Abstract

A management method is for managing, in real time, the status of a baby-sitter dispatched based on a request from a user. When occurrence of abnormality is received from the dispatched baby-sitter, another baby-sitter is searched who is in the neighborhood of the baby-sitter from whom the occurrence of abnormality has been received, and the another baby-sitter is instructed on necessary measures to be taken. A program for managing baby-sitters allows a computer to execute an abnormality receive step which includes receiving occurrence of abnormality from a baby-sitter, and an abnormality-dealing step which includes searching another baby-sitter in the neighborhood of the baby-sitter who sent the occurrence of abnormality, and instructing the another baby-sitter to take necessary measures.

an abnormality-dealing step which includes searching another baby-sitter in the neighborhood of said baby-sitter who sent the occurrence of abnormality, and instructing said another baby-sitter to take necessary measures.

7. The program according to claim 6, wherein

said abnormality receive step includes receiving abnormality information and location information from a baby-sitter, and recognizing the contents of the abnormality and the place where the abnormality has occurred, and wherein

said abnormality-dealing step includes searching another baby-sitter located nearest to the place where the abnormality has occurred, and sending to said another baby-sitter a dispatch request which contains the place where the abnormality has occurred and the contents of the abnormality, and further sending to a customer the
