DATA DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND DATA DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability of data while maintaining overall throughput of a system. SOLUTION: The data distribution management system is provided with an imaging part: a distribution node; one or more processing nodes; an accumulation node; and an instruction node. In the data distribution management system, each node repeatedly transmits and receives state information to/from the other node. When acquiring image data from the imaging part, the distribution node determines a destination node on the basis of the state notification, and distributes the image data. The processing node accumulates the image data distributed from the distribution node, and executes inspection processing according to an instruction to execute the inspection processing issued by the instruction node, and transmits the inspection result to the accumulation node. The accumulation node accumulates the image data distributed from the distribution node and the inspection result received from the processing node. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
