Abstract
By pushing the registration switch of a main controller, a radio signal for requesting the transmission of a terminal-device ID number is transmitted (SP1, SP2). A wireless sensor sends back the terminal-device ID number (SP11, SP12), and the main controller stores the received terminal-device ID number in its storage unit and transmits a main-controller device ID number (SP4, SP5). The wireless sensor stores the main-controller device ID number in its storage unit. From then on, communications between devices whose device ID numbers have been registered are permitted.

12. A monitoring system comprising a terminal device having terminal identifying information for identifying itself and a main control device controlling said terminal device, wherein
said terminal device includes an identifying-information output unit that transmits the terminal identifying information of the terminal device as a radio signal in response to receipt of a request signal for the terminal identifying information wirelessly transmitted from said main control device, and said main control device includes: -
a transmitting unit that transmits said request signal for the terminal identifying information as a radio signal; a receiving unit that receives the terminal identifying information as a radio signal transmitted back from said terminal device; and a first storage unit that stores the terminal identifying information in response to receipt of the terminal identifying information by said receiving unit. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

20. A method for registering a terminal device by registering terminal identifying information for identifying the terminal device, comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting a request signal for said terminal identifying information as a radio signal; receiving the terminal identifying information transmitted back in response to said radio signal; and storing the terminal identifying information in response to receipt of said terminal identifying information.
-
-
21. A recording medium in which a program used to register terminal identifying information for identifying a terminal device is recorded to perform the functions of:
-
a transmitting unit that transmits a request signal for requesting said terminal identifying information as a radio signal; a receiving unit that receives the terminal identifying information as a radio signal transmitted back from said terminal device; and a storage unit that stores the terminal identifying information in response to receipt of said terminal identifying information by said receiving unit.
