no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0051] In the first embodiment, an example will be described in which a network-compatible air conditioner as an electrical device 3 is connected to a home network, and software including functional modules associated with the air conditioner is developed in the communication device 2 In this state, the user purchases a new network-compatible lighting device as the electric device 3, acquires new software by using the operation terminal 4 connected to the indoor network, and develops it. The operation screen that can be browsed on the operation terminal 4 before setting is Figure 19 .

[0052] figure 1 It is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the system of the first embodiment. figure 1 The system includes a management device 1, a communication device 2, at least one electrical device 3, and an operation terminal 4, which are respectively connected via a wired network or a wireless network.

[0053] The management device 1 is a server owned by the service...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0080] An embodiment in which a device information list is written on an information input screen of the electric device 3 so that selection and input can be performed will be described. The overall system diagram of the second embodiment and the configuration diagram of the management device 1 and the communication device 2 and Figure 1 to Figure 3 The first embodiment shown is the same, and the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0081] Figure 10 It is a sequence diagram showing the system operation of the software update process in the second embodiment.

[0082] First, the operation terminal 4 requests the communication device 2 for a screen for inputting device information. The communication device 2 inquires of the management device 1 in order to obtain a list of equipment information of the service provider. Upon receiving the inquiry, the management de...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0088]An embodiment will be described in which the device information of the electrical device 3 is obtained by searching the home network by the communication device 2 . The overall system diagram of the third embodiment and the configuration diagram of the management device 1 and the communication device 2 and Figure 1 to Figure 3 The first embodiment shown is the same, and the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configurations as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0089] Figure 13 It is a sequence diagram showing the system operation of the software update process in the third embodiment.

[0090] First, when the operation terminal 4 requests the communication device 2 for a screen for searching for devices, the device information acquisition unit 22 creates a search screen for searching the electrical devices 3 connected to the home network, and presents the screen to the user via the operation terminal 4 . ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a communication device, a management device and a communication system which are used for generation of software associated to an electrical device. The communication device (2) is formed by connecting the management device (1) and at least one an electrical device (3), and is provided with a function module associated to the management device (1). The communication device (2) comprises a device information acquisition part (22) used for acquiring the information of the electrical device (3), and a software acquisition part (24) used for sending the information of the electrical device (3) to the management device (1) and acquiring software from the management device (1), wherein the software comprises a function module associated with the information of the electrical device (3) and is used for operating the electrical device (3). The communication device, the management device and the communication system are able to realize to provide software aiming at the combination of each electrical device.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a communication device, a management device, and a communication system. Background technique [0002] The device control system which manages the network device in a house by user's operation via an operation terminal is well-known. Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which a management device of a service provider sends an operation screen of a network device held in the management device to an operation terminal, and a user operates the network device using the operation screen on the operation terminal. [0003] [Prior art literature] [0004] [Patent Document] [0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-346188 Contents of the invention [0006] [Problem to be solved by the invention] [0007] However, operability may be affected by the line condition of the public line every time the network device is operated and connected to the management device. Therefore, in order t...
