A sensor network controller (4) includes: a sensor interface (44)
receiving sensing data transmitted from sensors (5); a data write section
(150) writing the received sensing data and sensing time information
indicating a sensing time of the sensing data in association with each
other to a memory section (42); the memory section (42) storing the
sensing data and the sensing time information; a first data processing
section (144) generating sensing data which is at the timing designated
by a client on the basis of the sensing data and the sensing time
information stored in the memory section (42); and a data output section
(148) outputting the generated sensing data to the client. The client is
enabled to acquire sensing data in accordance with a request even if the
scheme by which the sensors convey sensing data does not match with the
scheme by which the client makes a request for sensing data.
