If there is an ongoing questionnaire, the target questionnaire exists and the magnitude of the given frequency transmitted to the site server 14, that is, the target of the target questionnaire The magnitude of the given frequency specified based on the number that satisfies the condition, for example, 5 frequency when the first target condition is satisfied, 10 frequency when the second target condition is satisfied, A questionnaire message for notifying that the magnitude of the given frequency is given as a result of an answer to the questionnaire, such as 15 degrees when the target condition is satisfied Moni, a selection input of the "questionnaire" for accepting the Answer Yes to the questionnaire are displayed.

  Then, when the member player selects and inputs the selection input section of the “questionnaire” in order to answer the questionnaire, the site server 14 receives the selection input, and the site server 14 When the questionnaire request is transmitted from 14 to the management server 140, the questionnaire data (questionnaire file) of the questionnaire ID determined as the survey target person is read from the questionnaire table and transmitted to the site server 14. Thus, the answer acceptance page shown in FIG. 12 based on the questionnaire data (questionnaire file) is distributed from the site server 14. In the management server 140, based on the transmission of questionnaire data to the site server 14, the number of transmissions stored in association with the questionnaire ID corresponding to the transmitted questionnaire data is specified above. 1 is added to the number of transmissions corresponding to the number of target conditions satisfied by the various attribute information of the member player.

  The member player selects “Yes” or “No” for each question displayed on the distributed answer reception page, and after answering the questionnaire, moves to a position below the answer reception page. Select and input the “Send” selection input section displayed.

  When this “transmission” is selected and input, the site server 14 manages based on the fact that the response contents as the selection contents “Yes” and “No” are received together with the selection input. An answer result including the answer content is transmitted to the server 140, and the management server 140, based on the answer result, the questionnaire data (questionnaire file) transmitted as described above, the aggregation result corresponding to each target condition of the questionnaire ID Among the files, a count result file corresponding to the number of target conditions satisfied by the various attribute information of the member player specified above is specified as an update target, and each question included in the specified count result file is Answer contents by updating the totals result file by adding and updating to the corresponding number of “Yes”, “No”, “No answer” Aggregation is performed. It should be noted that at the stage when this count result file is updated, the number of answers corresponding to the updated count result file, that is, the number of target conditions satisfied by the various attribute information of the member player specified above. 1 is added to the corresponding number of answers and updated, and “completed” is stored (registered) in the item corresponding to the member ID and the questionnaire ID in the member information table by game hall.

  Then, the management server 140 accepts the member ID table on the login page and stores the other member ID stored in association with the member ID transmitted from the site server 14 and the game corresponding to the member ID. Identify all the venues, and identify the game hall (game hall name) corresponding to the member ID that the member player has logged in to and the game hall (game hall name) that is a member other than the game hall. Thus, all the game halls (game hall names) of which the member player is a member are specified, and game hall information including the specified game hall (game hall name) is transmitted to the site server 14. When there is no game hall that is a member other than the game hall corresponding to the member ID that has logged in, as described above, the game hall information is not transmitted to the site server 14, and the login is continued. The game hall corresponding to the member ID is automatically identified as a game hall that uses the grant frequency given to the questionnaire response.

  Based on the transmission of the game hall information, the site server 14 provides check boxes 50 corresponding to the respective game halls (game hall names) included in the game hall information, together with a questionnaire completion message, as shown in FIG. A game hall selection page including a list of game halls that have been played is distributed.

  The member game player checks the check box 50 corresponding to the game hall where he / she wants to use the given frequency given to the answer to the questionnaire on the distributed game hall selection page, and then displays it in the lower position of the page. The selected “select” selection input section is selected and input. In the present embodiment, these check boxes 50 are exclusively selected so that only one game hall can be specified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these check boxes 50 can be designated. A plurality of checks in the box 50 can be selected, and when there are a plurality of selected game halls, it is possible to evenly assign the degree of grant frequency to each selected game hall.

  When this “decision” is selected and input, the game server (game field name) selected by the check together with the selection input is received by the site server 14, and the game of the selected game field is selected. When the selected game hall information including the place name is transmitted from the site server 14 to the management server 140, the management server 140 provides the game hall to which the selected grant frequency is given and the member game at the game hall. The member ID of the person is specified. Then, the member management computer 120 installed in the specified game hall is assigned the member ID at the specified game hall and the large number of grants determined to be given to the member player by answering the questionnaire. The frequency assignment instruction including the frequency is sent, and the magnitude of the grant frequency included in the frequency grant instruction is added to the given frequency corresponding to the questionnaire ID of the answered questionnaire in the questionnaire table. In addition, based on the frequency counted in these granted frequencies, the client who requested the questionnaire is charged for a predetermined period, for example, in units of one month, so that the charged price can be settled. , Conducted between the client company and the questionnaire receiving company.

  Based on this frequency assignment instruction, as shown in FIG. 16, the member management computer 120 sets the new grant frequency stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID included in the received frequency assignment instruction. The addition frequency is added by updating the addition frequency included in the frequency assignment instruction.

  Next, with respect to the case where the questionnaire registered in the questionnaire table of the management server 140 is carried out, the questionnaire shown in FIG. The following description is based on a display screen displayed on the notebook computer 4, for example, which is an information terminal that can be operated by the member player as shown in FIG.

  The management server 140 of this embodiment identifies each questionnaire currently being executed from the questionnaire stored in the questionnaire table at a predetermined time once a day from the stored contents of the implementation period, For each of the identified questionnaires, the member ID of the target person of the questionnaire, specifically, the member player who satisfies at least the first target condition of the target condition of the questionnaire is stored in the member information table by game hall. Based on the various attribute information of each member player stored, a questionnaire mail including the questionnaire contents of the questionnaire is identified as a member player scheduled to be distributed, and among the member players scheduled to be distributed, the questionnaire of the questionnaire The member ID of a member player whose content has not been transmitted is added to the questionnaire ID item of the questionnaire in the member information table by game hall. Extracted based on the finished "is not stored.

  Then, various attribute information stored in the member information table for each game hall in association with the extracted member ID of each member player, and a questionnaire on which the member player is scheduled to be distributed in the questionnaire table The number of target conditions (number of target conditions) that the member player matches (satisfy) based on each target condition stored in association with the questionnaire ID of the member player and the member ID of the member player The e-mail address of the member player is identified from the e-mail address stored in the member information table by game hall in association with the member ID, and stored in the member ID table in association with the member ID of the member player. All other member IDs that have been assigned and the game hall (game hall name) to which the member ID corresponds are specified.

  And the magnitude of the grant frequency corresponding to the number of the specified target conditions (number of target conditions) among the magnitudes of the respective grant frequencies stored in the questionnaire table in association with the questionnaire ID of the questionnaire scheduled to be coordinated Is extracted and determined as the amount of grant given to the member player in response to the questionnaire contents of the questionnaire scheduled to be distributed.

  And, for the answer corresponding to the magnitude of the determined grant frequency, the e-mail address of the identified member player, the names of all the game halls of which the member player is a member, and the contents of the questionnaire scheduled to be distributed A questionnaire mail transmission request including a program is transmitted to the site server 14, and the number of transmissions corresponding to the number of target conditions stored in the questionnaire table in association with the questionnaire ID of the questionnaire is specified above. 1 is added to the number of target conditions that the member player matches (that is, satisfies), that is, the number of transmissions corresponding to the number of target conditions of the member player corresponding to the e-mail address included in the questionnaire mail transmission request. To do. Then, in the questionnaire ID member information table corresponding to all the member IDs stored in the member ID table in association with the e-mail address included in the transmitted questionnaire mail transmission request, “Done” "Is stored (registered).

  As shown in FIG. 18, the site server 14 that has received this questionnaire mail transmission request adds the degree of grant included in the received questionnaire mail transmission request to the email address included in the received questionnaire mail transmission request. Includes a message given by an answer to the questionnaire, and transmits a questionnaire mail attached with a response program included in the received questionnaire mail transmission request.

  In the questionnaire mail of this embodiment, as described above, the degree of grant frequency according to the number of target conditions of the questionnaire that the various attribute information of the member player who received the questionnaire mail satisfies, specifically, For example, if the third target condition is satisfied, 15 degrees that can be used for games at the amusement hall will be presented as answers to the questionnaire, and the answers to the questionnaire will be attached to the questionnaire email It is notified that it is necessary to specify the game hall that uses the program and uses the given frequency of gifts.

  When the member player who has received this questionnaire mail answers the questionnaire, the attached answering program is activated. This answer program includes HTML data including the contents of the answer acceptance page for accepting the contents of the questionnaire and the contents of the game hall selection page, and the HTML data is a member as shown in FIG. Displayed by the browsing program (browser) of the notebook personal computer 4 which is an information terminal operated by the player, accepts answers to questionnaires and accepts designation of a game hall that uses the number of gifts given (given).

  Then, after the member player performs the answer to each question on the display page shown in FIG. 19 based on the HTML data and checks the check box 50 for the playground, the “send” By selecting and inputting the selection input section, the answer program accepts the HTML data (including the answer contents and information on the selected game hall) that received the answer at that time, the questionnaire ID of the questionnaire, and the answer. The response mail including the member ID of the member player who has executed is sent to the mail address of the site server 14.

  The site server 14 that has received the answer mail analyzes the HTML data included in the received answer mail, identifies the answer contents to each question, which is the questionnaire contents, and the selected amusement hall name. The response information including the response content, the game hall name, and the questionnaire ID and member ID included in the received response mail is transmitted to the management server 140.

  The management server 140 that has received this answer information first determines whether or not the received questionnaire with the questionnaire ID is currently in implementation. At this time, if it is determined that it is not during the implementation period, the processing based on the reception of the response information is stopped, so that the received response information is not reflected in the aggregation result file or the like.

  In addition, when it is determined that the questionnaire of the received questionnaire ID is in the implementation period at that time, it is stored in the member information table by game hall in association with the member ID included in the received answer information. The number of target conditions of the member player is specified from the various attribute information of the member player and the questionnaire target condition of the questionnaire ID, and is associated with the questionnaire ID in the questionnaire table, The count result file and the number of responses corresponding to the number of target conditions are updated (add 1 for the number of responses).

  And after implementing this update, the magnitude of the degree of grant given to the answer to the questionnaire corresponding to the specified number of target conditions and the game hall (game hall name) included in the received answer information The member ID of the member player is specified, and a frequency assignment instruction including the specified degree of grant frequency and the member ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120 installed in the game hall, and The magnitude of the granted frequency included in the frequency grant instruction is updated to the magnitude of the given frequency corresponding to the questionnaire ID of the questionnaire that has been answered in the questionnaire table. Based on this frequency assignment instruction, as shown in FIG. 16, the member management computer 120 sets the new grant frequency stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID included in the received frequency assignment instruction. The addition frequency is added by updating the addition frequency included in the frequency assignment instruction.

  Next, a flow in which the grant frequency given in each game hall is used in the card unit 3 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 14 and 16.

  When a member player who has responded to the questionnaire as described above comes to the game hall and inserts a member card into the member card insertion slot 309 of the card unit 3, the card reader / writer 327 removes the inserted member card from the inserted member card. When the recorded information including the member ID is read and output to the control unit 328, the control unit 328 determines that a new member card has been received, and has read the newly received member card from the newly received member card. A member card acceptance notification including the member ID and the device ID assigned so that the card unit 3 can be individually specified is transmitted to the member management computer 120.

  Based on the reception of the member card acceptance notification, the CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 adds a predetermined visit point to the store points stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID included in the received member card acceptance notification. Is updated only once in a day, and the member information table is checked to determine whether or not there is a frequency in the new grant frequency corresponding to the member ID.

  In the confirmation, when there is a frequency in the new grant frequency corresponding to the received member ID, the magnitude of the new grant frequency is added to the size of the possession frequency, and the magnitude of the added new grant frequency and after the addition The frequency information including the magnitude of the possession frequency is returned (transmitted) to the card unit 3 that has transmitted the membership card acceptance notification. In the confirmation, when there is no frequency in the newly granted frequency and there is an ownership frequency, the frequency information including the size of the ownership frequency is returned (transmitted) to the card unit 3, and the above-described new When both the grant frequency and the possession frequency do not exist, a member card take-in response indicating that both the frequencies do not exist is returned.

  Based on the reception of the frequency information, the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 is included in the received frequency information together with the remaining card amount corresponding to the card frequency read from the accepted member card, as shown in FIG. By displaying on the display unit 312 a game selection accepting screen including a message notifying that the size of the newly granted frequency has been added to the size of the possessed frequency and a selection menu for selecting three game methods. In addition to notifying the member player that there has been a grant frequency by answering the questionnaire and that the size of the grant frequency added has been added to the size of the possession frequency, Accept the selection from member players. When frequency information including only the degree of ownership is received from the member management computer 120, there is no message for notifying that the newly granted frequency has been added to the ownership frequency, but only the magnitude of the ownership frequency. When the game selection accepting screen is displayed, and when a member card capture response is received from the member management computer 120, the above-mentioned message of addition of new grants and the size of possession is not included. Then, a game selection accepting screen that does not have an item for use of questionnaire granting frequency to be described later is displayed.

  In this embodiment, as these game methods, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the normal frequency use item for playing a game using the card frequency read from the accepted membership card and the answer to the questionnaire are given. There are provided an item for using a questionnaire giving power level for playing a game using the ownership level owned by a member player, and an item for saving ball replay for playing a game using the number of saving balls.

  In this game selection acceptance screen, when the member player selects the item for normal frequency use, as shown in FIG. 14 (d), a normal lending screen for displaying the remaining card amount corresponding to the card frequency is displayed. When the card frequency lending process is displayed on the unit 312 and the card frequency lending process is performed, a game using the card frequency becomes possible.

  In addition, when an item for saving ball replay is selected on the game selection accepting screen, a game using the number of saving balls becomes possible by performing the above-described payout process. Specifically, based on the item selection for replaying the stored ball, the control unit 328 displays the password number accepting screen on the display unit 312 as shown in FIG. At the same time, a stored ball extraction request including the received personal identification number, member ID, and device ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120.

  Based on the reception of the storage ball extraction request, the member management computer 120 obtains the personal identification number stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID included in the storage ball extraction request and the personal identification number included in the storage ball extraction request. The number of savings balls registered in correspondence with the membership card ID included in the savings card extraction request by performing an authentication process permitting the use of the membership card when both PINs match in the matching Is extracted and returned to the control unit 328 of the card unit 3.

  Based on the return of the number of saving balls, the control unit 328 calculates the number of replays corresponding to the returned number of saving balls, and displays the calculated number of replays and the number of saving balls on the display unit 312 ( FIG. 14 (c)).

  When the member player operates the replay button 319 at this stage, the pachinko ball is paid out (paid out) from the corresponding pachinko machine 2 in the case where the number of replays exists, The player can use the number of saved balls once acquired in the game again for the game.

  On the other hand, when the item for using the questionnaire grant frequency is selected on the game selection acceptance screen, as shown in 14 (e), the questionnaire grant frequency use screen displaying the ownership frequency is displayed and the above-mentioned questionnaire grant is displayed. Frequency loan processing is implemented. Specifically, the card unit 3 responds when the member player operates the lending selection input section displayed on the questionnaire grant frequency use screen or the lending button provided on the pachinko machine 2 (not shown). The pachinko balls are paid out from the pachinko machine 2 to be operated.

  Then, as the pachinko ball is paid out, the control unit 328 subtracts the usage frequency used in the questionnaire grant frequency lending process from the ownership frequency displayed on the display unit 312 as shown in 14 (f). In addition to updating, a questionnaire frequency usage notification including the usage frequency and the member ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120.

  The CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 that has received this questionnaire frequency use notification adds and updates the usage frequency to the usage frequency stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID included in the received questionnaire frequency usage notification, By subtracting and updating the usage count from the ownership count stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID, the usage management count and the usage count are managed by the member management computer 120.

  Then, the CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 totals the usage counts of all the member players stored and managed in these member information tables at the end of the business, and payment request information including the total usage count and the game hall ID that have been tabulated. Is transmitted to the management server 140, and the usage count of the member information table is reset.

  Based on the reception of the payment request information transmitted in this manner, the CPU 142 of the management server 140 determines the amount of total usage included in the payment request information transmitted from the member management computer 120 of each game hall. By adding and updating to the total number of billing frequencies stored in the game hall information table corresponding to the game hall ID included in the payment request information, it is possible to determine the number of grant frequencies given to each game hall and used for the game. The total size is memorized and managed, and the payment corresponding to the sum of the billing frequency is paid to each amusement center by the questionnaire accepting company. The

  Next, in the questionnaire table, a description will be given of a flow in which an aggregation result, which is an answer result of each questionnaire, is transmitted to each questionnaire requester. The management server 140 is configured so that each management server 140 performs each predetermined period, for example, every week. Corresponding to the questionnaire, the total result for each target condition is read from the total result file for each target condition specified from the path data stored in the total result file path item of the questionnaire table, and the total is read The client table (not shown) is associated with a client ID included in the questionnaire ID and a questionnaire result mail, which is an electronic mail of a questionnaire result (total result) including a total result for each target condition read from the result file. ) To the email address stored in The client of the personal computer 15, which is a questionnaire client who has received the e-mail, as shown in FIG. 20, aggregate the results of the questionnaire, which was requested by the receiving e-mail is displayed.

  In this questionnaire result mail, as shown in FIG. 20, the contents of the conducted questionnaire, specifically, questionnaire ID, client ID, questionnaire implementation period, questionnaire name, questionnaire target condition (target condition 1 , Target condition 2 and target condition 3) are displayed, and the total number of questionnaires transmitted for each target condition number based on the total result file for each target condition (total number of transmissions for the corresponding target condition 1) , Applicable target condition 2 total number of transmissions, applicable target condition 3 total number of transmissions) and total number of questionnaires answered to questionnaire contents for each target condition number (applicable target condition 1 total number of responses, applicable target condition 2 total number of responses) , Applicable target condition 3 total number of responses) and the response rate that is the ratio of the total number of questionnaire responses to the total number of questionnaire transmissions (applicable target condition 1 response rate, applicable target condition 2 responses) , The hit condition 3 response rate) have been included, the survey requester, the response rate to the questionnaire, so that can be grasped by the target conditions of membership the player who has conducted a questionnaire. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, the questionnaire result mail includes the total number of questionnaires that is the sum of the total number of transmissions of the corresponding target condition 1, the total number of transmissions of the corresponding target condition 2, and the total number of transmissions of the corresponding target condition 3. Applicable condition 1 Total number of responses, Applicable condition 2 Total number of responses, Applicable condition 3 Total number of responses, and total response that is the ratio of the total number of responses to the total number of questionnaires sent The rate is also included.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, the questionnaire result e-mail indicates the number of responses for each target condition and the total number of responses based on the total result file for each target condition, for each question as the questionnaire contents of the questionnaire. Each type (“Yes”, “No”, or “No response”) is included, and the survey requester can determine the overall response status and trend for each question, It becomes possible to easily grasp whether or not there is a specific tendency in the answer status to each question. In addition, a graph of the questionnaire total result is attached to the questionnaire result mail to be transmitted, and the attached graph is displayed by inputting a “graph display” selection input portion on the screen. It is like that.

  As described above, according to the management server 140 and the site server 14 serving as the store management apparatus of the above-described embodiment, the questionnaire contents can be displayed on the questionnaire receiving page transmitted from the site server 14 serving as the assigned value setting means. In response to the answer, the member game responding is the magnitude of the grant frequency 1, grant frequency 2, and grant frequency 3 corresponding to the number of target conditions satisfied by the member player who answered the questionnaire that is a valuable value given to the member player. It is set so as to increase gradually according to the number of target conditions satisfied by the person, that is, the grant frequency 1 <the grant frequency 2 <the grant frequency 3 and is advantageous according to the set target conditions ( A game history confirmation page including a questionnaire message serving as the value-of-grant value information indicating that the degree of grant frequency is given by a questionnaire response; Kate mail is distributed and notified to the notebook personal computer 4 which is the information terminal of the member player, and the distribution contents of the questionnaire scheduled to be distributed when the answer is given is the questionnaire distribution means. Is distributed from the site server 14 (which is distributed together with the questionnaire email in the case of a questionnaire email), and can be differentiated according to the number of target conditions to be satisfied.
