Abstract

An agent device 1 of a monitoring system 5 includes: an acquisition unit 22 that sequentially acquires monitored values from a processing unit 21 ; a removal unit 23 that generates denoised monitored values by removing noise from the monitored values; and a transmission unit that transmits the denoised monitored values to a manager device 2 . The manager device 2 includes a determination unit 62 that determines the monitoring interval, at which monitored values are acquired from the agent device 1 , by referencing the denoised monitored values acquired from the agent device 1.

Claims (44)

1 . A monitoring system comprising

an agent device and a manager device connected to the agent device, wherein

the agent device includes one or more processors configured to:

sequentially acquire monitored values from a processing unit,

generate denoised monitored values by removing noise from the monitored values, and

transmit the denoised monitored values to the manager device, and

the manager device includes one or more processors configured to

determine a monitoring interval, at which the monitored values are acquired from the agent device, by referencing the denoised monitored values acquired from the agent device.

2 . The monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein

the manager device includes one or more processors configured to

request the monitored values from the agent device at determined monitoring intervals.

3 . The monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein

the agent device includes one or more processors configured to generate the denoised monitored values on the basis of a moving average of monitored values for a predetermined period.

4 . The monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein

the agent device includes one or more processors configured to generate the denoised monitored values on the basis of a discrete Fourier transform of monitored values for a predetermined period.

5 . The monitoring system according to claim 1 , wherein

the manager device includes one or more processors configured to change the monitoring interval in accordance with a similarity between a predicted value estimated from previous denoised monitored values and the denoised monitored values acquired from the agent device.

6 . A monitoring method comprising:

sequentially acquiring, by an agent device, monitored values from a processing unit;

generating, by the agent device, denoised monitored values by removing noise from the monitored values;

transmitting, by the agent device, the denoised monitored values to a manager device; and

determining, by the manager device, a monitoring interval, at which the monitored values are acquired from the agent device, by referencing the denoised monitored values acquired from the agent device.

7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more instructions causing a computer to function as an agent device that executes:

sequentially acquiring monitored values from a processing unit;

generating denoised monitored values by removing noise from the monitored values; and

transmitting the denoised monitored values to a manager device.

8 . (canceled)

9 . The monitoring method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

requesting, by the manager device, the monitored values from the agent device at determined monitoring intervals.

10 . The monitoring method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

generating, by the agent device, the denoised monitored values on the basis of a moving average of monitored values for a predetermined period.

11 . The monitoring method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

generating, by the agent device, the denoised monitored values on the basis of a discrete Fourier transform of monitored values for a predetermined period.

12 . The monitoring method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

changing, by the manager device, the monitoring interval in accordance with a similarity between a predicted value estimated from previous denoised monitored values and the denoised monitored values acquired from the agent device.

13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein:

the manager device determines a monitoring interval, at which the monitored values are acquired from the agent device, by referencing the denoised monitored values acquired from the agent device, and

the manager device requests the monitored values from the agent device at determined monitoring intervals.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13 , wherein

the manager device changes the monitoring interval in accordance with a similarity between a predicted value estimated from previous denoised monitored values and the denoised monitored values acquired from the agent device.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein one or more instructions further cause the computer to execute:

generating the denoised monitored values on the basis of a moving average of monitored values for a predetermined period.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein one or more instructions further cause the computer to execute:

generating the denoised monitored values on the basis of a discrete Fourier transform of monitored values for a predetermined period.
