PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To propose a simple and easy to see use state management method for gas capable of confirming use state of gas (used amount of gas, invoiced amount of gas, etc.) in a customer station and out of the customer station.SOLUTION: A monitoring device 5 and customer station devices 3 (gas meter reading device) installed in each gas consumption spot 2 have a communicating connection through an Internet circuit 6 and an end user using gas at the gas consumption point 2 is capable of confirming gas meter reading information and gas invoice amount, etc., by making access to the customer station device 3 or the monitoring device 5 using a portable communication terminal 14 from either in-house or out-of-house in a use state management system for gas 1. The invoiced amount is displayed in division display by a circular graph by items.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】宅内、宅外のいずれにおいてもガス使用状況（ガス使用量、ガス請求額等）を、簡単かつ見易い形態で確認可能なガス使用状況管理方法を提案すること。【解決手段】ガス使用状況管理システム１では、監視装置５と各ガス消費地２に設置した宅内装置３（ガス検針装置）がインターネット回線６を介して通信接続され、ガス消費地２でガスを使用するエンドユーザーは、携帯用通信端末１４を用いて、宅内および宅外のいずれにおいても、宅内装置３あるいは監視装置５にアクセスして、ガス検針情報、ガスの請求金額等を確認できる。請求金額は項目別の円グラフにより区分け表示される。【選択図】図１
