Method and apparatus for integrating distributed information
First Claim
1. A distributed information integrating method for integrating information distributively stored in plural processing devices by any one of plural processing devices in a distributed information processing system in which the plural processing devices are connected to one another through transmission media and a series of processing operations are distributively performed, comprising the steps of:
- collecting, by at least one first processing device, data stored in the first processing device according to a predetermined collecting condition in response to occurrence of an event serving as a trigger;
transmitting, by the first processing device, the collected data to a second processing device of an original data request side; and
integrating, by a second processing device, the collected data received by the second processing device according to a predetermined integrating condition.

Abstract
Distributed information integrating method and apparatus for collecting data requested by a program at a data request side, integrating the collected data and supplying the integrated data to the request-side program irrespective of the existence of a processing device storing the data and a transmission medium. An event linking data table 232 stores the name of data to be collected in response to an occurring event and a transmission destination of the collected data. Filtering processing 222 refers to the event linking data table 232 in response to an event occurring on a self processing device and a message event received through a transmission medium to collect the data stored in the self processing device, and transmits the collected data to a transmission destination. A data integration management table 233 sets the items of data to be integrated while dividing the items for every data name of the collection data. Data integration processing 224 receives collection data from another processing device to integrate the collection data according to the setting of the data integration management table 233, and delivers the integrated data to an application program 212.

4. A distributed information integrating apparatus for collecting and integrating information which is distributively stored in plural processing devices in a distributed information processing system in which the plural processing devices are connected to one another through transmission media and a series of processing operations are distributively performed, comprising:
-
first table means into which each processing device stores the name of data to be collected, which are stored therein, and a transmission destination of the collected data in association with a specific event; first processing means for referring to said first table means in response to an event occurring for each processing device and a message event received through said transmission media to collect the data stored in the processing device and transmit the collected data to said transmission destination; second table means for setting the items of data to be integrated while dividing the items for every data name of the collection data; and second processing means for receiving the collection data from another processing device or said first processing means, integrating the collection data according to the setting of said second table means, and transmitting the integrated data to a request side therein. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
