Application: Fixed terminal device, control method, and control program (Patent ID: US20240187855A1)
The patent filed by Konica Minolta Inc. describes a fixed terminal device capable of transmitting detection data even when the communication destination is outside the communicable area of a private network. The device includes a sensor device, reading units for authentication information, a selection unit to choose the network for data transmission based on sensor data, and a transmission unit to send the data through the selected network after authentication. The device can operate in a range with two different wireless communication networks, selecting between a private wireless line and a mobile carrier or public wireless line based on various factors such as data confidentiality, sensor status, and information amount.
The control method for this fixed terminal device involves detecting a target using a sensor, selecting the appropriate wireless communication network for data transmission based on sensor data, reading authentication information for the selected network, and transmitting the data after authentication. The method also includes data processing steps such as encryption, mosaic processing, and conversion into audio or text information based on the selected network. Additionally, the method can involve generating alarm information in case of abnormal sensor detection and selecting the network based on the detection result. The patent also includes a computer-readable control program stored on a non-transitory recording medium to execute the control method.
