The server device is provided with: a comparison data storage means (2 1 ) for memorizing attribute information for identifying attributes of the terminal device, hardware identification information (15) that is inherently assigned to the terminal device, The software assigned to the software of the terminal device -6 - 201125392 Other information (1 6 ) mutually corresponding correspondence data (2 3 ) • The comparison means (24) are respectively transmitted from the terminal device When the hardware identification information and the software identification information are used, referring to the comparison data, it is determined that the attribute information corresponding to the hardware identification information is consistent or inconsistent with the attribute information corresponding to the software identification information; and the comparison information transmission means (24) And transmitting, to the terminal device, a recognition information transmitting means (18) for the server device, And transmitting the hardware identification information and the software identification information; and the terminal operation control means (17), when the determination result transmitted from the comparison information transmission means is not uniform, restricting the operation of the terminal device more than when the ratio is the same . According to the present invention, when the terminal device transmits the hardware identification information and the software identification information to the server device, the server device determines the attribute information that is specified based on the hardware identification information and the attribute information that is specified based on the software identification information. Whether they are consistent or not, when the determination results are inconsistent, the operation of the terminal device is more restricted than when it is coincident. Therefore, it is possible to use the state of the terminal device in a state in which the attribute of the hardware of the terminal device does not match the attribute of the software of the terminal device, and the suppression effect is produced. Thereby, the terminal device can be guided so that the hardware and the software are used under the originally intended attributes, and the inconvenience in the operation or management inconvenience of the use of the terminal device can be reduced. In one aspect of the present invention, the server device may be provided with a service from the server device via the network; and the terminal operation control means may be installed from the server device 201125392 when the above-mentioned mismatch occurs. When the hardware of the service provided is the same as the object of the object, a limit is imposed on the servo. Thereby, an inhibitory effect is produced. Further, the foregoing is the activation identification information of the terminal device; when the foregoing is inconsistent, the operation of the end device may also identify the information and the software may respond to the determination result, thereby improving the operation of the present invention for commercial use, and different operations are not performed.

The game terminal 3 and the server 5 are communicably connected to each other via a network 6' such as the Internet. The game terminal 3 is a business game machine for the user 7 to allow the game to play according to the consumption of the fixed currency price. In the playground system 1, a system for providing various services to the operator 2 and the user 7 is also installed. For example, the user 8 is given a card 8 as a user identification means, and the card ID of the memory medium -11 - 201125392 (for example, a 1C wafer) recorded on the card 8 is used in the server 5 The user ID of the user 7 is identified to establish a correspondence, and the user 7 is identified to provide various services to the user 7. For example, when the user 7 causes the game terminal 3 to recognize the card ID of the card 8 and play the game, the game information including the game score or the like is generated in the game terminal 3, and the play information and the card ID are It is sent to the server 5, and its play material is associated with the user ID of the corresponding card ID and saved. The play data saved by the server 5 can also be utilized in the next play opportunity. For example, when the user 7 plays the same game again, the game terminal 3 can recognize the card ID of the card 8 before playing, and can save the game from the server 5 by associating with the user ID corresponding to the card ID. The data is read into the game terminal 3 for use. Alternatively, when the game is played between the game terminals 3 via the game play of the network 6, the user 7 is provided with the user 7 who has accessed the server 5 for a predetermined period of time and applied for a match. The user 7 establishes a corresponding game data saved by the user 7 to match the service of the opponent. For the operator 2', for example, the server 5 is provided with an update service of the computer program or material incorporated in the game terminal 3. The configuration of the game terminal 3 and the server 5 will be further described with reference to Fig. 2 . The control unit 1 is provided in the game terminal 3. The control unit 1 is a computer unit including a microprocessor, a program for recording a program to be executed by the microprocessor, and a computer unit for providing an internal memory device (not shown) such as a RAM for a work area of the microprocessor. . An external memory device 13 such as an input device 11, an output device 12, and a hard disk is connected to the control unit 10'. Input device 201125392 Set 11 to output the signal input means in response to the user's 7 operation content. The output device 12 includes a speaker that displays a monitor such as a game screen and a sound outputted. The external memory device 13 is a variety of materials (not shown) that the game program 14 and its program 14 executed by the control unit 10 are referred to. The internal memory device of the control unit 10 is provided with a rewritable non-volatile memory such as EEPRO, and an IP address 15 is recorded in its non-volatile memory system. The IP address 15 is hardware identification information that is inherently assigned to the game terminal 3 in order to univocally recognize the game terminal 3 in the casino system 1. The range of available IP addresses for each store. In the range in which the game terminal 3 is assigned to the shop of the game terminal 3, one IP address 15 is set at the time of setting of the game terminal 3. Furthermore, when the network 6 is a public network such as the Internet, a router is set between the game terminal 3 and the network 6 of each store, and the router is set to be unique on the network 6. Fixed address. The game terminal 3 is set as an IP address 15 by a combination of its fixed address and a private address for uniquely identifying the game terminal 3 on the network 6. On the other hand, the software identification code 16 is written in the game program 14. The software identification code 16 is a software identification information for identifying the details of the game program 14 such as the target region (the collection of countries or countries) of the game program 14 , the title of the game (the name of the game), and the version of the software. . In the case where the game program 3 is intended to be used in the country of the game, the language of the game program 14 is used in a language such as a screen display, and the area to be used by the game program 14 is used. That is, the target area of the game program 14 is the destination of the game program 14. IP address 15 and software identification -13- 201125392 Code 1 6 is associated with an area code for identifying the area in which the terminal device 3 should be used. The area code is equivalent to the attribute information for identifying the attribute of the terminal device 3. The area code is detailed later. The game program 14 of the external device 13 is read and executed by the control unit 10, and the game control unit 17 and the startup check unit 18 as logical devices are provided inside the control unit 10. The game control unit 17 follows various processes required for the game program 14 to execute the game play that is managed by the game terminal 3 to the start, end, and end of the game of the user 7, and the provider of the service received from the server 5. Need to deal with. The startup check unit 18 performs a startup check process using the IP address 15 and the software identification code 16 in cooperation with the server 5. The processing of the startup inspection unit 18 will be described in detail later. The server 5 is provided with a control unit 20 and an external memory device 21. The control unit 20 is provided with a microprocessor, a ROM for recording a program such as a work system to be executed by the microprocessor, and a computer unit for providing an internal memory device (not shown) such as a RAM for the work area of the microprocessor. The control unit 20 is connected to an input device such as a keyboard or an output device such as a monitor, but the illustration is omitted. The external memory device 2 1 is a variety of materials (not shown) that the server program 22 and its program 22 executed by the control unit 20 refer to. The external recording device 2 1, as one of the materials to be referred to by the control unit 20, is recorded with a code database (code DB) 23. The code DB 23 is equivalent to the comparison data in which the IP address, the software identification code, and the area code are associated with each other, and the details thereof will be described later. The server unit 22 of the external memory device 21 is read and executed by the control unit 20, and the service management unit 25 and the startup check unit 24 as the logic devices -14 - 201125392 are provided inside the control unit 20. The service management unit 25 manages the provision of various services for the game terminal 3 and the like. The startup check unit 24 performs a startup check process using the IP address 15 and the software identification code 16 in cooperation with the game terminal 3. The processing of the startup inspection unit 24 will be described in detail later. In addition to the illustrated logic device, various control devices may be provided to the control unit 10 of the game terminal 3 and the control unit 20 of the server 5 as needed. 3 and 4 disclose the code DB23 in detail. As shown in the figures, the code DB23 includes a plurality of tables TB1 to TB5. As shown in Fig. 3, the table TB1 is a material in which an IP address is associated with a shop code and described. The store code is a code uniquely attached to each store. That is, as described above, in the casino system 1, a range that can be set to the IP address of the game terminal 3 is defined in each store. The table TB 1 is set as a material for describing the correspondence between the IP addresses and the store. The table TB2 is a material that associates and stores the shop code with the country code. Country codes are uniquely attached to each country. Further, the table TB3 is a material that associates and describes the country code and the area code. The area code is used to identify the code of the area, and one area code corresponds to one or a plurality of country codes. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, the table TB4 is a data for identifying and describing the parent code and the area code. The identification parent code is the code contained in one part of the software identification code. The area code is as above. An example of the correspondence relationship between the codes shown in Figs. 3 and 4 is shown in Fig. 5. In the example of Fig. 5, the IP address 15 held by the game terminal 3 is an IPv4 protocol that is used in the Internet, and is described as a 32-bit code. In the example of Fig. 3 of -15-201125392, as the IP address 15, " 10.20.30.xxx" is set (however, X is an arbitrary natural number). On the other hand, in the software identification code system, "GSA 1 000" is set as an example. When the IP address 15 and the software identification code 16 are notified from the game terminal 3 to the server 5, the server 5 verifies the game terminal 3 based on the IP address 15 and the software identification code 16 as described below. The integration of the region and the target area of the game program 14 is set. First, with respect to the IP address 15, the IP address 15 is sequentially converted into a shop code and a country code using the tables TB1 and TB 2 described above. In the country code, such as Japan is "A", Hong Kong is "B", Singapore is "C", the United States is "D", the United Kingdom is "E", South Korea is "F", using letters, etc., setting each country unique The code. The country code and the area code are based on an appropriate distinction. For example, Japan's country code "A" alone corresponds to the area code "RG-A", Hong Kong's country code "B" and Singapore's country code "C" correspond to the regional code "RG-ASIA" representing the Asian region. 'The country code "D" of the United States is individually associated with the area code "RG-US". The country code "E" of the United Kingdom is individually associated with the area code "RG-GB". The country code "F" of Korea is separate from the area code. "RG-KR" establishes a correspondence. On the other hand, the software identification code 16 is associated with the identification of the parent code in a plurality of pairs. It is recognized that the parent code is the code of the object area and the title of the game for the same game program. For example, in the game program 14 of the specific title and the Japanese game area 14 as the target area, the same identification code is set regardless of the version of the program 14. In the example of Figure 5, the upper letter 3 of the software identification code is equivalent to the identification of the parent code. -16- 201125392 For example, “GSA 1 0 0 0” to “GSA 1 Ο Ο X ” (any X number) are provided with the same title assigned to the game and Japan is set as the target area. The software identification code of the game program 14 has the following five numbers indicating the version. On the other hand, the upper three character strings "GSA" of the software identification code are commonly set to the game program 14 in which the target area is Japanese and the title is common. The software identification code "GSB100Y" is the same as the title of the game. However, for the game program 1 for Hong Kong, the identification code is "GSB". The identification of the parent code is associated with any of the area codes. For example, the identification parent code "GSA" is associated with the area code "RG-JP". In addition, in FIG. 5, only the correspondence relationship between the area code "RG-JP" and "RG-ASIA" and the software identification code is illustrated, but even with respect to other area codes, the software identification code is similarly set. Correspondence between the two. According to the above relationship, in addition to the specific area code based on the IP address of the hardware identification information of the game terminal 3, the area code is specified based on the software identification code which is the software identification information inherent to the game program 14. By judging the agreement or the inconsistency of the two, it is possible to determine the integration of the installation area of the game terminal 3 with the target area of the game program 14. The comparison of the codes described above is performed by the activation check unit (hereinafter referred to as the terminal start check unit) 18 of the game terminal 3 and the start check unit (hereinafter referred to as the server start check unit) 24 of the server 5, respectively. The terminal startup check routine and the server startup check routine are shown. The details of the processing are as follows. -17- 201125392 First, when the game terminal 3 is powered on and the game program 14 is read by the control unit 1, the game terminal 3 starts the check-up routine of FIG. 6 as the required position at the start of the start. In the initial step S1 0 1 of the terminal start check routine, the terminal start check unit 18 requests the server 5 to initiate the check. The request includes an IP address 15 assigned to the game terminal 3 and a software identification code 16 written to the game program 14. When receiving the transmission from the game terminal 3, the server activation check unit 24 starts the server start check routine. In the initial step S 2 〇 1, the server activation check unit 24 acquires the data (including the IP address and the software identification code) included in the request sent from the game terminal 3. In the next step S2 02, the server startup check unit 24 sequentially acquires the country code corresponding to the IP address with reference to the tables TB1 and TB2' of Fig. 3 . In the next step S2 〇3, the server start detecting unit 24 sequentially acquires the area code corresponding to the software identification code with reference to the tables TB4 and TB5' of Fig. 4 . Thereafter, the server activation check unit 24 proceeds to step S204, and refers to the table TB3 of Fig. 3 to determine whether or not the country code acquired in step S2〇2 is associated with the area code acquired in step s2〇3. That is, in step S240, the IP address transmitted from the game terminal 3 is verified via the area code to be integrated with the software identification code. When the country code is associated with the area code in step S204, the server initiates the check. The department 24 proceeds to step S205 to recognize that the game terminal 3 is in a bootable state. On the other hand, when the country code does not correspond to the area code in step S2〇4, the server start check unit 24 proceeds to step S2 0 6 ' to recognize that the game terminal 3 is in an inactive state. After the processing of step s 2 0 5 or S206, the server startup check unit 24 proceeds to step S207, -18-201125392 to generate a response indicating that the game terminal 3 is bootable or unbootable, and transmits a response to the game terminal 3 . When the processing of step S2〇7 is completed, the server startup check unit 24 ends the server startup check routine of Fig. 6 . On the other hand, the terminal activation check unit 18 of the game terminal 3 proceeds to step S102 when it transmits a request in step S101, and determines whether or not a response from the server 5 has been received. When it is not received, the terminal startup check unit 18 proceeds to step S1 03 to determine whether or not the predetermined waiting time has elapsed after the transmission is requested. If the waiting time has not elapsed, the terminal startup checking unit 18 returns to the processing of step S102. When it is judged in step S102 that the response has been received, the terminal activation checking unit 18 proceeds to step S104 and acquires the content of the response from the server 5. In the next step S105, the terminal activation checking unit 18 determines whether the response from the servo 5 indicates that it is bootable. When it is bootable, the terminal startup check unit 8 proceeds to step S1 0 6. The game control unit 17 instructs the normal start of the game terminal 3, and ends the current terminal start check routine. At this time, the game terminal 3 is activated in a state in which the provision of various services from the server 5 is acceptable. On the other hand, when it is judged in step s 103 that the waiting time has elapsed, or when it is judged that the waiting time is not possible in step S105, the terminal activation checking unit 18 proceeds to step S1 07' to instruct the game control unit 7 to specify the error processing. . Thereafter, the terminal activation check unit 18 ends the current terminal start check routine. When the error processing is instructed in step S107, the game control unit 7 causes the game terminal 3 to stop the prohibition of the game-playing process including the subsequent game. Alternatively, the game control unit 17 may perform error processing, and the game terminal 3 may be activated while the connection to the network 6 is prohibited. In any case, the error handling system -19-201125392 can be based on the above processing as long as it imposes restrictions on at least a part of the action of the game terminal 3, in the IP address of the hardware that is inherently assigned to the gaming terminal 3, and When the software identification code inherent to the game program 14 installed in the software of the game terminal 3 is integrated, the service from the server 5 can be accepted, and when it is not integrated, the service to be provided from the server 5 cannot be utilized. At least part of it. For this reason, when the installation area of the game terminal 3 and the target area of the game program I4 are not integrated, it is possible to preclude the provision of uncomfortable service from the server 5. For example, even if the game terminal 3 is moved in an area different from the storage setting area, and the IP address of the new installation area is set in the game terminal 3, the game program 14 is not changed to the area in which the game program is installed. It will limit the use of the service. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the situation in which the game terminal 3 is brought to a different area from the original. In the above embodiment, the external device 2 1 of the server 5 functions as a comparison data storage means, and the activation check unit 24 of the server 5 performs the processing of steps S202 to S206 of FIG. 6 as a comparison means. The activation check unit 24 functions as a comparison information transmitting means by executing the processing of step S207, and the activation check unit 18 of the game terminal 3 performs the processing of the identification information by executing the processing of step S1 0 1 of FIG. By the means, the game control unit 17 controls the operation of the game terminal 3 by receiving an instruction from step S106 or S107 of Fig. 6, and functions as a terminal operation control means. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented in an appropriate form. For example, in the above-described embodiment, IP bit -20-201125392 is used as the hardware identification information, but 'as long as it is inherently set in the terminal device. , can be used to identify information and use it. As the hardware identification information, it is also possible to use the MAC address of the network device or the like, and when a unique number or code is attached to the micro unit of the control unit, it may be used as hardware identification information. The area code as the attribute information is not limited to an example of a collection attached to a single country or each plural country, and is uniquely attached to each of the subtle regions of the country. The attribute information is not limited to the area code, the age level or gender of the terminal device, and the type of facility or environment (for example, commercial facilities, public, workplace, family, etc.) of the terminal device. It is also possible to establish an association and set up a newsletter. The terminal device is not limited to the game terminal, and the device object may be adapted. For example, the device of the sports facility is a terminal device, a mobile terminal such as a personal computer or a mobile phone, and the like, and various terminal devices can be targeted as long as they are connectable. Therefore, the network of the present invention is not limited to the example constructed as a playground system. Hardware identification information The association between the body recognition information and the attribute information is not limited to the form shown in Figs. 3 and S, and may be changed as long as it is a form in which the attribute information can be specified based on the hardware identification information and the software identification.
