Abstract

An information remote notification device is provided. The information remote notification device includes an orientation sensor configured to detect an oriented direction of the information remote notification device, a communicator configured to acquire sensor information from an external terminal device, and a notifier configured to notify the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction detected by the orientation sensor. The sensor information is obtained by transmitting and receiving a detection signal and includes at least information obtained from a direction corresponding to the oriented direction detected by the orientation sensor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information remote notification device, comprising:
an orientation sensor configured to detect an oriented direction of the information remote notification device; a communicator configured to acquire sensor information from an external terminal device, the sensor information obtained by transmitting and receiving a detection signal and including at least information obtained from a direction corresponding to the oriented direction detected by the orientation sensor; and a notifier configured to notify the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction detected by the orientation sensor.

2 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein the communicator transmits the oriented direction to the external terminal device and receives, from the external terminal device, the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction, and
wherein the notifier notifies the sensor information received from the external terminal device.

3 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein when at least operation of determining a range in the oriented direction by specifying at least one of a start position and a terminal position is performed, the notifier notifies the sensor information obtained within the determined range in the oriented direction.

4 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein the notifier includes a display unit configured to display the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction.

5 . The information remote notification device of claim 4 , wherein the display unit displays a distance from a position at which the displayed sensor information is obtained to the information remote notification device.

6 . The information remote notification device of claim 4 , wherein the communicator receives, from the external terminal device, at least an azimuth from which the sensor information is obtained, and
wherein the display unit displays the azimuth from which the sensor information is obtained.

7 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein the notifier notifies the sensor information by using any one of vibration, sound and light.

8 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein among the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction, the notifier only notifies information satisfying a predetermined criteria.

9 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein the communicator acquires the sensor information obtained by using different kinds of detection signals, from the external terminal device, and
wherein the notifier notifies the sensor information obtained by using the different kinds of detection signals.

10 . The information remote notification device of claim 9 , wherein the notifier changes a notification mode according to the kind of the detention signal by which the sensor information is detected.

11 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein the notifier notifies a detection result of a radar apparatus as the sensor information.

12 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein the notifier notifies a detection result of an underwater detection device as the sensor information.

13 . The information remote notification device of claim 1 , wherein the information remote notification device and the external terminal device are connected to a local area network formed within a predetermined area where the information remote notification device and the external terminal device are located.

14 . The information remote notification device of claim 13 , wherein the information remote notification device and the external terminal device are connected to a wireless local area network.

15 . An information remote notifying system, comprising:
an information remote notification device; and an external terminal device provided outside the information remote notification device and configured to acquire sensor information obtained by a sensing device through transmitting and receiving a detection signal, wherein the information remote notification device includes:
an orientation sensor configured to detect an oriented direction of the information remote notification device;
a communicator configured to acquire the sensor information from the external terminal device; and
a notifier configured to notify the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction detected by the orientation sensor.

16 . The information remote notifying system of claim 15 , wherein the communicator transmits the oriented direction to the external terminal device and receives, from the external terminal device, the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction, and
wherein the notifier notifies the sensor information received from the external terminal device.

17 . The information remote notifying system of claim 15 , wherein the notifier includes a display unit configured to display the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction.

18 . A method of remotely notifying information, comprising:
detecting an oriented direction of an information remote notification device; acquiring sensor information from an external terminal device, the sensor information obtained by transmitting and receiving a detection signal and including at least information obtained from a direction corresponding to the oriented direction detected by the detecting the oriented direction; and notifying the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction.

19 . The method of remotely notifying the information of claim 18 , further comprising transmitting the oriented direction to the external terminal device and receiving, from the external terminal device, the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction,
wherein the notifying the sensor information includes notifying the sensor information received from the external terminal device.

20 . The method of remotely notifying the information of claim 18 , wherein the notifying the sensor information includes displaying the sensor information corresponding to the oriented direction.
