PURPOSE:To prepare quickly a countermeasure to an occurrence where a designated amount of money is not paid normally due to a fault at the side of a terminal system, by reporting immediately and automatically the trouble to a central system. CONSTITUTION:A telegram indicating the payment of cash is sent from a central system 1 to an inquiry given from a terminal device 5. Then a control part 41 of a terminal controller 4 stores temporarily the telegram in a buffer memory 43 and then sends it to the device 5. The buffer 5 receives the telegram and stores it to the memory 43. A cash payment mechanism 58 starts payment of an amount set by a counter 55. A counter 55 counts the amount of cash that is paid actually. A comparator 57 compares the amount designated by the counter 55 and the value of the counter 56, and the discordance if obtained is informed to the device 4. |
