Monitoring Data Model for Automatic Sensor Replacement Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional monitoring systems require manual updates and matching checks when a sensor or monitoring unit is replaced, which is problematic when the replacement model is not available, and cannot achieve automated matching of monitoring information items.
Innovation Solution
A monitoring system that includes a monitoring device, a configuration information item management device, and a data model management device to automatically associate and display monitoring information items by generating display data using a data model that links monitoring information with configuration information, enabling seamless updates and browsing without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual matching check is performed when sensor or monitoring unit is replaced, then continuity of monitoring information item can be verified, but administrator workload increases and automation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-verification by automatically checking continuity between old and new monitoring information items using the data model, eliminating the need for manual administrator intervention in the matching check process
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides automated feedback by comparing monitoring information items before and after replacement, notifying administrators only when actual discontinuities occur rather than requiring manual verification of every replacement
2Reliability
If conventional matching check method is used, then monitoring information item continuity can be verified, but system complexity increases due to manual configuration checks
Solution Approach 1:
The data model acts as an intermediary that automatically manages the matching between monitoring information items and constituent elements, simplifying the complex configuration check process into automatic data comparison operations
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and maintains a data model copy of the system configuration that can be automatically queried and compared, replacing complex manual configuration checks with simple data model queries
3Extent of automation
If same model or alternate model replacement is required, then automatic update can be performed, but adaptability decreases when discontinued models need replacement
Solution Approach 1:
The data model is designed to be model-agnostic, able to represent and manage monitoring information items from different sensor and monitoring unit models through a unified structure, enabling automatic update regardless of specific replacement model
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters in the data model to reflect the replacement, using generic parameter mappings that work across different model types rather than requiring model-specific configuration

AI summary
A monitoring system includes a monitoring device to collect and retain the monitoring information item that is a result of monitoring by a monitor terminal, a configuration information item management device to retain a configuration information item that is information about the monitor terminal connected to the monitoring system, a data model management device to generate display data intended for display of the monitoring information item by means of a data model that includes information associating the monitoring information item with the configuration information item, and a display device to obtain the display data and control the display of the monitoring information item.
