摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To activate a net business by dividing and computing an enormous amount of operation data using grid computing techniques, and returning points to the providers of resources for computations.;SOLUTION: A main processing unit 1 divides an enormous amount of operation data received from users (customers) and sends the data to a surveillance device 2. A resource providing terminal 3 downloads a resource providing terminal application 30 from the surveillance device 2 and sends to the surveillance device 2 a health-check packet for reporting how its own resources are used. The surveillance device 2 selects a usable resource providing terminal 3 according to how the resource providing terminal 3 under its control is using resources, and sends operation data in an amount suited for the way the the resources are used. The results of data processing at each of the resource providing terminals 3 are fed via the surveillance device 2 to the main processing unit 1 and returned to the users after being bundled by the main processing unit.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
