COMMUNICATION MONITORING APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION MONITORING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18024926 Titled 'COMMUNICATION MONITORING APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION MONITORING SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a communication monitoring device and system that can monitor the status of a connection device using an optical passive component. The communication management device in the system includes photodetectors, recognition units, a processing unit, and a transmission unit. The photodetectors are located in the connection device, which connects multiple optical communication lines using an optical passive component to create optical paths for signals. Each photodetector detects the optical signals passing through its corresponding optical path, and each recognition unit determines the state of detection for each photodetector. The processing unit generates information about the communication state of the connection device based on the recognized detection states, and the transmission unit sends this information to a receiving unit outside the communication monitoring device.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided is a communication monitoring device and a communication monitoring system capable of monitoring a state of a connection device that forms an optical path by using an optical passive component. A communication management device () of a communication monitoring system () includes a plurality of photodetectors (), a plurality of recognition units (), a processing unit (), and a transmission unit (). The photodetectors () are provided in a connection device (). The connection device () connects a plurality of optical communication lines () by using an optical passive component to form a plurality of optical paths through which optical signals pass. Each photodetector () detects an optical signal passing through the corresponding optical path. Each recognition unit () recognizes a state of detection of the optical signal by the corresponding photodetector (). The processing unit () generates information regarding a communication state of the connection device () on the basis of information regarding the state of detection recognized by each recognition unit (). The transmission unit () transmits the information regarding the communication state of the connection device () generated by the processing unit () to a receiving unit () outside a communication monitoring device ().
