Abstract

L'invention concerne un système serveur-client comprenant une machine serveur et une machine client. Afin d'assurer un fonctionnement efficace de la machine client, les pannes d'équipement de cette dernière sont détectées en continu. Lorsque l'équipement de la machine client subit une panne, une information de panne est envoyée à la machine serveur. En fonction de cette information de panne, la machine serveur crée un message d'information constitué d'un plan de contrat de maintenance recommandé et d'une estimation du coût de réparation, et envoie cette information à la machine client.
