Note that the total key operation time and the drawer opening time are the operating time of the electronic register in the present invention.

(2) Operation Next, the operation of this device will be explained. Now, assume that after setting the mode switch to the "registration" mode, the person in charge a starts registration.
First, when the person in charge a operates his own person-specific key prior to registration, the operation signal is inputted to the D-type flip-flop 9 via the decoder 2, and its output resets the counters 8, 10, and 11, respectively.
It is also input to the CPU 3 and stored in the V register. Next, when the first numeric key is operated to start customer registration, the operation signal sets the RS type flip-flop 6 via the decoder 2 and the output line 13, and its Q output is set to the AND gate. 13, and as a result, AND gate 13
A counter 10 counts the clocks passed through the counter 10.
At the same time, the operation signal is counted by the counter 8 via the OR circuit 7 as the number of key operations. After the first numeric key operation, when sales data is input by continuously operating the numeric key, the counter 8 counts the number of times the operation signal is output each time the numeric key is operated, and the counter 8 counts the number of times the operation signal is output. While this is being performed, the counter 10 counts the input clocks to measure time. Next, when the department key is operated after the numeric key, the operation signal is output to the output line l2.
The RS type flip-flop 6 is reset via the RS type flip-flop 6, and as a result, the clock supply to the counter 10 is stopped, and the counter 10 stores the counted value of the time required for the person in charge A to operate the numeric keys. Further, the operation signals of the departmental keys are counted by a counter 8 via an OR circuit 7. Similarly, when the first numeric key is operated to input the next sales data, the counter 10 resumes counting operation, and the input clock is updated to the previous count value until the departmental key is operated. Cumulatively add up and update the counting time. When the input of sales data for the customer is completed and the current/reserve key is operated, the operation signal is sent to the RS type flip-flop 5 via the output line l1.
is set and the drawer 4 is opened. Then, the clock is counted by the counter 11 via the AND gate 12. Then, when the transfer of money between the person in charge A and the customer is completed and the drawer 4 is closed, a reset signal is output,
The RS type flip-flop 5 is reset. At the same time, the input of the clock to the counter 11 is stopped, so that the counter 11 counts the opening time of the drawer 4.

The same operation as described above is executed every time a customer is registered by the person in charge a, and as a result, the counter 8 shows the number of operations of the numeric key and the department key, and the counter 10
The time required to operate the numeric key is displayed in the counter 1.
1, the opening time of the drawer 4 is counted. Then, when a series of tasks by responsible person a are completed,
When the task end key of the input unit 1 is operated, the counted values of the counters 8, 10, and 11 are stored in the key number totalizer B1, key operation time totalizer D1, and drawer time totaler E1 of the total memory 14 in response, respectively. Ru. Note that the number of transactions and the total sales registered by the person in charge a are stored in the number totalizer A1 and the sales totaler C1, respectively. Next, when the person in charge B starts registration in place of the person in charge a and operates the corresponding person in charge key, the counters 8, 10, 11 are activated by the signal outputted through the D flip-flop 9.
The count value for person in charge a is reset. After this, a series of registration tasks are executed by person in charge b, and when the task end key is operated at the end of this task, the counted values for person in charge b counted in counters 8, 10, and 11 correspond to the total number of keys. device B2, key operation totalizer D2, drawer time totalizer E
2 is stored. In exactly the same way, the responsible person c,
As a result of executing the series of registration operations according to d, the counted value is stored in the corresponding totalizer of the totalizing memory 14.
