Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a transmission time to a child device and the entire time of information transmission by transmitting a transmission order signal to all child devices at a determined period by a parent device simultaneously and receiving a frequency modulation signal transmitted from the child devices in order. CONSTITUTION:Child devices 11-1n, 21-2n are divided into at least two groups A, B and given a transmission instruction signal Fs1 from a parent device 3. The child devices decide a self-transmission order according to the transmission instruction signal previously in respective groups and when the self- transmission order becomes ready, the self-transmission data is transmitted to respective groups as peculiar frequency modulation signals F11-F1n, F21-F2n. Further, the parent device transmits the transmission order signal to all child devices at a decided period simultaneously and receives the frequency modulation signals transmitted in order from the child devices. Thereby, the parent device is not required to call the child devices in order. Therefore, the transmission time for the child devices can be shortened and the entire time of the information transmission can be also shortened.

In the polling type information transmission device, the parent device individually transmits a transmission command signal to each child device, each child device responds to the transmission command signal, and transmits its own transmission data to the parent device as a reply signal. The transmission command signal and the reply signal are transmitted as a frequency shift keying signal (hereinafter referred to as an FSK signal). The transmission command signal and the reply signal are FSK signals in different frequency bands. The child device is often installed far away from the parent device. In addition, various devices are provided in the vicinity, and the frequency band that can be used in this device is limited to a narrow band.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of another embodiment of the information transmission apparatus according to the present invention. This embodiment is shown in FIG.
It shows a case where the embodiment of (1) is made into a plurality of systems. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same components. Reference numerals 41, 43, 51 and 53 are bandpass filter circuits, and 42 and 52 are amplifiers. The bandpass filter circuits 41 and 43 allow the frequency fs1 of the transmission command signal Fs1 to pass. Bandpass filter circuits 51 and 53
Are frequencies f1, f11, f of the frequency modulated signals F11 to F1n.
Pass 10. The amplifiers 42 and 52 transmit the transmission command signal F
s1, the frequency modulation signals F11 to F1n are amplified. Since the transmission command signal Fs1 and the frequency modulation signals F11 to F1n have different frequency bands, the bandpass filter circuit (41,
43), (51, 53) separated by an amplifier 42,
Amplified individually by 52. This enables long distance transmission. When it is necessary to amplify the frequency modulation signals F21 to F2n, a bandpass filter circuit and an amplifier may be provided in the transmission line of the B group.
