Abstract

A communication apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to perform operations including acquiring device IDs and calculation data items from a plurality of calculation devices, respectively, each device ID and each calculation data item being in association with each other. In a case where a group ID stored in the memory is selected, transmitting names data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs and the acquired calculation data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs, in association with the group ID to a server, and receiving an integrated data item being obtained based on the names data items and the acquired calculation data items associated with the group ID.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A communication apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor that is configured to perform operations including:
acquiring device IDs and calculation data items from a plurality of calculation devices, respectively, each device ID and each calculation data item being in association with each other;
in a case where a group ID stored in the memory is selected:
transmitting names data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs and the acquired calculation data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs, in association with the group ID to a server, and
receiving an integrated data item being obtained based on the names data items and the acquired calculation data items associated with the group ID; and

in a case where the group ID stored in the memory is not selected:
transmitting the acquired calculation data items without being associated with the group ID to a server, and
receiving unintegrated data items being obtained based on the acquired calculation data items without being associated with the group ID.

2. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated data item includes graphs obtained based on the calculation data items associated with the group ID.

3. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the processor is further configured to perform operations including:
setting the names data items in association with the acquired device IDs by an operator.

4. The communication apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein:
the processor is further configured to perform operations including:
in a case where any of the acquired device IDs is previously registered in the memory, displaying the registered name in association with the corresponding device ID; and
in a process of registering the names in association with the acquired device IDs, in a case where any of the acquired device IDs is not previously registered in the memory, registering a name input according to the operator's operation, in association with the corresponding device ID.

5. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the processor is further configured to perform operations including:
in the process of acquiring the device IDs and the calculation data items from the plurality of calculation devices, acquiring group IDs from another communication apparatus which has acquired said group IDs from the server, and storing the acquired group IDs.

6. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the processor is further configured to perform operations including:
in the process of acquiring the device IDs and the calculation data items from the plurality of calculation devices, acquiring the device IDs and the calculation data items from the calculation devices by imaging two-dimensional codes displayed corresponding to the device IDs and the calculation data items.

7. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the integrated data item is obtained by integrating the names data items and the acquired calculation data items associated with the group ID.

8. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the processor is further configured to perform operations including:
receiving the group IDs from a server; and
registering the received group IDs.

9. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each name corresponding to each device ID is one of a user's name, a nickname, a number, and a symbol.

10. A method for controlling a computer of a communication apparatus including a memory, the method comprising:
acquiring device IDs and calculation data items from a plurality of calculation devices, respectively, each device ID and each calculation data item being in association with each other;
in a case where a group ID stored in the memory is selected:
transmitting names data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs and the acquired calculation data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs, in association with the group ID to a server, and
receiving an integrated data item being obtained based on the names data items and the acquired calculation data items associated with the group ID; and

in a case where the group ID stored in the memory is not selected:
transmitting the acquired calculation data items without being associated with the group ID to a server, and
receiving unintegrated data items being obtained based on the acquired calculation data items without being associated with the group ID.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the integrated data item includes graphs obtained based on the calculation data items associated with the group ID.

12. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising setting the names data items in association with the acquired device IDs by an operator.

13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising:
in a case where any of the acquired device IDs is previously registered in the memory, displaying the registered name in association with the corresponding device ID; and
in a process of registering the names in association with the acquired device IDs, in a case where any of the acquired device IDs is not previously registered in the memory, registering a name input according to the operator's operation, in association with the corresponding device ID.

14. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising, in the process of acquiring the device IDs and the calculation data items from the plurality of calculation devices, acquiring group IDs from another communication apparatus which has acquired said group IDs from the server, and storing the acquired group IDs.

15. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising, in the process of acquiring the device IDs and the calculation data items from the plurality of calculation devices, acquiring the device IDs and the calculation data items from the calculation devices by imaging two-dimensional codes displayed corresponding to the device IDs and the calculation data items.

16. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the integrated data item is obtained by integrating the names data items and the acquired calculation data items associated with the group ID.

17. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving the group IDs from a server; and
registering the received group IDs.

18. The method according to claim 10 , wherein each name corresponding to each device ID is one of a user's name, a nickname, a number, and a symbol.

19. A non-transitory recording medium containing a program which causes a computer of a communication apparatus which includes a memory to perform operations comprising:
acquiring device IDs and calculation data items from a plurality of calculation devices, respectively, each device ID and each calculation data item being in association with each other;
in a case where a group ID stored in the memory is selected:
transmitting names data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs and the acquired calculation data items corresponding to the acquired device IDs, in association with the group ID to a server, and
receiving an integrated data item being obtained based on the names data items and the acquired calculation data items associated with the group ID; and

in a case where the group ID stored in the memory is not selected:
transmitting the acquired calculation data items without being associated with the group ID to a server, and
receiving unintegrated data items being obtained based on the acquired calculatio
