  • Patent number: 12021681
    Abstract: It is provided a communication device which transfers a signal, comprising: an arithmetic device configured to execute predetermined processing; a storage device accessible from the arithmetic device; a log collection module configured to collect first type logs from at least one of the communication device or an equipment coupled to the communication device; an alert generation module configured to generate alert when one of the collected the first type logs satisfies a predetermined condition; and a failure cause candidate determination module configured to determine failure cause candidates in response to the generated alert, and output, to the log collection module, an additional log collection request for collecting second type logs in an additional log collection order that is set based on the determined failure cause candidates.

  • Patent number: 10261511
    Abstract: A mobile apparatus includes a position detection device, and an autonomous mobile body. The position detection device includes input means for inputting route data, a distance sensor, map data, position identification means, and relative route calculation means for calculating a relative position and a relative angle to a position of the target point from the position data and the route data of the mobile body. The autonomous mobile body includes a controller that controls an autonomous travel of the autonomous mobile body itself by using the relative position and the relative angle received from the position detection device as control signals.
