Description

  The present invention relates to a notification device that detects input / output of an externally connected sensor or the like and notifies various notification states to a notification destination registered in advance using mail.

  In the conventional reporting device, it takes time to notice the error mail unless the individual confirms the error mail transmitted from the mail server. For this reason, there was a possibility that a report omission would occur.

  In the conventional reporting device, when a plurality of reporting destinations that notify various monitoring states are registered, the reporting is performed in the order registered in the reporting destination. For this reason, the transmission speed of reports and the error frequency of reports were not taken into consideration, and once the destination of the report destination was set, there was not much change.

  Note that Patent Document 1 discloses a monitoring information notification method for transmitting a message having the same content as a transmitted notification message to a subordinate notification destination when the notification message transmitted as an e-mail has not arrived at the notification destination due to a network problem or the like. Disclosure.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a reporting method, a reporting device, and a reporting program that increase the accuracy of reporting by a reporting device and increase stability.

  In the present invention, a report mail is periodically transmitted to a plurality of report destinations, each response time is measured, and the report destination with the shortest response time is set as the first report destination.

  The present invention has the following effects.

  It is difficult to notify or connect to the report by periodically sending a notification email to multiple notification destinations, measuring each response time, and setting the notification destination with the shortest response time as the first notification destination. You can mark the report destination and improve the accuracy of the report

It is a figure which shows the example of a mail reception screen. It is a figure which shows the example of a rereport and a transfer mail. It is a block diagram of the notification apparatus by the 2nd Embodiment of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows operation | movement of the notification apparatus of 2nd Embodiment. It is a figure which shows the example of a priority notification destination list.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
Referring to FIG. 1, the notification device according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a database unit 1, a control unit 2 </ b> A, a line I / F unit 3, a LAN I / F unit 4, and a sensor input / output unit 5.

  The database unit 1 performs log management of report history and data management of report destinations. The sensor input / output unit 5 detects input / output of an externally connected sensor or the like. The control unit 2 performs, for example, error mail processing and report destination setting based on information from the database unit 1, and various interface units (line I / F unit 3, LAN I / F unit) by output from the sensor input / output unit 5. 4. The sensor input / output unit 5) is controlled, and the line I / F unit 3 is instructed to notify the pre-registered report destination of various monitoring states. Similarly, the LAN I / F unit 4 performs mail notification using the LAN.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment in which error mail from the mail server of the notification device is recognized on the device side, the content of the error mail is attached to the second notification destination, and re-reporting and forwarding is performed is shown in FIG. Will be described with reference to FIG. 2 is performed by the control unit 2A.

  Input / output of an externally connected sensor or the like is detected, and various monitoring states are notified to the first registered report destination using mail (step 100). It is determined whether an error mail is received in the received mail BOX (step 101). The mail reception screen is shown in FIG. Sort the subject (1) in the subject and the sentence and check if an error mail has been received. The sorting of the part (1) is performed for the error messages listed in Table 1 that are listed as common error mails in the mail server.

  If there is an error message in Table 1 in the part (1), or if it is sorted into the destination list before and after the destination @, a mail addressed to the second destination is created (step 102) . The re-report and forwarded mail are shown in FIG. The notification mail and the error mail that should be transmitted to the first destination are transferred (step 103). If an error mail has been received again, transmission is made to the third destination, and the process of FIG. 2 is repeated until no error mail is received.

[Second Embodiment]
Referring to FIG. 5, the reporting device according to the second exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a database unit 1, a control unit 2 </ b> B, a line I / F unit 3, a LAN I / F unit 4, and a sensor input / output unit 5. Only the processing of the control unit 2B is different from the first reporting device.

  Next, an operation method according to the present embodiment in which batch transmission is periodically performed to a plurality of report destinations, response time is measured, and the shortest report destination is set as the first report destination will be described with reference to FIG.

  Applicable when there are multiple report destinations, and should be done regularly (such as once a month). First, an e-mail is transmitted to all registered report destinations (step 200). A timer for an arbitrary time is started (step 201), and if a mail cannot be connected even if the set notification connection time (arbitrary time) is exceeded, the priority is lowered (step 202). 206), 1 is added to the number of connection failures (step 207). Then, the e-mail is transmitted again to all registered report destinations (step 200). If the connection can be established within the notification connection time (arbitrary time), the response time is measured and added to the “response time (cumulative)” shown in FIG. 7 (step 202, step 203). Steps 201 to 203 are repeated until the number of connections is three (step 204), and when the periodic survey is performed three times, a previously registered report destination list is recreated (step 205).

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a list of registered report destinations. At each report destination, if the number of report connection failures is small, move to the top, and if the total response time is small, move to the top, the priority report destination list is recreated, and the report destination with the best response speed is the first. Set the report destination and end the process.

  Note that the function of the reporting device may be that a program for realizing the function is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read by the computer and executed. Good. The computer-readable recording medium refers to a recording medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, and a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk device built in a computer system. Further, the computer-readable recording medium is a medium that dynamically holds the program for a short time (transmission medium or transmission wave) as in the case of transmitting the program via the Internet, and in the computer serving as a server in that case Such as a volatile memory that holds a program for a certain period of time.
