Item content change information management unit 2, transmission item information recording area 3 for recording information of items to be transmitted to the host side, and transmission item information recording area 3 selects and records information of items to be transmitted to the host side A transmission item information management unit 4 is provided, and on the host side, a reception item information recording area 5 for recording the information of the items received from the terminal side, and information of the initial state of each item of the slip are recorded. An item content reproduction unit that reproduces the data of the content of the item of the slip on the terminal side on the host side based on the records of the item initial state recording area 6, the received item information recording area 5 and the item initial state recording area 6 7 and
A reproduction item content recording area 8 for recording data of the content of the reproduced item of the slip is provided.

Further, as a property to be connected to the terminal side and the host side, a data input device 9 for a user of an electronic slip to input / correct data in the slip, and an item for recording data of contents of each item of the slip A content recording area 10, an item content management section 11 for storing data input by the data input device 9 in the item content recording area 10, and a data transmission section 12 for transmitting item information are provided on the terminal side, and A data receiving unit 13 that receives item information, and a slip data processing unit 14 that performs processing using the item data sent from the terminal side.
And are provided on the host side.

Next, the operation will be described.

When the user of the electronic slip inputs or corrects the content of each item from the data input device 9, the input content is recorded in the item content storage area 10 via the item content management unit 11, while the item Information that the content has been changed from the initial state is recorded in the item content change information recording area 1 via the item content change information management unit 2. Next, when transmitting the voucher data to the host for processing, the transmission item information management unit 4 determines, based on the content of the item content change information recording area 1,
Only changed items are extracted from the item content recording area 10 and recorded in the transmission item information recording area 3. The data transmitting unit 12 transmits the recorded contents of the transmission item information recording area 3 to the data receiving unit 13. The data receiving unit 13 that has received the item information records the received information in the received item information recording area 5. Next, the item content reproduction unit 7 reproduces the changed data of the terminal-side slip by overwriting the contents of the item initial state recording area 6 with the contents of the received item information recording area 5, and reproduces this item contents. It is recorded in the reproduction item content recording area 8. The initial state of the slip on the terminal side is set in the item initial state recording area 6 when the user calls the slip from the host side.

The item data finally used for the processing by the slip data processing unit 14 of the host is recorded in the reproduction item content recording area 8 in which the slip data on the terminal side is reproduced.
