Publication number: 20130297260Abstract: An analysis sever capable of performing analysis among a large amount of sensor data in order to obtain an analysis result that a reader desires and outputting the result instantaneously. The analysis server rearranges the sensor data acquired from a sensor node into time series data. The analysis is performed separately for time trigger analysis (D) and for event trigger analysis (F) depending on analysis contents. In the time trigger analysis (D), analysis processing that is basically needed when visualizing a state of an organization is performed. In the event trigger analysis (F), an analysis result obtained by the time trigger analysis (D) is processed using the reader's desired information and is outputted.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventors: Nobuo SATO, Satomi TSUJI, Kazuo YANO, Norihiko MORIWAKI, Norio OHKUBO, Yoshihiro WAKISAKA

Publication number: 20130272714Abstract: A state control system comprises a portable terminal and a control apparatus. The portable terminal sends a signal including identification information to an external. The control apparatus controls a controlled object in either one of a locked state and an unlocked state based on the signal sent from the portable terminal. The portable terminal sends a first signal, in a case where a event detector has not detected the event, and sends a second signal having a data length longer than a data length of the first signal, in a case where the event detector has detected the event. The control apparatus controls a controlled object to the unlocked state in a case where the controlled object is in the locked state and the controlled apparatus receives the second signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2013Publication date: October 17, 2013Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Norio OHKUBO, Yoshihiro WAKISAKA, Miki HAYAKAWA

Patent number: 8438249Abstract: A sensor-Net system includes sensor nodes which are in intermittent operation so as to save power by repeating activated state and inactivated state at a regular interval. Synchronization of time in the system is executed by aligning to the intermittent operation of the sensor nodes. A management server issues a setTime command for configuring the time to each gateway node at a specified interval. Each router node sets or corrects the time of it based on the time received from the gateway node and thereafter turns ON the time configuration flag for each sensor node in order to expand the setTime command to all of its sibling sensor nodes. The router node, upon reception of a polling, which is a command request, from the sensor node, obtains the time at that time, then uses the time to generate a setTime command to transmit to that sensor node.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2008Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takehiro Urano, Keiro Muro, Toshiyuki Odaka, Minoru Ogushi, Yoshihiro Wakisaka

Patent number: 8036883Abstract: By individuals in an organization possessing a portable node and acquiring sound information, an electronic device and a system that analyze human behavior, group formation, and an activity level of the organization and a system is provided. In an electronic device that has a radio communication unit and a microcomputer, sound is converted into an electrical signal by a microphone, and sound waveform information and characteristic information of sound are obtained using an amplifier, a filter, and an envelope generating circuit. An envelope signal being characteristic information of sound is compared with a reference value by a comparator. Characteristic information of sound when the signal does not reach the reference value, and sound waveform information when greater than the reference value are transmitted from the radio communication unit. The server learns human behavior, group formation; and an activity level of an organization by receiving and analyzing these pieces of information.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2007Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Norio Ohkubo, Nobuo Sato, Yoshihiro Wakisaka

Patent number: 7936255Abstract: Face-to-face detection by infrared-ray communication is effective in grasping interaction between persons. However the problem here is that infrared rays have a high directivity and detection fails unless the persons face each other right in front. Sensor signals having a high directivity and sensor signals having a low directivity are obtained from a sensor terminal (TR) carried by a person. Firstly, information on relative position is obtained with a sensor (TRIR) of infrared rays or the like having a high directivity and an initial group is formed at an application server (AS). A feature amount such as sound that has a low directivity and can sense surrounding environmental information is extracted from among the terminals (TRs) belonging to the initial group by personal feature extraction (ASIF), correlation with terminals (TRs) not belonging to a group is obtained, and thereby whether or not those terminals (TRs) belong to an identical group is judged.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2009Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Nobuo Sato, Norio Ohkubo, Norihiko Moriwaki, Yoshihiro Wakisaka
