Moreover, not only the prediction result that the failure is approaching from the maintenance company 4 is notified to the device manufacturer 5, but also the prediction result that the failure is approaching is notified from the ASP 2 to the device manufacturer 5. Thereby, for example, even if there is no notification from the ASP 2 due to the cause of a machine trouble, the device manufacturer 5 can know the prediction result that the failure is approaching by the notification from the maintenance company 4.

  Presentation and notification from the user terminal 1 connected to the network to the outside is an APL (a programming language that a standard device has as a standard, and is intended to be simplified by numerical processing and logical processing. In a conversational language) that can be easily received by the HTTP or HTTPS system, or can be notified by mail that a general device has as standard. As shown in FIG. 4, the user terminal 1 having a self-diagnosis function is configured to generate notification information when the determination unit 8 determines that notification is necessary, and the notification generated by the user terminal 1 is generated.

When this alarm decoding server S3 determines whether to operate the notification means 12 of the maintenance company 4 by decoding the received notification information (alarm notification), and when determining to operate the notification means 12, A Push tag (Alarm tag, Warning tag, Abnormal tag, etc.) may be added to the decoded notification information (alarm notification). The notification information to which the Push tag is added after determining that the notification means 12 is operated by the alarm decoding server S3 is sent to the maintenance company by the transmission means 14 provided in the HTTP server S1 or the mail server S2 (located in the maintenance company 4). 4 informing means 12.

  In addition, the maintenance company 4 includes a presentation device 15 that receives the notification information transmitted by the transmission unit 14 and presents the notification information. The presentation device 15 determines whether or not the Push tag is added to the notification information, and determines that the Push tag is added to the notification information by the tag determination unit. A presentation unit that presents notification information (alarm notification) based on the tag; for example, displays the notification information (contents of the notification information) on a screen of a liquid crystal panel included in the maintenance management terminal 10; Therefore, the alarm decoding server S3 can accurately determine whether or not to operate the notification means 12 of the maintenance company 4 by decoding the notification information generated by the user terminal 1. Moreover, the presentation apparatus 15 can discriminate | determine that the tag is added to the alerting | reporting information which the transmission means 14 transmitted, and can show this alerting | reporting information reliably. Further, the presentation device 15 determines that the Push tag is added by the tag determination unit, that is, the presentation device 15 determines that the Push tag is added by the tag determination unit, and enables the Push state. It has a function, that is, a function to notify immediately. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the notification information (alarm notification) from being buried. Further, in preparation for a situation such as disconnection of the network, a presentation function by the HTTP or HTTPS system is provided directly from the user terminal 1. Here, the case where the maintenance company 4 is provided with the HTTP server S1 (or mail server S2) and the alarm decoding server S3 is shown, but the HTTP server S1 (or mail server S2) and the alarm decoding server S3 are other than the maintenance company 4. The HTTP server S1 (or mail server S2), the alarm decoding server S3, and the maintenance company 4 may be connected by a communication line.

  By causing the CPU of the user terminal 1 to function as described above, it is possible to accurately identify which electronic component is likely to fail. Moreover, failure of electronic components can be predicted even in a stand-alone manner. Then, it is possible to determine whether or not the predicted failure time of the electronic component is a time when notification is necessary.

  Further, when the terminal program determines that it is a time when notification is required by the determination function, the terminal program provides the Internet to a maintenance company 4 that performs maintenance management of a plurality of electronic components provided in the user terminal 1. The CPU of the user terminal 1 is caused to function as a transmission function to be transmitted through.
