When connected to the information processing apparatus 10 , the processor 41 receives a command requesting the measured value of power consumption through the communication unit 43 . The command is a command requesting a current measured value or a past measured value. When requesting past measurements, the command specifies the timing at which the measurements were taken.

Next, functions realized by the information processing apparatus 10 will be described. The functions realized by the information processing apparatus 10 are realized by the processor 11 executing a program stored in the internal memory, the memory 12, or the like.

First, the processor 11 has a function of setting form information for storing measured values from the first sensor device 20 , the second sensor device 30 and the third sensor device 40 .
The processor 11 sets form information before obtaining measurement values from the first sensor device 20 , the second sensor device 30 and the third sensor device 40 .

Here, in order to cause the information processing apparatus 10 to obtain a measurement value, the user holds the information processing apparatus 10 and operates the first sensor device 20, the second sensor device 30, or the third sensor device 40. Suppose you enter multiple areas that exist.

FIG. 7 shows the area that the user enters in an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, areas A to C exist as areas into which users enter. At least one of the first sensor device 20, the second sensor device 30, or the third sensor device 40 is present in areas A to C. FIG.

Here, the first sensor devices 20 a - 20 c are one of the first sensor devices 20 . That is, the first sensor devices 20 a to 20 c have the same configuration as the first sensor device 20 . Also, different UUIDs are set for the first sensor devices 20a to 20c. Different IDs and passwords are set for the first sensor devices 20a to 20c, respectively.

Also, the second sensor devices 30 a and 30 c are one of the second sensor devices 30 . That is, the second sensor devices 30 a and 30 c have the same configuration as the second sensor device 30 . Also, different UUIDs are set for the second sensor devices 30a and 30c.

Also, the third sensor devices 40 a and 40 b are one of the third sensor devices 40 . That is, the third sensor devices 40 a and 40 b have the same configuration as the third sensor device 40 . Also, different UUIDs are set for the third sensor devices 40a and 40b. Different IDs and passwords are set for the third sensor devices 40a and 40b, respectively.

In area A, there are a first sensor device 20a, a second sensor device 30a and a third sensor device 40a.
In area B, there are a first sensor device 20b and a third sensor device 40b.
In area C, there are a first sensor device 20c and a second sensor device 30c.
For example, a user enters areas A to C in sequence.

Next, the form information will be explained.
FIG. 8 shows a configuration example of form information.
As shown in FIG. 8, the form information is composed of records in which "area", "item", "result", "time", "profile", "UUID" and "ID/PW" are associated with each other.

"Area" indicates an area where the first sensor device 20, the second sensor device 30, or the third sensor device 40 from which the information processing apparatus 10 obtains the measured value exists. That is, the “area” indicates an area that the user enters while holding the information processing device 10 . Here, "area" indicates "A" indicating area A, "B" indicating area B, or "C" indicating area C.

"Item" indicates sensing data. Here, the "item" indicates "temperature", "CO2 concentration" or "power consumption".

"Result" indicates the measured value.
"Time" indicates the date and time of measurement.

"Profile" indicates the name of the profile used to connect with the sensor device that transmits the measured value. Here, "profile" is any one of the first to sixth profiles. Note that the "profile" may indicate an identifier or the like for identifying the profile.

“UUID” indicates the UUID of the sensor device from which the information processing apparatus 10 acquires the measured value.
"ID/PW" indicates an ID and password for connecting to the sensor device. If no ID and password are set for the sensor device, "ID/PW" may be left blank.

As described above, the processor 11 sets the form information before acquiring measurement values from the first sensor device 20, the second sensor device 30, or the third sensor device 40. FIG.

The processor 11 accepts input of items such as “area”, “item”, “profile”, “UUID” and “ID/PW” through the operation unit 14 or the like. Upon receiving the input of each item, the processor 11 generates form information based on each item. After generating the form information, the processor 11 stores the generated symptom information in the memory 12 . Here, the "result" and "time" of the form information are blank.

Note that the processor 11 may appropriately update the form information in accordance with an operation input through the operation unit 14 or the like.
Also, the processor 11 may acquire form information from an external device. Also, the processor 11 may acquire any item from an external device.

In addition, the processor 11 has a function of acquiring measured values from sensor devices.
Here, it is assumed that the user enters any area while holding the information processing device 10 .

The processor 11 receives an input of the area in which the processor 11 is located through the operation unit 14 . Upon receiving the input of the area, the processor 11 acquires the record corresponding to the area from the form information.

Upon obtaining the records, processor 11 sets one record from the obtained records. When one record is set, the processor 11 acquires from the memory 12 the profile indicated by the set record.

Upon obtaining the profile, processor 11 sets the communication protocol for the obtained profile. After setting the communication protocol, the processor 11 scans the sensor device through the communication unit 13 according to the set communication protocol. Here, the processor 11 acquires the UUID of the sensor device according to the set communication protocol.

After acquiring the UUID, the processor 11 determines whether the acquired UUID matches the UUID indicated by the set record. Note that when a plurality of UUIDs are acquired, the processor 11 determines whether any one of the acquired UUIDs matches the UUID indicated by the set record.

When determining that both UUIDs match, the processor 11 transmits the ID and password to the sensor device (the sensor device having the UUID indicated by the set record). After sending the ID and password, the processor 11 connects to the sensor device. If no ID and password are set for the sensor device, the processor 11 connects to the sensor device without sending the ID and password to the sensor device.

Upon connecting to the sensor device, processor 11 generates a command requesting acquired data indicated by the profile. After generating the command, the processor 11 transmits the command to the sensor device through the communication unit 13 .

The processor 11 receives a response including the measured value from the sensor device through the communication unit 13 . Upon receiving the response, the processor 11 stores the measurement value included in the response in the "result" of the set record. If the response includes the date and time of measurement, the processor 11 stores the date and time of measurement in the "time" of the set record.

If the processor 11 determines that the acquired UUID and the UUID indicated by the set record do not match, or if the UUID cannot be acquired, the processor 11 may perform scanning again. Further, when the processor 11 determines that the acquired UUID and the UUID indicated by the set record do not match, the processor 11 may display an error on the display unit 15 or the like.

The processor 11 performs similar operations for each record corresponding to the area.

After performing the same operation for each record corresponding to the area, the processor 11 waits until an input for another area is received through the operation unit 14 .

Upon receiving an input for another area, processor 11 operates similarly for that other area.

Next, an operation example of the information processing device 10 will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flow chart for explaining an operation example of the information processing device 10 .

First, the processor 11 of the information processing apparatus 10 determines whether or not a predetermined input indicating an area in which the operator is present has been received from the operation unit 14 (S11). If it is determined that the input of the area has not been received (S11, NO), the processor 11 returns to S11.

When determining that the input of the area has been received (S11, YES), the processor 11 sets one record corresponding to the input area in the form information (S12). After setting the record, the processor 11 acquires the profile from the set record (S13).

After obtaining the profile, the processor 11 obtains the UUID from the sensor device existing in the area through the communication unit 13 according to the communication protocol of the profile (S14). After acquiring the UUID, the processor 11 determines whether the acquired UUID matches the UUID indicated by the set record (S15).

When determining that both UUIDs match (S15, YES), the processor 11 transmits the ID and password to the sensor device indicated by the UUID through the communication unit 13 (S16).

By transmitting the above ID and password to the sensor device, the processor 11 then assumes that communication related to transmission and reception of various data such as measurement values measured by the sensor device becomes possible, and continues the following operations. .

The processor 11 transmits a command requesting acquisition data indicated by the profile to the sensor device through the communication unit 13 (S17). After transmitting the command to the sensor device, the processor 11 receives a response including the detection result through the communication unit 13 (S18).

Upon receiving the response, the processor 11 stores the detection result included in the response in the form information (S19).

When the detection result or the like is stored in the form information, or when it is determined that both UUIDs do not match (S15, NO), the processor 11 determines whether there is another record corresponding to the area (S20). .

If it is determined that another record exists (S20, YES), the processor 11 returns to S12.
When determining that there is no other record (S20, NO), the processor 11 returns to S11.

If it is determined that both UUIDs do not match (S15, NO), or if the UUID cannot be obtained, the processor 11 may return to S14. If the processor 11 determines that both UUIDs do not match after performing S14 a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined period of time, or if the UUID cannot be obtained, the processor 11 may proceed to S20.

Moreover, the processor 11 may display an error on the display unit 15 when determining that both UUIDs do not match (S15, NO) or when the UUID cannot be obtained.

Also, if no ID and password are set for the sensor device, the processor 11 does not have to execute S16.

Further, when the response from the sensor device includes the date and time of measurement, the processor 11 may store the date and time of measurement in the form information.

Also, the processor 11 may transmit the form information to an external device through the communication unit 13 or the like.

In addition, the processor 11 may acquire the measured values from the sensor devices of the UUIDs indicated by the form information all at once according to an operation input to the operation unit 14 . That is, the processor 11 may acquire measurement values from each sensor device by setting each record in order without setting a record for each area.

Alternatively, the processor 11 may automatically identify the area in which it is located. For example, processor 11 may use a positioning system to identify the area in which it is located. In this case, when processor 11 detects that it has entered an area, processor 11 may acquire detection results from each sensor device in the area.
Further, the information processing device 10 may move independently to each area.

Further, the information processing apparatus 10 may transmit the form information to the cloud server.

Also, the sensor system 1 may identify the sensor device using a serial number unique to the sensor device instead of the UUID. Also, the sensor system 1 may identify the sensor device using the serial number of the sensor device instead of the UUID.
