摘要： In a sensor node SN driven by a secondary battery, a charge/discharge control circuit can be realized and an unnecessary circuit in the sensor node can be eliminated for its miniaturization. The charge/discharge control circuit and the sensor node have a comparator for monitoring a battery voltage, a control circuit for converting an output of the comparator into an interrupt signal, a micro controller for performing charge/discharge control only when detecting the interrupt signal, and a switch turned ON or OFF under control of the micro controller. When the battery voltage is not lower than a first predetermined voltage, the switch is turned OFF to thereby stop charging operation. When the battery voltage is not higher than a second predetermined voltage, the switch is turned OFF to stop discharging operation. A circuit necessary in a charge mode is provided in a charger side.

摘要： The precision of measuring biometric information is enhanced while suppressing the consumption of a battery in a sensor node. In a method of measuring the biometric information in a sensor node including a controller for driving a sensor to measure biometric information, the controller supplies power from a battery to an acceleration sensor for detecting the movement of a living body to detect the movement of the living body, the controller determines whether or not measurement by a pulsebeat sensor is possible based on the detected movement of the living body (P330), and shuts off power to the acceleration sensor having a power consumption lower than that of the pulsebeat sensor when the determination results show that measurement is possible, and thereafter supplying power to the pulsebeat sensor having a power consumption larger than that of the acceleration sensor to measure the biometric information (P340).

摘要： This invention achieves lower electric power consumption of a sensor node for carrying out an intermittent operation, in a sensor net system. A time when the sensor node transmits a signal to a base station is estimated. Then, in accordance with the estimation, a table for storing a signal transmitted from the sensor node is installed in a wireless section of the base station. Consequently, a communication time between the sensor node and the base station can be made shorter. Also, a start time of a micro computer is set for RTC inside the sensor node, so the micro computer inside the sensor node can be put in the standby state.

摘要： An exhaust gas diagnosis system and a vehicle control system for automotive vehicles to reduce the communication lines and the power lines connected to the antiweatherability-required exhaust gas sensor arranged on the exterior of the vehicle are disclosed. The exhaust gas diagnosis system is configured of an engine control unit (electronic control unit), radio terminal units having the sensor function to detect the exhaust gas, and a radio communication repeater to conduct communication and share a part of the process executed by the conventional engine control unit. The communication lines between the sensor and the electronic control unit and the power lines to the sensor required in the conventional systems are eliminated while at the same time reducing the load on the electronic control unit.
