2. Description of the Related Art A conventional electronic cash register of this type has a means for registering an entrance time and an exit time for each facility user, and calculates a facility usage time from the registered entrance time and exit time. Then, the facility usage fee is calculated from the facility usage time, and the facility usage fee and the facility usage time are registered in the storage unit as the productivity data related to the facility usage. It should be noted that the facility users include not only individual customers but also group customers. In this, a means for inputting a discount ticket that defines a time such as 1 hour or 2 hours is provided, and when the discount ticket is input by this input means, the specified time of the discount ticket is subtracted from the actual facility use time. Some had a function to calculate the facility usage fee based on time.

By the way, in facilities such as sports clubs and karaoke boxes, there are cases in which facility usage charges are free when employees or their families use the facilities. However, the conventional electronic cash register does not have the function of registering the productivity data by making the facility usage fee completely free regardless of the facility usage time. For this reason, conventionally, just like general facility users, the facility usage time is calculated from the entrance time and the exit time of the customer, and the facility usage fee is calculated from the facility usage time, The usage fee and facility usage time are registered in the storage unit. After that, a return registration operation of manually inputting the entrance time, the exit time, etc. of the customer was performed to return and register the full facility usage fee.

[0004]

As described above, the conventional electronic cash register of this type has a function of calculating the facility usage fee after deducting the facility usage time from the specified time. Since there was no function to register the facility usage fee calculated from the facility usage time to the facility usage productivity data, the customer who made the facility usage fee free would be complicated after the normal registration operation. It was necessary to perform a simple return registration operation, and the operability was poor. Further, since the return registration operation is generally performed during a time when there are no customers, there is a risk that the return registration operation may be forgotten and accurate productivity data may not be obtained.

The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to improve the operability for the customer who makes the facility usage fee free and to collect the productivity data concerning the facility usage. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic cash register which can enhance credibility.

[0006]
