Abstract
According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a wireless communication circuit, a storage, and a controller circuit. The wireless communication circuit is configured to connect to an external first device by wireless communication. The storage has a storage region. The controller circuit is configured to correct first information on the basis of a first capacity which is a free space of the storage region of the storage. The first information is numerical information indicating quality of the wireless communication with the first device. The controller circuit obtains second information being the corrected first information.
Claims20
A storage device comprising:
- a wireless communication circuit configured to connect to an external first device by wireless communication;
- a storage having a storage region;
- and
- a controller circuit configured to correct first information being numerical information indicating quality of the wireless communication with the first device on the basis of a first capacity which is a free space of the storage region of the storage to obtain second information being the corrected first information.
The storage device according to claim
- wherein the wireless communication circuit is configured to connect to an external second device different from the first device by wireless communication, and
- the controller circuit is configured to update the third information with a value obtained by adding the second information to the third information, and to transfer first signal containing the updated third information to the second device.
A storage system comprising a storage network including a plurality of storage devices connected to each other by wireless communication,
- wherein each of the plurality of storage devices is configured to correct first information being numerical information indicating quality of the wireless communication on the basis of a free space of a storage region of at least another of the plurality of storage devices, and to determine a path of the wireless communication within the storage network on the basis of second information that is the corrected first information.
A method of wireless communication between storage devices comprising:
- correcting first information being numerical information indicating quality of wireless communication between a first device connected by wireless communication to a storage device having a wireless communication function and the storage device on the basis of first capacity being a free space of a storage region of the storage device;
- and
- obtaining second information being the corrected firs information.
A method of wireless communication in a storage network including a plurality of storage devices comprising:
- correcting first information being numerical information indicating quality of wireless communication on the basis of a free space of a storage region of at least another of the plurality of storage devices connected to each other by the wireless communication in the storage network;
- and
- determining a path of the wireless communication within the storage network on the basis of second information being the corrected first information.
