Abstract:
1. A centralized information management device of a working machine comprising: working machines in addition to the working machine, thereby making up a plurality of working machines; a storing means for separately storing failure management information including at least information that indicates a method of handling a failure which is expected to occur, depending on each individual working machine which is under the management of the device; the storing means further for storing treatment information for each model of various models of the plurality of working machines which are under the management of the device; an information processing means for receiving information related to each individual working machine, which includes at least predetermined failure information that indicates failure occurrence, wirelessly transmitted from information transmitting/receiving means arranged in each individual working machine under the management of the device, to perform a predetermined processing on the information; the information processing means further for receiving information, which also includes failure-handling result information that indicates failure handling performed on an occurred failure for each model of the working machine, classifying the received failure information for each model, processing the received failure information statistically, determining a failure which is expected to occur for each model, associating the received failure information and the expected failure determination, and determining a method of handling the failure with respect to each failure; a failure management information revising means for performing an update processing or an additional processing of new information on the failure management information stored in the storing means, based on a processing result by the information processing means; the failure management information revising means further for performing an update processing of the treatment information for each model on the failure management information stored in the storing means; and a transmitting means for transmitting the failure management information or the revised failure management information in response to a request from the information transmitting/receiving means arranged in each individual working machine or from a portable terminal carried by an operator; the transmitting means further for transmitting the treatment information corresponding to the model of each individual working machine in the updated failure management information in response to the request from the information transmitting/receiving means arranged in each of the individual working machines or from the portable terminal carried by the operator.
