Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When an optical fiber line is wired and drawn to each household, in an existing building, when changing to a high-speed line, it is necessary to perform construction in the shared part and the condominium part of the building. In particular, in an existing building in an apartment house such as a condominium, it is not easy to perform line change work in the condominium part. In addition, in an existing building of steel frame reinforced concrete or reinforced concrete, a metal mesh is embedded in the wall surface, and the steel frame, reinforcing bars, and metal mesh become a major obstacle to wireless communication between the outside and the inside. Therefore, currently, a wired line such as optical communication is drawn and used up to each household in the condominium part. In particular, in an apartment building such as a condominium, when each household uses a WiFi access point freely selected for each condominium unit, due to differences in radio wave channel strength in each household, the WiFi in use may be disconnected or interfered with by the influence of the same radio wave channel or adjacent radio wave channels with high intensity, resulting in a situation where it cannot be used properly. For example, in the 2.4 GHz band, there are only 14 radio wave channels. Even in a condominium with only 14 households, the probability that each household uses a different radio wave channel is extremely low. If there are 15 or more households, the same radio wave channel or adjacent radio wave channels will surely be used, and there is a risk of radio wave interference occurring in one of the households. In Patent Document 1, since it targets high-rise buildings under construction, ground-side access points can be installed on the ground side so as to surround the high-rise building. However, in existing buildings, there is not necessarily installation space around the entire building.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an access point installation method capable of performing wireless communication indoors in a building made of steel frame reinforced concrete or reinforced concrete by using the glass window of the building without pulling wiring into the condominium units indoors.

In the first antenna installation step, the first antenna is installed facing the upper floor of the access point wall, and in the second antenna installation step, the second antenna is installed facing the lower floor of the access point wall. According to this embodiment, by determining the wall surface with the largest total glass window area among a plurality of wall surfaces constituting the building as the access point wall, and determining, as access points, a position extended from the access point wall on the rooftop of the building and a position at a predetermined height from the ground on the access point wall side on the ground adjacent to the building, and installing the first antenna installed on the rooftop of the building facing the upper floor and the second antenna installed on the ground adjacent to the building facing the lower floor, communication can be performed indoors in a building of steel frame reinforced concrete or reinforced concrete without using indoor wiring. Further, since each household can share the use of the WiFi radio channel supplied from the antenna installed by the access point installation method of the present invention, the use of the WiFi access point independently selected by each household is reduced, and the occurrence of radio wave interference due to differences in radio wave channel intensity can be prevented.

Example

[0018] Hereinafter, an access point installation method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the access point installation method according to this embodiment. FIG. 1(a) is a front conceptual diagram of the building, FIG. 1(b) is a top conceptual diagram of the same building, and FIG. 1(c) is a side conceptual diagram of the same building. The access point installation method according to this embodiment targets a building 10 in which a metal material such as a steel frame reinforced concrete, a reinforced concrete, or a metal mesh is used, and enables wireless communication indoors in the building 10. The building 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a four-story condominium composed of four wall surfaces: a south wall surface 10s, a north wall surface 10n, an east wall surface 10e, and a west wall surface 10w. In the application of the present invention, the building 10 is preferably two stories or more and ten stories or less, and more preferably four stories or more and six stories or less. The building 10 has a shared space 11 composed of an entrance and a manager's room. The shared space 11 is equipped with a repeater 31. On the rooftop 12 of the building 10, a first antenna 21a serving as a first access point 21 is installed, and on the ground adjacent to the building 10, a second antenna 22a serving as a second access point 22 is installed. As shown in the figure, it is preferable to further install a third antenna 23a serving as a third access point 23 at a position at a predetermined height from the ground on the side of the shared space 11 of the building 10, which is the ground adjacent to the building 10.

[0019] The first LAN cable 41 connects the repeater 31 and the first access point 21, the second LAN cable 42 connects the repeater 31 and the second access point 22, and the third LAN cable 43 connects the repeater 31 and the third access point 23. The first LAN cable 41 passes through the pipe space or the wall surface installed in the building 10, and the second LAN cable 42 and the third LAN cable 43 pass through the pipe buried in the ground or the ground. Here, the pipe space is a space where pipes such as main water supply pipes, drainage pipes, and gas pipes are arranged, and is a space provided vertically from the first floor to the top floor. The branched pipe spaces branched to each room are not included in the pipe space in this embodiment.

[0020] Figure 2 is a flowchart showing the access point installation method according to this embodiment. In S1, the south wall surface 10s with the largest total area of the glass windows 13 (see FIG. 1) is determined as the access point wall surface 10s from among the plurality of wall surfaces 10s, 10n, 10e, 10w constituting the building 10 (access point wall surface determination step). Here, the south wall surface 10s with the largest total area of the glass windows 13 is usually the wall surface where the balcony 14 (see FIG. 1) is installed, and it faces southward in many cases, but the orientation varies depending on the location conditions of the building 10.

[0021] In S2, at the rooftop 12 of the building 10, the position extended from the access point wall surface 10s is determined as the first access point position (first access point position determination step). In S3, a position at a predetermined height from the ground adjacent to the building 10 and on the side of the access point wall surface 10s is determined as the second access point position (second access point position determination step). In S4, a position at a predetermined height from the ground adjacent to the building 10 and on the side of the shared space 11 of the building 10 is determined as the third access point position (third access point position determination step).

[0022] In S5, a first antenna 21a that becomes the first access point 21 is installed at the first access point position (first antenna installation step). In the first antenna installation step in S5, the first antenna 21a is installed facing the upper floors of the access point wall surface 10s. In the case of a four-story building, the third and fourth floors are the upper floors, and in the case of a six-story building, the fourth to sixth floors are the upper floors. In S6, a second antenna 22a that becomes the second access point 22 is installed at the second access point position (second antenna installation step). In the second antenna installation step in S6, the second antenna 22a is installed facing the lower floors of the access point wall surface 10s. In the case of a four-story building, the first and second floors are the lower floors, and in the case of a six-story building, the first to third floors are the lower floors. In S7, a third antenna 23a that becomes the third access point 23 is installed at the third access point position (third antenna installation step). In the third antenna installation step in S7, the third antenna 23a is installed facing the lower floors of the shared space 11 and the access point wall surface 10s.

[0023] In S8, the repeater 31 and the first access point 21 are connected by a first LAN cable 41, the repeater 31 and the second access point 22 are connected by a second LAN cable 42, and the repeater 31 and the third access point 23 are connected by a third LAN cable 43 (LAN cable wiring step). The first LAN cable 41 passes through the pipe space or wall surface installed in the building 10, and the second LAN cable 42 and the third LAN cable 43 pass through the pipes buried underground or the ground. In S9, on the access point wall surface 10s side corresponding to the condominium unit of the building 10, a door-specific antenna 50 (see FIGS. 3, 4, and 5) and a door-specific repeater 60 installed indoors are installed (door-specific antenna installation step). In S10, as shown in FIG. 6, a signal converter 33, a repeater 31, a controller 37, and a surveillance camera 36 are connected to a remote remote switch 35 that performs on / off control using a communication line 34 different from the external communication line 32, and any one of a first access point 21, a second access point 22, and a third access point 23, and a surveillance camera 36, and a controller 37 for checking the operation of the repeater 31 are installed in the shared space 11 of the building 10 (installation step of control and monitoring devices).

[0024] FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the installation state of the door-specific antenna on the balcony side according to this embodiment. For example, when the number of floors of the building 10 increases and communication indoors is not sufficient with only the first access point 21 and the second access point 22, by installing the door-specific antenna 50 on the access point wall surface 10s side, communication indoors can be ensured. FIG. 3(a) shows a door-specific antenna 51 installed on a balcony 14 formed by extending outward from a glass window 13. Since the balcony 14 is formed by extending outward from the glass window 13, communication can be ensured. Also, by installing it on the balcony 14, the door-specific antenna 51 can be easily installed. FIG. 3(b) shows a door-specific antenna 52 installed on the outdoor glass surface of the glass window 13. A seal antenna is suitable for the door-specific antenna 52 installed on the glass window 13. By installing the door-specific antenna 52 on the outdoor glass surface of the glass window 13, the installation of the door-specific antenna 52 can be easily performed. Note that the door-specific antenna 52 may be installed on the window frame of the glass window 13 or the wall surface on the balcony 14 side. When installed on the wall surface, it is preferably installed around a ventilation opening or an opening for the duct of an air conditioner.

[0025] In this way, when the door - specific antenna 51 is installed on the balcony 14 or the door - specific antenna 52 is installed on the outdoor glass surface of the glass window 13, the cable 70 can be drawn into the room using the ventilation opening or the duct opening of the air - conditioning device. Further, as shown in Fig. 3(b), when the door - specific antenna 52 is installed on the outdoor glass surface of the glass window 13, a connector 71 is provided on the cable 70 arranged outdoors. The connector 71 is preferably detachable by opening and closing the glass window 13.

[0026] Fig. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing the installation state on the indoor side of the door - specific antenna according to this embodiment. The door - specific antenna 50 installed on the balcony 14 or the glass window 13 is connected to the door - specific repeater 60 installed indoors. The door - specific antenna 50 and the door - specific repeater 60 are connected by a coaxial cable or the like.

[0027] Fig. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing another installation state on the indoor side of the door - specific antenna according to this embodiment. In Fig. 5, the door - specific antenna 52 is installed on the indoor glass surface of the glass window 13. A seal antenna is suitable for the door - specific antenna 52 installed on the glass window 13. By installing the door - specific antenna 52 on the indoor glass surface of the glass window 13, the installation of the door - specific antenna 52 can be easily performed. When the door - specific antenna 52 is installed on the indoor glass surface of the glass window 13, a connector 71 is provided on the cable 70. The connector 71 is preferably detachable by opening and closing the glass window 13. Note that the door - specific antenna 52 may be installed on the window frame of the glass window 13 or the indoor wall surface. When installed on the wall surface, it is preferably installed near the glass window 13.

[0028] Fig. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing the configuration of the control and monitoring device according to this embodiment. In the shared space 11 of the building 10, a signal converter 33 connected to the external communication line 32, a repeater 31, a controller 37, and a monitoring camera 36 are installed. The repeater 31 connects the signal converter 33 to the first access point 21, connects the signal converter 33 to the second access point 22, and connects the signal converter 33 to the third access point 23. The surveillance camera 36 is connected to any one of the first access point 21, the second access point 22, and the third access point 23. The controller 37 checks the operating status such as communication speed, traffic volume, and number of connected devices in the repeater 31, and the on / off operations of each access point 21, 22, 23, and performs the on / off operations of the access points 21, 22, 23. The remote switch 35 controls the signal converter 33, the repeater 31, the surveillance camera 36, and the controller 37 to turn on and off using a communication line 34 different from the external communication line 32. By turning on and off the repeater 31 by the remote switch 35, each access point 21, 22, 23 connected to the repeater 31 is turned on and off. The remote switch 35 is connected to the communication line 34 by using a WiFi router 38.

[0029] With such a configuration, the remote monitoring device 39 can grasp the video of the monitoring camera 36 via the external communication line 32. If the video of the monitoring camera 36 is in a stopped state, it can be determined that there is a problem with the communication status of the first access point 21, the second access point 22, and the third access point 23. Also, the remote monitoring device 39 can grasp the operation or stop of each access point 21, 22, 23 by the controller 37 via the external communication line 32. Therefore, the connection status of the monitoring camera 36 and the operation or stop of each access point 21, 22, 23 can be confirmed by the remote monitoring device 39 at a remote location. By giving an instruction from the remote monitoring device 39, the remote remote switch 35 can turn on and off the signal converter 33, the repeater 31, and the controller 37 to restore communication. Note that since the first access point 21, the second access point 22, and the third access point 23 can be turned on and off by turning the repeater 31 on and off, the problems of the first access point 21, the second access point 22, and the third access point 23 can also be restored. Also, the monitoring camera 36 can be turned on and off by the remote remote switch 35.

[0030] In this way, the south wall surface 10S, which has the largest total area of the glass window 13 among the plurality of wall surfaces 10s, 10n, 10e, 10w constituting the building 10, is determined as the access point wall surface 10s. On the roof 12 of the building 10, the position extended from the access point wall surface 10s and on the ground adjacent to the building 10, the position at a predetermined height from the ground on the access point wall surface 10s side are determined as access points. By installing the first antenna 21a installed on the roof 12 of the building 10 facing the upper floors and the second antenna 22a installed on the ground adjacent to the building 10 facing the lower floors, communication can be performed indoors in a building 10 of steel frame reinforced concrete or reinforced concrete without using indoor wiring. In addition, since each household can share the WiFi radio wave channels supplied from the antennas installed by the access point installation method of the present invention, the use of the WiFi access points independently selected by each household is reduced, and the occurrence of radio wave interference due to differences in radio wave channel strength can be prevented. Also, according to the present embodiment, by further installing the third antenna 23a, communication indoors in the building 10 can be ensured. Also, according to the present embodiment, the first LAN cable 41 is wired using the pipe space or wall surface of the building 10, and the second LAN cable 42 and the third LAN cable 43 are buried underground or passed through the ground, so that wiring can be performed without entering the condominium portion of the building 10, and the burden of wiring work is small. In the above embodiment, the first access point 21, the second access point 22, and the third access point 23 are preferably in mesh WiFi connection. By using mesh WiFi connection, even if the communication of any one of the first access point 21, the second access point 22, and the third access point 23 is insufficient, communication indoors can be enabled.

[0031] FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing an access point installation method according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7(a) is a front conceptual diagram of a building, and FIG. 7(b) is a top conceptual diagram of the same building. Note that the same reference numerals are given to the same functions as in the above embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. The south wall surface 10s with the most glass windows 13 among the plurality of wall surfaces 10s, 10n, 10e, 10w constituting the building 10 is determined as the access point wall surface 10s. Then, on the rooftop 12 of the building 10, on the side of the access point wall surface 10s, a plurality of antennas 21w, 21x, 21y, 21z are installed, and the antennas 21w, 21x, 21y, 21z are installed facing the ground. Each of the antennas 21w, 21x, 21y, 21z is preferably arranged between adjacent balconies 14 and between adjacent condominium portions. The antennas 21w, 21x, 21y, 21z may be arranged at positions extending from the access point wall surface 10s.

[0032] According to this embodiment, a communication environment that is less affected by the floors of the building 10 can be realized. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, it is preferable to install the room-specific antenna 50 on the side of the access point wall surface 10s corresponding to the condominium unit of the building 10. The room-specific antenna 50 is connected to the room-specific repeater 60 installed indoors. Although not shown, each of the antennas 21w, 21x, 21y, and 21z is connected to the access point and has the device configuration shown in FIG. 6. In this embodiment, the antennas 21w, 21x, 21y, and 21z are provided only on the access point wall surface 10s. However, in addition to the access point wall surface 10s, by installing the antennas 21w, 21x, 21y, and 21z facing the ground on the wall surfaces 10w, 10e, and 10n having the glass windows 13 other than the access point wall surface 10s, wireless communication can be performed for the condominium units that do not have the glass window 13 on the access point wall surface 10s. Also, depending on the condominium unit, the radio wave may be weak, and when it is necessary to perform wireless communication even in a living room far from the glass window, a room-specific repeater 60 may be further installed indoors.

Industrial Applicability
