When the indoor controller transmits the indoor environment information and the internal temperature information of the peripheral devices to the data collector, the indoor controller attaches a unique address value to each numerical value representing the indoor environment information and the internal temperature information. For example, the indoor environment information is temperature information and humidity information. When the peripheral device includes peripheral device A, peripheral device B, and peripheral device C, the address of the temperature information is 0x01, the address of the humidity information is 0x02, The address of the internal temperature information may be designated as 0x03, the address of the internal temperature information of the peripheral device B as 0x04, and the address of the internal temperature information of the peripheral device C as 0x05. For reference, '0x' is a prefix indicating that the following number is a hexadecimal number, 0x1F means hexadecimal 1F, and 0xB1CD means hexadecimal B1CD.

Hexadecimal representation of temperature 28 ° C is 0x1C, hexadecimal representation of humidity 70% is 0x46, hexadecimal representation of internal temperature 50 ° C of peripheral device A is 0x32, hexadecimal representation of internal temperature 40 ° C of peripheral device B Is 0x28, and the hexadecimal representation of the internal temperature of the peripheral device C is 55 ° C. When the indoor control device transmits the temperature, humidity, and the internal temperature of the peripheral devices at the time of 1:00:00 PM, the numerical value representing each information is transmitted with a unique address value. As a result of adding a unique address value, the temperature is displayed as 0x011C, the humidity is displayed as 0x0246, the internal temperature of peripheral device A is displayed as 0x0332, the internal temperature of peripheral device B is indicated as 0x0428, The internal temperature is represented by 0x0537.

The indoor controller attaches the above-described data to its own ID value and transmits it. When the unique ID value of the indoor controller is 0xA1, the data transmitted by the indoor controller to the data collector for the PM 1:00:00 time point in Table 1 is 0xA1011C0246033204280537.

The indoor environment information and the internal temperature information of the same value continuously received in time from among the data transmitted by the indoor control apparatus of Table 1 are burdensome and unnecessary data from the viewpoint of the integrated control server 600. Accordingly, the data collector filters the redundant data continuously received in time from among the data received from the indoor control device and transmits the duplicated data to the integrated control server 600.

Data collected by the data collector to the integrated control server 600 by filtering the duplicate values in the data of Table 1 is shown in Table 2.

time	Temperature (℃)	Humidity(%)	Internal temperature (℃) (peripheral device A)	Internal temperature (℃) (peripheral device B)	Internal Temperature (℃) (Peripheral Device C)
PM 1:00:00	28	70	50	40	55
PM 1:00:05	27	65	Don't send	Don't send	Don't send
PM 1:00:10	26	60	45	35	50
PM 1:00:15	25	Don't send	Don't send	Don't send	Don't send
PM 1:00:20	24	50	Don't send	Don't send	45
PM 1:00:25	Don't send	Don't send	40	Don't send	Don't send
PM 1:00:30	Don't send	Don't send	Don't send	30	40
PM 1:00:50	25	55	Don't send	35	45

The data transmitted by the indoor controller to the data collector for the time of 1:00:00 PM is 0xA1011C0246033204280537, and the data transmitted by the data collector to the integrated control server 600 are 0xA1011C0246033204280537, and both are the same.

However, since the data is transmitted after the first transmission, the length of the data to be transmitted is greatly reduced.

The data transmitted by the indoor control device to the data collector for the time of PM 1:00:05 is 0xA1011B0241033204280537, while the data that the data collector transmits to the integrated control server 600 is 0xA1011B0241.

That is, the length of data transmitted by the data collector to the integrated control server 600 is variable according to the number of duplicated data. The more redundant data, the shorter the length of data transmitted by the indoor control device to the data collector. As a result, since the integrated control server 600 receives the first data, the overall receiving buffer of the data is shortened. It is faster, and the load on data processing is reduced.
