Communication checker, communication-state detection system and method for checking communication state
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication checker comprising:
- a first detector for detecting the communication state in a first wireless communication method; and
a second detector for detecting the communication state in a second wireless communication method, said second wireless communication method being different from said first wireless communication method;
whereinsaid communication checker checks the communication state at a site where a master unit that communicates with a plurality of slave units and a management server is planned to be installed,said master unit and said plurality of slave units communicate with each other in said first wireless communication method, while said master unit and said management server communicate with each other in said second wireless communication method,said communication checker communicates with said plurality of slave units and said management server, andsaid management server is provided separately from said plurality of slave units.

7. A communication-state detection system using a communication checker having a first detector for detecting the communication state in a first wireless communication method and a second detector for detecting the communication state in a second wireless communication method, said second wireless communication method being different from said first wireless communication method, wherein
said communication checker checks the communication state at a site where a master unit that communicates with a plurality of slave units and a management server is planned to be installed, said master unit and said plurality of slave units communicate with each other in said first wireless communication method, while said master unit and said management server communicate with each other in said second wireless communication method, and wherein said management server stores the communication states which are detected by said communication checker, between said plurality of slave units and said master unit communicating in said first wireless communication method, said communication-state detection system comprising: -
a network accessible via said second wireless communication method; and a mobile terminal accessible to said network, wherein said mobile terminal can access to said management server via said network to check the communication states between said plurality of slave units and said master unit communicating in said first wireless communication method, wherein said communication checker communicates with said plurality of slave units and said management server, and wherein said management server is provided separately from said plurality of slave units. - View Dependent Claims (8)

9. A method for checking communication states at a site where a master unit communicating with a plurality of slave units and a management server is planned to be installed, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting the communication state with the slave units in a first wireless communication method by a communication checker at a site where said master unit is planned to be installed; detecting the communication state with said management server in a second wireless communication method by said communication checker at a site where said master unit is planned to be installed, said second wireless communication method being different from said first wireless communication method; checking the communication state at a site where a master unit that communicates with a plurality of slave units and a management server is planned to be installed; performing, by said master unit and said plurality of slave units, communication with each other in said first wireless communication method; and performing, by said master unit and said management server, communication with each other in said second wireless communication method, wherein said communication checker communicates with said plurality of slave units and said management server, and wherein said management server is provided separately from said plurality of slave units. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
