In addition, when a prescribed time, for example, 10 minutes, elapses after washing or drying finished, a request for permission to unload the laundry is transmitted to the user's mobile phone100so as to ask the user whether the clothes can be taken out from the laundry machine102or not. The system charges the user when a prohibition response is sent back or there is no response to the request for permission to unload the laundry.
