SMART METER SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT ROUTER, AND METER
First Claim
1. A smart meter system adapted to IPv6 comprising:
- a management router configured to relay communication between a host network and a subordinate mesh network; and
a plurality of meters configured to establish the mesh network in conjunction with the management router, whereinthe management router performs control for performing a prefix information delegation request for requesting the management server, which is connected through the host network, to delegate management of prefix information of an address usable in the mesh network, receiving, as a response to the prefix information delegation request, prefix information management delegation, which is prefix information in a range of management delegation to the management router, from the management server, and delegating the management of the prefix information within a range of management delegation from the management server in response to a prefix information delegation request from the meter, andthe meter performs control for transmitting a prefix information delegation request to the management router, receiving prefix information management delegation from the management router as a response to the prefix information delegation request, and notifying a home apparatus in a home network connected to the meter of the prefix information, the management of which is delegated from the management router.

Abstract
Management routers perform control for performing a prefix information delegation request for requesting a management server to delegate the management of prefix information, receiving, as a response to the prefix information delegation request, prefix information management delegation from the management server, and delegating the management of the prefix information within a range of management delegation from the management server in response to a prefix information delegation request from meters. The meters perform control for transmitting a prefix information delegation request to the management routers, receiving prefix information management delegation from the management routers as a response to the prefix information delegation request, and notifying a home apparatus in a home network connected to the meters of the prefix information, the management of which is delegated from the management routers.

22. A management router in a smart meter system adapted to IPv6 including the management router configured to relay communication between a host network and a subordinate mesh network and a plurality of meters configured to establish the mesh network in conjunction with the management router,
the management router performing control for performing a prefix information delegation request for requesting the management server, which is connected through the host network, to delegate management of prefix information of an address usable in the mesh network, receiving, as a response to the prefix information delegation request, prefix information management delegation, which is prefix information in a range of management delegation to the management router, from the management server, and delegating the management of the prefix information within a range of management delegation from the management server in response to a prefix information delegation request from the meter.

37. A meter in a smart meter system adapted to IPv6 including a management router configured to relay communication between a host network and a subordinate mesh network and a plurality of meters configured to establish the mesh network in conjunction with the management router,
the meter performing control for transmitting a prefix information delegation request to the management router, receiving prefix information management delegation from the management router as a response to the prefix information delegation request, and notifying a home apparatus in a home network connected to the meter of the prefix information, management of which is delegated from the management router.
