Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily recognize the total state of data monitoring from the color change of an icon in a window when an abnormal state of data, etc., is monitored. CONSTITUTION:The monitor information display device, having a 1st means 2 which converts input data into processable data, a 2nd means 4 which performs a process for displaying the data and makes a window display of plural icons at a display part 5, a 3rd means 7 which supplies information on the window display of the icons to the 2nd means 4, includes a 4th means 8 which supplies monitor abnormality information divided into specific stages to the 2nd means 4 and a 3rd means 7 containing information for giving color variations to the respective icons corresponding to the specific stages.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a monitoring information display device having a function of displaying a status by an icon in a data collection monitoring system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional monitoring information display device, as shown in FIG. 2, includes an interface device 9 for converting monitoring data into a signal capable of data processing, a data collection monitoring device 10A,
A data display window information file 7A for storing data for notifying monitoring information by inserting a window display portion into the display content of data, and a mouse 6 for designating a point of display content of the window.
Here, the data collection monitoring device 10A inputs the data from the data input processing unit 2 and the data input processing unit 2 which processes the data from the interface device 9 in a displayable form,
It is composed of a data display processing unit 4 for converting into a display format including a window and a display unit 5. When the window of the data collection monitoring device 10A equipped with the above-mentioned functional parts is provided with an icon display, when the display data becomes abnormal, a window for displaying an abnormality occurrence message is provided on the screen, and a message is displayed in this window. Automatically switch from icon to window message display for display. I was reading this message and monitoring it.

[0003]

Since the conventional display unit is a system for transmitting abnormality information by a message,
Notify by displaying the message by suspending the icon. Therefore, when data abnormality occurs in multiple iconized windows, the message scrolls and only a message that always notifies the latest state remains, so the user pays attention only to the displayed message, There is a drawback that the overall condition cannot be grasped. Also,
Even when the icon is automatically redisplayed as a window, if an error occurs in the data displayed in multiple iconified windows at the same time, the window with the higher priority is displayed immediately, but the window with the lower priority is displayed. The state has a drawback that information cannot be grasped immediately.

[0004]

A monitoring information display device according to the present invention comprises a first means for converting input data into processable data, a process for displaying the data, and a plurality of icons on the display section. Second means for performing the window display processing and the iconized window display information as the second
Monitoring means for displaying monitoring abnormality information divided into predetermined stages to the second means and corresponding to the predetermined stage. It is characterized in that the third means includes information for giving a color change to each icon.

[0005]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
1, the same reference numerals as those in the conventional example of FIG. 2 have the same functions. That is, the embodiment of FIG. 1 is provided with a data conversion information file 8 to be described later and a data collection monitoring device 1 provided with a data conversion processing unit 3. The data conversion information file 8 is registered with various types of abnormalities for determining abnormalities in data, and the color change information of the icon corresponding to the type of abnormal data is registered in the data display window information file 7. To make the currently displayed window into an icon, select the icon button of the window with the mouse. If an abnormality occurs in the data after becoming an icon, the color of the icon is changed based on the color information registered in the data display window information file. Therefore, the color change of a plurality of icons is displayed on the display unit 5 at the same time, instead of the notification of the abnormality information that is displayed by scrolling the abnormality information of the conventional example sequentially.
Even when a plurality of abnormalities occur, it is possible to comprehensively judge the abnormality information by monitoring the plurality of icons.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the data conversion information conversion file, the data conversion processing section, and the data display window information file to which the color change of the icon can be added, the individual error messages can be monitored. Without doing so, by making the window an icon and monitoring the color of the icon, it is possible to grasp the abnormal state of the entire data.
