PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To communicate metadata with a bandwidth narrowed and power saved. SOLUTION: A sensor comprises measurement data to be transmitted to a data collector, metadata that is to be transmitted to the collector and constituted so as to support the data collector when any of the transmitted measurement data, and a control section for transmitting at least a part of the metadata whenever transmitting opportunity occurs. The control section transmits a part of the metadata instead of a part of the measurement data, and determines when the part of the measurement data is repeated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To establish communication for the data exchange of subsystems in mobile computing devices. SOLUTION: Equipment being an external data link connected to a mobile computing device 102 which creates the external data link enabling communication that has been impossible on exchanging data of each other between the subsystems in mobile machine equipment is provided. This equipment can be used for a system which examines a cellular network, a radio network, and an infrastructure by using the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device can include a programming environment 106 and an internal diagnostic portion 108 which performs examination application. A data translator 104 is connected to the mobile computing device through a data interface 122, and it consequently allows the examination application to be performed in the programming environment to transmit data to the internal diagnostic portion.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recognize a present setting at any instant without requiring frequent reports from a setting server or significantly increasing communication requirement. SOLUTION: A probe used in a measurement system comprises a memory for storing data suitable for possible settings about the probe and a processor for setting one of the possible probe settings. A positioning device is provided, the possible probe settings are used by the processor, and preferably a position parameter for selecting a setting from the possible settings is provided at least partially based on a defined position of the probe presented by a controller of the measurement system.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for arranging a network for easily detecting signal tampering. SOLUTION: The method for detecting signal tampering has a step of acquiring a basic signal measurement from plural signal detection devices (11). In the step, the signal detection device for customer use can be used for one or more purposes except acquiring the basic signal measurements. This method has another step of determining whether a specific signal is altered artificially. In one embodiment, the signal detection device has two functions, one of which operates in a public remote communications zone. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a parameter measurement system capable of performing direct access to the performance of the system from the customer's viewpoint. SOLUTION: The parameter measurement system which measures parameters accessible from mobile equipment communicating over a communication network, the communication network including first and second technology coverage areas provided by each of first and second service providers, includes an agent characterized in comprising: a measurement means for measuring a determined parameter of operation of one of the mobile equipment and the first and second service providers and detecting changes in the service providers, a means for changing measured parameters to make parameter measurements corresponding to the detected changes in the service providers; and a transmitter which transmits the measured parameters to the first service provider over the communication network.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To visualize which base station offers service of a specific instrument source position. SOLUTION: This method is used for mapping of relation between a plurality of moving sensors and a plurality of sensor reference points and contains a step in which measurement parameters are obtained by the sensors. The measurement parameters are contained in parameters to be measured and the identification information of the sensor reference points of transmission sources. This method also contains a step which displays the measurement parameter, every above-mentioned sensor, as a line which connects the sensor with the sensor reference point which corresponds to the measurement parameter.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce burden of a server and a database that must manage an individual set state of each probe in managing and distributing set information of each probe. SOLUTION: This method used in a measuring system comprises a step of receiving set data of a plurality of separated probes. The set data of each probe is not uniquely related with the probe, and can establish the setting of the probe. This method also comprises a step of communicating a measured value according to the set data. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly identify a special data packet by checking the special data packet not including an error detection code, obtaining additional data to be included in the packet and correcting the special data packet including the data. SOLUTION: A network consists of two node groups that are a group comprising nodes 1-4 and a group comprising nodes 5-10. Each group has a central hub with an individual link L set to each node. That is, a hub 1 is connected to the nodes 1-4, a hub 2 is connected to the nodes 5-10, and a link L' interconnects the hubs. Each of the hubs simply acts like a router. That is, when a hub receives an input signal from either of the links L and L', the hub transmits copies of the signal to all other nodes connected to the hub. For example, when a node 8 transmits a signal, it reaches the hub 2 and the hub 2 transmits the copies of the signal to the other 5 nodes directly connected to the hub 2.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for recognizing capabilities regarding levels of services to be utilized in different technology coverage areas from the customer's perspective. SOLUTION: In a communication network (2) architecture having multiple technology coverage areas (4, 6) that support different network technologies, a service provider monitors its customer's experience as the customer roams between technology coverage areas. An agent, such as software installed on the customer's mobile equipment (12), measures (22, 24, 34, 44) parameters (32) that are related to the network technology, and communicates (28, 40, 42) the measured parameters to the service provider, over the communication network (2).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply electric power to the devices by eliminating necessity for preparing a power source in the vicinity of each device. SOLUTION: A power feeder (204) supplies electric power to a node (216) by using feeder network connection (218) such as powerover Ethernet (R)(PoE). The node (216) supplies at least partly electric power received through the feeder network connection (218), to further one or more downstream devices (220, 222) by using the another feeder network connection (224, 226). In one embodiment, one or more downstream devices (220, 222) are connected by hub and spoke constitution to a remote device (216). In the other embodiment, one or more downstream devices (220, 222) are connected by series constitution or by combination of the series constitution and the hub and spoke constitution to the remote device (216).
