example, the MAC address) of the access point in the wireless terminal 110. It is.
[0034]
Here, if the selected wireless access point is a wireless access point (AP1 in this example) registered in the connection history list 301 shown in FIG. 3, the process proceeds to step S606. Is displayed on the display unit 206. Then, when the user selects “YES” from the operation unit 205, a connection process with the wireless access point is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process returns to step S605, and the above-described connection access point selection processing is repeated.
[0035]
Also, in step S605, the wireless access point selected by the user is not registered in the connection history list 301 or the reject list 302 shown in FIG. 3, and performs the wireless access point for the first time (AP3 in this example). If yes, the process proceeds to step S607, and a confirmation message such as “Access point to be connected for the first time. Then, when the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S608, the wireless access point is registered in the connection history list 301, and connection processing is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process proceeds to step S609, and a confirmation message such as “Do you want to register in the rejection list?” Is displayed on the display unit 206. Here, if the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S610, the wireless access point is registered in the reject list 302, and the process returns to step S605. If the user selects “NO”, the process similarly returns to step S605. , And repeats the connection access point selection process described above.
[0036]
According to the second embodiment, a connection is permitted to an access point on the connection history list, and an access point is selected for an access point on the reject list before the user selects a connection access point. By deleting from the list, it is possible to more effectively prevent erroneous connection to an access point that does not want to connect. Also, for an access point for which connection processing is to be performed for the first time, it is possible to confirm whether the access point is to be registered in the connection history list or to be denied in the rejection list, and to perform a desired process for the access point.
[0037]
Therefore, even if the operability at the time of input is inferior to a PC such as an embedded device, erroneous connection to an access point can be prevented with a simple operation, and it is possible to easily connect to a desired access point. Become.
[0038]
In the second embodiment, an access point is described as an example of a connection destination of the wireless terminal 110. However, the present invention is also applicable to a case where wireless terminals directly perform wireless connection without relaying the access point.
[0039]
[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0040]
In the third embodiment, in addition to the first embodiment, a status of an access point is displayed, and a user performs a process of selecting a connection access point based on the displayed status.
[0041]
Note that the configuration of the wireless network system and the configurations of the wireless access point and the wireless terminal in the third embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the connection history list shown in FIG. The same applies to the registration of the rejection list 301 and the rejection list 302, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0042]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a connection process according to the third embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an access point list displayed in the AP list display processing shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, in the access point list 901, the status of the wireless access point (AP 1 in this example) registered in the connection history list 301 is set to “OK” and registered in the reject list 302. The status of the wireless access point (AP2 in this example) is “NG”, and the status of the wireless access point (AP3 in this example) that is not registered in the connection history list 301 or the reject list 302 is “NEW”. And Hereinafter, a specific operation in the third embodiment will be described.
[0043]
As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless access point 101 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 111 to 112, the wireless access point 102 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 113 to 115, and the wireless access point 103 forms wireless networks with wireless terminals 116 to 118. I have. Here, it is assumed that the wireless terminal 110 is a wireless terminal 110 that will participate in the above-mentioned wireless network and that the internal storage unit 204 stores the connection history list 301 and the reject list 302 shown in FIG.
[0044]
First, when the power of the wireless terminal 110 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S801 to search for a nearby wireless access point. This search for nearby wireless access points can be realized by, for example, receiving a beacon transmitted by the access point. Then, in step S802, an access point list is generated based on the search result. Next, in step S803, the access point list is compared with the connection history list 301 and the reject list 302, and the status of the access point in the connection history list 301 is set to “OK”, and the access point in the reject list 302 is set to the status “OK”. Is set to “NG”, and the access point that is neither in the connection history list 301 nor in the reject list 302 sets the status to “NEW” and updates the access point list. As a result, the access point list becomes as shown by 901 in FIG. Thereafter, in step S805, when the user selects a connection access point using the operation unit 205, the process proceeds to each process.
[0045]
The connection access point can be selected and designated by directly inputting information (for example, a MAC address or the like) of the connection access point in the wireless terminal 110 other than generating and selecting the access point list 901 as described above. It is.
[0046]
Here, if the status of the access point selected by the user is “OK” (AP1 in this example), the process proceeds to step S806, and a confirmation message such as “Is okay with OO?” Is displayed on the display unit. Displayed at 206. Then, when the user selects “YES” from the operation unit 205, a connection process with the wireless access point is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process returns to step S805, and the above-described connection access point selection processing is repeated.
[0047]
If the status of the access point selected by the user is “NG” (AP2 in this example) in step S805, the process proceeds to step S807, for example, “Access point on rejection list. Do you want to connect?” Is displayed on the display unit 206. If the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S808, in which the wireless access point is deleted from the reject list 302, registered in the connection history list 301, and connection processing is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process returns to step S805, and the above-described connection access point selection processing is repeated.
[0048]
If the status of the access point selected by the user is “NEW” (AP3 in this example) in step S805, the process proceeds to step S809, for example, “Access point to be connected for the first time. Such a confirmation message is displayed on the display unit 206. Then, when the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S810, the wireless access point is registered in the connection history list 301, and connection processing is performed. If the user selects “NO”, the process advances to step S811 to display a confirmation message such as “Do you want to register in the rejection list?” On the display unit 206. Here, if the user selects “YES”, the process proceeds to step S812, the wireless access point is registered in the reject list 302, and the process returns to step S805. If the user selects “NO”, the process similarly returns to step S805. , And repeats the connection access point selection process described above.
[0049]
According to the third embodiment, a connection is permitted to an access point on the connection history list, and a warning message is output to an access point on the rejection list, so that access points to which no connection is desired are output. Incorrect connection can be prevented. In addition, for an access point that performs connection processing for the first time, it is possible to confirm whether to register the access point in a connection history list or a reject list, and to perform a process desired by the user on the access point.
[0050]
In addition, by displaying the status in the access point list before the user selects a connection access point, it is possible to know the state of the access point to be selected from now on, and to assist the user in selecting the connection access point. It becomes possible.
[0051]
Therefore, even if the operability at the time of input is inferior to a PC such as an embedded device, erroneous connection to an access point can be prevented with a simple operation, and it is possible to easily connect to a desired access point. Become.
[0052]
In the third embodiment, an access point is described as an example of a connection destination of the wireless terminal 110. However, the present invention is also applicable to a case where wireless terminals directly perform wireless connection without relaying the access point.
[0053]
According to the embodiment described above, by using the connection history list and the rejection list, when an attempt is made to connect to a wireless device on the rejection list, a warning is issued to the wireless device other than the desired connection partner by issuing a warning. Incorrect connection can be prevented. At that time, by creating a list of peripheral wireless devices and using the list, the connection history list, and the rejection list, it is possible to provide an interface that is easy for the user to operate.
[0054]
This makes it possible to prevent erroneous connection with a simple operation, and easily connect to a desired communication partner, even in the case of a device such as an embedded device which is inferior in input operability as compared with a PC.
[0055]
In the above description of each embodiment, when the connection access point selected by the user is registered in the connection history list, the confirmation message is displayed, but the connection access point registered in the connection history list is displayed. When an access point is selected, connection processing may be performed without displaying a confirmation message. By doing so, the user is confirmed only when a connection access point registered in the rejection list or a connection access point not registered in both the connection history list and the rejection list is selected. User operation up to connection can be simplified.
[0056]
Further, even if the present invention is applied to a system including a plurality of devices (for example, a host computer, an interface device, a reader, a printer, and the like), the present invention can be applied to an apparatus (for example, a copier, a facsimile device, and the like) including one device.
