Abstract:
A data sequence to be transmitted is constituted by a data body and preceding data. The amount of preceding data is smaller than that of data body. If it is determined as a result of executing carrier sensing that a frequency band of radio waves to be transmitted is not being used by another contending communication system, the preceding data is transmitted after the lapse of a predetermined time. If it is determined as a result of executing carrier sensing after completion of transmitting of the preceding data that the frequency band is not being used by another contending communication system, the data body is transmitted after the lapse of a predetermined time. If it is determined that the frequency band is being used, the contention for the frequency band is avoided.
Abstract:
A position detection system includes a transmitter that transmits a first beacon signal with a first strength and at a first incidence and that transmits a second beacon signal with a second strength, which is greater than the first strength, and at a second incidence, which is lower than the first incidence, a plurality of receivers that are installed at known positions different from each other and that measure signal strengths of the first beacon signal and the second beacon signal, and a calculator that performs first processing in which the position of the transmitter is detected on the basis of a signal strength of the first beacon signal measured by one of the receivers and second processing in which the position of the transmitter is detected on the basis of signal strengths of the second beacon signal measured by two or more of the receivers.
Abstract:
A circuit module (301) includes a first substrate (201), a first module (101), a sealing resin portion (3), and a conductive material film (7). The first substrate (201) has a first principal surface (201a). The first module (101) is mounted on the first principal surface (201a). The sealing resin portion (3) is formed on the first principal surface (201a) and covers the first module (101). The conductive material film (7) covers a side of the sealing resin portion (3). The first module (101) includes a conductive material portion and a device which may produce heat and which is mounted on the conductive material portion. The conductive material portion connects with the conductive material film (7) on the side of the sealing resin portion (3).
Abstract:
A lighting system serving as a wireless network system includes a plurality of lighting appliances, which are a plurality of wireless devices, that each have unique identifier and transmit/receive a radio signal. Under control performed by a lighting controller, an operation is sequentially performed with respect to each of the plurality of lighting appliances in which one lighting appliance from among the plurality of lighting appliances broadcasts a measurement signal that includes the identifier of that lighting appliance and the other lighting appliances receive the measurement signal and measure reception quality, which depends on the distance between the lighting appliances.
Abstract:
A position estimation system (11) includes: a plurality of fixed stations (100a-100d) installed inside a building, the plurality of fixed stations (100a-100d) each measuring the signal strength of a radio signal transmitted from a mobile object (300); and a calculator configured to estimate a position of the mobile object (300) based on the signal strengths measured at the plurality of fixed stations (100a-100d), wherein each of the plurality of fixed stations (100a-100d) is installed in such a position that a distance to a top part of the mobile object (300) is equal to or less than a predetermined distance when the mobile object (300) is directly below the fixed station (100a-100d).
Abstract:
A portable wireless sensor includes a power source, a sensor, a wireless communication circuit and a sensor control circuit obtaining data from the sensor and transmitting the data to outside through the wireless communication circuit, in which the power source includes a secondary battery, a power reception circuit receiving electric power supply in a non-contact manner, and a power source control circuit controlling charging of the secondary battery with the electric power received by the power reception circuit. The wireless sensor includes a standard mode to transmit the data obtained from the sensor to outside through the wireless communication circuit, and a diagnosis mode to diagnose at least one of the secondary battery and the sensor portion in a case where the power reception circuit receives electric power supply in a non-contact manner.
