NETWORK SELF-HEALING METHOD AND SYSTEM USING LIGHTING DEVICES
First Claim
1. A network self-healing method using lighting devices, comprising:
- providing a plurality of lighting devices, each lighting device including a WI-FI module with a wireless access point (AP) function, wherein the plurality of lighting devices is wirelessly connected to a wireless router;
scanning, by the plurality of lighting devices, a service set identifier (SSID) of the wireless router to confirm that the wireless router is not able to be connected to and to switch to a self-healing networking mode;
activating the wireless AP function of each lighting device, according to a self-healing networking rule selecting one lighting device from the plurality of lighting devices, and using the selected lighting device as a first lighting device router; and
deactivating the wireless AP function of each of other non-selected lighting devices remaining in the plurality of lighting devices, and wirelessly connecting the other non-selected lighting devices to the first lighting device router respectively.

Abstract
The present invention provides a network self-healing method and system using lighting devices each including a WI-FI module with a wireless access point (AP) function. The lighting devices are wirelessly connected to a wireless router. The lighting devices scan a service set identifier (SSID) of the wireless router to confirm that the wireless router is not able to be connected to and to switch to a self-healing networking mode. The wireless AP function of each lighting device is activated according to a self-healing networking rule. One lighting device is selected from the lighting devices and is used as a first lighting device router. The wireless AP function of each of other non-selected lighting devices remaining in the plurality of lighting devices is deactivated, and wirelessly connected to the first lighting device router respectively.
