  • Patent number: 9396591
    Abstract: Disclosed is a remote monitoring terminal device for a mobile work vehicle or vessel, capable of informing the user of maximum, minimum, and average values for each sensor and a turn-on count of a switch. The remote monitoring terminal device includes: connection terminals; a data abridging control section for computing minimum, maximum, and average values of data collected over a period from a startup to the latest data acquisition and of actual operation data on actual operation and an occurrence count and durations of a predetermined event, on the basis of operation-state data acquired via the connection terminals and stored in a data storage section; and a communications section. In response to a manual turn-off of a startup switch of the mobile work vehicle or vessel, the data abridging control section transmits data stored in the data storage section, to the remote monitoring device via the communications section.

  • Publication number: 20140325063
    Abstract: There is provided a managing server for a remote monitoring system for communication with a remote monitoring terminal device which acquires a startup date and time via a GPS satellite system upon a startup. In response to a reception from the remote monitoring terminal device of an indication that the remote monitoring terminal device failed to acquire date and time information via the GPS satellite system upon a startup of the remote monitoring terminal device, the managing server transmits date and time information generated from a date and time of reception of the indication to the remote monitoring terminal device.
