Abstract
An information collecting system includes a first device including a counter, a second device that collects data from one or more sensing devices in response to a command from the first device, and a third device including a time-measuring unit that manages time. The first device adds, to the data collected by the second device, a first count value output from the counter at a timing when the second device collects the data, to generate a first data set. The third device adds, to the first data set, a correspondence relationship between a time output from the time-measuring unit and a second count value output from the counter of the first device.
Claims18
An information collecting system comprising:
- a first device including a counter;
- a second device configured to collect data from one or more sensing devices in response to a command from the first device;
- and
- a third device including a time-measuring unit configured to manage time,
- wherein the first device is configured to add, to the data collected by the second device, a first count value output from the counter at a timing when the second device collects the data, to generate a first data set, and
- the third device is configured to add, to the first data set, a correspondence relationship between a time output from the time-measuring unit and a second count value output from the counter of the first device.
An information collecting method that is performed by an information collecting system comprising a first device, the first device including a counter, the information collecting method comprising:
- collecting, by a second device, data from one or more sensing devices in response to a command from the first device;
- adding, by the first device, a first count value output from the counter at a timing when the second device collects the data to the data collected by the second device, to generate a first data set;
- and
- adding, by a third device including a time-measuring unit configured to manage time, a correspondence relationship between a time output from the time-measuring unit and a second count value output from the counter of the first device to the first data set.
