Abstract
Provided is an information processing device including at least one processor which executes an obtaining process for obtaining sensor data transmitted from each of sensors included in a sensor group, a converting process for converting the sensor data, which has been obtained in the obtaining process, into a particular format, and a providing process for providing, to main equipment, the sensor data whose format has been converted in the converting process.
Claims16
An information processing device for relaying communication between sensors included in a sensor group and main equipment connected to the information processing device via a network, the information processing device comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to
- obtain sensor data transmitted from each of the sensors included in the sensor group,
- convert the sensor data, which has been obtained, into a particular format that is interpretable to a controller of the main equipment, and
- provide, to the main equipment, the sensor data whose format has been converted, wherein
- the sensor group is constituted by a plurality of sensor slave units that are the sensors and a sensor master unit configured to relay communication between each of the plurality of sensor slave units and the information processing device,
- the sensor data includes (i) a detection value and status information of one of the plurality of sensor slave units and (ii) status information of the sensor master unit,
- the status information of one of the plurality of sensor slave units indicates at least one of a usage status, presence or absence of a monitoring function, a communication status, radio field intensity, and a remaining battery capacity, and
- the status information of the sensor master unit indicates at least one of a communication status and the number of times of data obtainment of the sensor master unit.
An information processing method using an information processing device for relaying communication between a sensor group and main equipment connected to the information processing device via a network, wherein the sensor group is constituted by a plurality of sensor slave units and a sensor master unit configured to relay communication between each of the plurality of sensor slave units and the information processing device, the information processing method comprising:
