Equipment set generation support apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An equipment set generation support apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a plurality of equipments connected to a network, state change event information notifying a new state after a state change of each equipment and an occurrence time and date of the state change;
a setting unit configured to set a detection condition including a start time and an end time of a detection period;
a selection unit configured to select state change event information whose occurrence time and date of the state change falling within the detection period from the state change event information acquired by the acquisition unit;
a first detection unit configured to detect, from the plurality of equipments, a set of equipments whose states change in the detection period and a set of state values after the state change of each equipment by comparing a start state at the start time of the detection period with an end state at the end time of the detection period based on the state change event information selected by the selection unit;
a re-creation unit configured to re-create the set of state values in the set of equipment; and
a second detection unit configured to detect, from the state change event information acquired by the acquisition unit after re-creating the set of state values in the set of equipments by the re-creation unit, a new state change other than state changes which occurs as a result of the re-creating the set of state values, to obtain a equipment in which the new state change occurred and the state value of the equipment.

Abstract
An equipment set generation support apparatus (a) acquires, from a plurality of equipments connected to a network, state change event information notifying a state change of each equipment and an occurrence time and date of the state change, (b) sets a detection condition including a start time and an end time of a detection period, (c) selects state change event information whose occurrence time and date of the state change falling within the detection period from the state change event information acquired, and (d) detects, from the plurality of equipments, a set of equipments whose states change in the detection period and a set of state values after the state change of each equipment based on the state change event information selected.

6. An equipment set generation support method comprising:
-
acquiring, in an acquisition unit, from a plurality of equipments connected to a network, state change event information notifying a new state after a state change of each equipment and an occurrence time and date of the state change; setting, in a setting unit, a detection condition including a start time and an end time of a detection period; selecting, in a selecting unit, state change event information whose occurrence time and date of the state change falling within the detection period from the state change event information acquired; detecting, in a first detecting unit, from the plurality of equipments, a set of equipments whose states change in the detection period and a set of state values after the state change of each equipment by comparing a start state at the start time of the detection period with an end state at the end time of the detection period based on the state change event information selected; re-creating the set of state values in the set of equipments; acquiring state change event information from the set of equipments after re-creating; and detecting, from the state change event information acquired after the re-creating, a new state change other than state changes which occurs as a result of the re-creating the set of state values, to obtain an equipment in which the new state change has occurred and the state value of the equipment after the new state change. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
