MQTT Version 3.1.1.Edited by Andrew Banks and Rahul Gupta.29 September 2014.OASIS Standard.Latest version: http://docs.oasis-open.org/mqtt/mqtt/v3.1.1/mqtt-v3.1.1. html

  In the prior art disclosed in the background art of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the number of collection target devices and data collection processing programs is small, and the administrator of the data collection system can grasp and manage the administrator. In the situation, the administrator can prepare the format definition and conversion template corresponding to the combination of the collection target device and the data collection processing program. However, when the types of the collection target device and the data collection processing program increase. The number of combinations has increased explosively, and it has been difficult for the administrator to prepare format definitions and conversion templates corresponding to the combination of the collection target device and the data collection processing program and manage them manually. .

  In addition, since it is not known from the outside what format definition or template is in the data collection system, if the system administrator is not requested to set the format definition or template, the addition of a new format definition or template will not be accepted from the outside. could not.

  Therefore, it is possible to add data collection from a new device, use the collected data in a data collection processing program outside the system, register a new data collection processing program in the system, or collect data in the system. It has not been easy to use the processed data or the processing results of the existing data collection processing program in the system as input for the newly added data collection processing program.

  In addition, in MQTT which is the prior art of Non-Patent Document 1, since data can be delivered via a broker through a hierarchical destination, the first data can be sent from a collection target device via a certain destination on the broker. The collection processing program collects and processes the data to be collected, the processing result of the first data collection processing program is transmitted to the second destination by the first data collection processing program, and the second data collection processing program By receiving the processing result of the first data collection processing program from the second destination and processing it, it is possible to add a data collection processing program and process the collected data one after another However, as in the case of the above prior art, a new data collection processing program is added if the data to be processed does not know in advance in which data format. There was a problem that it could not be processed.

  Further, according to the prior art of Patent Document 3, it is possible to distribute the data collection load from the collection target device by the automatic scheduling function of the collection timing. The data count, size, and collection days information of the device must be set in advance in the data collection control device, and the load cannot be distributed without bothering the administrator.

  Furthermore, when the collection timing is dynamically distributed in the prior art of Patent Document 3, it is not known from the data collection processing program when the collection target data from the collection target device is prepared, and is adjusted to the data collection processing program in advance. Without scheduling, there is a problem that it is impossible to automatically determine when the data collection processing program should process.

  In the prior art of Patent Document 3, the collection timing in one data collection processing device can be distributed, but cannot be distributed among a plurality of data collection processing devices.

  Furthermore, in the data collection system using MQTT shown in Non-Patent Document 1, when a general load distribution device is used and relay destinations are distributed to a plurality of brokers using a collection load, the data is distributed to which broker. It is not known from the data collection processing program that processes the data that it is being transmitted, and restrictions such as operating the distributed broker and the data collection processing program in pairs are imposed, and various data collection processing programs are processed in combination That wasn't easy.
