Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program for monitoring the status of each apparatus provided in a system and outputting the status information of the apparatus to a plurality of transmission destinations in the system.

Conventionally, in a monitoring system, when a monitoring target fails, the operator terminal is notified that the monitoring target has failed.
According to Patent Document 1, a control unit of a monitoring computer monitors a plurality of computer units through a serial communication line and a signal line, and displays the monitoring state. The control unit of each computer unit performs communication processing with the monitoring computer, alarm detection of the power supply module, and information transfer with the terminal device. The alarm or box 4 performs a logical OR operation on the alarm information output from the power supply module at each connection unit, and notifies the control unit of the monitoring computer of the calculation result. With this configuration, it is possible to send alarm information to the monitoring computer even if the power supply is interrupted due to a failure of the power supply module of the computer unit or the controller is abnormal, without affecting the mounting space. Proposals have been made.

  In addition, for example, a display panel for displaying a train departure schedule provided at a station is provided with a monitoring system for operating the display panel correctly. For example, in order to display train operation information (for example, departure schedule) at a station, an operation status display system as shown in FIG. 16 is provided. The operation status display system 80 includes an operation information display panel 82 on which operation information such as a train departure schedule is displayed, an operation information server device 83 that manages train operation information, and information on the status of each connected device. (State information) is received and processed, information of the processing result is output to a plurality of monitors 86 of the system, information from the operation information server device 83, etc. The relay device 85 is relayed to the device 84.

  For example, when the power supply 87 of the relay device 85 that controls the display panel fails, the sensor connected to the relay device power supply 87 detects that the power supply has failed, and the status information is transmitted from the relay device 85 to process information. Device 84 receives.

FIG. 17 is an example of a target management table in which a monitoring target is held when the information processing apparatus operates in a conventional operation status display system.
As shown in FIG. 17, the target management table includes items of “monitoring target ID”, “device name”, “state”, and “time stamp”. The item “monitoring target ID” indicates an ID assigned to each monitoring target. The item “device name” indicates a device name (character string) to be monitored. The item of “status” indicates the status of the monitoring target that comes up from the monitoring unit or a detection unit that detects the status of the monitoring target (hereinafter referred to as “sensor”). The “time stamp” is the time when the state of the monitoring target is detected.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart of state information processing received from each device in a conventional operation status display system.
In FIG. 18, first, in step S <b> 501, each device provided in the operation status display system 80 notifies the information processing device 84 of the monitoring target ID and time stamp together with the device status (status information) detected by the sensor. .

In step S502, the information processing apparatus 84 obtains data for each apparatus (data of the record (one line) in FIG. 17) in the target management table shown in FIG. 17 based on the monitoring target ID received in step S501. Generate.

  In step S503, the information processing apparatus 84 acquires a corresponding apparatus name (character string) based on the monitoring target ID in the target management table of FIG. This device name is output to the monitor as a message that can be easily understood by the operator.

  Then, by repeating steps S504 and S505, the device status received this time is output to all the monitors 86 in the operation status display system 80 together with the acquired device name.

  However, in the system shown in FIG. 16 and Patent Document 1, since the same information is provided to all workers (operators), information that is not actually required may be received. For example, the information required by the operator A (the worker who uses the monitor A) is who the repair person is obliged to repair the failure (for example, calling the repair person), and the operator B ( The information required by the worker who uses the monitor B may be which display panel is no longer usable (for example, a “failing” sticker is put on the display panel). In other words, in this case, the notified information is useful information for the operator A, but the information is not optimal for the operator B and does not affect the display on the display panel. I can say that.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 19, the power supply 87 of the relay device 85 shown in FIG. 16 is duplicated (redundant), and even if one of the power supplies 87 fails, the operation of the relay device 85 is hindered. It is assumed that the configuration is not given. In such a configuration, in the conventional monitoring system, the occurrence of one power supply failure is notified to all operators as a power supply failure of the relay device 85. Since each operator has a role in this manner, there is a problem that each operator cannot acquire necessary information.

Information indicating whether a failure has occurred in any of the affected devices, and information indicating whether a failure has occurred in any of the devices via the transmission unit to the transmission destination used by each person in charge If it is transmitted, the failure content corresponding to the role of each operator can be notified.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the state of the monitoring object apparatus can be monitored and the status information of the monitoring object can be provided as optimal information for each operator.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
In the monitoring system, when the monitoring target fails, the operator terminal is notified that the monitoring target has failed. Here, it is assumed that this monitoring system monitors an information display system that displays information. In addition, as this information display system, a system that displays the operation status of a train (train) is assumed below, but other information may be displayed.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a train operation status display system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operation status display system 1 includes an operation information display panel 2, an operation information server device 3, an information processing device 4, a relay device 5, a monitor 6 (monitors A and B), and the like.

  The operation information display panel 2 displays train operation information. The operation information server device 3 holds train operation information and the like. The information processing apparatus 4 receives and processes information (state information) about the state of each of the connection destinations, and outputs information on the processing results to a plurality of monitors 6. The relay device 5 relays the operation information from the operation information server device 3 to the operation information display board 2 and the information processing device 4. Note that the power supply 7 of the relay device 5 is duplicated in this example.

  In FIG. 1, the information processing device 4 receives status information (normal, abnormal, or unknown) of each device except the monitor 6. The relay apparatus power supply 7 sends the status of the apparatus of the relay apparatus power supply 7 to the information processing apparatus 4 by the sensor 8 connected thereto. The operation information display board 2 sends the state of the apparatus of the operation information display board 2 to the information processing apparatus 4 by the sensor 9 connected thereto.

  The relay device 5 sends the status of the relay device 5 to the information processing device 4 by a sensor (not shown) built therein. The operation information server device 3 sends the status of the device of the operation information server device 3 to the information processing device 4 by a sensor (not shown) built therein.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment.
In FIG. 2, the information processing device 30 includes a device state writing unit 31, a device state / transmission destination table 32, a target range definition table 33, a target range state information generation unit 34, a target range state / transmission destination table 35, and a transmission unit 36. Is provided.

The device state / transmission destination table 32 stores the state information of each device in association with the transmission destination of the state information.
The device status writing unit 31 writes the status information received from the device in the device status / destination table 32.

The target range definition table 33 groups a part of a plurality of devices in the system and defines and stores them as a monitoring target range.
The target range state / transmission destination table 35 stores the target range state information in association with the transmission destination of the target range state information.

The target range state information generation unit 34 generates state information of the defined monitoring target range using the state information of each device, and stores it in the target range state / destination table 35.
Based on the device state / transmission destination table 32 and the target range state / transmission destination table 35, the transmission unit 36 transmits device state information and target range state information to the corresponding transmission destinations.

  Each unit illustrated in FIG. 2 may be realized as a program. In this case, the central processing unit (CPU) that executes the processing of the device state writing unit 31 in FIG. 2, the CPU that executes the processing of the target range state information generation unit 34, and the processing of the transmission unit 36 are executed. The same CPU may be used, or a CPU may be assigned to each block.

  FIG. 3 is an example of an apparatus status / destination table held by the information processing apparatus during operation in the operation status display system of the present embodiment. This example corresponds to the system configuration of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, this device status / destination table includes items of “monitoring target ID”, “device name”, “status”, “time stamp”, “display group 1”, and “display group 2”. Is provided. The item “monitoring target ID” indicates an ID assigned to each monitoring target.

The item “device name” indicates the name of the device to be monitored (character string to be output to the monitor).
The item of “status” indicates the status of the monitoring target that comes up from the monitoring unit or a detection unit that detects the status of the monitoring target (hereinafter referred to as “sensor”).

The “time stamp” is the time when the state of the device to be monitored is detected.
“Display group 1” is, for example, a group composed of station staff. Members of this group monitor whether the display function of the operation information display panel is operating normally.

  “Display group 2” is, for example, a group constituted by maintenance personnel. For example, if the train operation status display system is composed of equipment from multiple manufacturers, each maintenance person may have a failure in their equipment or a failure in their equipment. We are monitoring whether there is.

  The members of each group are operators who log in to the monitor and monitor the display on the monitor. The information processing apparatus has a monitor No. as shown in FIG. And its monitor No. The table in which the operator who logged in to the monitor belongs is always kept in the latest state.

  The information processing apparatus 4 sets the information “message”, “status”, etc. corresponding to the monitoring target ID to the item “display group 1” or “display group 2” with the value “1”. Send to a group of operators. In other words, an operator belonging to the group transmits (outputs) to the currently logged-in monitor.

FIG. 5 is an example of a target range state / destination table held by the information processing apparatus during operation in the operation status display system of the present embodiment. This example corresponds to the system configuration of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the target range state / destination table includes “monitor target range ID”, “message”, “state”, “time stamp”, “display group 1”, and “display group 2”. With items. Note that “display group 1” and “display group 2” are the same as those in FIG.

The item “monitoring target range ID” indicates an ID for identifying a monitoring target range obtained by grouping a part of a plurality of devices in the system.
The item “message” is a message (character string) indicating the meaning given to the monitoring target range.

The item “state” indicates whether a failure has occurred in any of the devices belonging to the monitoring target range.
The “time stamp” is a time when the “state” of the monitoring target range is obtained by a logical operation or the like.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the meaning of the state received by the information processing apparatus from the monitoring target, which is used in the operation status display system of the present embodiment. This is also a diagram for explaining the meaning of “state” in FIG. 3.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the sensor that detects the state of the monitoring target outputs unknown information and failure information to the information processing apparatus as detection results.
The failure information is information indicating whether the monitoring target is “failure” or “normal” (whether it is “failure”). The unknown information is information indicating whether or not the monitoring target is in a state where it is not known whether or not it is “failed”. For example, when the relay device 5 is provided with a standby power supply and the relay device is operated by the standby power supply even if the main power supply is broken, the state of the relay device 5 becomes an unknown state.

The unknown information and the failure information are each 1-bit information, for example. Hereinafter, a bit representing unknown information is referred to as an unknown bit, and a bit representing failure information is referred to as a failure bit.
The information processing apparatus interprets the received information (2 bits) as follows.

If the value of the first unknown bit is “1”, it is unknown whether the transmission source device has failed.
If the value of the first unknown bit is “0”, the value of the second failure bit is referred to. If the value of this failure bit is “1”, the transmission source device is faulty (abnormal state), and if it is “0”, the transmission source device is not faulty. Suppose that it is operating normally.

  For example, in the case of the first row in FIG. 3 (the row whose monitoring target ID is “0000001”), the value of “state” is set to “unknown (1: 0)”. This is because the first bit (indicating unknown information) of the received status (2 bits) of the device is “1” and the second bit (indicating failure information) is “0”. Indicates that the status has been interpreted as “unknown”.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a template of the target range definition table.
FIG. 8 is an example of a target range definition table corresponding to the target range state / transmission destination table of FIG.

  In FIG. 8 (or FIG. 7), the “result storage destination” indicates the monitoring target range ID. “Calculation source 1”, “Calculation source 2”, “Calculation source 3”,... Indicate the value of “status” used to obtain the “status” of the monitoring target range ID indicated in the result storage destination. It is information to show. This information indicates the monitoring target ID that uses the “state” value obtained from the device side (sensor) in the table of FIG. 3, or other result storage destination in the table of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the values that can be taken by the state of the apparatus (item of “state”) include “unknown (1: 0)”, “failure (0: 1)”, “normal (0 : 0) ". When performing a logical operation, the corresponding bits of these 2 bits are operated and the operation result is interpreted.

The items of “unknown information expression” and “failure information expression” indicate which logical operator is used to combine values set in “state”.
FIG. 9 shows examples of values that the unknown information expression or the failure information expression can take.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the unknown information expression values “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4” indicate the logical operators “OR”, “AND”, “NOT”, and “XOR”, respectively. ing. The values “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4” of the failure information expression indicate the logical operators “OR”, “AND”, “NOT”, and “XOR”, respectively.

In addition, the values “5”, “6”, and “7” of the failure information expression are the functions “MAX (determining the maximum value)”, “MIN (determining the minimum value)”, and “AVE (taking the average)”, respectively. Is shown.
In addition, the unknown information formula and the failure information formula may be calculated by the user and stored in “5” of the unknown information formula or “8” of the fault information formula. For example, formulas are constructed such as (calculation element 1) OR (calculation element 2) AND (calculation element 3).

  For example, in the first row of FIG. 8 (the row of the monitoring target range ID “0050001”), the values of the states of the monitoring target IDs “0000001”, “0000002”, “0000005”, and “0060001” are set to the value “1” of the failure information expression. It is shown that the value of the state of the monitoring target range ID “0050001” can be obtained by logically combining with (OR operator) ”.

  When this logical operation is performed, referring to FIG. 3, when both the operation information display board 2, the relay apparatus 5, the operation information server apparatus 3, or the relay apparatus power supply 7 fails, the operation information display board 2 displays Corresponds to the function not working properly.

Actually, in the item of “message” corresponding to the monitoring target range ID “0050001” in FIG. 5, “operation information display function” is set as a character string.
Further, for example, in the second row in FIG. 8 (the row of the monitoring target range ID “0050002”), the values of the statuses of the monitoring target IDs “0000002”, “0000003”, and “0000004” are set to the value “1 ( It is shown that the state value of the monitoring target range ID “0050002” can be obtained by logically combining with the “OR operator)”.

  For example, when company C is in charge of maintenance of the relay device 5 and the two relay device power supplies 7, this logical operation is performed when either the relay device 5 or the relay device power supply 7 fails. In this case, it is indicated that Mr. C who is an operator of company C must take action immediately.

Actually, “Mr. C (C company) maintenance target equipment” is set as a character string in the item of “message” corresponding to the monitoring target range ID “0050002” of FIG.
In the fourth row in FIG. 8 (the row of the monitoring target range ID “0060001”), the monitoring target ID is displayed.
The values of the states “0000003” and “0000004” are logically combined by the failure information expression value “2 (AND operator)”. An ID that is used only for obtaining the value of another monitoring target range ID, such as the monitoring target range ID “0060001”, is called an internal processing ID.

  FIG. 10 is an overall flowchart of processing of status information received from each device and a flowchart of calculation processing in the operation status display system of the present embodiment. This flowchart is executed by the information processing apparatus 30 in FIG.

  In FIG. 10, first, in step S <b> 101, each device provided in the operation status display system notifies the information processing device 30 of the monitoring target ID and the time stamp together with the device state (state information) detected by the sensor. In addition, in the process of step S101, a calculation result may be notified from the calculation process of step S103.

  In step S102, the information processing apparatus 30 performs data (for example, the record (one line in FIG. 3) of the apparatus status / destination table 32 illustrated in FIG. 2 based on the monitoring target ID received in step S101. Min) data). When the calculation result is notified in step S101, the information processing apparatus 30 1 of the target range state / destination table 35 shown in FIG. 2 based on the monitoring target ID included in the calculation result received in step S101. Data for a line (for example, data of the record (one line) in FIG. 5) is generated.

  The process of subsequent step S103 is executed only when the monitoring target state of the sensor is received from any device (sensor) in the operation status display system in step S101. If the result of the calculation process is received in step S101, the process proceeds to step S104 without executing the process in step S103.

  In the process of step S103, in the target range state / destination table 35 shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of monitoring target IDs (shown in FIG. 3) obtained from the device side or device side sensor including the monitoring target ID received this time. In the target range state / destination table, the “state” value of the monitoring target IDs “0000001” to “0000005”) is logically calculated, so that the target range state / destination table 35 shown in FIG. The value of “status” of the monitoring target range ID (in the target range status / destination table of FIG. 5, the data of each row of the monitoring target range IDs “0050001”, “0050002”, “0050003”, “0060001”) is obtained. .

  Then, in step S104, the information processing apparatus 30 determines the monitoring target ID (monitoring target range) in the row of the device status / transmission destination table in FIG. 3 (target range state / transmission destination table in FIG. 5) generated in step S102. By acquiring the device name (message) corresponding to (ID), a character string used for monitor display can be obtained.

  In step S105, the information processing apparatus 30 outputs the state received this time using, for example, the table of FIG. 4 to all the monitors in the operation status display system together with the obtained character string.

The processes in steps S201 to S204 in FIG. 10 describe the calculation process in step S103 in more detail.
10, in step S201, for example, the target range definition table of FIG. 8 is searched. If the target row (unprocessed row) exists in the table, the process proceeds to step S202. If the target row does not exist in the table, the series of processing ends.

For example, the target range definition table in FIG. 8 corresponds to the target range state / destination table in FIG. 5, but in the target range state / destination table in FIG. 5, the monitoring target range ID “0060001” This is an internal processing ID used to generate a “state” value in the data of the row of the monitoring target range ID “0050001”. In this step S201, for example, the target row is extracted as a result of the search processing in the order of the row having the ID corresponding to the internal processing ID and the row having the other ID, and the subsequent processing is performed on the target row. Is called.

  In the subsequent step S202, information about the calculation source included in the search result row is acquired with reference to, for example, the target range state / destination table in FIG. For example, when the row of the monitoring target range ID “0060001” in FIG. 8 is acquired as a search result, the “status” values of the monitoring target IDs “0000003” and “0000004” in the target range state / destination table of FIG. Is the information about the calculation source. For example, when the row of the monitoring target range ID “0050001” in FIG. 8 is acquired as a search result, the monitoring target ID “0000001” in the target range state / destination table of FIG. , “0000002”, “0000005”, and “0060001” “state” values are information about the calculation source.

  Then, in step S203, for example, the logical operator indicated by the value of the item “fault information expression” in the target row in FIG. 8 indicates the value of “state” in the target row in the target range definition table in FIG. As a result of the combination, the “state” values of the acquired rows are logically calculated. As a result of this logical operation, the value of “state” of the monitoring target range ID indicated in the result storage destination of the target row is obtained.

  For example, for the row of the monitoring target ID “0060001” in FIG. 6, the value of “status” of the monitoring target IDs “0000003” and “0000004” is the value (= 2) of the item of “failure information expression”. And a logical operation for each bit is performed by a logical operator (= AND), and a value of “status” of the monitoring target ID “0060001” is obtained.

  For example, for the row of the monitoring target ID “0050001” in FIG. 6, the value of the “status” of the monitoring target IDs “0000001”, “0000002”, “0000005”, and “0060001” is “failure information expression”. Are combined by a logical operator (= OR) indicated by the item value (= 1) and a logical operation for each bit is performed, and the value of “status” of the monitoring target ID “0050001” is obtained.

  Then, in step S204, the calculated “state” value (result of the calculation process) of the result storage destination (monitoring target range ID) of the target row is notified to step S101, and the process returns to step S201.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of output processing to a monitor. This flowchart is executed by the information processing apparatus 30 in FIG.
In FIG. 11, first, in step S <b> 301, the information processing apparatus 30 refers to the table of FIG. 4 and acquires a list of monitors on which the operator is currently logged in. Then, the monitor list is searched, and the target monitor (unprocessed monitor) is extracted as a search result. If there is no target monitor, the series of processing is terminated.

In step S302, the information processing apparatus 30 refers to the table in FIG. 4 and displays the operator group name (“display group 1 (G0001)” or “display group 2 (G0002) corresponding to the target monitor. ) ”). Then, referring to the device state / destination table in FIG. 3 or the target range state / destination table in FIG. 5, the data of the currently processed row in any table is set in the acquired group name item. If the value to be set is 1, that is, if the group logged in to the target monitor is the display target group of the data processed this time, in step S303, the current monitor is set to the target monitor. The processed row data (including values such as “message” and “state”) is transmitted, and the process returns to step S301.

  On the other hand, if the value set in the acquired group name item is not 1, that is, if the group logged into the target monitor is not the display target group of the data processed this time, the process returns to step S301. .

FIG. 12 is a modified example of the device state / destination table held by the information processing apparatus during operation in the operation status display system of the present embodiment.
FIG. 13 is a modification of the target range state / destination table held by the information processing apparatus during operation in the operation status display system of the present embodiment.

  In the table shown in FIG. 12 or 13, “display group Y” is added to the table shown in FIG. 3 or 5, and values other than “0” and “1” are also set in each group. is doing.

  A value “0” set for each group means that data in the row of the monitoring target ID (monitoring target range ID) is not transmitted to the group. Further, the values “1”,..., “9” mean that the data of the row of the monitoring target ID (monitoring target range ID) is transmitted to the group. Between the values “1”,..., “9”, the data of the row of the monitoring target ID (monitoring target range ID) is transmitted only to the group for which the lowest number is set.

14 is a flowchart of output processing to a monitor corresponding to the apparatus state / transmission destination table of FIG. 12 or the target range state / transmission destination table of FIG.
In FIG. 14, the process of step S401 is the same as the process of step S301 of FIG.

  In FIG. 14, in step S402, the information processing apparatus refers to the table of FIG. 4 and displays group names (“display group 1 (G0001)”, “display group 2 (G0002)”, Or, any one of “display group Y (Gyyyy)” is acquired. Then, with reference to the apparatus status / destination table in FIG. 12 or the target range status / destination table in FIG. 13, the data of the currently processed row in any table is set in the acquired group name item. If the value to be processed is the smallest value other than “0”, that is, if the group logged in to the target monitor is the group that gives the highest priority to the data processed this time In step S403, the currently processed line data (including values such as “message” and “state”) is transmitted to the target monitor, and the process returns to step S401.

  On the other hand, if the value set in the acquired group name item is “0” or not the smallest value other than “0”, that is, log in to the target monitor. If the current group is not a group that displays the data processed this time with the highest priority, the process returns to step S401.
