Abstract:
A sensor information collecting apparatus includes: a sensor module including a sensor; a sensor amplifier; an acceleration sensor; a control unit; a power supply unit; an illumination unit; an illumination driver; and a battery, which supplies a battery voltage to the acceleration sensor, the control unit, and the power supply unit, wherein, when an acceleration level is equal to or more than a threshold value for data-storing, the control unit activates the sensor amplifier and controls the memory to store the detection data, and wherein, when the acceleration sensor detects an acceleration level which is less than the threshold value for data-storing and is equal to or more than a threshold value for data-transmitting, the control unit outputs an optical communication signal and the illumination driver controls the illumination unit to emit light, on which the optical communication signal is superimposed.
