Abstract

A wearable device includes; a near field communication module; a position sensor module that extracts Raw data used for determining positional data, from GNSS data from GNSS satellites; an internal timer that outputs system time after output timing of positional data synchronized with the Raw data; sensor modules having various kinds of sensors that detect moving body information; a storage unit that stores therein detection data from the various kinds of sensors; a unit that stores the detection data from the various kinds of sensors in the storage unit for every given time; a unit that calculates positional data on the basis of the Raw data; aid a unit that creates moving body information so that the system time and the positional data are associated with detection data stored in a memory area, and transmits the moving body information to a display device.

Claims

1. A moving body information detection terminal mounted on a moving body, comprising:

a communication module;

a position sensor module that receives global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data sent from a GNSS satellite and extracts, from the GNSS data, Raw data for obtaining position data;

an internal timer that outputs a system time no more than output timing of the position data synchronized with the Raw data;

a moving body situation detection sensor module comprising a variety of sensors that detect various pieces of information regarding the moving body at intrinsic pieces of timing and output the detected pieces of information as moving body situation detection data;

a storage region where the moving body situation detection data of the variety of sensors are stored;

a unit that overwrites the moving body situation detection data to a predetermined memory region of the storage region every fixed time, the moving body situation detection data being sent from the variety of sensors;

a unit that calculates the position data on the basis of the Raw data; and

a unit that defines the system time and the position data as header information, creates moving body information so that the moving body situation detection data stored in the memory region at a present time point is associated with the header information, and causes the communication module to transmit the created moving body information to an external device.

2. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1,

wherein, upon receiving, through the communication module, a request signal sent from the external device and requesting the moving body information, the unit that creates the moving body information and causes the communication module to transmit the created moving body information to the external device extracts, from the memory region, the moving body situation detection data corresponding to the request signal, and associates the extracted moving body situation detection data with the header information.

3. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 2, further comprising:

a copy region;

a copy section that copies the moving body information on the copy region; and

a resending section that, when the request signal indicates resending, reads the moving body information corresponding to the request signal from the copy region, and transmits the moving body information to the external device.

4. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 2, further comprising:

a pattern memory region; and

a unit that creates a transmission form comprising format regions equivalent to a number corresponding to the variety of sensors in the pattern memory region, the format regions storing therein the moving body situation detection data,

wherein the unit that creates the moving body information and causes the communication module to transmit the created moving body information to the external device

forms the moving body information only of the moving body situation detection data stored in the format regions of the transmission form.

5. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1, further comprising:

a reference position providing station that obtains correction data that is a difference of the position data from a reference position; and

a correction section that corrects the position data based on the correction data sent from the reference position providing station every time when the position data is obtained.

6. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1, wherein the moving body situation detection sensor module comprises a state information detection sensor module that detects an attitude, acceleration and direction of the moving body.

7. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the moving body is a living body, and

the moving body situation detection sensor module comprises a living body information detection sensor module that detects living body information of the living body.

8. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1, wherein the moving body situation detection sensor module comprises an ambient information acquisition sensor module that acquires environment information around the moving body.

9. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1, wherein the system time synchronized with the Raw data is included in the header information.

10. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1, wherein the association of the moving body situation detection data with the position data further causes association with the system time.

11. The moving body information detection terminal according to claim 1, wherein the communication module, the position sensor module, the moving body situation detection sensor module and the internal timer are integrated on a base.
