Abstract

Disclosed is a remote monitoring terminal device 200 including: connection terminals (T, . . . ); a data abridging control section for computing minimum, maximum, and average values of data collected over a period from a startup to a latest data acquisition, and an occurrence count and durations of a predetermined event, all on the basis of data on an operation state acquired via connection terminals (T, . . . ) and stored in a data storage section; and a communications section, wherein the data abridging control section transmits the minimum, maximum, and average values and the occurrence count and durations of the predetermined event, all stored in the data storage section, to a remote monitoring device via the communications section in response to a manual turn-off of a startup switch SW of a mobile work vehicle or vessel.

Claims

1. A remote monitoring terminal device for a mobile work vehicle or vessel, said remote monitoring terminal device being mounted to a mobile work vehicle or vessel for communication with a remote monitoring device to enable the mobile work vehicle or vessel to be remotely monitored by the remote monitoring device, said remote monitoring terminal device comprising:

connection terminals for feeding data on an operation state of the mobile work vehicle or vessel;

a data abridging control section for acquiring at predetermined intervals the data on the operation state fed via the connection terminals, temporarily storing the acquired data in a data storage section, computing minimum, maximum, and average values of part of the data on the operation state collected over a period from a startup to a latest data acquisition and an occurrence count and durations of a predetermined event, all on the basis of the data stored at the predetermined intervals, and temporarily storing the computed minimum, maximum, and average values and the computed occurrence count and durations in the data storage section; and

a communications section for communication with the remote monitoring device,

wherein the data abridging control section transmits the minimum, maximum, and average values and the occurrence count and durations of the predetermined event, all stored in the data storage section, to the remote monitoring device via the communications section in response to a manual turn-off of a startup switch of the mobile work vehicle or vessel.
