Computer system, and method and program for controlling edge device

A computer system that performs machine learning with an edge device connected with a gateway, comprising:

• a detection unit that detects an edge device connected with the gateway;
• a combination determination unit that determines the combination of the detected edge devices;
• a program determination unit that determines a program for an edge device and a program for machine learning based on the determined combination;
• an execution unit that causes the edge devices to execute the program for an edge device and causes a predetermined computer to execute the program for machine learning;
• an acquisition unit that acquires the performance of the detected edge device;
• a transmission unit that transmits data and teacher data corresponding thereto to the edge device according to the acquired performance;
• and
• a control unit that controls the edge device to perform machine learning for the data by using the teacher data.

A method for controlling an edge device that performs machine learning with an edge device connected with a gateway, comprising the steps of:

• detecting an edge device connected with the gateway;
• determining the combination of the detected edge devices;
• determining a program for an edge device and a program for machine learning based on the determined combination;
• causing the edge devices to execute the program for an edge device and causing a predetermined computer to execute the program for machine learning;
• acquiring the performance of the detected edge device;
• transmitting data and teacher data corresponding thereto to the edge device according to the acquired performance;
• and
• controlling the edge device to perform machine learning for the data by using the teacher data.
