Fault monitoring method for commodity management radio communicating apparatus, storage medium for storing fault monitoring program for commodity management radio apparatus and fault monitoring program

A fault monitoring method of a plurality of portable radio communication terminals used in a commodity management system, each of which manages commodities by communicating with an inventory controller via a radio communication base station, said fault monitoring method comprising:

• a step of automatically executing a test of a radio communication section in an arbitrary portable radio communication terminal when a number of retrying times of radio communication between the arbitrary portable radio communication terminal and said radio communication base station exceeds a predetermined number of times;
• and
• a step of displaying a fault of said radio communication section on a display section of the arbitrary portable radio communication terminal when said fault occurs,
• wherein a call time interval of retrying said radio communication between the arbitrary portable radio communication terminal and said radio communication base station is set longer than an average communication time of said radio communication between each of said portable radio communication terminals and said radio communication base station in said commodity management system.

• a step of automatically executing a test of a radio communication section in an arbitrary portable radio communication terminal when a number of retrying times of radio communication between the arbitrary portable radio communication terminals and said radio communication base station exceeds a predetermined number of times;
• and
• a step of displaying a fault of said radio communication section on a display section of the arbitrary portable radio communication terminal when said fault occurs,
• wherein said test for said radio communication section is executed after checking that said radio communication between each of said portable radio communication terminals other than the arbitrary portable radio communication terminal and said radio communication base station is vacant continuously in a case out of an execution prohibiting time zone in said commodity management system.

A storage medium storing a fault monitoring program to cause a computer to carry out a fault monitoring method of a plurality of portable radio communication terminals in a commodity management system, each of which manages commodities by communicating with an inventory controller via a radio communication base station, said fault monitoring method comprising:
