<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce any risk that an electric device whose check is required or the electric device whose lifetime is almost a terminal is used as it is by deciding the checking period or lifetime period of the electric device through a rational method, and notifying a product user of the result. <P>SOLUTION: The electric device 1 includes: an operating time measurement device 13 for measuring an operation time; a notification device 21 for notifying checking warning or lifetime warning; an arithmetic unit 11 for determining the degree of deterioration in an operation time from a cumulative operation time, and for, when the degree of deterioration in the operation time reaches a prescribed value, transmitting a trigger signal indicating that it becomes possible for the notification device 21 to notify the checking warning or lifetime warning; and a control device 10 for making the notification device 21 execute the notification of the checking warning or lifetime warning in response to a trigger signal. Also, the arithmetic unit 11 determines the degree of deterioration in a non-operation power supply time from a cumulative non-operation power supply time, and determines the degree of deterioration in a product age from a product age being a time since the completion of a product, and transmits the trigger signal. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
