An example from acquisition to output of sensor information in the relay device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

FIG. 7 shows an example of analysis by the analysis means 13 of the relay device 10. As shown in FIG. 7, the relay device 10 acquires the sensor information from the management server 40 (for example, Sigfox cloud) by the sensor information acquisition means 11. An example of the acquired sensor information is shown in the "In" column in the figure. It should be noted that this is an example, and the sensor information may include information other than these. In the "In" column, the device value is the device identification information, the xxxkey value is an arbitrary key, the data value is the payload information, and the time value is the time information (epoch time). Yes, the sensor Type value indicates the sensor device type information. The relay device 10 may acquire the sensor information after waiting for an API call, for example. The API call may specify, for example, a database described later.

Next, the relay device 10 reads the set value (config value) from the setting file (config file) using the sensor device type information as a key by the setting value acquisition means 12, and holds the setting value (config value) ((1) in FIG. 7). ..

Next, the relay device 10 analyzes the payload information (data value) based on the read setting value (config value) by the analysis means 13 ((2) in FIG. 7). That is, it is also said that the payload information is meant by the setting file. Then, for example, the analysis result is added to the acquired sensor information and output by the output means 14. An example of the sensor information to be output is shown in the "Out" column in the figure. As shown in FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, the payload information was analyzed by the analysis means 13 as ““ temperature ”: 18,“ humidity ”: 52”.

For example, the analysis means 13 may further convert the time information (time value) indicated by the epoch time into Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) ((3) in FIG. 7). In this case, the analysis means 13 may convert, for example, include the time difference from Coordinated Universal Time in the calculation. The time difference may be arbitrarily set by the user, or may be set based on the user's whereabouts / address, the current position information of the user device, and the like included in the user information. For example, as shown in the “Out” column in the figure, the output means 14 adds the converted time information to the acquired sensor information and outputs the information. In FIG. 7, the epoch time “1585702800” is converted to the agreement world time, and the time difference with Japan is added to convert it as “2020/04/01 10:00:00”.

For example, the analysis means 13 may further add identification information to the acquired sensor information ((4) in FIG. 7). The identification information is generated by, for example, the analysis means 13 based on the time information of the acquired sensor information. Specifically, the identification information is generated, for example, by converting the time information (time value) indicated by the epoch time into a hexadecimal number and assigning a UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier) following the hexadecimal number. You may. The identification information is preferably a unique value. Therefore, the analysis means 13 can enhance the uniqueness of the identification information by, for example, generating the identification information by combining the time information (time value) in hexadecimal and the UUID. For example, as shown in the column of "Out" in the figure, the output means 14 adds the identification information of the added sensor information to the acquired sensor information and outputs the information.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the apparatus 10 may add the analysis result to the acquired sensor information by the output means 14 and output it to the external database 60 ((5) in FIG. 7). )). The database 60 stores, for example, the output sensor information in the database designated by the API call. Specifically, the database 60 may store a plurality of the sensor information as table information, for example. An example of the table information is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, in the database 60, for example, the identification information (id) of the sensor information given may be set as the primary key (partition key) used at the time of data retrieval. Further, the database 60 has the device identification information (device) and the device identification information (device) as a secondary index (for example, a global secondary index (GSI) or the like) for designating and searching an attribute other than the primary key. Sensor device type information (sensor Type) may be set. A plurality of the secondary indexes may be set, or one may be set. The database 60 can improve data retrieval, for example, by means of a primary key and a secondary index.
