Abstract
A sensor management unit receives, from at least one sensor device installed external to the sensor management unit, sensing data generated by the sensor device monitoring a target. The sensing data includes background noise data representing noise from a cause other than the target. The sensor management unit includes a background noise data obtaining unit that obtains the background noise data, a reliability determination unit that determines a reliability of the sensing data based on the background noise data, and a determination result output unit that outputs a result of the determination by the reliability determination unit.
Claims18
A sensor management unit for receiving, from at least one sensor device installed external to the sensor management unit, sensing data generated by the at least one sensor device monitoring a target, the sensing data including background noise data representing noise from a cause other than the target, the sensor management unit comprising:
- a background noise data obtaining unit configured to obtain the background noise data;
- a reliability determination unit configured to determine a reliability of the sensing data based on the background noise data;
- and
- a determination result output unit configured to output a result of the determination performed by the reliability determination unit.
A sensing data evaluation method for evaluating sensing data received from at least one sensor device installed external to a sensor management unit, the sensing data being generated by the at least one sensor device monitoring a target and including background noise data representing noise from a cause other than the target, the method implementable by a computer, the method comprising:
- obtaining the background noise data;
- determining a reliability of the sensing data based on the background noise data;
- and
- outputting a result obtained in the determining the reliability.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a sensing data evaluation program for causing a computer to evaluate sensing data received from at least one sensor device installed external to a sensor management unit, the sensing data being generated by the at least one sensor device monitoring a target and including background noise data representing noise from a cause other than the target, the program causing the computer to implement:
- obtaining the background noise data;
- determining a reliability of the sensing data based on the background noise data;
- and
- outputting a result obtained in the determining the reliability.
