  • Patent number: 11689594
    Abstract: A data division unit divides each of a plurality of stream data pieces input in a time series into divided data by a predetermined time unit. Each of a plurality of data processing units executes predetermined processing on the stream data. An allocation determination unit determines a combination of the divided data of each of the plurality of stream data pieces and the data processing unit executing the predetermined processing on each of the divided data pieces based on a correlation between processing loads on the plurality of stream data pieces. A data distribution unit distributes the divided data to the data processing unit in accordance with the combination determined by the allocation determination unit.

  • Patent number: 11587415
    Abstract: Provided is a data stream allocation system capable of suppressing inequality in processing loads on a plurality of servers and delays in analysis processing at the servers when the servers analyze the objects of analysis using data streams obtained from a plurality of camera systems. The allocation determination unit 4 allocates data streams obtained from a plurality of camera systems to a plurality of servers according to the unevenness in the number of objects in the surveillance region. Then, the distribution unit 5, in accordance with the results of the allocation of the data streams to the plurality of servers, distributes each of the data streams obtained from the camera systems to the server to which the data stream has been allocated.

  • Publication number: 20220365819
    Abstract: A load balancing system (1) according to the present disclosure includes a processing unit (10-1), a processing unit (10-2) that processes a processing result of the processing unit (10-1), a processing unit (10-3) that processes a processing result of the processing unit (10-2), a resource management unit (20-1), a resource management unit (20-2), and a resource management unit (20-3). When the resource management unit (20-2) detects an occurrence of an overload in the processing unit (10-2), the resource management unit (20-2) starts to add a resource of the processing unit (10-2), the resource management unit (20-3) starts to add a resource of the processing unit (10-3), and the resource management unit (20-1) starts to suppress throughput of the processing unit (10-1). When it is completed to add resources of the processing units (10-2) and (10-3), the resource management unit (20-1) cancels suppression of throughput of the processing unit (10-1).
