Abstract

Provided is an ID space conversion system enabling an application to access a correct data resource by using a system ID. An ID space conversion function unit generates a non-overlapping unique system ID for each type of components based on a physical ID of a component included in a device D which is determined to be a correct device by a device configuration verification function unit. A sharing function unit shares, with a gateway, a gateway file including a correspondence relationship between the physical ID and the system ID included in the device D. Accordingly, the gateway adds, to data, the system ID, on the basis of the gateway-setting file, and outputs system ID-added data to a network. A data processing unit determines whether component data of the device D includes the generated system ID. Accordingly, it is determined whether the data is output from the correct device.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An ID space conversion system which consistently provides setting information to both a gateway and a data processing unit, to which a plurality of devices each including components are connected via the gateway and a network and a plurality of applications are connected, the data processing unit being configured to mediate data between the plurality of devices and the plurality of applications, the system comprising:

a processor;
and
a storage medium having computer program instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, perform to:
generate a non-overlapping unique system ID for each type of the components on the basis of a physical ID of a component included in the device;
and
create gateway-setting information including a correspondence relationship between the physical ID of the component included in the device and the system ID generated by the ID space conversion function unit, and shares the gateway-setting information with the gateway,
wherein the data processing unit determines whether data of the component of the device sent from the device via the gateway includes the generated system ID, and
the gateway adds, based on the created gateway-setting information, to the data of the component obtained from the device, the generated system ID corresponding to the physical ID of the component included in the device to output system ID-added data to the network.
