The management server 120 also includes a user interface 121 in the server itself, or through the user interface 121 of the remotely accessed user terminal 140, the management server 120 or the equipment terminal 110 can be processed by the user. functions can be performed. Here, the user interface is a device that provides input and output to the user, and may include an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch screen, or an output device such as a display or speaker.

The facility terminal 110 and the management server 120 may process a facility information change function, an agent patch update function, and a backup file search function through a user interface.

As shown in FIG. 3, the equipment terminal 110 includes functions of backup 112, restoration 113, equipment information change 114, and patch update 115, and includes a backup file search function or service restart function. can do. Corresponding functions are provided through the user interface 111, as shown in FIG. 4, and when an operator selects a specific function, the selected function can be performed. Facility workers can perform backup periodically through the backup function. When backing up, a backup file search function may be provided so that the location of the backup file can be easily searched as well as simply performing the backup. When restoring, you can have backups done folder by folder instead of all. The recovery 113 function can be implemented as a recovery selection button on the user interface 111, through which a worker can easily perform recovery. At this time, if the backup file is stored in the management server 120, recovery is possible only when the network is connected. In addition, recovery is possible through a bootable USB, and when the network is not connected, an operator can move the backup file stored in the management server 120 through a removable storage medium and recover.

As shown in FIG. 5, the management server 120 includes functions of backup 122, recovery 123, backup file search 124, and automatic patch distribution 125, and a facility information change function, a patch update function, or It may include a service restart function and the like. Corresponding functions are provided through the user interface 121 as shown in FIG. 6 , and when an operator selects a specific function, the selected function can be performed. The manager may periodically perform a backup of the facility terminal 110 through the backup function of the management server 120 . When backing up, a backup file search function may be provided so that the location of the backup file can be easily searched as well as simply performing the backup. When restoring, you can have backups done folder by folder instead of all. The recovery 123 function may be performed through a recovery selection button on the user interface 121 when remotely accessing the management server 120 .

The facility terminal 110 or the management server 120 may process a facility information change function through a user interface. In addition to backing up and restoring the equipment terminal, functions such as changing equipment information necessary for controlling the equipment may be additionally included.

In addition, the equipment terminal 110 or the management server 120 may process an agent patch update function through a user interface. The operating system of the equipment terminal 110 includes an agent and may be operated through the agent.
