1 is a schematic system diagram of a general ECR described above.

As shown in FIG. 1, the ECR includes a key input unit 1 for generating various key codes for selecting a mode designation, a sales registration, a money registration, and the like, and kisses the key input unit 1 according to the input key code. Under the control of the central processing unit 3 and the central processing unit 3 which perform various functions of the ECR and visually display various types of information under the control of the central processing unit 3 which processes various generated data. And a printer 7 for issuing various processing results in a document such as a customer receipt.

In addition, although not shown, the ECR includes a buzzer that alarms a malfunction or abnormal operation of the device under the control of the central processing unit 3.

In the above-described conventional ECR, the central processing unit 3 generates data by controlling a corresponding function according to a function selected by the key input unit 1, and stores the generated data in a predetermined memory. 5) or output to the printer (7). Receipts issued through the printer 7 are serially numbered so that the user cannot operate them arbitrarily. In some cases, a warning sound may be output through the aforementioned buzzer.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a customer lottery method using an electronic cash register according to the present invention.

First, in step S10, the user uses the key input unit 1 to program the number of the receipt which will receive the free gift and the contents of the free gift. Subsequently, in step S12, a function of a general ECR such as sales registration is performed, and a receipt is issued.
