Sensor informationlinkage apparatus

A sensor information association device capable of operating independently, comprising:

• detection result request means for requesting a detection result at a predetermined second timing determined according to the status of the sensor information association device, the detection result being detected by a sensor provided to another device at a first timing and stored;
• detection result reception means for receiving the detection result transmitted in response to the request;
• and
• wherein the second timing is a timing when a user performs a user operation which is expected to instruct the sensor information association device to perform operation control using the detection result obtained by the sensor.

A sensor information association system comprising:

• a sensor information provision device;
• and
• a sensor information using device capable of operating independently, wherein
• the sensor information provision device includes
• a sensor,
• detection result request reception means for receiving from the sensor information using device a request for the detection result detected by the sensor, and
• detection result transmission means for transmitting the detection result detected at a first timing determined according to the user operation and stored in the storage means to the sensor information using device according to the request,
• the sensor information using device includes
• detection result request means for requesting a detection result of the sensor which is detected at the sensor information provision device, and
• detection result reception means for receiving the detection result transmitted according to the request,
• any one of the sensor information provision device and the sensor information using device includes storage means for storing a history of a detection result detected by the sensor at the predetermined first timing determined according to a user operation at the sensor information provision device, and
• the sensor information using device uses the detection result stored in the storage means at a second timing when a user performs a user operation which is expected to instruct the sensor information using device to perform operation control using the detection result obtained by the sensor.
