Abstract
This wireless communication device includes: a wireless communication unit of which operation is allowed to be activated and stopped; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a measurement result by a sensor satisfies a predetermined condition; and a controller configured to perform control of, when the determination unit has determined that the predetermined condition has been satisfied, activating the wireless communication unit of which operation has been stopped, and causing the wireless communication unit to transmit the measurement result or a determination result by the determination unit.
Claims7
A wireless communication device comprising:
- a controller;
- a wireless communication unit of which operation is activated and stopped by the controller;
- a determination unit that determines whether a measurement result by a sensor satisfies a predetermined condition, and the determination unit outputs a first interrupt signal to the controller when the predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied;
- and
- a timer that periodically outputs a second interrupt signal, which is different from the first interrupt signal, to the controller, wherein
- the controller discriminates between the first interrupt signal from the determination unit and the second interrupt signal from the timer,
- when having received the first interrupt signal, the controller performs a first control of activating the wireless communication unit of which operation has been stopped, causing the wireless communication unit to transmit the measurement result or a determination result by the determination unit, and causing the wireless communication unit to stop after transmission of the measurement result or the determination result, and
- when having received the second interrupt signal, the controller performs a second control of activating the wireless communication unit of which operation has been stopped, causing the wireless communication unit to transmit information, and causing the wireless communication unit to stop after transmission of the information.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program to be used in a wireless communication device, the computer program causes a computer to function as:
- a controller;
- a wireless communication unit of which operation is activated and stopped by the controller;
- a determination unit that determines whether a measurement result by a sensor satisfies a predetermined condition, and the determination unit outputs a first interrupt signal to the controller when the predetermined condition is determined to be satisfied;
- and
- a timer that periodically outputs a second interrupt signal, which is different from the first interrupt signal, to the controller, wherein
- the controller discriminates between the first interrupt signal from the determination unit and the second interrupt signal from the timer,
- when having received the first interrupt signal, the controller performs a first control of activating the wireless communication unit of which operation has been stopped, causing the wireless communication unit to transmit the measurement result or a determination result by the determination unit, and causing the wireless communication unit to stop after transmission of the measurement result or the determination result, and
- when having received the second interrupt signal, the controller performs a second control of activating the wireless communication unit of which operation has been stopped, causing the wireless communication unit to transmit information, and causing the wireless communication unit to stop after transmission of the information.
