Description

  The present invention relates to a game media count display device that can collect indirect tax when exchanging prizes by counting in consideration of indirect tax amount when counting game media such as pachinko balls. .

  It is necessary to collect consumption tax as an indirect tax at so-called pachinko parlors, but various methods have been proposed for the collection, and the actual handling of pachinko parlors is not uniform. Is the current situation.

  For example, as a method of collecting consumption tax, by installing a card reading machine adjacent to the pachinko machine, inserting a card and cash into the reading machine, and recording valuable value information obtained by subtracting the indirect tax amount from the input amount on the card A system for collecting indirect tax has been proposed (Patent Document 1). Further, the document 1 proposes collecting an indirect tax-acquiring ball at the time of prize exchange.

  In addition, a game media lending machine adjacent to a pachinko machine is proposed that collects consumption tax at the time of purchase of the game media and informs the player of the number of balls paid out by displaying the game value and consumption tax separately. (Patent Document 2).

  In addition, a pachinko ball counting device has been proposed in which the number of pachinko balls counted is printed on a receipt or displayed on display means (Patent Documents 3 and 4).

JP 2002-123651 A (refer to “0017” column, “0024” column, “0053” column, FIGS. 1 to 4) JP-A-11-267343 ("0020" column, FIGS. 1 and 4) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-163676 JP 59-218176 A

  By the way, since the conventional devices (Patent Documents 1 and 2) both collect consumption tax at the time of renting out game media, all such devices in the game hall can be applied to game facilities. Many ball lending machines provided in the pachinko machine must be changed to a consumption tax collection system, and the cost becomes enormous.

  Moreover, although the said patent document 1 has disclosed that the acquisition ball | bowl for a consumption tax is collected at the time of prize exchange ("0053" column), the specific structure is not disclosed.

  Moreover, although the number of pachinko balls is displayed in the devices of Patent Documents 3 and 4, a configuration for collecting an indirect tax when exchanging premiums is not disclosed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art, and allows the indirect tax to be collected at the time of exchanging prizes. In addition, the game media count display that can be introduced at low cost in existing game facilities. An object is to provide an apparatus.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention

In addition, it is possible to realize a counting display device capable of displaying the number of taxable game media and the number of indirect tax equivalents corresponding to the total number of game media on the display unit (3b). Further, the tax game media number and the indirect tax equivalent number may be displayed on one display means (for example, the count data display unit (9)). With such a device, for example, at the time of game media counting at the time of prize exchange at a game facility such as a pachinko, it is possible to collect the indirect tax earned balls, and display both the number of taxable game media and the number equivalent to indirect tax Can do.

FIG. Here, first, an existing counter 2 'that does not have the configuration of the detection pulse generator section 6 will be described with reference to FIG.

(1-1) About the existing counter 2 ′ (FIG. 2)
In the counter 2 ′, reference numeral 5 denotes a pachinko ball counting sensor (game medium detecting means) comprising a light projecting unit 5a and a light receiving unit 5b, and the light receiving unit 5b is always a sensor from the light projecting unit 5a. The pachinko ball is detected based on the interception of the sensor light caused by the passage of the pachinko ball, and a detection pulse signal (rectangular pulse signal) (detection signal) a corresponding to the detection (FIG. 11 ( 1) is output to the signal line L1. That is, the light receiving unit 5b outputs a detection pulse signal a having the number of pulses corresponding to the number of pachinko balls (for example, one pachinko ball corresponds to one pulse of a square pulse signal) to the signal line L1.

  In the counting unit 7 (game medium number display means), 8 is a detection pulse signal counting unit, which sequentially counts the detection pulse signal a input from the signal line L1 and outputs the count value to the display control unit 9a. It is. The display control unit 9a changes the count value to numeric data and sends the numeric data to the count data display unit 9.

  Reference numeral 9 denotes a count data display unit composed of a liquid crystal panel or the like, which displays numeric data (count value) sequentially input from the display control unit 9a as numbers. Therefore, the number of pachinko balls detected by the counting sensor 5 is sequentially displayed in real time as 1, 2, 3,.

  Reference numeral 10 denotes a receipt issuing button. When the “all” button 10 a is pressed after the counting is completed, a receipt issuing signal is sent to the receipt issuing unit 11.

  Reference numeral 11 denotes a receipt issuing unit, which receives a final count value from the counting unit 8 and issues a receipt R printed with the count value when the receipt issuing signal is input.

  When the “remaining return” button 10b of the receipt issue button 10 is pressed, a pachinko ball that is a fraction is returned from a pachinko ball return unit (not shown).

(1-2) Counter 2 according to the present invention (FIG. 1)
Next, the structure which concerns on this invention regarding the said counter 2 is demonstrated. The counter 2 is a signal that connects between the counting sensor (game medium detecting means) 5 and the detection pulse signal counting section 8 of the counting section (game medium number display means) 7 in the existing counter 2 ′ as described above. A counting pulse generator section (counting means) 6 is connected in the middle of the line L1, and the receipt issuing signal based on the pressing of the “all” button 10a of the receipt issuing button 10 is sent to the consumption tax indicator 3 and the above. Signal lines L2 and L3 are added so that they can be input to the pulse generator section 6.

  The pulse generator unit 6 is configured as shown in FIG. In this figure, the pulse generator 6 performs various operations in accordance with the RAM 11 in which the programs shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 are stored and the above programs, and receives the detection pulse signal a from the counting sensor 5. The CPU 12 that receives and counts the pulse by the built-in counting counter 12a, and the counting sensor 5 are connected via the signal line L1, and send the detection pulse signal (detection signal) a to the CPU 12. / O port 13, an I / O port that receives the detection pulse signal (square pulse signal) b (FIG. 11 (3)) from which the consumption tax has been cut by the arithmetic processing of the CPU 12 and sends it to the detection pulse signal count unit 8 14. By the processing of the CPU 12, the number of pulse signals (square pulse signals) c corresponding to the consumption tax from the CPU 12 (FIG. 11). 4)), the I / O port 15 to be sent to the consumption tax indicator 3 and the receipt issue detection circuit 16 to detect that the receipt issue signal has been input and to send a reset signal to the CPU 12 are configured. ing.

  The CPU 12 reads the consumption tax rate data A (for example, A = 5 [%]) stored in the RAM 11 in advance, and the reference value X = 100 / A (X = 20 when A = 5 [%]). Processing is performed to store the reference value X in the RAM 11. When the detection pulse signal a is input from the counting sensor 5, the detection pulse signal a is output to the I / O port 14, and the detection pulse signal is counted up by the built-in counting counter 12a. Each time the count value becomes equal to the reference value X, the detection pulse signal output to the I / O port 14 is cut by one pulse (one square pulse signal corresponding to one game medium), and thereafter The process of sequentially outputting the detection pulse signal input to the I / O port 14 is repeated. Further, each time the count value becomes equal to the reference value X, the CPU 12 sends a pulse signal for one pulse (a square pulse signal corresponding to one game medium) c (see FIG. 11 (4)) to the I / O. Processing to output to the port 15 is performed. The CPU 12 performs a process of resetting the count counter 12a to zero based on the input of a reset signal from the receipt issue detection circuit 16. In addition, the flow of the detection pulse signal of the existing counter 2 'is shown as L1' in FIG.

  The CPU 12 can be configured by, for example, the functional blocks shown in FIG. In the figure, 12a counts the detection pulse signal a from the counting sensor 5, outputs the detection pulse signal a as it is (FIG. 11 (1)), and also outputs a count value to the comparison means 12c (counter means ( (Counting counter), 12b is a computing means for computing the reference value X based on the consumption tax rate A sent from the consumption tax indicator 3, and 12c is computed by the count value from the counter means 12a and the computing means 12b. Each time the count value reaches the reference value X, that is, every time the number of square pulses of the detection pulse signal a reaches the reference value (= 20) (in the example of FIG. 11, the detection pulse signal Comparing means 12d for sending a coincidence signal (FIG. 11 (2)) to the pulse cutting means 12d and the pulse generating means 12e (when a reaches the reference value X) The detection pulse signal input from the means 12a is output to the I / O port 14, and when the coincidence signal (see FIG. 11 (2)) is input from the comparison means 12c, the operation for cutting one pulse is performed. This is a pulse cut means (signal cut means) for performing a NAND operation using the detection pulse signal a and the coincidence signal as inputs. Therefore, the detection pulse signal output from the pulse cutting means 12d is a detection pulse signal b (see FIG. 11 (3)) in which one square pulse is cut. The detection pulse signal a is always input to 12e. Based on the input of the coincidence signal (FIG. 11 (2)) from the comparison means 12c, the detection pulse signal c for one pulse (see FIG. 11 (4)). Is a pulse generating means (signal generating means) that performs AND operation on the detected pulse signal a and the coincidence signal.

(1-3) Consumption tax indicator 3 (FIGS. 1 and 4)
Next, the configuration of the consumption tax indicator 3 will be described. The consumption tax display device 3 receives the pulse signal c corresponding to the consumption tax from the detection pulse generator unit 6 and displays the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the consumption tax corresponding to the total number of pachinko balls on the display unit 3b. The control unit 3a is configured to set a consumption tax based on various commands from the control personal computer 4, and the display unit 3b displays the consumption tax equivalent number (indirect tax equivalent number) and various information. Yes.

  In the control unit 3a (see FIG. 4), 17 is a RAM in which the programs shown in FIGS. 5 and 9 are stored, 18 is a CPU for executing the program stored in the RAM 17, and 19 is from the pulse generator unit 6. A count counter that counts the pulse signal c corresponding to the consumption tax that is sent and sends the count value to the CPU 18, and 20 is a storage memory that stores the accumulated data of the count value sent from the CPU 18. It is composed of a memory or the like.

  21 is a display control unit that converts the count value data sent from the CPU 18 and other various data sent from the information memory 22 into character or numeric data and sends them to the display unit 3b, and 22 is the control personal computer 4 Is an information memory for storing various character data sent from the E2PROM, for example. 23 sends various commands, character data, etc. from the control personal computer 4 to the memory 22, and controls the consumption tax storage data (consumption tax storage number) in the storage memory 20 in accordance with the command from the control personal computer 4. The communication port 24 to be sent to the personal computer 4 is connected to the communication port 23, and various commands, character data, etc. from the control personal computer 4 are sent to the counting pulse generator unit 6 and the other units U2, U3,. A communication port 25 for transmitting to the counter 25 is a count reset circuit that receives a receipt issuance signal from the counter 2 and transmits a reset signal to the count counter 19 and the CPU 18.

(1-4) About the control personal computer 4 The control personal computer 4 rewrites information information, consumption tax rate data, information information and consumption tax for all the units U1, U2,. Data transmission, reading of consumption tax accumulation data accumulated in the accumulation memory 20 of each unit, and the like are performed.

The present invention is configured as described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described.
(2-1) Initial setting and data change (FIGS. 5, 6, and 7)
First, character data (information data) is transmitted from the control personal computer 4 to the consumption tax indicator 3 together with a character data write command for information. Then, the CPU 18 of the display device 3 detects that there has been a character data write command through the communication port 23 (FIG. 5P1), and the character data (for example, “the consumption tax rate is 3%”) in the information memory 22. Etc.) is written (FIG. 5P2). When the control data is transmitted after giving the character rewriting command (change command) of the already written character data to the consumption tax display device 3 from the control personal computer 4, the CPU 18 sends the control personal computer 4 to the control personal computer 4. Is detected (Chart 5P3), and based on the change command (P4 in FIG. 5), the character data stored in the memory 22 is sent to the change data (for example, “the consumption tax rate is 5%”). (P5 in FIG. 5) By such processing, the character information “Consumption tax rate is 5%” is displayed on the display unit 3b (FIG. 9P7), and the character data can be changed.

  When an initial setting command including consumption tax rate data A (here, A = 5 [%]) is input to the control personal computer 4, the command is counted by the counter 2 via the communication ports 23 and 24. This is transmitted to the CPU 12 of the pulse generator unit 6, and the CPU 12 detects that there is a write command from the control personal computer 4 (FIG. 6P1), and writes the consumption tax rate data A (5%) in the RAM 11 (FIG. 6P2). . Thereafter, the calculation means 12b of the CPU 12 calculates the reference value X = 100 / A (X = 20 when A = 5%) (FIG. 6P3), and stores the calculation result (reference value) X (= 20) in the RAM 11. Store (FIG. 6P4). For example, when A = 3%, the fraction is rounded down to the reference value X = 33.

  When changing the consumption tax rate, when a change command including change data of the consumption tax rate is input to the control personal computer 4, the change command is sent to the CPU 12 of the counting pulse generator unit 6 via the communication ports 23 and 24. The CPU 12 detects that there has been a change command from the control personal computer 4 (FIG. 7P1), rewrites the contents of the RAM 11 to the changed consumption tax rate A ′ (FIG. 7P2), and Based on the consumption tax rate A ′, the calculation means 12b calculates the reference value X ′ = 100 / A ′ (FIG. 7P3) and rewrites the reference value X of the RAM 11 to the reference value X ′ (FIG. 7P4). If there is no change command, the process is executed at the currently set consumption tax rate (P5 in FIG. 7).

  In such initial setting or changing process, various commands and data from the control personal computer 4 are simultaneously transmitted to the other units U2, U3,... Processing is performed, and the information display of each unit is stored and changed, and the consumption tax rate is set and changed at the same time.

(2-2) Pachinko ball counting operation (Fig. 8)
Next, the pachinko ball counting operation will be described with the initial setting operation as described above completed. For simplicity of explanation, it is assumed that the consumption tax rate A = 5% and the counter 2 counts 100 pachinko balls.

  When the pachinko ball acquired by the player is inserted into a pachinko ball insertion unit (not shown) such as a counting hopper in the counting machine 2, the sensor light of the counting sensor 5 is shielded by the pachinko ball, thereby the number of pachinko balls. A detection pulse signal a corresponding to (for example, one pachinko ball corresponding to one square pulse) is sequentially input to the CPU 12 via the signal line L1 and the I / O port 13 (FIG. 11 (1)). Then, the CPU 12 detects the input of the detection pulse signal (FIG. 8P1), and counts up the number of pulses of the detection pulse signal sequentially input by a built-in count counter (counter means) 12a (FIG. 8P2). The detection pulse signals are sequentially sent to the detection pulse signal counting unit 8 of the counting unit 7 through the pulse cut means 12d and the I / O port 14 (P3 and P5 in FIG. 8). When the comparison means 12c of the CPU 12 detects that the count value of the count counter 12a reaches the reference value X (= 20) stored in the RAM 11 (P3 in FIG. 8), that is, 20 counter means 12a. Is counted, a coincidence signal (see FIG. 11 (2)) is sent to the pulse cut means 12d each time. In the example of FIG. 11, every time the count value reaches the reference value X = 20, a process of sending a coincidence signal (FIG. 11 (2)) is performed. As a result, the pulse cut means 12d stops sending the detection pulse signal to the I / O port 14 for one square pulse (P4 in FIG. 8). That is, every time the count value reaches the reference value X, one pulse is cut. In the case of this embodiment, since the consumption tax rate A = 5%, every time 20 detection pulse signals a are counted, the detection pulse signal b cut by one pulse is sent to the detection pulse signal counting means 8. (See FIG. 11 (3)).

  Therefore, in the detection pulse signal counting unit 8, when the detection pulse signal a of 20 pulses is counted by the count counter 12a, 19 detection pulse signals b are counted, and the detection pulse signal a of 40 pulses is counted by the counter 12a. When counted, processing such as counting 38 detection pulse signals b is performed.

  Further, the comparison means 12c of the CPU 12 simultaneously with the above processing, every time the count value of the detection pulse signal reaches the reference value X (= 20) (FIG. 8P3 ′), the coincidence signal (FIG. 2)) is simultaneously transmitted, whereby a pulse signal c (FIG. 11 (4)) for one pulse is generated from the pulse generating means 12e, and the pulse signal c is transmitted through the I / O port 15 to the consumption tax. The images are sequentially sent to the display device 3 (FIGS. 8P6 and P7). Therefore, each time the 20 detection pulse signals a are counted by the counting counter 12a, one pulse signal c is sent to the consumption tax indicator 3.

  By such processing, when the counting sensor 5 counts 100 pachinko balls, a detection pulse signal a for 100 pulses is sent to the CPU 12, and 95 detection pulse signals b are sent to the detection pulse signal count unit 8. Is sent, and the pulse signal c for 5 pulses is sent to the consumption tax indicator 3.

  The detection pulse signal counting unit 8 of the counter 2 counts up the number of pulses of the detection pulse signal b sent from the CPU 12, and sequentially sends the count value data to the display control unit 9a. The display control unit 9a outputs the numerical data corresponding to the count value data to the count data display unit 9, and the count data display unit 9 receives "1" in the detection of the pachinko ball in the count sensor 5 in substantially real time. ”Is displayed, and finally“ 95 ”is displayed by subtracting the consumption tax from the count value (100).

  When the counting operation of the pachinko balls in the counting sensor 5 is completed, when the operator presses the all buttons 10a of the receipt issuing button 10, a receipt issuing signal is sent to the receipt issuing detection circuit 16 and the signal is consumed. It is sent to the count reset circuit 25 of the tax indicator 3.

  The receipt issue detection circuit 16 sends a reset signal to the CPU 12, whereby the CPU 12 detects that the receipt issue button 10 is pressed (P7 in FIG. 8), and based on this, the built-in count counter 12a is set to zero. Reset and return to the standby state (P8, P9 in FIG. 8).

  When the receipt issuing button 10 is pressed, a receipt R printed with “95”, which is obtained by subtracting the consumption tax, is issued from the receipt issuing unit 11.

(2-3) Operation of the consumption tax indicator 3 (FIG. 9)
In the consumption tax display device 3, at the time when the above initial setting operation is performed, information information (for example, “the consumption tax rate is 5 [%]”) is displayed on the display portion 3b (P7 in FIG. 9). . Here, every time the CPU 12 counts the reference value X (= 20) by the processing of step P6 in FIG. 8, the pulse signal c of one pulse is consumed from the CPU 12 via the I / O port 15 by the consumption tax. When input to the count counter 19 of the display 3, the count counter 19 counts the number of pulses each time the pulse signal is input, and sends the count pulse value to the CPU 18. Then, the CPU 18 detects that the count pulse is input (FIG. 9P1), counts up the input count pulse (FIG. 9P2), and sequentially outputs the count value to the RAM 17, and the RAM 17 outputs the pulse count value. Is integrated (FIG. 9P3). Therefore, the newly input count value “5” is added to the count value (for example, “20”) already accumulated in the RAM 17 (in this case, the addition count value of the RAM 17 becomes “25”). (FIG. 9P3).

  The CPU 18 similarly detects the presence of count data based on the input of the count pulse from the count counter 19 (FIG. 9P8), and sequentially sends the count pulse to the display control unit 21 (FIG. 9). 9P9). The display control unit 21 erases the information information, converts the input count pulse into numerical data, and sequentially sends it to the display unit 3b (P9 in FIG. 9). Thereby, the information data already displayed on the display unit 3b is deleted, and the number corresponding to the consumption tax is displayed in real time. That is, each time the count pulse is input, the display section 3b sequentially displays the numbers “1, 2, 3,...” In real time, and finally the total number of pachinko balls is 100%. “5” corresponding to is displayed.

  When the counting by the counter 2 is completed and the receipt issuing button 10 is pressed (timing of step P7 in FIG. 8), a receipt issuing signal is input to the count reset circuit 25 of the consumption tax indicator 3 and counted by the CPU 18. When a reset signal is input (FIG. 9P4), the CPU 18 resets the contents of the counter 19 to zero (FIG. 9P5), and shifts to a standby state (FIG. 9P6).

  Further, based on the input of the receipt issuance signal (P4 in FIG. 9), the CPU 18 fixedly displays “5”, which is the final number corresponding to the consumption tax, on the display unit 3b (P10 in FIG. 9). Then, when the CPU 18 starts measuring time by the built-in timer from the time of the fixed display and detects that several minutes have passed (for example, three minutes have passed), the CPU 18 gives the display control unit 21 the number corresponding to the consumption tax “5”. "And a command to redisplay the information data is given (FIG. 9P11). As a result, the display of the consumption tax equivalent number “5” being displayed on the display unit 3b is deleted, and the information in the information memory 22 is displayed again (FIG. 9P7).

  Further, based on the input of the count reset signal (P4 in FIG. 9), the CPU 18 writes the accumulated data (“25”) accumulated in the RAM 17 into the accumulation memory 20 (P12 in FIG. 9).

  As a result of the above processing, the display unit 3b of the consumption tax display machine 3 displays the number “5” corresponding to the consumption tax for the total number of pachinko balls counted, and the storage memory 20 displays the consumption tax. A considerable number is accumulated sequentially.

(2-4) Total number reading operation for one day When a business tax reading command is sent from the control personal computer 4 to the consumption tax indicator 3 at the end of the day, the CPU 18 sends the communication port. The command is detected via the control unit 23 (FIG. 9P13), and the stored data (the equivalent number of pachinko balls for one day) is sent to the control personal computer 4 (FIG. 9P14). Thereafter, the CPU 18 clears the contents of the storage memory 20 (P15 in FIG. 9).

  The control personal computer 4 can recognize the total consumption tax equivalent number of the unit U1 for one day based on the accumulated data to be input.

  The consumption tax readout command is also sent to the other units U2, U3,... Via the communication port 24, and the total consumption tax equivalent for one day is also obtained in the same process in these other units. It is sent to the control personal computer 4. Therefore, the control personal computer 4 can recognize the number corresponding to the consumption tax in each unit installed in all the game facilities.

  In the above embodiment, the number of taxable game media is displayed on the count data display unit 9 and the number equivalent to indirect tax is displayed on the display unit 3b of the consumption tax display device 3. However, the output data of the display control unit 21 is displayed as the count data. The information may be sent to the display unit 9 so that the display unit 9 can display the number of tax game media and the number equivalent to indirect tax.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is only necessary to add the counting pulse generator unit 6 and the consumption tax indicator 3 to the existing counter 2 ′ already installed in a gaming facility such as a pachinko hall, and to consume the gift at the time of prize exchange. A system for collecting game media for tax can be constructed, and the entire gaming facility can be changed to a facility that can collect consumption tax at low cost.

  Further, the count pulse generator unit 6 only needs to be connected to the detection pulse signal line L1 of the existing counter 2 ′, and the count value can be reset using the receipt issue signal of the existing counter 2 ′. Because of the configuration, it is not necessary to make any changes to the internal circuit or the like of the existing counter 2 ′, and it is possible to construct a gift exchange system that can collect consumption tax extremely efficiently.

  In addition, since the present invention collects a consumption tax at the time of prize exchange, it is not necessary to install it adjacent to all pachinko machines like a conventional ball rental machine, and a consumption tax collection system is constructed at an extremely low cost. can do.

  In addition, since it is possible to display both the counted number of pachinko balls for tax-paid gaming media and the number equivalent to indirect tax, it is possible to realize a counting display device that is easy for a player to understand.

  Further, since the consumption tax equivalent number is stored in the storage memory 20 of the consumption tax display device 3, the control personal computer 4 can easily acquire the accumulated data of the consumption tax equivalent number in the counting display device. it can.

  Further, by connecting the counting display device of the present invention with a communication line and connecting the control personal computer 4 to the communication line, the control personal computer 4 collects data (information data, consumption tax setting data) for all the counting display devices. , Cumulative consumption tax equivalent amount data, etc.), consumption tax data, and information data can be changed, and an extremely efficient consumption tax collection system can be constructed.
