Abstract
A business transaction data accumulating system having a plurality of POS terminals and an accumulating device. Each POS terminal includes a failure detecting device for detecting a communication line failure and a recording device for recording business transaction data if a communication line failure is detected. The accumulating device includes a reading device for reading the data which the recording device has recorded and an accumulating device for accumulating the data which the reading device has read. This scheme constitutes a reliable business transaction data accumulating system with a backup arrangement providing against line failures.
