PURPOSE:To obtain the controller implementing proper termination processing based on a state of a monitored equipment at the end of a job by retrieving the operating state of the monitored equipment through a job end operation, continuing the monitor in the case of the operating state, reporting no need of calling in the inoperating state and interrupting power. CONSTITUTION:When a job end operation input is reported to an SC 20, an operating state retrieval section 21 of the SC 20m sends an operating start request text to all sales shop equipments 7. A terminal adaptor 8 of the sales shop equipment 7 replies the operating state of each automatic equipment 9 to the SC 20. A job end processing section 22 sends a call unrequired text to all the sales shop equipments 7 when no busy automatic equipment 9 is in existence, and sends a power interrupt command to a WS 2 to interrupt a power supply 5. When there is any busy automatic equipment 9, a message box is displayed on a monitor screen of the WS 2 making a job end operation to request a confirmation entry of successive monitor job. When the confirmation is designated, the monitor job is continued, and when cancellation is commanded, the power supply 5 and the power of the WS 2 are forcibly interrupted and a call unrequired text is sent.
