This is the same as having both the DB server 16 and the AP providing server 18. Therefore, in this embodiment, the user selects a desired application, selects data to be used for this, causes the control server 20 or the like to execute a simulation, and acquires the result. Is possible.
[0024]
In a system in which such a server group is connected to the Internet 14, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the client machine 12 becomes a user who uses applications and data, FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the DB server 16 is a user, it can be considered that the AP providing server 18 is a user as shown in FIG.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, even when the client machine 12 becomes a user, as shown in FIG. 3B, data and applications by the service providing server 22 may be used.
[0025]
For example, in FIG. 2A, when the user requests use of (1) data and application (step 201), (2) necessary data is provided from the DB server 16 (step 202), 3) Necessary applications are provided from the AP providing server 18 (step 203), simulation is executed in the control server 20 by data and applications, and (4) the result of use of the simulation is notified to the client machine 12 ( Step 204).
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 2B, when the user can use the DB server 16, that is, the user can use his / her own data, (1) the DB server 16 requests the use of the application (step 211), (2) Provide own data to the control server 20 (step 212). On the other hand, (3) AP providing server 18 provides necessary applications to control server 20 (step 213). Thereafter, a simulation is executed in the control server 20, and (4) the use result of the simulation is notified to the DB server 16 (step 214).
[0027]
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the user can use the AP providing server 18, that is, when the user can use his / her application, (1) the AP providing server 18 requests the use of data. (Step 301), (2) Providing its own application to the control server 20 (Step 302). On the other hand, (3) DB server 16 provides necessary data to control server 20 (step 303). Thereafter, a simulation is executed in the control server 20, and (4) the use result of the simulation is notified to the AP providing server 18 (step 304).
[0028]
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a control server for executing such processing. As shown in FIG. 4, the control server 20 includes a communication interface (I / F) 30 that controls communication via the Internet 14, a user management unit 32 that executes processing such as user registration and user authentication, A user management database (DB) 34 for storing various user information including a user ID (UID) and password (pwd), and a registered data / application database for storing data registered by the DB server 16 and the AP providing server 18 (DB) 36, a list generation unit 38 that generates a list of data and applications in accordance with a request from the user, and a command analysis unit 40 that analyzes a command transmitted from the user via the Internet and executes necessary processing. And to be transmitted to the DB server 16 and the AP providing server 18 A command generator 42 for generating a command, and a simulation executing unit 44 for executing a simulation based on the necessary data and applications, and a result temporary storage unit 46 for temporarily storing the simulation results.
[0029]
The registered data / application DB 36 stores bibliographic items related to data and applications owned by the DB server 16 and the AP providing server 18. FIG. 5A shows bibliographic items related to data in the registered data / application DB 36, and FIG. 5B shows bibliographic items related to applications.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the bibliographic items (see reference numeral 501) regarding the data include the name of the data, the survey position (eg, latitude / longitude, address), the boring length, test data (eg, N value, The presence or absence of the PS logging (P wave, S wave), rock type, rock grade and / or RQD, and the usage cost when using the data are included. The presence or absence of the test data makes it possible to know whether the data is suitable for use by a user's desired simulation. The bibliographic items may include the name of an application suitable for using the data, and in some cases, the type of application (for example, the purpose of simulation using the application).
[0031]
In the present embodiment, the operator of the DB server 16 can set the data so that only the user can use it. In other words, the operator of the DB server 16 can request that a simulation be performed on his / her data using an application owned by another person. In this case, for example, a flag indicating that the use cost is limited to the use of the user may be set in the use cost column.
[0032]
As shown in FIG. 5B, the bibliographic items (see reference numeral 502) relating to the application include the name of the application, the type of necessary data (for example, necessary depth), the necessary test data, and the use cost. Is included. Similar to the data provider, the application provider can be set so that only the operator can use the application. In this case, it is only necessary to set a flag indicating that the use is limited to the use cost in the use cost column. The bibliographic items may include the purpose of the simulation using the application provided by the application provider or the control server 20 operator.
[0033]
The above bibliographic items are received by the database server 16 or the AP providing server 18 from the control server 20 in a fixed format sheet in which the input items are defined, and input necessary items in the input field in the file, or After selecting from a list prepared in advance, the input sheet may be returned to the control server 20.
[0034]
The processing through the control server 20 configured in this way will be described in more detail. First, a case where a simulation is executed using data and an application in response to a request from the client 12 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the client machine 12, the DB server 16, and the AP providing server 18 that use these devices register the user ID (UID) and password (pwd) in advance via the Internet, and these information is stored in the user of the control server 20. It is stored in the management DB 34. Also, data to be provided and bibliographic items of applications are registered from the DB server 16 and the AP providing server 18, and these are already stored in the registered data / application DB 36.
[0035]
First, when an operator of the client machine 12 as a user operates the input device and inputs a user ID (UID) and a password (pwd) (step 501), the user management unit 32 of the control server 20 authenticates the user. (Step 602), access is permitted if the user is a valid user.
[0036]
The list generation unit 38 refers to the registered data / application DB 36, generates a list of data and applications, and presents it to the client machine 12 (step 603). The user operates the input device to select data and an application to be used (step 604), whereby selection information indicating the selected data and application is transmitted to the control server 20 (step 605). .
[0037]
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the list presentation and data and application selection procedures in more detail. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the list creation unit 38 refers to the registration data / application DB 36 and first creates a list including bibliographic items of applications available to the user, and transmits this to the client machine 12. (Steps 701 and 702).
[0038]
The user refers to the list displayed on the screen of the display device of the client machine 12 and selects a desired application. As a result, information indicating the selected application is transmitted to the control server 20 (steps 703 and 704). In addition, the user selects a position or area where the simulation is to be executed according to a map or the like transmitted from the control server 20 (steps 705 to 707).
[0039]
The list generation unit 38 of the control server 20 searches the registered data / application DB 36 while referring to the simulation purpose by the selected application and the area related to the simulation (step 708), and the geological data including necessary data. The bibliographic information including the name of the user, the boring position, etc. is acquired, a list including these is generated and transmitted to the client machine 12 (step 709).
[0040]
In step 708, referring to bibliographic information about the selected application, the drilling depth, test data (eg, S wave velocity, P wave velocity, specific gravity (density), voids, etc.) used when operating the application. Based on the rate, hydraulic conductivity, etc.), the name of the data having the necessary information is specified, and it is determined whether or not it includes the boring position in the selected area.
[0041]
When the list including the data name and the bibliographic information is displayed on the screen of the display device of the client machine 12 in this way, the user can select a desired cost based on, for example, the use cost or the point where the boring is performed. The name of the data is selected (step 710). When the name of the data is transmitted to the control server 20 (step 711), the list creation unit 38 then specifies a parameter that can be set by the selected application, and allows the user to input the parameter. Is transmitted to the client machine 12 (step 712). This parameter includes, for example, parameters relating to a fault (for example, length, epicenter distance, angle with the fault), waveform parameters (waveform envelope shape, initial phase), and the like. Since this differs depending on the purpose of simulation by the application, it is created based on the selected application.
[0042]
After the user inputs the necessary parameters by operating the input device, a sheet on which necessary information is entered is returned from the client machine 12 to the control server 20 (step 714). Thereafter, when a simulation start instruction is transmitted from the client machine 12 to the control server 20 (step 715), the control server 20 executes the following processing.
[0043]
The command analysis unit 40 of the control server 20 identifies the DB server 16 that should request data and the AP provision server 18 that should request the application according to the received selection information, and the command generation unit 42 responds to these. Generate commands to be communicated. As a result, a data provision request is transmitted to the identified DB server 16 (step 606), and an application provision request is transmitted to the identified AP provision server 18 (step 607).
[0044]
When data and an application are respectively transmitted from the DB server 16 and the AP providing server 18 (steps 608 and 609), the simulation execution unit 44 of the control server 20 executes a simulation based on these (step 610). . The data obtained by the simulation is sequentially stored in the result billion part 46 as a result. The simulation execution result finally obtained is transmitted to the client machine 12 and displayed on the screen of the display device (step 612). These may be stored in the hard disk of the client machine 12.
[0045]
For example, the user can operate the client machine, change only the parameters using the same application and data, and execute the simulation again, or change the data and / or application and perform the simulation again. Needless to say, it can be done.
[0046]
Further, when the DB server 16 becomes a user and wants to use an application, substantially the same processing is executed. It can be understood that when the user of the DB server 16 wants to use data other than the data held by the user, the same processing as that described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 is executed. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the DB server 16 uses its own data and the application of the AP providing server 18 as a user.
[0047]
In this processing, steps 801 and 802 are the same as steps 601 and 602 in FIG. The control server 803 refers to the registered data / application DB 36, creates a list of applications suitable for using the data based on the bibliographic information of the data provided by the authenticated user, and stores this list in the DB server 16 (Step 803). When the user receives the application list, the user selects an application that he / she wishes to use (step 804). Thereby, application selection information is transmitted to the control server 20 (step 805). Note that at any point in the processing steps shown in steps 803 to 805, the DB server 16 gives the control server 20 designation of an area where the simulation is to be executed. This may be performed after application selection.
[0048]
The control server 20 requests the DB server 16 which is a user to provide data (step 806). On the other hand, the AP providing server 18 having the selected application is requested to provide the selected application (step 807). The subsequent processing of steps 810 to 812 is substantially the same as steps 610 to 612 of FIG.
[0049]
Also, when the AP providing server 18 becomes a user and wants to use data, substantially the same processing is executed. It can be understood that when the user of the AP providing server 18 wants to use an application other than the application owned by the user, the same processing as that described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 is executed. On the other hand, the processing procedure when using the data held by the DB server 16 using the application owned by the user executes processing similar to that shown in FIG.
[0050]
For example, consider a case where the user of the client machine 12 wants to simulate a simulated seismic wave at a building construction planned site using an application for creating simulated earthquake motion. In this case, first, an application for creating a simulated seismic wave is selected, and then a planned construction site of a building is marked on a map transmitted from the control server 20, for example. The control server 20 searches for geological data within a predetermined range (for example, a radius of several kilometers) from the planned construction site. Here, regarding the geological data, a plurality of candidates (for example, the data name “AAA” and the data name “BBB” shown in FIG. 5A) may be found.
[0051]
For example, here, the list creation unit 38 of the control server 20 refers to the depth of geological data and the test data in the predetermined range, and generates a list in which the rank is described from the data name of the data most suitable for the application. This may be presented to the user side. Accordingly, the user can select a desired one in consideration of both the usage cost and the suitability for the application.
In the case of creating simulated earthquake motion, it is desirable that the list creation unit 38 of the control server 20 retrieves data relating to active faults and presents the list to the user. The user may search for data relating to the necessary active fault.
[0052]
Further, various parameters necessary for executing the simulation by the operation of the application are input, and then the simulation is executed. Of the simulation results, those that can be represented graphically and simple numerical values are transmitted to the client 12 and displayed on the screen of the display device. The detailed report may be notified to the user later by other means such as mail. This may be set in the control server 20 from the user's client machine 12 prior to execution of the simulation.
[0053]
In this way, when the simulation is executed, the control server 20 calculates the usage fee of the application and / or data by the user according to the used data and the number of times of use, the used application and the number of times of use. . The calculated usage fee and, if necessary, the fee (brokerage fee) of the control server 20 are stored in the user management DB 34 in association with the user who uses the application and / or data. The expenses stored in the user management DB 34 in this way are read out at a predetermined timing (for example, at the end of the month), and based on this, it is possible to issue an invoice or make a payment for a financial institution.
[0054]
Next, a procedure for using the service providing server 22 having both applications and services will be described. For example, when the client machine 12 or the like uses the service providing server 22 from the beginning to use both the application and the service, the control server 20 is accessed, and the content provided by the control server 20 By linking to the service providing server 22, it is sufficient to perform direct data communication between the client machine 12 and the service providing server 22 thereafter.
[0055]
On the other hand, when the client machine 12 or the like desires to specify an application or select the optimum geological data based on this, it is desirable to access the service providing server 22 via the control server 20. . In order to realize this, bibliographic information or the like may be registered in advance in the registration data / application DB 36 of the control server 20 for data and applications owned by the service providing server 22.
[0056]
For example, in FIG. 6, when a list of data and applications is presented to the client machine 12 (see steps 603 and 604), it is described that the list is provided from a single service providing server 22 in the list. Is desirable. FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the list presentation and data and application selection procedure in this case in more detail. Hereinafter, the application provided from the service providing server 22 is referred to as “data-related application”, and the data provided from the service providing server 22 and suitable for execution of the application is referred to as “related data”.
[0057]
In FIG. 9, steps 901 and 902 correspond to steps 701 and 702 in FIG. When a data-related application is designated on the client machine 12 (step 903), the information is transmitted to the control server 20 (step 904). The subsequent steps 905 to 907 correspond to steps 705 to 707 in FIG. The control server 20 determines whether or not the geological data included in the related data exists around the position designated by the user or in the designated area (step 908).
[0058]
If NO is determined in step 908, the process proceeds to step 708 in FIG. 7 (see (1) in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9), and is appropriate according to the purpose and area of the simulation using the application. Geological data is retrieved. Along with this, the client machine 12 also performs processing such as acceptance of a list of data names, etc., selection of any data name, etc. (3) in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9 and step 709. 710). That is, it is desirable to use the data held in the service providing server 22 in relation to the application. However, if appropriate data is not prepared around the position specified by the user, As a measure of this, the data held by the other DB server 16 is searched and an appropriate one is selected by the user.
[0059]
On the other hand, if it is determined as Yes in step 908, the bibliographic information of the related data is transmitted to the client machine 12 (step 909). When the user refers to this and inputs information indicating acceptance / disapproval (step 910), this is transmitted to the client machine 12 (step 911). If the information input by the user is approval (Yes in step 912, see (2) in FIGS. 7 and 9), the parameter input sheet is transmitted to the client machine 12 (step 712). The client machine also proceeds with the processing (see (4) in FIGS. 7 and 9 and steps 712 and 713).
[0060]
On the other hand, if it is determined NO in step 912 (see (1) in FIGS. 7 and 9), the process proceeds to step 708 in FIG. Further, with respect to the client machine 12, the process proceeds to steps 709 and 710 (see (3) in FIGS. 7 and 9).
[0061]
As described above, in the present embodiment, even when using the service providing server 22 in which an application and a server are prepared, geological data suitable for the simulation is provided in consideration of the area where the user wants to execute the simulation. It becomes possible.
