  • Patent number: 8370108
    Abstract: A diagnostic device detects a fault and estimates its cause based on the degree of change of measured data attributes. A diagnostic object change degree pattern (CDP) generation unit calculates the degree of change of each attribute of data, including attributes of the object being diagnosed measured from the object being diagnosed to generate a diagnostic object CDP which is a combination of values of the degree of change of the respective attributes. A criterion CDP memory holds in store a criterion CDP, formed of a pattern of values of the degree of change of the attributes of data measured from the object being diagnosed, in association with event(s)-to-be-diagnosed on the fault sort basis or on the fault cause basis. A CDP diagnosis unit effects pattern matching between the diagnostic object CDP and the criterion CDP in the criterion CDP memory to diagnose the object being diagnosed.

  • Patent number: 8275735
    Abstract: The present invention provides a diagnostic system that diagnoses a diagnostic object by applying a diagnostic rule to data measured on the diagnostic object wherein an object of the present invention is to allow the diagnostic rule to be updated based on a variety of diagnostic case data. Each of multiple diagnostic devices 101 makes a diagnosis by applying a diagnostic rule to diagnostic object data measured on a diagnostic object 104 and sends diagnostic case data, which includes diagnostic object data and its diagnostic result, to a diagnostic rule generation device 102 via a network 103. The diagnostic rule generation device 102 generates a diagnostic rule based on the diagnostic case data received from the multiple diagnostic devices 101 and sends the generated diagnostic rule to the diagnostic devices 101 via the network 103. The diagnostic devices 101 update a diagnostic rule in their devices with the diagnostic rule received from the diagnostic rule generation device 102.

  • Publication number: 20100131800
    Abstract: A diagnostic device which detects a fault and estimates its cause on the basis of the degree of variation of each attribute of data containing a plurality of attributes obtained by measuring a diagnosis subject. A diagnosis subject variation degree pattern generation means (110) calculates the degree of variation of each attribute of the diagnosis subject data containing the attributes obtained by measuring the diagnosis subject and generates a diagnosis subject variation degree pattern which is a combination of the degrees of variation of the attributes. A reference variation degree pattern storage device (150) stores a reference variation degree pattern composed of the degrees of variation of the attributes in association with the type of the fault and the diagnosis event of the type of the cause.
