Abstract: This reverse osmosis membrane processing method comprises adjusting processing-target water to a pH range of 4 to 8 and passing the water through a reverse osmosis membrane device. The reverse osmosis membrane processing method is characterized in that alkaline water having a pH of 9.5 or higher is brought into contact intermittently with the reverse osmosis membrane of the reverse osmosis membrane device. Raw water may be preprocessed with active carbon, or the like, to serve as the processing-target water. If the processing-target water has a pH of 9.5 or higher, this processing-target water may be used as the alkaline water.

Abstract: A terminal detection method that includes a search step, a first acquisition step, a second acquisition step, and a detection step. The search step transmits a response request through broadcast communication and searches a terminal device that exists within a predetermined range. The first acquisition step acquires, from the terminal device, at least specific information of the terminal device. The second acquisition step executes communication with the terminal device based on the specific information acquired in the first acquisition step and acquires second information that indicates a function possessed by the terminal device. The detection step detects that the terminal device has a desired function based on the first information acquired in the first acquisition step and the second information acquired in the second acquisition step.
