Abstract

Abstract The electronic cash register stores monetary transaction information for each guest in the first memory (1) by entering it with the input means (1), and when a totalization operation is specified by the first specifying means (10), the electronic cash register sums up the amount of money stored in the first memory (13) and adds a result of the calculation to the data in the second memory (15). When entering monetary transaction information for a guest is temporarily ended and there is possibility of reentering the transaction information, the cash register keeps the transaction process in the temporary totalization state, namely, keeps the data stored in the first memory (13) without clearing it as summing up the amount of money stored in the first memory (13) and adding its calculation result to the data in the second memory (11), and then, when an additional registration is specified by the third specifying means (9), the cash register subtracts the calculation result in the first memory (13) from the value stored in the second memory (15), and stores the additionally registered transaction information from the input means (1) in the first memory (13) as an additional registration. Accordingly, when registration of its additional order is performed in a restaurant after registration of a new order was performed, the cash register can print both monetary transaction information of a new order and its additional order together on a single slip (5) on the basis of the data stored in the first memory (13).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 220 words
An electronic cash register comprising: input means (1) for entering monetary transaction information for each guest; a first memory (13) to store transaction information for each guest; a second memory (15) to store a total amount of money for each guest; first specifying means (10) for specifying a totalizing operation; second specifying means (11) for specifying the process to be kept in a temporary totalization state; third specifying means (9) for specifying an additional registration; and control means (2) which (a) makes a monetary transaction processing by summing an amount of money stored in the first memory (13) in response to output of the first specifying means (10), adds a result of the processing to the data in the second memory (15), and then clears contents stored in the first memory (13), (b) makes a monetary transaction processing by summing an amount of money stored in the first memory (13) in response to output of the second specifying means (11), and keeps the data stored in the first memory (13), and (c) subtracts a result of the processing in the first memory (13) from the value stored in the second memory (15) in response to output of the third specifying means (9) and makes an additional registration of transaction information from the input means (1) on the first memory (13).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 220 words
An electronic cash register comprising: input means (1) for entering monetary transaction information for each guest; a first memory (13) to store transaction information for each guest; a second memory (15) to store a total amount of money for each guest; first specifying means (10) for specifying a totalizing operation; second specifying means (11) for specifying the process to be kept in a temporary totalization state; third specifying means (9) for specifying an additional registration; and control means (2) which (a) makes a monetary transaction processing by summing an amount of money stored in the first memory (13) in response to output of the first specifying means (10), adds a result of the processing to the data in the second memory (15), and then clears contents stored in the first memory (13), (b) makes a monetary transaction processing by summing an amount of money stored in the first memory (13) in response to output of the second specifying means (11), and keeps the data stored in the first memory (13), and (c) subtracts a result of the processing in the first memory (13) from the value stored in the second memory (15) in response to output of the third specifying means (9) and makes an additional registration of transaction information from the input means (1) on the first memory (13).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 84 words
An electronic cash register as claimed in claim 1, wherein the input means (1) is provided with guest code input keys (6) to enter a code for identifying a guest and item registration keys (7) to enter monetary transaction information, and the control means (2) stores monetary transaction information entered by pressing the item registration key (7), corresponding to a guest code entered into the first memory (13) by pressing the guest code input key in response to output of the input means (1).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 124 words
An electronic cash register as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first memory (13) contains a flag (14) to indicate the transaction information for a guest is kept in the temporary totalization state; the control means (2) turns on the flag to indicate the temporary totalizing state is kept in response to output of the second specifying means (11), subtracts a result of the calculation in the first memory (13) from a value stored in the second memory (15) in response to output of the third specifying means (9) when the flag is turned on in response to output of the third specifying means (9), and makes an additional registration of the transaction information from the input means (1) on the first memory (13).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 68 words
An electronic cash register as claimed in claim 1, wherein the electronic cash register is provided with means for printing on a slip (5) both monetary transaction information stored in the first memory (13) before specifying the temporary totalization state through the second specifying means (11) and another monetary transaction information stored in the first memory (13) after specifying an additional registration through the third specifying means (9).
