Abstract: A component measurement system includes an elongated test strip with a thin plate shape having a flow path for accommodating a liquid, and a component measurement device configured to accommodate the test strip and to detect a component in the liquid. The component measurement device includes a gripping mechanism that grips the test strip while biasing the test strip from a width direction.

Abstract: A test strip (12) includes a flow path (26) formed in a main body portion (20); a reagent portion (22b) provided in the flow path (26); and an intake portion (24) which is provided at a starting end of the flow path (26) and through which a sample is introduced into the flow path (26). The main body portion (20) is provided with a buffer space (28) communicating with a terminal end of the flow path (26), and a vent hole (30) opened at an outer surface of the main body portion (20) and communicating with the buffer space (28), and in a region where the buffer space (28) and the flow path (26) are connected, a cross-sectional area (Sb) of the buffer space (28) is larger than a cross-sectional area (S) of the flow path (26).

Abstract: It is possible to improve a measurement accuracy of a liquid flow volume, thereby improving reproducibility of a measured value. Provided is a flow volume measuring device including a light source which emits light to a measuring-target region; a light receiving element which receives light scattered at the measuring-target region from the light emitted from the light source; a contact member having translucency with respect to a wavelength of the emitted light and a wavelength of the scattered light, the contact member including a surface which faces the measuring-target region and with which the measuring-target region is contactable over the entire surface; and a flow volume measuring unit which measures a flow volume of liquid flowing through the measuring-target region based upon the scattered light.

Abstract: A component measurement system (10) includes a test strip (12) that includes a main body portion (20) for holding a sample, and a component measurement device (14) to which the test strip (12) is attached and that optically measures a component contained in the sample. The component measurement device (14) emits measurement light traveling in a thickness direction of the main body portion (20). The main body portion (20) includes a light shielding portion (32) that shields the measurement light, and the light shielding portion (32) includes a measurement opening (34) through which a measurement position (44) of the measurement light is formed on a reaction product of the sample that reacts with a reagent.

Abstract: A processor having hardware is provided. The processor creates, when the processor receives a creation request of group payment means for making a payment by electronic money using a first terminal and a second terminal that are associated with an organizer and a participant of a group, respectively, the group payment means in a wallet in which a plurality of payment means is registrable. The processor outputs a deposit request to a first server designated in the creation request, based on registration information of the group payment means acquired from the second terminal, to a second server designated in the registration information.

Abstract: A server includes a processor having hardware. The processor is configured to authenticate, upon acquiring from a first device a gift request for electronic money and a message for a second device, the gift request, execute a gifting process when the authentication is successful, and output gift details and the message to the second device.
