Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the monitoring screen creating device 1 according to the first embodiment. 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 equipment via a telephone line or an internet line. The monitoring equipment is, for example, equipment installed in a building or a factory. In the following, the equipment to be monitored, that is, the monitoring equipment is also referred to as an object. The monitoring data includes, for example, data indicating an operating status and data indicating an operation history. The operating status of the monitoring equipment installed in the building or factory is displayed in real time on the monitoring screen of the monitoring screen display device. The monitoring screen display device controls the settings of the monitoring equipment according to the acquired monitoring data.

In the monitoring screen display device, a monitoring screen including graphics, graphs, event history, and the like is prepared in advance. In the following, a symbol representing a component, an image, a background component, a background image, a graph, a numerical value, or the like displayed on a monitoring screen is referred to as a symbol. Symbols include equipment symbols, numerical symbols, graph symbols, form symbols, and the like. The equipment symbol is a symbol that represents the monitoring equipment in an illustration. The numerical symbol is a symbol representing a temperature, a power value, or the like. The form symbol is a symbol used for the management of monitoring equipment.

The monitoring screen displayed on the monitoring screen display device may include a floor map. The floor map shows the operating status of the monitoring equipment installed on each floor. For example, if the building A has 10 floors, the monitoring screen for the building A includes a floor map on the 1st floor, a floor map on the 2nd floor, ..., a floor map on the 9th floor, and a floor map on the 10th floor. Is done. The floor map on the first floor displays the operating status of each monitoring facility installed on the first floor. The floor map on the second floor displays the operating status of each monitoring facility installed on the second floor. Similarly, the floor map on the 10th floor displays the operating status of each monitoring facility installed on the 10th floor.

When the elevator car provided in the building A stops on each floor, a symbol indicating the elevator is placed on the floor map of each floor. On the other hand, if the elevator car provided in the building A does not stop on a part of the floor, the symbol indicating the elevator is not arranged on the floor map of the floor. Further, when a plurality of entrances and exits are formed in the elevator car, doors to be opened and closed are specified for each floor diagram. With the monitoring screen creating device 1 shown in the present embodiment, it is possible to efficiently and easily create a monitoring screen including such a floor diagram.

Hereinafter, the functions of the monitoring screen creation device 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8. 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. Further, 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 part indicated by reference numerals 11 to 21 indicates a function possessed by the monitoring screen creating device 1.

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

A program for realizing the function of the monitoring screen creation device 1 is stored in the memory 32. The monitoring screen creation device 1 realizes the functions of the respective parts indicated by reference numerals 16 to 21 by executing the program stored in the memory 32 by the processor 31. Data for realizing the function of the monitoring screen creation device 1 is stored in the memory 33. The functions of the storage units shown by reference numerals 11 to 15 are realized by the memory 33.

The processor 31 is also referred to as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a central processing unit, an arithmetic unit, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, or a DSP. As the memory 32 or the memory 33, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, a flexible disk, an optical disk, a compact disk, a mini disk, or a DVD may be adopted. The semiconductor memory that can be adopted as the memory 32 or the memory 33 includes RAM, ROM, flash memory, EPROM, EEPROM, and the like.

The processing circuit 30 may further include dedicated hardware (not shown). That is, some 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. As the dedicated hardware, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof may be adopted.

The monitoring screen creation device 1 is connected to an external device via the input / output interface 34. The external device includes a display device 2 and an input device 3. For example, the display device 2 is a display 2a for a PC. The display device 2 may be a tablet display or a display built in the monitoring panel. 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 / receives data to / from the monitoring equipment 4 via the network interface 35.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the monitoring screen creation device 1 according to the first embodiment. The screen display unit 16 displays the creation screen on the display device 2 based on the data from the screen editing unit 18. The user operates the input device 3 to create a monitoring screen while looking at the creation screen displayed on the display device 2.

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

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

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

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of data stored in the data storage unit 11. Data related to the symbol is stored in the data storage unit 11. For example, the symbol data with logic and the static symbol data are stored in the data storage unit 11. The symbol data with logic is data to which behavior is given to a dynamic symbol that changes according to the content of the monitoring signal. Static symbol data is data indicating an immutable symbol. Symbols created in advance or symbols newly created during development are stored in the data storage unit 11.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the data stored in the data storage unit 11 includes the symbol material 40, the behavior definition 41, and the correspondence table 42. The symbol material 40 is a material used as a symbol. FIG. 4 shows an example in which a symbol required for a monitoring screen of a building equipped with an elevator is stored in the data storage unit 11 as a symbol material 40. 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 monitoring signal. The behavior definition 41 is pre-created by the user, for example, by a script. FIG. 4 shows, as an example, the details of the 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 in a large size if the monitoring signal indicating the open / closed state of the elevator door is 0. The behavior definition 41 defines that if the monitoring signal is 1, the door of the elevator symbol is displayed small.

The correspondence table 42 is an example of symbol display data that defines a symbol type (type) and a symbol display format. According to the correspondence table 42, the symbol material 40 and the behavior definition 41 are associated with each other. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the correspondence table 42 includes, as items, a symbol type, a width, a height, a behavior definition name, and a 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 placed on the creation screen. The symbol representing the building and the symbol representing the bank are unchanged regardless of the content of the monitoring signal. Therefore, the behavior definition name corresponding to the symbol type “building” is not registered in the correspondence table 42. Similarly, the behavior definition name corresponding to the symbol type "bank" is not registered in the correspondence table 42.

When 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 determines S102 based on the symbol hierarchy data stored in the data storage unit 12.

5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining the data stored in the data storage unit 15. Data related to the object is stored in the data storage unit 15. For example, data indicating the hierarchy of objects is stored in the data storage unit 15. Invariant data is accumulated in the data storage unit 15 regardless of the operating 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 showing 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. As a successor to the Ele class, there are the EleA class and the EleB class. The Building class manages data about the building. The Bank class manages data about banks. The Es class manages data about the escalator. 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 the details of the object. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the correspondence between the object name and the class name is represented by a colon. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the object hierarchy has three stages. The object hierarchy may be in multiple stages.

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

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the object having the object name "Billing1" is one higher than the object having the object name "Bank1", the object having the object name "Bank2", and the object having the object name "Es1". The object having the object name "Bank1" is one higher than the object having the object name "Ele1" and the object having the object name "Ele2". The object having the object name "Bank2" is one higher than the object having the object name "Ele3" and the object having the object name "Ele4".

In the present embodiment, for example, when the object B is an object one level higher than the object C, the object B is also referred to as a parent object of the object C. Similarly, when the object C is an object one level lower than the object B, the object C is also referred to as a child object of the 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 the data stored in the data storage unit 15. Table 1 is an example of object hierarchy data that defines an object type (type) and a higher-level object for each object. Table 1 includes the object name, object type, and parent object name as items. In Table 1, the class name is shown as the object type.

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

As shown in Table 2, the function of the allocation unit 20 allows the object, which is the monitoring equipment, to be associated with the symbol arranged on the creation screen. As shown in Table 1, by assigning the symbol type not in the object unit but in the object type unit, the labor saving can be achieved.

Table 3 is an example of the data generated by the parent-child relationship generation unit 21. Table 3 is an example of symbol hierarchy data that defines the corresponding object, symbol type (type), and subordinate symbols for each symbol. 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 makes the above definition based on the data stored in the data storage unit 11, the data including the object hierarchy data stored in the data storage 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 a symbol for each object name stored in the data storage unit 15. Table 3 includes symbol IDs, symbol types, object names, watch signals, and child symbol IDs as items. The symbol is uniquely represented by the symbol ID. The monitoring data from the monitoring equipment is uniquely represented by the monitoring signal.

Table 3 shows an example in which serial numbers are generated based on the parent-child relationship of symbols for monitoring signals. This is because the structure of the monitoring data represented by the monitoring signal is often similar to the hierarchical structure of the object. This makes it possible to improve the visibility of the monitoring signal. Further, Table 3 shows an example in which the child symbol ID is set for each symbol. Table 3 shows an example in which the child symbol ID is set according to the order of the objects shown in Table 1, but the child symbol ID may be set in another order.

In the example shown in Table 3, the child symbols IDs “S001”, “S004”, and “S007” are registered for the symbol of 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, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates a child symbol registered for the symbol (S103). The generation processing unit 19 automatically generates S103 based on the data stored in the data storage unit 13 and the data stored in the data storage unit 14.

Table 4 shows an example of the data stored in the data storage unit 14. Data related to the elevator is stored in the data storage unit 14. Table 4 shows an example of elevator data that defines the settings for each floor for each elevator. Table 4 includes object names, stop floors, and open / close doors as items.

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

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

For example, the stop floor "111110000" means that the car stops from the 1st floor to the 5th floor because the first to fifth numbers from the left are 1. Further, since the numbers from the 6th to the 10th from the left are 0, it means that the car does not stop from the 6th floor to the 10th floor.

In the example shown in Table 4, the number of doors that open and close in the item "opening and closing door" is expressed numerically. That is, the number on the far left 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 opening / closing door "1111122222" means that one door opens / closes from the first floor to the fifth floor because the number from the first to the fifth from the left is 1. Further, since the number from the 6th to the 10th from the left is 2, it means that two doors open and close from the 6th floor to the 10th floor.

Table 5 shows an example of the data stored in the data storage unit 13. The data storage unit 13 stores data related to rules for arranging symbols in the creation screen. This rule includes 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 symbol types, placement directions, and line feed criteria as items. Table 5 shows an example in which two types of symbol types, "bank 1" and "bank 2", are defined for the types of bank symbols. The arrangement direction indicates the direction in which the child symbols are arranged side by side. The line feed criterion indicates the number of child symbols contained in one column if the arrangement direction is vertical. The line feed criterion indicates the number of child symbols contained in one line if the arrangement direction is horizontal.

Table 5 shows an example of the placement rule. For example, the placement rule may include alignment criteria indicating left-justified or right-justified, spacing between symbols, margins with the parent symbol, and the like.

In S103, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates child symbols based on the floor information input from the input device 3. For example, if the user wants to create a floor map of the first floor, the user inputs the floor information "first floor" from the input device 3. If the user wants to create a floor map on the 10th floor, he / she inputs the floor information "10th floor" from the input device 3. Below, as an example, the operation when the building symbol 50 having the object name “Billing1” is arranged on the creation screen in S101 will be described in detail.

7 and 8 are diagrams showing an example of a creation screen displayed on the display device 2. FIG. 7 shows a floor view of the first floor. FIG. 8 shows a floor view of the 10th floor.

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

For example, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the bank symbol 51, the bank symbol 52, and the escalator symbol 53 in the display area of the building symbol 50 according to the arrangement rule accumulated in the data storage unit 13. As shown in Table 5, the arrangement rule of the symbol type "building" is "horizontal" in the arrangement direction and "2 symbols" in 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. Further, the generation processing unit 19 rearranges the line for the escalator symbol 53, which is the third child symbol. 7 and 8 show an example in which the generation processing unit 19 arranges three symbols in the order of registration of child symbol IDs.

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

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

For example, the generation processing unit 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 stored in the data storage unit 13. As shown in Table 5, the placement rule of the symbol type "bank 1" has a placement direction of "horizontal" and a line feed reference of "2 symbols". 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.

Further, 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 stored in the data storage 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, the elevator symbol 54 is a stop floor on both the 1st and 10th floors. Therefore, the elevator symbol 54 is displayed on both the floor map on the first floor and the floor map on the tenth floor.

Similarly, the generation processing unit 19 determines whether or not to display the elevator symbol 55 on the creation screen. As shown in Table 4, regarding the elevator symbol 55, the first floor is a stop floor, but the tenth floor is not a stop floor. Therefore, the elevator symbol 55 is displayed on the floor map on the first floor, but the elevator symbol 55 is not displayed on the floor map on the tenth floor.

Further, 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, with respect to the elevator symbol 54, the number of doors that open and close on both the 1st and 10th floors is 1. Therefore, the elevator symbol 54 including one door is displayed on both the floor map on the first floor and the floor map on the tenth floor.

Similarly for the elevator symbol 55, the generation processing unit 19 determines the number of doors included in the elevator symbol 55. As shown in Table 4, the number of doors that open and close on the first floor is 2 for the elevator symbol 55. Therefore, in the floor map on the first floor, the elevator symbol 55 including the 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, the child symbol IDs “S005” and “S006” are registered in the symbol ID “S004”. Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates the elevator symbol 56 having the object name “Ele3” and the elevator symbol 57 having the object name “Ele4”.

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

Further, as shown in Table 4, the elevator symbol 56 is a stop floor on both the 1st and 10th floors. Therefore, the elevator symbol 56 is displayed on both the floor map on the first floor and the floor map on the tenth floor. Similarly, the elevator symbol 57 is displayed on both the floor map on the first floor and the floor map on the tenth floor.

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

As shown in Table 3, no child symbol ID is registered in the 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 No is determined in S102, it is determined whether or not there is another symbol to be arranged (S104). If Yes is determined in S104, the above procedure is repeated. If No is determined in S104, the series of processes ends.

In the example shown in this embodiment, the monitoring screen can be efficiently created even when the monitoring screen includes a symbol representing an elevator. In the example shown in this embodiment, elevator data may be acquired online in real time, and the acquired elevator data may be stored in the data storage unit 14. Elevator data may be acquired in advance and stored in the data storage unit 14, and the symbol may be automatically generated offline.

The present invention can be applied to an apparatus for creating a monitoring screen for monitoring monitoring equipment.
