`[Summary of the invention]
`
`[Problem to be solved by the invention]
`
`[0004]
`
`In recent years, wireless meter reading and automatic reading of electric, gas and city water hav
`
`e been performed. It is especially energy saving.
`
`In the field of power in which the energy is shuddered, it is necessary to measure a fine use pow
`
`er amount of power consumption, and a communication device is provided.
`
`A large amount of active usage measuring devices are being introduced.
`
`[0005]
`
`In addition, with spread of solar cells, electric power has come to be bought and sold. The electri
`
`c power concerned
`
`There is also a need for a use amount measuring device which has a communication function eve
`n in a trade.
`
`[0006]
`
`In recent years, in a smart grid, power consumption and power generation power are grasped an
`
`d power is interchanged.
`
`Power consumption, power generation power and power consumption of each customer are calcu
`
`lated for each load per load and each home, and power consumption of each customer is calculat
`
`ed.
`
`.
`
`It is necessary to allow the power to be interchanged between an excess load and the like and a
`
`shortage of loads.
`
`*. Therefore, there is a need for an amount of use measuring device which measures power per l
`oad, every home, and every area.
`
`**. The use amount measuring device transmits the usage power amount and power of the load
`
`by communication, and controls the load.
`
`A communication function is required to receive the command. The use amount measuring devic
`
`e is large in quantity.
`
`To install a communication line in a wired communication, and to install a communication line.
`
`It is necessary and complicated. For this reason, radio waves are used as communication media
`
`of the use amount measuring device.
`
`There are many things.
`
`[0007]
`
`Radio wave, however, has a limited propagation distance and transmits and receives radio wave
`
`5.
`
`_
`
`It is possible to communicate only with a usage measuring device located within a certain distanc
`
`e. For this reason, ****
`
`The method of the communication which a constant vessel carries out the receive interruption of
`
`the radio wave of other amount-used measuring instruments, and "multi-hop" [ which transmits

`] Becomes
`
`There is a formula. The network using the "multi-hop" concerned "ad hoc network

`The measuring instrument 10 as an amount—used measuring device [ in / as an example / in the
`
`amount measurement system of the book used / the present invention ]
`
`1 to 114, wireless ad hoc network 150, and wireless communication center device according to th
`
`e present invention
`
`A concentrator 151, an existing network 152, and a center device 153 are provided.
`
`It is considered as a thing.
`
`[0017]
`
`Measuring device 101 includes a power meter with a communication function, a gas meter, a wat
`
`er meter, and a so-called **-**-.
`The power consumption, the amount of use of the gas, or the use of the city water, which is used
`by a customer, is applicable.
`
`The amount is measured, and the use amount data and the like are transmitted by radio wave. T
`
`he measuring device 101 will be described later.
`
`It is an internal configuration shown in 2. Note that the measuring devices 102 to 114 have the s
`
`ame configuration.
`
`[0018]
`
`The measuring devices 101 to 114 constitute a wireless ad hoc network 150. In addition
`
`An ad hoc network, which includes a network, and a network, and a method of manufacturing th
`e same.
`
`It is defined as a work, is constituted by a terminal capable of wireless communication, and is wir
`
`eless communication by the terminal.
`
`The communication path is automatically selected according to the position of each terminal and
`
`the change of the signal.
`
`- * is said. At Fig.1, wireless ad hoc ***-* 150 is 14 sets of * as an example.
`
`Although it is constituted by a thermostat, the present invention is not limited thereto.
`
`[0019]
`
`Concentrator 151 is a concentrator constituted by a hub or the like, and is a wireless ad hoc slav
`e.
`
`It is connected to a work 150 and communicates with each other by radio waves. Cong
`
`The ****-* 151 is connected to an existing network 152 including the Internet.
`
`Continuous, measuring devices 101 to 114 and a sensor connected via an existing network 152
`
`To mediate communication with a processor device 153.
`
`[0020]
`
`The center device 153 is constituted of a personal computer, a mini-con, or the like.
`
`The use amount data of each customer transmitted from the measuring devices 101 to 114 is rec
`
`eived and used by each customer.
`
`To calculate a charge. In addition, the center device 153 is used by the measuring devices 101 to
`114.
`
`For example, power is supplied to a customer who is deficient in power by receiving information r
`
`elating to a situation and the like.
`
`To select a customer located at a short distance from a customer who can be used for a custome
