  When the deposit button 33 is operated, the bill depositing section 123 as a substitute item input section counts the bills inserted from the bill insertion slot 35 and outputs the count data to the deposit / settlement machine control section 121, The inserted bills are accommodated and stored inside the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31. When the settlement button 34 is operated and the remote control 3 is attached to the remote control insertion slot 32, the residual money dispensing unit 124 as the substitute product output unit receives money from electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 82 of the remote control 3. The amount corresponding to the remaining amount calculated by the settlement machine control unit 121 is displayed on the payment amount display 41. A plurality of types of money which can be discharged by the balance payment unit 175 are provided inside the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31. Coins are stored and stored in advance. The remaining amount dispensing unit 124 may be configured to be capable of discharging not only coins but also banknotes.

  The time counting unit 127 counts time and outputs it to the deposit / settlement machine control unit 121. The time data from the time counting unit 127 is calculated from the date and time when the bill is exchanged for electronic money by calculation and the electronic money It is used to determine the date and time of cash exchange. When the remote control 3 is attached to the remote control insertion slot 32, the remote control connection section 128 is electrically connected to the external device connection section 80 of the remote control 3. The printer connection unit 129 electrically connects the deposit / settlement machine control unit 121 to a printer (not shown), and through the printer connection unit 129, the payment amount and the settlement amount are taken out from the roll paper by the printer. It is possible to print out on the received receipt.

  The whole history information storage unit 130 is the history information of the remote control 3 every time the decision button 35 is operated after the deposit button 33 and the settlement button 34 are operated in a state where the remote control 3 is attached to the remote control insertion opening 32. The history information stored in the storage unit 82 is accumulated and stored, and the history information includes the aforementioned device history information and remote control history information. Therefore, the history information from all the remote controls 3 installed in each bed is accumulated in the entire history information storage unit 130.

  In addition, in the storage unit of the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31, a program for causing the deposit / settlement control unit 121 by a computer to function as the electronic money control processing unit 133 and the history information control processing unit 134 is stored. The electronic money control processing unit 133 has a function of calculating electronic money according to the amount of the bill inserted into the bill inlet 36 based on the count data from the bill depositing unit 123. The calculated electronic money is displayed on the payment amount display 40. The history information control processing unit 134 stores all history information stored in the history information storage unit 82 of the remote control 3 when the settlement button 34 is operated in a state where the remote control 3 is attached to the remote control insertion opening 32. It has a function of transferring to the unit 130.

  Next, the operation of the configuration of the information system 1 will be described in detail with reference to the explanatory views of FIG. 7 and FIG.

  First, an operation procedure of the remote control lending machine 2 used at the time of hospitalization of a patient will be described. A plurality of initialized remote controls 3 are stored in the remote control lending machine 2. Each of these remote controls 3 is individually assigned an individual ID number as a remote control identifier in advance, and a patient information storage unit 84 Information is not stored either. In addition, individual ID numbers are assigned to all the charging devices 13 in advance as charging device identifiers. The remote controller identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 83 of the remote controller 3 and the charging device identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 98 of the charging device 13 can not be easily rewritten.

  Here, when the patient inserts the medical examination ticket 5 carried by the patient into the medical examination ticket insertion slot 6, the patient information control processing unit 112 of the remote control lending machine 2 reads the patient information of the patient from the magnetic stripe 9 and initializes it. Patient information is input and stored in the patient information storage unit 84 of the selected one remote control 3 among the plurality of remote controls 3 selected. Thereafter, the remote control 3 in which the patient information is written is discharged from the remote control lending port 7 as a portable remote control used by the patient who will be hospitalized from now on, and the medical examination ticket 5 is also discharged from the medical examination ticket insertion port 6.

  Next, to explain the operation procedure at the time of deposit, as shown in step S0 of FIG. 10, the remote control 3 having the ID number of "001" as a remote control identifier is ejected from the remote control lending machine 2 and received by the patient. I suppose. The remote control 3 received here is initialized except for the patient information storage unit 84, and the history information stored in the history information storage unit 82 and the value of the charging device identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 83 are cleared. The value of electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 81 is zero. Note that these may be other values that can recognize that the remote control 3 is in the initial state.

  Thereafter, the patient causes the remote controller deposit / settlement machine 31 to deposit and store necessary electronic money on the remote controller 3 and transfer the electronic money to the sickbed billing device 13. Specifically, the remote control 3 is inserted into the remote control insertion slot 32 of the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31, and the deposit / settlement machine control unit 121 recognizes that the remote control 3 is attached to the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31. When a 1000-yen bill is inserted as a bill into the bill inlet 36, counting data according to the inserted number is output from the bill input unit 123 to the deposit / settlement machine control unit 121, and the bill input amount is displayed on the deposit amount display 40 Is displayed. Further, the electronic money control processing unit 133 performs calculation to convert the inserted money into electronic money based on the count data from the bill input unit 123, and displays the amount of the electronic money on the remote control money amount display unit 39. When the calculated electronic money is sent from the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 to the remote control 3, the electronic money control processing unit 85 of the remote control 3 receives the amount of electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 and the remote control deposit / The amount of electronic money from the checkout machine 31 is added, and the result is stored (charged) in the electronic money storage unit 96 as a new amount of electronic money.

  As an example, when the remote controller 3 in the initial state as shown in step S0 is inserted into the remote control insertion slot 32 of the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 and five thousand-yen bills are inserted into the bill inlet 36, as shown in the next step S1. In the electronic money storage unit 81 of the remote controller 3, electronic money for 5,000 yen is charged as it is. Also, even when the amount of electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 81 is other than 0, a new amount obtained by adding that amount and the amount of electronic money from the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 is the electronic money storage unit. Charged to 81. The maximum deposit amount to the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 at this time can be arbitrarily set by the bill input unit 123, and the remote controller 3 can not be charged with more than necessary electronic money.

  Thereafter, when the remote controller 3 charged with the electronic money is directed to the charging apparatus 13 of the hospital bed and the remittance key 66 is depressed, both the remote control 3 establishing communication and the charging apparatus 13 perform authentication by the identifier. The identifier control processing unit 87 of the remote controller 3 reads the value of the charging device identifier from the identifier storage unit 88 of the charging device 13 in the initial state in which the value of the charging device identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 83 is cleared. The value is overwritten and updated in the identifier storage unit 83 and stored. Similarly, the identifier control processing unit 104 of the charging apparatus 13 reads the value of the remote control identifier from the identifier storage unit 83 of the remote controller 3 in the initial state in which the value of the remote control identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 98 is cleared. The value is overwritten and updated in the identifier storage unit 98 and stored. Thereafter, the remote control control unit 75 permits the exchange of data with only the identified charging device 13 until the value of the charging device identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 83 is cleared, and the charging device 13 other than that is permitted. Prohibit the exchange of data between Further, the charging device control unit 91 also permits exchange of data with only the identified specific remote control 3 until the value of the remote control identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 98 is cleared, and between the other remote controls 3. Prohibit the exchange of data.

  Next, the patient information control processing unit 105 of the charging apparatus 13 is unique to the patient who uses the remote control 3 from the patient information storage unit 84 of the remote control 3 in an initial state where patient information is not stored in the patient information storage unit 99. The patient information is read, and this is overwritten and stored in the patient information storage unit 99. At this time, the patient information control processing unit 105 includes the charging device identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 83, the patient information stored in the patient information storage unit 99, and the remote control identifier preferably stored in the identifier storage unit 83. And sends out new authentication information to the center apparatus 45 through the wireless transmission / reception unit 100. In response to this, the center device 45 checks whether patient information included in the new authentication information sent is present in the plurality of patient information already registered and stored in the center device 45, Data (association data) in which the patient information whose existence has been confirmed, and the charging device identifier and remote control identifier included in the new authentication information are associated is stored. After this, the center apparatus 45 can correctly grasp from the association data which charging apparatus 13 and remote control 3 the patient currently in the hospital bed uses.

  Thus, when authentication is performed between the remote control 3 and the charging apparatus 13 and subsequently the patient information stored in the remote control 3 is collated on the side of the center apparatus 45, the electronic money storage unit 81 of the remote control 3 is charged. Electronic money is transferred to the charging device 2. In response to this, the electronic money control processing unit 102 of the charging apparatus 13 adds the amount of electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 and the amount of electronic money from the remote control 3, and adds the result to the new electronic money Are stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 as the amount of money. Further, the electronic money control processing unit 85 of the remote controller 3 subtracts this added amount from the electronic money charged in the electronic money storage unit 81 so far, and stores the result in the electronic money storage unit 81 as new electronic money. Hold it.

  As an example, in step S1, electronic money of 5,000 yen is charged to the remote controller 3 in the initial state in which the value of the identification device identifier is cleared. When the remote control 3 is directed to the charging apparatus 13 in the initial state in which the value of the remote control identifier is cleared, and the remittance key 66 is pressed to shift electronic money, the remote control 3 and the charging apparatus 13 are operated in step S1 ′. While both sides check the identifier and the ID number "101" read from the charging device 2 is stored in the identifier storage unit 83 of the remote control 3 as the charging device identifier unique to the charging device 2, As a unique remote control identifier, the ID number "001" read from the remote control 3 is stored in the identifier storage unit 98 of the charging apparatus 13.

  In the initial state, the amount of electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 of the charging apparatus 13 is 0, so the electronic money control processing unit 102 of the charging apparatus 13 uses the amount of electronic money charged in the remote control 3. A certain 5,000 yen is added as it is as the amount of new electronic money, and stored in the electronic money storage unit 96. At the same time, the amount of electronic money charged to the remote control 3 is reduced to 0 yen.

  Thus, when the necessary amount of electronic money is stored and held in the electronic money storage unit 96 of the charging apparatus 13, the device control processing unit 101 of the charging apparatus 13 sends an operation permission signal to the television operation control unit 22 of the television 12. , The television 12 can be used until the amount of the electronic money becomes zero. As a result, when the power key 51 of the remote control 3 is pressed toward the television 7 in the off state, the television 12 is immediately activated by the operation permission signal from the device control processing unit 101, and the television broadcast can be viewed. Further, the electronic money control processing unit 102 of the charging apparatus 13 receives the detection signal from the television operation detection unit 21, calculates the operating time during which the television 12 operates, and stores it in the electronic money storage unit 96 according to the operating time. The value of electronic money to be The value of this new electronic money is overwritten and updated in the electronic money storage unit 96 each time, and is constantly displayed on the balance display 26. When the value of the electronic money becomes 0, an operation prohibition signal is sent from the device control processing unit 101 to the television operation control unit 21, and the television 12 becomes inoperable no matter how the remote control 3 or the television 12 is operated.

  Use of the refrigerator 14 uses the refrigerator reservation key 67 of the remote control 3 and the refrigerator reservation return key 68. The electronic money control processing unit 102 of the charging apparatus 13 electronically converts the amount corresponding to the usage fee (for example, 200 yen) for a predetermined period (for example, one day) of the refrigerator 14 every time the refrigerator reservation key 67 is pressed. The electronic money charged in the money storage unit 96 is subtracted and updated and stored. As a result, the usage charge proportional to the number of times the refrigerator reservation key 67 is pressed is deducted first, and power can be supplied to the refrigerator 14 during a predetermined period according to the usage charge. On the other hand, when the refrigerator reservation return key 68 is pressed, the remaining charge is returned to the electronic money and updated and stored in the electronic money storage unit 96. The period during which the refrigerator 14 can be used is always displayed on the day indicator 25 of the charging device 14, and the device control processing unit 101 sends out an operation permission signal that enables the use of the refrigerator 14 until the usage fee becomes zero. When the usage charge reaches 0, an operation prohibition signal for prohibiting the use of the refrigerator 14 is sent out. In addition, although the refrigerator 14 here is a reservation charge which deducts a use charge first, it is good also as a pay-as-you-go charge which determines a use charge according to actual operation time like the television 12. Conversely, the television 7 may be charged for reservation.

  Every time the electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 is updated and stored along with the use of the charging target device, the electronic money control processing unit 102 of the charging device 13 updates the updated electronic money and the charging device 13. The charging device identifier to be specified is sent out as user charging information to the center device 45 through the wireless transmission / reception unit 100. Since the electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 of each charging device 13 corresponds to the current unpaid balance from the amount charged by the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 by the patient, this together with the charging device identifier If it is sent to the center unit 45 each time, the center unit 45 side correlates the patient information included in the new authentication information and the charging unit identifier to determine how much the unpaid balance is currently for each patient for all patients. You can count whether there is a certain thing quickly.

  If the electronic money balance of the charging apparatus 13 is insufficient, the remote controller 3 is refilled with electronic money using the remote controller deposit / setter 31 again. For example, as shown in step S2, when the remote controller 3 charges electronic money of 3000 yen to the remote controller 3 by the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31, and this remote controller 3 is directed to the charging apparatus 13 of the bed, pressing the remittance key 56 operates. Data transfer of electronic money can be performed between the remote control 3 and the charging device 13 that have been authenticated in S1 and S1 ′. In this case, if electronic money of 1000 yen remains in the charging device 13 as an example, the amount of electronic money stored and held in the electronic money storage unit 86 of the charging device 13 is 4000 yen as in step S2 '. On the other hand, the amount of electronic money charged to the remote control 3 is reduced by 3000 yen to 0 yen.

  On the other hand, as in step S3, the billing apparatus 13 after another remote control 3 having an ID number of, for example, "004" as a remote control identifier is authenticated with the remote control 3 having an ID number of "001". Even when the remittance key 66 is pressed, no data exchange is performed between the remote controller 3 and the charging apparatus 13 unless the remote control identifier and the charging apparatus identifier both match. Also, as in step S4, the remote control 3 after authentication is performed with the charging apparatus 13 having the ID number of "101" is a charging apparatus having the ID number of "102" installed on another bed. Even when the remittance key 66 is pressed toward 13, the remote control identifier and the charging device identifier both stored in both the remote control 3 and the charging device 13 do not match, and data exchange is not performed between them. . Therefore, in these cases, it is impossible to transfer electronic money between the remote control 3 and the charging apparatus 13.

  In this embodiment, apart from pay viewing of the television 12 by electronic money, as notification information from the center apparatus 45, in addition to settlement request and turn-off time guidance transmitted at a determined time, irregular emergency The simultaneous notification and the necessary information for notifying the time and contents of the examination for each patient can be viewed free from the television 12 using the wireless means 49. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, as the necessary items for the patient, "Yamada Hanako-sama" who gives the patient's name, and "There is an inspection of the stomach camera from 3:00 pm today" which tells the examination time and contents. The characters are displayed on.

  In order to notify such necessary matters, the center device 45 selects patient information whose patient name is "Yamada Hanako" among all the patient information stored in the device main body 46, and is associated with the patient information. Based on the charging device identifier, the charging device 13 used by "Yamada Hanako-sama" is specified. Then, the data of the above-mentioned necessary matters are sent from the center device 45 only to the specified charging device 13 and stored in the storage unit. The charging apparatus 13 can store data of necessary items from the center apparatus 45 in the storage unit each time, and selects one of the storage units by pressing the SD switching key 53 of the remote controller 3. The two necessary items can be displayed on the television 12.

  As a modification, at the time of the information service in which the notification information is notified from the television 12 described above, the power of the television 12 can be controlled preferentially to the charging device 13 as needed from the center device 45. This is effective for simultaneous announcements in case of an emergency such as earthquake or fire, and the control signal from the center device 45 forcibly turns on the power of the television 12 without operating the remote control 3 to give a highly urgent notice. Information can be displayed preferentially on the screen of the television 12.

  Further, the notification information having no urgency is temporarily stored in the storage unit of the charging apparatus 13, and when the user presses the power key 51 of the remote control 3 to start viewing the television 12, the notification information is fixed on the screen of the television 12 from there. The time may be displayed. For confirmation of viewing of the notification information, the determination key 61 of the remote control 3 may be pressed, whereby the display of the television 12 can be returned to the previous setting state by the remote control 3. In this case, when the power key 51 of the mobile computer 3 is pressed again to turn off the television 12, the display of the notification information is also turned off, and the viewing screen is displayed during viewing. Alternatively, it is possible to regard it as the viewing confirmation of the notification information described above by pressing the power key 51 of the remote control 3 again to turn off the television 12.

  In addition, when a patient moves to another sickbed with the remote control 3 while leaving the bed head 11 during hospitalization, or when the patient is discharged from the hospital, the patient is discharged to the charging apparatus 13 using the remote control 3 until then. When the key 64 is pressed, the remaining amount of electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 is returned to the remote control 3. That is, as shown in step S11 of FIG. 11, the electronic money control processing unit 102 of the charging apparatus 13 sends out the remaining amount (1500 yen) of the electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 96 to the remote control 3 to store the electronic money. The electronic money control processing unit 85 of the remote controller 3 updates and stores the unit 96 to 0 yen, and the amount (0 yen) of electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 81 and the electronic from the charging device 13 The remaining amount of money is added, and the resultant 1,500 yen is stored and held in the electronic money storage unit 81 as a new amount of electronic money. At this time, the electronic money control processing unit 102 sends the updated amount of electronic money (= 0 yen) and the charging device identifier for specifying the charging device 13 to the center device 45 as user charging information. Do.

  Furthermore, the patient information control processing unit 105 of the charging device 13 stores the patient information stored in the patient information storage unit 99 in order to release the association between the charging device 13 and the patient information on the side of the center device 45 and initialize it. And a command signal for releasing the association between the charging device identifier and the remote control identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 98 are sent to the center device 45 through the wireless transmission / reception unit 100.

  In addition to that, the remote control 3 and the charging device 13 clear the value of the charging device identifier stored in the identifier storage unit 83 of the remote control 3 by the identifier control processing unit 87 and cancel the authentication of each other. The value of the remote control identifier stored in the 13 identifier storage units 98 is cleared by the identifier control processing unit 104, and the patient information control processing unit 105 clears the patient information stored in the patient information storage unit 99. As a result, in the charging apparatus 13 used so far, the ID number of the remote control identifier, the remaining amount of electronic money, and the patient information are all initialized and cleared, and the next patient can be used. In step S11 ', the electronic money is returned from the charging apparatus 13 to the remote control 3, and the charging apparatus identifier stored in the remote control 3 and the remote control identifier stored in the charging apparatus 13 are both cleared.

  The operation described above may not be accepted when the discharge key 64 is pressed in a short time, and may be accepted only when the discharge key 64 is pressed for a long time. Thereby, the erroneous operation of the discharge key 64 can be prevented. Further, in order to return only the remaining amount of electronic money of the remote control 3 from the charging device 13 without releasing the authentication between the remote control 3 and the charging device 13, the refund key 65 is pressed. In this case, every time the refund key 65 is pressed in a short time, the electronic money of a fixed amount (for example, 100 yen) is returned to the remote control 3 from the entire remaining amount of electronic money corresponding to the available remaining time of the television 7 and the refrigerator 8 When the refund key 65 is long-pressed, the entire remaining amount of electronic money is returned to the remote control 3. The electronic money returned to the remote control 3 in this way can be used for chargeable devices other than the television 12 and the refrigerator 14 installed in, for example, a coin launderette.

  In step S11, even if the discharge key 64 is depressed with another unauthenticated remote control 3 directed to the charging apparatus 13, data exchange between the remote control 3 and the charging apparatus 13 is performed as described above. It is not possible to return the remaining charge of the charging device 13 to the remote control 3. In this way, since the balance of the charging device 13 can not be used by the remote control 3 used in other beds, if the patient leaves the bed, it is possible to prevent the card-type theft if only storage of the remote control 3 is careful. it can.

  In this way, after initialization of the remote control 3, the charging device 13 and the center device 45 is performed other than electronic money, when the patient moves to another bed, it is only necessary to bring the remote control 3 with him. That is, simply pointing the remote control 3 used so far to the charging apparatus 13 of another sickbed and pressing the remittance key 66 will associate the remote control 3 with the charging apparatus 13 after movement in the above-mentioned procedure, With the electronic money remaining in the remote control 3, the television 12 and the refrigerator 14 can continue to be used. Thus, even when the patient moves the bed, if the user operates the remote control 3 storing his / her patient information to the charging device 13 of the moving destination, the patient information and the new charging device identifier can be obtained by the center device 45 Associating with the user is simple and reliable, and notification information such as the patient's requirements is continuously transmitted from the center device 45 to the specific patient through the television 12 controlled by the new charging device 13. You can watch it.

  When the patient leaves the hospital, when the patient inserts the remote control 3 into the remote control insertion slot 32 of the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 and presses the settlement button 34, the electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 81 of the remote control 3 is The remaining money amount to be paid as cash is calculated by the electronic money control processing unit 133, and coins corresponding to the remaining money amount are discharged to the coin payout opening 37 through the remaining money discharging unit 124. Then, as shown in step S12, the electronic money stored in the electronic money storage unit 81 of the remote control 3 becomes 0, and the remote control 3 including the electronic money returns to the initial state in step S0. In this way, the patient can use the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 to cash electronic money in the remote control 3, and the initialized remote control 3 is stored again inside the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31. Be done.

  In the history information storage unit 82 of the remote controller 3 in the series of operations from the deposit to the withdrawal described above, the date and time and the amount of money processing with electronic money with the charging device 13 and the remote controller deposit / settlement machine 31. Are stored as remote control history information of the remote control 3. Note that the number of stored remote control history information can be changed as appropriate. Thereby, the cash deposit and withdrawal history of the electronic money through each remote controller 3 can be individually confirmed.

  Further, while the history information control processing unit 97 of the charging apparatus 13 can exchange data with the specific remote controller 3, it is possible to use the history of the television 12 or the refrigerator 14 as the device history information as to when and how much money is used. The device history information is transferred from the charging apparatus 13 to the history information storage unit 82 of the remote controller 3 in the step S11 ', and the entire history information of the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 in the step S12. It is transferred to the storage unit 130. In particular, the history information control processing unit 134 of the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 stores it in the history information storage unit 82 of the remote control 3 every time the settlement button 34 is operated with the remote control 3 attached to the remote control insertion slot 32. Since the history information to be stored is transferred to the whole history information storage unit 130, all sales of the charging device 13 installed on each sickbed can be grasped by the remote control deposit / setter 31, and the information system 1 by the remote control deposit / setter 31. Integrated management becomes possible.

  When the patient leaves the hospital without performing the above-described withdrawal process, the charging device 13 is not initialized, and the next use becomes impossible as it is. Therefore, any charging device 2 is provided with a maintenance remote controller (not shown) capable of exchanging data, and electronic money of the charging device 13 is collected by this maintenance remote controller, and the charging device 13 is initialized. Enable the use of

  In addition, in the modification shown in FIG. 4, every time the patient information control processing unit 112 of the remote control lending device 2 reads patient information specific to a patient from the consultation ticket 5 so that the remote control 3 is not lent to outpatients other than hospitalized patients. , Sends the patient information to the center apparatus 45 through the communication means 49B. In the electronic medical record held by the center unit 45, it is recorded whether or not the patient requires hospitalization for each patient (hospitalized patient), and the patient information sent from the remote control lending device 2 and the electronic medical record From the comparison, if the patient corresponding to the patient information is an inpatient, a permission signal is sent to the remote control lending machine 2 through the communication means 49B, otherwise (for example, in the case of an outpatient) the remote control through the communication means 49B. Send a prohibition signal to the lending machine 2. In response to this, the patient information control processing unit 112 of the remote control lending device 2 ejects the remote control 3 in which the patient information is written only when the permission signal is received, while when the prohibition signal is received, the remote control 3 is By preventing discharge, it is possible to reliably prevent outpatients and the like from using the remote control 3.

  In addition, it is possible to rent only one remote control 3 from the remote control lending machine 2 each time a patient is admitted using another communication means 49C. In this case, when the patient information control processing unit 112 reads patient information specific to the patient from the medical examination ticket 5 with the remote control lending machine 2 or receives a permission signal from the center device 45, the patient information is stored in the storage unit (shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is already stored. If the same patient information is not stored in the storage unit, it is determined that the patient has not borrowed another remote control 3, and the remote control 3 in which the patient information is written is discharged, and the patient information is used as the remote control loaned information. And store it in the storage unit. On the other hand, if the same patient information, that is, remote control rental information is stored in the storage unit, it is determined that another remote control 3 has already been lent and the remote control 3 is not discharged. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent another remote control 3 from being lent to a patient who has already lent the remote control 3.

  Thereafter, when discharge processing is performed using the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31 at the time of discharge from the hospital, patient specific patient information stored in the remote control 3 is sent to the remote control lending machine 2 through the communication means 49C, and the remote control lending machine The second patient information control processing unit 112 deletes, from the storage unit, the same patient information as the patient information from the remote control deposit / settlement machine 31, that is, remote control lending completion information.
