Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing system, an operation method of the information processing system, and a program.

  There is an information processing system that performs predetermined information processing, which includes a plurality of terminal devices and uses two or more terminal devices as one set. Among such information processing systems, there is usually an information processing system that places a terminal device in a dormant state, activates the terminal device when an event occurs, and executes processing of information related to the event. is there.

  Such an information processing system corresponds to an information processing system for processing information when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs.

  For example, as information processing performed when an earthquake occurs, analysis of a waveform, identification of an epicenter, or the like can be considered. Since information related to these processes is enormous, it is difficult to output the information collectively to one terminal device. Therefore, an information processing system that performs information processing when an earthquake occurs uses a plurality of terminal devices as one set, and is configured to output information divided into the plurality of terminal devices. In addition, multiple disasters may occur in a short time. Accordingly, an information processing system that performs information processing when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs includes a plurality of terminal device groups each including two or more terminal devices. Furthermore, since a disaster does not always occur, information processing performed due to the occurrence of a disaster is intermittent. Therefore, an information processing system that performs information processing in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake usually puts the terminal device in a dormant state, activates the terminal device when an event occurs, and processes information related to that event It is configured as follows.

  As a technique related to such an information processing system, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 1.

If the activation process for the first activation unit and the first terminal device group fails, the activation process for the first terminal device group is terminated, and the activation is performed for the second terminal device group. There is provided an information processing system including a second activation unit that executes processing.

  According to the present invention, there is also provided a program for causing a computer connected via a network to a plurality of terminal devices divided into a plurality of terminal device groups each having two or more terminal devices, A detection step for detecting a first event, and a first startup for executing a startup process for processing information related to the event for the first group of terminal devices triggered by the detection by the detection step And when the activation process for the first terminal device group fails, the activation process for the first terminal device group is terminated and the activation process is executed for the second terminal device group.

<Embodiment 1>
First, an overview of the information processing system of this embodiment will be described.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing system according to the present embodiment includes a server device 1 and a plurality of terminal devices 2. Each of the plurality of terminal devices 2 and the server device 1 are connected via a wired and / or wireless network.

  The plurality of terminal devices 2 are divided into a plurality of terminal device groups each having two or more terminal devices 2. In the illustrated example, the information processing system has n terminal device groups, and each terminal device group has two terminal devices 2. Note that the number of terminal device groups and the number of terminal devices 2 included in each terminal device group are design matters, and are not limited to those illustrated.

  Here, each of the plurality of terminal device groups may have a different power supply system and / or network system. In this way, it is possible to avoid the failure of the same cause from occurring simultaneously for a plurality of terminal device groups.

  An example of the outline of the operation of the information processing system having such a configuration will be described.

  First, the plurality of terminal devices 2 are in a dormant state while data processing is not being performed. In this state, when the server device 1 detects the occurrence of a disaster such as an earthquake, the server device 1 performs activation processing on any one of the plurality of terminal device groups, for example, the first terminal device group. Run. And if a starting process is successful, the server apparatus 1 will output the information relevant to disasters, such as an earthquake, via the terminal device 2 which belongs to a 1st terminal device group. Thereafter, the user processes information using the terminal devices 2 belonging to the first terminal device group.

  On the other hand, when the activation process for the first terminal device group fails, the server device 1 stops the activation process for the first terminal device group and executes the activation process for the second terminal device group. And if a starting process is successful, the server apparatus 1 will output the information relevant to disasters, such as an earthquake, via the terminal device 2 which belongs to a 2nd terminal device group. Thereafter, the user processes information using the terminal devices 2 belonging to the second terminal device group.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of each device constituting the information processing system of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

  First, the server apparatus 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the server device 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the server device 1 according to the present embodiment includes an activation unit 10 having a first activation unit 11 and a second activation unit 12, and an external device interface unit 50. Note that the server device 1 according to the present embodiment may further include any one or more of the output unit 20, the event detection unit 30, and the notification unit 40. Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit will be described.

  When the event detection unit 30 detects a predetermined event, the event detection unit 30 transmits information indicating that fact to the activation unit 10 described below. For example, when the event detection unit 30 receives information indicating that a disaster such as an earthquake has occurred, the event detection unit 30 transmits information indicating that fact to the activation unit 10. Information indicating that a disaster such as an earthquake has occurred is an event from an observation data analysis unit (not shown) provided in the server device 1 or in an external device connected to the server device 1 by wire or wirelessly. It may be transmitted to the detection unit 30. The observation data analysis unit analyzes the observation data to identify that a predetermined event has occurred. For example, the observation data analysis unit specifies that an earthquake has occurred by acquiring and analyzing earthquake waveform data and the like. Such a configuration of the observation data analysis unit can be realized in accordance with the prior art. The above-described example is merely an example, and the event detection unit 30 may detect other events. When detecting a predetermined event, the event detection unit 30 may transmit information indicating that to the notification unit 40 described below.

  The 1st starting part 11 performs starting processing for processing the information relevant to the 1st event to the 1st terminal unit group by using the 1st event detection as a trigger.

  Here, the information related to the event may be information related to processing that must be performed immediately due to the occurrence of the event. For example, it may be information related to processing for identifying P waves and S waves from earthquake waveforms (such as data indicating P waves and S waves automatically identified by a computer from waveform data and waveform data). Alternatively, it may be information related to processing for specifying the epicenter of an earthquake (such as data indicating the epicenter position automatically analyzed and specified by a computer). The above is merely an example, and the information related to the event may be other information.

  Next, an activation process for processing information related to an event refers to an AP (Application Program: hereinafter referred to as “event AP”) for processing information related to an event stored in the terminal device 2. The process to be started corresponds. For example, the event AP acquires data related to the event from the server device 1, outputs this data via a display or a speaker, accepts input related to data analysis from the user, and receives the received information to the server device 1. It may have a function to transmit. As another example, the event AP acquires data related to the event from the server device 1, outputs this data via a display or a speaker, receives an input related to data analysis from the user, and receives the received information. It may have a function of performing arithmetic processing based on the result and outputting the result via a display or a speaker. Note that the activation process here may further include a process of activating an OS (Operating System) for activating the event AP stored in the terminal device 2. That is, in order to output information related to an event, the activation process may be “OS activation + event AP activation” or only “event AP activation” using an operating OS. Good. Hereinafter, “startup process for outputting information related to an event” may be simply referred to as “startup process”.

  Next, executing the startup process on the first terminal device group means executing the startup process on a plurality of terminal devices 2 belonging to the first terminal device group.

  Here, the first activation unit 11 determines that the activation process of the first terminal device group is successful when the activation process of the predetermined number of terminal devices 2 in the first terminal device group is successful. On the other hand, if the number of terminal devices 2 that have been successfully activated is less than the predetermined number, the first activation unit 11 determines that the activation processing of the first terminal device group has failed.

  For example, the first activation unit 11 returns information indicating that activation processing is completed from a predetermined number of terminal devices 2 within a predetermined time after executing the activation processing on the first terminal device group. Then, it determines with the starting process with respect to the 1st terminal device group having succeeded. On the other hand, if the number of terminal devices 2 that have returned information indicating that the activation process has been completed within a predetermined time is less than the predetermined number, the first activation unit 11 selects the first terminal device group. It is determined that the activation process for has failed. In addition, that the starting process of the terminal device 2 is successful means that the event AP has started normally.

  When the activation process for the first terminal device group is successful, the first activation unit 11 transmits information indicating that to the output unit 20 described below. On the other hand, when the activation process for the first terminal device group fails, the first activation unit 11 transmits information indicating that to the second activation unit 12 described below.

  Here, the 1st starting part 11 may perform a starting process with respect to all the terminal devices 2 which belong to a 1st terminal device group, and performs a starting process with respect to some of them. May be. In the case where the activation process is executed for a part, if the activation process of any one of the terminal devices 2 fails, the activation process may be executed for another terminal device 2.

  Note that the terminal device 2 is in a dormant state while information related to the event detected by the event detection unit 30 is not processed. The dormant state here may be a state where the event AP and the OS are not operating, or a state where the OS is operating and the event AP is not operating.

  The first activation unit 11 is configured to be able to use the terminal device group information (see FIG. 10) stored in the memory in the server device 1 and through the external device interface unit 50 according to the terminal device group information. Thus, the startup process for the terminal devices 2 belonging to the first terminal device group is executed. The terminal device group information includes information for identifying a plurality of terminal device groups and the terminal devices 2 belonging to each. In the terminal device group information, the order in which the startup process is executed for a plurality of terminal device groups may be determined. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the terminal device group information indicates that each terminal device group is in a state of processing information related to an event (in operation) or is related to an event. Information for identifying whether the information is not being processed (in the case of a dormant state) may be attached. This configuration can be realized by the server device 1 constantly monitoring the state of each terminal device group and rewriting information of the terminal device group information when the state changes. In the example of FIG. 10, the first terminal device group is operating (all of the terminal devices A to C are operating), and the second terminal device group is in the inactive state (all of the terminal devices D to F are in the inactive state). ). In addition, the description regarding the 3rd terminal device group is demonstrated in the following Embodiment 2. FIG.

  The 2nd starting part 12 complete | finishes the starting process with respect to a 1st terminal device group, when the starting process with respect to the 1st terminal device group by the 1st starting part 11 fails, Execute startup processing.

  The means by which the second activation unit 12 detects the failure of the activation process for the first terminal device group is not particularly limited, but may be detected by acquiring information indicating the activation failure from the first activation unit 11. .

  When the second activation unit 12 detects that the activation process for the first terminal device group by the first activation unit 11 has failed, the first activation unit 12 terminates the activation process for the first terminal device group. 11 is controlled. By this control, the first activation unit 11 ends the activation process for the first terminal device group that was being performed at that time. For example, if the first activation unit 11 is configured to repeatedly execute activation processing for the terminal device 2 that does not send back information indicating activation completion, the first activation unit 11 has repeatedly performed activation. The process ends. In addition, the 1st starting part 11 complete | finishes a starting process according to control by the 2nd starting part 12, Then, it starts to a 1st terminal device group via the terminal device 2 which belongs to a 1st terminal device group. Information indicating that a failure has occurred may be output. The terminal device 2 used for outputting such information may be any terminal device 2 on which the OS is operating. Moreover, the 1st starting part 11 may return the terminal device 2 which the starting process succeeded to a dormant state, when the starting process with respect to a 1st terminal device group fails.

  When the second activation unit 12 detects that the activation process for the first terminal device group by the first activation unit 11 has failed, the second activation unit 12 executes the activation process for the second terminal device group. Since the activation process is the same as the activation process performed by the first activation unit 11, the description thereof is omitted.

  Here, when the activation process for the second terminal device group is successful, the second activation unit 12 transmits information indicating the fact to the output unit 20 described below. On the other hand, when the activation process for the second terminal device group fails, the second activation unit 11 ends the activation process for the second terminal device group and performs the activation process for the third terminal device group.

  The output unit 20 is a terminal device group (hereinafter referred to as “startup”) that has been successfully started based on information received from the first starter 11 and the second starter 12 or terminal device group information (see FIG. 10). The terminal device group is identified), and information related to the first event is output to the terminal devices 2 belonging to the activation terminal device group.

  Since the information related to the event is as described above, the description thereof is omitted here. The means by which the output unit 20 acquires information related to the event is a design matter, and may be acquired from an external device, or may be acquired if stored in the server device 1.

  When the event detection unit 30 detects a predetermined event, the notification unit 40 outputs information indicating that to the user. The output means is not particularly limited, and can be realized by using any output device such as a display, a speaker, and a printer. Accordingly, the user can recognize that a disaster such as an earthquake has occurred, for example. Then, the user who has recognized the occurrence of the disaster can quickly move to the terminal device 2 and perform predetermined information processing.

  The external device interface unit 50 inputs information from an external device and outputs information to the external device. Note that the configuration of the external device interface unit 50 is not particularly limited, and can be realized in various modes according to the related art.

  Here, the configuration of the server device 1 of the present embodiment as described above is based on a computer connected to a plurality of terminal devices divided into a plurality of terminal device groups each having two or more terminal devices via a network. A program for executing a detection step for detecting a predetermined event, and a start process for processing information related to the event triggered by the detection by the detection step, the first terminal device A first activation step to be performed on a group, and when the activation process on the first terminal device group fails, the activation process on the first terminal device group is terminated, and the second terminal device A second activation step for executing the activation process on the group, and installing the program on a computer and executing the program. That.

  Next, the terminal device 2 of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the terminal device 2 of the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the terminal device 2 of the present embodiment includes a display unit 80 and an external device interface unit 90. Note that the terminal device 2 of the present embodiment may further include the user input receiving unit 100. Such a terminal device 2 of the present embodiment may be, for example, a PC (Personal Computer). Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit will be described.

  The display unit 80 receives information related to the event from the output unit 20 of the server device 1 via the external device interface unit 90, and outputs this information via a display or the like. Since the information related to the event is as described above, description thereof is omitted here.

  The user input receiving unit 100 is configured using any input device such as a mouse, a keyboard, a microphone, and a touch panel, and receives an input from the user. Note that the user input receiving unit 100 may transmit the received information to the server device 1 via the external device interface unit 90.

  For example, the user input receiving unit 100 receives an input of information for analyzing data from the user while the display unit 80 displays information related to the event. Then, the received information is transmitted to the server device 1 via the external device interface unit 90. Thereafter, the server device 1 performs predetermined calculation processing based on the received information, and transmits information indicating the result to the terminal device 2. Thereafter, the display unit 80 outputs this information via a display or the like.

  Note that the above is an example, and calculation processing is performed in each terminal device 2 based on information received by the user input receiving unit 100, and the display unit 80 may output the result via a display or the like.

  Next, an example of the operation method of the information processing system of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 and the conceptual diagram of FIG.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the information processing system includes two terminal device groups. Each terminal device group includes two terminal devices 2. In addition, this information processing system includes two spare terminal devices 2 that do not belong to any terminal device group.

  First, in the detection step S10, a predetermined event is detected. This process is realized by the event detection unit 30, for example.

Next, in the first activation step S20, activation processing for processing information related to the event is executed for the first terminal device group, triggered by the detection of the event in the detection step S10. This step is realized by, for example, the first activation unit 11.
Here, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 5, an activation failure has occurred in one terminal device 2 belonging to the first terminal device group. For this reason, the starting process for the first terminal device group fails.

  Next, in the second activation step S30, if the activation process for the first terminal device group in the first activation step S20 fails, the activation process for the first terminal device group is terminated, and the second terminal device Perform startup processing on the group. This process is realized by, for example, the second activation unit 12.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, information related to the event is output via the second terminal device group.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when information related to some event is output via the terminal device 2, a start failure has occurred in a certain terminal device group (the first terminal device group in the case of FIG. 5). Even in such a case, it is possible to quickly output information related to the event via the terminal device group (in the case of FIG. 5, the second terminal device group) in which the activation failure has not occurred without requiring a user operation. .

  According to the present embodiment as described above, in the data processing performed after starting the terminal device in the dormant state, it is possible to minimize the time loss of data processing due to the start failure of the terminal device. As a result, related information (earthquake early warning, etc.) when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs can be quickly transmitted without delay.

<Embodiment 2>
The present embodiment is based on the first embodiment, and further includes means for dealing with a case where a plurality of events occur in a short time and there is no terminal device group for which the startup process is successful.

  First, the server apparatus 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the server device 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the server device 1 of the present embodiment includes an activation unit 10 having a first activation unit 11, a second activation unit 12, and a third activation unit 13, an output unit 20, and an external device. A device interface unit 50. The server device 1 according to the present embodiment includes any one of the event detection unit 30, the notification unit 40, the switching unit 60 including the first switching unit 61 and the second switching unit 62, and the receiving unit 70. You may further have the above. Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit will be described. Note that the configurations of the first activation unit 11, the second activation unit 12, the event detection unit 30, the notification unit 40, and the external device interface unit 50 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will be described here. Is omitted.

  When the activation terminal device group detects the second event while the activation terminal device group is displaying information related to the first event, the third activation unit 13 uses the same as a trigger to activate the third terminal device group. Execute. Then, if the activation process fails and there are no other terminal device groups that can be activated, only the activateable terminal device 2 in the third terminal device group is activated.

  Since the activation process here is the same as the activation process performed by the first activation unit 11, the description thereof will be omitted. Note that the activation process by the third activation unit 13 may be realized using the terminal device group information described above (see FIG. 10). That is, the third activation unit 13 may recognize that the activation terminal device group is displaying information related to the first event using the terminal device group information. Then, the terminal device group information may be used to identify a third terminal device group that is not in operation and execute the startup process. Although not shown, the terminal device group information may be provided with information for identifying the terminal device group in which the activation failure has occurred. And the 3rd starting part 13 may judge whether the terminal device group which can be started remains based on this information. Note that the addition of information for identifying the terminal device group in which the activation failure has occurred can be realized by rewriting the information each time the activation process by the activation unit 10 fails. When the activation failure is resolved by maintenance or the like, this information may be rewritten by a user operation.

  When only the terminal device 2 that can be activated in the third terminal device group is activated, the third activation unit 13 transmits information indicating that to the output unit 20. In addition, information indicating that, that is, information indicating that only some of the terminal devices 2 in the terminal device group have been activated and information identifying the activated terminal devices 2 are written in the terminal device group information. Also good. In FIG. 10, it is written that only the terminal devices G and H are operating in the third terminal device group.

  The output unit 20 identifies the third terminal device group and the activated terminal device 2 based on the information received from the third activation unit 13 or the terminal device group information, and the event is given only to the activated terminal device 2. Output information related to. At this time, the output unit 20 outputs information to be output to the at least one terminal device 2 among the activated terminal devices 2 via the two or more terminal devices 2. For example, the output unit 20 outputs information output via the two terminal devices 2 to the single terminal device 2 when outputting via the activation terminal device group. The terminal device 2 that has received such information processes and outputs all the acquired information. Although the output means is not particularly limited, for example, it may be displayed on a so-called multi-screen obtained by dividing one screen into a plurality of screens, or a plurality of windows may be created and displayed on the screen.

  When the start terminal device group finishes displaying the information related to the first event, the first switching unit 61 uses this as a trigger to end the display of the information related to the second event. The group display unit 80 is controlled. Further, the first switching unit 61 outputs information related to the second event displayed by the third terminal device group at that time to the terminal devices 2 belonging to the activated terminal device group that has finished displaying. The output unit 20 is controlled.

  For example, the 1st switching part 61 may implement | achieve the said process using terminal device group information (FIG. 10). That is, the first switching unit 61 uses the terminal device group information to identify the activation terminal device group (the operating terminal device group: the first terminal device group in the case of FIG. 10), and this terminal device group. The timing at which the state changes to the hibernation state is monitored. Then, when the state of the activated terminal device group changes to the dormant state, it is searched whether there is a terminal device group activated by the third activation unit 13. In the case of the figure, the third terminal device group that is neither in operation nor in a dormant state corresponds. When the first switching unit 61 specifies that the third terminal device group is the terminal device group activated by the third activation unit 13, the third terminal device terminates the display of the information related to the event. The group display unit 80 is controlled. In addition, before and after this control, the first switching unit 61 controls the starting unit 10 to start the first terminal device group (starting terminal device group that has finished display), and then the third terminal device until then. The output unit 20 is controlled to output the information displayed by the terminal device group to the first terminal device group.

  The means for the output unit 20 to acquire the information output to the first terminal device group (the information displayed by the third terminal device group until then) is not particularly limited. For example, the following means may be used. There may be. For example, when the output unit 20 transmits information related to an event to the terminal device 2 via the external device interface unit 50, the output unit 20 is configured to hold the transmission information. Then, the information displayed by the third terminal device group until then may be extracted from the stored information. Alternatively, when the display of the third terminal device group is ended, the information displayed so far may be acquired from the third terminal device group via the external device interface units 90 and 50.

  The accepting unit 70 accepts an instruction input (hereinafter referred to as “switching instruction input”) for switching the information displayed by the fourth terminal device group to display by the fifth terminal device group from the user. That is, when the user input receiving unit 100 (see FIG. 3) of the terminal device 2 receives a switching instruction input from the user, the receiving unit 70 receives the switching instruction input via the external device interface units 90 and 50. The terminal device 2 that accepts the switching instruction input may be any terminal device 2 that is operating in the OS or the OS and the event AP.

  The 2nd switching part 62 controls the display part 80 of a 4th terminal device group so that the display of the information relevant to an event may be complete | finished according to the reception content by the reception part 70. FIG. Further, the second switching unit 62 controls the output unit 20 to output information related to the event displayed by the fourth terminal device group at that time to the terminal devices 2 belonging to the fifth terminal device group. To do.

  In addition, since the switching process by the 2nd switching part 62 is realizable according to the switching process of the 1st switching part 61, description here is abbreviate | omitted.

  Next, the effect of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 7 thru | or 9. FIG.

  7 to 9, the information processing system includes two terminal device groups. Each terminal device group includes two terminal devices 2. In addition, this information processing system includes two spare terminal devices 2 that do not belong to any terminal device group.

  In FIG. 7, a start failure has occurred in one terminal device 2 belonging to the first terminal device group, and information related to the first event is output via the second terminal device group. .
