Abstract
Description
本発明は、日本国特許出願:特願2016-040429号(2016年03月02日出願)に基づくものであり、同出願の全記載内容は引用をもって本書に組み込み記載されているものとする。
本発明は、ネットワークシステム、制御装置、仮想ネットワークの構築方法及びプログラムに関し、特に、センサー等から取得したデータを取り扱うネットワークシステム、制御装置、仮想ネットワークの構築方法及びプログラムに関する。
続いて、本発明の第1の実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。図3は、本発明の第1の実施形態のネットワークシステムの構成を示す図である。図3を参照すると、第3のネットワーク401を介して、第1のネットワーク101aと、データセンタ201とが接続された構成が示されている。
続いて、ネットワークファンクション仮想化(以下、「NFV」)を用いてIoT-GWを構成するようにした本発明の第2の実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。図9は、本発明の第2の実施形態のネットワークシステムの構成を示す図である。第1の実施形態との相違点は、IoT-GW311がVNF(Virtual Network Function)で構成されたVNF IoT-GW311aに置き換えられている点である。その他、基本的な構成及び動作は第1の実施形態と同様であるので、以下その相違点を中心に説明する。
続いて、上記第2の実施形態に変更を加えた本発明の第3の実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。図15は、本発明の第3の実施形態におけるVNF IoT-GWの構成を説明するための図である。図9に示した第2の実施形態との相違点は、符号A~I(符号3111a)で表されるVNF IoT-GW用の機能がVNF化されており、そのチェーニングを変更することで、VNF IoT-GW311bに所望の機能を追加できるようになっている点である。例えば、過去一定期間のデータの集計を行う機能A、過去一定期間のデータ平均を計算する機能B等を組み合わせることで、VNF IoT-GW311bに、これらの機能を追加することが可能になる。
続いて、データ送信ノードとして携帯端末を用いるようにした本発明の第4の実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。図17は、本発明の第4の実施形態のネットワークシステムの構成を示す図である。図3等に示した第1~第3の実施形態と異なる点は、IoT-GWの代わりにGW321aと、AP(アクセスポイント)331とが配置され、端末341a、341bがデータセンタ201側にセンサー600から受信したデータを送信可能となっている点である。その他、基本的な構成及び動作は第1の実施形態と同様であるので、以下その相違点を中心に説明する。

続いて、上記第4の実施形態の別の変形例について説明する。端末341a、341bにインストールするアプリケーションにアカウント切り替え機能がある場合、そのアカウント切り替え機能を利用して、複数の事業者に端末を利用させることもできる。図20は、1つの端末341に2つのアプリケーションがインストールされ、それぞれのアプリケーションで2つのアカウントが切替可能となっている状態を示す図である。
続いて、上記第1~第4の実施形態を組みわせた本発明の第5の実施形態について説明する。図21は、本発明の第5の実施形態のネットワークシステムの構成を示す図である。
