When the time / song subtraction combined operation mode is set by the rate setting switch unit 28, the microcomputer 29 determines in step S31 in steps S9 and S10 of FIG. An input memory in which the amount of the 100-yen coin inserted from the coin insertion slot 11 and the amount of the 1000-yen banknote inserted from the 1000-yen bill insertion slot 12 and the amount of the previously inserted currency are added based on the input signal from the section 26. If the amount is not 0 (100 yen or more), the process proceeds to step S32, and it is checked whether or not one hour is being counted.

If the microcomputer 29 is not clocking for one hour, that is, if the hourly charge for the first hour has not been charged at the time of using the karaoke device 34, the process proceeds to step S33, where the charge for one hour is calculated from the stored amount of money. (Insufficient time charge) is subtracted, and it is determined in step S34 whether the charge for one hour is insufficient. If the charge for one hour is insufficient, the process proceeds to step S40, and the insufficient amount is stored in the memory. . The microcomputer 2
9 is the charge for one hour from the input storage amount (insufficient time charge)
If there is no shortage charge after subtracting, the process proceeds to step S35, in which the external timer 32 is started to start measuring one hour.

Next, in step S36, the microcomputer 29 calculates 1 from the input storage amount in step S33.
The remaining input storage amount obtained by subtracting the hourly charge (insufficient time charge), and the steps S9 and S1 in FIG.
At 0, 100 input from the coin insertion slot 11 based on input signals from the 100-yen coin checker 25 and the 1,000-yen banknote discriminator 26.
10 coins inserted from the coin slot 12
One song fee (insufficient fee) is subtracted from the stored amount of money obtained by adding the amount of the banknote of 00 yen and the amount of money inserted before (the remaining fee corresponding to the insufficient fee previously stored in step S41). In S37, it is checked whether there is a shortage fee for one song, and if there is no shortage fee for one song, step S38.
After adding the number of permitted songs by one in step S3, step S3 is repeated.
Return to 6.

The microcomputer 29 determines in step S3
Until the input storage amount becomes less than the one-song fee in step 7, the number of songs corresponding to the initial input storage amount in step S36 and the number of previously permitted songs are added, and in step S37, the remaining input storage amount is reduced. 0 (the remaining amount of input memory is 1
When the charge is less than the charge of the music and the difference becomes 0 or less, the process proceeds to step S41, where the shortage charge for one music at that time is stored in the memory, and the number of songs permitted to be used is not 0 (at least one music) in step S42 ), And if the number of permitted songs is one or more, the player input / output unit 3
Then, a karaoke device 34 is made usable by outputting a player use permission output via the terminal 4.

In step 4, the subtraction signal from the karaoke device 34 is monitored to determine whether the karaoke device 34 is operating (for one song) or not. When the operation is completed, that is, after the karaoke device 34 starts operating for one song, the operation ends. If the number of songs has been reached (the operation includes interruption of the song), the process proceeds to step S45, and if the number of songs has been subtracted from the song usage time, the number of permitted songs stored in the memory is subtracted by one in step S46. In S47, it is checked whether or not the number of songs permitted to be used is 0. Here, when the number of permitted songs becomes zero, the microcomputer 29 proceeds to step S4.
In step 9, the player use prohibition output is output and the karaoke device 34 is disabled regardless of whether one hour has elapsed.

If the number of permitted songs is one or more, or if the subtraction of the number of songs is invalid in step S45, the microcomputer 29 proceeds to step S48, reads the time measurement data of the timer 32, and determines the time of use of the karaoke device 34. It is checked whether one hour has elapsed since the start of the clocking, and if one hour has elapsed, the timer of the external timer 32 is stopped,
In step S49, a player use prohibition output is output to disable the karaoke device 34.

Accordingly, when the microcomputer 29 is set to the time / song subtraction combined operation mode by the rate setting switch unit 28, the time fee and the song fee set to an appropriate fee other than free are 100 yen coins. The figure when the sum of the amount of the 100-yen coin inserted from the mouth 11 and the amount of the 1000-yen bill inserted from the 1000-yen bill insertion slot 12 is equal to or more than the sum of the hourly fee and the fee for one song. In step S15 of step 6, the remaining display sections 17 and 19 are turned on, the current remaining time is displayed in units of minutes on the time display section 14, and the current number of permitted uses is displayed on the song number display section 15, and the karaoke device 34 is displayed.
