PURPOSE:To decrease man-hour and to obtain higher efficiency of operation by inputting renewal data to a controller from a terminal device at the time of breakage of the circuit between the computer center and the controller, and sending the data to other terminal devices. CONSTITUTION:When renewal data are to be sent to respective electronic registers 1a, 1b... at the time of breakage of the circuit between a terminal controller (T/C)2 and a computer center 3, an idle circuit is selected. Then, a renewal data input indication button 17a is first pressed down and the renewal data, which are mentioned in a plan table, are inputted. The inputted data are stored by renewing the stored data at the indication area of a storage pointer. When a transaction button 7a is pressed down, the renewal data are read out in succession and sent to the T/C2 through a private branch circuit. When other registers are communicated about the fact that the renewal data are stored in T/C2, respective renewal data demanding pushbuttons 7b are pressed down and the renewal data are received. After that, these renewal data are used.
