Patent ID: 7895207

Claim:
A substrate processing system, comprising: a plurality of substrate processing apparatuses for processing substrates; a group administration apparatus for administering said substrate processing apparatuses; a plurality of operation terminals each for, when connected to said group administration apparatus, generating a data acquisition request format that sets forth retrieval conditions and types of display items classified in individual tables for said substrate processing apparatuses, and then transmitting it to said group administration apparatus; and a data accumulation area for accumulating data of said plurality of substrate processing apparatuses, wherein said group administration apparatus, at a time of data acquisition request from said plurality of operation terminals, and on a basis of the data acquisition request format acquired from said plurality of operation terminals, expands the data acquisition request format for said plurality of substrate processing apparatuses for each of the plurality of operation terminals, merges types in each display item to be retrieved with a same retrieval condition which is included in retrieval conditions set forth in the expanded data acquisition request formats, so as to generate a plurality of merge tables respectively corresponding to the plurality of substrate processing apparatuses, and searches the data accumulation area using the generated plurality of merge tables.
