  • a manager such as a management company sets a date and time when a prescribed maintenance work is required for periodic maintenance etc. as a maintenance date as a maintenance date, In advance, when the maintenance deadline comes, the main notification to notify of the maintenance due comes, and when the maintenance setting is canceled by the administrator, this notification will be suspended. Set to consume 1 unit. The advance notification and the notification are performed by display on the survey instrument TS, display on the web page 100, and transmission of an e-mail.
  • the remote control system 10 it is possible to add a maintenance management function combining the function of the surveying instrument TS, the function on the Web, and the function of the management server MS.
  • the notification is not stopped until the administrator cancels the maintenance setting, so that the user can accelerate the request of the administrator for the maintenance work.
  • various functions as illustrated can be added according to the needs of the user. Since the payment corresponding to the added function can be settled in the virtual currency, the user can use the function according to the purpose of each use at an amount corresponding to that. The manufacturer can make a profit according to the number of added functions, so the surveying instrument itself can be provided at a reasonable price.
  • the user does not need to perform complicated procedures for payment, since the simple and safe payment method using virtual currency is used.
  • the convenience of is improved.
  • various services can be provided not only to the so-called user of the surveying instrument but also to administrators such as a management company and an agent.
