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: A monitoring system for monitoring the state of a monitoring object apparatus so as to detect a foretoken of failure. A host computer (100) of a manufacturer/dealer of a clinical check apparatus (200) receives state data of respective parts from parts sensors (203a, 203b, . . .) of the clinical check apparatus (200) of a user and the received state data is compared to a prediction condition stored in a condition storage block (104) in a state monitoring block (105), thereby detecting a foretoken of failure. The prediction condition includes a condition created in accordance with service life of each of the parts and a condition created upon occurrence of a failure in accordance with transition of the state data prior to the occurrence of the failure.

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).

Abstract: A mediating system in which a system mediates a transaction between a buyer and a seller, and in which a system usage charge collected from vendors that have joined the system as sellers is determined based on an evaluation of each vendor, making it possible to increase the eagerness of each trader and induce motivation. A server of the provider A of the mediating system makes an overall evaluation of each vendor (user C) based on, for example, the time to reply to a request for quote from a user B who is a buyer, the negotiation attitude, the reasonableness of the price, the delivery time, product quality, and business situation, etc., and determines the usage charge according to the evaluation.
