Abstract
Provided are a wireless mesh network management method for monitoring service traffic between a service device and a user terminal device having recognized a beacon device in its vicinity, detecting an abnormal beacon device or an abnormal wireless AP device that does not operate normally according to a change in the service traffic, and changing a state of the abnormal beacon device or the abnormal wireless AP device, a device for implementing the method, and a computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program for implementing the method is stored.
Claims11
A service device, comprising:
- a communicator configured to exchange data with at least one beacon device, from a plurality of beacon devices and a mobile communication device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- monitor, for each beacon device configured to exchange data with the communicator, service traffic generated corresponding to the respective beacon device;
- detect a change in the service traffic;
- and
- determine whether any beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices is abnormal based on the change in the service traffic,
- wherein, when any beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices is determined to be an abnormal beacon device, the controller is configured to:
- control a selected beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices located within a predetermined range from the abnormal beacon device to increase a transmission power the selected beacon device for a greater coverage;
- disconnect communication with any beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices that are connected to the abnormal beacon device;
- and
- control the disconnected bacon devices to establish a new connection with any beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices having the greater coverage.

A service device, comprising:
- a communicator configured to:
- exchange data with at least one beacon device from a plurality of beacon devices and a mobile communication device;
- and
- transmit a control message to the mobile communication device;
- and a controller configured to:
- monitor, for each beacon device configured to exchange data with the communicator, service traffic generated corresponding to the respective beacon device;
- detect a change in the service traffic;
- and
- determine whether any beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices is abnormal or requires change of setting based on the change in the service traffic,
- wherein, when any beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices is determined to be an abnormal beacon device, the controller is configured to:
- select an administrator device to check the abnormal beacon device;
- transmit information of the abnormal beacon device to the selected administrator device;
- control the selected administrator device to establish a connection between the abnormal beacon device and the service device through the selected administrator device;
- and
- perform remote checking for the abnormal beacon device,
- wherein, when any beacon device from the plurality of beacon devices requires the change of setting, the controller is configured to:
- search for a user device located within a predetermined range from the beacon device that requires the change of setting;
- connect the searched user device to the beacon device that requires the change of setting;
- and
- control the searched user device to communicate with the beacon device that requires the change of setting and to change a setting of the beacon device that requires the change of setting.
