INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND RECORDING DEVICE
First Claim
1. An information processing system comprising:
- a plurality of recording apparatuses that record information on flows or stocks of a predetermined object, whose amount of flow or stock is likely to vary, in a plurality of equipment installed at a predetermined organization; and
a counting apparatus that calculates pieces of information recorded by the plurality of recording apparatuses,each of the plurality of recording apparatuses including;
a detector for detecting a change in an amount of the flow or stock of the object;
an item information storage for storing a debit side item and a credit side item by associating the debit side item with the credit side item, wherein the debit side item indicates an attribute serving as a debit side in a double-entry bookkeeping system, and the credit side item indicates an attribute serving as a credit side in the double-entry bookkeeping system and wherein the attribute serving as the debit side and the attribute serving as the credit side are each an attribute, concerning the object, whose value changes with a change in the amount of the flow or stock of the object;
a journalizing processor for recording journal information when the detector detects the change in the amount of the flow or stock of the object, wherein the journal information is such that said amount of change is associated respectively to the debit side item and the credit side item; and
a notification unit for conveying the journal information, recorded by the journalizing processor, to the counting apparatus,the counting apparatus including;
a counting processor for calculating pieces of journal information conveyed respectively from the plurality of recording apparatuses, based on the debit side item and the credit side item and for recording a calculated result; and
an output unit for outputting information on the calculated result recorded by the counting processor to an exterior.

Abstract
An energy event recording apparatus is mounted on each of a plurality of equipment installed at a business facility. When a change in the amount of the flow or stock of energy is detected in the apparatus mounted, each of a plurality of the energy event recording apparatuses records journal information, which associates the amount of change to a debit side item and a credit side item, respectively, and notifies an energy management server of the journal information. The energy management server calculates pieces of journal information conveyed from a plurality of recording apparatuses, respectively, based on the debit side item and the credit side item.
