The data processing system at least uses: a measurement apparatus (10) provided with a display screen (13); a terminal (20); and a server (30). The measurement apparatus (10) includes: a measurement portion for obtaining measurement data; a code transforming portion for transforming the measurement data into a bar code, a two-dimensional code (8) or a composite code; and a display portion for displaying the code on the display screen.

Abstract: A measurement support system includes a measurement device and a management device connected to the measurement device via a communications network. When the measurement device uses consumable materials such as reagents, the management device manages the stock of consumable materials, supplies the consumable materials, and corrects measured data in accordance with the state of the consumable materials. Thus, the measurement support system can reduce the burden on users of the measurement device. The reagents that are used in measurement by a personal measuring instrument (3) located at each of patients' homes (B, C, . . . ) are assigned a reagent ID number beforehand. This reagent ID number and measured data are transmitted to a host computer (1) of a medical institution (A). The host computer (1) determines the stock of reagents based on the consumable material identifier received from the personal measuring instrument (3) and ships the reagents to the patient's home when the stock is running low.

Abstract: When a network connection request is sent from a user's personal computer (2) to a server (1) on the Internet (5), the server (1) sends an authentication confirmation number generated by a random number generating unit (13) to the personal computer (2) of the connection requester. The connection requester connects a portable telephone (3) to a modem (4) and enters the authentication confirmation number displayed on the personal computer (2) through operation of keys of the portable telephone (3). An authentication unit (16) authenticates the connection request of the connection requester to set up connection to the network if the telephone number of the portable telephone (3) stored in a user information storage unit (12) agrees with the telephone number sent to the modem (4) and if the authentication confirmation number entered through the portable telephone (3) is correct.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a remote data management system with which, by keeping the transmission of measured data from measurers from being concentrated at particular times, the measured data can be gathered efficiently and the party managing the data can suffice with a minimal equipment investment. In patient households (B, C . . . ), a personal measuring device (3) is connected to a communications device (2) via a cable or the like, and data that are measured by the personal measuring device (3) are transferred to the communications device (2) and stored. A server (1) of a medical institution (A) sends a data transmission request to the communications device (2) in each patient's household via a public communications network 10 daily, biweekly, or monthly, for example. When the communications device (2) receives the data transmission request it transmits the stored measured data to the server (1).
