  The speed measurement value control unit 103 is connected to each unit, and comprehensively controls the measurement of the communication speed.

  The measurement server information storage unit 104 stores speed measurement server information indicating position information (URL or IP address) for accessing a plurality of speed measurement servers arranged on the network. In addition, the measurement server information storage unit 104 stores and holds the result of speed measurement performed with each speed measurement server. The measurement server information storage unit 104 stores and holds an average value obtained by averaging the speeds measured for each of the plurality of speed measurement servers measured according to the selection.

  The provisioning data storage unit 105 stores setting data (provisioning information: server-initiated setting data) related to the communication speed measurement of the router device 100 received from a provisioning server operated by a provider (ISP) or a carrier arranged on the network. Hold. The provisioning data storage unit 105 and the measurement server information storage unit 104 are linked, and when the provisioning information is updated, the speed measurement server information is updated.

  The trigger button 106 is a physical button provided in the router device 100, and the speed measurement value control unit 103 or the like recognizes that it has been pressed. The trigger button 106 is operated by the user to access the speed measurement server 120 existing on the network. The router device 100 can receive a trigger signal from a personal computer or the like via a LAN instead of the trigger button. Also, a Web page that can be operated from the local side may be disclosed on the LAN and receive a trigger from a personal computer or the like.

  The router control unit 108 is a control unit that provides the router function of the router device 100. The router control unit 108 transmits the IP packet flowing into the WAN interface 101 and the LAN interface 107 to an appropriate destination according to the routing table or the like.

  Next, the operation | movement concerning the communication speed measurement of the router apparatus 100 is demonstrated.

FIG. 3 shows the speed measurement sequence of the present invention.
The router device 100 issues an authentication challenge to the provisioning server 130 at a predetermined timing (S101). The provisioning server 130 performs an authentication process and notifies the result (S102).

  When the router apparatus 100 is authenticated, the router apparatus 100 notifies the provisioning server 130 of a provisioning request (S103). Upon receiving the provisioning request, the provisioning server 130 notifies the router apparatus 100 of the position information, name, etc. of the predetermined speed measurement server 120 as provisioning information (S104). The router apparatus 100 records and holds the notified information in the storage unit.

  At this time, the provisioning server 130 performs processing for identifying the contractor and the contract contents using authentication, IP address, and the like, selects a speed measurement server suitable for the accessing router device 100, and notifies the information. Further, a protocol, a port number, communication software, etc. may be designated.

  Thereafter, when the user presses the trigger button 106 at an arbitrary timing, the router device 100 takes out the position information (stored position information) of the specified speed measurement server from the measurement server information storage unit 104, Connect to the speed measurement server 120 (S105, S106), measure the file transfer and the time taken for the file transfer, calculate the measurement result speed and generate the measurement result (S107). At this time, the router device 100 stores and holds the date and time of speed measurement in association with the calculated speed as a measurement result in the storage unit. Note that the communication speed and stability may be measured by a method different from the above method.

  Thereafter, the router device 100 releases the connection with the speed measurement server 120 and ends the speed measurement process (S108, S109). At the same time, the router device 100 displays the measurement result.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the speed measurement process of the router device 100.
When the trigger button 106 is pressed, the speed measurement value control unit 103 of the router device 100 starts the speed measurement process (S210).

  In the speed measurement process (S220), the speed measurement value control unit 103 extracts position information (URL and the like) related to the speed measurement server to be connected from the measurement server information storage unit 104 (S221), and connects to the speed measurement server 120 (S222). ). When the uplink speed is measured (S223), the data file or the like is transmitted to the speed measurement server 120, and the uplink data speed measurement is executed (S224). When the downlink speed is measured (S225), a data file or the like is received from the speed measurement server 120, and the downlink data speed measurement is executed (S226).

  The speed measurement value control unit 103 displays the measurement result on the measurement result display unit 102 (S230).

  Next, a storage example of speed measurement server information and a display example of measurement results will be shown.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the measurement server information storage unit 104 records server names corresponding to a plurality of speed measurement servers, position information (addresses) of each server, measurement date and time, and results thereof.

Further, the display of the measurement result may be indicated by characters or symbols using an LCD as shown in FIG. 6, or may be indicated by lighting or colors of LEDs as shown in FIG. In addition, since the required communication speed and stability may be different for each communication protocol and service, they may be displayed separately. For classifying services, for example, by referring to protocols and port numbers, it is possible to classify moving image distribution services, P2P services, and the like.
Note that even if a method other than the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is used, if the measurement result display unit is provided so that it can be read from the external appearance of the router device, for example, the stability and speed can be adjusted by changing the color of the LED. It may be in the form of displaying sex.

  Next, a method for the user who manages the router apparatus 100 to select a desired speed measurement server 120, specific file data, communication protocol, and the like to measure the communication speed will be described with reference to the example of FIG. To do.

The user designates a desired communication speed measurement to the provisioning server 130 via a personal computer owned by the user.
At this time, an authentication challenge is performed from the personal computer to the provisioning server 130 (S301), and if the authentication is successful (S302), a provisioning request including the specified content of the desired communication speed measurement is transmitted (S303, S304). .
The provisioning server 130 checks whether or not the requester is a user of the router device 100 as necessary (S305, S306), and transmits provisioning data (S307). The confirmation as to whether or not the user is a user may be password authentication or the like, or the request may be accepted only at the time of communication via the router device 100 that has requested the provisioning information.

  The router device 100 receives the transmitted provisioning data, and stores and holds the provisioning data in the provisioning data storage unit 105. Thereafter, the user confirms that the provisioning data has arrived, and then via a browser or a trigger button of the computer. The router apparatus 100 (speed measurement value control unit 103) is instructed to measure speed.

As mentioned above, according to this embodiment, there exist the following effects.
The first effect is that measurement that does not depend on the performance of a personal computer or the like connected to the local side of the router device can be performed for network speed measurement. This is because the speed measurement value control unit provided in the router device measures the speed with the designated speed measurement server arranged on the network via the WAN interface. Further, since the value measured according to the measurement content specified by the provider or the like is referred to compared with the value measured by the speed measurement server selected subjectively by the user, the reliability is improved as the communication speed measurement value.

  The second effect is that a network provider or operator can automatically specify a speed measurement server arranged in a network used for speed measurement. This is because the speed measurement server is dynamically changed by updating the provisioning data storage unit provided in the router device by the provisioning server operated by the provider or the like. That is, since the user has to select a speed measurement server using a personal computer as in the existing method, the operability is improved. Further, since the measurement is started by pressing a trigger button provided in the router device as an opportunity to perform the speed measurement and the result is displayed on the display unit, the operability is improved.

Next, another embodiment will be described.
In the previous embodiment, when the trigger button 106 is pressed, the router device 100 connects to the speed measurement server 120 and performs speed measurement based on the position information designated by the provisioning server 130 and the like.

On the other hand, the present embodiment takes a form in which a measurement scheduler unit 110 is added to the router device 100 as shown in FIG.
As shown in the schedule illustrated in FIG. 10, the measurement scheduler unit 110 is connected to the speed measurement server 120 associated with the time at the time when the speed measurement is performed, and performs the communication speed measurement. Also at this time, a protocol or the like may be designated as necessary. After measuring the communication speed, the measurement result display unit 102 displays the speed measurement result that changes with time. The schedule may be specified by the provisioning server 130 or set by the user.

  In this way, it is possible to automatically measure the speed and display the result immediately at the timing desired by the user. Further, the display may indicate an available time zone for each service. Further, in addition to the values measured according to the schedule, execution of speed measurement at that time may be started simultaneously, and the result may be displayed.

  Another embodiment will be further described.

In this embodiment, the router device 100 or the provisioning server 130 is provided with means for collecting user communication history, and the provisioning server selects a suitable communication speed server based on the collected history.
More specifically, the router device 100 records and maintains a communication history related to the communication speed and stability corresponding to each terminal (PC, game machine, TV, mobile phone, etc.) connected to the local side in the past. A storage unit is provided. The communication history related to the communication speed includes a communication time zone, protocol, communication destination, application used, service, error rate, and the like.

  The provisioning server 130 obtains a communication history from the router device 100, and performs provisioning in response to a communication prediction estimated from the communication history in order to respond to a request for communication speed measurement (at a desired communication timing) from the user.

  In other words, the provisioning server 130 connects to the router device 100 based on the acquired communication history so that the communication speed and stability adapted to the communication that the user will use can be displayed at a timing desired by the user. The speed measurement server 120 is selected, and provisioning information is provided to the router device 100 in correspondence with the selected speed measurement server 120.

  The above estimation may be performed for a terminal connected to the router device 100. The newly connected terminal may use the information if there is a past communication history, and display the speed measurement result as described above if there is no communication history.

  By constructing the system in this way, it is possible to display the speed result corresponding to the service or protocol that the user would like at the timing when the user causes the router device 100 to measure the speed.

  Note that each unit of the router device may be realized using a combination of hardware and software. In a form in which hardware and software are combined, a speed measurement program is developed in the RAM, and hardware such as a CPU is operated based on the program.

  To explain the above embodiment in another expression, a network termination device that operates as a router device, a storage unit that stores various information related to measurement of communication speed, together with various normal functions, and a speed that is developed in the RAM The router apparatus according to the present invention can be provided by additionally providing a speed measurement value control unit that operates based on the measurement program.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a router device capable of improving the operability of the user as well as improving the accuracy of the network speed measurement.

  In addition, the specific configuration of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and changes within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention.
