  The present invention relates to a data processing method, a program, and a system technology.

  Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, in a general large-scale system 1 a, data of an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag 14 collected by the server 11 via the reader 12 and a camera 13 collected by the server 11. Or data input from the terminal 10 is collected centrally in the management database 51 by the management server 52. Then, the system is operated by the user using each terminal 10 to extract and acquire necessary data from the management database 51, perform processing, and store the data in the database 15 in some cases.

  In constructing such a large-scale system, system construction using a so-called PDCA (plan-do-check-action) cycle is often performed. When constructing such a system, as shown in FIG. 7, on-site hearing (S301) → design of management database 51 (S302) → construction of management database 51 (S303) → design of management system (management server 52) ( S304) → Management system construction (S305) → Operation of system 1a (S306) → Improvement of system 1a (S307) → Hearing on site (S301) →... .

  For example, Patent Document 1 has an operation requirement DB (Data Base) that stores operation work items, operation requirements, and service levels, displays the contents of the operation requirement DB on the screen, and inputs design items by inputting design items. An operational design support system, a method and a program for calculating a cost and creating a design document based on the designed items are disclosed. According to the technology described in Patent Document 1, since it is possible to register and accumulate past operation design know-how, document templates, points that have been noticed in actual operation, a PDCA cycle can be formed, and operation quality can be improved. Can be improved.

(flowchart)
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the system according to the present embodiment, where (a) shows the processing procedure at the time of message transmission, and (b) shows the processing procedure at the time of message reception.
First, referring to FIG. 4 (a), a processing procedure at the time of message transmission will be described (refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 as appropriate), and data acquired by the data acquisition unit 111 with the reader 12 or the camera 13 will be described. Obtained from the receiving unit 122 or necessary data from the storage unit 125 (S101).
Next, the message generator 112 generates a message 20 as shown in FIG. 3 based on the data acquired in step S101 (S102). At this time, the message 20 stores all of the data acquired in step S101 or as much as possible (at least one) of data.
Then, the transmission unit 121 transmits the message 20 generated in step S102 (S103). The transmission of the message 20 is preferably broadcast transmission to the terminal 10 or the server 11 in the system 1, but may be transmitted by multicast or unicast as necessary. Note that the message 20 may be automatically generated / transmitted by the camera 13, the server 11 that has acquired data from the RFID tag 14, and the terminal 10, unlike mail.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4B, the processing procedure at the time of message reception will be described. First, the reception unit 122 receives the message 20 (S201). Note that the message 20 may be temporarily stored in the storage unit 125 in the processing apparatus 100 at this stage.
Next, the data extraction unit 113 extracts data from the received message 20 (S202).
Then, the user inputs an instruction such as selecting, processing, storing, or discarding necessary data from the data extracted in step S202 via the input unit 123, and the data processing unit 114 is based on the input instruction. The data extracted in step S202 is processed (S203).

  In this way, the server 11 connected to the data generation source (RFID tag 14, camera 13, etc.), the terminal 10, etc., sends the data in the form of a message 20 directly to the terminal 10 in the system 1, By leaving the processing of the message 20 to the terminal 10 or the server 11 that receives the message 20, the management server 52 and the management database 51 shown in FIG. 6 can be made unnecessary. Furthermore, since the management server 52 and the management database 51 are not required, the design of the management database 51 (S302) to management system construction (S305) shown in FIG. be able to. In particular, in the construction of the system 1 using the PDCA cycle, the construction period of the system 1 can be greatly shortened. As a result, real-time performance from system construction to operation can be ensured, and advanced data processing technology, quick follow-up of on-site information, and quick feedback to the site can be made possible.

(Application examples)
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an application example using a message according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 5 shows a large-scale system in which independent systems A to C each having a terminal 10, a server 11, a camera 13, an RFID tag 14, a reader 12, a database 15, and the like exist.
These systems A to C are connected by a network such as a WAN (Wide Area Network). In general, the systems A to C are often closed, and the data processing is completed in each of the systems A to C, and the processing result is viewed from the terminal 10 existing in the external system 1. There are many things you can only do.

By using the message 20-1 according to the present embodiment, for example, the server 11 connected to the reader 12 converts the data acquired from the RFID tag 14 into the format of the message 20-1 to the terminal 10 in the system A. Simultaneously with the transmission, the broadcast is transmitted to the terminals 10 and servers 11 in the systems B and C. The terminal 10 or the server 11 that has received the message 20-1 performs processing such as processing, storage, and discarding of the data in the message 20-1 as necessary. Further, the processed data is converted into the format of the message 20-2 and transmitted to the terminal 10 or the server 11 in the systems A to C. The terminal 10 or the server 11 that has received the message 20-2 receives the message 20- Processing such as processing, storage, and destruction of data in 2 is performed. In the example of FIG. 5, the terminal 10a in the system B generates the message 20-2, transmits the message 20-2 to the other terminals 10 in the same system B, and the terminals 10 in the system A and the system C. Or, the message 20-2 is transmitted to the server 11.
Thus, by transmitting and receiving messages between the terminals 10 and the server 11 in a peer-to-peer manner, the systems A to C can be used as if they were one system 1.

  Note that a dictionary server may be provided in the system 1 shown in FIG. 1 to check terms in the message 20 (FIG. 1).
