Abstract

See full text

An error input occurs in the meter indication value input of an LP gas meter. Whether the meter indication value input has an error input or not must be subjected to the determination by a responsible person. Since the meter indication value is used for delivery prediction for example, the business is enormously influenced by the error input. Thus, whether or not the meter indication value is a correct value is determined. When the inputted meter indication value is a correct value, then the meter indication value is stored in a predetermined data region as the latest meter indication value data. When the inputted meter indication value is a false value, the reentry of the meter indication value is prompted and the inputted meter indication value is cleared.
