BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a recirculation type prize distribution management system such as a prize in a game arcade, and more particularly to a prize for a game machine such as a pachinko machine or a pachislot machine.
The present invention relates to a prize distribution management system in a three-site recirculation mode using a prize replacement card such as a magnetic card or an IC card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a game arcade (hereinafter referred to as a game arcade base) that provides entertainment services such as pachinko parlors,
A lending ball or coin lending to a customer (hereinafter referred to as a player), the player uses the gaming machine using the lending ball or the like, and the game center provides the resulting winning ball or the like to the tobacco store. We exchanged for prizes such as sweets. Also, unlike such practical prizes, they can be replaced with specific prizes (hereinafter referred to as reflux-type prizes) such as mechanical pencil cores and lighter stones.
In some cases, they bring them to the nearest purchase place (hereinafter referred to as a purchase base) so that they can be purchased with cash. However, such a prize such as a mechanical pencil lead has problems such as being bulky and a player not actually using the system to accurately return to the inside of the system. Patent No. 2755930
(Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 9-135957) proposes a free-flow prize using a magnetic card or an IC card.

FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing a prize distribution management system according to the four-site recirculation system disclosed in the above publication. As shown in the figure, the card supply management base 110 sells the returned prizes together with the newly issued prizes to the wholesale base 120, and the wholesale base 120 distributes the purchased prizes to a game center base 130 such as a pachinko parlor. To wholesale.
The amusement arcade base 130 exchanges a predetermined number of winning balls and winning coins obtained by the player 150 with the above-mentioned recirculation type prize, and the player 1
50 can bring the prize to the purchase base 140 so that the prize can be purchased. Purchase base 1
40 can resell the purchased prize to the wholesale base 120, and the prize purchased at the wholesale base 120 is finally collected by the card supply management base 110,
The returned card is checked for damage or forged cards. As described above, in the related art, the prize flows to the four locations. At each base, a reader / writer for reading and writing the stored contents of the premium substitute card is installed,
Each time the vehicle passes through each site, its own site passing data is recorded, and the preceding stage site passing data is confirmed, so that the card is properly distributed.

[0004]

However, such a prize distribution management system based on a four-site recirculation system includes:
There are various problems as described below.

FIG. 14 is a block diagram for explaining the number of prizes flowing between the respective sites. As shown in the figure, for example, one card supply management base is set up in each prefecture, and there is usually one purchase base for one game center. In addition, one wholesale base is usually 1
There are about 00 game center locations, and it is thought that there are about 10 such wholesale locations. In that case, the number of prizes used on average at one amusement arcade base per day is 20
Assuming 00 cards, the card supply base is 2000 × 100
A huge number of prizes, such as × 10 = 200 (10,000 copies), will be recirculated. Therefore, it is practically difficult to deliver and manage such a large amount of premiums at the card supply management base. In particular, it is impossible to pass each prize substitute card through a reader / writer. That is,
The card supply management base 110 confirms and initializes the collected cards with the collected data recorded at the time of passing through the purchase base, and additionally performs a process of recording the number of times of initialization on the cards. However, as the number of cards increases, it is becoming difficult to perform these processes on each card.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, since the authenticity of a card at the time of purchase or the like is conventionally determined by real-time communication, for example, when a game center is closed (11:00 pm in a pachinko hall). Since prizes are purchased at the same time at each store, each game center base 1
There is also a problem that a communication line connecting the card 30 and the card supply management base 110 is punctured.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a prize distribution management system based on a three-point recirculation system that can reduce the burden of prize management at a card supply management point.

[0008]

In order to achieve such an object, a prize distribution management system according to the present invention, which uses a three-site recirculation system, includes a prize substitute card for storing and holding ticket type data indicating a predetermined amount. Card supply management base to supply,
A wholesale base that wholesales the prize substitute card purchased from the card supply management base and the returned prize substitute card, and a base that provides an entertainment service using a game machine, wherein the prize substitute card is a wholesale base. A game center where a predetermined number of winning balls obtained by the player by using the gaming machine are exchanged for the prize replacement card, and a prize replacement card exchanged by the player, the prize replacement card By purchasing according to the ticket type data recorded in and resale to the wholesale base,
It consists of a purchase base that returns the premium replacement card,
The card supply management base, the prize replacement card at the wholesale base, receipt information and exit information of the prize substitution card, the prize substitution card storage information and payout information at the game center, and the prize substitution at the purchase base It manages card purchase information and exit information, and the prize substitute card returns only to three bases including the wholesale base, the game center base, and the purchase base.

Further, the present invention includes the following configuration as another embodiment. That is, the premium substitute card stores and holds renewal information composed of predetermined data, and the wholesale base reads the renewal information of the returned premium substitute card based on an instruction of the card supply management base, This information is rewritten with information different from the one read. The card supply management base provides authentication information of the premium substitute card to other bases, and the wholesale base, the game center base, and the purchase base are based on authentication information provided from the card supply management base. Based on this, the authenticity of the carried-in premium substitute card is determined. The wholesale base, the amusement arcade base and the purchase base store and hold the authentication information batch-transmitted from the card supply management base, and use the authenticity information to determine whether or not the prize replacement card is carried in. Then, the result of the authenticity judgment is transmitted collectively to the card supply management base. The wholesale base, the amusement arcade base and the purchase base make an inquiry to the card supply management base every time the premium substitute card is carried in, and judge the authenticity of the premium substitute card in real time. Each of the bases includes a reader / writer for reading information from the premium substitute card and writing information to the premium substitute card. The reader / writer includes a security access module for mutually authenticating whether or not the reader / writer and the premium substitute card are genuine.

[0010] Therefore, with such a configuration, the present invention enables a prize distribution management system in a three-point recirculation mode, in which the card supply management base manages the distribution of all cards. In addition, since only a new premium is issued at the card supply management base, it is not necessary to perform the task of entering and exiting the free premium as in the related art, and the delivery cost of the premium replacement card can be reduced. In addition, since the return prizes are constantly flowing between the three locations, the total number of prizes to be distributed can be smaller than before. Further, by performing data management at the card supply management base, it is possible to maintain the same security capability as in the case of four bases. Furthermore, by transmitting data such as authentication information, payout information, and purchase information all at once, communication costs can be reduced and authentication can be speeded up.

[0011]

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the configuration of the present system is the same as that of the above-described conventional example, and the card supply management base 10, the wholesale base 20, and the game center 30
And a purchase base 40. The player 50 purchases the prize substitution card exchanged at the game center 30 and purchases the card at the purchase base 4.
You can get them to buy at zero. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, unlike the conventional example, the card supply management base 10 issues only a new prize, and the return prize returns only the three bases of the wholesale base 20, the game center 30 and the purchase base 40. As a result, a huge number of prizes are transferred to the card supply management base 1
The labor and cost for delivery to 0 can be reduced. Further, the card supply management base 10 manages all cards flowing to each base, and checks authenticity information, renewal information, and card location for checking whether or not a legitimate card is circulating at each base. The management of. Details will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining data communication according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, in order to solve the problem in the conventional example, data such as authentication information is collectively transmitted to each site and stored in the storage device of each site, and the authentication judgment is performed for each site. I made it possible. Therefore, every time a new card is brought in, it is not necessary to inquire the card supply management base 10 one by one. In addition, by transmitting the result of the authenticity judgment to the card supply management base 10 in a lump during idle time after closing the store (nighttime batch processing), a large amount of data can be transmitted through a small number of communication lines, thereby reducing communication costs. Also. Note that the communication line may be a wired line or a wireless line such as a PHS. If a prize is brought in from another game center (a base other than the game center 30), the purchase base 4
Since 0 is not notified of the genuineness information of the prize, an inquiry is made to the card supply management base 10 by real-time communication to determine authenticity. In this case, the purchase or rejection of the purchase is made in accordance with an instruction from the card supply management base 10.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the details of the prize distribution management system according to the three-site return mode shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the card supply management base 10 includes a management computer 11 and a delivery machine 12. Wholesale base 2
Numeral 0 includes a computer 21, a storage machine 22, a storage machine 23, and a receiving machine 24. The game center 30 includes a computer 31, a storage machine 32, and a payout machine 33. The purchase base 40 includes a counting machine 41. In this way, the cards at each location are centrally managed by the card supply management location 10. That is, the computers (management computer 11, computers 21, 3) installed at each site
1 and the tallying machine 41) are connected to each other via a network, and authenticity information, receipt information, delivery information, purchase information, and payout information are transmitted and received via the network. Is managed collectively. As a result, it is possible to easily manage the flow of cards and payments at each site and the status of settlement, and to easily realize a prize distribution management system based on a three-site return configuration.

The cards distributed between the respective bases are conveyed by a usual distribution system, and the cards are carried by the player 50 from the game base 30 to the purchase base 40. The card brought into the purchase base 40 is manually set in the counting machine 41, and the card information is read and packed. The value of the purchased card is paid to the player 50 by hand. Of course, by installing an automatic cash dispenser, the card may be purchased and paid without any manual operation.

Here, an outline of the operation of the present system will be described. FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation of the prize distribution management system according to the three-site return mode shown in FIG. First, upon receiving an order from the wholesale base 20, the management computer 11 in the card supply management base 10 stores and seals a predetermined number of cards purchased from the manufacturer in a packing box (not shown) by the unloading machine 12. Pack.

The prize substitute card is used as a prize instead of the above-mentioned mechanical pencil lead or the like, and its card format is as shown in FIG. Ticket type data indicating the frequency of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, etc., the base code which is the code of the base that passed, the card serial number which is a serial number uniquely assigned to each card, and the purchase Activity indicating yes or no
Inactive data and renewal information composed of predetermined data (for example, numerical data appropriately changed at the wholesale base 20, data indicating the update date or time of the card information, the number of return times indicating the number of times the three bases were returned, etc.) Any one or a combination thereof). The active / inactive data is usually set to inactive, activated by the dispensing machine 33 when the game is normally paid out at the game center 30, and becomes inactive again when the card is collected by the counting machine 41. Is done. That is, the information is for preventing the purchased card from being purchased again at the purchase base. Further, the renewal information is information for checking whether or not the card has been returned normally, and it is also possible to know the discarding time of the card based on this information. The prize substitute card may be a card in which ticket type data is stored and held in advance and a frequency corresponding to the ticket type data is printed on the surface thereof, or the frequency is usually not printed, and the ticket issuance is not performed. At the time, etc., writing of the denomination data and printing of the frequency may be performed.

At the same time as each base leaves the prize substitute card, it notifies the management computer 11 in the card supply management base 10 of the authentication information shown in FIG. The authenticity information is data used to determine the authenticity of the prize to be delivered, and includes ticket type data, base data, a card serial number, and active / inactive data. In the above description, information about all the cards is notified from the card supply management base 10 to each base as authenticity information.
Only the information on the unauthorized card grasped in the above may be notified to each site as the authentication information. By doing so, the information amount of the authentication information notified to each site can be reduced, which is effective for shortening the communication time and reducing the communication cost.

The packing boxes received at the wholesale base 20 are:
The card is opened and the serial number of each card is read by the storage device 22. At this time, the authenticity is determined by comparing whether the authentication information received by the computer 21 in advance matches the card serial number read by the storage device 22. If they do not match, it means that the wrong packing box has been received, and the packing box is sent back to the card supply management base 10. When they match, the card information in the received packing box is notified to the card supply management base 10 as the receipt information (in this case, at least the card serial number may be notified). As a result, the card supply management base 10 can confirm that the packing box has arrived at the wholesale base 20 and can recognize that the card has moved to the wholesale base 20.

After that, at the wholesale base 20, the card opened from the packing box is sent to the unloading machine 23, and the unloading machine 23 writes the base passage data on the card, packs it again in the packing box, and ships it to the game center base 30. I do. Also, the card serial number is transmitted to the card supply management base 10 as the exit information at the same time as the exit. The card supply management base 10 transmits the authentication information to the gaming base 30 based on the received delivery information.

The packing box stored in the game center 30 is opened in the same manner as the wholesale base 20, and then the card information is read by the storage machine 32, and the computer 3
1 is transmitted to the card supply management base 10 as entry information. Thereafter, the premium substitute card is loaded into the payout machine 33 and paid out in response to a request from the player. At that time, the payout machine 33 compares the authenticity information received in advance with the information recorded on the card to determine the authenticity, and only the valid card is paid out to the player 50, which may cause forgery or the like. The defective card is stored in a predetermined storage unit (not shown). Data such as the serial number of the paid out card is transmitted to the card supply management base 10 by the computer 31 as payout information.

The player 50 can bring the acquired card to the purchase base 40 for purchase. The card brought to the purchase base 40 is a tallying machine 41
The ticket information is counted and authenticated, and the purchase information obtained as a result is collectively transmitted to the management computer 11 during an idle time such as after the store is closed (nighttime batch processing). The aggregated cards are resold to the wholesale base 20, and the wholesale base 20 collects the purchased cards by the accepting machine 24, checks the number of circulations, the damage state of the cards, etc., and issues the goods if they can be reused. To the machine 23 for reuse. Further, a renewal process is performed at the wholesale base 20. That is, when the recirculation number is used as renewal information, the recirculation number of each card is incremented by “1” before packing.

As described above, the prize substitute card according to the present embodiment flows between the wholesale base 20, the game center base 30, and the purchase base 40, and the card supply management base 10
Although the prize replacement card does not return, it is possible to accurately grasp the circulation state of the card based on various information (incoming information, outgoing information, payout information and purchase information) obtained at each base. it can.
