In addition, resemble at Fig. 2 and as described in, adopting IC-card 6 to use the occasion of laundry facilities 1, can be stored in the identifying information (ID sign indicating number) of IC-card 6 by basis, specify member's mode, to be stored in the use integration addition of the member in the server 4, so needn't operate portable information terminal 7, this is easily.

Fig. 4 is used to illustrate the mode of operating by to portable information terminal 7, the flow chart of the motion flow of the server 4 of the occasion of acquisition use integration.

With reference to Fig. 4, server 4 is by time movement, and whether the supervision date changes (step S1), monitors whether to receive the signal (number of member's code and employed laundry facilities 1) (step S3) that acquisition uses integration to use from portable information terminal 7.In addition, in the occasion (, being "Yes") of judging that the date changes, then remove the access times (step S2) that are stored in each member in the access times storage part 42 at step S1.

In the occasion (at step S3, being "Yes") of the signal that uses integration to use from portable information terminal 7 reception acquisitions, server 4 carries out member's appointment (whether being member's authentication) (step S3) according to the member's code that is comprised in this signal.Then, in the member's who specifies access server 4 occasion (, being "Yes"), promptly at step S4, access server 4 be member's occasion, server 4 judges whether the access times that are stored in the access times storage part 42 surpass the set point number (step S5) of regulation.

Surpass the occasion of set point number (at step S5 in access times, be "Yes"), server 4 sends signal by the portable information terminal 7 to this member, carry out mistake circular (step S19), do not use the add operation of integration to handle, finish the Signal Processing that receives from portable information terminal 7.Usually, during 1 day, the number of times that uses laundry facilities 1 is for 1 time or repeatedly 1 people's member, be 1 day during from 1 member such occasion of access server 4 repeatedly, the possibility that devious conduct takes place is higher.In the present embodiment, the occasion that surpasses set point number in the access times of the server 4 of specified time limit of certain member (1 day during), owing to carry out the mistake circular, and use the add operation of integration to handle invalid (not carrying out this processing), so prevent this devious conduct effectively.

In the occasion of access times below set point number (at step S5, be "No") server 4 to be stored in access times in the access times storage part 42 add 1 computing after (step S6), number according to the laundry facilities 1 that has received, to sending signal with the corresponding laundry facilities 1 of this number, thus, carry out the affirmation (authentication) (step S7) whether the running of this laundry facilities 1 begins.The occasion that does not begin in the running of this laundry facilities 1 is (at step S7, be "No"), server 4 sends to portable information terminal 7 with the signal of this situation, thus, supervise the beginning (step S16) of the running of laundry facilities 1, through (, being "Yes") after the stipulated time, carry out the affirmation (authentication) (step S7) whether the running of this laundry facilities 1 begins once more at step S17.

In the occasion (at step S7, being "Yes") that the running of judging laundry facilities 1 begins, server 4 is confirmed the running time started (step S8) of this laundry facilities 1 according to the signal of expression from the running time started of the laundry facilities 1 of this laundry facilities 1 reception.In addition, passing through the occasion of predetermined reception binding hours (at step S9 from the running time started, be "Yes"), server 4 sends signal by the portable information terminal 7 to this member, carry out mistake circular (step S19), do not use the add operation of integration to handle, finish the Signal Processing that receives from portable information terminal 7.

Do not passing through the occasion (at step S9, being "No") that receives binding hours from the running time started, server 4 judges whether to use the add operation of integration to handle (step S10) by other member.Then, if not carrying out other member's the add operation of use integration handles (at step S10, be "No"), the server integration of the member's (with the corresponding member of member's code who has received) in server 4 reception carrying out being stored in the integration managing portion 41 then is with the processing (step S18) of the corresponding use integration of the data addition of the use amount of money that has received.

On the other hand, occasion (the step S10 carried out is handled in member's the add operation of use integration at other, be "Yes"), the member of server 4 in receiving portable information terminal 7 sends the signal (signal is selected in cancellation) (step S11) of the selection that the add operation of the use integration of supervising the member who whether cancels other handles.Selecting the operation of the portable information terminal 7 of signal by having received cancellation, confirm that occasion that other member's the add operation of use integration of cancellation handles is (at step S12, be "No"), the add operation of the use integration of the member during server 4 does not receive is handled, end process.

Selecting the operation of the portable information terminal 7 of signal by having received cancellation, determine that occasion that other member's the add operation of use integration of cancellation handles is (at step S12, be "Yes"), server 4 carries out the processing of deduction and the corresponding use integration of data of the use amount of money that has received in the server integration of these other the member from be stored in Integral Processing portion 41, thus, (step S13) handled in the add operation of the member's of other that cancellation has been carried out use integration, carry out with the server integration of the member in receiving with and the corresponding use integration of the data addition (step S14) of the use amount of money that received.Then, server 4 sends to other member's the portable information terminal 7 of having cancelled that the add operation of using integration handles with signal, has cancelled the notice (step S15) of the situation that the add operation of using integration handles.

In the present embodiment, since only from running time started of laundry facilities 1 with certain hour in (receiving in the binding hours) will use the integration addition from member's portable information terminal 7 to the occasion of the visit of server 4, so prevent after, another member uses the occasion of this laundry facilities 1, and member formerly will be at the use integration of this use and the devious conduct of the use integration addition of oneself.
