This is information shown for each generator included in the plant. The "event occurrence history" is, for example, a record of a predetermined period of time ago from the present among the records of the event information database DB3, and the "importance" is a predetermined rank (for example, the importance is "B"). This is information indicating the above record group. For example, the "generator output trend" derives the generated power amount based on the records shown in the log information database DB1, and calculates the derived output power amount of the power generation plant at predetermined intervals (for example, every hour, every 30 minutes). This is the information shown in each month). The “power generation amount” is, for example, a value derived based on the records of the log information database DB1, and is information indicating a value indicating the amount of power generation for a predetermined period for each generator included in the power generation plant. The “fuel consumption amount” is, for example, a value derived based on the records of the log information database DB1, and is information indicating the ratio of the fuel consumption amount to the amount of generated power for a predetermined period.

The reception unit 121 receives an operation input by the user into the terminal device TM in response to the display of the selection image IMs2 as an instruction from the user. The template information generation unit 122 determines monitoring information to be assigned to the layout diagram LY of each page based on the user's instruction accepted by the reception unit 121. In FIG. 12, the template information generation unit 122 determines that among the five images included in the layout of one page, the first image is assigned an image showing the power generation status, and the second image is assigned the generator output trend.

In FIG. 13, the selection image IMs3 includes an option for selecting the display mode of the monitoring information selected in the selection image IMs2 for each image, and a "select data display mode" option that prompts the user to select the display mode of the monitoring information. Message MS3 such as "Please do so." is included.

The options for displaying the monitoring information are, for example, a "meter" that shows part of the information included in the record, a "line graph" that shows part of the information included in the record, and a "line graph" that shows part of the information included in the record. These include "numeric values" and "images" that indicate records or part of information contained in records. Note that the options for displaying the monitoring information are merely examples, and are not limited to these, and may include other options. Further, the reception unit 121 may add options for the display mode of the monitoring information based on instructions from the user via the terminal device TM, and may be frequently used by other users as options for the display mode of the monitoring information. The displayed information may be referred to and added, or display mode options may be predetermined according to the characteristics of the monitoring information. For example, when the monitoring information is a record of the log information database DB1, the reception unit 121 includes a graph as an option for displaying numerical values such as measured value data included in the record, and if the monitoring information is a record of the event information database DB3. If it is a record, table format is included as an option for displaying information related to the event.

The reception unit 121 receives an operation input by the user into the terminal device TM in response to the display of the selection image IMs3 as an instruction from the user. The template information generation unit 122 determines the display mode of the selected monitoring information based on the user's instruction received by the reception unit 121. In FIG. 13, the template information generation unit 122 determines that of the five images included in the layout of one page, the first image will display the value or level included in the corresponding monitoring information in a meter format. , the second image is determined to display the values included in the corresponding monitoring information as a line graph, the third image is determined to be an image showing the monitoring information (record), and the fourth image and the fifth image are the corresponding ones. It is determined that the value or degree (level) included in the monitoring information is to be displayed using a bar graph.

[About determining the context menu]
Next, the receiving unit 121 receives a selection of a context menu to be associated with the image. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a selection image IMs4 used for selecting a context menu. A selection image IMs4 for each page of a website providing monitoring information is displayed on the terminal device TM, and a selection of a context menu corresponding to (an image representing) the monitoring information is accepted.

The context menu is, for example, a menu that is displayed when an operation (eg, right click of a mouse) to display a context menu is performed on an associated image. The context menu is used to provide more detailed information about the image (monitoring information) associated with the context menu, or to execute processing on a target device related to the monitoring information. When a context menu is selected in a state where the context menu is displayed by an operation to display the context menu, the maintenance operation unit 140, which will be described later, executes processing related to the selected context menu.

In FIG. 14, the selection image IMs4 includes, for each image represented by the display mode of monitoring information determined in the selection image IMs3, an option for selecting a context menu associated with the image, and a prompt for prompting the user to select a context menu. The message MS4 includes a message such as "Please select a context menu to correspond to each image."

Options on the context menu include, for example, the "Event Detailed Information" menu, the "Equipment Detailed Information" menu, and the "Issue Repair Request Sheet" menu. Note that the options on the context menu are just examples, and are not limited to these, and may include other options. Further, the reception unit 121 may add options for the display mode of the monitoring information based on instructions from the user via the terminal device TM, and may be frequently used by other users as options for the display mode of the monitoring information. You may refer to the information provided and add to it.

The reception unit 121 receives an operation input by the user into the terminal device TM in response to the display of the selection image IMs4 as an instruction from the user. The template information generation unit 122 determines a context menu to be associated with an image indicating monitoring information of each page based on the user's instruction received by the reception unit 121. In FIG. 14, the template information generation unit 122 generates three menus, an "event detailed information" menu, an "equipment detailed information" menu, and a "repair request form issue" menu, for each image indicating the monitoring information (record) of the third image. Decide to associate a context menu.

When a context menu is selected, the maintenance operation unit 140, which will be described later, uses a layout diagram LY corresponding to the selected context menu to display monitoring information corresponding to the context menu in a predetermined manner based on the context menu information 163. It is displayed on the terminal device TM depending on the display mode. Details of the context menu information 163 will be described later.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the template information 162. Based on the above-described determination, the template information generation unit 122 generates information indicating the layout diagram LY of each page, monitoring information associated with images included in the layout diagram LY, information indicating the display mode of the monitoring information, and monitoring information. Template information 162 is generated (updated) including one or more records for each user in which information indicating a context menu associated with an image indicating the image is associated with each other, and is stored in the storage unit 160. The template information 162 is an example of display information, and the template information generating section 122 is an example of a "generating section."

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the context menu information 163. The context menu information 163 includes, for example, information indicating the layout diagram LY, monitoring information associated with an image included in the layout diagram LY, information indicating a display mode of the monitoring information, and a context menu associated with the image indicating the monitoring information. This information includes records for each record.

Note that if a record of the template information 162 for the user of the terminal device TM already exists, the template generation unit 120 does not need to perform the process of generating a record of the template information 162 for the user. Specifically, the reception unit 121 receives a user ID related to a user who uses the terminal device TM. The template information generation unit 122 searches the template information 162 using the user ID received by the reception unit 121 as a search key, and determines whether a record of the template information 162 for the user exists. Further, in the above description, the template information 162 includes a record for each user, but the template information 162 is not limited to this, and the template information 162 includes a record for each user's department or job type. It may be. In this case, the template information generation unit 122 can reduce the effort required to generate records when multiple users use the same template.

[Operation flow]
FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a series of processes performed by the template generation unit 120. First, the reception unit 121 causes the communication unit 150 to acquire information regarding the user who uses the terminal device TM via the network NW (step S100). The information related to the user is, for example, the user's login information, and the login information includes, for example, a user ID and a user name. Next, the reception unit 121 searches the template information 162 using the received user ID as a search key, and determines whether there is a record associated with the user ID (step S102). When the reception unit 121 determines that there is a record associated with the user ID, the reception unit 121 ends the process without performing the process of generating the record of the template information 162.

If the reception unit 121 determines that there is no record associated with the user ID, it displays the selected images IMs1 to IMs4 on the terminal device TM (step S104). The receiving unit 121 receives an operation input by the user into the terminal device TM in response to displaying the selected images IMs1 to IMs4 on the terminal device TM, as an instruction from the user (step S106). The user's instructions include, for example, an instruction to select the layout diagram LY of each page of the website that provides monitoring information, an instruction to select the monitoring information shown as an image on the layout diagram LY, and an instruction to select the display mode of the selected monitoring information. This is an instruction to select, and an instruction to select a context menu that corresponds to an image showing monitoring information. The template information generation unit 122 generates a record of template information 162 for each user based on the information received by the reception unit 121, and generates (updates) the template information 162 (step S108).

[Monitoring information related to the content desired by the user]
Note that the template information generation unit 122 may determine other types of monitoring information other than the monitoring information selected by the user as the monitoring information to be provided to the user. For example, in the selected image IMs2 (see FIG. 12), when a record of a certain database DB is selected as monitoring information shown as an image, the template information generation unit 122 determines whether the selected image IMs2 is a record of a database DB different from the selected monitoring information. Then, records of other types of databases DB related to the selected monitoring information may be selected as the monitoring information shown as images. The template information generation unit 122 may determine other types of related monitoring information based on information indicating a predetermined related database DB, and the selection result of monitoring information shown as an image by another user. Other types of monitoring information may be determined based on the statistical values of .

Further, the template information generation unit 122 may determine the monitoring information desired by the user without using the user's selection. For example, the template information generation unit 122 may determine the monitoring information to be provided to the user based on the user's affiliation, characteristics (for example, job title), and the like. In general, uses with matching affiliations and characteristics may require similar monitoring information. Therefore, the template information generation unit 122 may generate a record of the template information 162 for each user's affiliation or feature, and determine the monitoring information to be provided to the user.

[About the correspondence processing unit 130]
FIG. 18 is a functional configuration diagram of the association processing unit 130. The association processing unit 130 performs a process of associating various types of monitoring information with the drawing data, and provides monitoring information related to the target device shown in the drawing data together with the drawing data. The correspondence processing section 130 includes a specifying section 131 , an acquisition section 132 , and a correspondence section 133 . The details of each unit included in the association processing unit 130 will be described below.

The specifying unit 131 specifies, for each drawing data stored in the equipment management information database DB2, the range representing the target equipment shown by the image. For example, when the drawing data stored in the equipment management information database DB2 is drawing data such as CAD (Computer-Aided Design), the specifying unit 131 specifies the component representing the target device. Identifying the component representing the target device is an example of identifying the position and range where the target device is shown in the drawing data. The basic information of the target device (for example, the name of the target device, the target device ID, etc.) is associated with the component. Further, when the drawing data stored in the equipment management information database DB2 is image data (hereinafter referred to as a drawing image), the specifying unit 131 specifies a range representing the target equipment. The range representing the target device includes, for example, the range of pixels that constitute the drawing symbol among the pixels that constitute the drawing image, the range of pixels that constitute the shape of the target device, the range of pixels that indicate the name of the target device, and the target. This is a range of pixels indicating the device ID, etc.

The acquisition unit 132 acquires monitoring information related to the target device indicated in the range specified by the identification unit 131 from each database DB. The acquisition unit 132 searches each database DB using the target device ID specified by the specifying unit 131 as a search key, and acquires monitoring information related to the target device shown in the drawing data. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the acquisition unit 132 acquires not the monitoring information itself, but the reference destination of the monitoring information (for example, the storage location of the monitoring information stored in the database DB) as the monitoring information.

The association unit 133 associates predetermined monitoring information among the monitoring information acquired by the acquisition unit 132 as monitoring information provided as a context menu that corresponds to the range specified by the specifying unit 131. The monitoring information of the context menu associated with the range specified by the specifying unit 131 may be selected by the user through a process similar to the above-described process, or may be predetermined. Hereinafter, a case will be described in which the association unit 133 provides predetermined monitoring information as a context menu of drawing data regardless of the user's selection. The predetermined monitoring information is, for example, among the monitoring information acquired by the acquisition unit 132, "system diagram data," "wire diagram data," "wiring diagram data," and "image data." If the record of the template information 162 includes "system diagram data," "wire diagram data," "wiring diagram data," etc. as monitoring information, the template information generation unit 122 generates the monitoring information that has been associated by the association unit 133. A record is generated by associating information (in this case, "system diagram data," "wire diagram data," "wiring diagram data," and "image data") as a context menu.

[Operation flow]
FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a series of operations of the association processing unit 130. First, the specifying unit 131 specifies, for each drawing data stored in the equipment management information database DB2, a range representing the target equipment indicated by the image (step S200). The acquisition unit 132 specifies the target device ID represented in the range specified by the specifying unit 131 (step S202). The acquisition unit 132 searches each database DB using the specified target device ID as a search key, and acquires monitoring information related to the target device represented in the range specified by the specifying unit 131 (step S204). The association unit 133 associates predetermined monitoring information among the monitoring information acquired by the acquisition unit 132 as monitoring information provided as a context menu that corresponds to the range specified by the specifying unit 131 (step S206).

[About the maintenance operation department 140]
FIG. 20 is a functional configuration diagram of the maintenance operation section 140. The maintenance operation unit 140 causes the terminal device TM to display monitoring information desired by the user in a display mode desired by the user, based on the template generation unit 120 generated by the template generation unit 120. The maintenance operation unit 140 includes, for example, an acquisition unit 141, an image generation unit 142, a display control unit 152, a reception unit 143, an update unit 145, and a determination unit 144. The details of each unit included in the maintenance operation section 140 will be described below.

The acquisition unit 141 identifies a record corresponding to the user using the terminal device TM based on the template information 162, and acquires monitoring information included in the identified record from each database DB. For example, in response to acquiring information indicating that the user has started using the information providing system 1 (for example, login information), the acquisition unit 141 starts acquiring monitoring information corresponding to the user.

The image generation unit 142 generates information for displaying an image of the content desired by the user on the terminal device TM, based on the monitoring information acquired by the acquisition unit 141. The display control unit 152 causes the terminal device TM to display an image based on the information generated by the image generation unit 142. Further, the display control unit 152 causes the terminal device TM to display various images in response to user instructions received via the terminal device TM by the reception unit 143, which will be described later. Further, when the updating unit 145 (described later) determines that there is an abnormality in the power generation plant, the display control unit 152 causes the terminal device TM to display an image desired by the user in response to the abnormality.

For example.

In the former case, the image generation unit 142 does not generate an image, and the acquisition unit 141 uses the reference destination of the monitoring information (for example, the storage location of the monitoring information stored in the database DB) as the monitoring information, not the monitoring information itself. The display control unit 152 provides the information generated by the image generation unit 142 (in this case, the configuration information of the web page) to the terminal device TM. In the latter case, the image generation unit 142 generates an image, the acquisition unit 141 acquires the monitoring information itself from the database DB, and the display control unit 152 transmits the image generated by the image generation unit 142 to the terminal device TM. provide.

Hereinafter, the acquisition unit 141 acquires the reference destination of the monitoring information instead of the monitoring information itself, and the image generation unit 142 displays the monitoring information in the layout diagram LY based on the template information 162 without generating an image. The display control unit 152 generates configuration information of a web page that provides monitoring information by determining the position of the images and associating each image of the layout diagram LY with the monitoring information. A case in which the received information is provided to the terminal device TM (that is, the former case) will be explained.

The accepting unit 143 accepts an operation input by the user to the terminal device TM in response to an image being displayed on the terminal device TM based on the information generated by the image generating unit 142.

The determining unit 144 determines whether the abnormality detection device 300 detects an abnormality in the power plant.

The update unit 145 updates information in each database DB based on the operation accepted by the reception unit 143.
