a setting procedure of setting a section partitioned between the integrity reference value and the defect reference value to a first section, a second section, . . . , and an n-th section sequentially from the integrity reference value and at the same time establishing a first integrity index reference table by setting the integrity index value for each section; and

a detecting procedure of applying the time value consumed for one operation measured and collected in the device in real time to the first integrity index reference table to detect a section corresponding to the measured time value and extract the integrity index value of the detected section.
