User (1), ie, the first user
Whether the classification being transmitted and the transmitted classification match
Is determined. If they match, proceed to S18,
The matched information is stored in the user (N),
After the processing for transmitting to the user (1) is performed, the process proceeds to S19. one
On the other hand, if it is determined in S17 that they do not match, the processing in S18 is performed.
The process proceeds directly to S19 without performing any processing. In S19, it is determined whether or not N = K.
At this stage, N is “1” and K is the current
Since it is the total number of users, it is determined as NO and the process proceeds to S20.
N = N + 1, that is, a process of adding 1 to N was performed.
Go to S17 later. As a result, the value of N becomes “2” and S17
, The user (N), that is, the user (2) is registered in advance.
