Monitor control system, information processing terminal, monitor control method, and program
First Claim
1. A monitor control system, comprising:
- at least one monitor target unit that is monitored; and
a monitor controller that is connected via a network to a monitor target unit and controls the monitor target unit, the controller conducting monitor control, operation, and setting for the monitor target unit by use of a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), wherein the monitor controller comprises;
an SNMP mediator that receives an alarm signal from a monitor target unit in which an alarm has occurred and converts the alarm signal into an SNMP alarm signal;
an SNMP manager that receives an SNMP alarm signal from the SNMP mediator or a monitor target unit in which an alarm has occurred and displays the alarm according to the SNMP alarm signal;
at least one local craft terminal, corresponding to monitor target units, that logs into monitor target units; and
an application initiating module that activates, when an operation is conducted to designate a predetermined monitor target unit, a local craft terminal associated with the monitor target unit.

Abstract
One personal computer includes a combination of an SNMP manager, an SNMP mediator, an application initiating function, and a local craft terminal. The personal computer is connected via a local area network to a monitor target unit to be monitored and then logs into the target unit to conduct monitor control, operation, and setting for the target unit. It is therefore possible to provide a monitor control system, an information processing terminal, a monitor control method, and a program that are economically advantageously implemented by using a personal computer, which are easily operable without using a technical language for the operation system and particular operation capability and are easily expandable with respect to unit types of monitor target units, and that can conduct monitor control, operation, and setting for the monitor target unit at a remote place.

7. A monitor control method of conducting by use of an SNMP monitor control, operation, and setting for at least one monitor target unit arranged on a network, the method comprising:
-
an SNMP alarm signal acquiring step of receiving an SNMP alarm signal directly from a monitor target unit that issued an alarm or receiving an alarm signal from the monitor target unit, and converting the alarm signal into an SNMP alarm signal;
an alarm display step of displaying the alarm according to the SNMP alarm signal;
an application initiating step of activating, when an operation is conducted to designate a predetermined monitor target unit, a local craft terminal corresponding to the monitor target unit; and
a monitor target unit control step of logging into the monitor target unit by use of the local craft terminal and conducting monitor control, operation, and setting for the monitor target unit. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A computer program product for conducting by use of an SNMP monitor control, operation, and setting for at least one monitor target unit arranged on a network, the program causing a computer to perform:
-
SNMP alarm signal acquiring processing for receiving an SNMP alarm signal directly from a monitor target unit that issued an alarm or receiving an alarm signal from the monitor target unit, and converting the alarm signal into an SNMP alarm signal;
alarm display processing for displaying the alarm according to the SNMP alarm signal;
application initiating processing for activating, when an operation is conducted to designate a predetermined monitor target unit, a local craft terminal corresponding to the monitor target unit; and
monitor target unit control processing for logging into the monitor target unit by use of the local craft terminal and conducting monitor control, operation, and setting for the monitor target unit. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
