Abstract

A wireless device connected to a plurality of wireless control devices connecting with a monitoring device, and controlled and monitored by the monitoring device via the wireless control device, the wireless device includes a transmitting and receiving unit transmitting and receiving a signal to and from the wireless control device. The wireless device includes a selecting unit selecting, from within the plurality of wireless control devices, the one wireless control device which transmits and receives a control and monitor signal, contained in the signal, by which the monitoring device controls and monitors a self-device.

Claims

1. A wireless device connected to a plurality of wireless control devices connecting with a monitoring device, and controlled and monitored by the monitoring device via the wireless control device, the wireless device comprising:

a transmitting and receiving unit transmitting and receiving a signal to and from the wireless control device; and

a selecting unit selecting, from within the plurality of wireless control devices, the one wireless control device which transmits and receives a control and monitor signal, contained in the signal, by which the monitoring device controls and monitors a self-device.

2. A wireless device according to claim 1, further comprising a line status detecting unit detecting a line status between the wireless control device and the self-device,

wherein the selecting unit selects the wireless control device on the basis of the line status detected by the line status detecting unit.

3. A wireless device according to claim 1, wherein the signal contains line status information representing the line status between the wireless control device which transmits the signal and the self-device, and

said selecting unit selects, based on the line status information, the one wireless control device which transmits and receives the control and monitor signal by which the monitoring device controls and monitors the self-device.

4. A wireless device according to claim 1, wherein the signal contains selecting request information representing that the selecting unit makes a request for selecting the wireless control device which transmits the signal, and

said selecting unit selects, based on the selecting request information, the one wireless control device which transmits and receives the control and monitor signal by which the monitoring device controls and monitors the self-device.

5. A wireless device according to claim 1, further comprising a storage unit stored with priority level information of the wireless control device which transmits and receives the control and monitor signal contained in the signal,

wherein the selecting unit selects the one wireless control device which transmits and receives the control and monitor signal by which the monitoring device controls and monitors the self-device in accordance with the priority level information stored in the storage unit.

6. A wireless device according to claim 1, further comprising a status monitoring unit monitoring a status of the self-device,

wherein the transmitting and receiving unit determines, based on the status of the self-device that is monitored by the status monitoring unit, receivability of data sent from the each wireless control device, adds the receivability information of the data sent from the each wireless control device on the basis of the determination to the signal, and transmits the signal to the each wireless control device.

7. A wireless device controlling and monitoring method, in a wireless device connected to a plurality of wireless control devices connecting with a monitoring device, and controlled and monitored by the monitoring device via the wireless control device, by which the wireless device executes:

transmitting and receiving a signal to and from the wireless control device; and

selecting, from within the plurality of wireless control devices, the one wireless control device which transmits and receives a control and monitor signal, contained in the signal, by which the monitoring device controls and monitors a self-device.
