If the user enters a name and password (step 302), the WWW server unit 216 determines whether the user has been registered (step 303). If the user has not registered, the WWW server unit 216 selects whether to enter the registration screen or transmit the non-registrant screen. If the user is registered, the gas station-based service is transmitted to execute the gas station-based service so as to perform the gas station-based service (step 305). A gas station-based service homepage refers to the first page of a program for implementing a gas station-based service on the Internet. The user looks at the gas station-based service homepage and selects one of e-commerce, rental service, and reservation service (step 306). The WWW server unit 216 is a CGI (Common GateWay Interface) program based on the function of the CGI that allows a user to exchange data with a server to which the user is connected. to be. The CGI program processes the input data, that is, the user's selection and the data input at the gas station, as a binary and requests the analysis of the data to the database manager 215 (step 308).

The database manager 215 searches for, analyzes, and outputs the requested binary data to the CGI program unit 218 with reference to the database 217 (step 309). The CGI program unit 218 creates a page so that the user can select a service product by referring to the input data and outputs the page to the WWW server unit 216 (step 310). The WWW server unit 216 outputs a creation page to the browser 201 so as to select the input product (step 311). The user selects a desired product item from the product selection page output to the output unit 027 by the browser 201 (step 312). When the user's selection is completed, the browser 201 outputs data regarding the contents of the selection item to the WWW server unit 216. The WWW server unit 216 drives the CGI program unit 218 to process data relating to the contents of the selected selection item (step 314). As in steps 308 and 309, the CGI program unit 218 processes the input product item data as a binary and requests a data analysis from the database manager 215 (step 315). The database manager 215 searches for the input data, analyzes the data so that the user can execute the payment process, and outputs the data to the CGI program unit 218 (step 316). The CGI program unit 218 generates an evaluation page so that the user executes the payment process by referring to the input data and outputs the page to the WWW server unit 216 (step 317). The WWW server unit 216 outputs the input payment page to the browser 201 (step 318). The user performs a payment process with the content shown in the output section of the payment page retrieved through the browser 201 (step 319). When the user completes the payment process, the browser 201 outputs the payment data to the WWW server unit 216. The WWW server unit 216 drives the CGI program unit 218 to analyze and store the input payment data (step 320).

The CGI program unit 218 processes the input payment data as binary, evaluates the test data (step 321), and creates a result page (step 322). The CGI program unit 218 requests the database manager 215 to analyze the payment data and store the result data (step 324). The database unit 217 analyzes and stores the input result data (operation 325). Meanwhile, the CGI program unit 218 transmits the created result page to the WWW server unit 216.
