Description

本発明は、個別の装置の設定情報を一括して記録しておく設定情報集中記憶装置、装置ごとの機器IDをもとにした設定情報の記録・復元方法により、保守サービスを提供する技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a setting information centralized storage device that records setting information of individual devices at once, and a technology that provides a maintenance service by a setting information recording / restoring method based on a device ID for each device. .

保守サービスへの要求は、従来の機器自体の価格が高価であった時代には機器の修理であった。ところが最近では機器単体の価格は安くなり、複数の機器を組み合わせて大きなシステムを構成するようになってきている。そのため、機器単体を対象とした保守サービスは時代と合わなくなってきていた。   The demand for maintenance service was repair of equipment in the era when the price of the conventional equipment itself was expensive. However, recently, the price of a single device has been reduced, and a large system has been configured by combining multiple devices. As a result, maintenance services targeting single devices have become incompatible with the times.

保守サービスでは、機器が故障した場合の対応として、1)機器の故障個所を特定してその故障個所を修理するという方法、あるいは2)機器そのものを新品と交換するという方法をとることがある。   In the maintenance service, as a countermeasure when a device breaks down, there are a method of 1) identifying a failure portion of the device and repairing the failure portion, or 2) a method of replacing the device itself with a new one.

ここで、集中管理装置の不揮発メモリ部には、集中管理装置自身、及び加入者登録した個々の通信制御装置をそれぞれ識別するためのCS識別子及びPS識別子(登録データ)が配置され、これらを基に管理センターにより遠隔管理がされ、登録データは、管理センター5側でも格納され、運用中の集中管理装置を新たな集中管理装置に交換する場合、登録データは、管理センターから通信網を介して新たな集中管理装置に転送され、その不揮発メモリ部に再構成されることで、システムの継続、復旧を短時間で容易に行う技術が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   Here, a CS identifier and PS identifier (registration data) for identifying the central management device itself and each individual communication control device registered as a subscriber are arranged in the nonvolatile memory unit of the central management device. Remotely managed by the management center, the registration data is also stored on the management center 5 side, and when the centralized management device in operation is replaced with a new centralized management device, the registered data is transferred from the management center via the communication network. A technique has been proposed in which the system is transferred to a new centralized management device and reconfigured in the nonvolatile memory unit, thereby facilitating continuation and recovery of the system in a short time (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、エレベータ遠隔保守制御システム1は、乗りかご2を有する複数のエレベータ15と、各エレベータ15毎に割り振られ各エレベータ15の保守点検制御を行うエレベータ通信制御装置5とを備えている。各エレベータ通信制御装置5は、通信ネットワーク9に接続されて繋がれており、この通信ネットワーク9には遠隔保守制御装置12が接続されている。エレベータ15の保守点検に関するプログラム等を含む制御プログラム情報40は、通信ネットワーク9上を移動して、遠隔保守制御装置12と各エレベータ通信制御装置5との間でエレベータ15の保守点検に関するプログラム等を伝送することで、複数のエレベータの保守点検を各エレベータの特性に応じて迅速かつ安全に行う技術が提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。   The elevator remote maintenance control system 1 includes a plurality of elevators 15 each having a passenger car 2, and an elevator communication control device 5 that is assigned to each elevator 15 and performs maintenance inspection control of each elevator 15. Each elevator communication control device 5 is connected to and connected to a communication network 9, and a remote maintenance control device 12 is connected to the communication network 9. The control program information 40 including a program related to maintenance / inspection of the elevator 15 moves on the communication network 9 and a program related to maintenance / inspection of the elevator 15 between the remote maintenance control device 12 and each elevator communication control device 5. A technique has been proposed in which maintenance and inspection of a plurality of elevators is performed quickly and safely according to the characteristics of each elevator by transmission (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

また、ユーザシステム内に設けられ、IT機器のトラブル情報、構成情報又は性能情報を収集するリモートゲートウェイと、リモートゲートウェイと通信ネットワークを介して接続され、リモートゲートウェイから送信された情報に基づいてIT機器の監視を行うセンタシステムとを有するシステムにおいて、ユーザシステム内にセンタシステムから送信された設定情報に基づいてIT機器の設定を行う設定手段を具備することで、IT機器から各種情報を採取し、且つ、IT機器の設定も自動で行うことにより、サービス導入を簡単に行うことが可能な技術が提案されている(例えば、特許文献3参照)。   Also, a remote gateway that is provided in the user system and collects trouble information, configuration information, or performance information of an IT device, and is connected to the remote gateway via a communication network, and the IT device is based on information transmitted from the remote gateway. In a system having a center system that performs monitoring, the user system includes setting means for setting the IT device based on the setting information transmitted from the center system, thereby collecting various information from the IT device, In addition, a technology has been proposed that can easily introduce a service by automatically setting an IT device (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

また、保守センターからのリモート保守開始の操作によりボタン電話装置の主装置が通信網から発IDを受信し、登録されている保守センターであればリモート保守モードに移行して着信自動応答を行い、その後、保守センターから設定データの読み出しや書き込みを受信することで、保守先が不在時にリモート保守を行う技術が提案されている(例えば、特許文献4参照)。

しかしながら、上述の関連技術では、1)の方法では機器の修理中は機器が使えなくなるという欠点があり、また2)の方法では故障した機器を新品と交換したあとに故障した機器と同様の設定をする必要があり、復旧に時間がかかるという欠点があった。   However, in the related technology described above, the method 1) has a drawback that the device cannot be used during the repair of the device, and the method 2) has the same setting as the failed device after replacing the failed device with a new one. There is a drawback that it takes time to recover.

本発明は、以上のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、本発明では、機器個別の設定情報を機器自体に持たせずに、設定情報を一括して記録しておく記憶装置を別途提供することで、機器の交換を容易にし、復旧時間を大幅に短縮することを実現する設定情報集中記録装置、機器IDおよび保守サービス提供方法並びにプログラムを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. In the present invention, there is provided a storage device that records setting information in a lump without having setting information for each device in the device itself. An object of the present invention is to provide a setting information centralized recording apparatus, a device ID, a maintenance service providing method, and a program that facilitate the replacement of devices and greatly reduce the recovery time by providing separately.

本発明の設定情報集中記憶装置は、端末機器とネットワークを介して接続され、
端末機器の障害、交換、ソフトウェア更新等が発生したときに端末機器に係わる設定情報を端末機器の識別情報をもとに端末機器に設定することを特徴とする。
The setting information centralized storage device of the present invention is connected to a terminal device via a network,
Setting information related to the terminal device is set in the terminal device based on the identification information of the terminal device when a failure, replacement, software update, or the like of the terminal device occurs.

また、本発明の機器IDおよび保守サービス提供方法は、設定情報集中記憶装置が、ネットワークを介して接続された端末機器の障害、交換、ソフトウェア更新等が発生したときに端末機器に係わる設定情報を端末機器の識別情報をもとに端末機器に設定することを特徴とする。   Also, the device ID and maintenance service providing method of the present invention provides the setting information related to the terminal device when the setting information centralized storage device has failed, replaced, updated software, etc. of the terminal device connected via the network. The terminal device is set based on the identification information of the terminal device.

また、本発明のプログラムは、コンピュータに、ネットワークを介して接続された端末機器の障害、交換、ソフトウェア更新等が発生したときに端末機器に係わる設定情報を端末機器の識別情報をもとに端末機器に設定する処理を実行させることを特徴とする。   In addition, the program of the present invention provides a terminal based on identification information of a terminal device when setting information related to the terminal device when a failure, replacement, software update, etc. of the terminal device connected to the computer via the network occurs. It is characterized in that a process for setting the device is executed.

本発明によれば、機器個別の設定情報を機器自体に持たせずに、設定情報を一括して記録しておく記憶装置を別途提供することで、機器の交換を容易にし、復旧時間を大幅に短縮することができる。   According to the present invention, by separately providing a storage device for recording setting information in a lump without having the setting information for each device in the device itself, the replacement of the device is facilitated and the recovery time is greatly increased. Can be shortened.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。図1を参照して、本実施の形態の構成を説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The configuration of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

本実施の形態では各装置30には個別の設定情報を持たせず、設定情報はすべて設定情報集中記録装置10に保存するものとする。   In this embodiment, each device 30 does not have individual setting information, and all the setting information is stored in the setting information centralized recording device 10.

各装置30と設定情報を一括して記録しておく記憶装置とは保守用ネットワーク20で接続されているものとする。   It is assumed that each device 30 and a storage device that records setting information collectively are connected by a maintenance network 20.

設定情報集中記録装置10は、保守サービス提供者側に設置される。   The setting information centralized recording apparatus 10 is installed on the maintenance service provider side.

以下に、図2を参照して本実施の形態の動作を詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the operation of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

まず、機器を新規に設置する場合は、必ず設定情報集中記録装置10と通信可能な保守用ネットワーク20に接続する(S201)。   First, when a new device is installed, it is always connected to the maintenance network 20 that can communicate with the setting information centralized recording apparatus 10 (S201).

次に、ある機器に対して設定をした場合、その設定情報は保守用ネットワーク20を経由して設定情報集中記録装置10に送信する(S202)。その際に、各装置30が持つ固有のIDとともに送信する。   Next, when setting is made for a certain device, the setting information is transmitted to the setting information centralized recording apparatus 10 via the maintenance network 20 (S202). At that time, the information is transmitted together with a unique ID of each device 30.

設定情報集中記録装置10は、設定情報と各装置30が持つ固有IDを受信する(S203)と、設定情報を固有IDとともに記憶する(S204)。   When receiving the setting information and the unique ID of each device 30 (S203), the setting information centralized recording device 10 stores the setting information together with the unique ID (S204).

ある機器が故障した際(S205)には、機器を丸ごと交換し、その設定を機器固有のIDをもとに自動で設定すべく、故障した機器の固有IDと交換する新品の機器の固有IDとの対応をあらかじめ保守サービス提供者が設定情報集中記録装置10に伝えておく(S206)。新品の機器を保守用ネットワーク20に接続すると、故障した機器の設定が新品の機器に引き継がれる(S207)。すなわち、保守センター等から書き込み信号を送出するのではなく、交換した機器がセンター側に自動で設定等を取得するのである。   When a certain device fails (S205), the entire device is replaced, and the unique ID of the new device to be replaced with the unique ID of the failed device is set to automatically set the setting based on the unique ID of the device. The maintenance service provider notifies the setting information centralized recording apparatus 10 in advance (S206). When a new device is connected to the maintenance network 20, the setting of the failed device is taken over by the new device (S207). That is, instead of sending a write signal from the maintenance center or the like, the replaced device automatically acquires settings and the like on the center side.

本発明では「複数の機器を組み合わせて構成されるシステム」におけるサービスレベルの維持に主眼を置き、障害発生からシステムを迅速に復旧させるために「機器と設計(設定)の分離」を実現する。   The present invention focuses on maintaining a service level in a “system configured by combining a plurality of devices”, and realizes “separation of devices and designs (settings)” in order to quickly recover the system from the occurrence of a failure.

上記の本実施の形態によれば、復旧時間の大幅短縮が図れる。その理由は、機器自体は設定情報を持たないため、その機器が故障した場合は機器を交換するだけで良いためである。また、機器の交換が容易になる。その理由は、機器の設定と機器自体とが分離されているためである。   According to the present embodiment described above, the recovery time can be greatly shortened. The reason is that since the device itself does not have setting information, if the device fails, it is only necessary to replace the device. In addition, the replacement of the device becomes easy. This is because the setting of the device and the device itself are separated.

さらに、保守要員の負担の軽減が図れる。従来の保守要員は、1)機器の故障した部分を特定して部品を交換することや、2)機器を新品と交換した後に設定を復旧するといった高度な技能が必要であった。本発明により、機器を交換するだけで復旧が可能となるため、保守要員に高度な技能が不要となる。   Furthermore, the burden on maintenance personnel can be reduced. Conventional maintenance personnel required advanced skills such as 1) identifying a failed part of the device and exchanging parts, and 2) restoring the setting after exchanging the device with a new one. According to the present invention, it is possible to perform recovery only by exchanging the equipment, so that high-level skills are not required for maintenance personnel.

なお、上述する各実施の形態は、本発明の好適な実施の形態であり、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々変更実施が可能である。例えば、設定情報集中記録装置10、各装置30の機能を実現するためのプログラムを各装置に読込ませて実行することにより各装置の機能を実現する処理を行ってもよい。さらに、そのプログラムは、コンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体であるCD−ROMまたは光磁気ディスクなどを介して、または伝送媒体であるインターネット、電話回線などを介して伝送波により他のコンピュータシステムに伝送されてもよい。   Each of the above-described embodiments is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the processing for realizing the function of each device may be performed by causing each device to read and execute a program for realizing the functions of the setting information centralized recording device 10 and each device 30. Further, the program is transmitted to another computer system by a transmission wave via a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a magneto-optical disk, or via a transmission medium such as the Internet or a telephone line. Also good.
