  However, in such an operation method, each company or organization that issues IC cards purchases a new card issuing system in advance, and then raw cards, consumables (such as ink ribbons), etc. that match the quantity to be issued. Was purchased from a card service provider each time. At that time, there is a service for delivering cards and consumables to the customer, but there is an ordering operation between the card service provider and each company, organization, etc. each time.

  In addition, each company, organization, etc. that issues IC cards must purchase the card issuing system as a fixed asset, so it was necessary to create an operation plan that took into account the cost amortization of the card issuing system and the labor costs of the operator. . For this reason, even companies that want to introduce IC cards for customer service, etc., often forgo the introduction in terms of expenses.

As described above, in order to issue an IC card, it is necessary to make an initial investment such as purchasing an expensive card issuing system. As a business method for avoiding this initial investment and reducing the burden on the customer's company, A method of lending to a customer and charging for the number of copies used, such as a copy machine, is used. In addition, a copy machine installed in a convenience store or the like employs a system that charges in accordance with the type and number of copy services in conjunction with a coin rack (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
