Abstract
Information representing an operating state of each of a plurality of robots, etc. operating under different operation conditions are retrieved and outputted. A retrieval system (1) includes; an acquisition means (24) for acquiring, from a plurality of machines (25) being used under respectively different operation conditions, information representing an operating state of each of the plurality of machines; an accumulation means (13) for accumulating information representing a plurality of operating states thus acquired; and a search means (12) for accepting search criteria for searching the information accumulated in the accumulation means (13), retrieving information representing an operating state agreeing with the search criteria from the accumulation means (13), and outputting a search result.
Claims8
A retrieval system comprising:
- an acquisition means for acquiring, from a plurality of machines being used under respectively different operation conditions, information representing an operating state of each of the plurality of machines;
- an accumulation means for accumulating information representing a plurality of the operating states thus acquired;
- a search means for accepting search criteria for searching the information accumulated in the accumulation means, retrieving information representing an operating state in a case of the information representing the operating state agreeing with the search criteria from the accumulation means, and outputting a search result, and
- a management means for requesting information representing the operating state, from among the plurality of operating states, agreeing with the search criteria from a machine information database containing information different from the information accumulated in the accumulation means and the plurality of machines, wherein the machine information database is not one of the plurality of machines, in a case of information representing an operating state agreeing with the search criteria not being accumulated in the accumulation means, as a result of a search by the search means.
A retrieval method performed by a computer, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring, from a plurality of machines utilized under respectively different operation conditions, information representing an operating state of each of the plurality of machines;
- accumulating the information representing a plurality of the operating states thus acquired in an accumulation means;
- accepting search criteria for searching the information accumulated in the accumulation means, retrieving information representing an operating state in a case of the information representing the operating state agreeing with the search criteria from the accumulation means, and outputting a search result, and
- requesting information representing the operating state, from among the plurality of operating states, agreeing with the search criteria from a machine information database containing information different from the information accumulated in the accumulation means and the plurality of machines, wherein the machine information database is not one of the plurality of machines, in a case of information representing an operating state agreeing with the search criteria not being accumulated in the accumulation means, as a result of a search by the search means.
