  • Patent number: 11665539
    Abstract: A public key of a sensor node key pair is transmitted from a sensor node 22 to a server 20 via sensor network communication, and furthermore is transmitted from the server 20 to a mobile terminal 25 via mobile line communication. In addition, a public key of a mobile terminal key pair is transmitted from the mobile terminal 25 to the sensor node 22 through local communication. Thus, the configuration allows the sensor node 22 and the mobile terminal 25 to generate a common key by combining their own private key and the public key of the counterpart in order to encrypt the local communication by using this common key.

  • Patent number: 10841027
    Abstract: A broadcast wave synchronization signal converting device that synchronizes broadcast waves with GNSS signals on a reception side and corrects the broadcast waves to global standard times by use of correction values, thereby performing periodic calibrations of frequencies. The broadcast wave synchronization signal converting device includes: a PLL circuit reproduces system clocks on the basis of time information acquired from received broadcast waves; a subtractor (C1) subtracts, from a counter value corresponding to the periodic signal intervals of GNSS signals, a counter value of the system clocks counted at the signal intervals and outputs the difference value; a control amount adjustor calculates a control amount of synchronization as a correction value on the basis of the difference value; and a subtractor (B) subtracts the correction value from the acquired time information and sets the corrected time information to a PCR counter as the internal time information thereof.
