## Abstract

A data processing system includes a sensor apparatus configured to continuously detect data, determine a state of the data that is detected, transmit the data in accordance with a determination result, and continue to detect the data regardless of the determination result, and a receiving apparatus configured to receive the data transmitted from the sensor apparatus.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A data processing system, comprising:
a sensor apparatus configured to:
detect data;
determine a state of the detected data;
transmit the detected data and state information to a receiving apparatus based on the determined state, wherein the state information indicates that the state of the detected data is abnormal;
receive, from the receiving apparatus, a determination result that indicates the detected data is abnormal; and
based on the reception of the determination result from the receiving apparatus, interrupt the transmission of the detected data to the receiving apparatus and continue the detection of the data;
the receiving apparatus configured to receive the detected data transmitted from the sensor apparatus.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the sensor apparatus is further configured to:
determine that the state of the data is abnormal; and
transmit the state information indicating that the data is abnormal to the receiving apparatus based on the determination that the state of the data is abnormal.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The data processing system according to claim 2, wherein the sensor apparatus is further configured to, in a case where the state of the detected data is within a normal range in a situation after the data is determined to be abnormal, transmit the state information indicating that the data is within the normal range to the receiving apparatus together with the detected data.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the receiving apparatus is further configured to, in a case where the state information indicates that the state of the data is abnormal, determine the state of the data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The data processing system according to claim 4, wherein the receiving apparatus is further configured to, based on the determination result that indicates that the data is abnormal, instruct the sensor apparatus to interrupt transmission of the data.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The data processing system according to claim 4, wherein the receiving apparatus is further configured to, in a case where the data is within a normal range in a situation after the data is determined to be abnormal in the sensor apparatus, instruct the sensor apparatus to resume transmission of the detected data.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The data processing system according to claim 6, wherein the sensor apparatus is further configured to, based on the instruction by the receiving apparatus to resume the transmission, resume the transmission of the detected data to the receiving apparatus.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The data processing system according to claim 6, wherein the sensor apparatus is further configured to:
based on the instruction from the receiving apparatus to resume the transmission of the data, determine whether the detected data is within the normal range; and
transmit the data to the receiving apparatus based on the determination that the detected data is within the normal range.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the receiving apparatus is further configured to, in a case where the state information received from the sensor apparatus indicates that the data is within a normal range, determine the state of the data.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The data processing system according to claim 9, wherein the receiving apparatus is further configured to, in a case where the state of the data received from the sensor apparatus is within the normal range, instruct the sensor apparatus to resume the transmission of the detected data.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the receiving apparatus is further configured to, in a case where a determined condition is satisfied in a situation after the data from the sensor apparatus to the receiving apparatus is determined to be abnormal, instruct the sensor apparatus to transmit the data.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the receiving apparatus is further configured to:
determine the state of the data; and
in a case where the state of the data is within a normal range, store the data in a storage unit.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The data processing system according to claim 1, wherein the sensor apparatus is further configured to set a detection timing for abnormal data after the data is determined to be abnormal.

### Claim 14

A data processing method, comprising:
in a data processing system including a sensor apparatus and a receiving apparatus:
detecting, by the sensor apparatus, data;
determining, by the sensor apparatus, a state of the detected data;
transmitting, by the sensor apparatus, the detected data and state information to the receiving apparatus based on the determined state, wherein the state information indicates that the state of the detected data is abnormal;
receiving, from the receiving apparatus by the sensor apparatus, a determination result that indicates the detected data is abnormal;
based on the reception of the determination result from the receiving apparatus, interrupting, by the sensor apparatus, the transmission of the detected data to the receiving apparatus and continuing the detection of the data; and
receiving, by the receiving apparatus, the detected data transmitted from the sensor apparatus.

### Claim 15

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
in a data processing system including a sensor apparatus and a receiving apparatus:
detecting, by the sensor apparatus, data;
determining, by the sensor apparatus, a state of the detected data;
transmitting, by the sensor apparatus, the detected data and state information to the receiving apparatus based on the determined state, wherein the state information indicates that the state of the detected data is abnormal;
receiving, from the receiving apparatus by the sensor apparatus, a determination result that indicates the detected data is abnormal;
based on the reception of the determination result from the receiving apparatus, interrupting, by the sensor apparatus, the transmission of the detected data to the receiving apparatus and continuing the detection of the data; and
receiving, by the receiving apparatus, the detected data transmitted from the sensor apparatus.
