[0008] The terminal device 100 according to the embodiment described below includes a display unit 120 that displays device information, a reception unit 161 that receives from a user of the terminal device 100 settings of filtering conditions for narrowing down target devices to be inspected for the reception strength of radio waves emitted from the detected devices among the detected devices detected within the wireless communication range, an identification unit 162 that identifies target devices that match the filtering conditions based on data acquired from the detected devices, and a display control unit 163 that causes information about the target devices identified by the identification unit 162 to be displayed on the display unit 120 as inspection results.

[0009] Furthermore, in the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment, the reception unit 161 receives, as a narrowing-down condition, setting of name information given in advance to the device or information indicating the reception strength of radio waves transmitted from the device.

[0010] In addition, the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment further includes a memory unit 150 that stores the results of the reception strength test, an inspection unit 164 that performs a reception strength test corresponding to a selected device selected by a user from among the target devices as a reception strength test target, and a storage unit 165 that stores the reception strength test results by the inspection unit 164 in the memory unit 150 in accordance with recording conditions set by the user.

[0011] Furthermore, in the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment, when a comment setting for the selected device is accepted from the user, the storage unit 165 stores information on the comment set by the user in association with the inspection result.

[0012] Furthermore, in the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment, the display control unit 163 acquires test results from the storage unit 150 according to extraction conditions designated by the user, and causes the display unit 120 to display information on the acquired test results.

[0013] The information processing system 1 according to the embodiment described below includes a plurality of devices having wireless communication capabilities and a terminal device 100 that controls the devices. The terminal device 100 is equipped with a display unit 120 that displays information about the devices, a reception unit 161 that receives, from a user of the terminal device 100, settings of filtering conditions for narrowing down target devices to be inspected for the reception strength of radio waves emitted from the detected devices among the detected devices detected within the wireless communication range, an identification unit 162 that identifies target devices that match the filtering conditions based on data acquired from the detected devices, and a display control unit 163 that causes information about the target devices identified by the identification unit 162 to be displayed on the display unit 120 as inspection results.

[0014] The information processing method according to the embodiment described below is an information processing method performed by the terminal device 100 in an information processing system 1 including a plurality of devices having wireless communication functions and a terminal device 100 that controls the devices, and includes a reception process for receiving, from a user of the terminal device 100, settings of filtering conditions for narrowing down target devices to be inspected for the reception strength of radio waves emitted from the detection devices among the detection devices detected within the wireless communication range, an identification process for identifying target devices that match the filtering conditions based on data acquired from the detection devices, and a display control process for displaying information on the target devices identified by the identification process on a display unit 120 provided in the terminal device 100 as inspection results.

[0015] Conventionally, when testing the reception strength of radio waves emitted from devices such as lighting equipment, it takes time to select the device to be tested. For this reason, there is room for improvement in efficiently testing the reception strength of radio waves emitted from devices.

[0016] In view of the above, the present disclosure proposes a terminal device, an information processing system, and an information processing method that can efficiently inspect the reception strength of radio waves transmitted from devices. Hereinafter, a terminal device, an information processing system, and an information processing method according to an embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 8. Hereinafter, information processing in an information processing system 1 including a plurality of lighting devices 10 having wireless communication functions will be described as an example of an information processing system according to an embodiment, but the lighting devices 10 may be other devices having wireless communication functions.

[0017] [Embodiment] (Example of information processing system configuration) An example of the configuration of the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment will be described below. Fig. 1 shows an example of the configuration of the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment. The information processing system 1 shown in Fig. 1 has a plurality of lighting devices 10, a communication device 20, and a terminal device 100. Note that the information processing system 1 is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 1, and may have other devices in addition to those shown in Fig. 1.

[0018] The lighting devices 10 (e.g., lighting devices 10X, 10Y, and 10Z) are predetermined lighting devices such as base lights, ceiling lights, down lights, and spot lights, and have a transmitter such as a beacon. The lighting devices 10 communicate with other devices, such as a communicator 20, located within a communication range, for example, through a predetermined network (e.g., network N shown in FIG. 5). The lighting devices 10 can also perform wireless communication in accordance with communication standards such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) and BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy).

[0019] The transmitter of the lighting device 10 may have, for example, a first mode in which predetermined information is transmitted at predetermined intervals, and a second mode in which a larger amount of information can be transmitted and received than in the first mode and the predetermined information is transmitted in response to an external request. The transmitter of the lighting device 10 may be capable of switching between the first mode and the second mode in response to an external request.

[0020] In addition, the lighting device 10 may transmit and receive various types of data to and from the terminal device 100 via the communication device 20.

[0021] The communication device 20 communicates with other devices such as the lighting devices 10 through a predetermined network (for example, the network N shown in FIG. 5). For example, the communication device 20 has a serial port, and is wired-connected (for example, COM-connected) to the terminal device 100 via the serial port, and communicates with the terminal device 100.

[0022] The predetermined network may include public lines such as the Internet, telephone lines, and satellite communication networks, as well as various LANs (Local Area Networks) including Ethernet (registered trademark), and WANs (Wide Area Networks). The network may also include dedicated lines such as IP-VPN (Internet Protocol-Virtual Private Network). The network may also include wireless communication networks such as Wi-Fi (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), and the like.

[0023] The terminal device 100 is an information processing terminal having various functions such as a communication function, a display function, and a web browsing function, and executes information processing according to the embodiment. The terminal device 100 is also equipped with a dedicated application program (hereinafter referred to as a "dedicated app") that provides various functions for implementing the information processing according to the embodiment. For example, the terminal device 100 may be used by a user such as a manager of a factory in which the lighting devices 10 are installed. The terminal device 100 may be implemented by a smart device (smartphone or tablet), a PDA, a desktop or laptop personal computer, or the like.

[0024] For example, the terminal device 100 has a serial port, and is wired-connected (for example, COM-connected) to the communication device 20 via the serial port to communicate with the communication device 20. The terminal device 100 can transmit and receive various data to and from the lighting device 10 through the communication device 20.

[0025] (Outline of processing by information processing system) An overview of the information processing executed in the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment will be described below with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 4. Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 show an overview of the information processing executed in the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment.

[0026] As shown in Fig. 2, the terminal device 100 accepts a narrowing down condition for detecting devices that are detected within a wireless communication range from among multiple lighting devices 10 to be inspected (step S11). A display example EX-1 shown in Fig. 2 is an example of an operation screen G provided to a user as a user interface for accepting various operations related to the lighting devices 10 to be inspected. The operation screen G is displayed on the terminal device 100 by a dedicated app installed in the terminal device 100.

[0027] For example, a reception intensity setting area A-1 provided on the operation screen G shown in Fig. 2 is an area for setting the reception intensity of radio waves transmitted from the lighting devices 10 as a narrowing-down condition for narrowing down the lighting devices 10. The reception intensity setting area A-1 is configured to be able to accept settings of minimum and maximum reception intensity. The terminal device 100 searches for lighting devices 10 whose radio wave reception intensity is between the minimum and maximum values ​​according to the setting value in the reception intensity setting area A-1.

[0028] 2 is an area for setting a local name, which is name information indicating a name given in advance to the lighting devices 10, as a narrowing-down condition for narrowing down the lighting devices 10. The local name setting area A-2 is configured to be able to search for not only an exact match of the local name but also a partial match.

[0029] 2, when a scan button provided adjacent to the reception intensity setting area A-1 is operated, a scan execution command is transmitted from the terminal device 100 to the communication device 20, and a scan of the lighting devices 10 is executed. When a stop button provided adjacent to the reception intensity setting area A-1 is operated on the operation screen G, a scan stop command is transmitted from the terminal device 100 to the communication device 20, and the scan of the lighting devices 10 is stopped.

[0030] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the terminal device 100 receives information on detected devices from the communication device 20, the terminal device 100 identifies target devices that match the narrowing-down conditions from among the detected devices (step S12).

[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 3, the terminal device 100 displays information on the identified target devices (step S13). A display example EX-2 shown in Fig. 3 is an example of an operation screen G that displays, as an inspection result, information on the target devices identified as the lighting devices 10 that match the narrowing-down conditions.

[0032] For example, a list of target devices is displayed in a target device display area A-3 provided on the operation screen G shown in Fig. 3. The target device display area A-3 has the following items: "Display," "Local Name," "Address," and "RSSI."

[0033] The "Display" item displays check boxes for selecting devices to be deleted from the list displayed in the target device display area A-3. "Local Name" displays the name information of the target device. The "Address" item displays address information (e.g., MAC (Media Access Control) address) assigned to the target device (such as the communication module equipped in the device). The "RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)" item displays information indicating the radio wave reception strength.

[0034] In this way, in the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment, the terminal device 100 displays a list of target devices identified as lighting devices 10 that match the filtering condition on the operation screen G and provides it to the user. In this way, when testing the reception strength of radio waves transmitted from the lighting devices 10, the terminal device 100 can provide the user with a filtering function for narrowing down the lighting devices 10 via the operation screen G, thereby helping the user to easily select testing targets.

[0035] 4, the terminal device 100 inspects the radio wave reception strength of a selected device selected from among the target devices as a reception strength inspection target (step S14). For example, the terminal device 100 transmits a measurement start command to the communication device 20, and continuously acquires reception strength information corresponding to the selected device from the information of the target devices received from the communication device 20 until the inspection is completed. At this time, if the terminal device 100 has received a measurement time setting from the user, it transmits information on the measurement time to the communication device 20 together with the measurement start command.

[0036] Also, for example, when the terminal device 100 detects a user operation of a record start button (e.g., see FIG. 3) provided in the recording condition setting area A-5 described later, it may send a measurement start command to the communication device 20 to start checking the radio wave reception strength of the selected device, and when the terminal device 100 detects a user operation of a record stop button (e.g., see FIG. 4) provided in the recording condition setting area A-5, it may send a measurement stop command to the communication device 20 to end the check of the radio wave reception strength of the selected device.

[0037] Also, for example, the terminal device 100 may accept a time schedule setting for automatically carrying out periodic inspections of the selected devices from the user through the operation screen G. In this case, the terminal device 100 transmits a measurement start command and information on the measurement time to the communication device 20 at the measurement start time set in the time schedule, on condition that the dedicated application is in an active state.

[0038] Also, as shown in Fig. 4, the terminal device 100 stores the test results of the reception strength of the selected device in a storage unit (for example, the test result storage unit 151 shown in Fig. 5) in accordance with the recording conditions set prior to carrying out the test (step S15). For example, when an average value is set as a recording condition, the terminal device 100 calculates the average value of the reception strength of the radio waves of the selected device acquired from the start of the test to the end of the test, and stores the calculated average data as the test result in a storage unit (for example, the test result storage unit 151 shown in Fig. 5). Display example EX-3 shown in Fig. 4 is an example of an operation screen G when carrying out a reception strength test.

[0039] For example, the address information of the selected device selected by the user in the target device display area A-3 is displayed in the test address display area A-4 provided in the operation screen G shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 4 shows a case where "11:22:33:AA:BB:CC" is displayed as the address information of the selected device in the test address display area A-4.

[0040] Also, the recording condition setting area A-5 provided in the operation screen G shown in FIG. 4 is an area for accepting the setting of the recording conditions of the test results. For example, the recording condition setting area A-5 is configured to be able to select the current value, average value, minimum value, maximum value, or median value of the radio wave reception strength during measurement as the recording target. The pass / fail judgment threshold is used to judge the pass / fail of the radio wave reception strength at the end of the test. For example, if the radio wave reception strength is a value greater than the pass / fail judgment threshold, it is judged as pass, and if it is a value less than the pass / fail judgment threshold (or a value equal to or less than the pass / fail judgment threshold), it is judged as fail. For example, if the pass / fail judgment threshold is "-60", if the value of the radio wave reception strength at the end of the test is "-59", it is judged as pass, and if the value of the radio wave reception strength is "-61", it is judged as fail. Also, the recording condition setting area A-5 is configured to be able to set the X-axis interval of the graph area displayed on the right side of the operation screen G. Also, the recording condition setting area A-5 is configured to be able to display the elapsed time from the start of the test. Moreover, the recording condition setting area A-5 is configured so that the measurement time of the radio wave reception strength can be set.

[0041] Furthermore, a comment setting area A-6 provided on the operation screen G shown in Fig. 4 is an area for accepting comments set by a user when a reception strength test is performed (for example, when the test starts). For example, the comment setting area A-6 is configured to be able to accept settings such as distance, temperature, humidity, and remarks. The terminal device 100 stores the comment information set in the comment setting area A-6 in a storage unit (for example, the test result storage unit 151 shown in Fig. 5) in association with the test result.

[0042] In this way, in the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment, the terminal device 100 stores the inspection result of the reception strength of the selected device. In this way, the terminal device 100 can provide the inspection result (log) according to the user's request. For example, after the inspection is completed, the user of the terminal device 100 can refer to and use the abnormality data, in which the reception strength of the radio waves of the lighting device 10 selected as the inspection target is below the pass / fail judgment threshold, to closely examine whether the reception strength of the radio waves transmitted from the lighting device 10 is continuously above a certain level.

[0043] (Example of functional configuration) (Example of terminal device configuration) Hereinafter, an example of a functional configuration of the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 shows an example of a functional configuration of the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment. The terminal device 100 according to the embodiment includes a communication unit 110, a display unit 120, an operation unit 130, a connection unit 140, a storage unit 150, and a control unit 160.

[0044] The communication unit 110 transmits and receives information to and from other devices such as the communication device 20. The communication unit 110 can be realized, for example, by a predetermined communication circuit or a NIC (Network Interface Card). The communication unit 110 can support any communication method. The communication methods supported by the communication unit 110 may include wired communication through the connection unit 140, mobile data communication standards such as 4G, LTE (Long Term Evolution), and 5G, or wireless communication such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), infrared communication, and the like.

[0045] The display unit 120 displays images such as an operation screen G (see, for example, FIGS. 2 to 4) provided to a user by a dedicated application. The display unit 120 functions as a display unit that displays information about the lighting device 10. The display unit 120 may be realized by including a display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence). The display unit 120 may also be realized by a touch screen display.

[0046] The operation unit 130 operates and inputs various types of information. For example, the operation unit 130 can be realized by an input device such as a transparent touch panel provided on the display unit 120. When the operation unit 130 is realized by a touch panel, it detects a touch operation on the display unit 120 and outputs operation information indicating the detected operation content to the control unit 160. Note that the operation unit 130 may have physical buttons, etc.

[0047] The connection unit 140 is connected to an external device such as the communication device 20. For example, the connection unit 140 includes a serial port, and is connected to the communication device 20 via the serial port via a wired connection (COM connection).

[0048] The storage unit 150 stores various types of information. For example, the storage unit 150 can store programs and data for implementing various types of control executed by the control unit 160. The storage unit 150 can be implemented by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk. In addition, when the storage unit 150 is implemented by a flash memory, it may be implemented by a removable portable recording medium such as an SD card.

[0049] The storage unit 150 may store a dedicated application having a function of executing information processing according to the embodiment. The storage unit 150 may also store various programs and data according to purposes. As shown in Fig. 5, the storage unit 150 has an inspection result storage unit 151. Fig. 6 shows an overview of information stored in the inspection result storage unit 151 included in the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 6, the inspection result storage unit 151 has multiple items such as an item for "inspection date and time," an item for "selected equipment," an item for "inspection result," an item for "comment information," etc., and these items are associated with each other.

[0051] The "inspection date and time" field stores information indicating the date and time when an inspection was performed on the reception strength of radio waves transmitted from the lighting device 10. The "selected device" field stores information for identifying the lighting device 10 selected by the user as the inspection target on the operation screen G (see, for example, Figs. 2 to 4). The "inspection result" field stores information indicating the inspection result. The "comment information" field stores comment information regarding the comment set by the user on the operation screen G (see, for example, Figs. 2 to 4).

[0052] The control unit 160 is, for example, a control circuit that controls each part of the terminal device 100, and has an internal memory for storing programs that define various processing procedures and required data, and executes various processes using these. The control unit 160 can be realized by a microcomputer or the like. The microcomputer is equipped with a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM. The ROM stores programs for controlling each part of the terminal device 100 and applications (for example, dedicated applications) for executing various processes. The microcomputer controls the terminal device 100 and realizes various functions by a processor such as a CPU executing programs and applications stored in the ROM. The RAM is used as a memory area required for the processor such as a CPU to execute calculations. The control unit 160 may also realize the control of the terminal device 100 and various functions by reading programs stored in the storage unit 150 and executing the read programs. Furthermore, the control unit 160 may be realized by an integrated circuit such as an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), or a System-on-a-chip (SoC).

[0053] As shown in Fig. 5, the control unit 160 has a reception unit 161, an identification unit 162, a display control unit 163, an inspection unit 164, and a storage unit 165. The control unit 160 realizes or executes the functions and actions of information processing described below by using these units. Note that the internal configuration of the control unit 160 is not limited to the configuration shown in Fig. 5, and may be other configurations as long as they perform information processing described below, and may have a different configuration in accordance with an expansion or change of functions.

[0054] The reception unit 161 receives, from the user of the terminal device 100, a setting of a filtering condition for filtering out detected devices that are detected within a wireless communication range among the multiple lighting devices 10 included in the information processing system 1. For example, the reception unit 161 receives, via an operation screen G (see, for example, FIGS. 2 to 4), a setting of name information (e.g., a local name) that is given in advance to the lighting devices 10, or information indicating the reception strength of radio waves transmitted from the lighting devices 10 (e.g., minimum and maximum values ​​of RSSI).

[0055] The identification unit 162 identifies target devices that match the narrowing-down conditions based on data acquired from the detected devices. For example, the identification unit 162 identifies target devices that match the narrowing-down conditions based on name information and reception strength information of the detected devices acquired from the communication device 20.

[0056] The display control unit 163 causes the display unit 120 to display information on the target devices identified by the identification unit 162 as the inspection result. For example, the display control unit 163 displays a list of the target devices on the operation screen G.

[0057] The inspection unit 164 performs an inspection of the reception strength corresponding to a selected device selected by a user from among the target devices as an inspection target of reception strength. For example, the inspection unit 164 continuously acquires information on the reception strength corresponding to the selected device from the information on the target devices received from the communication device 20 during the period from the start of the inspection to the end of the inspection.

[0058] The saving unit 165 saves the inspection result of the reception strength by the inspection unit 164 in the storage unit 150 (for example, the inspection result storage unit 151) according to the recording conditions set by the user. For example, when an average value is set as a recording condition, the saving unit 165 calculates the average value of the reception strength of the radio waves of the selected device acquired from the start of the inspection to the end of the inspection, and saves the calculated average value data in the storage unit 150 (for example, the inspection result storage unit 151).

[0059] (Processing flow) (System-wide processing) The flow of processing by the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment will be described below. Fig. 7 shows an example of the flow of processing in the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment.

[0060] 7, the terminal device 100 transmits a COM connection request to the communication device 20 (step S101). When the communication device 20 receives the COM connection request from the terminal device 100, it transmits a COM connection request permission response to the terminal device 100 (step S102).

[0061] The terminal device 100 receives from the user narrowing-down conditions for narrowing down the lighting devices 10 to be inspected (step S103). In addition, the terminal device 100 transmits a scan start command to the communication device 20 in response to a request from the user (step S104).

[0062] When the communication device 20 receives the scan start command from the terminal device 100, it starts scanning for the lighting devices 10 (step S105). In addition, the communication device 20 transmits scan data indicating information of the lighting devices 10 detected within the wireless communication range to the terminal device 100 (step S106).

[0063] The terminal device 100 identifies target devices that match the narrowing-down condition from among the lighting devices 10 that are detected within the wireless communication range from the communication device 20 (step S107). In addition, the terminal device 100 displays a list of the identified target devices (step S108).

[0064] The terminal device 100 also receives from the user a selection of a selected device to be selected as an inspection target from among the target devices (step S109). The terminal device 100 also receives from the user a setting of a recording condition for recording the inspection result of the radio wave reception strength of the selected device (step S110). The terminal device 100 also transmits a measurement start command to the communication device 20 (step S111).

[0065] When the communication device 20 receives the measurement start command from the terminal device 100, it repeatedly measures the radio wave reception strength in accordance with the measurement start command until the measurement end time arrives (step S112), and transmits the measurement data to the terminal device 100 (step S113).

[0066] When the terminal device 100 receives the measurement data from the communication device 20, it stores the test results of the reception strength of the selected device in a memory unit (for example, the test result memory unit 151 shown in Figure 5) in accordance with the recording conditions set prior to conducting the test (step S114).

[0067] (Terminal device processing) The following describes the flow of processing by the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment. Fig. 8 shows an example of a processing procedure by the terminal device 100 according to the embodiment.

[0068] 8, when the display control unit 163 receives a log display request from a user (step S201), it acquires information on the test results from the test result storage unit 151 according to the extraction conditions specified by the user in the log display request (step S202). In addition, the display control unit 163 causes the display unit 120 to display the acquired information on the test results (step S203), and ends the processing procedure shown in FIG.

[0069] <<Other>> In the above embodiment, the information processing system 1 may not include the communication device 20. In this case, the terminal device 100 may have the functions of the communication device 20 for executing the information processing according to the embodiment.
