Problems to be solved by the invention

In a monitoring apparatus used in a building, a factory, or the like, the operation state of a monitoring device may be displayed on a monitoring screen for each floor. For example, an elevator installed in a building is a monitoring device disposed across a plurality of floors. However, the elevator does not operate equally on all floors. For example, the car of an elevator sometimes does not stop at a part of the floors. Sometimes 2 doors are opened on some floors and only 1 door is opened on other floors. Therefore, the same symbol is not always used when the symbol indicating the elevator is displayed on the monitor screen. The device described in patent document 1 cannot efficiently produce such a monitor screen.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a monitoring screen creating device that can create a monitoring screen efficiently even when a symbol representing an elevator is included in the monitoring screen.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Duplicate descriptions are appropriately simplified or omitted. In the drawings, like reference numerals designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views.

Embodiment 1.

Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the monitoring screen creating apparatus 1 in embodiment 1. The monitor screen creating device 1 is a device for creating a monitor screen displayed by a monitor screen display device (not shown).

The monitor screen display device acquires monitor data from various monitor devices via a telephone line or an internet line. The monitoring device is, for example, a device installed in a building or factory. Hereinafter, a device to be monitored, i.e., a monitoring device, is also referred to as an object. The monitor data includes, for example, data indicating an operation condition and data indicating an operation history. The operation state of the monitoring equipment installed in the building or the factory is displayed in real time on the monitoring screen of the monitoring screen display device. The monitor screen display device controls the setting of the monitor device based on the acquired monitor data.

In a monitor screen display device, a monitor screen including a graph, a chart, an event history, and the like is prepared in advance. Hereinafter, a portion representing a component, an image, a background component, a background image, a graph, a numerical value, or the like displayed on the monitor screen will be referred to as a symbol. Symbols include device symbols, numeric symbols, chart symbols, form symbols, and the like. The device symbol is a symbol representing the monitoring device in an illustration. The numerical symbol is a symbol indicating a temperature, a power value, or the like. Form symbols are symbols used for managing the monitoring device.

The floor map may be included in a monitor screen displayed on the monitor screen display device. The floor map displays the operation states of the monitoring devices provided at the respective floors. For example, if building a is a 10-story building, a floor map of 1 story, a floor map of 2 stories, a floor map of …, 9 stories, and a floor map of 10 stories are included in the monitor screen for building a. The floor map of the floor 1 shows the operation status of each monitoring device provided on the floor 1. The floor map of floor 2 shows the operation status of each monitoring device provided on floor 2. Similarly, the operation states of the monitoring devices provided at 10 floors are displayed on the floor map at 10 floors.

When the car of an elevator installed in a building a stops at each floor, a symbol indicating the elevator is arranged in a floor map of each floor. On the other hand, when the car of the elevator installed in the building a stops at a part of the floors, no symbol indicating the elevator is disposed in the floor map of the floor. In addition, when a plurality of entrances and exits are formed in the car of the elevator, a door to be opened and closed is determined for each floor map. According to the monitor screen creating apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, a monitor screen including such a floor map can be efficiently and easily created.

The functions of the monitoring screen creating apparatus 1 will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 2 to 8. As shown in fig. 1, the monitoring screen generating apparatus 1 includes a 1 st data storage unit 11, a 2 nd data storage unit 12, a 3 rd data storage unit 13, a 4 th data storage unit 14, and a 5 th data storage unit 15. The monitor screen creating apparatus 1 further includes a screen display unit 16, an operation processing unit 17, a screen editing unit 18, a generation processing unit 19, a distribution unit 20, and a parent-child relationship generating unit 21. Each of the sections indicated by reference numerals 11 to 21 shows functions of the monitoring screen creating apparatus 1.

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

The memory 32 stores a program for realizing the functions of the monitor screen creating apparatus 1. The monitor screen creating apparatus 1 realizes the functions of the respective units shown by reference numerals 16 to 21 by executing the programs stored in the memory 32 by the processor 31. The memory 33 stores data for realizing the functions of the monitoring screen creating apparatus 1. The functions of the respective accumulating units shown by reference numerals 11 to 15 are realized by the memory 33.

The processor 31 may be a CPU (Central Processing Unit: central processing unit), a central processing unit, an arithmetic device, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, or a DSP. As the memory 32 or the memory 33, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, a floppy disk, an optical disk, a high-density disk, a mini disk, or a DVD may be used. The semiconductor memory that can be used as the memory 32 or the memory 33 includes RAM, ROM, flash memory, EPROM, EEPROM, and the like.

The processing circuit 30 may also include dedicated hardware (not shown). That is, a part of the functions of the monitor screen creating apparatus 1 may be realized by dedicated hardware. As another example, all the functions of the monitoring screen creating apparatus 1 may be realized by dedicated hardware. As dedicated hardware, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof may also be employed.

The monitor screen creation device 1 is connected to an external device via an input/output interface 34. The external device includes a display device 2 and an input device 3. For example, the display device 2 is a display 2a for a PC. The display device 2 may be a flat panel display or a display built in a monitor panel. The input device 3 includes, for example, a keyboard 3a and a mouse 3b. The input means 3 may be a touch panel type input device.

The monitoring screen generating apparatus 1 transmits and receives data to and from the monitoring device 4 via the network interface 35.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the monitoring screen creating apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1. The screen display unit 16 displays a production screen on the display device 2 based on the data from the screen editing unit 18. The user operates the input device 3 to create a monitor screen while viewing the creation screen displayed on the display device 2.

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

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

The screen editing unit 18 performs processing corresponding to the input information from the input device 3 by using the data stored in the 1 st data storage unit 11. For example, the screen editing unit 18 selects a symbol designated by the user from the 1 st data storage unit 11 based on the input information from the input device 3. The screen editing unit 18 arranges the selected symbol in a specific area in the production screen (S101).

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of data stored in the 1 st data storage unit 11. The 1 st data storage unit 11 stores data related to the symbol. For example, the 1 st data storage unit 11 stores logical symbol data and static symbol data. The logical symbol data is data to which an action is given to a dynamic symbol that changes according to the content of the monitor signal. Static symbol data is data representing a constant symbol. The 1 st data storage unit 11 stores a symbol that has been created in advance or a symbol that has been newly created at the time of development.

In the example shown in fig. 4, the data stored in the 1 st data storage unit 11 includes a symbol material 40, an operation definition 41, and a correspondence table 42. The symbol material 40 is a material used as a symbol. Fig. 4 shows an example in which symbols required for a monitoring screen of a building having an elevator are stored as symbol materials 40 in the 1 st data storage unit 11. For example, a building symbol, a bank symbol, an elevator symbol, and an escalator symbol are registered in advance in the 1 st data storage unit 11 as symbols to be expressed.

The action definition 41 defines an action of a symbol that varies according to the content of the monitor signal. The action definition 41 is prefabricated by the user, for example according to a script. As an example, fig. 4 shows details of an action definition 41 with a definition name aaa. The action definition 41, which is defined by the name aaa, defines that the door of the elevator symbol is displayed larger if the monitor signal indicating the open/close state of the elevator door is 0. The action definition 41 defines that the door of the elevator symbol is displayed smaller if the above-mentioned monitoring signal is 1.

The correspondence table 42 is an example of symbol display data defining the type (genre) of a symbol and the display format of the symbol. The symbol material 40 is associated with the action definition 41 according to the correspondence table 42. Fig. 4 shows an example in which the correspondence table 42 contains symbol types, widths, heights, action definition names, and descriptions as items. The item "symbol type" uniquely represents the symbol material 40. The items "width" and "height" represent the width and height of the symbol when the symbol is arranged in the production screen. The symbol indicating the building and the symbol indicating the bank are unchanged regardless of the content of the monitoring signal. Therefore, the operation definition name corresponding to the symbol type "building" is not registered in the correspondence table 42. Similarly, the action definition name corresponding to the symbol type "bank" is not registered in the correspondence table 42.

When the processing of S101 is performed, the generation processing unit 19 determines whether or not the sub-symbol is registered for the symbol selected and arranged in S101 (S102). The generation processing unit 19 performs the determination at S102 based on the symbol level data stored in the 2 nd data storage unit 12.

Fig. 5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining data stored in the 5 th data storage unit 15. The 5 th data storage unit 15 stores data related to the object. For example, the 5 th data storage unit 15 stores data indicating the hierarchy of the object. The 5 th data storage unit 15 stores data that does not change regardless of the operation state of the object. The unchanged data includes an object name, a date of setting of the object, and the like.

FIG. 5 is a class diagram representing a hierarchy of objects. In the example shown in fig. 5, as classes related to the monitoring device, there are a build class, a Bank class, an Es class, and an Ele class. As inheritance of Ele class, there is EleA class and EleB class. The Building class manages data related to the Building. The Bank class manages data related to banks. Class Es manages data related to the escalator. The Ele class manages data related to the elevator.

In the example shown in fig. 5, the Building class is a class that is one order higher than the Bank class. The Building class is a class that is one level higher than the Es class. The Bank class is a class one order higher than the Ele class.

Fig. 6 is an object diagram showing details of an object. Fig. 6 shows an example of the correspondence between object names and class names represented by colon numbers. In the example shown in fig. 6, the hierarchy of objects is 3 phases. The hierarchy of objects may be multiple phases.

In the example shown in fig. 6, an object (monitoring device) of the object name "build 1" is contained in the build class. The object names represent respective entity names of the monitoring devices. The object name "Bank1" and the object name "Bank2" are included in the Bank class. The Es class contains an object with an object name of "Es 1". The EleA class includes an object of the object name "Ele1", an object of the object name "Ele2", and an object of the object name "Ele 3". The object of the object name "Ele4" is contained in the EleB class.

In the example shown in fig. 6, the object of the object name "Building1" is an object higher by one level than the object of the object name "Bank1", the object of the object name "Bank2", and the object of the object name "Es 1". The object of the object name "Bank1" is an object higher by one level than the object of the object name "Ele1" and the object of the object name "Ele 2". The object of the object name "Bank2" is an object higher by one level than the object of the object name "Ele3" and the object of the object name "Ele 4".

In the present embodiment, for example, when the object B is the object of the upper stage of the object C, the object B is also referred to as a parent object of the object C. Similarly, when the object C is the next-stage object of the object B, the object C is also referred to as a child object of the object B. In the example shown in fig. 6, the object of the object name "Bank1" is not a parent object of the object name "Ele 3". Likewise, the object of the object name "Ele3" is not a child of the object name "Bank 1".

Table 1 shows an example of data stored in the 5 th data storage unit 15. Table 1 is an example of object hierarchy data in which the type (type) of an object and a higher-level object are defined for each object. Table 1 contains an object name, an object type, and a parent object name as items. In table 1, class names are shown as object types.

TABLE 1

Object name	Object type	Parent object name
			Building1	Building	-
Bank1	Bank	Building1
			Ele1	EleA	Bank1
Ele2	EleA	Bank1
			Bank2	Bank	Building1
Ele3	EleA	Bank2
			Ele4	EleB	Bank2
Es1	Es	Building1

Table 2 shows an example of data generated by the distribution unit 20. The allocation unit 20 allocates a corresponding symbol type to the object type stored in the 5 th data storage unit 15. Specifically, the allocation unit 20 allocates the symbol type defined in the correspondence table 42 of the 1 st data storage unit 11 to the object type.

TABLE 2

Object type	Symbol type
		Building	Mansion building
Bank	Bank
		EleA	Elevator
1
	EleB	Elevator	2
Es				Escalator with a guide rail

As shown in table 2, the function of the allocation unit 20 can associate the object as the monitoring device with the symbol arranged on the production screen. As shown in table 1, by assigning symbol types in object type units instead of object units, the assignment process can be made labor-saving.

Table 3 is an example of data generated by the parent-child relationship generating section 21. Table 3 is an example of symbol level data defining a corresponding object, a type (genre) of a symbol, and a symbol at a lower level for each symbol. As shown in table 3, the parent-child relationship generating unit 21 defines each symbol arranged on the production screen. The parent-child relationship generation unit 21 performs the above definition based on the data stored in the 1 st data storage unit 11, the data including the object hierarchy data stored in the 5 th data storage unit 15, and the data generated by the allocation unit 20. The data generated by the parent-child relationship generating unit 21 is stored in the 2 nd data storage unit 12.

TABLE 3

As shown in table 3, the parent-child relationship generation unit 21 defines a symbol in the object name unit stored in the 5 th data storage unit 15. Table 3 includes symbol ID, symbol type, object name, monitor signal, and sub-symbol ID as items. The symbol is uniquely represented by a symbol ID. The monitoring data from the monitoring device is uniquely represented by the monitoring signal.

Table 3 shows an example of generating consecutive numbers based on the parent-child relationship of the symbol for the monitor signal. This is because the structure of the monitoring data represented by the monitoring signal is mostly similar to the hierarchical structure of the object. This can improve the visual confirmation of the monitor signal. Table 3 shows an example in which the sub-symbol IDs are set in symbol units. Table 3 shows an example in which the sub-symbol IDs are set in the order of the objects shown in table 1, but the sub-symbol IDs may be set in other orders.

In the example shown in table 3, the sub-symbol IDs "S001", "S004", and "S007" are registered for the symbol of the symbol ID "S000". When the symbol specified by the symbol ID "S000" is selected and arranged in S101, the generation processing unit 19 determines yes in S102. When the generation processing unit 19 determines yes in S102, it performs an automatic generation process of the sub-symbol registered for the symbol (S103). The generation processing unit 19 also performs the automatic generation processing of S103 based on the data stored in the 3 rd data storage unit 13 and the data stored in the 4 th data storage unit 14.

Table 4 shows an example of data stored in the 4 th data storage unit 14. The 4 th data storage unit 14 stores elevator-related data. Table 4 shows an example of elevator data defining settings of different floors for each elevator. Table 4 includes, as items, an object name, a stop layer, and an opening/closing door.

TABLE 4

Object name	Docking layer	Opening and closing door
			Ele1	1111111111	1111111111
Ele2	1111100000	2222200000
			Ele3	1111111111	1111122222
Ele4	1111111111	1111111111

In the example shown in table 4, the elevator data includes stop floor information and door information. The stop floor information is information indicating whether or not the car of the elevator stops for each floor. The door information is information indicating opening and closing of several doors provided in the car of the elevator for each floor.

In the example shown in Table 4, the docking layer information is represented in binary in the item "docking layer". That is, the 1 st digit on the left indicates whether the car is stopped at level 1. The 2 nd digit from the left indicates whether the car is stopping at floor 2. Also, the 10 th digit from the left indicates whether the car stops at 10 floors. Further, a digital 1 indicates a car stop. A digital 0 indicates that the car is not or cannot stop.

For example, in the stop floor "1111100000", the 1 st to 5 th numerals from the left are 1, and thus refer to the car stopping from the floor 1 to the floor 5. Further, the numbers 6 to 10 from the left are 0, thus meaning that the car does not stop from 6 floors to 10 floors.

In the example shown in table 4, the number of doors opened and closed in the item "open and close doors" is represented by a number. That is, the 1 st left digit indicates the number of doors opened and closed at level 1. The 2 nd number from the left indicates the number of doors opened and closed at the 2 nd floor. Similarly, the 10 th number from the left indicates the number of doors opened and closed at 10 floors.

For example, in the opening/closing door "1111122222", the 1 st to 5 th numerals from the left are 1, and thus, refer to 1 door from 1 floor to 5 floors to open/close. Further, the 6 th to 10 th numerals from the left are 2, and thus, means that 2 doors from 6 layers to 10 layers are opened and closed.

Table 5 shows an example of data stored in the 3 rd data storage unit 13. The 3 rd data storage unit 13 stores data related to a rule for arranging symbols in the production screen. The rules include configuration rules for configuring child symbols within a display area of a parent symbol. Table 5 shows an example of the configuration rule. Table 5 contains symbol types, arrangement directions, and rearrangement references as items. Table 5 shows an example of symbol types defining 2 categories of "bank1" and "bank2" for the category (type) of the bank symbol. The arrangement direction indicates a direction in which the sub-symbols are arranged and arranged. If the configuration direction is vertical, the shuffle reference represents the number of sub-symbols contained in a column. If the configuration direction is lateral, the shuffle reference represents the number of sub-symbols contained in a row.

TABLE 5

Symbol type	Direction of arrangement	Line-changing reference
			Mansion building	Transverse direction	2 symbols
Bank1	Transverse direction	2 symbols
			Bank2	Transverse direction	1 symbol

Table 5 shows an example of the configuration rule. For example, the configuration rule may include an arrangement reference indicating left alignment or right alignment, an inter-symbol space, or a margin with a parent symbol.

In S103, the generation processing unit 19 also performs automatic generation processing of the sub-symbol based on the floor information input from the input device 3. For example, if a floor map of 1 floor is created, the user inputs floor information "1 floor" from the input device 3. If the user creates a floor map of 10 floors, the floor information "10 floors" is input from the input device 3. Hereinafter, as an example, the operation when the Building symbol 50 with the object name "Building1" is arranged on the production screen in S101 will be described in detail.

Fig. 7 and 8 are diagrams showing examples of production screens displayed on the display device 2. Fig. 7 shows a floor plan of 1 floor. Fig. 8 shows a floor plan of 10 floors.

As shown in table 3, the symbol ID of the Building symbol 50 with the object name "Building1" is "S000". The symbol ID "S000" is registered with the sub-symbol IDs "S001", "S004" and "S007". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates the Bank symbol 51 with the object name "Bank1", the Bank symbol 52 with the object name "Bank2", and the escalator symbol 53 with the object name "Es 1".

For example, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the bank symbol 51, the bank symbol 52, and the escalator symbol 53 in the display area of the building symbol 50 according to the arrangement rule stored in the 3 rd data storage unit 13. As shown in table 5, the symbol type "building" is arranged in a direction of "lateral" and the diversion standard is "2 symbols". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the bank symbol 51 and the bank symbol 52 in the display area of the building symbol 50 in the lateral direction. The generation processing unit 19 is arranged in a row for the escalator symbol 53 as the 3 rd sub-symbol. Fig. 7 and 8 show an example in which the generation processing unit 19 arranges 3 symbols in the order of registration of the sub-symbol IDs.

The generation processing unit 19 generates a bank symbol 51, a bank symbol 52, and an escalator symbol 53 in accordance with the display format registered in the correspondence table 42. As described above, the child symbol is arranged within the display area of the parent symbol. When a part of the child symbol is separated from the display area of the parent symbol when the child symbol is arranged in the display area of the parent symbol in accordance with the arrangement rule and the display format, the warning display may be performed on the display device 2.

As shown in table 3, the sub-symbol IDs "S002" and "S003" are registered in the symbol ID "S001". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates the elevator symbol 54 with the object name "Ele1" and the elevator symbol 55 with the object name "Ele 2".

For example, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the elevator symbol 54 and the elevator symbol 55 in the display area of the bank symbol 51 according to the arrangement rule stored in the 3 rd data storage unit 13. As shown in table 5, the symbol type "bank1" is arranged with the arrangement direction of "horizontal" and the diversion criterion of "2 symbols". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the elevator symbol 54 and the elevator symbol 55 in the display area of the bank symbol 51 in the lateral direction.

The generation processing unit 19 displays the elevator symbol 54 and the elevator symbol 55 based on the floor information input and the elevator data stored in the 4 th data storage unit 14. For example, the generation processing unit 19 determines whether or not to display the elevator symbol 54 on the production screen based on the stop floor information included in the elevator data and the inputted floor information. As shown in table 4, the

elevator symbol

54,1 layer and the elevator symbol 10 layer are both stop layers. Thus, the elevator symbol 54 is displayed on both the floor map of floor 1 and the floor map of floor 10.

The generation processing unit 19 similarly determines whether or not to display the elevator symbol 55 on the production screen. As shown in table 4, regarding elevator symbol 55, floor 1 is a stop floor, but floor 10 is not a stop floor. Thus, the elevator symbol 55 is displayed in the floor map of the 1 floor, but the elevator symbol 55 is not displayed in the floor map of the 10 floors.

The generation processing unit 19 determines the number of doors included in the elevator symbol 54 based on the door information included in the elevator data and the inputted floor information. As shown in table 4, the number of doors that open and close at both the 1 st floor and the 10 th floor is 1 with respect to the elevator symbol 54. Thus, the elevator symbol 54 including 1 door is displayed on both the floor map of the floor 1 and the floor map of the floor 10.

The generation processing unit 19 similarly determines the number of doors included in the elevator symbol 55 for the elevator symbol 55. As shown in table 4, regarding the elevator symbol 55, the number of doors opened and closed at the 1 floor was 2. Thus, an elevator symbol 55 containing 2 doors is displayed in the floor map of floor 1. The door information may include a door direction, a door type, and the like.

Similarly, as shown in table 3, the sub-symbol IDs "S005" and "S006" are registered in the symbol ID "S004". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 automatically generates the elevator symbol 56 with the object name "Ele3" and the elevator symbol 57 with the object name "Ele 4".

As shown in table 5, the symbol type "bank2" is arranged with the arrangement direction of "horizontal" and the diversion criterion of "1 symbol". Therefore, the generation processing unit 19 arranges the elevator symbol 56 and the elevator symbol 57 in the display area of the bank symbol 52 in the vertical direction.

As shown in table 4, the

elevator symbol

56,1 layer and the elevator symbol 10 layer are both stop layers. Thus, the elevator symbol 56 is displayed on both the floor map of floor 1 and the floor map of floor 10. Likewise, elevator symbols 57 are displayed on both the floor map of floor 1 and the floor map of floor 10.

As shown in table 4, the number of doors opened and closed at 1 floor was 1 and the number of doors opened and closed at 10 floors was 2 with respect to the elevator symbol 56. Thus, in the floor plan of floor 1, an elevator symbol 56 containing 1 door is displayed. In the floor plan of the 10 floors, an elevator symbol 56 containing 2 doors is displayed. On the other hand, as shown in table 4, the number of doors opened and closed at both the 1 st floor and the 10 th floor is 1 with respect to the elevator symbol 57. Therefore, the elevator symbol 57 including 1 door is displayed on both the floor map of the floor 1 and the floor map of the floor 10.

As shown in table 3, the sub-symbol IDs are not registered in the symbol IDs "S002", "S003", "S005", and "S006". Therefore, when the elevator symbols 54 to 57 are automatically generated, no is determined in S102. If the determination is no in S102, it is determined whether or not there is another symbol to be arranged (S104). If yes is determined in S104, the above steps are repeated. If no is determined in S104, the series of processing ends.

According to the example of the present embodiment, even when a symbol indicating an elevator is included in a monitor screen, the monitor screen can be efficiently created. In the example shown in the present embodiment, the elevator data may be acquired in real time on line, and the acquired elevator data may be stored in the 4 th data storage unit 14. The elevator data may be acquired in advance and stored in the 4 th data storage unit 14, and the symbol may be automatically generated offline.
