For example, as shown in FIG. 11C, the mobile terminal 2 displays "KRK1" as the weighing machine identification information, and displays a message that the transmission of the refueling information is completed. Further, the mobile terminal 2 may acquire the unit price of the oil type from the gas station server 11 and display it on the display 205. In this way, the customer does not need to manually input the weighing machine identification information by capturing the two-dimensional code 134 including the weighing machine identification information with the mobile terminal 2. As a result, the burden on the worker can be reduced.

When the gas station server 11 receives the refueling information and the weighing machine identification information from the mobile terminal 2 (step S111), the gas station server 11 transmits the refueling information and the measuring machine identification information to the measuring machine control device 12 (step S113). The weighing machine control device 12 determines whether or not the measuring machine 13 corresponding to the measuring machine identification information is in use (step S114).

When the weighing machine 13 is in use (YES in step S114), the measuring machine control device 12 transmits a notification to the gas station server 11 that the measuring machine 13 is in use (step S115). The gas station server 11 transmits a notification to the mobile terminal 2 that the weighing machine 13 is in use (step S116), and the mobile terminal 2 displays a message that the measuring machine 13 is in use (step S116). S117). The customer can grasp the weighing machine 13 in use by the message of the mobile terminal 2 and move the vehicle to the weighing machine 13 capable of refueling.

On the other hand, when the measuring machine 13 is not in use, that is, when the measuring machine 13 can be refueled (NO in step S114), the measuring machine control device 12 specifies a nozzle according to the oil type included in the refueling information. A notification of permission to use the nozzle is transmitted to the weighing machine 13 (step S121). Further, the weighing machine control device 12 transmits refueling information to the external machine 14 used in combination with the weighing machine 13 (step S122).

The weighing machine 13 receives the nozzle use permission notification, and the designated nozzle becomes usable (step S123). The external machine 14 receives the refueling information, and based on the received refueling information, displays the operation information of the external machine 14 and the weighing machine 13, information on the work performed by the worker before refueling, and the like on the display device (step). S124). Based on the information displayed on the external machine 14, the worker performs the work before refueling on the external machine 14 (step S125). For example, the worker confirms the refueling information, and if the payment method is electronic money or a credit card, the worker keeps the electronic money medium or credit card from the customer and prepares the electronic money medium or credit card in the external machine 14. Have it read by the card reader. Further, the worker performs the work before refueling in the weighing machine 13 based on the information displayed on the external machine 14 (step S126). That is, the worker removes the nozzle from the holder of the weighing machine 13 and inserts the nozzle into the fuel filler port of the vehicle. Information on the pre-refueling work and operation of the external machine 14 and the weighing machine 13 may be individually displayed on the display devices of the external machine 14 and the measuring machine 13.

Upon receiving the refueling permission notification, the weighing machine 13 is in a state where refueling is possible (step S127). The worker refuels using the designated nozzle (step S128), and after the refueling is completed, the worker makes a payment with the external machine 14 (step S129).

As described above, in the present embodiment, the customer inputs the refueling information into the mobile terminal in advance, and the worker captures the two-dimensional code using the mobile terminal, so that the worker can input the weighing machine identification information and the refueling information to the external machine. Refueling can be done without manually inputting to. As a result, the gas station system can reduce the burden on the worker.
