Abstract

A data collection system includes a plurality of receiving-side devices configured to acquire predetermined data, a transmitting-side device configured to collect the predetermined data, and a message delivery control device. The message delivery control device includes at least one processor configured to: store, in a first storage, for each of a plurality of logical channels, information about a receiving-side device with respect to which a delivery request for a message is registered, among the plurality of receiving-side devices; receive, from the transmitting-side device, a message specifying a first logical channel among the plurality of logical channels and requesting for transmission of the predetermined data; extract a predetermined number of receiving-side devices from receiving-side devices with respect to which the delivery request is registered to the first logical channel; and transmit the message received from the transmitting-side device to the predetermined number of receiving-side devices.

Claims (27)

1. A data collection system comprising:

a plurality of receiving-side devices configured to acquire predetermined data;

a transmitting-side device configured to collect the predetermined data; and

a message delivery control device, wherein

the message delivery control device includes at least one processor configured to:

store, in a first storage, for each of a plurality of logical channels, information about a receiving-side device with respect to which a delivery request for a message is registered, among the plurality of receiving-side devices,

receive, from the transmitting-side device, a message specifying a first logical channel among the plurality of logical channels and requesting for transmission of the predetermined data,

extract a predetermined number of receiving-side devices from receiving-side devices with respect to which the delivery request is registered to the first logical channel, and

transmit the message received from the transmitting-side device to the predetermined number of receiving-side devices.

2. The data collection system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from the transmitting-side device, condition information about reception of the predetermined data, together with the message, and

extract the predetermined number of receiving-side devices based on the condition information.

3. The data collection system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

store, in a second storage, in relation to the transmitting-side device, condition information about reception of the predetermined data, and

extract the predetermined number of receiving-side devices based on the condition information.

4. The data collection system according to claim 2 , wherein the condition information includes a length of a predetermined unit time, and the number of pieces of the predetermined data desired by the transmitting-side device per the predetermined unit time.

5. The data collection system according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform, based on the condition information, every predetermined unit time, extraction of receiving-side devices amounting to the number of pieces of the predetermined data, from the receiving-side devices with respect to which the delivery request is registered to the first logical channel, and transmission of the message that is received to the receiving-side devices, amounting to the number of pieces of the predetermined data, that are extracted.

6. A data collection method performed by a message delivery control device of a data collection system including a plurality of receiving-side devices configured to acquire predetermined data, a transmitting-side device configured to collect the predetermined data, and the message delivery control device, the method comprising:

storing, in a storage, information about a receiving-side device with respect to which a delivery request for a message is registered, among the plurality of receiving-side devices, for each of a plurality of logical channels;

receiving, from the transmitting-side device, a message specifying a first logical channel among the plurality of logical channels and requesting for transmission of the predetermined data;

extracting a predetermined number of receiving-side devices from receiving-side devices with respect to which the delivery request is registered to the first logical channel; and

transmitting the message received from the transmitting-side device to the predetermined number of receiving-side devices.

7. A message delivery control device comprising at least one processor configured to:

store, in a storage, for each of a plurality of logical channels, information about a receiving-side device with respect to which a delivery request for a message is registered, among a plurality of receiving-side devices configured to acquire predetermined data;

receive, from a transmitting-side device configured to collect the predetermined data, a message specifying a first logical channel among the plurality of logical channels and requesting for transmission of the predetermined data;

extract a predetermined number of receiving-side devices from receiving-side devices with respect to which the delivery request is registered to the first logical channel; and

transmit the message received from the transmitting-side device to the predetermined number of receiving-side devices.
