Information processing apparatus for transmitting and receiving RF signals
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a physical quantity detector unit which transforms a physical quantity into an electric signal and provides a detected value represented by the electric signal;
a physical quantity determiner unit which determines whether the detected value provided by the physical value quantity detector unit is larger than a given threshold value;
a timer unit which measures a time period during which it continues to be determined that the detected value is not larger than the given threshold value, in response to the determination that the detected value is not larger than the given threshold value after it is determined by the physical quantity determiner unit that the detected value is larger than the given threshold;
a transmitter unit which transmits a request signal for requesting transmission of data, in response to the time period measured by the timer unit transcending a first given time threshold; and
a receiver unit which receives transmitted data which is transmitted in response to the request signal.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a physical quantity detector unit which transforms a physical quantity into an electric signal and provides a detected value represented by the electric signal; a physical quantity determiner unit which determines whether the detected value is larger than a given threshold value; a timer unit which measures a time period during which it continues to be determined that the detected value is not larger than the given threshold value, in response to the determination that the detected value is not larger than the given threshold value after it is determined that the detected value is larger than the given threshold; a transmitter unit which transmits a request signal for requesting transmission of data, when the time period measured by the timer unit transcends a first given time threshold; and a receiver unit which receives transmitted data which is transmitted in response to the request signal.

10. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program which allows an information processing apparatus to realize:
-
a physical quantity input unit which receives an input of an electric signal into which a detected value representative of a physical quantity is transformed; a physical quantity determiner unit which determines whether the detected value is larger than a given threshold value; a timer unit which measures a time period during which it continues to be determined that the detected value is not larger than the given threshold value, in response to the determination that the detected value is not larger than the given threshold value after it is determined by the physical quantity determiner unit that the detected value is larger than the given threshold; and a control unit which controls a transmitter unit to transmit a request signal for requesting transmission of data, in response to the time period measured by the timer unit transcending a first given time threshold, and which further controls a receiver unit to receiving transmitted data which is transmitted in response to the request signal.
