A position detection system is provided in which it is possible to inhibit deterioration in accuracy of detecting a position of a terminal after communication environment is changed even in a case where the communication environment is changed in the position detection system. In the position detection system, a first terminal measures radio wave intensity of radio waves from a plurality of wireless connection devices in the first terminal, and transmits a measurement result to a position detection server through each of the wireless connection devices. A second terminal is disposed in a prescribed position, measures the radio wave intensity of the radio waves from the plurality of wireless connection devices in the prescribed position, generates first reference data including information of the measured radio wave intensity, and transmits the first reference data to the position detection server through the wireless connection devices. The position detection server receives the measurement result and the first reference data, updates the first reference data, which is maintained in a memory in advance, with the received first reference data, and estimates a position of the first terminal based on the measurement result, the updated first reference data, and positional information of the second terminal.

By registering a set range and a sound type which are not subject to detection of an abnormal sound in advance, a PC performs an alert notification in a case of detecting a sound which is regarded as an abnormal sound, and does not perform an alert notification in a case of detecting a sound which is not regarded as an abnormal sound. That is, in a target area such as a hotel lobby, a sound output from a television provided therein, a water sound emitted by a fountain, and the like are no longer erroneously detected as an abnormal sound. Further, the PC forms the directivity of sound data in a direction toward an actual position corresponding to a designated position on an image of a sound pickup area displayed on a display.

Directivity control system, directivity control device, abnormal sound detection system provided with either thereof and directivity control method

A position detection system is provided which is capable of inhibiting an increase in system costs and improving accuracy of detecting a position of a terminal. In the position detection system, a first terminal measures radio waves from a wireless connection device or a second terminal, and transmits a measurement result to a position detection server through the wireless connection device. The position detection server estimates that the first terminal is located in a position of the second terminal which has transmitted the radio waves in a case where the measurement result includes information of the radio waves from the second terminal, and estimates the position of the first terminal based on information of radio wave intensity of the radio waves from the wireless connection device, which is included in the measurement result, reference data, and positional information of the second terminal in a case where the measurement result does not include the information of the radio waves from the second terminal.

A radio communication system of a frequency hopping system, which carries out time division multiplex by TDMA and carries out communications while changing over two or more frequencies with respect to a radio link, wherein radio resources are efficiently utilized by establishing a plurality of radio links. A first communication apparatus periodically transmits control data by a frame cycle and a second communication apparatus which is a communication partner thereof receives the above-described control information during standby and secures synchronization in timing of frames and slots and timing of frequency hopping. Communication signals between both communication apparatuses and control information are overlapped in a slot to establish radio links. Once radio links are established in a plurality of slots other than a slot for transmitting control information, control is performed such that the control information is overlapped in the slots in which a radio link is established.

Radio communication system and communication method

In a time division multiplex access (TDMA-TDD) type wireless communication system in which a communication operation is carried out between a first communication apparatus (mother appliance) and a second communication apparatus (child appliance), and since a slot diversity mode is selected while considering power consumption on the side of the second communication apparatus, the wireless communication system performs such a wireless communication having a higher wireless quality. Based upon a power supply remaining energy capacity on the side of the second communication apparatus, and an electromagnetic wave environment when a wireless signal is received, a slot diversity mode is selected. For example, it is so assumed that 1 frame corresponds to 8 slots, a wireless signal is transmitted from the first communication apparatus to the second communication apparatus by employing two, or more slots, whereas a wireless signal is transmitted from the second communication apparatus to the first communication by employing one slot within the remaining 2 to 6 (8-2) pieces of the slots. As a result, since a total number of the wireless transmission slots used in the second communication apparatus is reduced, transmission electric power can be lowered which may occupy a large ratio within the entire power consumption.

For the purpose of being capable of performing direct inter-handset communications while maintaining inter-handset communications via a base unit, smoothly making a transition from inter-handset communications via a base unit to direct inter-handset communications, and switching to inter-handset communications via a base unit without releasing the communications even in case direct inter-handset communications cannot be established, a local handset includes a direct inter-handset communications controller and a direct inter-handset communications transition controller for making control to establish direct inter-handset communications while maintaining communications with a base unit as well as transmitting control channels for direct inter-handset communications in vacant slots in the receiving time zones for communications with the base unit, while a distant handset includes a direct inter-handset communications controller and a direct inter-handset communications transition controller for scanning control channels for direct inter-handset communications in the time zones other than the slots occupied by communications with the base unit
