MONITORING SYSTEM, MONITORING APPARATUS, AND MONITORING METHOD
First Claim
1. A monitoring system comprising:
- a sub-station monitoring apparatus which includes a plurality of detecting units, and transmits a predetermined event as first data when one or more detecting units detect the predetermined event; and
a main station monitoring apparatus which receives and analyzes the first data, and transmits transmission request information to the sub-station monitoring apparatus when second data that is detailed data relating to the predetermined event is needed as an analysis result.

Abstract
When a plurality of sub-station monitoring apparatuses are controlled by a main station monitoring apparatus, if the sub-station monitoring apparatus detects a change of a plurality of events, the sub-station monitoring apparatus transmits information relating to the event such as the kind of change, the time of event occurrence, or the like to the main station monitoring apparatus instead of transmitting image data. The main station monitoring apparatus determines abnormality/normality of the occurred event, and requests the corresponding sub-station monitoring apparatus to transmit still image data or moving picture data when there is a possibility of abnormality, so as to monitor the event in detail.

8. A main station monitoring apparatus for remotely controlling a sub-station monitoring apparatus in a monitoring system, the main station monitoring apparatus comprising:
-
a main station communication unit which communicates with the sub-station monitoring apparatus; an event analyzing unit which analyzes whether first data satisfies a predetermined condition, when the main station communication unit receives the first data that is data of a predetermined event detected by the sub-station monitoring apparatus in a monitoring section; and a main station controlling unit which generates transmission request information for requesting the sub-station monitoring apparatus to transmit designated status information as second data from the status information about a detailed status stored at the time when the event occurs in the monitoring section by the sub-station monitoring apparatus, when the event analyzing unit determines that the first data satisfies the predetermined condition. - View Dependent Claims (9)

10. A sub-station monitoring apparatus that is remotely controlled by a main station monitoring apparatus in a monitoring system, the sub-station monitoring apparatus comprising:
-
a communication unit which communicates with the main station monitoring apparatus; an event detecting unit which detects a predetermined event in a monitoring section of the sub-station monitoring apparatus; a status information acquiring unit which acquires detailed status about the predetermined event in the monitoring section as status information; a storage unit which stores the status information; and a sub-station controlling unit which transmits the predetermined event to the main station monitoring apparatus as first data via the communication unit when the event detecting unit detects the predetermined event and at the same time stores status information at the time of detecting the predetermined event in the storage unit, wherein the main station monitoring apparatus transmits transmission request information for requesting the sub-station monitoring apparatus to transmit the designated status information when it is considered that the first data satisfies a predetermined condition as an analyzing result of the main station monitoring apparatus, and the sub-station controlling unit generates second data by extracting the status information designated by the transmission request information from the storage unit and transmits the second data via the communication unit, when the sub-station monitoring apparatus receives the transmission request information. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A monitoring method for remotely controlling a sub-station monitoring apparatus that monitors a predetermined monitoring section by a main station monitoring apparatus, the monitoring method comprising:
-
detecting a predetermined event in the monitoring section by the sub-station monitoring apparatus; acquiring and storing status information about detailed status at the time of detecting the event by the sub-station monitoring apparatus; transmitting the predetermined event as first data to the main station monitoring apparatus by the sub-station monitoring apparatus when the predetermined event is detected; receiving and analyzing the first data by the main station monitoring apparatus; transmitting transmission request information for requesting transmission of designated status information to the sub-station monitoring apparatus by the main station monitoring apparatus, when a predetermined condition is satisfied as an analysis result; receiving the transmission request information by the sub-station monitoring apparatus, and extracting the status information as second data designated by the transmission request information from the stored status information; and transmitting the second data to the main station monitoring apparatus by the sub-station monitoring apparatus.
