Transmission control method and transmission control apparatus

A transmission control apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to:
• receive first data detected by a first sensor among a plurality of sensors and first identification information to identify the first sensor;
• specify a first sensor group corresponding to the first identification information by referring to first relation information in which sensor group identification to identify respective sensor groups is associated with one or more sensors which belong to the respective sensor groups;
• specify, by referring to second relation information in which a plurality of pieces of transmitted data, which are detected by one or more sensors of the respective sensor groups and of which transmission to a second information processing apparatus is completed, associated with the respective sensor groups, a first plurality of pieces of transmitted data corresponding to the first sensor group;
• determine whether the first plurality of pieces of transmitted data include the first data;
• when the first plurality of pieces of transmitted data include the first data, specify, by referring to third relation information in which transmitted data identification information is associated with the plurality of pieces of transmitted data, first transmitted data identification information corresponding to the first plurality of pieces of transmitted data;
• and
• transmit the first transmitted data identification information to the second information processing apparatus without transmitting the received first data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a transmission control program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

• receiving first data detected by a first sensor among a plurality of sensors and first identification information to identify the first sensor;
• specifying a first sensor group corresponding to the first identification information by referring to first relation information in which sensor group identification to identify respective sensor groups is associated with one or more sensors which belong to the respective sensor groups;
• specifying, by referring to second relation information in which a plurality of pieces of transmitted data, which are detected by one or more sensors of the respective sensor groups and of which transmission to a second information processing apparatus is completed, associated with the respective sensor groups, a first plurality of pieces of transmitted data corresponding to the first sensor group;
• determining whether the first plurality of pieces of transmitted data include the first data;
• when the first plurality of pieces of transmitted data include the first data, specifying, by referring to third relation information in which transmitted data identification information is associated with the plurality of pieces of transmitted data, first transmitted data identification information corresponding to the first plurality of pieces of transmitted data;
• and
• transmitting the first transmitted data identification information to the second information processing apparatus without transmitting the received first data.
