Abstract
A scheme for providing environmental information to users is disclosed. In this scheme, environmental information is measured automatically by each of a plurality of environment sensors arranged at a plurality of regions, and the environmental information measured by each environment sensor is collected automatically to a base device, and stored at the base device. Then, the environmental information is processed at the base device according to a user information of an individual user, and processed environmental information is provided from the base device to the individual user through a network connecting the users and the base device.
Claims26
A method for providing environmental information to users, comprising the steps of;
- collecting environmental information measured by a plurality of environment sensors arranged at a plurality of regions in a base device;
- storing the environmental information collected from the plurality of environment sensors in the base device;
- processing the environmental information in the base device according to user information of one of the users;
- providing processed environmental information from the base device to the user through a network connecting the users and the base device;
- and
- commanding a measurement condition setting update of all sensors in one of the plurality of regions for carrying out a measurement from the base device, when at least one environment sensor operated to carry out the measurement in the one of the plurality of regions measures a large amount of pollens.
An environmental information providing system, comprising:
- a first communication unit configured to collect environmental information measured by a plurality of environment sensors arranged at a plurality of regions;
- a database configured to store the environmental information collected from the plurality of environment sensors by the first communication unit;
- a processing unit configured to process the environmental information stored in the database according to a user information of one of a plurality of users;
- a second communication unit configured to provide processed environmental information obtained by the processing unit to the user through a network connecting the users and the environmental information providing system;
- and
- a commanding unit configured to command a measurement condition setting update of all sensors in one of the plurality of regions for carrying out a measurement, when at least one environment sensor operated to carry out the measurement in the one of the plurality of regions measures a large amount of pollens.
