A hub includes a hub body having a speaker for outputting sound; a communication module disposed in the hub body and wirelessly communicating with peripheral devices; a hub base for supporting the hub body at a lower side thereof; a cover coupled to an upper part of the hub body and displaying, on an upper surface thereof, an interface screen formed on the basis of the information transmitted and received through the communication module; and a grille formed in the shape of a vertically long cylinder, which has a plurality of through-holes, such that the hub body is disposed therein, the upper end is coupled to the cover, and the lower end is coupled to the hub base.

Hub for communication network, and manufacturing method therefor

An accessory includes a main body including a communication module that is configured to communicate with a predetermined network, and a container including a main body-coupling portion that is configured to separably couple to the main body. The main body includes at least one of (i) a remote control module that is configured to transmit an optical signal for controlling a predetermined apparatus within a predetermined range or (ii) a sensor module that is configured to sense information about a surrounding environment. The container includes an external coupling portion that is configured to couple the container to an external object.

Accessory having a communication function for Internet of Things

An accessory includes a main body including a communication module that is configured to communicate with a predetermined network, and a container having a main body-coupling portion that is located at an upper side of the container and that is configured to separably couple to the main body. The main body includes an exposed portion that is positioned at an upper part of the main body and exposed to an outside of the main body based on the main body being coupled to the container, and a side member that defines a side surface of the exposed portion. An upper end of the side member has an outer corner facing outward from a central axis of the main body. The outer corner of the upper end of the side member defines an upper edge of the main body, the outer corner having a predetermined curvature.

Accessory communication device

An accessory includes a main body including a communication module that is configured to communicate with a predetermined network, and a container including a main body-coupling portion that is located at an upper portion of the container and configured to separably couple to the main body. The main body includes an upper edge extending along a circumference of a first predetermined figure, and the container includes a lower edge extending along a circumference of a third predetermined figure. Based on the main body being coupled to the container, one of the upper edge of the main body and the lower edge of the container is located closer to a central axis passing the main body in a vertical direction than the other of the upper edge of the main body and the lower edge of the container.

Accessory

An accessory has a main body that includes a case that defines an external appearance of the main body, a main switch located within the case and configured to be pushed downward, and an elastic operation portion that is located vertically above the main switch and extends radially outward toward an inner surface of the case, the elastic operation portion being configured to elastically deform downward to thereby push the main switch. The elastic operation portion includes a middle part located vertically above the main switch, a first bent part extending radially outward from a first end of the middle part, the first bent part having a first curvature that is convex downward, and a second bent part extending radially outward from a second end of the middle part opposite the first end, the second bent part having a second curvature that is convex downward.

Accessory assembly

An accessory includes a main body that includes a communication module that is configured to communicate with a predetermined network, and a container including a main body-coupling portion that is located at an upper portion of the container and configured to separably couple to the main body, the container being made of a material that is able to be injection-molded. The container includes an outer portion that is exposed to an outside of the container based on the main body being coupled to the container, and an inner portion that is recessed downward to thereby define the main body-coupling portion, the inner portion including a bottom portion that defines a bottom surface of the inner portion, and an inclined portion that extends upward from a circumference of the bottom surface and outward with respect to a central axis passing through the container in a vertical direction.

Accessory having a communication function for internet of things

An accessory includes a main body including a communication module configured to communicate with a predetermined network, and a transmission member that includes a window exposed to an outside and configured to pass a predetermined optical signal. The main body further includes an optical signal light-emitting unit located inward of the window of the transmission member and configured to emit the predetermined optical signal in a transmission direction, and a side member defining a circumferential external appearance of the main body and including an inclined surface that slopes with respect to a central axis passing through the main body in a vertical direction and that defines a transmission member location hole configured to receive the transmission member. The window includes a central part parallel with the central axis, and the predetermined optical signal emitted from the optical signal light-emitting unit perpendicularly passes through the central part.
