Abstract
There is provided a data collecting device configured to collect data from a plurality of nodes. An inquiry transmitting unit transmits inquiry messages to request transmission of the data to the nodes, respectively. A response receiving unit receives response messages including the data from the nodes, respectively. A reception scheduler generates a reception schedule of the response messages from the nodes based on request information indicating data collection condition from the nodes. A transmission scheduler generates a transmission schedule of the inquiry messages based on the reception schedule and characteristics of communication with the nodes. The inquiry transmitting unit transmits the inquiry messages to the nodes, respectively, based on the transmission schedule.
