Abstract
An example system causing a computer of an information processing apparatus having a wireless communication unit to function as: an installation location designating unit for designating an installation location of a beacon transmitter; an equipment specifying unit for specifying the beacon transmitter based on a field intensity of radio waves received by the wireless communication unit; and an association unit for associating the beacon transmitter specified by the equipment specifying unit with the installation location designated by the installation location designating unit.
Claims16
A computer-readable non-transitory medium on which is recorded an information processing program having instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus including an input device, a display device and a radio wave communication unit to causes the information processing apparatus to function as an equipment installation location registration apparatus and perform operations as:
- an equipment installation location designating unit which prompts a user via the display device to designate via the input device an installation location of one or more pieces of equipment that are detectable via received radio waves transmitted by the equipment;
- an equipment specifying unit which specifies particular pieces of equipment differently based upon a field intensity of radio waves received by the radio wave receiving unit;
- an equipment association unit which associates particular pieces of equipment specified by the equipment specifying unit with an installation location designated by the installation location designating unit;
- and
- an identification information acquisition unit which acquires identification information of the equipment, wherein the association unit associates the equipment with the installation location by linking, registering and accumulating in a database the identification information of the equipment and information indicating the installation location.
An equipment installation location registration apparatus, comprising:
- a hardware information processing unit, an input device, a display device and a radio wave receiving unit, wherein the hardware information processing unit of the equipment installation location registration apparatus is configured to perform operations and function as:
- an equipment installation location designating unit configured to prompt a user via the display device to designate via the input device an installation location of one or more pieces of equipment that are detectable via received radio waves transmitted by the equipment;
- an equipment specifying unit which specifies particular pieces of equipment differently based upon a field intensity of radio waves received by the radio wave receiving unit;
- an equipment association unit which associates the particular pieces of equipment specified by the equipment specifying unit with an installation location designated by the installation location designating unit;
- and
- an identification information acquisition unit which acquires identification information of the equipment, wherein the association unit associates the equipment with the installation location by linking, registering and accumulating in a database the identification information of the equipment and information indicating the installation location.
An equipment installation location registration system, comprising:
- a hardware information processing unit, an input device, a display device and a radio wave receiving unit, wherein the hardware information processing unit of the equipment installation location registration system is configured to perform operations and function as:
- an equipment installation location designating unit configured to prompt a user via the display device to designate via the input device an installation location of one or more pieces of equipment that are detectable via received radio waves transmitted by the equipment;
- an equipment specifying unit which specifies particular pieces of equipment differently based upon a field intensity of radio waves received by the radio wave receiving unit;
- an equipment association unit which associates particular equipment specified by the equipment specifying unit with an installation location designated by the equipment installation location designating unit;
- and
- an identification information acquisition unit which acquires identification information of the equipment, wherein the association unit associates the equipment with the installation location by linking, registering and accumulating in a database the identification information of the equipment and information indicating the installation location.
An equipment installation location registration method executed by a computer of an information processing apparatus having at least one hardware information processing unit, an input device, a display device and a radio wave receiving unit, the equipment installation location registration method comprising:
- prompting a user via the display device to designate via the input device a particular installation location of one or more pieces of equipment that are detectable via received radio waves transmitted by the equipment;
- specifying particular pieces of equipment differently based upon a field intensity of radio waves received by the radio wave receiving unit;
- and
- associating each of the differently specified pieces of equipment with a particular installation location as designated by the user;
- acquiring identification information of the equipment via the radio waves transmitted by the equipment;
- and
- associating the equipment with a designated installation location by linking, registering and accumulating in a database the identification information of the equipment and information indicating the designated installation location.
