An aggregation system includes: a load balancer for distributing accesses to a plurality of user proxy server devices, the accesses including operation information and ID numbers; a plurality of user proxy server devices, wherein the user proxy server devices include program device for identifying a user management server device where a user management server device number corresponds to a remainder M based on the remainder M obtained by dividing the ID number by a number N of the user management server devices, and for transferring the accesses to an identified user management server device; and a plurality of user administration server devices. The user administration server devices include computers sequentially assigned with the user management server device number, and program devices for functioning as a memory device and as a user management device for memorizing the operation information together with elapse time information.

Aggregation system

An aggregation system that can aggregate and order user operation information at high speed through a communications network. An ID number to the user is provided, and a proxy server forwards the operation information with the ID number from the user to a specific administration server based on the ID number. The administration server accesses at high speed the user information based on this m number. In addition the prescribed server uses a special passing sequence to collect and synthesize head-count data that corresponds to score information such as the elapsed time, etc. from the start of reception, and order information is stored in this passing sequence, and it is delivered to the administration server. Load balancers assign calls to optional proxy servers, the proxy server can relay the calls at high speed, and the administration server can reference the user information. In addition, expansion is easy since the processing is done by dispersal by means of a plurality of administration servers.

A security systemand an electronic device groupto be stored in a home networkare controlled by a home server. A home network management facilityobtains status information of the electronic device groupfrom home server. Home network management facilitydisplays the status of electronic device groupon a display unit of a terminalbased on the received status information. Home network management facilityalso displays a screen for prompting input of a control instruction of the home-located electronic devices that are included in the electronic device group. Based on control instruction received via home server, home network management facilityperforms remote control of electronic device group
