Abstract

An integrated control device that assigns a same attribute to plural pieces of status information integrally monitored over at least two or more pieces of equipment, to derive integrated status information and integrate the plural pieces of status information. An integration processor derives the integrated status information such that a group of pieces of preset status information is referenced with respect to plural pieces of status information with a same attribute from among status information of monitoring target functions stored in monitoring data of equipment and provided for each of plural pieces of the equipment to be monitored or an operation applying an operator being set for each attribute to pieces of status information with the same attribute from among status information of monitoring target functions stored in monitoring data of equipment and provided for each of plural pieces of the equipment to be monitored is carried out.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An integrated control device that assigns, from among status information of monitoring target functions that is stored in monitoring data and is provided for each of a plurality of pieces of equipment to be monitored, a same attribute to a plurality of pieces of status information of monitoring target functions integrally monitored over at least two or more pieces of the equipment, and that integrates the plurality of pieces of status information of the monitoring target functions for each attribute, to derive integrated status information, the integrated control device comprising:
a monitoring data acquirer obtaining the monitoring data from each of the plurality of pieces of equipment; and
an integration processor determining a determined preset status information by applying each piece of the monitoring data having a same attribute obtained by the monitoring data acquirer to a corresponding lookup table in a plurality of lookup tables each providing a mapping from each possible combination of monitoring data obtained from each of the plurality of pieces of equipment to the determined preset status information according to a predetermined rule, the integration processor treating the determined preset status information as the integrated status information, and
the predetermined rule that maps the monitoring data to the determined preset status information in each of the lookup tables corresponds to first applying an arithmetic operator to a numerical representation of at least one piece of the monitoring data having the same attribute from each piece of equipment, and second applying a logical operator to one or more of the results of applying the arithmetic operator to the numerical representation of each piece of the monitoring data having the same attribute from each piece of equipment.

2. The integrated control device according to claim 1 , wherein the equipment is any one of a satellite, a mission facility for a satellite, and a ground station for a satellite.

3. The integrated control device according to claim 2 , wherein the monitoring data acquirer obtains the monitoring data of the equipment through a control device that controls operation of the equipment.

4. An integrated control device that assigns, from among status information of monitoring target functions that is stored in monitoring data and is provided for each of a plurality of pieces of equipment to be monitored, a same attribute to a plurality of pieces of status information of monitoring target function integrally monitored over at least two or more pieces of the equipment, and that integrates the plurality of pieces of status information of the monitoring target functions for each attribute, to derive integrated status information, the integrated control device comprising:
a monitoring data acquirer obtaining the monitoring data from each of a plurality of pieces of the equipment; and
an integration processor carrying out an operation of applying a predetermined operator being set for each attribute to pieces of status information with the same attribute included in the monitoring data obtained by the monitoring data acquirer, and the integration processor treating a result of the operation as the integrated status information, or treating information associated beforehand with the result of the operation as the integrated status information,
the predetermined operator includes first applying an arithmetic operator to a numerical representation of each piece of the monitoring data having the same attribute from each piece of equipment, and second applying a logical operator to one or more of the results of applying the arithmetic operator to the numerical representation of each piece of the monitoring data having the same attribute from each piece of equipment.

5. The integrated control device according to claim 4 , wherein the equipment is any one of a satellite, a mission facility for a satellite, or a ground station for a satellite.

6. The integrated control device according to claim 5 , wherein the monitoring data acquirer obtains the monitoring data of the equipment through a control device that controls operation of the equipment.
