Abstract: A sensor network system is provided with a plurality of sensor terminals disposed in a predetermined area, and a monitoring center device that collects sensing data wirelessly transmitted from each of the plurality of sensor terminals. The sensor terminals wirelessly and intermittently transmit a transmission signal including sensor identification information and the latest sensing data from the sensors. The monitoring center device has the function of acquiring positional information of the sensor terminals in the predetermined area, and accumulates each item of the sensing data from the sensor terminals as time-series data in association with information about the time of acquisition. On the basis of the positional information of the sensor terminals and the time-series data of the accumulated sensing data, a time-series variation of an environmental element in the predetermined area is visually presented.

Abstract: A sensor terminal is provided with a sensor information storing part for storing sensor information regarding each of different types of sensors that can be connected to a sensor connector part. A sensor type discrimination means discriminates between types of sensors connected to the sensor connector part. A schedule information storing part stores schedule information regarding the connected sensors. On the basis of the discrimination result from the sensor type discrimination means, sensor information regarding the connected sensors is acquired from the sensor information storing part, and schedule information is generated and stored in the schedule information storing part. A control means refers to the schedule information storing part, and on the basis of the schedule information regarding the connected sensor, acquires sensing data and wirelessly transmits the sensing data. A sensor terminal is thus provided merely by connecting and installing different types of sensors.
