Abstract

Provided a management node etc. that is possible to alleviate a delay in a time to start analyzing sensor data. The management node analyzes sensor data collected by a sensor device, and includes: an assessment unit configured to determines whether a first time period required to process the sensor data at a center node within a data center is larger than a prescribed threshold; and a determination unit configured to determines the sensor data is to be analyzed at the center node when the first time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold.

Claims (27)

1. A management node analyzing sensor data collected in a sensor device, the management node comprising:

a memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to process the instructions to implement:

an assessment unit configured to determines whether a first time period required to process the sensor data at a center node within a data center is larger than a prescribed threshold; and

a determination unit configured to determines the sensor data is to be analyzed at the center node when the first time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold, wherein

when the first time period is larger than the prescribed threshold, the assessment unit determines whether a second time period required to process the sensor data at an edge node positioned at a location near the sensor device is larger than the prescribed threshold, and

when the second time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold, the determination unit determines that the sensor data is to be analyzed at the edge node.

2. The management node according to claim 1 , wherein

when the second time period is larger than the prescribed threshold, the determination unit determines not to analyze the sensor data.

3. The management node according to claim 1 , wherein

when the sensor data is determined to be analyzed in the center node or the edge node, the determination unit determines an aggregated number representing a number of a plurality of sensor data to be aggregated.

4. The management node according to claim 3 , wherein

the determination unit determines the aggregated number, based on a throughput representing an efficiency in analyzing a plurality of sensor data and on the prescribed threshold.

5. The management node according to claim 3 , wherein

the determination unit determines the aggregated number, based on a compression ratio representing a ratio with which a plurality of sensor data are compressed and on the prescribed threshold.

6. The management node according to claim 1 , wherein

the assessment unit determines the prescribed threshold, based on a property of the sensor data.

7. A management method analyzing sensor data collected in a sensor device, the management method characterized by comprising:

determining whether a first time period required to process the sensor data at a center node within a data center is larger than a prescribed threshold; and

determining the sensor data is to be analyzed at the center node when the first time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold, wherein

when the first time period is larger than the prescribed threshold, determining whether a second time period required to process the sensor data at an edge node positioned at a location near the sensor device is larger than the prescribed threshold, and

when the second time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold, determining that the sensor data is to be analyzed at the edge node.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for analyzing sensor data collected in a sensor device, characterized by the program causing a computer to execute:

a process of determining whether a first time period required to process the sensor data at a center node within a data center is larger than a prescribed threshold; and

a process of determining the sensor data is to be analyzed at the center node when the first time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold, wherein

a process of determining whether a second time period required to process the sensor data at an edge node positioned at a location near the sensor device is larger than the prescribed threshold when the first time period is larger than the prescribed threshold, and

a process of determining that the sensor data is to be analyzed at the edge node when the second time period is equal to or less than the prescribed threshold.
