[Action]
The game terminal device that issued the prepaid card stores the ticketing information in the device, and the game terminal device that accepts the prepaid card receives a predetermined reception under the control of its own device or another game terminal device. Each gaming terminal device that performs processing appropriately transfers data related to the processing content of its own device, such as the number of prepaid cards issued, the number of prepaid cards received, and the payment amount for the received prepaid card, to the control device. Send. If the above transmission process cannot be executed for a certain period of time or a certain number of times due to some reason such as disconnection of the communication line, the game terminal device performs normal processing (card issuance or card issuance) for the prepaid card while retaining the untransmitted data. The reception) cannot be performed and the operation becomes inoperable. After that, when the state returns to the state where the data can be transmitted to the control device, the held untransmitted data is transmitted to the control device and then returns to the normal processing.
請求項２の発明では、制御装置が各遊技用端末装置から受信したデータを外部の管理装置に送信する場合に、そのデータ送信が不可能な状態が一定時間もしくは一定回数持続したとき、未送信データを保持したまま各遊技用端末装置との通信が不可能な動作不可能状態になる。このように制御装置が動作不可能状態になると、各遊技用端末装置も制御装置にデータを送信できない状態になるので、同様に動作不可能状態になる。よって、遊技場サイドで管理されていない状態下でシステムを運営することは不可能となる。 In the invention of claim 2, when the control device transmits the data received from each game terminal device to the external management device, the data can not be transmitted when the state in which the data cannot be transmitted continues for a certain period of time or a certain number of times, the data is not transmitted. It becomes an inoperable state in which communication with each game terminal device is impossible while retaining the data. When the control device becomes inoperable in this way, each game terminal device also becomes inoperable because data cannot be transmitted to the control device. Therefore, it is impossible to operate the system without being managed by the amusement park side.
受信データ蓄積部３３、および送信ファイル記憶部３４は、いずれもフラッシュメモリにより構成される。受信データ蓄積部３３は、各端末装置１からの送信情報を、図４に示すようなデータ形式により、項目毎、日毎に個別に記憶する。ＣＰＵ３０は、必要に応じて、データ蓄積部３３から各項目毎に所定の日にかかる会計データを取り出して集計する。送信ファイルは、この各項目の集計結果をまとめてファイル化したものであって、作成された送信ファイルは、管理装置６への送信が完了した後も所定期間送信ファイル記憶部３４に保持される。 The received data storage unit 33 and the transmission file storage unit 34 are both configured by a flash memory. The reception data storage unit 33 individually stores the transmission information from each terminal device 1 for each item and each day in the data format as shown in FIG. If necessary, the CPU 30 takes out the accounting data for each item from the data storage unit 33 and totals the accounting data for a predetermined day. The transmission file is a file obtained by collecting the aggregated results of each of the items, and the created transmission file is retained in the transmission file storage unit 34 for a predetermined period even after the transmission to the management device 6 is completed. ..
制御装置４よりアクセスがあると、ＣＰＵ１７は、つぎのＳＴ３で、データ蓄積部２０に未送信の会計データが存在するかどうかチェックする。例えば、回線のトラブルなどにより数日分の会計データの送信が不可能となっていた場合には、このＳＴ３が「ＹＥＳ」となり、続くＳＴ４で、未送信の会計データが送信される。 Upon access from the control device 4, the CPU 17 checks in the next ST3 whether or not untransmitted accounting data exists in the data storage unit 20. For example, if it is impossible to transmit accounting data for several days due to a line trouble or the like, this ST3 becomes "YES", and in the following ST4, untransmitted accounting data is transmitted.

【Effect of the invention】
In the invention of claim 1, when the state in which the data related to the processing contents of the prepaid card cannot be transmitted to the control device continues for a certain period of time or a certain number of times in the game terminal device, the untransmitted data is retained. Since the inoperable state in which the normal processing for the prepaid card cannot be executed is set, it is possible to prevent the gaming terminal device from operating in a state away from the control and being illegally operated. In addition, in order for the game terminal device that has become inoperable to return to normal processing, it is necessary to transmit untransmitted data to the control device, so check the operation details that occurred under the unmanaged state. It can be done and there is no operational problem.
請求項２の発明では、さらに制御装置が各遊技用端末装置から受信したデータを外部の管理装置に送信する場合に、そのデータ送信が不可能な状態が一定期間もしくは一定回数持続したとき、各遊技用端末装置との通信が不可能な動作不可能状態になるようにした。これにより、故意またはトラブルにより制御装置からのデータ送信がなされなくなっても、制御装置および各遊技用端末装置が動作不可能状態になるから、遊技場を管理装置の管轄から切り離して運営することは不可能になる。また、動作不可能状態になった制御装置が動作可能な状態に復帰するには、管理装置に未送信データを送信する必要があるから、管理されていない状態下の遊技場の運営状態を確認することも可能となり、不正やトラブルが発生しても、速やかに対応することができる。 In the invention of claim 2, when the control device further transmits the data received from each game terminal device to the external management device, when the state in which the data transmission is impossible continues for a certain period or a certain number of times, each The inoperable state is set so that communication with the game terminal device is impossible. As a result, even if data is not transmitted from the control device intentionally or due to trouble, the control device and each game terminal device become inoperable. Therefore, it is not possible to operate the game hall separately from the jurisdiction of the management device. It will be impossible. In addition, in order for the control device that has become inoperable to return to the operable state, it is necessary to transmit untransmitted data to the management device, so check the operating status of the amusement park under the unmanaged state. It is also possible to do so, and even if fraud or trouble occurs, it can be dealt with promptly.
また上記の発明では、データ送信が不可能になっても直ちに動作不可能状態にならないので、通信回線のトラブルなどによりデータ送信が一時的に不可能となっても、各遊技用端末装置を一定期間もしくは一定回数動作させて、通常処理を行わせることができる。よって、プリペイドカードの使用に支障を生じる虞がなく、遊技客とのトラブルをおこさずに、円滑にシステムを補修することが可能となる。 Further, in the above invention, even if data transmission becomes impossible, the operation is not immediately disabled. Therefore, even if data transmission becomes temporarily impossible due to a trouble in the communication line or the like, each game terminal device is fixed. It can be operated for a period of time or a certain number of times to perform normal processing. Therefore, there is no possibility that the use of the prepaid card will be hindered, and the system can be smoothly repaired without causing trouble with the player.
