Title: Shinya Tamaki: Advancing Reliable Sensor Data Communication

Introduction

Shinya Tamaki is an inventor based in Musashino, Japan, associated with NTT Corporation. His work focuses on communication systems that connect lighting devices and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to support reliable, cost-effective sensing.

Latest Patents

Tamaki is credited with 1 patent, titled “Communication Systems, Controls, Control Methods, and Programs.” The invention describes a system in which lighting devices emit modulated light beams, and an IoT device receives those signals and uses information from them as metadata. The IoT device sends the metadata alongside collected sensor data to a control device. The control device manages the generation and output of the modulated light, estimates the IoT device’s position from the metadata, and stores that position in association with the sensor data. The approach aims to acquire highly reliable sensor data inexpensively.

Career Highlights

Tamaki’s patent reflects work at the intersection of optical communication, IoT sensing, and device positioning. By linking sensor readings with position estimates derived from modulated light, the system offers a way to organize and contextualize collected data.

Collaborations

Tamaki is associated with NTT Corporation. His listed coworkers include Ryota Shiina and Tomohiro Taniguchi.

Conclusion

Shinya Tamaki’s patented communication system combines modulated lighting, IoT sensing, and position estimation to support the economical collection of reliable, location-associated sensor data.
