Abstract

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a data transmission apparatus includes a transmission control unit which generates a packet for one-way communication including first difference sensor data, and a transmission unit which transmits the generated packet. The first difference sensor data is a difference between first sensor data measured by a sensor and a reference value associated with the first sensor data.

Claims (26)

1. A data transmission apparatus which communicates with a data reception apparatus, the data transmission apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected to the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a first packet for one-way communication including first difference sensor data; and

transmit the generated first packet,

the first difference sensor data is a difference between first sensor data measured by a sensor and a reference value associated with the first sensor data,

the processor is configured to generate the first packet to further include an identifier indicative of the reference value being one of a plurality of preset reference values, and

a correspondence between the preset reference values and identifiers is set to the data reception apparatus during initial setting of the data reception apparatus.

2. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the first packet to further include second difference sensor data, and

the second difference sensor data is a difference between second sensor data and the reference value, the second sensor data being measured by the sensor and different from the first sensor data.

3. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to generate a second packet for one-way communication including the first sensor data, instead of generating the first packet when a data size of the first difference sensor data is larger than a data size of the first sensor data, and

the processor is configured to transmit the generated second packet.

4. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first sensor data is biological data.

5. A data reception apparatus which communicates with a data transmission apparatus, the data reception apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected to the memory,

wherein the memory is configured to store a plurality of preset reference values, the processor is configured to:

receive a first packet for one-way communication, the first packet including first difference sensor data and an identifier indicative of a reference value associated with the first difference sensor data being one of the preset reference values; and

restore first sensor data, which is a base of the first difference sensor data, by selecting a preset reference value indicated by the identifier included in the received first packet from the preset reference values and adding the first difference sensor data included in the received first packet to the selected preset reference value,

the first difference sensor data is a difference between the first sensor data and the reference value, and

a correspondence between the preset reference values and identifiers is set to the data reception apparatus during initial setting of the data reception apparatus.

6. The data reception apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the first packet further includes second difference sensor data,

the processor is configured to restore second sensor data, which is a base of the second difference sensor data, by adding the second difference sensor data included in the received first packet to the reference value, and

the second difference sensor data is a difference between the second sensor data and the reference value.

7. The data reception apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the first sensor data is biological data.
