Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensor device transmits, to an external device installed external to the sensor device, sensing data generated from monitoring a target, and includes a sensor unit that generates sensing data including background noise data. The background noise data represents noise from a cause other than the target. The sensor device further includes an extraction unit that extracts the background noise data from the sensing data, and a transmission unit that transmits the background noise data extracted by the extraction unit to the external device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A sensor device for transmitting, to an external device installed external to the sensor device, sensing data generated from monitoring a target, the sensor device comprising: a sensor unit configured to generate sensing data including background noise data, the background noise data representing noise from a cause other than the target; an extraction unit configured to extract the background noise data from the sensing data; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the background noise data extracted by the extraction unit to the external device. 2 . The sensor device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a storage configured to store items of sensing data generated at a plurality of times, wherein the transmission unit is configured to collectively transmit the items of sensing data stored in the storage to the external device. 3 . The sensor device according to claim 1 , wherein the extraction unit is configured to extract the background noise data by sorting the items of sensing data generated at a plurality of times based on values indicated by the items of sensing data. 4 . A method for transmitting background noise data implementable by a computer, the method comprising: obtaining sensing data generated from monitoring a target, the sensing data including background noise data representing noise from a cause other than the target; extracting the background noise data from the sensing data; and transmitting the extracted background noise data. 5 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for transmitting background noise data, the program causing a computer to implement: obtaining sensing data generated from monitoring a target, the sensing data including background noise data representing noise from a cause other than the target; extracting the background noise data from the sensing data; and transmitting the extracted background noise data. 6 . The sensor device according to claim 2 , wherein the extraction unit is configured to extract the background noise data by sorting the items of sensing data generated at a plurality of times based on values indicated by the items of sensing data.
