Transmission device, reception device, transmission method, reception method, and communication system
A first wireless device is mountable in a vehicle. An acquiring unit acquires position information on the vehicle in which the first wireless device is mounted. A calculating unit calculates a difference between the position information acquired by the acquiring unit and an ideal route for the vehicle. A communication unit transmits a packet signal that contains the difference calculated by the calculating unit and the position information acquired by the acquiring unit.
1. A reception device that is mountable in a vehicle, comprising:
a receiver that receives a signal from a transmission device mounted in another vehicle, the signal containing position information on the another vehicle and a difference between the position information on the another vehicle and an ideal route for the another vehicle; and
a processor and a memory that stores a set of executable instructions such that the processor, when executing the set of executable instructions, causes the processor to perform:
a process, based on the difference and the position information that is contained in the signal received by the receiver, and
changing a running condition for the vehicle when a magnitude of the difference contained in the signal received by the receiver is greater than a threshold.
2. The reception device according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor, when executing the set of executable instructions, causes the processor to further perform:
correcting the position information on the another vehicle with the difference; and
generating a following route of the vehicle in which the reception device is mounted, based on a history of the corrected position information.
3. The reception device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the difference is defined as a first difference,
the processor, when executing the set of executable instructions, causes the processor to further perform:
acquiring the position information on the vehicle;
calculating a second difference between the position information of the vehicle and the following route; and
changing the running condition for the vehicle, based on the first difference and the second difference.
4. The reception device according to claim 1 , wherein
the signal received by the receiver contains first information corresponding to the another vehicle, and
the processor, when executing the set of executable instructions, causes the processor to further perform changing the running condition for the vehicle, based on the first information regarding the another vehicle and second information corresponding to the vehicle, the first information being contained in the signal received by the receiver.
5. A reception method in a reception device that is mountable in a vehicle, the reception method comprising:
receiving a signal from a transmission device mounted in another vehicle, the signal containing position information on the another vehicle and a difference between the position information on the another vehicle and an ideal route for the another vehicle;
performing a process, based on the difference and the position information that is contained in the received signal; and
changing a running condition for the vehicle when a magnitude of the difference contained in the signal received by the receiver is greater than a threshold.
6. A communication system comprising:
a transmission device that is mountable in a vehicle, the transmission device including:
a transmission processor and a transmission memory that stores a set of executable transmission instructions such that the transmission processor, when executing the set of executable transmission instructions, causes the transmission processor to perform:
acquiring position information on the vehicle in which the transmission device is mounted, and
calculating a difference between the acquired position information and an ideal route for the vehicle, and
a transmitter that transmits the calculated difference and the acquired position information,
a reception device that is mountable in another vehicle, the reception device including:
a receiver that receives a signal from the transmission device, the signal containing the difference and the position information from the transmission device, and
a reception processor and a reception memory that stores a set of executable reception instructions such that the reception processor, when executing the set of executable reception instructions, causes the reception processor to perform:
a process, based on the difference and the position information that is contained in the signal received by the receiver, and
changing a running condition for the another vehicle when a magnitude of the difference contained in the signal received by the receiver is greater than a threshold.
