Abstract:
1. A remote data management system comprising a measuring device with which a managed person can perform a measurement of data and a data management device for managing measured data of each managed person that are obtained with the measuring device, wherein the measured data obtained with the measuring device are collected to and managed by the data management device via a communications network, the remote data management system further comprising: a communications device that communicates with the measuring device, having a measured data storage means for storing measured data obtained by the measuring device and a data transmission means for transmitting the measured data to the communications network, wherein, when communicating with the measuring device, the communications device receives measured data from the measuring device and stores the measured data in the measured data storage means, and when a transmission request for the measured data is received from the data management device, the communications device reads out the measured data stored in the measured data storage means and transmits the measured data to the data management device via the communications network using the data transmission means; and a control means for controlling the timing at which the data management device connects to the communications device of each managed person via the communications network and performs a transmission request for the measured data, wherein the data management device comprises a received data storage means for storing received measured data together with a time of reception for each managed person, and the control means determines the timing at which to carry out the transmission request to the communications device of each managed person based on a most recent time of reception of the measured data stored in the received data storage means for that managed person.
