Abstract
A data collection and management system includes: a terminal(s) that transmits measured data; and a management apparatus that receives and manages the measured data transmitted from the terminal(s). The management apparatus includes a notification unit that notifies the terminal(s) of transmission cost information indicating a cost incurrable upon transmitting measured data to the management apparatus by the terminal(s). The terminal(s) includes: a calculation unit that calculates an information value indicating a value of measured data as information; and a transmission control unit that determines whether to transmit measured data to the management apparatus based on the information value and the transmission cost information.
Claims9
A data collection and management system, comprising:
- a terminal(s) that transmits measured data;
- and
- a management apparatus that receives and manages the measured data transmitted from the terminal(s),
- wherein the management apparatus comprises a notification unit that notifies the terminal(s) of transmission cost information indicating a cost incurrable upon transmitting measured data to the management apparatus by the terminal(s),
- wherein the terminal(s) comprises:
- a calculation unit that calculates an information value indicating a value of measured data as information;
- and
- a transmission control unit that determines whether to transmit measured data to the management apparatus based on the information value and the transmission cost information,
- wherein the transmission control unit calculates transmission probability of measured data by performing statistical processing on the information value and the transmission cost information and transmits the measured data to the management apparatus in accordance with the transmission probability.
A data collection and management method, comprising:
- causing a terminal(s) to transmit measured data to a management apparatus;
- causing a management apparatus to notify the terminal(s) of transmission cost information indicating a cost incurrable upon transmitting measured data to the management apparatus by the terminal(s);
- calculating an information value indicating a value of measured data as information;
- and
- causing the terminal(s) to determine whether to transmit measured data to the management apparatus based on the information value and the transmission cost information, including calculating transmission probability of measured data by performing statistical processing on the information value and the transmission cost information and transmits the measured data to the management apparatus in accordance with the transmission probability.
A terminal, comprising:
- a calculation unit that calculates an information value indicating a value of measured data as information;
- and
- a transmission control unit that determines whether to transmit measured data to a management apparatus based on:
- transmission cost information indicating a cost incurrable upon transmitting the measured data by the terminal to the management apparatus that manages measured data;
- and the information value,
- wherein the transmission control unit calculates transmission probability of measured data by performing statistical processing on the information value and the transmission cost information and transmits the measured data to the management apparatus in accordance with the transmission probability.
A management apparatus, comprising:
- a reception unit that receives measured data transmitted from a terminal(s);
- and
- a notification unit that notifies the terminal(s) of transmission cost information indicating a cost incurrable upon transmitting measured data to the management apparatus by the terminal(s),
- wherein the terminal(s) calculate transmission probability of measured data by performing statistical processing on the information value and the transmission cost information and transmits the measured data to the management apparatus in accordance with the transmission probability.
