Mobile communication apparatus, monitoring apparatus, monitoring system, monitoring method, monitoring program, and computer-readable recording medium containing the monitoring program
First Claim
1. A mobile communication apparatus which is:
- detachable from a monitoring apparatus that senses a state of a monitoring object, transmits sensing data indicating a sensing result, and is provided in the monitoring object; and
connectable to a report destination via a communication network, the mobile communication apparatus being characterized by comprising;
a receiving unit for receiving the sensing data;
a judgment unit for judging the state of the monitoring object, in accordance with the sensing data;
a decision unit for determining a report destination to which connection should be made, in accordance with a judgment result produced by the judgment unit; and
a communication unit for establishing connection to the report destination determined by the decision unit.

Abstract
A mobile communication device (3) can be disconnected form a vehicle monitoring apparatus (1) arranged on vehicle for sensing the state of the vehicle as a monitoring object and transmitting sensing data representing the sensing result. The mobile communication device (3) can also be connected via a communication network (4) to a report destination. The mobile communication device (3) includes a judgment unit (41a) for judging the state of the vehicle according to the sensing data, a decision unit (41b) for deciding a report destination to be connected according to the judgment result of the judgment unit (41a), and a communication unit (42) for receiving the sensing data and establishing a connection with the report destination decided by the decision unit (41b). Thus, it is possible to report the abnormal state of the vehicle sensed to an appropriate report destination in a short time.
