Abstract
A measuring device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a processor configured to acquire, from a sensor, a first, a second, a third and a fourth measurement result obtained by measuring a value related to information at time intervals using the sensor, transmit the first measurement and the second measurement result in a one-way communication packet during a first period from when the second measurement result is obtained until the third measurement result is obtained, and transmit the second and the third measurement result in the one-way communication packet during a second period from when the third measurement result is obtained until the fourth measurement result is obtained.
Claims6
A measuring device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory connected to the at least one processor;
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- acquire, from a sensor, a plurality of measurement results obtained by measuring a value related to information at time intervals using the sensor, the plurality of measurement results including a first measurement result, a second measurement result obtained after the first measurement result, a third measurement result obtained after the second measurement result, and a fourth measurement result obtained after the third measurement result;
- transmit a plurality of measurement results including the first measurement result and the second measurement result, in a one-way communication packet during a first period from when the second measurement result is obtained until the third measurement result is obtained;
- transmit a plurality of measurement results including the second measurement result and the third measurement result, in the one-way communication packet during a second period from when the third measurement result is obtained until the fourth measurement result is obtained;
- determine a transmission ratio indicating a number of packets used to transmit each measurement result with respect to a number of packets transmitted in one cycle;
- and
- set during the second period, a transmission ratio for the second measurement result to a value smaller than a value of a transmission ratio for the third measurement result.
A transmission method to be performed by a measuring device, the transmission method comprising:
- acquiring, from a sensor, a plurality of measurement results obtained by measuring a value related to information at time intervals using the sensor, the plurality of measurement results including a first measurement result, a second measurement result obtained after the first measurement result, a third measurement result obtained after the second measurement result, and a fourth measurement result obtained after the third measurement result;
- transmitting a plurality of measurement results including the first measurement result and the second measurement result, in a one-way communication packet during a first period from when the second measurement result is obtained until the third measurement result is obtained;
- transmitting a plurality of measurement results including the second measurement result and the third measurement result, in the one-way communication packet during a second period from when the third measurement result is obtained until the fourth measurement result is obtained;
- determining a transmission ratio indicating a number of packets used to transmit each measurement result with respect to a number of packets transmitted in one cycle;
- and
- setting during the second period, a transmission ratio for the second measurement result to a value smaller than a value of a transmission ratio for the third measurement result.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- acquiring, from a sensor, a plurality of measurement results obtained by measuring a value related to information at time intervals using the sensor, the plurality of measurement results including a first measurement result, a second measurement result obtained after the first measurement result, a third measurement result obtained after the second measurement result, and a fourth measurement result obtained after the third measurement result;
- transmitting a plurality of measurement results including the first measurement result and the second measurement result, in a one-way communication packet during a first period from when the second measurement result is obtained until the third measurement result is obtained;
- transmitting a plurality of measurement results including the second measurement result and the third measurement result, in the one-way communication packet during a second period from when the third measurement result is obtained until the fourth measurement result is obtained;
- determining a transmission ratio indicating a number of packets used to transmit each measurement result with respect to a number of packets transmitted in one cycle;
- and
- setting during the second period, a transmission ratio for the second measurement result to a value smaller than a value of a transmission ratio for the third measurement result.
