          Appeal No. 2000-0341                                                        
          Application No. 08/849,169                                                  


          vehicle device itself can be any control device in the vehicle              
          which, if blocked, prevents continued operation of the                      
          vehicle, or prevents it from being started.  The blocking                   
          control device is connected to a transmission/receiving device              
          and is also connected to a vehicle use parameter acquisition                
          device.  The parameter device may use a vehicle use parameter,              
          such as the distance traveled.  The blocking control device                 
          releases the old information when the vehicle use parameter                 
          has reached its predetermined value.  If new release                        
          information from a station outside of the car is received, the              
          blocking control device resets the vehicle use parameter back               
          to its starting value.  The operation of the vehicle is then                
          permitted to continue in normal manner.  However, if new                    
          release information from the external station is not present                
          when the vehicle use parameter has reached its predetermined                
          value, the blocking control device either limits the use of                 
          the vehicle during an overtime period, or blocks the motor                  
          control device entirely.  Further understanding of the                      
          invention can be obtained by the following claim.
