Abstract
Even when the number of apparatuses and GUI terminals increase, the load of data retrieval processing does not increase in the group administration apparatus, and hence data retrieval and display onto the GUI terminals are to be performed rapidly. Data pieces transmitted from apparatuses are classified for each group by a group administration apparatus. Thus, for example, when temperature information is to be displayed on a GUI terminal, a temperature information group is set into a retrieval condition for each display item, while a temperature setting value and a temperature monitor value are set into types. Then, these data pieces are transferred to the group administration apparatus. Then, with reference to the retrieval conditions of a plurality of display items acquired from the GUI terminal, the group administration apparatus merges display items of the same condition into one retrieval item. By virtue of this, data acquisition for the data stored in the group administration apparatus is achieved by a request on a group basis. This reduces the number of times of retrieval for the apparatus data.
