Abstract
Abstract A center control apparatus (1) sequentially transmits (2) a request for transmitting information indicating a movement status of an associated moving body to the respective moving body terminals (3-1,...3-n) at predetermined intervals. In response to the request, each moving body automatically transmits (5) the movement status information to the center control apparatus. Such information may include a present position of the associated moving body, which is obtained by, e.g., a satellite-based position detecting device (4,20).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A remote monitoring and controlling system for a plurality of moving bodies, comprising: a center control apparatus (1) comprising: means (9) for producing a request signal for requesting each of the plurality of moving bodies to transmit movement status information indicating its own movement status; means (2,15,17;16,18) for sequentially transmitting the request signal to the respective moving terminals at predetermined intervals; and means (2,15,17;16,18) for receiving the movement status information sequentially transmitted from the respective moving body terminals; and a moving body terminal (3-1,...3-n), at each of the plurality of moving bodies, comprising: means (19), responsive to the request signal, for automatically producing the movement status information; and means (5,29,31) for transmitting the movement status information to the center control apparatus.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
The system of claim 1, wherein the moving body terminal further comprises means (4,20;21,22) for detecting a present position of an associated moving body to produce positional information, and wherein the movement status information includes the positional information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
The system of claim 2, wherein the position detecting means comprises: an antenna (4) for receiving a position-determining signal transmitted from a GPS satellite; a GPS receiver (20) for producing a movement distance signal and a direction signal based on the received position-determining signal; and data processing device (19) for producing the positional information of the associated moving body based on the movement distance signal and the direction signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
84 words
The system of claim 2, wherein the position detecting means comprises: a speed detecting device (22), provided in the associated moving body, for detecting a moving speed of the associated moving body to produce a speed signal; a movement direction detecting device (21), provided in the associated moving body, for detecting a moving direction of the associated moving body to produce a direction signal; and a data processing device (19) for producing the positional information based on the speed signal and the direction signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The system of claim 1, wherein the center control apparatus transmits the request signal and receives the movement status information in the form of a radio signal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The system of claim 1, wherein the center control apparatus transmits the request signal and receives the movement status information via a relay station (7) and commercial telephone lines (18).
