First, the customer activates the refueling application on the mobile terminal 2 (step S101). The customer inputs the oil type, the refueling method, and the settlement method, which are refueling information, on the screen of the refueling application (step S102). When the customer inputs the refueling information, the input fields of the "gas station identification information" and the "weighing machine identification information" shown in FIG. 8 are blank. The customer possesses the mobile terminal 2, goes to a desired gas station by vehicle, and parks the vehicle in front of the desired weighing machine 13 (step S103). The customer uses the mobile terminal 2 to image the two-dimensional code 134 displayed on the weighing machine 13 (step S104). The two-dimensional code 134 includes the information shown in FIG. 7A.

The mobile terminal 2 decodes the two-dimensional code 134 and acquires the IP address of the management server 3, the gas station identification information, and the weighing machine identification information (step S105). The mobile terminal 2 inputs the acquired gas station identification information and the weighing machine identification information into the input fields of the “gas station identification information” and the “weighing machine identification information” shown in FIG. 8 (step S106). The mobile terminal 2 transmits the gas station identification information and the weighing machine identification information to the management server 3 together with the refueling information via the network 5 (step S107). That is, the mobile terminal 2 takes the image of the two-dimensional code 134 and acquires the IP address of the management server 3, the gas station identification information, and the gas station identification information, and the gas station identification information and the gas station identification information are obtained. Is transmitted to the management server 3 together with the refueling information. When the mobile terminal 2 completes the transmission, the gas station identification information and the weighing machine identification information are deleted, and the input fields of the "gas station identification information" and the "weighing machine identification information" shown in FIG. 8 are hidden ( Step S108). As described above, by capturing the two-dimensional code 134 including the weighing machine identification information with the mobile terminal 2, the customer does not need to manually input the weighing machine identification information. Therefore, the burden on the customer can be reduced.

The management server 3 receives the refueling information, the refueling station identification information, and the weighing machine identification information, and refers to the correspondence table shown in FIG. 9A, and obtains the IP address of the refueling station server 11 corresponding to the refueling station identification information. Acquire (step S109). The management server 3 transmits the refueling information and the weighing machine identification information to the gas station server 11 indicated by the IP address (step S110). The gas station server 11 receives the refueling information and the measuring machine identification information, and transmits the refueling information and the measuring machine identification information to the measuring machine control device 12 (step S111).

The measuring machine control device 12 receives the refueling information and the measuring machine identification information, and determines whether or not the measuring machine 13 corresponding to the measuring machine identification information is in use (step S112). When it is determined that the measuring machine 13 is not in use (NO in step S112), the measuring machine control device 12 designates a nozzle corresponding to the oil type included in the refueling information, and notifies the measuring machine of permission to use the nozzle. It is transmitted to 13 (step S113). Further, the measuring machine control device 12 transmits the refueling information to the external machine 14 used in combination with the measuring machine 13 (step S114).

The weighing machine 13 receives the nozzle use permission notification, and the designated nozzle is ready for use (step S115). The external machine 14 receives the refueling information, and based on the received refueling information, displays information on the work performed by the customer before refueling, operation information of the external machine 14 and the weighing machine 13 and the like on the display device (step S116). ). The customer performs the work before refueling in the external machine 14 based on the information displayed on the external machine 14 (step S117). For example, a customer inserts cash, reads a prepaid card, reads a credit card, reads a recording medium of electronic money, and the like. The customer performs the work before refueling in the weighing machine 13 based on the information displayed on the external machine 14 (step S118). For example, the customer removes the nozzle from the holder of the weighing machine 13, inserts the nozzle into the fuel filler port of the vehicle, and the like. Information on pre-fueling work and operation of the external machine 14 and the measuring machine 13 may be individually displayed on each display device of the external machine 14 and the measuring machine 13.

The clerk confirms that the work before refueling has been completed by using a monitoring monitor or the like (not shown), and presses the refueling permission button of the SSC (self-service console) 9 (step S119). The monitoring monitor, SSC9, is installed, for example, in the monitoring room of a gas station. For example, when the nozzle is removed from the holder of the weighing machine 13, the SSC 9 outputs a warning sound or the like, and the store clerk performs confirmation work by a monitoring monitor or the like. The SSC 9 transmits a refueling permission notification to the measuring machine control device 12 (step S120). The weighing machine control device 12 receives the refueling permission notification and transmits the refueling permission notification to the weighing machine 13 (step S121).

The weighing machine 13 receives the refueling permission notification and is in a state where refueling is possible (step S122). The customer refuels using the designated nozzle (step S123), and after the refueling is completed, the customer makes a payment with the external machine 14 (step S124).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the measuring machine 13 is in use (YES in step S112), the measuring machine control device 12 transmits a notification to the gas station server 11 that the measuring machine 13 is in use (YES). Step S125).

The gas station server 11 receives a notification that the weighing machine 13 is in use, and transmits the notification to the management server 3 (step S126). The management server 3 receives a notification that the weighing machine 13 is in use, and transmits the notification to the mobile terminal 2 (step S127).

The mobile terminal 2 receives the notification that the weighing machine 13 is in use, and displays a message that the measuring machine 13 is in use (step S128). As a result, the customer grasps that the two-dimensional code 134 displayed on the measuring machine 13 in use is erroneously imaged by the mobile terminal 2, and displays the two-dimensional code 134 displayed on the refuelable measuring machine 13. You can take a picture again.

As shown in FIG. 7B, a two-dimensional code 134 that does not include the gas station identification information may be used. In this case, the mobile terminal 2 captures and decodes the two-dimensional code 134, and acquires the IP address of the management server and the measuring machine identification information. The mobile terminal 2 transmits the weighing machine identification information together with the refueling information to the management server 3. The management server 3 receives the refueling information and the weighing machine identification information from the mobile terminal 2, and obtains the IP address of the gas station server 11 corresponding to the measuring machine identification information by referring to the correspondence table shown in FIG. 9B. do. The management server 3 transmits the refueling information and the measuring machine identification information to the gas station server 11 indicated by the IP address.
