1. An apparatus comprising:
- a detection unit acquiring chemical substance-related information relating to chemical substances included in a fluid at a sampling point using a first type of sensor;
a local memory storing a library including a specifying pattern generated when a specified chemical substance was detected by the first type of sensor; and
a matching unit that routinely compares chemical substance-related information obtained by the detection unit and a specifying pattern for monitoring purposes included in the library and outputs match information when the obtained chemical substance-related information and the specifying pattern for monitoring purposes match.

Abstract
An olfactory system (300) capable of detecting a threat includes: a detection unit (100) including an IMS sensor (110) that outputs IMS data (115) relating to chemical substances included in fluid at a sampling point; a local memory (41) storing a library (49) including a specifying pattern (48) generated when a specified chemical substance was detected by the IMS sensor (110); and a matching unit (42) that routinely compares and matches the IMS data (115) and the specifying pattern (48) for monitoring purposes included in the library (49).

15. A program executed by an apparatus including a detection unit detecting chemical substance-related information relating to chemical substances included in a fluid at a sampling point using a first type of sensor, a CPU, and a memory,
wherein a library including a specifying pattern generated when a specified chemical substance was detected by the first type of sensor is stored in the memory, the program comprising instructions for: -
routinely comparing chemical substance-related information obtained by the detection unit and a specifying pattern for monitoring purposes included in the library; and outputting match information when the obtained chemical substance-related information and the specifying pattern for monitoring purposes match.
