Observation system and method for controlling observation system

A method for controlling an observation system including a power supply unit having a battery, a sensor unit which detects a state of a structure on the basis of electricity from the power supply unit, and a charging unit which charges the battery from renewable energy,

• the method including at least a first observation mode and a second observation mode in which at least one of a sensor capability of the sensor unit and a load of computational processing using the sensing information from the sensor unit is higher than in the first observation mode, as observation modes,
• the method comprising acquiring information for disaster occurrence estimation, setting the first observation mode if it is determined that a probability of disaster occurrence is below a first value on the basis of the information for disaster occurrence estimation that is acquired, and setting the second observation mode if it is determined that the probability of disaster occurrence is above a second value that is equal to or above the first value.

A method for controlling an observation system including a power supply unit having a plurality of batteries, a sensor unit which detects a state of a structure on the basis of electricity from the power supply unit, and a charging unit which charges at least one battery of the plurality of batteries from renewable energy,

• the method including at least a first observation mode and a second observation mode in which a battery that is not used in the first observation mode, of the plurality of batteries, is used, as observation modes,
• the method comprising acquiring information for disaster occurrence estimation, setting the first observation mode if it is determined that a probability of disaster occurrence is below a first value on the basis of the information for disaster occurrence estimation that is acquired, and setting the second observation mode if it is determined that the probability of disaster occurrence is above a second value that is equal to or above the first value.
