PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laundry system, a clothes dryer and a washing machine with improved convenience, capable of securely preventing clothes from being stolen. SOLUTION: First, the time from the termination of operation of a laundry device 1 is measured by a clock part 42 of a server 4 when the clothes are left (C1). Then, after a prescribed period of time elapses, an extension charge is imposed based on the elapsed time (C2). When an IC card is inserted into the laundry device 1 and the extension charge is paid, the information (including the information on the device) and the identification data of the IC card are transmitted to the server 4 (C10), and the server 4 determines whether the transmitted information is right or wrong. If it is determined that the information is right, a command to release the lock of an open/close door 11 of the target device is transmitted to a data controller 2 (C13), and the lock is released. In this way, stealing of the clothes can be securely prevented. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
