Furthermore, the management server 30 acquires imaging data via the network from an imaging device 40 that photographs a person 101 such as a director or an auditor. The management server 30 generates a web page incorporating the imaging data and transmits it to the administrator terminal 10 and the shareholder terminal 20. Note that the imaging data may be acquired by the administrator terminal 10 from the imaging device 40 and transmitted to the management server 30. Further, the management server 30 may be connected to the imaging device 40 by a wired cable. In this case, the management server 30 directly acquires imaging data from the imaging device 40.

Next, data stored in the storage unit 32 of the management server 30 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7. The storage unit 32 stores shareholder data 320, attending shareholder data 326, first aggregate data 321, first approval rate data 322, second aggregate data 323, second approval rate data 324, and question data 325. . Note that the data structure described below is just an example, and may be further divided or aggregated, or may be recorded in other data structures. Further, data other than the data described below may be included.

FIG. 2 shows an example of shareholder data 320 and attending shareholder data 326. Shareholder data 320 is data regarding all shareholders, and attendance shareholder data 326 is data on shareholders who attended the general meeting of shareholders. In this embodiment, the shareholder data 320 and the attending shareholder data 326 have the same data structure, so a description of the attending shareholder data 326 will be omitted. Shareholder data 320 stores data regarding each shareholder. The shareholder data 320 includes shareholder ID, name, age, place of residence, and number of voting rights held. The shareholder ID is shareholder identification data, and is identification information assigned to a shareholder. The name, age, and place of residence are information indicating the name, age, and place of residence of the shareholder, and the age and place of residence are information obtained from shareholders through a questionnaire. The number of voting rights held indicates the number of voting rights according to the shares held by the shareholder. Further, the shareholder data 320 may include various information regarding other shareholder attributes such as the shareholder's date of birth, gender, and occupation. Furthermore, the attending shareholder data 326 may include only the shareholder ID. Attendance shareholder data 326 is associated with shareholder data 320 by shareholder ID.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the first aggregated data 321. The first aggregate data 321 is data that associates immediate resolutions that require voting by the shareholders in attendance during the general meeting of shareholders with the shareholder IDs of the shareholders in attendance who have expressed an intention to approve the proposal. It is. Immediate resolutions are proposals that are taken up during a general meeting of shareholders and require voting by the shareholders in attendance, and are different from ordinary proposals that are subject to the exercise of voting rights. For example, immediate resolutions include proposals submitted as motions by shareholders in attendance pursuant to Article 304 of the Companies Act, matters related to the delegation of the authority to decide whether to postpone or continue the general meeting of shareholders, matters related to the progress of the proceedings, and votes such as collective deliberations or individual deliberations. This is a method of doing this. The first aggregate data 321 is generated every time the administrator performs an immediate vote in the information processing system 1. The first aggregate data 321 includes the order of the proposals and the shareholder IDs of the shareholders who approved them. The order indicates the order in which votes were taken. In the present embodiment, the first aggregate data 321 is data regarding the attending shareholders who are in favor, but it may be data regarding the attending shareholders who are in opposition.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the first approval rate data 322. The first approval rate data 322 includes the order of the bill and the first approval rate. The order of the proposals included in the first approval rate data 322 is associated with the order of the proposals included in the first total data 321. The first approval rate indicates the approval rate of the shareholders in attendance, which is compiled based on the first aggregated data 321. The first approval rate is calculated using the number of voting rights of shareholders present who approved the proposal, without using the number of voting rights of shareholders who did not attend the general meeting of shareholders.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the second aggregated data 323. The second aggregate data 323 is data regarding the results of voting rights exercise. Each ordinary proposal is different from a resolution to be adopted immediately, and is a proposal determined in advance, and is written, for example, in a convocation notice sent to shareholders. The second aggregated data 323 includes identification information of the bill and shareholder IDs of shareholders who generally approved the bill.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the second approval rate data 324. The second approval rate data 324 includes the identification information of the bill, the total number of voting rights of approval votes, and the second approval rate. The second approval rate data 324 includes, as the total number of voting rights for approval, the total number of second approval voting rights N5 based on the approval/disapproval data of shareholders in attendance, and the total number of voting rights received in advance N4 based on the approval/disapproval data of shareholders accepted in advance. including. The second total number of voting rights in favor N5 is the total number of voting rights associated with the attending shareholders who expressed their intention to vote in favor. The total number of voting rights received in advance N4 is the total number of voting rights of shareholders who expressed their approval before the general meeting of shareholders was held. The second approval rate indicates the approval rate for regular proposals. In this embodiment, the total number of voting rights is the sum of the voting rights of all shareholders. Further, the total number of voting rights of shareholders who approved the proposal among the attending shareholders is referred to as the second total number of voting rights in favor N5. In addition, the total number of voting rights of shareholders who approved the proposal before the general meeting of shareholders is held is referred to as the total number of voting rights received in advance N4. Further, the ratio of the total number of second approval voting rights N5 and the total number of advanced voting rights N4 to the total number of voting rights is defined as the second approval rate.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the question data 325. The question data 325 includes shareholder ID, question details, and answers. The question content indicates the content of questions sent by shareholders beforehand or during the general meeting of shareholders. The answers indicate the content of answers from directors, corporate auditors, etc. to each question.

Next, the processing performed by the management server 30 will be explained. The management server 30 performs an output control process, a process of receiving approval/disapproval data, a first aggregation process, a first transmission process, a bill recording process, a history recording section, a specifying process, a second aggregation process, and an audio output process.

In the output control process, a general meeting screen, which is a web page including a screen of the currently held general meeting of shareholders, is output to the display 25 of the shareholder terminal 20. Alternatively, the management server 30 transmits data for displaying the screen, and the shareholder terminal 20 generates data for outputting the screen based on the data received from the management server 30 and outputs the screen to the display 25. It's okay. For example, the shareholder terminal 20 may perform image processing such as rendering based on data received by the shareholder terminal 20 from the management server 30 and output the screen to the display 25.

Further, in the output control process, a screen including a selection element for transmitting approval/disapproval data indicating an intention of approval is displayed. After a selection element is selected once, it becomes unselectable.
In the process of receiving approval/disapproval data, approval/disapproval data regarding the approval/disapproval of the shareholders in attendance and shareholder identification data of the shareholders in attendance are received from the shareholder terminal 20 regarding the immediate resolution proposal. Note that the shareholder terminal 20 may transmit the pros and cons data and the shareholder ID at the same time, or may transmit them at different timings.

In the first aggregation process, the shareholders in attendance who have expressed their intention to vote in favor of a resolution that is taken up during the shareholders' meeting and requires immediate voting by the shareholders in attendance are identified based on the pros and cons data received from the shareholder terminal 20. Then, the first approval rate is calculated using the number of voting rights of the identified shareholders in attendance.

Specifically, in the first aggregation process, attending shareholders are identified based on login history. In addition, the total number N1 of voting rights of attending shareholders is calculated using the number N of voting rights held by the attending shareholders, and the total number N1 of voting rights of attending shareholders is calculated using the number N of voting rights held by attending shareholders who expressed their approval. Calculate the total number of voting rights N2. Further, the ratio of the total number of first approval voting rights N2 to the total number of voting rights of attending shareholders N1 is defined as the first approval rate.

In the first transmission process, the total result including the first approval rate is transmitted to the administrator terminal 10 that manages the general meeting of shareholders.
In the bill recording process, when a bill for immediate adoption occurs, bill identification information is assigned to the bill for immediate adoption, and the approval/disapproval data and shareholder ID are stored in the storage unit 32 in association with the bill identification information.

In the history recording process, the login history of the shareholder terminal 20 used by the attending shareholder is recorded in the storage unit 32.
In the second aggregation process, a second approval rate is calculated, which is the percentage of shareholders who expressed their approval for a regular proposal for which voting rights are to be exercised.

Specifically, in the second aggregation process, the attending shareholders who expressed their intentions are identified based on the approval/disapproval data received from the shareholder terminal 20. Further, the total number N5 of second voting rights in favor is determined by summing the number N of voting rights held by the attending shareholders who expressed their intention to vote in favor.

Furthermore, in the second aggregation process, the approval/disapproval data received from shareholders before the shareholders' meeting is recorded in the storage unit 32 in advance. In addition, the total number of voting rights received in advance N4, which is the sum of the number N of voting rights held by shareholders who expressed their intention to vote in favor based on the approval/disapproval data of the advance registration, is specified, and the total number of second voting rights N5 and the total number of voting rights received in advance N4 are determined. , and the total number of voting rights N3 to calculate the second approval rate. Note that the total number of voting rights of attending shareholders N1 may be used instead of the total number of voting rights N3.

In the audio output control process, the shareholder terminal 20 is caused to output a sound effect corresponding to the value of the first approval rate.
(Immediate vote)
Next, referring to FIG. 8, the procedure for immediate voting will be described.

As shown in FIG. 8, the administrator terminal 10 transmits a request to start immediate voting (step S1). The management server 30 receives the request to start immediate voting and starts immediate voting (step S2). Specifically, the management server 30 transmits to the shareholder terminal 20 web data that displays selection elements for selecting approval for the immediate resolution proposal.

The shareholder terminal 20 transmits the pros and cons data to the management server 30 (step S3). The management server 30 stores the pros and cons data in the storage unit 32 as first total data 321 .
The management server 30 performs a first aggregation process using the first aggregation data 321 (step S4). In the first aggregation process, a first approval rate is calculated. Furthermore, the management server 30 transmits the total results including the first approval rate to the administrator terminal 10 (step S5). The administrator terminal 10 outputs the total results to the display 15 (step S6). The management server 30 repeatedly calculates the first approval rate (step S4), transmits the tally result (step S5), and outputs the tally result (step S6) until it receives a termination request from the administrator terminal 10.

The administrator visually checks the tally results displayed on the display 15. The administrator also performs an operation to end the immediate voting based on the tally result. For example, the administrator performs an operation to end immediate voting when the first approval rate reaches 80% or more. The administrator terminal 10 transmits a request to end immediate voting based on the administrator's operation (step S7). The management server 30 receives the termination request. Then, based on the termination request, the immediate voting is terminated.

(First aggregation process)
Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the first aggregation process (step S4) for calculating the first approval rate for the immediate adoption proposal will be described.

The management server 30 performs a process of identifying attending shareholders (step S4-1). Specifically, the management server 30 identifies shareholders attending the general meeting of shareholders based on the login history. For example, the management server 30 identifies, as attending shareholders, shareholders who have logged in to the web page at least once since the general meeting of shareholders started, based on the login history. Then, the attending shareholder data 326 is updated using the shareholder data 320 associated with the identified attending shareholder. Alternatively, the management server 30 may set the shareholder corresponding to the shareholder terminal 20 connected (logged in) to the management server 30 as the attending shareholder when immediate voting is started.

The management server 30 obtains the total number N1 of voting rights of the attending shareholders (step S4-2). Specifically, the management server 30 uses the attending shareholder data 326 to obtain the number N of voting rights held associated with the attending shareholder identified in step S4-1. Then, the number N of voting rights held by each attending shareholder is totaled to obtain the total number N1 of voting rights of attending shareholders.

Next, the management server 30 generates first aggregate data 321 (step S4-3). Specifically, the management server 30 identifies the attending shareholders who approved the target proposal, and sets it as the first aggregated data 321. Further, the management server 30 obtains the total number of first voting rights N2 (step S4-4). Specifically, the first total data 321 and the attending shareholder data 326 are used to obtain the number N of voting rights held that is associated with the attending shareholders who approve. Then, the number N of voting rights held is totaled, and the total number is set as the total number N2 of first voting rights.

The management server 30 calculates the first approval rate (step S4-5). Specifically, the management server 30 calculates the ratio of the total number of first voting rights N2 to the total number of voting rights of attending shareholders N1. As a result, the first approval rate is calculated, for example, as a percentage of "50%" or "80%".

After calculating the first approval rate, the management server 30 transmits the updated first approval rate to the shareholder terminal 20. The shareholder terminal 20 outputs the sound of applause from the speaker 26 at a volume and number of sounds corresponding to the first approval rate, based on data that associates the first approval rate with the volume of the applause sound. The number of tones is the degree of multiplicity of sounds, and as the number of tones increases, it sounds like a large number of people clapping. At this time, at least one of the volume and number of clap sounds may be gradually increased as the first approval rate increases. Further, the volume and the number of sounds may be determined according to the first approval rate when the first approval rate is finally determined.

(Exercise of voting rights)
Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the procedure for voting on regular proposals subject to the exercise of voting rights will be explained.

The management server 30 acquires the total number N1 of voting rights of attending shareholders (step S11). At this time, the total number N1 of voting rights of attending shareholders obtained in step S4-2 may be used.
The management server 30 uses the second approval rate data 324 to obtain the total number N4 of voting rights accepted in advance (step S12).

The management server 30 acquires the total number of second voting rights N5 at the general meeting of shareholders (step S13). Specifically, the management server 30 uses the second aggregated data 323 at the general meeting of shareholders to identify the attending shareholders who approved the proposal, and uses the attending shareholder data 326 to determine the number N of voting rights held by the attending shareholders who approved the proposal. get. Then, the total number of voting rights held N is set as the total number of second voting rights N5 at the general meeting of shareholders.

Next, the management server 30 calculates a second approval rate (step S14). Specifically, the management server 30 calculates the total number of pre-accepted voting rights N4 and the total number of second voting rights N5. Then, the ratio of the total number of voting rights of all shareholders to the total number of voting rights N3 is set as the second approval rate. In other words, the second approval rate is calculated based on the total number of advance voting rights N4 for which approval was expressed before the general meeting of shareholders, and the total number of second approval voting rights N5 for which approval was expressed at the general meeting of shareholders. calculate.

(Management screen)

The management server 30 updates the second total data 323 and the second approval rate data 324 using the received option data and shareholder ID.

According to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1-1) At a general meeting of shareholders, in addition to the regular agenda items set in advance, there are always proposals for immediate adoption that require confirmation of the approval or disapproval of the shareholders in attendance. Previously, both ordinary proposals and instant resolutions were voted on by the applause of shareholders attending a general meeting of shareholders held at a physical location. According to the above embodiment, the management server 30 can collect data for and against the shareholders in association with the shareholder ID, which is the identification data of the attending shareholders. It will be possible to participate in voting on both regular proposals and instant resolutions, and shareholders' meetings can be held legally only over the Internet.

(1-2) Every time a bill for immediate voting occurs, bill identification information is generated and the voting result is recorded, so accurate voting results can be recorded even if the bill is not a predetermined bill.
(1-3) Previously, the approval or disapproval of regular proposals and immediate resolutions was confirmed by visually observing the applause of the shareholders in attendance, so only two choices could be made: whether or not the requirements for approval were met. According to the above embodiment, by the management server 30 acquiring the shareholder IDs of the shareholders in attendance, it becomes possible to accurately calculate the approval rate based on the number of voting rights of the shareholders.

(1-4) Previously, the approval or disapproval of regular proposals and immediate resolutions was confirmed by visually observing the applause of the shareholders in attendance, so it was possible to make only two choices: whether or not the requirements for approval were met. In the embodiment described above, it is also possible to determine the number of present shareholders who approve of the agenda item among the present shareholders, so it is also possible to implement an immediate vote based on the number of present shareholders rather than the number of voting rights.

(1-5) On the general meeting screen 63, the attending shareholders cannot operate the applause button 63E multiple times to transmit multiple pieces of approval/disapproval data, but can make a selection only once. Therefore, the management server 30 can be prevented from receiving multiple pieces of data for and against the same shareholder terminal 20. Therefore, the load of aggregation processing is reduced.

(1-6) In the second aggregation process, the management server 30 can collect data for and against a proposal for exercising voting rights in association with the shareholder ID, so that it is possible to accurately vote on the proposal. . Further, since shareholder IDs can be used, voting can be performed accurately using the number N of voting rights held by the shareholders in attendance.

(1-7) In the second aggregation process, it is possible to vote on a bill by taking into account the data for and against the shareholders' meeting, so that the vote can be accurately taken.
(1-8) Since the answers to the questions are output to the display section of the shareholder terminal 20, it is possible to make the question-and-answer session lively and to suppress duplication of shareholder questions.

(1-9) In instant voting, the sound of applause is output at a volume corresponding to the value of the first approval rate, so shareholders can enjoy the feeling of being present at the general meeting of shareholders.
(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the information processing system and the like will be described. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that supplementary information can be output on the general meeting screen, and the other points are the same. Hereinafter, descriptions of parts similar to those in the first embodiment will be omitted.

When the shareholder selects and operates the supplementary information selection section 63L, the shareholder terminal 20 acquires from the management server 30 a web page expressing the beliefs expressed by the person in the video displayed on the video display section 63A. Then, the shareholder terminal 20 outputs a screen displaying the statement of beliefs to the display 25 as a screen different from the general meeting screen 63. Note that the general meeting screen 633 may include a statement of beliefs. Further, the web page that the shareholder terminal 20 acquires from the management server 30 may include a person's biography, self-introduction information, a message, the contents of a convocation notice, etc., in addition to the statement of beliefs. Further, the web page may include a URL that transitions to another web page.

The general meeting screen 634 shown in FIG. 22 includes a supplementary information selection section 63L that sends a request to display another supplementary information. When the shareholder selects and operates the supplementary information selection section 63L, the shareholder terminal 20 acquires a web page including the video associated with the supplementary information selection section 63L from the management server 30. Alternatively, the shareholder terminal 20 may obtain the web page from a server other than the management server 30. The web page obtained at this time includes a video screen introducing the company's products. Then, the shareholder terminal 20 outputs a screen including a moving image to the display 25 as a screen different from the general meeting screen 63 based on the obtained web page. Note that the general meeting screen 634 may include a video display section separately from the video display section 63A.

The second embodiment provides the following effects in addition to the effects described in (1-1) to (1-9) of the first embodiment.
(2-1) When the attending shareholder selects the supplementary information selection section 63L included in the general meeting screen 63, the management server 30 causes the shareholder terminal 20 to output supplementary information associated with the supplementary information selection section 63L. Furthermore, since the supplementary information is linked to the progress information of the general meeting of shareholders, the attending shareholders can view the supplementary information according to the progress at the appropriate timing.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the information processing system and the like will be described. The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that when the general meeting screen reaches a predetermined scene and the general meeting screen is in an inactive state, the attending shareholders are notified, and the other points are the same. Hereinafter, descriptions of parts similar to those in the first embodiment will be omitted.

The management server 30 records progress information of the general meeting of shareholders in the storage unit 32. Progress information includes schedule items such as opening of the meeting, explanation of progress, audit report, business report, question and answer session, voting on proposals, tabulation results, and closing of the meeting. When the administrator uses the administrator terminal 10 to advance an item included in the progress information to the next schedule item, the management server 30 transmits data for outputting various screens to the shareholder terminal 20.

Furthermore, the management server 30 can output the first general meeting screen and the second general meeting screen to the shareholder terminal 20 in response to the shareholder's operation on the shareholder terminal 20. The first general meeting screen is a screen that includes selection buttons that are selection elements for transmitting data for or against a bill that is subject to the exercise of voting rights or a bill that is subject to immediate voting. The second general meeting screen is a screen that does not include selection buttons and displays viewing information that can be viewed by shareholders. Furthermore, the management server 30 outputs a notification to the display 25 of the shareholder terminal 20 to prompt the transmission of approval/disapproval data when the selection button is selectable on the first general meeting screen and the first general meeting screen is not in an active state. .

FIG. 23 shows the second general meeting screen 65. In this embodiment, the general meeting screen 63 shown in FIGS. 18 to 20 is referred to as the first general meeting screen 63 for convenience of explanation. The second general meeting screen 65 shown in FIG. 23 is a screen that does not include a live video of the general meeting of shareholders. For example, the second general meeting screen 65 is a screen that introduces products and services provided by a company. The shareholder terminal 20 outputs a first general meeting screen 63 and a second general meeting screen 65 to the display 25. The first general meeting screen 63 is in an unfocused state, that is, an inactive state, and the second general meeting screen 65 is in a focused state, that is, an active state.

If the progress status satisfies a predetermined condition while the first general meeting screen 63 is in an inactive state, the shareholder terminal 20 displays a notification 66 on the display 25 to indicate an intention of approval or disapproval. The predetermined condition is, for example, that the schedule item is subject to an immediate vote or a vote to exercise voting rights. The notification 66 includes, for example, an explanation that voting on a bill subject to voting rights will begin. Further, the notification 66 may include a link destination for opening the first general meeting screen 63. Therefore, even when shareholders are viewing the second general meeting screen 65, they can see from the notification 66 that an important scene such as a vote has been reached, so that they can be prevented from overlooking an important scene. It should be noted that the predetermined condition regarding the progress status may be not only reaching a scene where a vote is taken but also reaching a scene where a highly important explanation is given.

The third embodiment provides the following effects in addition to the effects described in (1-1) to (1-9) of the first embodiment.
(3-1) Since the management server 30 outputs the notification 66 to the shareholder terminal 20 in highly important situations such as selecting approval or disapproval, it is possible to prevent shareholders from overlooking important situations such as selecting approval or disapproval. I can do it.

Each of the above embodiments can be modified and implemented as follows. The above embodiments and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
(First aggregation process)
- In each of the above embodiments, the administrator visually checked the first approval rate displayed on the administrator terminal 10, and ended the first aggregation process when it reached a predetermined rate such as "80%". . Alternatively, the administrator may end the first aggregation process when a percentage other than "80%" such as "100%" is reached. Alternatively, the management server 30 may automatically end the calculation of the first approval rate when the first approval rate reaches a predetermined percentage. According to this aspect, the administrator does not have to perform an operation to finish calculating the first approval rate, so that the administrator's effort can be reduced.

Furthermore, when the first approval rate reaches a predetermined rate, the management server 30 may notify the administrator terminal 10 that the first approval rate has reached a predetermined rate. According to this, since the administrator does not need to keep monitoring changes in the first approval rate, the administrator's effort can be reduced.

Furthermore, when the first approval rate reaches a predetermined rate, the management server 30 may notify the shareholder terminal 20 that the first approval rate has reached a predetermined rate. According to this aspect, it is possible to notify the attending shareholders that the first approval rate has reached a predetermined percentage. This makes it easier for shareholders to understand the progress.

(1st approval rate)
- In each of the above embodiments, the first approval rate was calculated using the number N of voting rights held by the attending shareholders who approved. Alternatively, the management server 30 may specify the number of people in favor, which is the number of shareholders in attendance who expressed their intention to approve, and the ratio of the number of people in favor to the number of shareholders in attendance may be set as the first approval rate.

- In each of the embodiments described above, the management server 30 transmits to the shareholder terminal 20 web data that displays selection elements for selecting approval for an immediate resolution. Alternatively, the management server 30 may transmit to the shareholder terminal 20 web data that displays selection elements for selecting opposition to the immediate resolution.

(Second aggregation process)
・Shareholders may attend the general meeting of shareholders and participate in voting on proposals after exercising their voting rights by, for example, submitting a voting form prior to the general meeting of shareholders. In this case, the management server 30 may update the second summary data 323 by assuming that the approval or disapproval at the general meeting of shareholders indicates the intention of the shareholders. Specifically, the management server 30 records in the storage unit 32 the pros and cons data received from the terminals used by shareholders before the shareholder meeting is held. Furthermore, when approval/disapproval data is received from shareholders who attended the shareholders' meeting, the approval/disapproval data recorded in the storage unit 32 is updated based on the received approval/disapproval data. Alternatively, if a shareholder exercises his or her voting rights before the general meeting of shareholders is held, and then attends the general meeting of shareholders and participates in voting on proposals, only the former exercise of voting rights may be reflected in the vote.

(applause)
In each of the above embodiments, the sound of applause is changed depending on the level of the first approval rate. Alternatively, the shareholder terminal 20 may output the sound effect of applause at the same timing as when transmitting the approval/disapproval data, that is, at approximately the same timing as when the shareholder presses the applause button 63E.

(Delegation of shareholders)
-Shareholders may delegate the exercise of their voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders to a proxy. Specifically, the shareholder terminal 20 displays a screen for delegating voting rights on the display 25. Further, the shareholder terminal 20 transmits a delegation request to delegate the shareholder's voting rights to a proxy based on the shareholder's operation. The management server 30 receives a delegation request from the shareholder terminal 20. Furthermore, the management server 30 generates identification information of the agent based on the delegation request, and transmits the generated identification information to the shareholder terminal 20 or the destination of the agent registered in advance. The agent logs into the management server 30 using the received identification information.

(Hardware configuration)
