Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a monitoring screen creation device 1 according to Embodiment 1. As shown in FIG. The monitoring screen creation device 1 is a device for creating a monitoring screen displayed on a monitoring screen display device (not shown).

The monitoring screen display device acquires monitoring data from various monitoring facilities via telephone lines or Internet lines. A monitoring facility is, for example, a facility installed in a building or a factory. In the following, equipment to be monitored, that is, monitoring equipment will also be referred to as an object. The monitoring data includes, for example, data indicating operating status and data indicating operation history. The operating status of monitoring equipment installed in a building or factory is displayed in real time on the monitoring screen of the monitoring screen display device. The monitoring screen display device controls settings of the monitoring equipment according to the acquired monitoring data.

In the monitoring screen display device, a monitoring screen including graphics, graphs, event histories, etc. is prepared in advance. In the following description, a component, an image, a background component, a background image, a graph, a numerical value, or the like displayed on the monitoring screen will be referred to as a symbol. Symbols include equipment symbols, numerical symbols, graph symbols, and ledger symbols. The facility symbol is a symbol that illustrates the monitoring facility. A numerical symbol is a symbol representing a temperature, a power value, or the like. A report symbol is a symbol used for management of monitoring equipment.

A floor plan may be included in the monitoring screen displayed on the monitoring screen display device. The floor plan displays the operating status of the monitoring equipment installed on each floor. For example, if building A has 10 floors, the monitoring screen for building A includes the floor plan of the 1st floor, the floor plan of the 2nd floor, . be The floor plan of the first floor displays the operation status of each monitoring equipment installed on the first floor. The floor plan on the second floor displays the operation status of each monitoring equipment installed on the second floor. Similarly, the floor plan of the 10th floor displays the operation status of each monitoring equipment installed on the 10th floor.

When the car of the elevator provided in the building A stops at each floor, a symbol indicating the elevator is arranged on the floor plan of each floor. On the other hand, if the car of the elevator provided in the building A does not stop at some floors, the floor plan of the floor does not have a symbol indicating the elevator. Further, when a plurality of doorways are formed in the car of the elevator, the doors to be opened and closed are specified for each floor plan. With the monitoring screen creating apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, a monitoring screen including such a floor plan can be created efficiently and easily.

The functions of the monitoring screen creation device 1 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8 as well. As shown in FIG. 1 , the monitoring screen creation device 1 includes a data storage unit 11 , a data storage unit 12 , a data storage unit 13 , a data storage unit 14 and a data storage unit 15 . Furthermore, the monitoring screen creation device 1 includes a screen display unit 16 , an operation processing unit 17 , a screen editing unit 18 , a generation processing unit 19 , an allocation unit 20 , and a parent-child relationship generation unit 21 . Each unit indicated by reference numerals 11 to 21 indicates the function of the monitoring screen creation device 1. FIG.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of hardware resources of the monitoring screen creation device 1. As shown in FIG. The monitoring screen creation device 1 includes a processing circuit 30 as a hardware resource. For example, processing circuit 30 comprises processor 31 , memory 32 , memory 33 , input/output interface 34 and network interface 35 .

The memory 32 stores a program for realizing the functions of the monitoring screen creation device 1 . The monitoring screen creation device 1 realizes the functions of the units indicated by reference numerals 16 to 21 by executing the programs stored in the memory 32 by the processor 31 . The memory 33 stores data for realizing the functions of the monitoring screen creation device 1 . A memory 33 realizes the function of each storage unit indicated by reference numerals 11 to 15 .

The processor 31 is also called a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a central processing unit, an arithmetic unit, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, or a DSP. A semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a mini disk, or a DVD may be used as the memory 32 or memory 33 . Semiconductor memories that may be employed as memory 32 or memory 33 include RAM, ROM, flash memory, EPROM, EEPROM, and the like.

Processing circuitry 30 may further comprise dedicated hardware (not shown). That is, part of the functions of the monitoring screen creation device 1 may be realized by dedicated hardware. As another example, all the functions of the monitoring screen creation device 1 may be realized by dedicated hardware. Dedicated hardware may be single circuits, multiple circuits, programmed processors, parallel programmed processors, ASICs, FPGAs, or combinations thereof.

The monitoring screen creation device 1 is connected to external devices via an input/output interface 34 . The external device includes the display device 2 and the input device 3 . For example, the display device 2 is a display 2a for a PC. The display device 2 may be a display of a tablet or a display built into a monitoring board. The input device 3 includes, for example, a keyboard 3a and a mouse 3b. The input device 3 may be a touch panel type input device.

The monitoring screen creation device 1 transmits and receives data to and from the monitoring equipment 4 via the network interface 35 .

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing an operation example of the monitoring screen creation device 1 according to the first embodiment. The screen display unit 16 displays the created screen on the display device 2 based on the data from the screen editing unit 18 . The user creates a monitoring screen by operating the input device 3 while viewing the created screen displayed on the display device 2 .

The screen display unit 16 is, for example, a web browser. The data from the screen editor 18 includes, for example, HTML format data, image data, audio data, or moving image data. The data from the screen editor 18 may include data for screen drawing such as JAVASCRIPT (registered trademark) or CSS.

Information input by the user operating the input device 3 is input to the operation processing section 17 via the screen display section 16 . The operation processing section 17 processes information input via the screen display section 16 . For example, by operating the input device 3, the user selects one symbol from the list of symbols and arranges that symbol in a specific area within the creation screen.

The screen editing unit 18 uses data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 11 to perform processing according to input information from the input device 3 . For example, the screen editing unit 18 selects a symbol specified by the user from the data storage unit 11 based on input information from the input device 3 . The screen editor 18 arranges the selected symbol in a specific area within the creation screen (S101).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 11. As shown in FIG. The data accumulation unit 11 accumulates data relating to symbols. For example, the data accumulation unit 11 accumulates logic-added symbol data and static symbol data. The symbol data with logic is data in which behavior is added to dynamic symbols that change according to the content of the supervisory signal. Static symbol data is data that indicates an immutable symbol. The data storage unit 11 stores symbols created in advance or symbols newly created during development.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 11 include symbol materials 40, behavior definitions 41, and a correspondence table 42. FIG. A symbol material 40 is a material used as a symbol. FIG. 4 shows an example in which symbols necessary for a monitoring screen of a building equipped with an elevator are stored in the data storage unit 11 as symbol materials 40. FIG. For example, a building symbol, a bank symbol, an elevator symbol, and an escalator symbol are registered in advance in the data storage unit 11 as symbols representing objects.

The behavior definition 41 defines the behavior of the symbol that changes according to the content of the supervisory signal. The behavior definition 41 is created in advance by the user, for example, by a script. FIG. 4 shows, as an example, details of a behavior definition 41 whose definition name is aaa. The behavior definition 41 whose definition name is aaa defines that the door of the elevator symbol is displayed large if the monitor signal indicating the open/closed state of the elevator door is 0. The behavior definition 41 defines that when the monitor signal is 1, the door of the elevator symbol is displayed small.

The correspondence table 42 is an example of symbol display data defining symbol types and symbol display formats. The correspondence table 42 associates the symbol material 40 with the behavior definition 41 . FIG. 4 shows an example in which the correspondence table 42 includes items such as symbol type, width, height, behavior definition name, and description. The item “symbol type” uniquely represents the symbol material 40 . The items "width" and "height" indicate the width and height of the symbol when the symbol is arranged on the creation screen. The symbol representing the building and the symbol representing the bank remain unchanged regardless of the content of the supervisory signal. Therefore, no behavior definition name corresponding to the symbol type “building” is registered in the correspondence table 42 . Similarly, the correspondence table 42 does not register a behavior definition name corresponding to the symbol type "bank".

After the processing of S101 is performed, the generation processing unit 19 determines whether or not a child symbol is registered for the symbol selected and arranged in S101 (S102). The generation processing unit 19 makes the determination of S102 based on the symbol hierarchical data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 12. FIG.

5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining the data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 15. FIG. The data storage unit 15 stores data related to objects. For example, the data storage unit 15 stores data indicating the hierarchy of objects. Invariant data is accumulated in the data accumulation unit 15 regardless of the operation status of the object. The immutable data includes the object name, the installation date of the object, and the like.

FIG. 5 is a class diagram representing a hierarchy of objects. In the example shown in FIG. 5, there are a Building class, a Bank class, an Es class, and an Ele class as classes related to monitoring equipment. There are EleA class and EleB class as successors of Ele class. The Building class manages data about buildings. The Bank class manages data related to banks. The Es class manages data about escalators. The Ele class manages data about elevators.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the Building class is one class higher than the Bank class. The Building class is one class higher than the Es class. The Bank class is one class higher than the Ele class.

FIG. 6 is an object diagram showing details of an object. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the correspondence between object names and class names is represented by colons. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the hierarchy of objects is three levels. It is sufficient if the object hierarchy has multiple levels.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the Building class includes an object (monitoring facility) with the object name "Building1". The object name indicates the individual entity name of the monitoring facility. The Bank class includes an object with an object name of "Bank1" and an object with an object name of "Bank2". The Es class contains an object with the object name "Es1". The EleA class includes an object with the object name "Ele1", an object with the object name "Ele2", and an object with the object name "Ele3". The EleB class contains an object with the object name "Ele4".

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the object with the object name "Building1" is an object one level higher than the object with the object name "Bank1", the object with the object name "Bank2", and the object with the object name "Es1". The object with the object name “Bank1” is an object one level higher than the object with the object name “Ele1” and the object with the object name “Ele2”. The object with the object name “Bank2” is an object one level higher than the object with the object name “Ele3” and the object with the object name “Ele4”.

In this embodiment, for example, when object B is an object one level higher than object C, object B is also referred to as a parent object of object C. FIG. Similarly, when object C is an object one level lower than object B, object C is also referred to as a child object of object B. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the object with the object name "Bank1" is not the parent object of the object with the object name "Ele3". Similarly, the object with the object name "Ele3" is not a child object of the object with the object name "Bank1".

Table 1 shows an example of data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 15. Table 1 is an example of object hierarchy data defining object types and higher-level objects for each object. Table 1 includes items of object name, object type, and parent object name. Table 1 shows class names as object types.

Table 2 shows an example of data generated by the allocation unit 20. The allocation unit 20 allocates corresponding symbol types to the object types stored in the data storage unit 15 . Specifically, the allocation unit 20 allocates symbol types defined in the correspondence table 42 of the data storage unit 11 to object types.

As shown in Table 2, the functions of the allocation unit 20 can associate the objects, which are monitoring equipment, with the symbols arranged on the creation screen. As shown in Table 1, by assigning symbol types on an object-type basis rather than an object-by-object basis, this assignment process can be labor-saving.

Table 3 is an example of data generated by the parent-child relationship generation unit 21 . Table 3 is an example of symbol hierarchy data that defines, for each symbol, the corresponding object, the type of symbol, and the lower level symbols. As shown in Table 3, the parent-child relationship generation unit 21 defines individual symbols arranged on the creation screen. The parent-child relationship generation unit 21 performs the above definition based on the data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 11, the data including the object hierarchy data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 15, and the data generated by the allocation unit 20. The data generated by the parent-child relationship generation unit 21 is stored in the data storage unit 12 .

As shown in Table 3, the parent-child relationship generation unit 21 defines symbols for each object name stored in the data storage unit 15 . Items in Table 3 include symbol ID, symbol type, object name, supervisory signal, and child symbol ID. A symbol is uniquely represented by a symbol ID. Monitoring data from monitoring equipment is uniquely represented by a monitoring signal.

Table 3 shows an example in which serial numbers are generated based on parent-child relationships of symbols for supervisory signals. This is because the structure of supervisory data represented by supervisory signals is often similar to the hierarchical structure of objects. Thereby, the visibility of the monitor signal can be improved. Also, Table 3 shows an example in which child symbol IDs are set for each symbol. Table 3 shows an example in which the child symbol IDs are set according to the order of the objects shown in Table 1, but the child symbol IDs may be set in another order.

In the example shown in Table 3, child symbol IDs "S001", "S004", and "S007" are registered for the symbol with the symbol ID "S000". When the symbol specified by the symbol ID “S000” is selected and arranged in S101, the generation processing unit 19 determines Yes in S102. When the generation processing unit 19 determines Yes in S102, it automatically generates a child symbol registered for the symbol (S103). The generation processing unit 19 performs the automatic generation processing of S103 based on the data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 13 and the data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 14 as well.

Table 4 shows an example of data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 14. The data accumulation unit 14 accumulates data relating to elevators. Table 4 shows an example of elevator data defining floor-specific settings for each elevator. Table 4 includes items such as object name, stop floor, and opening/closing door.

In the example shown in Table 4, elevator data includes stop floor information and door information. The stop floor information is information indicating whether or not the car of the elevator stops for each floor. The door information is information representing how many doors provided in the car of the elevator open and close for each floor.

In the example shown in Table 4, the stop floor information is expressed in binary in the item "stop floor". That is, the leftmost number indicates whether or not the car stops at the first floor. The second number from the left indicates whether the car stops at the second floor. Similarly, the tenth number from the left indicates whether the car stops at the tenth floor. Also, the number 1 indicates that the car stops. The number 0 indicates that the car will not stop or cannot stop.

For example, the stop floor "1111100000" means that the car stops from the first floor to the fifth floor because the first to fifth numbers from the left are 1. Also, since the sixth to tenth numbers from the left are 0, it means that the car does not stop from the sixth floor to the tenth floor.

In the example shown in Table 4, the number of doors to be opened and closed is represented by numbers in the item "doors to open/close". That is, the leftmost number represents the number of doors that open and close on the first floor. The second number from the left represents the number of doors that open and close on the second floor. Similarly, the tenth number from the left indicates the number of doors that open and close on the tenth floor.

For example, the open/close door "1111122222" means that one door opens and closes from the first floor to the fifth floor because the first to fifth numbers from the left are 1. In addition, the sixth to tenth numbers from the left are 2, which means that two doors open and close from the sixth floor to the tenth floor.

Table 5 shows an example of data stored in the data storage unit 13. The data accumulation unit 13 accumulates data relating to rules for arranging symbols on the creation screen. The rules include placement rules for placing child symbols within the display area of the parent symbol. Table 5 shows an example of this placement rule. Table 5 includes items such as symbol type, placement direction, and line feed standard. Table 5 shows an example in which two kinds of symbol types, "bank 1" and "bank 2," are defined as bank symbol types. The arrangement direction indicates the direction in which the child symbols are arranged side by side. The line feed standard indicates the number of child symbols included in one column if the arrangement direction is vertical. The line feed standard indicates the number of child symbols included in one line if the arrangement direction is horizontal.

Table 5 shows an example of placement rules. For example, placement rules may include alignment criteria indicating left or right justification, spacing between symbols, or margins to parent symbols.

In S<b>103 , the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates child symbols based on the floor information input from the input device 3 as well. For example, if the user wishes to create a floor plan of the first floor, the user inputs floor information "first floor" from the input device 3 . The user inputs the floor information "10th floor" from the input device 3 to create a floor plan of the 10th floor. As an example, the operation when the building symbol 50 having the object name "Building1" is arranged on the creation screen in S101 will be described in detail below.

7 and 8 are diagrams showing examples of creation screens displayed on the display device 2. FIG. FIG. 7 shows a floor plan of the first floor. FIG. 8 shows a floor plan of the 10th floor.

As shown in Table 3, the symbol ID of the building symbol 50 with the object name "Building1" is "S000". Child symbol IDs "S001", "S004", and "S007" are registered for the symbol ID "S000". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates the bank symbol 51 with the object name "Bank1", the bank symbol 52 with the object name "Bank2", and the escalator symbol 53 with the object name "Es1".

For example, the generation processing unit 19 arranges bank symbols 51 , bank symbols 52 and escalator symbols 53 in the display area of the building symbol 50 according to the arrangement rule accumulated in the data accumulation unit 13 . As shown in Table 5, the placement rule for the symbol type "building" is "horizontal" for the placement direction and "2 symbols" for the line feed standard. Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the bank symbol 51 and the bank symbol 52 side by side in the display area of the building symbol 50 . In addition, the generation processing unit 19 rearranges the row for the escalator symbol 53, which is the third child symbol. 7 and 8 show examples in which the generation processing unit 19 arranges three symbols in order of registration of child symbol IDs.

The generation processing unit 19 generates bank symbols 51 , bank symbols 52 , and escalator symbols 53 according to the display formats registered in the correspondence table 42 . As described above, the child symbols are arranged within the display area of the parent symbol. A warning display may be displayed on the display device 2 when a part of the child symbols is out of the display area of the parent symbols when the child symbols are arranged in the display area of the parent symbols according to the arrangement rule and display format. .

Further, as shown in Table 3, child symbol IDs "S002" and "S003" are registered for the symbol ID "S001". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates the elevator symbol 54 with the object name "Ele1" and the elevator symbol 55 with the object name "Ele2".

For example, the generation processing section 19 arranges the elevator symbol 54 and the elevator symbol 55 in the display area of the bank symbol 51 according to the arrangement rule accumulated in the data accumulation section 13 . As shown in Table 5, the placement rule for the symbol type "bank 1" is "horizontal" for the placement direction and "2 symbols" for the line feed standard. Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the elevator symbol 54 and the elevator symbol 55 side by side in the display area of the bank symbol 51 .

Furthermore, the generation processing unit 19 displays the elevator symbol 54 and the elevator symbol 55 based on the input floor information and the elevator data accumulated in the data accumulation unit 14 . For example, the generation processing unit 19 determines whether or not to display the elevator symbol 54 on the creation screen based on the stop floor information included in the elevator data and the input floor information. As shown in Table 4, for elevator symbol 54, both the 1st and 10th floors are stop floors. Therefore, the elevator symbol 54 is displayed on both the floor plan of the 1st floor and the floor plan of the 10th floor.

The generation processing unit 19 similarly determines whether or not to display the elevator symbol 55 on the creation screen. As shown in Table 4, for elevator symbol 55, floor 1 is a stopping floor, but floor 10 is not. Therefore, the elevator symbol 55 is displayed on the floor plan of the 1st floor, but the elevator symbol 55 is not displayed on the floor plan of the 10th floor.

Furthermore, the generation processing unit 19 determines the number of doors included in the elevator symbol 54 based on the door information included in the elevator data and the input floor information. As shown in Table 4, for elevator symbol 54, the number of doors that open and close is 1 on both the 1st and 10th floors. Therefore, the elevator symbol 54 including one door is displayed on both the floor plan of the 1st floor and the floor plan of the 10th floor.

The generation processing unit 19 similarly determines the number of doors included in the elevator symbol 55 for the elevator symbol 55 . As shown in Table 4, for elevator symbol 55, the number of doors that open and close on the first floor is two. Therefore, in the floor plan of the first floor, an elevator symbol 55 containing two doors is displayed. The door information may include the direction of the door, the type of the door, and the like.

Similarly, as shown in Table 3, child symbol IDs "S005" and "S006" are registered for symbol ID "S004". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates the elevator symbol 56 with the object name "Ele3" and the elevator symbol 57 with the object name "Ele4".

As shown in Table 5, the placement rule for the symbol type "bank 2" is "horizontal" for the placement direction and "1 symbol" for the line feed standard. Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the elevator symbol 56 and the elevator symbol 57 vertically in the display area of the bank symbol 52 .

Further, as shown in Table 4, with respect to the elevator symbol 56, both the 1st floor and the 10th floor are stop floors. Therefore, the elevator symbol 56 is displayed on both the floor plan of the 1st floor and the floor plan of the 10th floor. Similarly, the elevator symbol 57 is displayed on both the floor plan of the 1st floor and the floor plan of the 10th floor.

Further, as shown in Table 4, for the elevator symbol 56, the number of doors that open and close on the 1st floor is 1, and the number of doors that open and close on the 10th floor is 2. Therefore, in the floor plan of the first floor, an elevator symbol 56 including one door is displayed. In the floor plan for the 10th floor, an elevator symbol 56 containing two doors is displayed. On the other hand, for the elevator symbol 57, as shown in Table 4, the number of doors that open and close on both the 1st floor and the 10th floor is one. Therefore, the elevator symbol 57 including one door is displayed on both the floor plan of the 1st floor and the floor plan of the 10th floor.

As shown in Table 3, no child symbol ID is registered for symbol IDs "S002", "S003", "S005", and "S006". Therefore, when the elevator symbols 54 to 57 are automatically generated, it is determined as No in S102. If it is determined No in S102, it is determined whether or not there are other symbols to be arranged (S104). If it is determined as Yes in S104, the above procedure is repeated. If the determination in S104 is No, the series of processing ends.

In the example shown in this embodiment, the monitoring screen can be efficiently created even when the symbol representing the elevator is included in the monitoring screen. In the example shown in the present embodiment, elevator data may be obtained online in real time and the obtained elevator data may be accumulated in the data accumulation unit 14 . Elevator data may be acquired in advance and stored in the data storage unit 14, and symbols may be automatically generated off-line.
