Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the internal structure of a communication computer according to the present invention. The communication computer 2 is formed in a spherical shape in this embodiment, and a strain / electrical mutual conversion unit 4, an ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion unit 6, and a temperature / electrical mutual conversion unit 8 are attached to the outer wall 2a. The outer wall 2a is made of a thin plastic plate. The material of the outer wall 2a may be any material other than plastic as long as it is a metal or other material that allows ultrasonic waves to pass through. The inside of the outer wall 2a is filled with an appropriate insulating material, but may be a hollow structure. The strain / electrical mutual conversion unit 4 includes a strain / electrical mutual conversion element 4a and a CPU (central processing unit) 4b connected to the strain / electrical mutual conversion element 4a. The ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion unit 6 is constituted by an ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion element 6a and a CPU 6 connected thereto. The temperature / electrical mutual conversion unit 8 includes a temperature / electrical mutual conversion element 8a and a CPU 8b connected thereto.

[0009] Each of the CPUs 4b, 6b, and 8b has a unique ID in its memory, and enables each communication computer 2 to be identified. Inside the outer wall 2a, a power path wiring 10 for configuring a power path and a data network wiring 12 for configuring a data network in the communication computer 2 are arranged in a ring shape. A battery 14 built in the outer wall 2 a is connected to the power path wiring 10 via a charge / discharge circuit 16. The CPUs 4b, 6b, and 8b are connected to the power path wiring 10 and the data network wiring 12 through lead wires, respectively. The ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion element 6a has an array structure and has a function of converting ultrasonic waves and electrical signals to each other. The ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion element 6a has a function of converting ultrasonic energy into electric power. Further, the ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion element 6a has directivity, and has a function of estimating the channel when transmitting an ultrasonic wave when transmitting the ultrasonic wave and receiving it.

[0010] The communication computer 2 passes through another ultrasonic communication unit 6 through the ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion unit 6. It is configured to be able to send and receive data to and from the computer 2 and to send and receive data with an external network via ultrasound. Fig. 3 shows a concrete information processor that manages concrete data by embedding a plurality of communication computers 2 in the concrete block 18. Information management of the concrete block 18 is performed using a communication device 20 including a CPU 22, an ultrasonic transmission unit 24, and an ultrasonic reception unit 26 connected to an external network. Power supply from the outside to each communication computer 2 in the concrete block 18 is performed using a power transmission device 28 having an ultrasonic transmission unit. In the communication device 20 and the power transmission device 28, each casing is brought close to the concrete block 18, and the ultrasonic transmission / reception units 24 and 26 of the communication device 20 and the ultrasonic transmission unit of the power transmission device 28 are connected to the concrete block 18. The communication device 20 and the power transmission device 28 and the communication computer 2 in the concrete block 18 perform data transmission / reception and power supply operation using ultrasonic waves.

[0011] A signal transmitted by ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic transmission unit 24 of the communication device 20 is transmitted to the communication computer 2 in the concrete block 18 by the ultrasonic wave. It is received by 6a, converted into an electrical signal, and processed by the CPU 6 connected to the ultrasonic / electrical interconversion element 6a. The signal oscillated from the ultrasonic wave of the communication computer 2 to the other communication computer 2 is received by the ultrasonic / electrical conversion element 6a of the other communication computer 2 in the concrete block 18, It is converted into an electrical signal and processed by the CPU 6b connected to the ultrasonic / electrical mutual conversion element 6a. Also, the ultrasonic signal oscillated from the communication computer 2 in the concrete block 18 toward the communication device 20 is received by the ultrasonic receiver 26 of the communication device 20, converted into an electric signal, and taken into the CPU 22.

[0012] The temperature in the concrete block 18 is detected by the temperature / electrical mutual conversion element 8a of the temperature 'electrical mutual conversion unit 8 built in the communication computer 2 and converted into an electrical signal.

The mutual conversion element 6a oscillates to another communication computer 2 as an ultrasonic signal. Similarly, the strain in the concrete block 18 is detected by the strain / electrical mutual conversion element 4a of the strain electrical / electrical conversion unit 4 built in the communication computer 2 and converted into an electrical signal. The distorted electrical signal detected by the distorted / electrical mutual conversion element 4a is processed by the CPU 4b connected to the distorted-electrical mutual conversion element 4a, and ultrasonically transmitted via the data network in the communication computer 2. It is oscillated to another communication computer 2 as an ultrasonic signal from the electrical mutual conversion element 6a.

As described above, a transmission path is formed in the concrete block 18 using each communication computer 2 as a repeater. A concrete block management program stored in a central processing unit (not shown) connected to the communication device 20 via a network is based on mutual transmission / reception signals between the communication device 20 and the communication computer 2 in the concrete block 18.

The ultrasonic energy oscillated in the concrete block 18 from the power transmission device 28 is converted into electric energy by the ultrasonic / electrical conversion element 6a of each communication computer 2 in the concrete block 18, and the power path wiring 10 And supplied to the charging / discharging circuit 16 of each communication computer 2. The charge / discharge circuit 16 charges the battery 14 by the electric energy supplied from the power path wiring 10 and supplies power to the electronic elements in the communication computer 2.
