PURPOSE:To attain a non-contact automatic charging system by using a memory medium produced by a company which assures the collection of charges to separate the transmission/reception jobs from each other between the charging information and the road information. CONSTITUTION:A terminal peripheral device 21 contains a read/write circuit 26 which is capable of reading/writing jobs to an external memory medium 2. An external memory medium (IC card 2) produced by an organ (bank) which assures the future payment of charges is put into the circuit 26. Thus a CPU 22 requests a user to input the identification number. When the coincidence is confirmed between the input identification number and the identification number stored in the card 2, the transmission/reception is carried out for both the charging information and the road information. In the case no coincidence is confirmed between both identification numbers, the transmission/reception is carried out for the road information only like a case where the card 2 is not inserted to the circuit 26. Thus the information transmitted and received with presence of the card 2 is separated. As a result, the charges of future payment is smoothly collected and an automatic charging system is attained. |
