  • Patent number: 11598740
    Abstract: A server apparatus 10 is communicably connected to a terminal apparatus 20 that collects sensor data from an odor sensor 40. The server apparatus 10 includes an analyzer holding unit 11 that holds a plurality of analyzers for analyzing specific odor analysis targets, based on sensor data, an analyzer management unit 12 that determines preprocessing to be performed on the sensor data, by selecting an analyzer according to the environment of the odor sensor 40, and causes the terminal apparatus 20 to execute the preprocessing, an analysis execution unit 13 that executes analysis processing of the designated odor analysis target, by applying the selected analyzer to the preprocessed sensor data, and an analysis result transmission unit 14 that transmits information indicating a result of the analysis processing to the terminal apparatus 20.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210018479
    Abstract: An odor detection apparatus 100 includes a first odor sensor 10 provided with a sensitive membrane, a second odor sensor 20 provided with an identical sensitive membrane, and a control device 30. The control device 30 includes a sensor data acquisition unit 31 that acquires first sensor data output by the first odor sensor 10 and second sensor data output by the second odor sensor, a calculation processing unit 32 that calculates a difference between the first sensor data and the second sensor data, and a determination unit 33 that determines, when the sensitive membrane of one of the odor sensors is in a steady state, whether the sensitive membrane of the other odor sensor is in a steady state, based on the difference.
