Data transmission device, data collection device, wireless system, method of controlling data transmission device, data collection method, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing program

A data collection device comprising:

• a wireless communication circuitry;
• a display device;
• a name storage circuitry configured to store an identifier and a name of one or more data transmission devices;
• and
• a name display circuitry configured to, in response to receiving an identifier of each data transmission device from a data transmission device capable of communicating with the wireless communication circuitry, read the name stored in the name storage circuitry in association with the received identifier from the name storage circuitry, display the name on the display device, and allow a user to make a selection,
• the wireless communication circuitry being configured to execute communication with a data transmission device that has an identifier corresponding to the name selected by the name display circuitry.

A wireless system comprising a data transmission device and a data collection device that can wirelessly communicate with each other,

• the data transmission device including:
• a wireless communication circuitry;
• a non-volatile memory configured to store an identifier uniquely assigned to the data transmission device,
• the non-volatile memory being configured to be capable of further storing a name assigned to the data transmission device;
• an advertising circuitry configured to incorporate the identifier in advertisement data and broadcast the advertisement data including the identifier via the wireless communication circuitry, wherein, in a case where the name is stored in the non-volatile memory, the advertising circuitry incorporates the name, in addition to the identifier, in the advertisement data and broadcasts the advertisement data;
• and
• a communication control circuitry configured to initiate data transmission using the wireless communication circuitry to the data collection device serving as a data transmission destination in response to receiving a connection request specifying the identifier from the data collection device,
• the data collection device including:
• a wireless communication circuitry;
• a display device;
• a name storage circuitry configured to store an identifier and a name of one or more data transmission devices;
• and
• a name display circuitry configured to, in response to receiving an identifier of the wireless communication circuitry included in each data transmission device from a data transmission device capable of communicating with the wireless communication circuitry of the data collection device, read the name stored in the name storage circuitry in association with the received identifier from the name storage circuitry, display the name on the display device, and allow a user to make a selection,
• the wireless communication circuitry being configured to execute communication with a data transmission device that has an identifier corresponding to the name selected by the name display circuitry.

A method of controlling a data transmission device with a wireless communication circuitry,

• the data transmission device including a non-volatile memory configured to store an identifier uniquely assigned to the data transmission device,
• the non-volatile memory being configured to be capable of further storing a name assigned to the data transmission device,
• the method comprising:
• incorporating the identifier in advertisement data and broadcasting the advertisement data including the identifier via the wireless communication circuitry,
• the broadcasting including, in a case where the name is stored in the non-volatile memory, incorporating the name, in addition to the identifier, in the advertisement data and broadcasting the advertisement data;
• and
• initiating data transmission using the wireless communication circuitry to a data collection device serving as a data transmission destination in response to receiving a connection request specifying the identifier from the data collection device.

A data collection method in which a data collection device including a wireless communication circuitry, a display device, and a storage device collects data from one or more data transmission devices, the data collection method comprising:

• storing, by the storage device, an identifier and a name of the one or more data transmission devices;
• in response to receiving, by the wireless communication circuitry, an identifier of each data transmission device from the one or more data transmission devices, reading the name stored in the storage device in association with the received identifier, displaying the name on the display device, and allowing a user to make a selection;
• and
• through communication of the wireless communication circuitry with a data transmission device that has an identifier corresponding to the name selected in the allowing a user to make a selection, collecting data from the data transmission device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that causes a computer connected to a wireless communication circuitry, a display device, and a storage device to collect data from one or more data transmission devices, the computer program causing the computer to function to execute:

• storing an identifier and a name of the one or more data transmission devices in the storage device;
• in response to receiving, by the wireless communication circuitry, an identifier of each data transmission device from the one or more data transmission devices, reading the name stored in the storage device in association with the received identifier, displaying the name on the display device, and allowing a user to make a selection;
• and
• through communication of the wireless communication circuitry with a data transmission device that has an identifier corresponding to the name selected in the allowing a user to make a selection, collecting data from the data transmission device.
