Information processing apparatus, method and program

An information processing method performed by a processor provided in an information processing apparatus of a data processing system in which one or more application programs and a plurality of sensor devices are connected to a database via a network, the information processing apparatus comprising a hardware processor and a memory connected to the hardware processor, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the information processing apparatus, one of requests from the application programs and data from the sensor devices;
• managing, by the information processing apparatus, attribute information about a resource in the memory;
• processing, by the information processing apparatus, the data received from sensor devices based on the attribute information to obtain processed data;
• performing, by the information processing apparatus, a conversion appropriate to the resource on the processed data to obtain converted data;
• and
• storing, by the information processing apparatus, the converted data in an appropriate schema in the database;
• wherein processing the data includes storing the data received from the sensor device together in the resource, and
• wherein processing the data includes checking the attribute information of the resource when the application program or the sensor device inputs and outputs data to/from the resource, and processing the data based on identification of the resource to be accessed or data management condition;
• wherein the attribute information includes any one of:
• (1) information that prescribes timing intended to reduce frequency of attribute checking to permit some excess over a capacity limit of a container for use to accumulate information from at least the sensor device, without excess over the capacity limit greatly;
• and
• (2) memory area information in a ring buffer corresponding to information from the sensor device.

A non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium having stored thereon an information processing program for causing a hardware processor to execute:

• receiving one of requests from application programs and data from sensor devices;
• managing attribute information about a resource in a memory;
• processing the data received from sensor devices based on the attribute information to obtain processed data;
• performing a conversion appropriate to the resource on the processed data to obtain converted data;
• and
• storing the converted data in an appropriate schema in a database;
• wherein processing the data includes storing the data received from the sensor device together in the resource, and
• wherein processing the data includes checking the attribute information of the resource when the application program or the sensor device inputs and outputs data to/from the resource, and processing the data based on identification of the resource to be accessed or data management condition;
• wherein the attribute information includes any one of:
• (1) information that prescribes timing intended to reduce frequency of attribute checking to permit some excess over a capacity limit of a container for use to accumulate information from at least the sensor device, without excess over the capacity limit greatly;
• and
• (2) memory area information in a ring buffer corresponding to information from the sensor device.
