Abstract:
1. A interactive demonstration method for a measuring instrument using a network, comprising the steps of: identifying a user obtaining access to a measuring instrument information providing server from a user terminal of the user on the basis of a customer database incorporated in the measuring instrument information providing server and specifying a predetermined measuring instrument with respect to which the user makes the request for operation; in response to a request for providing demonstration information on a predetermined measuring instrument from a user terminal and a request for making operation, delivering to the user terminal via a network an operational program that contains demonstration information for measuring properties of a desired electronic device including at least one of electronic equipment and electronic parts thereby switch-connecting the desired object to be measured to the predetermined measuring instrument; causing the user terminal to deliver to a predetermined measuring instrument terminal via the network an operational command that contains measurement items and measuring conditions of the user's interest which are operated and inputted at the user terminal, in addition to the demonstration information in order to measure the properties of the desired object to be measured, thereby switch-connecting the desired object to be measured to the predetermined measuring instrument based on the delivered operational program; causing the measuring instrument terminal to control the predetermined measuring instrument connected to the measuring instrument terminal in response to the operational command that contains demonstration information including measurement items and measuring conditions of the user's interest which is output from the user terminal in order to measure the properties of the desired object to be measured, thereby switch-connecting the desired object to be measured to the predetermined measuring instrument, and to deliver a measurement result obtained by the measuring instrument to the user terminal via the network; and causing the user terminal to output the measurement result delivered from the measuring instrument terminal via the network.
