Abstract
The invention is adapted to acquire more useful log data. A master device (4) includes a timer element (45), adapted to acquire a moment; an instruction sending element (421), adapted to synchronize a moment measured by a slave timer element (14) of slave devices (1-3) with a moment acquired by the timer element (45) according to a time synchronization instruction containing moment information corresponding to the moment acquired by the timer element (45); and a slave log receiving element (423), adapted to receive slave logs (131).
Claims12
A master device, adapted to communicate with at least one slave device for recording generation of a specified event, and the master device comprising:
- a moment acquiring element, acquiring a moment;
- a moment adjustment instructing element, making the slave device to synchronize a moment counted by the slave device and the moment acquired by the moment acquiring element by sending a moment information corresponding to the moment acquired by the moment acquiring element, wherein the slave device is synchronized periodically with the master device;
- and
- a log receiving element, receiving a first event log from the slave device, wherein the first event log is an information formed by associating a generation moment of the event with an information for determining the event.
A slave device, adapted to communicate with a master device for acquiring a moment, and record generation of a specified event, and the slave device comprising:
- a timer element, counting a current moment;
- a moment information receiving element, receiving a moment information from the master device, corresponding to the moment acquired by the master device;
- a moment adjustment element, synchronizing the moment counted by the timer element according to the moment information received by the moment information receiving element, wherein the slave device is synchronized periodically with the master device;
- and
- a log sending element, sending a first event log to the master device, wherein the first event log is an information formed by associating a generation moment of the event with an information for determining the event.
A control method of a master device, wherein the master device is adapted to communicate with at least one slave device for recording generation of a specified event, the control method of the master device comprising:
- a moment acquiring step, acquiring a moment;
- a moment adjustment instructing step, making the slave device to synchronize a moment counted by the slave device and the moment acquired in the moment acquiring step by sending a moment information corresponding to the moment acquired in the moment acquiring step, wherein the slave device is synchronized periodically with the master device;
- and
- a log receiving step, receiving a first event log from the slave device, wherein the first event log is an information formed by associating a generation moment of the event with an information for determining the event.
A control method of a slave device, wherein the slave device is adapted to communicate with a master device acquiring a moment, and record generation of a specified event, and the control method of the slave device comprising:
- a time counting step, counting a current moment;
- a moment information receiving step, receiving a moment information from the master device, corresponding to the moment acquired by the master device;
- a moment adjustment step, synchronizing the moment counted in the time counting step according to the moment information received in the moment information receiving step, wherein the slave device is synchronized periodically with the master device;
- and
- a log sending step, sending a first event log to the master device, wherein the first event log is an information formed by associating a generation moment of the event with an information for determining the event.
