RELAY DEVICE, AUTOMATED RADIO METER READING SYSTEM, AND RELAY METHOD

摘要

A relay device for relaying communication information communicated between an access point and an adapter, said relay device comprises a reception means for receiving the communication information transmitted to said relay device itself; a memory means having one or more memory areas, the memory means being configured to store ID of each communication device which is a next transmission destination, in each of the memory areas; a reading means for reading route information from the communication information, said route information including information specifying the memory area containing the ID of the communication device which is the next transmission destination and indicating a route constituted by communication devices provided in a range from at least said relay device itself to a final transmission destination; a transmission destination identifying means for identifying the ID of the communication device which is the next transmission destination, based on the memory area stored in the memory means and the route information read by the reading means; and a transmission means for transmitting the communication information to the communication device identified by the transmission destination identifying means.
