A data classification apparatus for classifying plural input data into plural categories, in which the apparatus includes a prototype select unit for selecting the prototype of the category nearest to the input data that has been read, a prototype evaluation unit for evaluating whether the selected prototype is proper, a prototype addition unit for adding a prototype in the case where the selected prototype is not proper and an internal data correcting unit for correcting at least one of the prototype and an area determining parameter specifying the size of the category area for each category in the case where the selected prototype is proper. The size of the category area can be set for each category, and therefore, the data can be properly classified and the judgment accuracy is improved in an application to fault detection and fault diagnosis.

Data classification method and apparatus

A remote maintenance system has a monitoring computer for monitoring a facility and a monitoring center computer for maintenance management. The monitoring computer has a database for storing image data of the monitored facility. The monitoring center computer a database for storing CAD data for the monitored facility. The monitoring center computer provides coordinates to the image data sent from the monitoring computer, and superposes the image coordinate data and CAD coordinate data for the CAD. The center computer locates a needed maintenance location on the basis of the result of the superposition processing.

A remote maintenance system is comprised of: a monitoring computer for monitoring a facility; and a monitoring center computer for using maintenance management. The monitoring computer has a database for storing image data of the monitored facility. The monitoring center computer includes: a database for storing CAD data for the monitored facility. The monitoring center computer provides coordinates to the image data sent from the monitoring computer, and superposes the image coordinate data and CAD coordinate data for the CAD. And the center computer locates a needed maintenance spot on the basis of a result of the superposition processing.
