A simple technology in principle is proposed on the basis of its safety, reliability and flexibility, reflecting past technical achievements for the well-being in ageing society. Hereby, the active use of the Internet environment is described for the wide provision of convenience and help of daily life on public benefits. We propose some methods concerning system management and software provision to start up the computer from a distance, which can help better use of these networks. We present technical viewpoints from our studies with comprehensive engineering issues related to development and practical utilization of basic functions required by the Internet. From the progress in information and communication technology, appropriate systems were systematically developed for the help of daily life, amusement, guidance, health care, rehabilitation, nursing and medicare. They enabled the beneficiaries not only to ask neighbors in emergency and to have daily necessities, but also to cover effective activity and communications in remote islands and/or depopulated area where sufficient resource of medical staff might not be provided. In order to bilaterally communicate with beneficiaries, an extended functions of the proposed basic system are utilized for all the various systems, which we propose as the concrete methods and apparatus to communicate their concerning data. In the present study, important methods for the help of everyday life and rescue of a lonely living person with sudden illness threatened to life are realized by the combination of the additional button type computer with the proposed communication techniques without any complicated manipulation under the Internet environment.
