The monitoring monitor, SSC 9, is installed, for example, in the monitoring room of the 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 clerk performs a confirmation work by a monitor or the like. The SSC 9 transmits a refueling permission notification to the weighing 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 enters a refuelable state (step S122). The customer refuels using the designated nozzle (step S123), and after the refueling is completed, the external machine 14 performs the settlement (step S124).

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

  The gas station server 11 receives the 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 the 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 weighing machine 13 is in use (step S128). As a result, the customer recognizes that the mobile terminal 2 has received the beacon signal from the beacon device 134 of the weighing machine 13 in use, and carries the beacon signal from the beacon device 134 of the weighing machine 13 that can refuel with the beacon signal again. It can be received by the terminal 2.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, a beacon signal that does not include the gas station identification information may be used. In this case, the mobile terminal 2 refers to the correspondence table shown in FIG. 9A and acquires the IP address of the management server 3 corresponding to the management server identification code included in the received beacon signal.
