A settlement system is provided for an electronic cashing card such as an IC card, a prepaid card, or the like. A card comprises a memory storing process data to execute a settlement under a condition of matching a personal authentication. Also, a memory stores process data to execute a settlement without matching a personal authentication. When settlement is executed with authentication processing, an authentication balance stored memory is updated to the amount of the balance after the settlement. A non-authentication balance stored in memory is updated to an amount of money equal to or smaller than the authentication balance. When executing a settlement, the non-authentication balance is compared with the authentication balance. It is determined that an illegal process has been executed with the card when the non-authentication balance is larger than the authentication balance.

A method of controlling the opening of a door of a laundry treatment machine is provided. According to the method, when a door opening signal is detected during an operation of a laundry treatment machine, the temperature and the water level in a tub are reduced, and then the door of the laundry treatment machine is opened. Thus, it is possible to prevent a user from being burned by hot air or water in the tub and thus to improve the safety of a laundry treatment machine. Also, it is possible to enhance the convenience of a laundry treatment machine by allowing a user to open the door of the laundry treatment machine during an operation of the laundry treatment machine and to additionally put laundry in the laundry treatment machine. In addition, according to the method, wash water is discharged from a tub according to the temperature and the water level in the tub, and then cold water is supplied into the tub. Since the amount of wash water to be discharged from the tub is determined in consideration of the amount of cold water to be supplied into the tub, there is no need to additionally discharge wash water from the tub after the supply of cold water into the tub because the water level in the tub is controlled not to exceed a reference water level after the supply of cold water into the tub. Therefore, it is possible to reduce waiting time of a user.
