Most market entities around us are shifting to complex combination of products and services; particularly in advanced countries. In PSS (Product/Service-System) research; modular representation has not been studied in detail; although we could understand the basic concept of a PSS because of extensive literature. In this paper; we model and analyze eight well-known types of PSSs from three viewpoints: the state of receivers; functions; and attributes of entities. As a result; the following are described along with the corresponding models: characteristics of each type; transitions from typical product sales; and differences among types. This result will contribute to configuring modules of product-service combination toward a design of new PSS.
