Line management assistance device, line management assisting method, and recording medium

A line management assisting method to be implemented by a line management assistance device connectable to at least two sensors installed on a line and connectable to a host device, the line management assisting method comprising:

• registering, by a registerer, the installed sensors and use conditions for the sensors in association with each other;
• receiving, by a receiver, a management condition specified as a condition for managing the line;
• displaying, by a display, assistance information indicating a list of candidates for a sensor to be used to manage the line, the candidates being one or more sensors associated with a use condition of the registered use conditions, the use condition having a degree of similarity to the management condition exceeding a threshold;
• acquiring, by an acquirer, data output from the one or more sensors being the candidates selected from the list;
• and
• outputting, by an outputter, to the host device, output information acquired by associating condition information as metadata with the data or a resultant acquired by performing a predetermined operation on the data, the condition information indicating the use condition associated with the selected one or more sensors being the candidates.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a program, the program causing a line management assistance device connectable to at least two sensors installed on a line and connectable to a host device to function as

• a registerer to register the installed sensors and use conditions for the sensors in association with each other,
• a receiver to receive a management condition specified as a condition for managing the line,
• a display to display assistance information indicating a list of candidates for a sensor to be used to manage the line, the candidates being one or more sensors associated with a use condition of the registered use conditions, the use condition having a degree of similarity to the management condition exceeding a threshold,
• an acquirer to acquire data output from the one or more sensors being the candidates selected from the list, and
• an outputter to output, to the host device, output information acquired by associating condition information as metadata with the data or a resultant acquired by performing a predetermined operation on the data, the condition information indicating the use condition associated with the selected one or more sensors being the candidates.
