Abstract
Description
これらの技術では、サーバは、クライアントからマウス入力等による操作情報を受信すると、受信した操作情報に応じてクライアント用の画面の画面データを新たに作成してクライアントに送信する。そして、クライアントは、サーバから受信した画面データに基づいて、別の画面に表示を切り替えたり画像をスクロールして表示さる。従って、これらの技術では、ユーザがクライアントを操作をする度に、サーバとの通信処理が発生するため、クライアントに表示されている画面を切り替えたり、画像をスクロールして表示させる処理に時間がかかってしまうという課題があった。
具体的には、特許文献1では、サーバは、クライアント端末に送信した画像データを、この画像データの固有値(例えばハッシュ値)とともにテーブルに格納する。そして、クライアントに画像データを送信する際、サーバは、この画像データの固有値が既にテーブルに格納されているか否かを判別し、既に格納されている場合には、この画像データを送信せず、固有値のみを送信する。
施設内に設置された設備機器を管理する設備管理装置であって、
前記設備機器の管理用画面毎に、前記管理用画面を表示させるための画面データと、前記管理用画面上からなされた操作の内容と該操作による表示端末の動作内容とを対応付けた画面動作テーブルと、を記憶する画面記憶部と、
所定のタイミングで前記管理用画面に対応した、画面データと画面動作テーブルとを前記表示端末に送信する画面送信部と、
を備える。
本発明の実施形態1に係る設備管理システム1について説明する。設備管理システム1は、施設内に設置された設備機器を管理するシステムである。設備管理システム1は、図1に示すように、設備管理装置10と表示装置20とを備える。
運転状態データ121bは、各設備機器30から受信した、設備機器30の現在の運転状態(例えば空調機の場合は運転・停止状態や、冷房や暖房などの運転モード、設定温度、室内温度など)を示すデータである。設備機器管理部111は、定期的(例えば1分毎)に各設備機器30から運転状態データ121bを受信し、設備機器データ121に格納されている運転状態データ121bを最新のデータに更新する。
操作領域は、管理用画面内からタッチやクリック等の操作がなされた部分を示す。図5に示す画面動作テーブル122cの先頭のエントリの操作領域は、図3(A)に示す監視画面のスケジュールボタンB1の領域に対応する。同様に、2番目のエントリの操作領域は、監視画面の状態リストボタンB2の領域に対応する。また、3番目と4番目のエントリの操作領域は、監視画面の上スクロールボタンB3の領域に対応する。
操作区分は、操作領域に対してどのような種類の操作がなされたかを示し、「タッチ」や「連続押」や「ドラッグ」や「指で弾く」等が有るものとする。
