Description

情報表示方法及びサービス提供サーバInformation display method and service providing server
 本発明は、測定者が管理する温度計などの測定機器の出力に基づく測定値情報を、インターネットなどの公衆回線に接続されたサービス提供サーバに蓄積し、このサービス提供サーバに蓄積した測定値情報に基づき当該測定機器による測定結果を示す測定結果情報を、同じく公衆回線に接続された閲覧者の端末機器において表示する情報表示方法、並びに、当該情報表示方法に係る情報表示サービスを提供するためのサービス提供サーバに関するものである。 The present invention stores measurement value information based on the output of a measuring device such as a thermometer managed by a measurer in a service providing server connected to a public line such as the Internet, and the measurement value information stored in the service providing server. Information display method for displaying the measurement result information indicating the measurement result by the measurement device on the basis of the information on the terminal device of the browser connected to the public line, and the information display service according to the information display method It relates to a service providing server.
 従来、温度、湿度などの種々の測定対象の状態を測定し、記録することが様々な分野で行われている。
 例えば、工業製品の製造や運送の過程における温度、湿度などの物理量を測定し、記録することによって、それぞれの過程を管理することが行われており、そのためにデータロガーシステムと呼ばれる計測システムがある(例えば、特許文献1)。
 データロガーシステムでは、一般に、測定機器である温度センサなどのセンサが内蔵又は接続された端末装置(ログ端末)に、測定値情報(測定データ)が記録される。又、複数のログ端末からの測定値情報を親機に収集し、記録することも行われる。更に、一旦測定値情報を収集し、記録したログ端末や親機から、コンピュータなどのホスト装置に転送して蓄積することも行われる。
 しかし、上記データロガーシステムなどの、測定値情報を蓄積し、処理し、確認するための従来のシステムでは、ログ端末や親機がデータロガーシステムのための専用のものであり、又、一般には、ログ端末と親機、或いはログ端末(又は親機)とホスト装置とを接続する通信回線には、専用の有線又は無線回線が用いられる。従って、従来、簡易、低コストに、例えば、複数の箇所の測定対象の温度、湿度などの物理量の測定値情報を遠隔の装置に蓄積して、処理し、確認するシステムを構築することは困難であった。
 又、測定値情報をホスト装置に送るための通信回線として、公衆回線電話網やインターネットを用いるシステムも提案されているが(特許文献2)、従来のシステムでは、測定値情報は、測定者の管理する閉鎖された系においてのみ利用されるものであり、通常、測定値情報の管理、処理、或いは処理結果の出力は、測定者がホスト装置において専用のソフトウェアを用いて行う。そのため、ホスト装置における測定値情報の保守、管理、更には測定値情報を記録する記録媒体などのホスト装置自体の保守、管理にも手間やコストがかかる。従って、例えば、工業製品の製造業者や運送業者といった専門的な人材や相当の資金を準備できる比較的大規模な企業などではない、小・中規模の製造業やサービス業の事業者や一般家庭の使用者にとっては、測定自体をあきらめざるを得ない場合があった。
 更に、ホスト装置に蓄積され、処理された測定結果情報を、測定者の管理する閉鎖された系外の一般に対して公開するためには、ホスト装置に蓄積され、処理された測定結果情報をインターネットなどの公衆回線に接続されたサーバに当該情報を格納する作業を、測定結果情報をホスト装置に蓄積し、処理する作業とは別個に行わなければならない。そして、一般に公開するために最新の測定結果情報などを、逐次に更新することは、非常に煩雑であり、事実上困難である。
Conventionally, measuring and recording the state of various measuring objects such as temperature and humidity has been performed in various fields.
For example, each process is managed by measuring and recording physical quantities such as temperature and humidity in the process of manufacturing and transporting industrial products. For this purpose, there is a measurement system called a data logger system. (For example, patent document 1).
In a data logger system, generally, measurement value information (measurement data) is recorded in a terminal device (log terminal) in which a sensor such as a temperature sensor that is a measurement device is incorporated or connected. In addition, measurement value information from a plurality of log terminals is collected and recorded in the master unit. Furthermore, once the measurement value information is collected, it is transferred from the recorded log terminal or master unit to a host device such as a computer and stored.
However, in the conventional system for accumulating, processing, and confirming the measured value information such as the above data logger system, the log terminal and the master unit are dedicated for the data logger system, and in general, A dedicated wired or wireless line is used as a communication line for connecting the log terminal and the master unit or the log terminal (or master unit) and the host device. Therefore, conventionally, it is difficult to construct a system for storing, processing, and confirming measured value information of physical quantities such as temperature and humidity of a plurality of locations in a remote device, for example, at a low cost, simply and at low cost. Met.
In addition, a system using a public telephone network or the Internet as a communication line for sending measurement value information to a host device has been proposed (Patent Document 2), but in a conventional system, measurement value information is measured by a measurer. It is used only in a closed system to be managed. Usually, measurement value information is managed, processed, or output of the processing result is performed by the measurer using dedicated software in the host device. For this reason, maintenance and management of measurement value information in the host device, as well as maintenance and management of the host device itself such as a recording medium for recording the measurement value information, takes time and cost. Therefore, for example, it is not a specialized human resource such as an industrial product manufacturer or transporter, or a relatively large company that can prepare a considerable amount of money, but a small or medium-sized manufacturing or service business operator or a general household. In some cases, the user had to give up the measurement itself.
Furthermore, in order to disclose the measurement result information stored and processed in the host device to the general public outside the closed system managed by the measurer, the measurement result information stored and processed in the host device is transmitted to the Internet. The work of storing the information in a server connected to a public line such as the above must be performed separately from the work of storing and processing the measurement result information in the host device. And it is very complicated and practically difficult to update the latest measurement result information and the like sequentially for public release.

 変換器102は、測定機器101が接続され、測定機器101の出力を所定の通信プロトコルによって公衆回線Nを通じて通信できるように変換する。特に、本実施例では、変換器102としては、シリアルデバイスとされる測定機器101の出力を、インターネットを通じて通信可能な所定のプロトコルであるTCP/IPによって変換するLANコンバータ(シリアルサーバー)を用いる。この変換器102は、LAN経由(イーサネット接続)で、ルーター103により公衆回線Nに常時接続される。そして、変換器103は、所定の間隔で定期的に測定機器101の出力を読み込み、公衆回線Nを通じて通信可能な測定値情報に変換し、これを一旦記憶するなどした後、所定の間隔で定期的に公衆回線Nを通じて送信する。変換器102は、LANケーブルによって、ルーター103に接続される。又、ルーター103には、測定者のPC104が接続されていてよく、これによって測定者のPC104が公衆回線Nに接続されると共に、測定者のPC104からLAN経由で変換器102にアクセスし、測定機器101の出力を読み込む間隔、測定値情報を送信する間隔の設定を含む、各種の設定を行うことができる。又、PC104において、ウェブブラウザプログラムなどによって、LAN経由で変換器102から直接測定値情報を読み込み、例えば所定の書式、表示形式によって最新の測定値情報に基づく測定結果情報(例えば、測定温度値(℃))を表示するようにしてもよい。
 尚、変換器102と測定者のPC104とは、LAN接続されていてもよいが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、測定機器101及び変換器102の設置場所と測定者のPC104とが離れている場合には、変換器102と測定者のPC104とがそれぞれ別個にルーター103などの接続機器を介して公衆回線Nに接続されていてよい。
 又、本実施例では、理解を容易とするために、測定者システム100において測定者が管理する測定機器101、測定機器101の有する端子112、変換器102は、それぞれ1個であるものとして説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。測定者システム100において、測定者が、複数の測定機器101を1個の変換器102に接続して使用したり、それぞれ単数又は複数の測定機器101を接続した複数の変換器102を使用したり、更には各測定機器101が複数の端子112を有していたりしてよい。
 測定者は、PC104によって公衆回線Nを通じてサービス提供システム200にアクセスして、サービス提供者のサービスの提供を受けることができる。PC104の他、例えば、携帯電話105などの携帯情報端末によって公衆回線Nを通じてサービス提供システム200にアクセスして、サービス提供サーバ201に蓄積した測定値情報に基づく測定結果情報の閲覧などのサービスの提供を受けることができる。
 次に、サービス提供者システム200は、公衆回線Nに接続された、ウェブサーバであるサービス提供サーバ201を有する。サービス提供サーバ201は、本発明に従う情報表示サービスを実行するようにプログラムされている。サービス提供サーバ201は、公衆回線Nを通じて測定者システム100から送信されてくる測定値情報を蓄積する機能、蓄積した測定値情報に基づく測定結果情報を、測定者が利用可能なように公衆回線Nを通じて測定者システム100に送信する機能、そして蓄積した測定値情報に基づいて測定者が公衆回線Nを通じて一般に公開しようとする測定結果情報を公開可能とする機能などを有する。
 次に、閲覧者システム300は、公衆回線Nに接続された閲覧者の端末機器(本実施例ではパーソナルコンピュータ(PC))301を有する。閲覧者は、公衆回線Nを通じて、測定者が公開するウェブページ(ホームページ、ブログ)にアクセスしてこれを閲覧できるものである。典型的には、閲覧者は、測定者及びサービス提供者以外の第三者である。但し、容易に理解されるように、測定者自身、或いはサービス提供者自身が、当該ウェブページにアクセスして閲覧することも可能であり、この場合は測定者又はサービス提供者と、閲覧者とが同一の者となる。
 図2をも参照して更に詳しく説明すると、先ず、測定者システム100において、温度計とされる測定機器101の本体111には、測定対象である温泉の湯Hに接触するように配置されたセンサ部(端子)112が接続されている。測定機器101が接続されるLANコンバータ(シリアルサーバ)とされる変換器102は、その動作を制御する制御手段としてのCPU(中央演算処理装置)121と、記憶手段としてのメモリ(フラッシュメモリ、EEPROMなど)122と、測定機器101が接続されるシリアルインターフェース123と、図2には示していないルーター103(図1参照)などの接続機器を介して変換器102を公衆回線Nに接続するためのネットワークインターフェース124と、を有する。CPU121は、メモリ122に格納されたファームウェアに従って、所定の間隔で定期的に測定機器101の出力を読み込み、所定の間隔で定期的に公衆回線Nを通じて測定値情報を送信するように設定される。CPU121は、測定機器101の出力を変換前又は変換後に一旦メモリ122に記憶させるように設定されてよい。例えば、変換器102は、1分毎に測定機器101の出力を読み込んで、3分毎に測定値情報を公衆回線Nを通じて送信するように設定することができる。本実施例では、httpプロトコルを使ったPOSTメソッドで測定値情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送る。変換器102は、公衆回線Nに接続されると自動的にサービス提供サーバ201にアクセスして測定値情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送信できるように、サービス提供者などがこれを測定者に提供する際に、ファームウェアによって予めプログラムされていることが好適である。但し、測定者が、例えば、変換器102の操作部(図示せず)或いはLAN経由でPC104から設定するようになっていてもよい。上記出力を読み込む時間間隔や測定値情報を送信する時間間隔は、例えば、変換器102の操作部(図示せず)或いはLAN経由でPC104から変更し設定することが可能である。
 次に、測定者システム100のPC104としては、一般的な構成のパーソナルコンピュータを用いることができる。即ち、PC104は、概略、プログラムを実行する制御手段としてのCPU141、プログラムや各種データを格納する記憶手段としてのハードディスク142、プログラムを実行する際の作業領域として用いられる作業用の記憶手段としてのメモリ143、操作者がデータの入力などに用いる操作キーボードやマウスなどの入力手段たる操作部144、CPU141の処理結果を画面表示するための表示手段たるディスプレイ145、PC104を公衆回線Nに接続するためのネットワークインターフェース146などを有する。ハードディスク142には、ウェブページを閲覧するためのアプリケーションプログラムであるウェブブラウザプログラム(以下、単に「ブラウザ」という。)が格納されている。操作者は、PC104においてブラウザを実行して、公衆回線Nを通じてウェブサイトにアクセスして閲覧することができる。
 次に、サービス提供者システム200のサービス提供サーバ201としては、一般的な構成のウェブサーバとして用いられるサーバコンピュータを用いることができる。即ち、サービス提供サーバ201は、概略、プログラムを実行してサービス提供サーバ201の全体を制御する制御手段としてのCPU211、プログラムや各種データを格納する記憶手段としてのハードディスク212、プログラムを実行する際の作業領域として用いられる作業用の記憶手段としてのメモリ213、サービス提供サーバ201を公衆回線Nに接続するためのネットワークインターフェース214などを有する。ハードディスク212には、CPU211によって読み出されて実行される、各種プログラムや各種データが格納されている。特に、ハードディスク212には、サービス提供サーバ201の提供するサービスを構成するウェブページや各種処理プログラムを含むウェブコンテンツデータを記憶する領域、サービス提供サーバ201の提供するサービスを受けるべく登録された個々のユーザー(測定者)に関するユーザー登録情報を記憶する領域(ユーザー登録データベース)、ユーザー毎の測定値情報を記憶する領域(測定値データベース)、ユーザー毎の各種設定値を記憶する領域(設定値データベース)が設けられている。
 次に、閲覧者システム300のPC301は、一般的な構成のパーソナルコンピュータであってよい。即ち、測定者のPC104と同様、PC301は、概略、CPU311、ハードディスク312、メモリ313、操作部314、ディスプレイ315、ネットワークインターフェース316などを有する。ハードディスク312には、ウェブページを閲覧するためのブラウザが格納されている。操作者は、PC301においてブラウザを実行して、公衆回線Nを通じてウェブサイトにアクセスして閲覧することができる。
 次に、測定者が公衆回線Nを通じて測定結果情報を一般に公開するために開設するウェブページを格納している、ウェブサーバとされる情報公開サーバ401は、一般的な構成のウェブサーバとして用いられるサーバコンピュータであってよい。即ち、上記サービス提供サーバ201と同様、情報公開サーバ401は、概略、CPU411、ハードディスク412、メモリ413、ネットワークインターフェース414などを有する。ハードディスク412には、CPU411によって読み出されて実行される、各種プログラムや各種データが格納されている。例えば、ハードディスク412には、登録された個々の利用者に関する利用者登録情報を記憶する領域や、利用者毎の開設するウェブページデータなどのウェブコンテンツデータを記憶する領域が設けられている。
 2.サービス提供サーバの処理
 (1)測定機器設定
 先ず、測定者は、サービス提供者の提供する情報表示サービスを受ける前提として、測定者のPC104からサービス提供サーバ201にアクセスして、予めユーザー登録を行い、サービス提供サーバ201が指定するログインIDを取得し、パスワードを設定しておく。
 次に、測定者は、サービス提供サーバ201に測定値情報を蓄積するために、サービス提供サーバ201に対して測定機器101、変換器102などの設定を行う。図3は、当該設定の処理の一例を示すシーケンス図である。
 測定者がPC104のブラウザによってサービス提供サーバ201のホームページにアクセスし、ブラウザによってディスプレイ145に表示されたログイン画面の所定の入力欄にログインID、パスワードを入力して、送信の指示を行うと、ブラウザはログインID、パスワードをサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S(ステップ)101)。
 サービス提供サーバ201は、受信したログインID、パスワードがハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(ユーザー登録データベース)に既に登録されたユーザーのものであるかの確認を行う(S102)。登録されたユーザーのものである場合は、サービス提供サーバ201は、各種設定メニュー及び提供サービスメニューを表示するメニュー画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S103)。
 測定者がブラウザによって表示されたメニュー画面中の測定機器設定画面への移行を指示する表示を押下すると、ブラウザは測定機器設定画面の表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S104)。サービス提供サーバ201は、測定機器設定画面の表示要求を受信すると、測定機器設定画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S105)。
 測定者が、ブラウザによって表示された測定機器設定画面中の測定機器101の種類、変換器102の種類、変換器102の個体識別情報の入力欄に、必要な情報を入力して、「保存(或いは登録)」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザは入力された情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S106)。本実施例では、測定機器101の種類、変換器102の種類として、利用可能な複数種類の測定機器101、変換器102が予めサービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212の所定の記憶領域に記憶されており、測定機器設定画面では、ブラウザによって表示されるプルダウンメニューから選択するようになっている。又、変換器102の個体識別情報としては、変換器102に予め指定されている(変換器103の本体や仕様書に表示されている)MACidを入力するようになっている。又、この時、変換器設定画面において、変換器102に適当な名称を付したり、変換器102の品番を入力したりする欄を設けてもよい。
 サービス提供サーバ201は、受信した設定内容を確認し、問題がなければ設定内容をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(ユーザー(ログインID)毎に設けられた設定値情報を記憶する設定値データベース)に登録する(S107)。
 次に、サービス提供サーバ201は、サービス提供サーバ201に、測定機器101に接続された端子112の設定を行う端子設定画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S108)。
 測定者がブラウザによって表示された端子設定画面中の端子の名称の入力欄に適当な名称(以下、本実施例では「端子1」とする。)を入力して、「保存(或いは登録)」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザは入力された情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S109)。本実施例では、それぞれ1個の測定機器101、端子112、変換器102を用いるものとして説明するが、測定機器101の種類によって複数の端子112を接続可能であるものについては、上述の端子設定画面中の端子の名称は、利用可能な端子112の数に応じた数だけ設定できるようにする。利用可能な測定機器101の種類が予めサービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212の所定の記憶領域に記憶されている場合には、それぞれの測定機器において利用可能な端子112の数を併せて記憶しておき、端子設定画面中に利用可能な端子112の数に応じた入力欄を設けるようにすることができる。ブラウザ上の端子設定画面から、端子の追加をサービス提供サーバ201に指示することによって、入力欄が増加された端子設定画面がサービス提供サーバ201から送信されるようにしてもよい。サービス提供サーバ201は、受信した設定内容を確認し、問題がなければ設定内容をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(設定値データベース)に登録する(S110)。
 以上の処理により、サービス提供サーバ201に対して測定機器101、端子112、変換器102などの設定が終了する。そして、既に測定機器101の出力を定期的に読み込んでいる変換器102が公衆回線Nを通じてサービス提供サーバ201に接続されていれば、次に変換器102がサービス提供サーバ201に測定値情報を送信するタイミングから、サービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212内の所定の領域(ユーザー(ログインID)毎に設けられた測定値情報を記憶する測定値データベース)に、測定値情報が定期的に記録され、経時的に蓄積されていく。測定値情報は、上述のようにして設定した端子(端子112の名称)毎に関係付けられてサービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212内の測定値データベースに記録されていく。
 (2)チャート設定
 次に、サービス提供サーバ201が提供する、チャート(表及び/又はグラフ)の作成処理について説明する。図4は、当該処理の一例を示すシーケンス図である。
 先ず、図3のS101~S103と同様のS201~S203の処理によって、PC104のブラウザ上にメニュー画面が表示される。
 そして、測定者がブラウザによって表示されたメニュー画面中のチャート作成設定画面への移行を指示する表示を押下すると、ブラウザはチャート作成設定画面の表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S204)。サービス提供サーバ201は、チャート作成設定画面の表示要求を受信すると、チャート作成設定画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S205)。
 例えば、図10に示すように、ブラウザによって表示されたチャート作成設定画面は、チャートに反映させる測定値情報のソースを選択するための登録されている端子112の一覧(端子名の一覧)(図示せず)、グラフの種類の選択欄、チャートのプロット間の時間間隔(15分、時、日、月など)の選択欄、測定値情報の生データの前処理(指定されたプロット間の期間における、平均化処理、最大値・最小値選択処理、いずれかの生データ(例えば期間の最初又は最後の生データ)をそのまま使用することなど)の選択欄、チャートの形式(表、グラフ、又はグラフと表など)の選択欄、チャートの書式(タイトル、X軸・Y軸のタイトル、凡例、文字のフォント・サイズ・色、背景色など)の選択欄などを含んでいる。測定者が、チャート作成設定画面中の上記各種入力欄、選択欄(ラジオボックス、チェックボックス)に必要な情報を入力して、「保存(或いは登録)」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザは入力された情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S206)。例えば、グラフの種類としては、時系列の折れ線グラフ(複数の端子112のデータを用いる場合に対応した多測定点折れ線グラフなど)、データの値の分布を表示する分布グラフなど任意の種類のグラフを企図し得る。チャートの各プロットに、平均値、最大値・最小値の選択値などの所定の処理がされた測定値情報の代表値を用いる場合、チャートの時間軸の値は、プロット間の期間のいずれかの時点(例えば、期間の終了時)で代表することができる。
 このように、上記チャートの各プロットに相当する測定結果情報には、少なくとも最新の測定値情報を含む測定値情報に基づく最新の測定結果情報と、最新の測定値情報に対して過去の測定値情報のみに基づく過去の測定結果情報とがある。そして、最新の測定結果情報は、最新の測定値情報に基づくもの(生データ)であるか、又は最新の測定値情報と最新の測定値情報に対して所定期間だけ過去の一定期間における複数の測定値情報とに基づいて処理された代表値(平均値、最大値・最小値など)に基づくものであってよい。又、過去の測定結果情報は、最新の測定値情報に対して所定期間だけ過去の時点における測定値情報に基づくもの(生データ)であるか、又は最新の測定値情報に対して所定期間だけ過去の一定期間における複数の測定値情報に基づいて処理された代表値(平均値、最大値・最小値など)に基づくものであってよい。
 尚、チャートに表示可能な最大プロット数を限定し、後述のチャート表示画面では、最新の測定結果情報と、最新の測定結果情報から最大プロット数の範囲の過去までの測定結果情報とを含む複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートを作成し、表示するようにすることができる。又、チャートは、同一の端子112による測定値情報に基づいて、上記各種設定を異ならせるなどして複数設定して登録することができる。又、複数の端子112を用いている場合には、1つのチャートに複数の端子112による測定値情報を反映させることもできる。
 サービス提供サーバ201は、受信した設定内容を確認し、問題がなければ設定内容をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(設定値データベース)に登録する(S207)。
 (3)チャート表示
 次に、サービス提供サーバ201が提供するチャート(表及び/又はグラフ)の表示処理について説明する。図5は、当該処理の一例を示すシーケンス図である。
 先ず、図3のS101~S103と同様のS301~S303の処理によって、PC104のブラウザ上にメニュー画面が表示される。
 そして、測定者がブラウザによって表示されたメニュー画面中のチャート表示画面への移行を指示する表示を押下すると、ブラウザはチャート表示画面の表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S304)。サービス提供サーバ201は、チャート表示画面の表示要求を受信すると、上述のようにして既に設定されて登録されているチャートの一覧(タイトルの一覧)を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S305)。
 測定者が、ブラウザによって表示されたチャートの一覧の中から表示したいチャートのタイトルの表示を押下すると、ブラウザはチャートの表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S306)。
 サービス提供サーバ201は、受信したチャートの表示要求で指定されたタイトルと関係付けられてハードディスク212内の所定の領域(設定値データベース)に登録されている設定に従って、上述の最大プロット数の範囲でチャートを作成する(S307)。本実施例では、サービス提供サーバ201は、チャートをイメージデータとして生成する。そして、サービス提供サーバ201は、作成したチャートを表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S308)。
 測定者は、ブラウザによって表示されたチャートを確認することができる(図11参照)。又、例えば、チャート表示画面に、チャートの更新を指示する表示を含め、測定者がブラウザにおいてチャートの更新を指示する表示を押下することによって、当該指示がサービス提供サーバに送信され、サービス提供サーバ201で新たに作成した最新のチャートを測定者のPC104に送信して表示させるようにすることができる。
 尚、上記チャート表示画面では、予め設定したチャート毎に、目的とする測定機器の測定結果情報を詳しく表示することができる。これに対して、測定者が、複数の測定機器101、複数の端子112、或いは複数の変換器102を有しており、サービス提供サーバ201にそれぞれ登録している場合に、指定した端子112による最新の測定結果情報の一覧を表示することが便利である場合がある。そのため、サービス提供サーバ201は、測定者のPC104からの要求に応じて、予め指定されている端子112(複数の端子112であってよい)により測定されてサービス提供サーバ201に蓄積されている測定値情報に基づく最新の測定結果情報の一覧(指定された端子112毎の最新の測定温度値(℃)の一覧など)を表示する画面データを、測定者のPC104に送信できるようにすることができる。携帯電話からの当該表示の要求に対しては、携帯電話用に簡便な形態とした当該表示を行うための画面データを、測定者の携帯電話に送信するようにすることができる。
 又、本実施例の情報表示システム1では、変換器102が定期的に測定値情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送信し、サービス提供サーバ201がこれを受信して経時的に記録するようになっている。これを利用して、サービス提供サーバ201が測定者システム100における停電を検知して、これを測定者に報知するようにすることもできる。つまり、変換器102がサービス提供サーバ201に測定値情報を送信するように設定されている時間間隔よりも長い任意の時間の間(例えば、変換器102が3分毎に測定値情報を送信する場合に、6分間など)、サービス提供サーバ201が測定値情報を受信しなかった場合に、サービス提供サーバ201が、予め設定された測定者の連絡先(携帯電話のメールアドレスなど)にその旨を自動的に通知するようにすることができる。これにより、測定者は、変換器102が測定値情報を送信できない原因を確認することができる。この原因としては、変換器102や関連する通信機器への電力の供給が停止したことが考えられる。換言すれば、変換器102からの測定値情報の受信状況から、測定者システム100における停電を検知することができる。この通知を受け取るために、測定者は、サービス提供サーバ201のウェブページにおいて、所定の手順に従って、サービス提供サーバが前回測定値情報を受信してから通知を発するまでの待ち時間、連絡先、更には任意に通知内容(携帯電話のメールにおいて表示させるメッセージ)などを予め登録しておく。
 (4)公開設定
 次に、サービス提供サーバ201が提供する情報表示サービスの主要な機能である、測定結果情報を公開することを可能とする公開設定処理について説明する。
 本実施例では、登録されている現実の端子112による最新の測定結果情報をリアルタイムで更新して公開することができるようになっている。この公開される最新の測定結果情報は、上記チャートの各プロットと同様、記録されている測定値情報の生データであってもよいし、平均値、最大値・最小値などの所定の処理がされた代表値であってもよい。本実施例では、公開される最新の測定結果情報として、測定値情報の生データが用いられる。
 尚、公開される最新の測定結果情報として、上記所定の処理がされた代表値が用いられる場合には、例えば上記チャートの各プロットのために設定したものと同じ設定の前処理(平均化処理、最大値・最小値選択処理、生データをそのまま使用すること)が適用された測定値情報の代表値が用いられるようにすることができる。勿論、チャートの各プロットに反映させる測定値情報と、公開される最新の測定結果情報に反映させる測定値情報とで、前処理の設定が異なっていてもよい。
 又、本実施例では、登録されている現実の端子112による測定値情報に基づいて、常に最新の測定値情報に対して所定期間だけ過去の測定値情報に基づく過去の測定結果情報をリアルタイムで更新して公開することができるようになっている。この公開される過去の測定結果情報は、過去のある時点の値(生データ)であってもよいし、過去の一定期間における平均値、最大値・最小値の選択値などの所定の処理がされた代表値であってもよい。この機能は、常に最新の測定値情報に対して所定期間だけ過去の測定値情報を提供するものとして予め設定された仮想(バーチャル)端子の測定値情報に基づく、測定結果情報のリアルタイムな公開として捉えることができる。
 (4−1)最新の測定結果情報の公開設定
 先ず、最新の測定結果情報の公開設定処理について説明する。図6は、当該処理の一例を示すシーケンス図である。
 先ず、図3のS101~S103と同様のS401~S403の処理によって、PC104のブラウザ上にメニュー画面が表示される。
 そして、測定者がブラウザによって表示されたメニュー画面中の公開設定画面への移行を指示する表示を押下すると、ブラウザは公開設定画面の表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S404)。サービス提供サーバ201は、公開設定画面の表示要求を受信すると、公開設定画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S405)。
 例えば、図12に示すように、ブラウザによって表示された公開設定画面は、公開データ一覧(公開する現実の端子、公開する仮想端子、公開するチャートを表示するための一覧。初期は空欄であってよい。)、「端子を追加」ボタン、「チャートを追加」ボタンなどを含んでいる。
 測定者が「端子を追加」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザはサービス提供サーバ201に既に登録されている端子112(現実の端子)の一覧の表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S406)。サービス提供サーバ201は、端子112(現実の端子)の一覧の表示要求を受信すると、当該一覧を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S407)。測定者が表示された一覧(図示せず)から測定結果情報を公開したい端子112の名称の表示を押下すると、ブラウザは当該端子112を公開データ一覧に追加する要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S408)。サービス提供サーバ201は、上記要求を受信すると、当該端子112を公開データ一覧に加えて当該端子112の公開設定を可能とする情報をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(設定値データベース)に登録する(S409)。そして、サービス提供サーバ201は、公開可能な端子112の欄が追加された公開データ一覧を表示する更新された公開設定画面(図13参照)の画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S410)。
 次に、測定者が公開データ一覧中の追加した端子112の名称の横に表示された「非公開」表示を押下すると、ブラウザは当該端子112の測定結果情報の公開を可能とする公開要求(即ち、後述するように測定結果情報を表示するためにサービス提供サーバ201が送信する表示情報の逐次更新の開始要求)をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S411)。サービス提供サーバ201は、当該公開要求を受信すると、本実施例では測定結果情報を公開できる端子の数が限定されるので、当該公開要求が現在許容されるかを確認する(S412)。又、サービス提供サーバ201は、公開要求が許容される場合には、後述するように表示情報を逐次に作成し、更新して記憶する領域を、ハードディスク212内の測定値データベースに確保する。次に、サービス提供サーバ201は、上記「非公開」表示を「公開」表示に変更し、端子112の名称の横に新たに「設定変更」ボタンを表示する更新された公開設定画面(図14参照)の画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S413)。一方、サービス提供サーバ201は、公開要求が許容されない場合は、その旨を表示する更新された公開設定画面の画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する。尚、測定結果情報を公開できる端子の数は限定されていなくてもよい。
 次に、測定者が公開要求をした端子112の名称の横に追加された「設定変更」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザは、公開する測定結果情報の表示態様などの詳細設定を変更するための設定変更画面の表示要求を、サービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S414)。サービス提供サーバ201は、設定変更画面の表示要求を受信すると、最新の測定結果情報を、測定者が開設しているホームページやブログに動的にリンクするための情報であるスクリプト情報(ブログパーツ,タグ)を生成する(S415)。そして、サービス提供サーバ201は、図15に示すように、テキストボックスD1内に上記スクリプト情報が表示された、設定変更画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S416)。
 本実施例では、上記スクリプト情報が貼り付けられたウェブページ(ホームページやブログ)にブラウザによってアクセスした時に、そのブラウザ上に、測定結果情報が、上記設定変更画面において指定された各種設定に従ってイメージデータとして表示されるようになっている。これにより、ブラウザの設定などの諸条件により、表示される測定結果情報が文字化けするなどの問題を避けることができる。より具体的には、本実施例では、サービス提供サーバ201は、公開設定された端子112による測定値情報に基づいて、上述のようにして設定された書式等に従って、測定結果情報を表示するために送信する表示情報としてのイメージデータ(画像情報)を逐次に作成し、これをハードディスク212内に確保した所定の領域に逐次に更新して記憶させる。
 本実施例のように、公開される最新の測定結果情報に反映される測定値情報が生データである場合には、サービス提供サーバ201は、測定値情報の生データを表示するための表示情報を、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域に逐次に更新して記憶させる。一方、公開される最新の測定結果情報に反映される測定値情報が平均化処理、最大値・最小値選択処理などの所定の処理がされた代表値である場合には、サービス提供サーバ201は、その平均値、最大値・最小値を表示するための表示情報を逐次に演算により求め、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域に逐次に更新して記憶させる。
 スクリプト情報は、当該表示情報が逐次に更新されて記憶される領域を指定している。そして、このスクリプト情報は、サービス提供サーバ201が、当該スクリプト情報が掲載されたウェブページをブラウザによって表示している端末に、当該表示情報を送信することを可能とする。尚、スクリプト情報は、ウェブページを構成する複数のプログラム言語に対応するべく複数表示することができる。又、図15に示すように、公開設定処理において設定された書式等に従う表示情報によって測定結果情報がどのように表示されるかを確認できるように、設定変更画面において「出力サンプル」を表示することができる。例えば、設定変更画面(図15)のテキストボックスD1内に表示されるスクリプト情報は、次のようなものである。

 ブラウザによって表示される設定変更画面(図15参照)は、最新の測定結果情報を公開するか、最新の測定値情報に対して所定期間だけ過去の測定値情報に基づく過去の測定結果情報を公開するかの選択欄(ここでは「最新」を選択することで最新の測定値の公開を指定する)、表示形式(値のみ、値と単位、値と単位と日時など)の選択欄、タイトル(測定場所)などの任意の付加文字の入力欄、表示書式(文字フォント・サイズ・色の選択欄、背景色)の選択欄などを含んでいる。測定者が、設定変更画面中の上記各種入力欄、選択欄(ラジオボックス、チェックボックス)に必要な情報を入力して、「保存(或いは登録)」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザは入力された情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S417)。尚、設定変更画面に、代替表示設定欄を設けて、測定値が所定の条件(例えば所定温度以下、所定温度以上など)を満たした場合に、測定値の表示に替えてメッセージを表示するように設定したり、当該所定の条件を満たしたときに測定値の表示の文字或いはその背景を変更(例えば、背景を警告色に変更するなど)したりすることができる。
 サービス提供サーバ201は、受信した設定内容を確認し、問題がなければ設定内容をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(設定値データベース)に登録する(S418)。
 (4−2)仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報の公開設定
 次に、仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報の公開設定処理について説明する。図7は、当該処理の一例を示すシーケンス図である。
 仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報の公開の設定処理は、現実の端子112による測定値情報に基づいて、常に最新の測定値情報に対して所定期間だけ過去の測定値情報に基づく過去の測定結果情報をリアルタイムに更新して公開するように設定することを除いて、上記最新の測定結果情報の公開設定処理と同様である。
 ここでは、図6に示す現実の端子112による最新の測定結果情報の公開設定処理に続いて、仮想端子を追加する処理を行う場合について説明する。
 図6のS417の処理において設定変更の登録を指示した後、ブラウザによって公開設定画面に戻る。そして、S501~S513においては、それぞれ図6のS406~S418における処理と同様の処理が行われる。
 特に、図6のS417と同様のS512では、設定変更画面の最新の測定結果情報を公開するか、過去の測定結果情報を公開するかの選択欄において、「過去」を選択することで過去の測定値の公開を指定する(図15参照)。又、本実施例では、「過去」の選択欄の横に表示される入力欄に最新から遡る期間(分、時、日、月など)を入力する。図15に示す例では、分、時、日、月の単位はプルダウンメニューから選択できるようになっている。但し、この期間は固定値とされていてもよい。
 更に、本実施例では、設定変更画面の最新から遡る期間の入力欄の横に、過去の測定値情報の処理方法の選択欄が設けられており、最新から遡るように設定した一定期間における、測定値情報の平均化処理、最大値・最小値選択処理、いずれかの生データ(例えば期間の最初又は最後の生データ)をそのまま使用することなどを選択できるようになっている。図15に示す例では、これらの処理方法はプルダウンメニューから選択するようになっている。
 例えば、最新から遡る期間が1時間に設定され、処理方法として平均化処理、又は最大値・最小値選択処理が選択された場合、サービス提供サーバ201は、最新に対して1時間前までの平均値、又は1時間前までの間の最大値若しくは最小値を表示するための表示情報を逐次に演算により求め、表示情報を記憶するためにハードディスク212内に確保された所定の領域に逐次に更新して記憶させる。一方、例えば、生データを使用することが選択された場合は、サービス提供サーバ201は、最新に対して1時間前の測定値情報の生データを表示するための表示情報を、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域に逐次に更新して記憶させる。
 本実施例では、上述の現実の端子112による最新の測定結果情報の公開においては、常に、最新の測定値情報の生データに基づく測定結果情報を公開することになる。これに対して、仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報の公開においては、仮想端子の基礎となる現実の端子112による過去の測定値情報に対して平均化処理などの所定の処理を施した後の測定結果情報を公開することができる。これにより、例えば、過去の一定期間の平均値と現在の値との比較など、最新の測定結果情報と、過去の処理後の測定結果情報とを比較できるように公開することができて好都合である。
 又、図6のS408と同様のS503では、測定者が表示された一覧から仮想端子の基礎としたい現実の端子112の名称の表示を押下すると、ブラウザは当該端子112を基礎とした仮想端子を公開データ一覧に追加する要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する。そして、図6のS409と同様のS504では、サービス提供サーバ201は、上記要求を受信すると、当該端子112を基礎とする仮想端子を公開データ一覧に加えて当該仮想端子の公開設定を可能とする情報をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(設定値データベース)に登録する。この時、サービス提供サーバ201が、仮想端子に自動で名称(現実の端子の名称に枝番を付したものなど)を付与するようにしたり、手動で入力するようにしたりしてもよい。そして、図5の410と同様のS505では、サービス提供サーバ201は、仮想端子の欄が追加された公開データ一覧を表示する更新された公開設定画面(図16参照)の画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する。
 又、図6のS415と同様のS510では、サービス提供サーバ201は、設定変更画面の表示要求を受信すると、過去の測定結果情報を、測定者が開設しているホームページやブログに動的にリンクするための情報であるスクリプト情報(ブログパーツ,タグ)を生成する。そして、図6のS416と同様のS511では、サービス提供サーバ201は、テキストボックスD1内に上記スクリプト情報が表示された、上記図15と同様の設定変更画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する。本実施例では、前述のように、上記スクリプト情報が貼り付けられたウェブページを閲覧するブラウザ上で測定結果情報がイメージデータとして表示されるようになっている。
 尚、ここでは仮想端子に係る公開設定処理を図6の処理の続きとして説明したが、図6のS406~S418を省いて、仮想端子に係る公開設定処理のみを行うことも当然可能である。又、最新の測定結果情報を公開せずに、仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報の公開のみを行うこともできる。
 (4−3)チャートの公開
 次に、チャートの公開設定処理について説明する。図8は、当該処理の一例を示すシーケンス図である。
 ここでは、図6、図7の処理に続いて、チャートの公開設定処理をする場合について説明する。
 図7のS512の処理において設定変更の登録を指示した後、ブラウザによって公開設定画面に戻ると、前述のように当該画面には、「チャートを追加」ボタンが表示されている(図14参照)。
 測定者が「チャートを追加」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザはサービス提供サーバ201に既に登録されているチャート(図4の処理で設定を登録したもの)の一覧の表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S601)。サービス提供サーバ201は、チャートの一覧の表示要求を受信すると、当該一覧を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S602)。測定者が表示された一覧から公開したいチャートの名称の表示を押下すると、ブラウザは当該チャートを公開データ一覧に追加する要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S603)。サービス提供サーバ201は、上記要求を受信すると、当該チャートを公開データ一覧に加えて当該チャートの公開設定を可能とする情報をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(設定値データベース)に登録する(S604)。そして、サービス提供サーバ201は、公開可能なチャートの欄が追加された公開データ一覧を表示する更新された公開設定画面の画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S605)。
 次に、測定者が公開データ一覧中の追加したチャートの名称の横に表示された「非公開」表示を押下すると、ブラウザは当該チャートの公開要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S606)。サービス提供サーバ201は、当該公開要求を受信すると、本実施例では公開できるチャートの数が限定されるので、当該公開要求が現在許容されるかを確認する(S607)。又、サービス提供サーバ201は、公開要求が許容される場合には、サービス提供サーバ201が表示情報を逐次に作成し、更新して記憶する領域を、ハードディスク212内の測定値データベースに確保する。次に、サービス提供サーバ201は、上記「非公開」表示を「公開」表示に変更し、チャートの名称の横に新たに「設定変更」ボタンを表示する更新された公開設定画面(図16参照)の画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S608)。一方、サービス提供サーバ201は、公開要求が許容されない場合は、その旨を表示する更新された公開設定画面の画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する。尚、公開できるチャートの数は限定されていなくてもよい。
 次に、測定者が公開要求をしたチャートの名称の横に追加された「設定変更」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザは、公開するチャートの表示態様などの詳細設定を変更するための設定変更画面の表示要求を、サービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S609)。サービス提供サーバ201は、設定変更画面の表示要求を受信すると、チャートを、測定者が開設しているホームページやブログに動的にリンクするための情報であるスクリプト情報(ブログパーツ,タグ)を生成する(S610)。そして、サービス提供サーバ201は、テキストボックス内に上記スクリプト情報が表示された、設定変更画面を表示する画面データを測定者のPC104に送信する(S611)(図17参照)。本実施例では、前述と同様、上記スクリプト情報が貼り付けられたウェブページを閲覧するブラウザ上でチャートがイメージデータとして表示されるようになっている。
 尚、ブラウザによって表示される設定変更画面は、最新の測定結果と過去の測定結果情報とを含む複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートを公開するか、最新の測定結果情報に対して所定期間だけ過去にシフトさせた複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートを公開するかの選択欄、表示形式(表のみ、表とグラフなど)の選択欄、測定場所などの任意の付加文字の入力欄、表示書式(文字フォント・サイズ・色の選択欄、背景)の選択欄などを含んでいてもよい。ここで、上記設定変更画面で最新の測定結果と過去の測定結果情報とを含む複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートを公開することが選択された場合には、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域には、最新のチャートを表示するための表示情報が逐次に更新して記憶される。一方、上記設定変更画面で最新の測定結果情報に対して所定期間だけ過去にシフトさせた複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートを公開することが選択された場合には、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域には、最新のチャートに対して上記設定変更画面で指定された所定期間だけ過去のチャートを表示するための表示情報が逐次に更新して記憶される。上記スクリプト情報は、これらの表示情報が記憶された上記所定の記憶領域を指定するものである。
 測定者が、設定変更画面中に必要な情報を入力して、「保存(或いは登録)」ボタンを押下すると、ブラウザは入力された情報をサービス提供サーバ201に送信する(S612)。
 サービス提供サーバ201は、受信した設定内容を確認し、問題がなければ設定内容をハードディスク212内の所定の記憶領域(設定値データベース)に登録する(S613)。
 尚、ここではチャートの公開設定を、図6、図7の処理の続きとして説明したが、図6のS406~S418の処理、及び/又は図7の処理を省いて、チャートの公開設定に係る設定処理のみを行うことも当然可能である。
 5.ウェブページへの公開
 図9は、測定者が開設するウェブページ(ホームページやブログ)において、現実の端子112による最新の測定結果情報、仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報、又は最新の測定結果情報及び/又は過去の測定結果情報を示すグラフ及び/又は表であるチャートを公開する処理の一例のシーケンス図である。
 ここでは、測定者が、インターネットプロバイダが管理するウェブサーバとされる情報公開サーバ401(図2)に測定結果情報を公開するためのウェブページを格納している場合を例に説明する。但し、情報公開サーバ401は、測定者自信が管理するものであってもよい。
 例えば、図6のS414において、測定者がPC104のブラウザ上で「設定変更」ボタンを押下することでサービス提供サーバ201に公開設定の変更を要求すると、図6のS415においてサービス提供サーバ201がスクリプト情報(ブログパーツ,タグ)を生成し、図6のS416において当該スクリプト情報を含む設定変更画面がブラウザ上に表示される。図7のS509、S510及びS511、或いは図8のS609、S610及びS611の各処理においても同様である。
 測定者は、こうしてブラウザ上に表示された設定変更画面中のテキストボックス内に表示されたスクリプト情報を、ブラウザ上でコピーする(S701)。そして、測定者は、別途ブラウザで表示した、測定結果情報を公開するための自己のウェブページ上の所定の箇所に、上記コピーしたスクリプト情報を貼り付け、これを確定する指示を入力する。これにより、当該スクリプト情報を含むウェブページデータが情報公開サーバ401に送信される(S702)。情報公開サーバ401は、受信したスクリプト情報を含むウェブページデータを、ハードディスク412内の所定の領域(測定者に割り当てられたウェブコンテンツ保存領域)に格納する(S703)。
 閲覧者が、閲覧者のPC301のブラウザによって、情報公開サーバ401に開設された測定者のウェブページにアクセスすると、情報公開サーバ401から、スクリプト情報(ブログパーツ,タグ)が掲載されたウェブページデータが閲覧者のPC301に送信される(S704)。閲覧者のPC301のブラウザは、受信したウェブページデータを処理して表示するに際して、上記スクリプト情報に従って、サービス提供サーバ201に対し、上記スクリプト情報によって指定される測定結果情報の表示要求を送信する(S705)。より具体的には、上述のように、閲覧者のPC301のブラウザは、スクリプト情報によって指定される、サービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212内の所定の領域に逐次に更新されて記憶されている、測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報を読みに行く。即ち、閲覧者のPC301のブラウザは、当該表示情報を送信することをサービス提供サーバ201に要求する。そして、サービス提供サーバ201は、上記スクリプト情報に従って送信を要求された測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報を、閲覧者のPC301に送信する(S706)。これにより、閲覧者のPC301のブラウザ上に表示された測定者のウェブページ上に当該測定結果情報が表示される。本実施例では、この表示情報は、サービス提供サーバ201において、前述の公開設定処理によって設定されている所定の書式等に従ってイメージデータとして逐次に生成され記憶されているものである。
 このようにして、測定者がサービス提供サーバ201において測定結果情報を公開する設定を行い、自己のウェブページ上に当該公開するデータを動的にリンクさせるスクリプト情報を関係付けることによって、閲覧者が当該ウェブページにアクセスする度に、動的にリンクされている測定結果情報が逐次に更新されて表示される。公開する測定結果情報は、現実の端子112による最新の測定結果情報、仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報、及びチャートの全て又はこれらのうち少なくとも1つであってよい。
 例えば、図21は、測定者が自己のホームページにおいて最新の温泉の温度と、前日の同時刻の温泉の温度を公開する画面表示の一例を示す。又、図22は、更に最新の温泉の温度を含む最近の所定期間内の温泉の温度変化を示すチャートをも掲載した画面表示の一例を示す。閲覧者は、温泉の温度の近時の変動から温泉の状態を感得することができる。又、現地の最新の気温と過去(例えば前日)の気温(更には近時の気温変動を示すチャート)を公開するような場合には、閲覧者は現地の気温変化を予測などすることもできる。
 尚、本実施例では、温泉の温度を測定し、公開する場合を例に説明したが、本発明はこれに何ら限定されるものではない。前述のような各種の測定機器を用いることによって、種々の測定対象の測定結果情報を公開することができる。
 以上説明したように、本実施例の情報表示方法を具現するサービス提供サーバ201は、測定者が管理する変換器102から送信される測定値情報を受信する測定値情報受信手段を有する。本実施例では、ネットワークインターフェース214、CPU211が、この測定値情報受信手段として機能する。又、サービス提供サーバ201は、測定値情報受信手段によって受信された測定値情報を経時的に記録する測定値情報記録手段を有する。本実施例では、ハードディスク212が、この測定値情報記録手段として機能する。又、サービス提供サーバ201は、表示要求情報を受信する表示要求情報受信手段を有する。この表示要求情報は、測定値情報記録手段によって経時的に記録された測定値情報のうち最新の測定値情報及び/又は過去の測定値情報に基づき測定結果情報を閲覧者の端末機器301において表示するための表示情報を送信することを要求する。本実施例では、ネットワークインターフェース214、CPU211が、この表示要求情報受信手段として機能する。又、サービス提供サーバ201は、表示要求情報受信手段によって受信された表示要求情報に応じて表示情報を送信する表示情報送信手段を有する。本実施例では、ネットワークインターフェース214、CPU211が、この表示情報送信手段として機能する。本実施例では、上記表示要求情報受信手段は、測定者が測定機器101の測定結果情報を公開するための公開画面(ウェブページ)に係る公開画面情報(ウェブコンテンツデータ)を格納した情報公開サーバ401から、公開画面情報が閲覧者の端末機器301に送信されることによって、表示要求情報を受信するようになっている。又、上記表示情報送信手段は、公開画面情報が送信された閲覧者の端末機器301に、表示情報を送信する。
 更に、本実施例では、サービス提供サーバ201は、測定者の端末機器104から受信した要求(公開設定における設定変更画面の送信要求)に応じて、測定者が公開画面情報と関係付けて情報公開サーバ401に格納する表示要求発生情報(スクリプト情報)を生成する表示要求発生情報生成手段を有する。この表示要求発生情報は、公開画面情報が閲覧者の端末機器301に送信されることによって、表示要求情報がサービス提供サーバ201に送信されて、サービス提供サーバが表示情報を閲覧者の端末機器301に送信することを可能とするものである。本実施例では、CPU211が、この表示要求発生情報生成手段の機能を達成する。又、サービス提供サーバ201は、表示要求発生情報生成手段によって生成された表示要求発生情報を、測定者の端末機器104に送信する表示要求発生情報送信手段を有する。本実施例では、ネットワークインターフェース214、CPU211が、この表示要求発生情報送信手段として機能する。
 尚、本実施例では、CPU211は、測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報としてイメージデータを生成する表示情報生成手段としての機能を達成する。
 サービス提供サーバ201のCPU211は、ハードディスク212に記憶されたプログラム、データに従って演算処理することによって、上記各手段としての機能を達成する。
 以上のように、本実施例によれば、専用の回線などを用いた大がかりな測定システムを用いることなく、測定者の管理する測定機器による測定結果を示す測定結果情報を、簡易、低コストにて、蓄積し、逐次に更新して一般に公開することができる。即ち、測定者は、特別なソフトウェアなどを用いることなく、一般的なブラウザを用いることによって、情報表示サービスの提供を受けることができる。又、測定者は、測定結果情報の保守、管理、更には測定結果情報を記録する記録媒体などの装置自体の保守、管理などに手間やコストをかける必要はない。又、測定者は、測定結果情報を蓄積し、処理する作業を手動で行う必要はなく、更に測定結果情報を逐次に更新して公開するために当該情報を情報公開サーバに逐次に格納するような作業を別途行う必要もない。
1. System configuration
First, a schematic overall configuration of an information display system that embodies an information display method according to the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 schematically shows an example of an information display system. In the present embodiment, the information display system 1 has an outline and a measurer system 100 managed by a measurer (an entity having an idea and responsibility for measurement) and a service provider (an idea and responsibility for an information display service according to the present invention). The service provider system 200 managed by the subject) and the browser system 300 managed by the viewer are connected via the public line N. In the present embodiment, the information display system 1 further includes an information disclosure system 400 (see FIG. 2) for storing information for allowing the measurer to disclose the measurement result information related to the measurement result.
Measurement value information (measurement data) by the measuring device 101 managed by the measurer in the measurer system 100 is stored in the service providing server 201 managed by the service provider in the service providing system 200 connected to the public line N. And the measurement result information which shows the measurement result by the said measuring device 101 based on the measured value information accumulate | stored in this service provision server 201 is displayed on the terminal device 301 of the browser managed by the viewer connected to the public line N. It is like that.
In this embodiment, the public line N is the Internet. In the present embodiment, a case where a hot spring administrator measures and records the temperature of the hot spring and discloses measurement result information indicating the measurement result to the public via the public line N will be described as an example.
The measurer system 200 includes a measuring device 101 and a converter 102 to which the measuring device 101 is connected. The measurer system 200 includes an ADSL modem and a router for connecting the converter 102 and a measurer's terminal device (in this embodiment, a personal computer (PC)) 104 managed by the measurer to the public line N. Connected device (a router that can always be connected to the Internet in this embodiment) 103.
As the measuring instrument 101, a digital measuring instrument (serial device) capable of outputting detected value information as a digital signal to a computer or a serial server via a serial interface such as RS232, RS458, RS422, or the like is used. In this embodiment, a thermometer is used as the measuring device 101. In addition, depending on the measurement object, a thermohygrometer, hygrometer, oxygen concentration meter, CO 2 (Carbon dioxide) concentration meter, current / voltmeter, illuminance meter, pH meter, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential) meter, UV (ultraviolet) meter, color measuring device, O 2 Various physical quantities such as a concentration meter, an electric conductivity meter, a noise meter, a moisture meter, and an anemometer may be measured. The measuring device 101 may have the main body 111 and the sensor unit (terminal) 112 in a separable manner or may have a single body.
The converter 102 is connected to the measuring device 101 and converts the output of the measuring device 101 so that it can communicate through the public line N by a predetermined communication protocol. In particular, in this embodiment, the converter 102 uses a LAN converter (serial server) that converts the output of the measuring device 101, which is a serial device, using TCP / IP, which is a predetermined protocol that can communicate over the Internet. The converter 102 is always connected to the public line N by the router 103 via a LAN (Ethernet connection). The converter 103 periodically reads the output of the measuring device 101 at a predetermined interval, converts it into measurement value information that can be communicated through the public line N, temporarily stores it, etc., and then periodically reads it at a predetermined interval. For transmission through the public line N. The converter 102 is connected to the router 103 by a LAN cable. The router 103 may be connected to the measurer's PC 104, whereby the measurer's PC 104 is connected to the public line N, and the converter 102 is accessed from the measurer's PC 104 via the LAN to perform measurement. Various settings can be performed, including the setting of the interval for reading the output of the device 101 and the interval for transmitting measurement value information. In the PC 104, measurement value information is directly read from the converter 102 via the LAN by a web browser program or the like, and measurement result information (for example, measurement temperature value (for example, measurement temperature value (for example) based on the latest measurement value information in a predetermined format and display format). C))) may be displayed.
The converter 102 and the measurement person's PC 104 may be connected to each other via a LAN, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the installation location of the measuring device 101 and the converter 102 and the measurer's PC 104 are separated from each other, the converter 102 and the measurer's PC 104 are separately connected to the public line via a connection device such as the router 103. N may be connected.
Also, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate understanding, the measurement device 101 managed by the measurer in the measurer system 100, the terminal 112 of the measurement device 101, and the converter 102 are each assumed to be one. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In the measurer system 100, a measurer uses a plurality of measuring devices 101 connected to one converter 102, or uses a plurality of converters 102 each connected with one or a plurality of measuring devices 101. Furthermore, each measuring device 101 may have a plurality of terminals 112.
The measurer can access the service providing system 200 through the public line N by the PC 104 and receive the service provided by the service provider. In addition to the PC 104, for example, a service such as browsing of measurement result information based on the measurement value information stored in the service providing server 201 by accessing the service providing system 200 through the public line N by a portable information terminal such as the mobile phone 105 Can receive.
Next, the service provider system 200 includes a service providing server 201 that is a web server connected to the public line N. The service providing server 201 is programmed to execute an information display service according to the present invention. The service providing server 201 has a function of accumulating measurement value information transmitted from the measurer system 100 through the public line N, and the public line N so that the measurer can use measurement result information based on the accumulated measurement value information. And the function of enabling the measurer to make public the measurement result information to be disclosed to the public through the public line N based on the accumulated measurement value information.
Next, the viewer system 300 includes a browser terminal device (in this embodiment, a personal computer (PC)) 301 connected to the public line N. The viewer can access and browse web pages (homepage, blog) published by the measurer through the public line N. Typically, the viewer is a third party other than the measurer and the service provider. However, as can be easily understood, it is also possible for the measurer or the service provider to access and browse the web page. In this case, the measurer or the service provider and the viewer Become the same person.
In more detail with reference also to FIG. 2, first, in the measurer system 100, the main body 111 of the measuring device 101, which is a thermometer, is arranged so as to be in contact with the hot spring water H to be measured. A sensor unit (terminal) 112 is connected. A converter 102, which is a LAN converter (serial server) to which the measuring device 101 is connected, includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 121 as a control means for controlling the operation and a memory (flash memory, EEPROM) as a storage means. 122), a serial interface 123 to which the measuring device 101 is connected, and a connection device such as the router 103 (see FIG. 1) not shown in FIG. A network interface 124. The CPU 121 is set so as to periodically read the output of the measuring device 101 at a predetermined interval according to the firmware stored in the memory 122 and periodically transmit the measurement value information through the public line N at a predetermined interval. The CPU 121 may be set so that the output of the measuring device 101 is temporarily stored in the memory 122 before or after the conversion. For example, the converter 102 can be set to read the output of the measuring device 101 every minute and transmit the measurement value information through the public line N every three minutes. In this embodiment, the measurement value information is sent to the service providing server 201 by the POST method using the http protocol. When the converter 102 is connected to the public line N, the service provider or the like provides this to the measurer so that the service provider server 201 can be automatically accessed and the measurement value information can be transmitted to the service provider server 201. In this case, it is preferable that the program is previously programmed by firmware. However, the measurer may be set from the PC 104 via an operation unit (not shown) of the converter 102 or via a LAN, for example. The time interval for reading the output and the time interval for transmitting the measurement value information can be changed and set from the PC 104 via the operation unit (not shown) of the converter 102 or the LAN, for example.
Next, a personal computer having a general configuration can be used as the PC 104 of the measurer system 100. That is, the PC 104 generally includes a CPU 141 as control means for executing a program, a hard disk 142 as storage means for storing programs and various data, and a memory as work storage means used as a work area when executing the program. 143, an operation unit 144 that is an input means such as an operation keyboard and mouse used by an operator for data input, a display 145 that is a display means for displaying the processing result of the CPU 141, and a PC 104 for connecting to the public line N A network interface 146; The hard disk 142 stores a web browser program (hereinafter simply referred to as “browser”), which is an application program for browsing web pages. The operator can execute a browser on the PC 104 to access and browse the website through the public line N.
Next, as the service providing server 201 of the service provider system 200, a server computer used as a web server having a general configuration can be used. That is, the service providing server 201 generally executes a program, a CPU 211 as a control unit that controls the entire service providing server 201, a hard disk 212 as a storage unit that stores programs and various data, It has a memory 213 as work storage means used as a work area, a network interface 214 for connecting the service providing server 201 to the public line N, and the like. The hard disk 212 stores various programs and various data that are read and executed by the CPU 211. In particular, the hard disk 212 stores an area for storing web content data including web pages and various processing programs constituting a service provided by the service providing server 201, and individual items registered to receive services provided by the service providing server 201. Area for storing user registration information related to users (measurers) (user registration database), area for storing measurement value information for each user (measurement value database), area for storing various setting values for each user (setting value database) Is provided.
Next, the PC 301 of the viewer system 300 may be a personal computer having a general configuration. That is, like the measurer's PC 104, the PC 301 generally includes a CPU 311, a hard disk 312, a memory 313, an operation unit 314, a display 315, a network interface 316, and the like. The hard disk 312 stores a browser for browsing web pages. The operator can execute a browser on the PC 301 to access and browse the website through the public line N.
Next, an information disclosure server 401 serving as a web server, which stores a web page that is opened for the measurement person to disclose measurement result information to the public through the public line N, is used as a web server having a general configuration. It may be a server computer. That is, like the service providing server 201, the information disclosure server 401 generally includes a CPU 411, a hard disk 412, a memory 413, a network interface 414, and the like. The hard disk 412 stores various programs and various data that are read and executed by the CPU 411.

Yes. By using this, the service providing server 201 can detect a power failure in the measurer system 100 and notify the measurer of this. That is, the converter 102 transmits measurement value information every arbitrary time longer than the time interval set to transmit the measurement value information to the service providing server 201 (for example, the converter 102 transmits the measurement value information every 3 minutes). If the service providing server 201 does not receive the measurement value information, the service providing server 201 notifies the preset contact information of the measurer (such as the e-mail address of the mobile phone) to that effect. Can be automatically notified. Thereby, the measurer can confirm the reason why the converter 102 cannot transmit the measurement value information. This may be because power supply to the converter 102 and related communication devices has stopped. In other words, a power failure in the measurer system 100 can be detected from the reception state of the measurement value information from the converter 102. In order to receive this notification, the measurer, on the web page of the service providing server 201, in accordance with a predetermined procedure, the waiting time until the service providing server issues the notification after receiving the last measured value information, contact information, Arbitrarily registers notification contents (messages to be displayed in a mobile phone mail) in advance.
(4) Public setting
Next, a description will be given of a public setting process that enables the measurement result information to be disclosed, which is a main function of the information display service provided by the service providing server 201.
In the present embodiment, the latest measurement result information from the registered actual terminal 112 can be updated and published in real time. The latest measurement result information to be disclosed may be raw data of recorded measurement value information, as with each plot of the chart, or a predetermined process such as an average value, maximum value / minimum value, or the like. It may be a representative value. In this embodiment, raw data of measurement value information is used as the latest measurement result information disclosed.
In addition, when the representative value that has been subjected to the predetermined processing is used as the latest measurement result information that is disclosed, for example, preprocessing (averaging processing) having the same settings as those set for each plot of the chart The representative value of the measurement value information to which the maximum value / minimum value selection process, raw data is used as it is) can be used. Of course, the preprocessing settings may be different for the measurement value information reflected in each plot of the chart and the measurement value information reflected in the latest measurement result information disclosed.
Further, in this embodiment, based on the registered measurement value information from the actual terminal 112, the past measurement result information based on the past measurement value information for a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement value information is always real-time. It can be updated and published. The past measurement result information to be disclosed may be a value (raw data) at a certain point in the past, or a predetermined process such as an average value, a maximum value / a minimum value selection value in a past fixed period, or the like. It may be a representative value. This function is a real-time disclosure of measurement result information based on the measurement value information of a virtual terminal that has been set in advance to provide past measurement value information for a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement value information. Can be caught.
(4-1) Setting of disclosure of latest measurement result information
First, the latest measurement result information disclosure setting process will be described. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the process.
First, a menu screen is displayed on the browser of the PC 104 by the processing of S401 to S403 similar to S101 to S103 of FIG.
Then, when the measurer presses a display for instructing the transition to the public setting screen in the menu screen displayed by the browser, the browser transmits a display request for the public setting screen to the service providing server 201 (S404). When receiving the display request for the public setting screen, the service providing server 201 transmits screen data for displaying the public setting screen to the measurer's PC 104 (S405).
For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the public setting screen displayed by the browser is a public data list (real terminal to be disclosed, virtual terminal to be published, list for displaying chart to be published. Initially blank. Good)), "Add Terminal" button, "Add Chart" button and so on.
When the measurer presses the “add terminal” button, the browser transmits a request to display a list of terminals 112 (actual terminals) already registered in the service providing server 201 to the service providing server 201 (S406). When the service providing server 201 receives a request to display a list of terminals 112 (actual terminals), the service providing server 201 transmits screen data for displaying the list to the measurer's PC 104 (S407). When the measurer presses down the display of the name of the terminal 112 for which the measurement result information is to be disclosed from the displayed list (not shown), the browser transmits a request for adding the terminal 112 to the public data list to the service providing server 201. (S408). When the service providing server 201 receives the request, the service providing server 201 adds the terminal 112 to the public data list and registers information enabling the public setting of the terminal 112 in a predetermined storage area (setting value database) in the hard disk 212. (S409). Then, the service providing server 201 transmits the screen data of the updated public setting screen (see FIG. 13) displaying the public data list to which the field of the terminal 112 that can be disclosed is added to the measurer's PC 104 (S410). .
Next, when the measurer presses the “non-disclosure” display displayed next to the name of the added terminal 112 in the list of public data, the browser requests the disclosure of the measurement result information of the terminal 112 ( That is, as will be described later, a display information sequential update start request transmitted by the service providing server 201 for displaying the measurement result information is transmitted to the service providing server 201 (S411). Upon receiving the disclosure request, the service providing server 201 checks whether the disclosure request is currently permitted because the number of terminals that can disclose the measurement result information is limited in this embodiment (S412). In addition, when the disclosure request is permitted, the service providing server 201 sequentially creates display information as will be described later, and secures an area to be updated and stored in the measurement value database in the hard disk 212. Next, the service providing server 201 changes the “private” display to the “public” display, and displays a new “setting change” button next to the name of the terminal 112 (FIG. 14). The screen data of (see) is transmitted to the measurer's PC 104 (S413). On the other hand, when the publication request is not permitted, the service providing server 201 transmits screen data of the updated publication setting screen displaying the fact to the measurer's PC 104. Note that the number of terminals to which the measurement result information can be disclosed may not be limited.
Next, when the measurer presses the “change setting” button added next to the name of the terminal 112 requested to be published, the browser sets the setting for changing the detailed settings such as the display mode of the measurement result information to be published. A change screen display request is transmitted to the service providing server 201 (S414). When the service providing server 201 receives the setting change screen display request, the service providing server 201 includes script information (blog parts, blog parts, information for dynamically linking the latest measurement result information to the homepage or blog established by the measurer. Tag) is generated (S415). Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the service providing server 201 transmits screen data for displaying the setting change screen in which the script information is displayed in the text box D1 to the measurer's PC 104 (S416).
In this embodiment, when a browser accesses a web page (homepage or blog) to which the script information is pasted, the measurement result information is displayed on the browser according to various settings specified on the setting change screen. Is displayed. As a result, problems such as garbled displayed measurement result information due to various conditions such as browser settings can be avoided. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the service providing server 201 displays the measurement result information according to the format set as described above based on the measurement value information from the terminal 112 that has been set open. Image data (image information) as display information to be transmitted to is sequentially created, and this is sequentially updated and stored in a predetermined area secured in the hard disk 212.
As in the present embodiment, when the measurement value information reflected in the latest published measurement result information is raw data, the service providing server 201 displays information for displaying the raw data of the measurement value information. Are sequentially updated and stored in the predetermined area secured in the hard disk 212. On the other hand, when the measurement value information reflected in the latest disclosed measurement result information is a representative value that has been subjected to predetermined processing such as averaging processing, maximum value / minimum value selection processing, the service providing server 201 Display information for displaying the average value, the maximum value, and the minimum value is sequentially obtained by calculation, and is sequentially updated and stored in the predetermined area secured in the hard disk 212.
The script information designates an area where the display information is sequentially updated and stored. The script information enables the service providing server 201 to transmit the display information to a terminal displaying a web page on which the script information is posted by a browser. Note that a plurality of pieces of script information can be displayed so as to correspond to a plurality of programming languages constituting the web page. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, “output sample” is displayed on the setting change screen so that it can be confirmed how the measurement result information is displayed by the display information according to the format set in the public setting process. be able to. For example, the script information displayed in the text box D1 on the setting change screen (FIG. 15) is as follows.

The setting change screen (see FIG. 15) displayed by the browser publishes the latest measurement result information or publishes past measurement result information based on past measurement value information for a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement value information. Selection field (in this case, select "Latest" to specify the latest measurement value to be disclosed), display format (value only, value and unit, value and unit and date, etc.), selection field, title ( It includes an input field for arbitrary additional characters such as (measurement location) and a selection field for display format (character font / size / color selection field, background color). When the measurer inputs necessary information in the various input fields and selection fields (radio box, check box) on the setting change screen and presses the “save (or registration)” button, the browser inputs the information. Is transmitted to the service providing server 201 (S417). An alternative display setting field is provided on the setting change screen so that when the measured value satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, a predetermined temperature or lower, a predetermined temperature or higher, etc.), a message is displayed instead of the measured value display. Or when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the display character of the measurement value or the background thereof can be changed (for example, the background is changed to a warning color).
The service providing server 201 confirms the received setting contents, and if there is no problem, registers the setting contents in a predetermined storage area (setting value database) in the hard disk 212 (S418).
(4-2) Open setting of past measurement result information by virtual terminal
Next, the past setting process of past measurement result information using a virtual terminal will be described. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the processing.
The past measurement result information disclosure setting process by the virtual terminal is based on the measurement value information by the actual terminal 112, and the past measurement result is always based on the past measurement value information for a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement value information. Except for setting to update and publish information in real time, this is the same as the above-described disclosure setting process for the latest measurement result information.
Here, a case where a process of adding a virtual terminal is performed following the public setting process of the latest measurement result information by the actual terminal 112 illustrated in FIG. 6 will be described.
After instructing the registration of the setting change in the process of S417 in FIG. 6, the browser returns to the public setting screen. In S501 to S513, the same processes as those in S406 to S418 of FIG. 6 are performed.
In particular, in S512, which is the same as S417 in FIG. 6, by selecting “Past” in the selection column for publishing the latest measurement result information or the past measurement result information on the setting change screen, Specify the disclosure of measured values (see FIG. 15). In the present embodiment, a period (minute, hour, day, month, etc.) retroactive to the latest is entered in the input field displayed next to the “past” selection field. In the example shown in FIG. 15, the units of minutes, hours, days, and months can be selected from a pull-down menu. However, this period may be a fixed value.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, a selection field for the processing method of past measurement value information is provided next to the input field of the period that goes back from the latest on the setting change screen, and in a certain period set to go back from the latest, Measurement value information averaging processing, maximum value / minimum value selection processing, use of any raw data (for example, raw data at the beginning or end of a period) can be selected. In the example shown in FIG. 15, these processing methods are selected from a pull-down menu.
For example, when the period going back from the latest is set to 1 hour and the averaging process or the maximum / minimum value selection process is selected as the processing method, the service providing server 201 calculates the average up to 1 hour before the latest. Display information for displaying the value, or the maximum value or the minimum value up to one hour ago, is calculated sequentially, and sequentially updated to a predetermined area secured in the hard disk 212 to store the display information And memorize it. On the other hand, for example, when the use of raw data is selected, the service providing server 201 displays display information for displaying raw data of measurement value information one hour before the latest in the hard disk 212. It is sequentially updated and stored in the predetermined area secured.
In the present embodiment, when the latest measurement result information is disclosed by the actual terminal 112, the measurement result information based on the raw data of the latest measurement value information is always disclosed. On the other hand, in the disclosure of past measurement result information by the virtual terminal, after performing a predetermined process such as an averaging process on the past measurement value information by the actual terminal 112 that is the basis of the virtual terminal. Measurement result information can be disclosed. As a result, for example, the latest measurement result information such as a comparison between the average value of the past certain period and the current value can be disclosed so that the measurement result information after the past processing can be compared. is there.
Further, in S503, which is the same as S408 in FIG. 6, when the measurer presses the display of the name of the actual terminal 112 to be the basis of the virtual terminal from the displayed list, the browser displays the virtual terminal based on the terminal 112. A request to add to the public data list is transmitted to the service providing server 201. In S504, which is the same as S409 in FIG. 6, when the service providing server 201 receives the request, the service providing server 201 adds the virtual terminal based on the terminal 112 to the public data list and enables the public setting of the virtual terminal. Information is registered in a predetermined storage area (setting value database) in the hard disk 212. At this time, the service providing server 201 may automatically assign a name to the virtual terminal (such as a name obtained by adding a branch number to the name of the actual terminal) or manually input the name. In S505 similar to 410 in FIG. 5, the service providing server 201 displays the screen data of the updated public setting screen (see FIG. 16) displaying the public data list to which the virtual terminal field is added as the measurer's screen data. Send to PC 104.
In S510 similar to S415 in FIG. 6, when the service providing server 201 receives a setting change screen display request, the service providing server 201 dynamically links past measurement result information to a homepage or blog opened by the measurer. Script information (blog parts, tags), which is information for doing this, is generated. In S511 similar to S416 in FIG. 6, the service providing server 201 displays screen data for displaying the setting change screen similar to that in FIG. 15 in which the script information is displayed in the text box D1, and the PC 104 of the measurer. Send to. In this embodiment, as described above, the measurement result information is displayed as image data on the browser that browses the web page to which the script information is pasted.
Here, the public setting process related to the virtual terminal has been described as a continuation of the process of FIG. 6, but it is naturally possible to perform only the public setting process related to the virtual terminal by omitting S406 to S418 of FIG. Moreover, it is also possible to disclose only past measurement result information using a virtual terminal without disclosing the latest measurement result information.
(4-3) Chart release
Next, chart disclosure setting processing will be described. FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the processing.
Here, a case where a chart disclosure setting process is performed following the processes of FIGS. 6 and 7 will be described.
After instructing the registration of the setting change in the process of S512 of FIG. 7, when returning to the public setting screen by the browser, the “add chart” button is displayed on the screen as described above (see FIG. 14). .
When the measurer presses the “add chart” button, the browser sends a request to display a list of charts already registered in the service providing server 201 (settings registered in the process of FIG. 4) to the service providing server 201. (S601). Upon receiving the chart list display request, the service providing server 201 transmits screen data for displaying the list to the measurer's PC 104 (S602). When the measurer presses down the display of the name of the chart to be published from the displayed list, the browser transmits a request for adding the chart to the published data list to the service providing server 201 (S603). When the service providing server 201 receives the request, the service providing server 201 adds the chart to the public data list and registers information enabling the public setting of the chart in a predetermined storage area (setting value database) in the hard disk 212 (S604). ). Then, the service providing server 201 transmits the screen data of the updated public setting screen that displays the public data list to which the column of the chart that can be disclosed is added to the measurer's PC 104 (S605).
Next, when the measurer presses a “non-public” display displayed next to the name of the added chart in the public data list, the browser transmits a public request for the chart to the service providing server 201 (S606). When the service providing server 201 receives the publication request, the number of charts that can be published is limited in the present embodiment, and therefore confirms whether the publication request is currently permitted (S607). In addition, when the disclosure request is permitted, the service providing server 201 secures an area in which the service providing server 201 sequentially creates display information and updates and stores it in the measurement value database in the hard disk 212. Next, the service providing server 201 changes the “private” display to the “public” display and displays a new “setting change” button next to the chart name (see FIG. 16). ) Screen data is transmitted to the measurer's PC 104 (S608). On the other hand, when the publication request is not permitted, the service providing server 201 transmits screen data of the updated publication setting screen displaying the fact to the measurer's PC 104. Note that the number of charts that can be disclosed may not be limited.
Next, when the measurer presses the “change setting” button added next to the name of the chart for which publication is requested, the browser displays a setting change screen for changing detailed settings such as the display mode of the chart to be published. A display request is transmitted to the service providing server 201 (S609). Upon receipt of the setting change screen display request, the service providing server 201 generates script information (blog parts, tags) that is information for dynamically linking the chart to the homepage or blog established by the measurer. (S610). Then, the service providing server 201 transmits screen data for displaying the setting change screen in which the script information is displayed in the text box to the measurer's PC 104 (S611) (see FIG. 17). In this embodiment, as described above, a chart is displayed as image data on a browser that browses the web page to which the script information is pasted.
The setting change screen displayed by the browser publishes a chart based on a plurality of measurement result information including the latest measurement result and past measurement result information, or the past for a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement result information. Select whether to display charts based on multiple measurement result information shifted to, select fields for display format (table only, table and graph, etc.), input field for arbitrary additional characters such as measurement location, display format ( A character font / size / color selection field, a background selection field, and the like may be included. Here, when it is selected on the setting change screen that the chart based on the plurality of measurement result information including the latest measurement result and the past measurement result information is selected, the predetermined information secured in the hard disk 212 is stored. In this area, display information for displaying the latest chart is sequentially updated and stored. On the other hand, when it is selected to release a chart based on a plurality of measurement result information shifted in the past by a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement result information on the setting change screen, it is secured in the hard disk 212. In the predetermined area, display information for displaying past charts for the predetermined period designated on the setting change screen with respect to the latest chart is sequentially updated and stored. The script information specifies the predetermined storage area in which the display information is stored.
When the measurer inputs necessary information on the setting change screen and presses the “save (or registration)” button, the browser transmits the input information to the service providing server 201 (S612).
The service providing server 201 confirms the received setting contents, and if there is no problem, registers the setting contents in a predetermined storage area (setting value database) in the hard disk 212 (S613).
Here, the chart disclosure setting has been described as a continuation of the processing of FIGS. 6 and 7, but the processing of S406 to S418 of FIG. 6 and / or the processing of FIG. Of course, it is possible to perform only the setting process.
5). Publish to web page
FIG. 9 shows the latest measurement result information by the actual terminal 112, the past measurement result information by the virtual terminal, or the latest measurement result information and / or the past measurement on the web page (homepage or blog) opened by the measurer. It is a sequence diagram of an example of the process which discloses the chart which shows result information, and / or the chart which is a table.
Here, a case where the measurer stores a web page for publishing measurement result information in the information disclosure server 401 (FIG. 2) that is a web server managed by the Internet provider will be described as an example. However, the information disclosure server 401 may be managed by the measurer's confidence.
For example, when the measurer requests the service providing server 201 to change the public setting by pressing the “change setting” button on the browser of the PC 104 in S414 in FIG. 6, the service providing server 201 executes the script in S415 in FIG. Information (blog parts, tags) is generated, and a setting change screen including the script information is displayed on the browser in S416 of FIG. The same applies to the processing of S509, S510, and S511 of FIG. 7 or the processing of S609, S610, and S611 of FIG.
The measurer copies the script information displayed in the text box in the setting change screen thus displayed on the browser on the browser (S701). Then, the measurer pastes the copied script information at a predetermined location on his / her web page for displaying the measurement result information separately displayed on the browser, and inputs an instruction to confirm it. Thereby, the web page data including the script information is transmitted to the information disclosure server 401 (S702). The information disclosure server 401 stores the web page data including the received script information in a predetermined area (web content storage area allocated to the measurer) in the hard disk 412 (S703).
When a viewer accesses a web page of a measurer established on the information disclosure server 401 by a browser of the browser of the PC 301, web page data on which script information (blog parts, tags) is posted from the information disclosure server 401. Is transmitted to the PC 301 of the viewer (S704). When the browser of the browser PC 301 processes and displays the received web page data, the browser transmits a measurement result information display request specified by the script information to the service providing server 201 according to the script information ( S705). More specifically, as described above, the browser of the viewer's PC 301 is successively updated and stored in a predetermined area in the hard disk 212 of the service providing server 201 specified by the script information. Read the display information for displaying the result information. That is, the browser of the browser PC 301 requests the service providing server 201 to transmit the display information. Then, the service providing server 201 transmits display information for displaying the measurement result information requested to be transmitted according to the script information to the viewer's PC 301 (S706). As a result, the measurement result information is displayed on the web page of the measurer displayed on the browser of the browser PC 301. In this embodiment, this display information is sequentially generated and stored as image data in the service providing server 201 in accordance with the predetermined format set by the above-described public setting process.
In this way, the measurer makes a setting for publishing the measurement result information in the service providing server 201 and associates the script information for dynamically linking the data to be published on his / her web page. Each time the web page is accessed, dynamically linked measurement result information is sequentially updated and displayed. The measurement result information to be disclosed may be all or at least one of the latest measurement result information by the actual terminal 112, the past measurement result information by the virtual terminal, and the chart.
For example, FIG. 21 shows an example of a screen display in which the measurer discloses the latest hot spring temperature and the hot spring temperature at the same time on the previous day on his home page. Further, FIG. 22 shows an example of a screen display on which a chart showing the temperature change of the hot springs in a recent predetermined period including the latest hot spring temperature is also posted. The viewer can perceive the state of the hot spring from the recent fluctuations in the temperature of the hot spring. In addition, when the latest local temperature and the past (for example, the previous day) temperature (and a chart showing recent temperature fluctuations) are disclosed, the viewer can also predict the local temperature change. .
In this embodiment, the case where the temperature of the hot spring is measured and disclosed is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. By using various measuring devices as described above, measurement result information of various measurement objects can be disclosed.

 次に、本発明に係る他の実施例について説明する。本実施例において、実施例1のものと同一又はそれに相当する機能、構成を有する要素には同一の符号を付して詳しい説明は省略する。
 実施例1では、測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報は、イメージデータとして公開されるものとしたが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報は、測定値情報に基づく文字コードデータ(テキストデータ)として公開することもできる。
 サービス提供サーバ201が、測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報をテキストデータで提供することによって、測定者側で測定結果情報を公開するウェブページを構築する際に、当該テキストデータを用いて任意の演算を行わせた結果を、測定結果情報として公開することが可能となる。勿論、当該テキストデータが示す測定結果情報をウェブページでそのまま表示することもできる。測定者側でウェブページに組み込む、サービス提供サーバ201から提供された表示情報を処理するプログラムは、JAVASCRIPTなどの任意の適当なプログラム言語によって作成することができる。
 例えば、温度計の複数の端子により測定された屋外の温度と屋内の温度との温度差から、断熱効率を計算したり、空調に要する電気代などを求めたりして、これを公開するような場合を考える。この場合、測定者側で、ウェブページにJAVASCRIPTなどの任意の適当なプログラム言語によって、当該断熱効率や電気代を計算する演算式、演算結果の表示方法・態様・書式などの指定をすることができる。そして、そして当該演算に必要な温度計による測定結果情報として、サービス提供サーバ201から表示情報として送信されるテキストデータを用いることをプログラムすることができる。これにより、そのウェブページを閲覧する閲覧者のPC301のブラウザ上には、測定者側でウェブページに組み込んだプログラムによって、サービス提供サーバ201から送信された表示情報が処理された後の結果である、断熱効率や電気代などが、所定の表示方法・態様・書式にて表示される。
 本実施例においてテキストデータを公開するための公開設定は、実施例1において説明したイメージデータを公開するための公開設定と概略同様であるが、公開設定処理における設定変更画面、及び当該画面による設定処理が異なる。
 図18は、本実施例による、現実の端子112による最新の測定結果情報、又は仮想端子による過去の測定結果情報の公開設定処理における設定変更画面の一例を示す。この設定変更画面は、実施例1にて説明した図6のS416、図7のS511において測定者のPC104のブラウザ上に表示される、図15の設定変更画面の替わりに表示されるものである。本実施例では、測定値情報に基づくテキストデータを公開する型式として、斯界にて公知のJSON型式を用いている。JSON型式によれば、測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報は、コンピュータが解読して演算処理に使用することのできるデータとして公開することができる。
 本実施例では、設定変更画面には、イメージデータを公開するか、テキストデータを公開するかを選択するための、公開方法の選択欄が設けられている。そして、設定変更画面において「画像」を選択した場合は、実施例1の処理と同様となる(図18)。
 一方、設定画面において「JSON型式」を選択すると、或いは選択した後「保存(或いは登録)」ボタンを押下すると、測定者のPC104のブラウザは更新された設定変更画面の送信要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信し、それによって図19に示すような更新された設定変更画面が測定者のPC104に送信されてブラウザ上で表示される。この画面には、イメージデータの公開の場合に設けられていた表示形式、書式などの欄は設けられていない。又、イメージデータの公開の場合と同様、当該設定変更画面のテキストボックス内には、測定者側でウェブページの構築の際に用いるスクリプト情報(データ取得用URL情報)が表示される。この情報は、イメージデータの公開の場合と同様、サービス提供サーバ201がJSON型式にて公開すべきテキストデータを含む表示情報を逐次に更新して記憶している、サービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212の所定の領域を指定するものである。尚、上記設定変更画面で最新の測定結果情報を公開することが選択された場合、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域には、最新の測定結果情報(本実施例では、測定値情報の生データであるが、平均化処理、最大値・最小値選択処理などの所定の処理がされた測定値情報の代表値であってもよい。)を表示するための表示情報が、逐次に更新して記憶されている。一方、上記設定変更画面で過去の測定結果情報を公開することが選択された場合、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域には、過去の測定結果情報(過去の測定値情報の生データ、或いは平均化処理、最大値・最小値選択処理などの所定の処理がされた過去の測定値情報の代表値)を表示するための表示情報が、逐次に更新して記憶される。例えば、設定変更画面(図19)のテキストボックスD1内に表示されるスクリプト情報は、次のようなものである。

 又、図20は、本実施例による、チャートの公開設定処理における設定変更画面の一例を示す。この設定変更画面は、実施例1にて説明した図8のS611において測定者のPC104のブラウザ上に表示される、図17の設定変更画面の替わりに表示されるものである。尚、同図は、その設定変更画面上の、公開方法の選択欄の「JSON型式」を選択したことによって表示されるものを示している。「画像」を選択した場合は、公開方法の選択欄が設けられていることを除いて、図17のものと同様なので図示は省略する。
 本実施例では、チャートの公開をテキストデータによって行う場合、一群のテキストデータで構成されたテーブルデータを、斯界にて公知のJSON型式によって公開する。この一群のテキストデータは、図8のS603と同様の処理により公開することを選択したチャートを構成する複数のプロットに係る測定結果情報から成る。例えば、サービス提供サーバ201は、最新から最大プロット数の範囲の過去までの範囲の日時と温度との複数のテキストデータの組み合わせから成るテーブルデータを、表示情報としてまとめて送信することができる。テーブルデータを構成する複数のテキストデータは、測定者側が構築するウェブページにおいて、任意の演算処理を施した一群のデータによる表やグラフを表示するなどの1つの目的のために総合して用いられてもよいし、それぞれのテキストデータが複数の目的に別個に用いられてもよい。
 チャートのイメージデータの公開の場合と同様、当該設定変更画面のテキストボックス内には、測定者側でウェブページの構築の際に用いるスクリプト情報(データ取得用URL情報)が表示される。この情報は、イメージデータの公開の場合と同様、サービス提供サーバ201がJSON型式にて公開すべきテーブルデータを含む表示情報を逐次に更新して記憶している、サービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212の所定の領域を指定するものである。尚、チャートのイメージデータの公開の場合と同様、ブラウザによって表示される設定変更画面は、最新の測定結果と過去の測定結果情報とを含む複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートのテキストデータを公開するか、最新の測定結果情報に対して所定期間だけ過去にシフトさせた複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートのテキストデータを公開するかの選択欄を含んでいてもよい。ここで、上記設定変更画面で最新の測定結果と過去の測定結果情報とを含む複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートのテキストデータを公開することが選択された場合には、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域には、最新のチャートのテキストデータを含む表示情報(最新の測定結果情報と過去の測定結果情報から成るプロット群に係る一群のテキストデータ(テーブルデータ))が逐次に更新して記憶される。一方、上記設定変更画面で最新の測定結果情報に対して所定期間だけ過去にシフトさせた複数の測定結果情報に基づくチャートのテキストデータを公開することが選択された場合には、ハードディスク212内に確保された上記所定の領域には、最新のチャートに対して上記設定変更画面で指定された所定期間だけ過去のチャートのテキストデータを含む表示情報(過去の測定結果情報から成るプロット群に係る一群のテキストデータ(テーブルデータ))が逐次に更新して記憶される。例えば、設定変更画面(図20)のテキストボックスD1内に表示されるスクリプト情報は、次のようなものである。

Next, another embodiment according to the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, elements having the same functions or configurations as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
In the first embodiment, the display information for displaying the measurement result information is disclosed as image data. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Display information for displaying the measurement result information can also be disclosed as character code data (text data) based on the measurement value information.
When the service providing server 201 provides the display information for displaying the measurement result information as text data, when constructing a web page for publishing the measurement result information on the measurer side, the service providing server 201 uses the text data to The result of performing the above calculation can be disclosed as measurement result information. Of course, the measurement result information indicated by the text data can be displayed as it is on the web page. The program for processing the display information provided from the service providing server 201 to be incorporated in the web page on the measurer side can be created by any appropriate program language such as JAVASCRIPT.
For example, calculate the heat insulation efficiency from the temperature difference between the outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature measured by multiple terminals of the thermometer, calculate the electricity bill required for air conditioning, etc., and disclose this Think about the case. In this case, the measurement side may specify the arithmetic expression for calculating the heat insulation efficiency and the electricity bill, the display method / mode / format of the calculation result, etc. on the web page by using any appropriate program language such as JAVASCRIPT. it can. Then, it is possible to program to use text data transmitted as display information from the service providing server 201 as measurement result information by the thermometer necessary for the calculation. As a result, the display information transmitted from the service providing server 201 is processed on the browser of the PC 301 of the viewer who browses the web page by the program incorporated in the web page on the measurer side. The heat insulation efficiency and the electricity bill are displayed in a predetermined display method / mode / format.
The public setting for publishing the text data in this embodiment is substantially the same as the public setting for publishing the image data described in the first embodiment. However, the setting change screen in the public setting process and the setting on the screen are set. Processing is different.
FIG. 18 shows an example of a setting change screen in the public setting process of the latest measurement result information by the actual terminal 112 or the past measurement result information by the virtual terminal according to the present embodiment. This setting change screen is displayed instead of the setting change screen of FIG. 15 displayed on the browser of the measurer's PC 104 in S416 of FIG. 6 and S511 of FIG. 7 described in the first embodiment. . In the present embodiment, a JSON model known in the art is used as a model for publishing text data based on measurement value information. According to the JSON model, display information for displaying measurement result information can be disclosed as data that can be decoded by a computer and used for arithmetic processing.
In the present embodiment, the setting change screen is provided with a disclosure method selection field for selecting whether to disclose image data or text data. When “image” is selected on the setting change screen, the processing is the same as that in the first embodiment (FIG. 18).
On the other hand, when “JSON type” is selected on the setting screen, or when the “save (or registration)” button is pressed after selection, the browser of the measurer's PC 104 sends a transmission request for the updated setting change screen to the service providing server 201. Thus, an updated setting change screen as shown in FIG. 19 is transmitted to the measurer's PC 104 and displayed on the browser. This screen does not have columns such as a display format and a format that are provided in the case of releasing image data. Similarly to the case of publishing image data, script information (data acquisition URL information) used when a web page is constructed on the measurer side is displayed in the text box of the setting change screen. This information is stored in the hard disk 212 of the service providing server 201 that sequentially updates and stores display information including text data that the service providing server 201 should disclose in the JSON format, as in the case of publishing image data. A predetermined area is designated. In addition, when it is selected that the latest measurement result information is disclosed on the setting change screen, the predetermined area secured in the hard disk 212 has the latest measurement result information (in this embodiment, measurement value information). Display information for displaying the measured value information that has undergone predetermined processing such as averaging processing, maximum value / minimum value selection processing, etc.) Updated and stored. On the other hand, when it is selected that the past measurement result information is disclosed on the setting change screen, the predetermined area secured in the hard disk 212 includes past measurement result information (raw data of past measurement value information). Alternatively, display information for displaying (representative values of past measurement value information subjected to predetermined processing such as averaging processing, maximum value / minimum value selection processing) is sequentially updated and stored. For example, the script information displayed in the text box D1 on the setting change screen (FIG. 19) is as follows.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000003
FIG. 20 shows an example of a setting change screen in the chart disclosure setting process according to this embodiment. This setting change screen is displayed instead of the setting change screen of FIG. 17 displayed on the browser of the measurer's PC 104 in S611 of FIG. 8 described in the first embodiment. This figure shows what is displayed when “JSON type” is selected in the disclosure method selection field on the setting change screen. When “Image” is selected, since it is the same as that of FIG. 17 except that a disclosure method selection field is provided, illustration is omitted.
In this embodiment, when the chart is disclosed as text data, table data composed of a group of text data is disclosed in the JSON format known in the field. This group of text data includes measurement result information relating to a plurality of plots constituting a chart that is selected to be disclosed by the same processing as S603 in FIG. For example, the service providing server 201 can collectively transmit, as display information, table data including a combination of a plurality of text data of date and temperature in the range from the latest to the maximum number of plots in the past. A plurality of text data composing the table data is used collectively for one purpose such as displaying a table or graph with a group of data subjected to arbitrary calculation processing on the web page constructed by the measurer. Alternatively, each text data may be used separately for a plurality of purposes.
As in the case of publishing chart image data, script information (data acquisition URL information) used when the web page is constructed on the measurer side is displayed in the text box of the setting change screen. This information is stored in the hard disk 212 of the service providing server 201, which sequentially updates and stores display information including table data that the service providing server 201 should disclose in the JSON format, as in the case of publishing image data. A predetermined area is designated. As in the case of publishing chart image data, the setting change screen displayed by the browser publishes text data of the chart based on a plurality of measurement result information including the latest measurement result and past measurement result information. Alternatively, it may include a selection column for publishing the text data of the chart based on a plurality of measurement result information shifted in the past by a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement result information. Here, when it is selected that the text data of the chart based on a plurality of measurement result information including the latest measurement result and past measurement result information is selected on the setting change screen, it is secured in the hard disk 212. In addition, display information including a text data of the latest chart (a group of text data (table data) related to a plot group including the latest measurement result information and past measurement result information) is sequentially updated in the predetermined area. Is memorized. On the other hand, if it is selected on the setting change screen that the text data of the chart based on a plurality of measurement result information shifted in the past by a predetermined period with respect to the latest measurement result information is selected, In the reserved predetermined area, display information including a past chart text data for a predetermined period specified on the setting change screen with respect to the latest chart (a group of plot groups including past measurement result information) Text data (table data)) is sequentially updated and stored. For example, the script information displayed in the text box D1 on the setting change screen (FIG. 20) is as follows.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000004
In the present embodiment, the network interface 214 of the service providing server 201 as a display information transmitting unit transmits display information including text data (or table data composed of text data).
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved, and there is an advantage that the degree of freedom of disclosure of measurement result information on the measurer side is increased.
 次に、本発明に係る他の実施例について説明する。本実施例において、実施例1、2のものと同一又はそれに相当する機能、構成を有する要素には同一の符号を付して詳しい説明は省略する。
 実施例2では、サービス提供サーバ201は、測定結果情報を公開するための表示情報として、記録された測定値情報に基づくテキストデータを送信した。実施例2では、この表示情報は、最新の前記測定結果情報を示すテキストデータ、最新に対して所定時間だけ過去の測定結果情報を示すテキストデータ、又は最新の測定結果及び/又は最新に対して所定時間だけ過去の測定結果情報を示すテキストデータで構成されるテーブルデータであった。
 これに対して、本実施例では、サービス提供サーバ201は、所定の条件に合致する測定結果情報を抽出して公開することを可能とする抽出公開設定機能を有する。
 図23は、抽出公開設定処理における設定変更画面の一例を示す。この設定変更画面は、図6のS401~S405と同様の処理によって、測定者が抽出公開設定画面の表示要求をサービス提供サーバ201に送信すると、測定者のPC104のブラウザ上に表示される。
 抽出公開設定画面には、例えば、サービス提供サーバ201に既に登録されている端子112の一覧が表示されている。この端子112の一覧の端子名と関係付けて、抽出公開に用いる測定結果情報のソースとなる端子112を選択するための選択欄(チェックボックスなど)が設けられている。又、端子112の一覧の端子名と関係付けて、測定値情報の生データの前処理(平均化処理、最大値・最小値選択処理、いずれかの生データ(例えば期間の最初又は最後の生データ)をそのまま使用することなど)の選択欄が設けられている。更に、抽出公開設定画面には、各端子112の測定値情報を集計する期間(15分、時、日、月など)である集計単位を設定する欄が設けられている。
 そして、抽出公開設定画面には、所定の条件に合致する測定結果情報を公開するための抽出条件を設定する欄が設けられている。抽出条件設定欄には、新たに1つの条件を設けるための条件選択欄(チェックボックスなど)が設けられている。又、当該条件選択欄に関係付けられて、端子指定欄と、条件式欄と、値入力欄と、が設けられている。端子指定欄は、上記端子112の一覧で選択した端子名がプルダウンメニューで選択できるようになっている。又、条件式欄は、「>(より大きい)」、「≧(以上)」、「<>(範囲内に入らない)」、「<(より小さい)」、「≦(以下)」、「Not<>(範囲内に入る)」、「=(等しい)」のいずれかの条件式をプルダウンメニューで選択できるようになっている。又、値入力欄には任意の数値を入力できるようになっている。ここで、値入力欄の変わりに上記端子指定欄と同様の端子指定欄を表示できるようにして、指定された端子の測定結果情報を固定値と比較する替わりに、指定された端子間の測定結果情報同士を比較できるようにしてもよい。更に、各条件間の論理積又は論理和の論理演算を指定するAND/OR欄(ラジオボックス)が設けられている(図中AND/OR欄と同行で指定された条件と直上の条件との論理演算を指定する)。
 尚、抽出公開画面において、抽出公開に用い得る測定値情報の取得日時(測定日時)の期間を限定できるようにしてもよい。この期間は、ある年月日から他の年月日までとする固定の期間であってもよいし、例えば最新の測定値情報の日時から一定期間さかのぼった期間とする動的な期間であってもよい。又、このように抽出公開に用い得る測定日時を設定できるようにすることにより、上述のような測定結果情報の数値の大小関係の条件を設定せずに、特定の測定日時又は特定の測定日時期間内の測定結果情報を抽出することもできる。
 例えば、図23に示すように、抽出公開設定画面において、端子112として温度計である「端子1」と、湿度計である「端子2」とを選択する。又、測定値情報の生データの前処理として「平均化」を選択する。又、集計期間として「日」を選択する。又、抽出条件として、「端子1」が「10(℃)より高い」(条件式「>」、値「10(℃)」)、且つ、「端子2」が「30(%)より高い」(条件式「>」、値「30(%)」)を選択する。そして、「保存(或いは登録)」ボタンを押下すると、サービス提供サーバ201は、当該「端子1」、「端子2」の測定値情報の抽出公開を可能とする諸設定の情報を、ハードディスク212内の所定の領域(設定値データベース)に登録する。又、このときサービス提供サーバ201は、各端子の測定値情報を設定された集計期間(ここでは「日」)毎に、設定された前処理(ここでは「平均化」)を施した集計データを逐次に格納する領域をハードディスク212内の所定の領域(測定値データベース)に確保する。
 又、実施例1、2における公開設定と同様に、抽出公開設定画面のテキストボックス内には、測定者側でウェブページの構築の際に用いるスクリプト情報(取得用URL)が表示される。このスクリプト情報は、実施例1、2と同様に、先ず、サービス提供サーバ201が抽出公開すべき集計データを逐次に格納している、サービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212の所定の領域を指定する情報(記憶領域指定情報)を含んでいる。又、本実施例では、このスクリプト情報(取得用URL)は、更に、上述のようにして設定された所定の条件に合致する測定結果情報を抽出して公開するための、当該条件を示す抽出条件情報を含んでいる。尚、抽出公開設定画面で、抽出公開に用いる測定結果情報のソースとなる端子112を選択することによって、当該抽出公開設定機能において設定可能な全ての集計単位毎に、設定可能な全ての前処理方法を施した集計データを、それぞれハードディスク212内の所定の領域(測定値データベース)に逐次に記憶させていってもよい。例えば、当該抽出公開設定機能において、「日」、「月」のいずれか集計単位で集計された、測定値情報の平均値、最小値、最大値、生データのいずれかの集計データから抽出して公開できる場合には、1「日」毎に集計した、平均値、最小値、最大値、生データ(例えば、期間の最初又は最後の値)の全てを上記所定の領域に逐次に記憶させていくと共に、1「月」毎に集計した、平均値、最小値、最大値、生データ(例えば、期間の最初又は最後の値)の全てを別途上記所定の領域に逐次に記憶させていく。この場合、スクリプト情報は、上記所定の領域を指定する情報として、特に、上記所定の領域に逐次に記憶されている集計データのうち、設定された集計単位毎に設定された前処理をして集計されている集計データを指定する情報を含んでいる。例えば、抽出公開設定画面(図23)のテキストボックス内に表示されるスクリプト情報(取得用URL)は、次のようなものである。本実施例では、この取得用URLは、符号化された記憶領域指定情報と抽出条件情報とを含んでいる。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000005
 当該スクリプト情報が組み込まれたウェブページが閲覧されると、当該スクリプト情報によって指定される測定結果情報の表示要求がサービス提供サーバ201に送信される。この表示要求情報は、所定の条件に合致する測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報を要求する抽出条件情報を含んでいる。これにより、この表示要求情報を受信したサービス提供サーバ201のCPU211は、上述のようにサービス提供サーバ201のハードディスク212の上記所定の領域に逐次に格納されている集計データから、当該抽出条件情報の示す所定の条件に合致する測定結果情報を表示するための表示情報を抽出する。この表示情報は、単数の測定結果情報のテキストデータであってもよいし、複数の測定結果情報のテキストデータで構成されたテーブルデータであってもよい。そして、サービス提供サーバ201は、この表示情報を、閲覧者のPC301のブラウザに送信する。
 このような抽出公開設定機能によれば、測定者側で測定結果情報を公開するウェブページを構築する際に、サービス提供サーバ201から送信される所定の条件に合致する測定結果情報を示すテキストデータのみを用いて任意の演算を行わせた結果をウェブページ上に表示したり、或いはそのテキストデータが示す測定結果情報をそのままウェブページ上に表示するようにしたりできる。例えば、測定者がスキー場の管理者であり、人工雪の生成に適した所定条件の温度及び湿度であった日数が過去1ヶ月間に何日あったかを、当該測定者の開設するウェブページ上で逐次に公開する場合を考える。この場合、測定者は、抽出公開設定画面において温度が所定値以下で、且つ、湿度が所定値以下の条件に合致する測定結果情報を抽出して公開するように設定する。そして、この抽出された測定結果情報から日数を算出して表示するようにウェブページをプログラムする。
 又、任意に、上述のような符号化された記憶領域指定情報と抽出条件情報とを含む取得用URLに加えて又は替えて、スクリプト情報として、抽出公開設定画面のテキストボックス内に、設定した抽出条件を人間が認識できる形式で表した部分を有するスクリプト情報(条件式用URL)を表示させることができる。例えば、抽出公開設定画面(図23)のテキストボックス内に表示されるスクリプト情報(条件式用URL)は、次のようなものである。本実施例では、このスクリプト情報(条件式用URL)は、上述の取得用URLと同じ符号化された記憶領域指定情報と抽出条件情報とを含んでいる。そして、このスクリプト情報(条件式用URL)は、更に、上述の取得用URLの符号化された抽出条件情報が示す抽出条件を上書きする抽出条件を、人間が認識できる形式で表した部分(上書き条件部分)を有する。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000006
 上記条件式用URLの一例は、上記取得用URLの一例と同様の部分に加えて、「端子1」の「平均値(ave)」が「10(℃)より高い(条件式「>」、値「10(℃)」)」、且つ、「端子2」の「平均値(ave)」が「30(%)より高い(条件式「>」、値「30(%)」)」という抽出条件を人間が認識できる形式で表した部分(上書き条件部分)を有する。本実施例では、サービス提供サーバ201のCPU211は、抽出条件としてこの上書き条件部分が示す抽出条件を優先して適用するようになっている。従って、測定者は、上述のようにして取得した条件式用URLを参考にして、例えば、上書き条件部分における「値の部分」である「10(℃)」、「30(%)」や、「条件式の部分」である「>」などを書き換えることで、例えば、ウェブページを構築する際に抽出条件を変更することができる。尚、条件式用URLは、上書き条件部分として、上述のような「値の部分」や「条件式の部分」に加えて又はこれに替えて、「抽出公開に用い得る測定値情報の取得日時(測定日時)の期間の条件を指定する部分」を有していてもよい。
 又、測定者は、上述のようにして取得した条件式用URLを参考にして、例えば、上書き条件部分における値の部分である「10(℃)」、「30(%)」や、「条件式の部分」である「>」を、ウェブページ上で任意に書き換えられるようにプログラムすることができる。これにより、閲覧者がそのウェブページ上で抽出条件を任意に入力することができ、その抽出条件に合致する測定結果情報に基づいた表示を当該ウェブページ上で行うことができる。尚、測定者は、条件式用URLの上書き条件部分として、「抽出公開に用い得る測定値情報の取得日時(測定日時)の期間の条件を指定する部分」を設け、ウェブページ上で任意に指定できるようにプログラムすることができる。これにより、閲覧者がそのウェブページ上で任意の日時又は任意の日時期間の条件を入力することができ、その条件に合致する測定結果情報に基づいた表示を当該ウェブページ上で行うことができる。
 以上、本実施例によれば、実施例1、2と同様の効果を達成し得ると共に、蓄積した測定結果情報から、測定者や閲覧者が指定する抽出条件に合致するものを抽出して公開することができるので、公開態様の自由度が更に増すという利点がある。
Next, another embodiment according to the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, elements having the same or equivalent functions and configurations as those in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
In the second embodiment, the service providing server 201 transmits text data based on the recorded measurement value information as display information for disclosing the measurement result information. In the second embodiment, the display information includes text data indicating the latest measurement result information, text data indicating past measurement result information for a predetermined time with respect to the latest, or latest measurement result and / or latest. The table data is composed of text data indicating past measurement result information for a predetermined time.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the service providing server 201 has an extraction / publication setting function that makes it possible to extract and publish measurement result information that matches a predetermined condition.
FIG. 23 shows an example of a setting change screen in the extraction disclosure setting process. This setting change screen is displayed on the browser of the measurer's PC 104 when the measurer sends a request to display the extract / publish setting screen to the service providing server 201 by the same processing as S401 to S405 in FIG.
For example, a list of terminals 112 already registered in the service providing server 201 is displayed on the extraction disclosure setting screen. A selection column (such as a check box) for selecting the terminal 112 that is the source of the measurement result information used for extraction disclosure is provided in association with the terminal name in the list of terminals 112. In addition, in connection with the terminal names in the list of terminals 112, preprocessing of raw data of measurement value information (average processing, maximum / minimum value selection processing, any raw data (for example, raw data at the beginning or end of a period) Data) is used as it is, etc.). Further, the extraction disclosure setting screen is provided with a column for setting a totaling unit that is a period (15 minutes, hour, day, month, etc.) for totaling the measurement value information of each terminal 112.
The extraction / publication setting screen includes a column for setting extraction conditions for publishing measurement result information that matches a predetermined condition. In the extraction condition setting field, a condition selection field (such as a check box) for newly providing one condition is provided. In addition, a terminal designation field, a conditional expression field, and a value input field are provided in association with the condition selection field. In the terminal designation column, the terminal name selected from the list of terminals 112 can be selected from a pull-down menu. In the conditional expression column, “> (greater than)”, “≧ (greater than)”, “<> (does not fall within the range)”, “<(less than)”, “≦ (less than)”, “ One of the conditional expressions “Not <> (within range)” and “= (equal)” can be selected from the pull-down menu. An arbitrary numerical value can be input in the value input column. Here, instead of comparing the value input field, a terminal specification field similar to the above terminal specification field can be displayed, and instead of comparing the measurement result information of the specified terminal with a fixed value, measurement between the specified terminals is possible. You may enable it to compare result information. In addition, an AND / OR column (radio box) for designating a logical product or logical sum between conditions is provided (the condition specified on the same line as the AND / OR column in the figure and the condition immediately above). Specify logical operations).
In the extraction / publication screen, the period of acquisition of measurement value information (measurement date / time) that can be used for extraction / publication may be limited. This period may be a fixed period from a certain date to another date, for example, a dynamic period that lasts a certain period from the date and time of the latest measurement information. Also good. In addition, by making it possible to set the measurement date and time that can be used for extraction and disclosure in this way, it is possible to set a specific measurement date and time or a specific measurement date and time without setting the above-described numerical magnitude relationship condition of the measurement result information. Measurement result information within the period can also be extracted.
For example, as shown in FIG. 23, on the extraction disclosure setting screen, “terminal 1” that is a thermometer and “terminal 2” that is a hygrometer are selected as terminals 112. Also, “averaging” is selected as preprocessing of raw data of measurement value information. In addition, “day” is selected as the totaling period. Further, as the extraction conditions, “terminal 1” is “higher than 10 (° C.)” (conditional expression “>”, value “10 (° C.)”), and “terminal 2” is “higher than 30 (%)”. (Conditional expression “>”, value “30 (%)”) is selected. When the “save (or registration)” button is pressed, the service providing server 201 stores information on various settings in the hard disk 212 that enables extraction and disclosure of the measurement value information of the “terminal 1” and “terminal 2”. Registered in a predetermined area (set value database). At this time, the service providing server 201 performs the set preprocessing (here, “averaging”) for each set counting period (here “day”) for the measurement value information of each terminal. Are sequentially stored in a predetermined area (measurement value database) in the hard disk 212.
Similarly to the public settings in the first and second embodiments, script information (acquisition URL) used when the web page is constructed on the measurer side is displayed in the text box of the extraction public setting screen. As in the first and second embodiments, the script information is information that designates a predetermined area of the hard disk 212 of the service providing server 201 that sequentially stores the aggregated data that the service providing server 201 should extract and disclose. (Storage area designation information). In this embodiment, the script information (acquisition URL) is further extracted to indicate the measurement conditions information for extracting and publishing the measurement result information that matches the predetermined conditions set as described above. Contains condition information. In addition, by selecting the terminal 112 that is the source of the measurement result information used for extraction disclosure on the extraction disclosure setting screen, all the preprocessing that can be set for each totaling unit that can be set in the extraction disclosure setting function. The total data subjected to the method may be sequentially stored in a predetermined area (measurement value database) in the hard disk 212. For example, in the extraction disclosure setting function, the average value, minimum value, maximum value, or raw data of the measurement value information that is aggregated in either the “day” or “month” aggregation unit is extracted. If the data can be disclosed, the average value, minimum value, maximum value, and raw data (for example, the first or last value of the period) totaled every 1 day are sequentially stored in the predetermined area. In addition, all of the average value, minimum value, maximum value, and raw data (for example, the first or last value of the period) totaled every 1 month are sequentially stored in the predetermined area separately. . In this case, the script information is preliminarily set for each set aggregation unit among the aggregation data sequentially stored in the predetermined area as information for designating the predetermined area. Contains information that specifies the aggregated data being aggregated. For example, the script information (acquisition URL) displayed in the text box of the extraction / publication setting screen (FIG. 23) is as follows. In this embodiment, the acquisition URL includes encoded storage area designation information and extraction condition information.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000005
When a web page in which the script information is incorporated is browsed, a display request for measurement result information specified by the script information is transmitted to the service providing server 201. This display request information includes extraction condition information for requesting display information for displaying measurement result information that matches a predetermined condition. As a result, the CPU 211 of the service providing server 201 that has received the display request information obtains the extraction condition information from the aggregated data sequentially stored in the predetermined area of the hard disk 212 of the service providing server 201 as described above. Display information for displaying measurement result information that matches a predetermined condition is extracted. This display information may be a single piece of measurement result information text data, or may be table data composed of a plurality of pieces of measurement result information text data. Then, the service providing server 201 transmits this display information to the browser of the browser PC 301.
According to such an extraction disclosure setting function, text data indicating measurement result information that matches a predetermined condition transmitted from the service providing server 201 when a web page that discloses measurement result information on the measurer side is constructed. As a result, it is possible to display on the web page the result of performing an arbitrary calculation using only, or display the measurement result information indicated by the text data as it is on the web page. For example, if the measurer is a ski resort manager and the number of days that the temperature and humidity were in the predetermined conditions suitable for the generation of artificial snow, the number of days in the past month is displayed on the web page established by the measurer. Let's consider the case where the information is released sequentially. In this case, the measurer sets to extract and publish measurement result information that matches the condition that the temperature is equal to or lower than the predetermined value and the humidity is equal to or lower than the predetermined value on the extraction and disclosure setting screen. Then, the web page is programmed to calculate and display the number of days from the extracted measurement result information.
Optionally, in addition to or instead of the acquisition URL including the encoded storage area designation information and the extraction condition information as described above, the script information is set in the text box of the extraction / publication setting screen. It is possible to display script information (conditional expression URL) having a portion in which extraction conditions are expressed in a form that can be recognized by a human. For example, the script information (conditional expression URL) displayed in the text box of the extraction / publication setting screen (FIG. 23) is as follows. In this embodiment, the script information (conditional expression URL) includes the same encoded storage area designation information and extraction condition information as the above-described acquisition URL. This script information (conditional expression URL) further includes a part (overwriting) that represents the extraction condition overwriting the extraction condition indicated by the encoded extraction condition information of the acquisition URL described above in a form that can be recognized by humans. Condition part).
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-M000006
In addition to the same part as the above example of the URL for acquisition, the example of the conditional expression URL has an “average value (ave)” of “terminal 1” higher than “10 (° C.)” (conditional expression “>”, Value “10 (° C.)”) and “terminal 2” “average value (ave)” is higher than “30 (%) (conditional expression“> ”, value“ 30 (%) ”)” It has a part (overwrite condition part) that expresses the condition in a form that can be recognized by humans. In the present embodiment, the CPU 211 of the service providing server 201 preferentially applies the extraction condition indicated by the overwrite condition portion as the extraction condition. Therefore, the measurer refers to the conditional expression URL acquired as described above, for example, “10 (° C.)”, “30 (%)” that is “value portion” in the overwrite condition portion, By rewriting “>” as the “conditional expression part”, for example, the extraction condition can be changed when a web page is constructed. The URL for the conditional expression is, as an overwriting condition part, in addition to or instead of the “value part” and “conditional expression part” as described above, “acquisition date and time of measurement value information that can be used for extraction disclosure” It may have a “part for designating the condition of the period of (measurement date)”.
Further, the measurer refers to the conditional expression URL acquired as described above, for example, “10 (° C.)”, “30 (%)”, which is the value portion in the overwrite condition portion, and “condition” It is possible to program “>”, which is the “expression part”, so that it can be rewritten arbitrarily on the web page. Thereby, the viewer can arbitrarily input the extraction condition on the web page, and the display based on the measurement result information that matches the extraction condition can be performed on the web page. In addition, the measurer provides a “part for specifying the condition of the acquisition date and time (measurement date and time) of measurement value information that can be used for extraction and publication” as an overwriting condition part of the conditional expression URL, and can be arbitrarily set on the web page. Can be programmed to specify. Thereby, the viewer can input the condition of arbitrary date and time or arbitrary date and time period on the web page, and display based on the measurement result information that matches the condition can be performed on the web page. .
As described above, according to this embodiment, the same effects as those of Embodiments 1 and 2 can be achieved, and from the accumulated measurement result information, those that match the extraction conditions specified by the measurer and the viewer are extracted and disclosed. Therefore, there is an advantage that the degree of freedom of the disclosure mode is further increased.
