Abstract

A monitoring system for use in seismic instrument arrangement in petroleum exploration, belonging to the technical field of network transmission of seismic instrument arrangement information, comprises a host server and a hand-held terminal device, wherein the host server is configured to be connected to a host machine of a seismic instrument, manipulated by an instrument operator, can extract the seismic instrument arrangement information, classify field arrangement information based on the corresponding setting and transmit the arrangement information by using a 2G/3G network; the hand-held terminal device can receive the field arrangement information transmitted by the host server, by the 2G/3G network, and alarm and remind line inspection personnel to conduct an arrangement check; after completing the inspection task, the line inspection personnel can send inquiry information via the hand-held terminal device to inquire of the instrument operator about the line inspection condition. The present invention reduces the difficulty of checking an arrangement at the time of the seismic exploration and production, shortens the required time for checking an arrangement and plays an important role in improving a production efficiency of seismic exploration.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A monitoring system for use in seismic instrument arrangement in petroleum exploration, the monitoring system comprising:
a host server configured to:
be connected to a host machine of a seismic instrument, manipulated by an instrument operator, used to extract seismic instrument arrangement information; and
classify field arrangement information based on a corresponding setting and transmit the field arrangement information by a 2G/3G network; and
a hand-held terminal device configured to:
receive the field arrangement information transmitted by the host server, by the 2G/3G network;
alarm and remind line inspection personnel to conduct an arrangement check;
be used by the line inspection personnel, after completing the arrangement check, to send inquiry information via the hand-held terminal device to inquire of the instrument operator about a line inspection condition, wherein the host server is further configured to be connected to the host machine of the seismic instrument, obtain the seismic instrument arrangement information or input an instant message, and transmit said seismic instrument arrangement information through the 2G/3G network; and
wherein the hand-held device is further configured to receive the seismic instrument arrangement information and instant message by installation of a terminal software, and display the seismic instrument arrangement information on a screen based on a setting by the line inspection personnel, or configured to transmit the instant message to the host server or transmit seismic instrument arrangement inquiry information, wherein the host server is further configured to determine whether it needs to receive information after internal software starts running and, wherein, if said information has been received, the host server is configured to determine whether said information is inquiry information or message information, wherein, if said information is inquiry information, the host server is configured to refresh, automatically, the seismic instrument arrangement information, extract arrangement data based on the inquiry information, and transmit to a corresponding inquirer, and wherein, if said information is message information, the host server is configured to display an instant message and give a warning and reminder, and wherein, software inside the host server is configured to obtain the seismic instrument arrangement information by setting two modes of automatic extraction and manual input, wherein the mode of automatic extraction, at a set certain time interval, causes the seismic instrument arrangement information to be obtained from a seismic data file generated by the seismic instrument, wherein the mode of manual input causes the seismic instrument arrangement information to be copied into the software inside the host server after the instrument operator tests an arrangement state, the software inside the host server is configured to, after obtaining the seismic instrument arrangement information, classify and store the seismic instrument arrangement information according to a preset threshold range and relevant conditions and transmit to a corresponding hand-held terminal device through the 2G/3G network, the software inside the host server is configured to refresh, repeatedly, the seismic instrument arrangement information at a preset time interval and repeatedly transmit newest seismic instrument arrangement information to the hand-held terminal device.

2. The monitoring system for use in seismic instrument arrangement in petroleum exploration according to claim 1 , wherein the host server includes:
a first software interface unit;
a data extraction unit;
a data classification storage unit; and
a first 2G/3G network communication unit, wherein the first software interface unit is configured to enable the instrument operator to set, order the host software, and line-check a corresponding state, wherein the data extraction unit is configured to perform at least one of the following operations: inputting the seismic instrument arrangement information, automatically reading a seismic instrument data file and making an inputting in batch by the instrument operator manually, wherein the data classification storage unit is configured to classify and store the extracted seismic data based on a setting by the instrument operator, wherein the first 2G/3G network communication unit is configured to receive and send corresponding information between the host server and the hand-held terminal device by a 2G/3G network, wherein the hand-held terminal device includes:
a second software interface unit;
a control unit;
a data processing unit; and
a second 2G/3G network communication unit, wherein the second software interface unit is configured to display the corresponding seismic data arrangement content on a data display unit of a hand-held terminal module based on setting requirements, wherein the control unit is configured to control an overall working process of the hand-held terminal module, wherein the data processing unit is configured to modulate and transmit, receive and demodulate, and classify and store data, and wherein the second 2G/3G network communication unit is configured to receive and send the corresponding information between the host server and the hand-held terminal device by the 2G/3G network.

3. The monitoring system for use in seismic instrument arrangement in petroleum exploration according to claim 1 , wherein:
the software inside the hand-held terminal device at the time of running first is configured to determine whether it has received information from the host server, and after receiving instant information, the software inside the hand-held terminal device is configured to determine whether said information is instant message information or seismic instrument arrangement information, wherein, if the received information is instant message information, the software inside the hand-held terminal device is configured to display said information and issue a warning sound to remind, wherein, if the received information is seismic instrument arrangement information, the software inside the hand-held terminal device is configured to store and display the seismic instrument arrangement information based on setting requirements, wherein the seismic instrument arrangement information is automatically refreshed at the time interval, wherein the hand-held terminal device is configured to enable the line inspection personnel to use the hand-held terminal device to transmit the instant message to the host server or set specific arrangement inquiry information.
