1. A first beacon device comprising:
- a first communication unit configured to connect with one or more other first beacon devices in a tree topology;
a second communication unit configured to connect with one or more second beacon devices; and
a controller configured to control a beacon signal,wherein the controller allocates one of preset usable frequencies as a communication channel for the one or more first beacon devices connected in the tree topology and allocates the one or more second beacon devices time slots for defining usable times of the usable frequency allocated to the one or more first beacon devices.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for setting a wireless mesh network and a computer-readable recording medium storing a program for carrying out the method, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for preventing interference between beacon devices by setting different channels for the beacon devices and distributing different time slots to the beacon devices, and a computer-readable recording medium storing a program for carrying out the method.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for executing a method for setting a wireless mesh network, the program, when executed by a first beacon device, causing the first beacon device to execute:
-
connecting a plurality of first beacon devices in a tree topology; allocating a plurality of preset usable frequencies as communication channels for the plurality of first beacon devices connected in the tree topology; connecting one or more second beacon devices to at least one of the plurality of first beacon devices connected in the tree topology; and allocating the one or more second beacon devices time slots for defining usable times of a usable frequency allocated to the at least one first beacon device connected in a higher layer than the one or more second beacon devices. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
