Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate reserving operation and improve the efficiency of reservation acceptance processing by using a reservation card on which individual information is recorded. CONSTITUTION:When the reservation card 5 is inserted into a slit, a read head 9 reads its individual information and when the information is proper, a CPU18 turns on a lamp to urge the user to input specification information. The user inputs a data and other pieces of specification information with keys on an input part 3. Those pieces of specification information and individual information are stored in a RAM20 and the CPU18 transmits them to a center device through a transmission control part 21. When the reservation is accepted, the center device sends reservation information and the CPU18 stores it in the RAM20 and the display part 4 indicates that the reservation is possible. Then, the reservation information is read out of the RAM20 and written on the magnetic stripe 6 on the card 5 through a write head 10, and the card 5 is returned to the user from the slit.
