Abstract
A measurement system includes a solar panel, a support which supports a position of the solar panel in a changeable manner, a battery which stores electric power from the solar panel, a sensor which detects a state of a structure based on electric power from the solar panel, and a processing unit which performs processing based on sensor information from the sensor. The position of the solar panel supported by the support is different in a first predetermined period and a second predetermined period.
Claims18
A measurement system comprising:
- a solar panel;
- a support which supports a position of the solar panel in a changeable manner;
- a battery which stores electric power from the solar panel;
- a sensor which detects a state of a structure based on electric power from the solar panel;
- and
- a processing unit which performs processing based on sensor information from the sensor,
- wherein the position of the solar panel supported by the support is different in a first predetermined period and a second predetermined period different from the first predetermined period.
A control device comprising:
- an information acquisition unit which acquires sensor information from a sensor detecting a state of a structure based on electric power from a solar panel;
- and
- a processing unit which performs processing based on the sensor information and control of a position of the solar panel,
- wherein, in a first predetermined period, the processing unit sets the position of the solar panel to a first position, and
- in a second predetermined period different from the first predetermined period, the processing unit sets the position of the solar panel to a second position different from the first position.
A method of controlling a measurement system having a solar panel capable of changing a position and a sensor detecting a state of a structure based on electric power from the solar panel, the method comprising:
- in a first predetermined period, setting the position of the solar panel to a first position;
- and
- in a second predetermined period different from the first predetermined period, setting the position of the solar panel to a second position different from the first position.
A program which causes a computer to execute:
- information acquisition processing for acquiring sensor information from a sensor detecting a state of a structure based on electric power from a solar panel;
- processing based on the sensor information;
- and
- position control of a solar panel,
- wherein, as the position control,
- in a first predetermined period, the position of the solar panel is set to a first position, and
- in a second predetermined period different from the first predetermined period, the position of the solar panel is set to a second position different from the first position.
