Classification: CPC G  A  H | IPC G

Claim 12:
13. A method of collecting sensor data to be executed by a sensor data collection device including
a power supply,
a power supply control circuit configured to control the power supply,
a sensor configured to perform sensing to thereby obtain data,
a memory configured to store the data obtained by the sensor, and
a control circuit configured to control the power supply control circuit, the sensor, and the memory, the method comprising:
supplying, by the power supply control circuit, the sensor, the memory, and the control circuit with electrical power supplied by the power supply; and
making, by the control circuit, the power supply control circuit shut off the electrical power supplied by the power supply to transit to a power-off state after a first operating state is completed, and before a transition to a second operating state is made, wherein the power-off state is a state in which the power supply and a circuit coupled to the power supply control circuit are electrically disconnected by the power supply control circuit,
wherein the control circuit further includes:
a determination section configured to determine whether or not there remains a battery level for transmitting data accumulated in the memory in the second operating state, and
a creation section configured to create a summary of the data accumulated in the memory when the determination section determines that the battery level for transmitting the data does not remain, and
the control circuit makes a wireless communication section transmit the summary of the data created by the creation section external to the sensor data collection device in the second operating state.
