  • Patent number: 11362864
    Abstract: A communication system includes a first local area network (LAN), a first router that is operatively coupled to the first LAN, a second local area network (LAN), a second router that is operatively coupled to the second LAN, and a communication network that facilitates communication between the first router and the second router. The first router includes a communication control device having at least one processor that transmits first information indicating a connection relation of a first communication relay device to the first communication relay device connected via the Internet. The processor also receives the first information from the first communication relay device. The processor also causes connection information in accordance with the received information indicating the connection relation of the first communication relay device to be displayed on a display unit.

  • Patent number: 10985991
    Abstract: A relay device acquires network topology data representing a network topology that includes a connection relationship of each relay device and a connection relationship of a terminal device connected to each relay device in a local area network (LAN), and displays, on a display device, an image of a tree structure in which each relay device included in the LAN corresponds to a node, as an image of the network topology represented by the acquired network topology data. The relay device displays, on the display device, the image of the tree structure in which a node corresponding to a relay device designated in advance among the relay devices included in the LAN and nodes of up to directly below the designated node are set as a drawing target.
