FIELD: automatic equipment.
SUBSTANCE: method obtains the current event detected by the event detection device; if there is a target group of events that matches any group of events according to the linking rule and contains the current event among the received events, the target response action suitable for the target group of events is determined according to the linking rule, and the interval between the times of the presence of any two events in the target group of events does not exceed a predetermined allowable out-of-sync duration, wherein the allowable out-of-sync duration is the allowable maximum discrepancy range, so that two events whose presence time interval is less than the maximum discrepancy range are accepted as synchronously occurring events, while the association rule contains a predetermined correspondence between a group of events and a response action; wherein after receiving the current event detected by the event detection device, the method further includes determining a difference value between the time of presence and the time of receipt of the current event; if there is a target group of events that matches the group of events according to the linking rule and contains the current event among the received events, in the step of determining the target response action suitable for the target group of events, according to the linking rule: if the value of the difference meets a predetermined condition of the allowable delays and there is a target event group matching the event group by the association rule and containing the current event among the received events, determine the target response action suitable for the target group of events by the association rule; wherein after a target response appropriate for the target group of events is determined by the linking rule, the method further includes triggering, depending on the determined target response, a response device to perform the target response.
EFFECT: more reliable determination of the need to launch a response action on the response device.
