An image 32 of the schedule book shown in FIG. 2C shows a portion where the result of accepting the reservation of the periodic inspection by the service company is entered. This image 32 is for the day when the next periodic inspection is performed.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the system shown in FIG. First, the state notification device 5 of the automobile 2
Works. The state monitoring unit 21 of the state notification device 5 monitors the state of the vehicle 2 and stores a state change or a record of maintenance in the state information storage unit 23 (step S1).
-Step S2). The format is as illustrated in FIG. Then, in step S3, the process of step S4 is periodically executed by the operation of the timer. That is, for example, once a day or once a week, the status information stored in the status information storage unit 23 is transmitted to the terminal device 1 (step S4).

When the terminal device 1 receives the status information from the status notification device 5 in step S5, the status information is input to the schedule book by the schedule management means 13 (step S6). Thus, data in a format as shown in FIG. 2B is stored in the terminal device 1. Step S7 is a timer which is a process for periodically notifying the host computer 3 of the contents of the schedule management means 13. That is, the processing of step S8 is executed, for example, once a week or once a month, and the status information is notified to the host computer 3.
When the host computer 3 receives the notification of the status information from the terminal device 1, the host computer 3 analyzes the content and updates the status information database (step S10).

In this manner, the terminal device 1 automatically notifies the host computer 3 of the state of the automobile 2 and the date and time when the periodic inspection was performed, the mileage at that time, and the date and time when the consumables were replaced. Various data such as the running distance of the host computer 3 are stored in the state information database storage unit 25 of the host computer 3. Using this database, the host computer 3 can automatically manage the schedule for the maintenance of the automobile 2. For example, if the host computer 3 is located at a maintenance company of the vehicle 2, the required maintenance guidance is automatically sent to the user of the vehicle 2 according to the maintenance record and the mileage. The maintenance record may be analyzed by a mechanic.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the maintenance reservation processing operation in the host computer. This is a process in which the host computer accepts a reservation for the next periodic inspection. In step S11 in the figure, the host computer 3 refers to the contents stored in the state information database storage unit 25. In step S12, the state information analysis unit 26 determines that the state information
The maintenance reservation information stored in is stored. That is, FIG.
Next, the next inspection reservation information as shown in (b) is extracted. In addition to the periodic inspection, for example, the travel distance from when the oil element was replaced last time is calculated, and the next oil element replacement time is obtained.

In step S13, it is determined whether a reservation for inspection and maintenance can be accepted. The determination of the acceptability of the reservation is made with reference to maintenance work schedule data (not shown). If the reservation can be accepted, the process proceeds to step S14, where a reservation acceptance process is performed, and reservation acceptance information is created in step S15. The contents of the reservation reception information are as recorded in the schedule book shown in FIG. This is referred to as step S16
At the terminal device 1. In the terminal device 1, this information is recorded in the schedule book.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 in FIG. 4 that the reservation cannot be accepted, the flow advances to step S17 to create a request for a schedule change. Then, step S1
At 8, a schedule change request is transmitted to the terminal device 1. This request may be notified to the user of the terminal device 1 by e-mail or the like. If the next maintenance schedule is not specified, the reservation may be automatically changed to an appropriate schedule and the reservation may be accepted.

As described above, the schedule data for managing the automobile 2 is automatically input to the schedule book managed by the schedule management means 13 of the terminal device 1. Schedule management means 13 of terminal device 1
Notifies the user of the terminal device 1 of the state of the terminal device 1 by a pop-up message or the like when the schedule of the periodic inspection and maintenance approaches. As a result, appropriate schedule management for periodic inspection and maintenance is automatically performed without any awareness of the user.

In the above-described example, the reservation schedule for the inspection and maintenance is written in the schedule book in order to perform all the inspection and maintenance of the vehicle by the service company. However, for example, the oil exchange does not necessarily need to be performed by the service company. Therefore, the instruction data such as "The time for oil change has come" may be input to the schedule book. The user of the terminal device 1 may request a gas station or the like to change the oil according to the instruction data. As described above, this system can be easily constructed by utilizing the functions of the existing schedule book. Further, in the above example, the description has been made such that the user of the vehicle has the terminal device. However, the maintenance person of the vehicle may have the terminal device and manage the vehicle.

In step 2, non-life insurance information is extracted from the database. The non-life insurance information is information indicating, for example, the insurance amount, the insurance contract date, the insurance period, the insurance amount, and the like.

In step S23, the contract contents and the renewal schedule are analyzed. And step S
At 24, it is determined whether there is a problem with the contract contents. For example, in the case where the replacement of the car owned by the user is performed, the process proceeds to step S28 because the contents of the contract need to be changed. If there is no problem in the contract contents, the process proceeds to step S25 to perform a reservation accepting process of a contract renewal procedure. That is, a reservation to perform the contract renewal procedure is accepted on which day and month, and the host computer registers the schedule management information.

Next, in step S26, reservation reception information is created. This is data in a format recorded in the schedule book of the terminal device. In step S27,
The reservation reception information is transmitted to the terminal device 1. The result is entered in the schedule book. The displayed state is the same as that shown in FIG. In step S28, since there is a problem with the contract contents, a request for investigation is made to the contract department. The survey request may be automatically made by e-mail or facsimile, for example. After that, the person in charge explains the contract to the user.
