The server analysis unit 42 of the analysis server 5 analyzes new operation data and determines whether or not it is normal (STEP 8).

In STEP8, in the server analysis unit 42, the hot water filling start time (9:50) of the new operation data (NO.1) in FIG. 2 is the operation data (NO.2 to NO.2) for the past one year in FIG. If it is within the normal range for the server (9:28 to 11:28) between about 60 minutes of the average time (for example, 10:28) for the past year including .8, new operation data Is determined to be normal.

On the other hand, the server analysis unit 42 determines that the new operation data is abnormal when the hot water start time of the new operation data is outside the normal range for the server (9:28 to 11:28). .. For example, when the hot water filling start time of the new operation data is 8:30 or 12:20, it is determined that the new operation data is abnormal.

When the server analysis unit 42 of the analysis server 5 determines that the new operation data is normal (“YES” in STEP 9), the process ends.

On the other hand, when the server analysis unit 42 of the analysis server 5 determines that the new operation data is abnormal (“NO” in STEP 9), the analysis server 5 has an abnormal new operation data and has dementia. An abnormal behavior signal indicating that there is a possibility of the occurrence of abnormal behavioral symptoms such as the above is transmitted to the monitor's communication device 37 via the external network NW (STEP10).

Further, in STEP 10, the communication device 37 is a comment indicating that the operation is abnormal and the abnormal behavior symptom may occur in response to the received behavior abnormality signal (for example, "abnormal operation, abnormal behavior". "There is a possibility of symptom onset") is displayed on the display unit 37a, and a voice indicating that the operation is abnormal and there is a possibility of abnormal behavior symptom (for example, "abnormal operation, abnormal") is displayed. There is a possibility that behavioral symptoms may occur. ") Is output from the speaker 37b. This allows the observer to know that the operation is abnormal and that abnormal behavioral symptoms may occur.

Although it is said that STEP3 to STEP6 do not have to be performed, after executing STEP10 in that case, it is possible to notify that the operation by the bathroom remote controller 12 is abnormal as in STEP6.

In this way, since the abnormal behavior symptom can be monitored based on the operation data of the bathroom remote controller 12, the abnormal behavior symptom is not installed and the target person is not forced to perform the determined behavior. Can be monitored.

Further, since the server DB 43 has a larger storage capacity than the heat source machine DB 18, it can store a large amount of data. Further, the server analysis unit 42 has a higher processing capacity than the heat source machine analysis unit 17. As a result, the analysis server 5 can perform an advanced search as compared with the heat source machine 11, and can accurately determine the abnormality.
