Abstract
A method for collecting machine data from a machine comprising the following steps: collecting image information displayed on a graphical user interface of a machine and transmitting the collected information to a computer unit; masking the collected information or information derived therefrom to define data regions; extracting alphanumeric characters from at least one data region by means of a text recognition program; writing the alphanumeric characters into a data structure; and storing or outputting the data structure.

A method for collecting machine data from a machine, comprising the following steps:
- collecting image information displayed on a graphical user interface of a machine and transmitting the collected information to a computer unit;
- masking the collected information or information derived therefrom to define data regions;
- extracting alphanumeric characters from at least one data region by means of a text recognition program;
- writing the alphanumeric characters into a data structure;
- and
- storing or outputting the data structure
- wherein, during operation of the machine, the image information is periodically collected at different points in time, alphanumeric characters are periodically extracted and the extracted characters are written into the data structure, so that the collected information contains information about the temporal change in the image information and the temporal change of machine data is inferred from the time-dependent course of the collected information.
A system for collecting machine data, comprising:
- a collection unit, by means of which image information displayed on a graphical user interface of a machine can be collected;
- a computer unit, which is coupled to the collection unit and which is designed to receive the information collected by the collection unit;
- wherein the computer unit is designed to mask the collected information or information derived therefrom to define data regions, to extract alphanumeric characters from at least one data region by means of a text recognition program, and to write the extracted alphanumeric characters into a data structure or to output the extracted alphanumeric characters into a data stream, wherein the computer unit is designed to, during operation of the machine, periodically collect the image information at different points in time, periodically extract alphanumeric characters and write the extracted characters into the data structure, so that the collected information contains information about the temporal change in the image information and the temporal change of machine data is inferred from the time-dependent course of the collected information.
