The server 2 performs user registration (step S5), transmits an ID and a password to the requesting terminals 1a to 1d that have transmitted the user registration contents, and updates the user data file 208 (step S6). . After that, the requesting terminals 1a to 1d respond to the operation of the user,
The server 2 arbitrarily accesses the server 2 and requests distribution of the experiment list (step S7). In response to this request, the server 2
The experiment list file 210 created and added in step S3 is read, an experiment list is generated (step S8), and distributed to the requesting terminals 1a to 1d (step S9). The requesting terminals 1a to 1d detect the click on the check box, thereby detecting the experiment name selected by the user's operation from the distributed experiment list (step S10), and transmitting the detection result to the server 2. (Step S11).

The server 2 stores a record No. corresponding to the detected experiment name. From the experiment contents data file 209
Is searched, and the ID (Experimental Facility I
D) and record No. An input screen for necessary experimental parameters is generated from the data excluding the above (step S12) and transmitted to the requesting terminals 1a to 1d (step S13). The requesting terminals 1a to 1d detect the input of parameters by the user. (Step S14), and transmits the result to the server 2 (Step S15).

The server 2 updates the reception content data file 211 based on the transmission information (step S1).
Along with 6), the experiment equipment data file 207 is searched from the record newly registered in the reception content data file, and the substitute terminals 3a to 3a to 3c of the experimental equipment for performing the experiment selected by the requesting terminals 1a to 1d on behalf of the experiment equipment data file 207. 3d is specified and an experiment request is notified (step S1).
7), new registration is made in the experiment result data file 212 (step S18).

The proxy terminals 3a to 3d receive the notification, execute an experiment (step S19), and transmit the experiment result to the server 2 (step S20). Server 2
The experiment result is temporarily stored in the corresponding folder, the experiment result data file 212 is updated, a medium containing the experiment result is produced (step S21), and the medium is delivered to the user who requested the medium and a fee is collected (step S21).
22).

According to the operation model described above, the system operating the server 2 adds a fee to the experiment contents registered by the proxy terminals 3a to 3d and stores them in the experiment contents data file 209. File 209
The extracted experiment list file 210 can be transmitted in response to a request from the requesting terminals 1a to 1d,
The user confirms that the name of the experiment for which the user wishes to perform the proxy processing is on the experiment list, operates the requesting terminals 1a to 1d, and performs the proxy processing via the server 2 for the proxy processing. You can request the equipment and receive the experimental results in the form of media. Therefore, the user
Without having to own any experimental equipment or considering the dangers associated with the experiment, it is possible to see if the theory and hypothesis are correct with the help of a processing agent.

FIG. 21 is a flow chart of a process corresponding to the conceptual diagram of FIG. In this figure, when an experiment agency processor (experiment agency processing service company 81) receives a request for an experiment agency process from a user (steps A1 and B1), it presents the experiment agency processing fee to the user (steps A2 and B2).
2) If the user accepts the fee and specifies the relay (relay of the experimental data by the broadcast station 82) and the relay time (steps B3, B4, B5), the relay request is confirmed (step B3, B4, B5). A3) If it is possible to relay, at the designated time (step A6), confirm the payment of the experimental agency processing fee (step A7), and if the payment has been completed, request the broadcasting station for distribution. Do (Step A
8).

On the other hand, if the relay is not possible, the relay is notified to the user that the relay is not possible (step A5), the user changes the designation of the relay time (step B6), and then returns to the step B6.
Step 5 and subsequent steps are repeated, and if the relay is still impossible (step B7), the processing is terminated. If the relay request has been accepted and the payment of the experiment proxy processing fee has been completed (step B8), wait until the specified relay time has elapsed.
At that time, the television receiver is turned on to view a desired experiment data image (steps B9 and B10).

According to this aspect (distribution), since the experiment data can be individually distributed using a medium such as a terrestrial wave or a satellite wave, the production and distribution costs of the medium can be reduced.

In the above description, the service for requesting the experimental equipment to perform the substitute processing of the experiment has been described. However, the service is not limited to this, as long as the service substitutes the processing that is difficult for the user to execute. For example, for a process involving a plurality of types of danger, a service that performs proxy processing may be used, or a system that performs proxy processing may be a system that performs remote processing by a robot.

According to the present invention, the registration information from the proxy processing side terminal is stored in the proxy side registration information storage means, and the processing contents that can be proxy processed in the processing equipment for performing the proxy processing are as described above. The processing content stored in the proxy processing content storage means is stored in association with the storage content of the registration information storage means, and the processing content stored in the proxy processing content storage means is distributed via the network by the distribution means. When a proxy processing request transmitted from the requesting terminal is detected, the requested processing content is associated with identification information for identifying the requesting terminal that has requested the processing content, and the request information storage means Is stored. When the processing content is executed, the processing result is stored in association with the processing content stored in the request information storage means, and the processing result is transmitted to the requesting terminal by the sending means. Will be sent. Therefore, it is possible to realize a useful service that mediates between a user who does not have appropriate facilities and a proxy processor having various facilities. Can be provided, and a proxy processing service system and a proxy processing method capable of reliably feeding back the proxy processing result to the user can be provided.
