FACILITY MONITORING/CONTROLLING SYSTEM AND FACILITY MONITORING/CONTROLLING METHOD
First Claim
1. A facility monitoring/controlling system comprising:
- an on-site facility monitoring/controlling subsystem that includes on-site input means, on-site display means, and network communication means, and that controls operation of a facility to be controlled through an on-site manipulation screen in which an operational state of the facility to be controlled is visualized on the on-site display means; and
a center facility monitoring/controlling subsystem that includes center input means, center display means, and network communication means, transmits manipulation instruction data to the on-site facility monitoring/controlling subsystem through a remote manipulation screen as well as performing data transmission/reception to/from the on-site facility monitoring/controlling subsystem and reproducing/displaying the remote manipulation screen with the same content as the on-site manipulation screen on the center display means, and that remotely controls the facility to be controlled;
whereinthe center facility monitoring/controlling subsystem automatically remotely manipulates the on-site facility monitoring/controlling subsystem, and includes automatic operation means of the facility to be controlled.

Abstract
A facility monitoring/controlling system and method enabling provision of a screen display function having an adequate real-time property in the range of a low rate, e.g., around 64 kbps. An on-site facility monitoring/controlling subsystem (10) operates/controls a controlled facility (200) by an on-site input means (14) through an on-site manipulation screen means (30) showing the visualized operating state of the controlled facility (200). A center facility monitoring/controlling subsystem (20) reproduces/displays a remote manipulation screen (30′) with the same contents as the on-site manipulation screen (30) on a center display means (22), and controls the controlled facility (200) by a center input means (23) and remotely operate/control the controlled facility (200). The site facility monitoring/controlling subsystem (10) extracts difference data by a difference data extraction unit (15) and performs data conversion using the analysis results of the periodicity of the change of the site manipulation screen (30) and analysis results of intermittence of the change of a cursor image from the difference data by a data conversion processing unit (19). The center facility monitoring/controlling subsystem (20) reversely converts the converted data by a manipulation screen reproducing/displaying processing unit, reproduces/displays the remote manipulation screen (30′) on the center display means (22), and remotely operates/controls the controlled facility (200).
