An overall management server acquires device registration information in which device setting information including device identification information of a device and communication identification information set for causing the device to perform communication and application information on an application collecting information transmitted from the device are associated with each other and generates communication registration information associating communication contract information indicating a contract state of the communication with the device registration information.

Information providing apparatus, method for providing information, computer-readable recording medium, and device management system

A temperature difference power generation apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes a thermoelectric conversion element configured to convert thermal energy into electric energy based on a temperature difference, radiation fins which are thermally connected to a low-temperature side of the thermoelectric conversion element and contactable to outside air, and a pipe which is thermally connected to a high-temperature side of the thermoelectric conversion element and through which a high-temperature fluid at a higher temperature than the outside air is flowable.

Temperature difference power generation apparatus and measurement system

A data collection system including a device having a communication function and a data collection apparatus configured to collect data transmitted from the device. The data collection apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive data transmitted from the device, a data analyzer configured to acquire analyzed data by analyzing the received data according to analysis data format different for each device, a first data storage which is a non-rewritable storage, a second data storage which is storage that can be accessed faster than the first data storage and that stores a smaller amount of data than the first data storage, a data writer configured to writes and stores the data received by the receiver to the first data storage, and writes and stores the analyzed data acquired by the data analyzer to the second data storage.

Data collection system and data collection method

A device configuration management apparatus includes a logical node information storage storing logical node information about a logical node that can be associated with a particular device and a particular location, the logical node information including for each of logical nodes a device ID for identifying the particular device and location information which is information for identifying the location, a network information storage storing network information as a set of information about an edge connecting two logical nodes, and a node update processer configured to perform processing for updating at least one of the device ID and the location information with regard to the particular logical node in the logical node information stored in the logical node information storage.

Device configuration management apparatus, system, and program

A communication device includes a signal acquirer, a controller, and a wireless communicator. The signal acquirer has terminals for a plurality of types of interfaces for acquiring signals from an external field device. The controller acquires the signals output from the signal acquirer and performs control for externally transmitting digital data based on the signals using wireless communication. The wireless communicator externally transmits the digital data in accordance with a wireless communication scheme based on the control performed by the controller.
