Abstract

An inspection device calculates information on a difference between operation definition information including preset operation specifications of an apparatus or a system and operation data, and identifies the apparatus or the system which performs an operation different from the same kind of apparatuses or the same kind of systems on the basis of the information on the difference.

Claims (24)

1 . An inspection device comprising:

a memory; and

processing circuitry configured to:

calculate information on a difference on the basis of operation definition information including preset operation specifications of an apparatus or a system and operation data; and

identify the apparatus or the system which performs an operation different from the same kind of apparatuses or the same kind of systems on the basis of the information on the difference.

2 . The inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry compares the operation definition information in which configuration information including components with respect to a configuration of the apparatus or the system is associated with operation specifications based on the components with the operation data that is information on an actual operation of the apparatus or the system, and calculates, as the information on the difference, information on presence/absence of a difference between the operation specifications and the operation data and information on content of a difference between the operation specifications and the operation data.

3 . The inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processing circuitry identifies a component that causes the difference using previously acquired information on differences in the same kind of apparatuses or the same kind of systems as the apparatus or the system.

4 . The inspection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to acquire the operation definition information from a predetermined external storage device.

5 . The inspection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to acquire the information on the difference from a predetermined external storage device.

6 . The inspection device according to claim 1 ,

wherein

the processing circuitry is further configured to update the operation definition information when the information on the difference calculated by the calculation unit and the information on differences in the same kind of apparatuses or the same kind of systems as the apparatus or the system satisfy predetermined conditions.

7 . An inspection method executed by an inspection device, comprising:

calculating information on a difference on the basis of operation definition information including preset operation specifications of an apparatus or a system and operation data; and

identifying the apparatus or the system which performs an operation different from the same kind of apparatuses or the same kind of systems on the basis of the information on the difference.

8 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an inspection program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

calculating information on a difference on the basis of operation definition information including preset operation specifications of an apparatus or a system and operation data; and

identifying the apparatus or the system which performs an operation different from the same kind of apparatuses or the same kind of systems on the basis of the information on the difference.
