Abstract

An insurance descriptions adjusting system for properly setting an insurance premium. The system comprises an insurance descriptions adjusting method and device, a status data acquiring terminal device, an advice responding terminal device, and advice device, an insurance descriptions adjusting program, a status data acquiring program, an advice responding program, an advice program, and a computer-readable recording medium for recording those programs. Insurance descriptions determined based on a status data describing a state of an insured object are adjusted by using a level of enthusiasm shown by an insurance contractor towards the reacquisition of the status data and a level of enthusiasm shown by the insurance contractor in reducing the risk of an insured object. Accordingly, a proper insurance premium is set for an insured object whose future risks are likely to go lower.
