Abstract
When the multiple sensors monitored by a sensor management unit, input sensor information into the entrance node, a sensor type identifier unit utilizes a buffer management table to buffer the data according to the sensor type. A start decision unit utilizes a processing start setting table containing accumulated start conditions for each application to execute the computation processing required by the processor units for processing the buffered sensor data according to the required application. A transmit condition decision unit decides whether or not to transmit the computation results to an external device or a CPU, and based on those decision results, transmits the computation results to the CPU or the upstream intelligent node.
