  • Publication number: 20150039377
    Abstract: An information output apparatus includes a replacement information storage part storing first information and second information for each of replacements of a plurality of devices. The first information and the second information are associated with each other. The first information indicates a use condition of each of the devices before replacement. The second information indicates each of the devices after replacement. A use condition storage part stores third information indicating a use condition of each device. A selection part selects one of the replacements for which information is stored in the replacement information storage part based on the third information stored in the use condition storage part with respect to the one of the devices for which replacement is requested. The output part outputs the second information that indicates one of the devices after replacement and is stored in the replacement information storage part with respect to the selected replacement.
