Computer System Having Terminal Information Reporting Function And Computer For Use In Said System
First Claim
1. A computer system having a terminal information reporting function, being formed by connecting at least one terminal and a monitoring server to the Internet, being adapted to transmit terminal information showing hardware requirements of the terminal from the individual terminal to the monitoring server, wherein the terminal contains a transmission program adapted to collect terminal information including a global IP address assigned to the terminal, so as to automatically transmit the terminal information to the monitoring server, the transmission program being contained to be activatable in a state invisible during a normal operation of an operating system, and wherein the monitoring server is adapted to sequentially record the terminal information transmitted from the terminal with no addition or with at least a date and time of initiating reception of the terminal information added to the terminal information.

Abstract
A computer system adapted to track the subsequent movement of a terminal or a data recording medium in the case that the terminal or the data recording medium is brought out without permission and simultaneously a terminal suitable for the computer system. A computer system has a terminal information reporting function, formed by connecting a plurality of terminals and a monitoring server to the Internet, adapted to transmit terminal information showing hardware requirements of the terminal from the individual terminal to the monitoring server, wherein the terminal contains a transmission program adapted to collect terminal information including a global IP address assigned to the terminal, so as to automatically transmit the terminal information to the monitoring server, the transmission program contained to be activatable in a state invisible during a normal operation of an operating system, and wherein the monitoring server is adapted to sequentially record the terminal information transmitted from the terminal with a date and time of initiating reception of the terminal information added to the terminal information.
