Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display generating device includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire multiple pieces of event data, each of which being provided with time information and identification information indicating which one of multiple categories related to a facility the event data belongs to, and a generating unit configured to generate display data by arraying the multiple pieces of the event data in time series based on the time information for each of the categories depending on the identification information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A display generating device comprising: a processor; and a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the display generating device to: acquire multiple pieces of event data, each of which being provided with time information and identification information indicating which one of multiple categories related to a facility the event data belongs to; and generate display data by arraying the multiple pieces of the event data including the past event data acquired in time series based on the time information for each of the categories depending on the identification information; divide the multiple pieces of the event data into at least two groups based on a predetermined standard; and aggregate pieces of the event data included in a specific one of the at least two classified groups into one unit as time passes. 2. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data in such a manner that the piece of the event data extends across the multiple categories when one piece of the event data is common to the multiple categories. 3. The display generating device according to claim 2 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data in such a manner that the display data is displayed where a corner of a frame of the display data extending across the multiple categories is colored with a different color from those of the multiple categories. 4. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data by aggregating the respective pieces of the event data in a common category when pieces of the event data are common to the multiple categories. 5. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: acquire only preset pieces of the event data. 6. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data based on the updated event data when the acquiring unit acquires updated event data. 7. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data based on prediction data when prediction data predicting a subsequent event is acquired. 8. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data based on plan data when previously scheduled plan data is acquired. 9. The display generating device according to claim 8 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data in which the past event data and the plan data are split by a section line which indicates a current time. 10. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: generate the display data based on work data when work data of a work corresponding to the event data is acquired. 11. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display generating device is further caused to: acquire the event data from multiple places via a network. 12. The display generating device according to claim 1 , wherein the display control device is further caused to: cause the display data generated by the display generating device to be output by a display. 13. The display control device according to claim 12 , wherein the display control device is further caused to: cause the categories to be displayed in an array on a horizontal axis; and cause the display data to be displayed on a vertical axis in time series based on the time information for each of the categories on the display. 14. A display generating method comprising: acquiring multiple pieces of event data, each of which being provided with time information and identification information indicating which one of multiple categories related to a facility the event data belongs to; generating display data by arraying the multiple pieces of the event data including the past event data acquired in time series based on the time information for each of the categories depending on the identification information; dividing the multiple pieces of the event data into at least two groups based on a predetermined standard; and aggregating pieces of the event data included in a specific one of the at least two classified groups into one unit as time passes.
