REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM AND REMOTE MONITORING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A remote monitoring system comprising:
- a monitoring apparatus configured to display a monitoring screen for monitoring an electric power plant;
a remote monitoring apparatus configured to display the monitoring screen transferred from the monitoring apparatus; and
a management server configured to manage information regarding the remote monitoring apparatus;
the management server comprising;
an activation management module configured to acquire apparatus identification information for identifying the remote monitoring apparatus, and to return activation permission to the remote monitoring apparatus if the apparatus identification information matches apparatus identification information that is registered in advance; and
a software management module configured to acquire user identification information for identifying a user of the remote monitoring apparatus, and to provide connection software to the remote monitoring apparatus if the user identification information matches user identification information that is registered in advance;
the remote monitoring apparatus comprising;
a secret information storing region configured to store the apparatus identification information, and to limit software accessible to the secret information storing region to basic input/output system (BIOS) software of the remote monitoring apparatus;
an activation module configured to acquire the activation permission from the activation management module by providing the apparatus identification information in the secret information storing region to the activation management module, and to continue activation of the remote monitoring apparatus depending on the activation permission; and
a software acquiring module configured to acquire the connection software from the software management module by providing the user identification information to the software management module; and
the monitoring apparatus comprising;
