Abstract:
An optical sensor (3) is installed in an optical path control device (1) that controls an optical path (2) without using an electrical element. The optical sensor (3) detects an optical signal passing through the optical path (2). A communication state determination unit (5) determines a communication state of the optical path (2) based on detection of the optical signal by the optical sensor (3). A position information reception management unit (10) receives and stores position information of the optical path control device (1). An information arrangement unit (6) collectively converts a determination result of the communication state determination unit (5) and the position information into information. A transmission unit (7) transmits the information.
