Abstract

Provided is a control apparatus that controls a data acquisition cycle of a sensor of a mobile device in a control system including the mobile device and a mobile device control apparatus that controls the mobile device by analyzing data periodically acquired by the sensor, the control apparatus including: acquisition means for acquiring a speed of the mobile device; and determination means for determining the data acquisition cycle to be set for the sensor, based on the speed and a maximum data acquisition cycle of the sensor to satisfy an allowable reaction distance in the mobile device.

Claims (18)

1 . A control apparatus that controls a data acquisition cycle of a sensor of a mobile device in a control system including the mobile device and a mobile device control apparatus that controls the mobile device by performing analysis of data periodically acquired by the sensor, the control apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to:

acquire a speed of the mobile device; and

determine the data acquisition cycle to be set for the sensor, based on the speed and a maximum data acquisition cycle of the sensor to satisfy an allowable reaction distance in the mobile device.

2 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the program instructions cause the processor to acquire, as the speed, a legal speed that is determined based on map information, or acquire the speed from the mobile device.

3 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the allowable reaction distance is an allowable reaction distance that is additionally generated in a case where the analysis is performed at the data acquisition cycle set for the sensor as compared with a case where the analysis is performed at the maximum data acquisition cycle.

4 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the program instructions cause the processor to determine the data acquisition cycle to be set for the sensor by further using an acceleration of the mobile device and a time required to set the data acquisition cycle to the sensor.

5 . A control system including a mobile device and a mobile device control apparatus that controls the mobile device by analyzing data periodically acquired by a sensor of the mobile device, the control system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to:

acquire a speed of the mobile device; and

determine a data acquisition cycle to be set for the sensor, based on the speed and a maximum data acquisition cycle of the sensor to satisfy an allowable reaction distance in the mobile device.

6 . The control system according to claim 5 , wherein the program instructions cause the processor to stabilize communication between the mobile device and the mobile device control apparatus, stabilize analysis processing in the mobile device control apparatus, or stabilize both the communication and the analysis processing.

7 . A control method executed by a control apparatus that controls a data acquisition cycle of a sensor of a mobile device in a control system including the mobile device and a mobile device control apparatus that controls the mobile device by analyzing data periodically acquired by the sensor, the control method comprising:

acquiring a speed of the mobile device; and

determining the data acquisition cycle to be set for the sensor, based on the speed and a maximum data acquisition cycle of the sensor to satisfy an allowable reaction distance in the mobile device.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform the control method of claim 7 .
