  • Publication number: 20240121507
    Abstract: Reduction in power consumption of a video camera and a remote controller that displays a captured image of the video camera and improvement of operability are achieved. In a system including the video camera and the remote controller that displays a captured image of the video camera, when a period in which there is no operation on the operation unit of the remote controller reaches a first prescribed time, transmission of the captured image from the video camera to the remote controller via Wi-Fi communication and displaying processing on a display unit of the remote controller are stopped. Further, when a period in which there is no operation on the operation unit of the remote controller reaches a second prescribed time, the Wi-Fi communication is interrupted. Valid operation unit information in each mode is displayed on the display unit of the remote controller.

  • Publication number: 20240098005
    Abstract: A master station (111) and a slave station (121) each communicate an individually set, fixed number of communication frames in a cyclic period. The communication frame contains, as communication information, a sequence number and a period number. The master base station (113) and the slave base station (123) determine, upon communication of each communication frame in a wireless manner, if there is a missing communication frame on a basis of the communication information of a this-time communication frame and the communication information of a last-time communication frame. When there is a missing communication frame, a history management server (300) records communication history information of the last-time communication frame and of the this-time communication frame, as preceding/succeeding history information.
