Abstract

Provided is a future internet service providing method. An open access point registers information of the open access point in a reconfiguration server comprised in an internet, when the open access point accesses the Internet. The open access point registers information of a mergence node accessing the open access point, in the reconfiguration server. The open access point provides sensing information of the mergence node to a terminal, when the terminal requests the sensing information of the mergence node. A terminal requests providing of service type information to a domain name server. The terminal selects a service type for providing of internet service from among the service type list when a service type list is received from the domain name server, in response to the request. The terminal requests sensing information to an open access point capable of providing of the selected service type. The terminal provides internet service having the selected service type on the basis of the sensing information.

Claims

1. An open access point comprising:

a node sensor sensing a mergence node;

a resource management unit managing information of a unit network which comprises the sensed mergence node;

a profile unit registering the information of the unit network in a reconfiguration server when accessing an internet; and

a sensing information processor providing sensing information, which is received from the mergence node, to a terminal when the terminal requests the sensing information of the unit network.

2. The open access point of claim 1, wherein the profile unit accesses the internet in a plug and play scheme for allowing the reconfiguration server to automatically recognize the open access point.

3. The open access point of claim 1, wherein the information of the unit network comprises information of the open access point, and information of a mergence node accessing the open access point.

4. The open access point of claim 1, wherein the sensing information comprises at least one of a sensing value which is obtained by measuring surrounding factors through a sensor comprised in the mergence node and operation information of the sensor.

5. A terminal comprising:

a service type request unit requesting service type information to a domain name server, and receiving a service type list corresponding to the service type request from the domain name server;

a user input unit receiving a user selection signal for selecting a service type from among the service type list;

an internet service request unit requesting sensing information to an open access point having a service type which corresponds to the user selection signal; and

an internet service driver receiving sensing information from the open access point and providing internet service on the basis of the sensing information, according to the sensing information request.

6. The terminal of claim 5, wherein the service type list comprises a service type of each of open access points, and an address for accessing the each open access point.

7. An internet service providing method of an open access point, the internet service providing method comprising:

registering information of the open access point in a reconfiguration server comprised in an internet, when the open access point accesses the internet;

registering information of a mergence node accessing the open access point, in the reconfiguration server; and

providing sensing information of the mergence node to a terminal, when the terminal requests the sensing information of the mergence node.

8. The internet service providing method of claim 7, wherein the registering of information of the open access point comprises:

accessing the internet in a plug and play scheme for allowing the reconfiguration server to automatically recognize the open access point, and registering the information of the open access point in the reconfiguration server.

9. The internet service providing method of claim 7, wherein the registering of information of the open access point comprises:

registering the information of the open access point in the reconfiguration server by using unique address information of the open access point.

10. The internet service providing method of claim 9, wherein the registering information of a mergence node comprises:

registering the mergence node in the reconfiguration server by using at least one of an address and name of the mergence node.

11. The internet service providing method of claim 9, wherein the sensing information comprises at least one of a sensing value, which is obtained by measuring surrounding factors through a sensor comprised in the mergence node, and operation information of the sensor.

12. The internet service providing method of claim 9, further comprising:

updating the information of the mergence node in a sensing table, and transmitting the updated sensing table to the reconfiguration server to register the newly-registered mergence node, when a new-registration-requested mergence nod exists in the open access point.

13. The internet service providing method of claim 9, further comprising:

configuring one unit network which comprises the open access point and mergence nodes accessing the open access point.

14. An internet service providing method of a terminal, the internet service providing method comprising:

requesting providing of service type information to a domain name server;

selecting a service type for providing of internet service from among the service type list when a service type list is received from the domain name server, in response to the request;

requesting sensing information to an open access point capable of providing of the selected service type; and

providing internet service having the selected service type on the basis of the sensing information.

15. The internet service providing method of claim 14, wherein the service type list comprises a service type of each of open access points, and an address for accessing the each open access point.
