Abstract

An assets management method and system for enabling low-cost, highly-flexible, highly-reliable, efficient and safe assets risk management and earnings management, for geographically distributed users or managed assets data. Assets risk management and earnings management are performed for geographically distributed users and managed assets data based on different methods and/or standards for the respective users or managed assets, by utilizing inter-network communication typified by the Internet connection where the band is limited and the reliability and safety are poor. Data transmitted between a risk and earnings management apparatus provided in a central position and geographically distributed user terminals is compressed, encrypted, and provided with authentication key for each user or managed assets. The result of output based on the different methods and/or standards for respective users or managed assets is sent from the risk and earnings management apparatus to the user terminal.

Claims

1. An assets management method comprising the steps of:

managing access of user resources by providing history authentication management means for managing histories for users or managed assets and performing authentication management, in a risk and earnings management apparatus which generates data on risk management and earnings management by using input assets data; and

enabling an large number of users to access said risk and earnings management apparatus via a network.

2. The assets management method according to claim 1, wherein said history authentication management means provides authorization to utilize the resources in the risk and earnings management apparatus based on user or managed assets.

3. The assets management method according to claim 1, wherein data transmitted between said user and said risk and earnings management apparatus via the network is encrypted in accordance with level of security desired.

4. An assets management system including a risk and earnings management apparatus which generates data on risk management and earnings management by calculating input assets data and a user terminal which accesses said risk and earnings management apparatus via a network, comprising:

history authentication management means, provided in said risk and earnings management apparatus, for managing histories for users or managed assets and performing authentication management, thereby managing access of user resources,

wherein an unlimited number of users are enabled to access said risk and earnings management apparatus via a network.

5. The assets management system according to claim 4, wherein said history authentication management means provides authorization to utilize the resources in the risk and earnings management apparatus based on user or managed assets.

6. The assets management system according to claim 4, wherein data transmitted between said user and said risk and earnings management apparatus via the network is encrypted in accordance with level of security desired.

7. A risk and earnings management apparatus comprising:

data management means for storing and searching for input/output data for respective users or managed assets;

calculation processing means for processing the input data and obtains output data;

history authentication management means for managing histories for the users or managed assets and performing authentication management; and

network connection management means for performing flow control, data encryption and data compression/decompression.

8. The risk and earnings management apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said history authentication management means provides authorization to utilize the resources in the risk and earnings management apparatus based on user or managed assets.

9. The risk and earnings management apparatus according to claim 7, wherein said network connection management means encrypts data transmitted between said user and said risk and earnings management apparatus via the network in accordance with level of security desired.

10. A computer-readable storage medium holding a control program for controlling a risk and earnings management apparatus which generates data on risk management and earnings management by calculating input assets data,

wherein said control program comprising:

a data management program for storing and searching for input/output data for respective users or managed assets;

a calculation processing program for processing the input data and obtains output data;

a history authentication management program for managing histories for the users or managed assets and performing authentication management; and

a network connection management program for performing flow control, data encryption and data compression/decompression.

11. The storage medium according to claim 10, wherein said history authentication management program includes a step of providing authorization to utilize the resources in the risk and earnings management apparatus based on user or managed assets.

12. The storage medium according to claim 10, wherein said network connection management program includes a step of encrypting data transmitted between said user and said risk and earnings management apparatus via the network in accordance with level of security desired.
