The control unit 380 transmits the supplementary service information generated in the supplementary service providing unit 360 to the tag 120 through the reader and the tag 120 records the received supplementary service information in the corresponding memory.

The control unit 380 outputs the accumulated value through the audio output unit 340 or the display unit 330 and outputs the accumulated value to the user through the audio output unit 340 or the display unit 330. In this case, It is possible to confirm whether or not to receive the additional service according to the accumulated value. For example, if the car coupon is accumulated enough to receive a free car wash service, the confusion preventing and paying system 130 notifies the user of the car wash coupon and confirms whether or not to receive a free car wash.

When the user receives the additional service, the control unit 380 deletes the additional service information corresponding to the additional service to be provided from the tag 120 and transmits the additional service providing server (for example, a car wash management server, And transmits the supplementary service breakdown.
