Abstract
A method of registering a wireless device located in premises in a wireless network which is constructed in the premises. The method includes receiving a light signal, which includes network identification information of the wireless network constructed in the premises from at least one illumination device installed in the premises, and registering the wireless device in the wireless network constructed in the premises, by using the network identification information of the wireless network included in the received light signal.
Claims20
A method of registering a wireless device located in premises in a wireless network which is constructed in the premises, the method comprising:
- receiving a light signal including network identification information of the wireless network constructed in the premises from at least one illumination device installed in the premises;
- and
- registering the wireless device in the wireless network constructed in the premises, by using the network identification information included in the received light signal.
A wireless device to be registered in a wireless network which is constructed in premises, the wireless device comprising:
- a light receiving unit to receive a light signal transmitted from at least one illumination device installed in the premises;
- a light signal interpretation unit to obtain network identification information of the wireless network constructed in the premises by interpreting the received light signal;
- and
- a wireless communication unit to register the wireless device in the wireless network constructed in the premises, by using the network identification information obtained by the light signal interpretation unit.
An illumination device installed in premises, the illumination device comprising:
- a light generation unit to generate light;
- and
- a control unit to adjust brightness of the light by controlling the generation of light by the light generation unit,
- wherein the control unit controls an ON and OFF status of the light by using a pattern which indicates network identification information of a wireless network constructed in the premises.
A wireless network system constructed in premises, the wireless network system comprising:
- an illumination device installed in the premises, to transmit a light signal including network identification information of a wireless network constructed in the premises;
- a gateway to receive a request for registration from a wireless device which has received the light signal;
- and
- a server to allow registration of the wireless device according to the request for registration.
A method of registering a wireless device to a wireless network system, comprising:
- applying power to the wireless device;
- automatically scanning for connectible wireless networks;
- receiving a transmitted light signal including network identification information;
- interpreting information included in the transmitted light signal;
- obtaining the network identification information and location information, as a result of interpreting the transmitted light signal;
- and
- determining whether there is a wireless network identical to the network identification information obtained by interpreting the light signal, from among the scanned connectible wireless networks.
