- the system 17 of Figures 1 to 3 comprises a control unit, for example integrated in an industrial computer system, in charge of sharing the mechanical and electronic resources of the system 17 to allow collection and distribution by the device 1 constituting a kind of virtual bowl 1, to the destination locations 18 to 21 or physical bowls 18 to 21.
- a control unit for example integrated in an industrial computer system, in charge of sharing the mechanical and electronic resources of the system 17 to allow collection and distribution by the device 1 constituting a kind of virtual bowl 1, to the destination locations 18 to 21 or physical bowls 18 to 21.
- control unit manages both the sharing of non-interactive means (shared resources such as electronic cards, sensors, a ticket printer, a coin bank, etc.) to satisfy the requests. users of the system 17 or 17, and the sharing of the virtual bowl 1 by the non-interactive means.
- non-interactive means shared resources such as electronic cards, sensors, a ticket printer, a coin bank, etc.
- a distribution order to the physical bowls 18 to 21 is determined.
- the distribution can indeed be done at once (the virtual bowl 1 serving a bowl physical 18 to 21 at a time) or several times (the virtual bowl 1 serving several physical bowls 18 to 21 at the same time).
- the determined distribution strategy or the determined distribution order can then be one of the following strategies or orders.
- This determined order may for example be the default distribution order.
- This determined order notably makes it possible to distribute the waiting time on the n destination sites or physical bowls 18 to 21.
- This determined order makes it possible to take into account priorities on certain destination locations, such as the passage of a handicapped user for example.
- the performance criterion may for example be based on the response times for the distribution of objects in each destination location. It is indeed necessary to minimize the waiting times, thus to permanently determine the availability of the devices of the system 17, between them and with respect to the availability of the virtual bowl 1.
- the control unit therefore makes it possible to share the common resources by avoiding interlocking situations, to observe the predetermined distribution strategy, and to optimize at any time the access time to the virtual bowl 1, therefore to all the physical bowls 18 to 21.
- the control unit comprises a load manager able to determine in advance the ideal distribution order.
- a system 17 or distribution machine 17 provides services that can be organized into classes of service (for example selling a token, selling magnetic tickets, reloading money, inspecting a card, etc.) having attributes such as name, service priority (intrinsic and function of external parameters such as the user profile for ticket vending machines).
- classes of service for example selling a token, selling magnetic tickets, reloading money, inspecting a card, etc.
- attributes such as name, service priority (intrinsic and function of external parameters such as the user profile for ticket vending machines).
- the load manager For each CS class of service and each D device used in this class, the load manager records the average TRM response time of the device.
- the average response time includes the interaction time with the user for the interactive devices and the time of use of the device, as shown in Table 1 below.
- Each service can be broken down into elementary tasks corresponding to the use of the devices of the controller or system 17. For example, the sale of a token requires the use of the selection terminal, then the payment terminal and then the distributor token, then the token reader, then the currency rendering dispenser, then the receipt printer, then the virtual bowl 1, then one of the physical bowls 18 to 21.
- a task is defined by the service performing this task, the device used, the start time of the request, the start time of the device, and the end of use time of the device.
- the load manager For each service S (for example 8 maximum in the case of a virtual bowl 1 can serve up to 8 physical bowls 18 to 21 and 8 users), and each task in progress T, the load manager therefore records successively the device start time, device start time, and device end time as shown in Table 2 below.
- the load manager can determine for each service in progress (for example 8 maximum in the case of a virtual bowl 1 can serve up to 8 physical bowls 18 to 21 and 8 users):
- the device can be returned in time for other services that need to use it.
- the load manager calculates and minimizes:
- the load manager averages the results and updates the average response times of the devices.
- the load manager averages the TCSs and updates the average response times of each class of service.
- the invention applies to the automatic management of at least one incoming object stream by sorting or distributing to several outgoing object streams.
