Description

  The present invention relates to a misalignment display device for gaming machine obstacle nails that can easily adjust the posture of a number of obstacle nails planted on a board surface of a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, and more particularly, to be placed on the board surface. The present invention relates to a position shift display device for a gaming machine fault nail capable of displaying an image of the position shift of the fault nail.

  On the board surface of the gaming machine, many obstacle nails for restricting whether or not the steel balls are won are planted at various intervals such as linear or curvilinear. The winning rate of each gaming machine varies greatly depending on the position and inclination of these obstacle nails. In the pachinko hall, the winning rate is set by adjusting these obstacle nails, and the hall and the player are harmonized.

  Adjustment of the above-mentioned obstacle nail has been performed with a unique sense by a skilled technician who has traditionally been called a nail artist. This adjustment differs depending on the type of nails such as straight or curvilinear road nails that determine the path of the steel ball and life nails that play a major role in winning decisions, but it is fine in units of about 0.01 mm. There are parts that need to be adjusted and parts that need to be adjusted in units of 0.1 mm. And measure how much the position of the nail is shifted, apply the special gauge to the part that can be measured, apply the gauge, and rely on intuition to judge the other part and the straight line or curve of the road nail. There were many.

  Therefore, the applicant of the present invention obtains the position of the obstacle nail in the gaming machine as image data, and displays the obstacle nail in which the nail arrangement of the second arrangement mode is superimposed on the nail arrangement of the first arrangement mode and displayed from the image data. A determination method was proposed (Patent Document 1).

  According to the above determination method, the nail arrangements of the first arrangement mode and the second arrangement mode can be seen at the same time, so that there is an advantage that it is easy to confirm the deviation of the nail head position.

      JP 2000-288173 A

  However, in the configuration in which the position deviation of the obstacle nail is viewed using the conventional image data, the nail head positions of the first arrangement mode and the second arrangement mode are displayed at the same time. It was not easy to accurately recognize the linearity and curvilinearity of nails arranged linearly or curvedly.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a misalignment display device for a gaming machine fault nail that can clearly recognize the misalignment distance of the nail head position from image data. .

The image acquisition means for acquiring the arrangement image data of the obstacle nail implanted on the reference board surface and the arrangement image data of the obstacle nail implanted on the comparison board surface to be compared with the reference board surface, and the image acquisition means acquired by the image acquisition means Each nail head position coordinate is analyzed from the nail arrangement image data of the reference board surface and the nail arrangement image data of the comparison board surface, and the difference of the nail head position coordinate of the comparison board surface with respect to the analyzed nail head position coordinate of the reference board surface is calculated. Analyzing operation means for displaying, the analyzed nail head position of the reference board surface, and the analyzed nail head position of the comparison board surface, and the comparison board with respect to the nail head position of the reference board surface according to the calculation result And having a display means for display by different colors according to the nail head position to the displacement distance.

  According to another representative means of the present invention, in the above configuration, the nail head positions at two positions on both ends of a plurality of nail head positions arranged linearly on the reference board surface displayed on the display means are designated. Then, a straight line connecting the two nail head positions is displayed.

  In addition, in another representative means according to the present invention, in the above-described configuration, arbitrary three nail head positions among a plurality of nail head positions arranged in a curved manner on the reference board surface displayed on the display means are provided. When designated, a curve connecting the three nail head positions is displayed.

  The present invention displays the nail arrangement on the reference board surface and the nail arrangement on the comparison board surface on the display means, and displays them in different colors according to the positional deviation distance of the nail head position on the comparison board surface from the nail head position on the reference board surface. Thus, the identification and adjustment amount of the nail on the comparative panel surface to be adjusted can be visually recognized, and the nail adjustment can be easily performed.

  Furthermore, if a straight line or a curve connecting a specified nail head position on the reference board surface is displayed for a plurality of nail rows arranged linearly or curvedly, the nail row is linearly or curvedly displayed. It is possible to easily visually confirm whether it is arranged. For this reason, even if it does not have special skill, it becomes possible to adjust an obstacle nail easily.

  Next, a position shift display device for a gaming machine obstacle nail according to an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  This embodiment is a nail planted on a board surface of a reference table (hereinafter referred to as a “reference board surface”) with a nail arrangement position as a reference, and a table of the same model as the reference table. The arrangement state of the nail implanted on the surface of the comparison table (hereinafter referred to as “comparison surface”) for determining how much the nail head position is deviated from the table is acquired as image data. The position shift distance and the position shift direction of the nail head position of the comparison table with respect to the reference table are displayed so as to be recognized at a glance.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a device configuration for displaying the position of a gaming machine obstacle nail for that purpose. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes image acquisition means for acquiring nail arrangements on the surface of the reference table and the comparison table as image data. The image input unit is configured to read and acquire the board surface as digital image data, for example, by imaging the board surface of the gaming machine with a digital camera or scanning with a scanner fixed to the board surface.

  The image data may be acquired not only when the entire board surface is imaged, but also by capturing only the part of the specific obstacle nail to be adjusted and acquiring the partial image data.

  Reference numeral 2 denotes input means for inputting and registering various data. For example, a color (nail recognition color) for recognizing a nail head from the acquired image data by the input means 2 or as described later. The color to be displayed according to the positional deviation distance of the nail head position is input and registered in advance.

  In addition to the above, for example, information of the captured model (model name, model-specific specifications, etc.), gaming machine information (gaming machine number, individual identification number of the board, etc.), nail identification symbol (one by one) It is also possible to input symbols, names), nail interval widths, nail angles, etc.

  Various data and information obtained from the image acquisition means 1 and the input means 2 are controlled by the control means 3, the acquired image data and input data are stored in the data storage means 4, and various data are calculated in the analysis calculation means 5. Analysis is done. The control means 3 comprehensively controls the entire system including the data storage means 4 and the analysis operation means 5.

  The display means 6 displays the nail head position of the reference board surface and the nail head position of the comparison board surface based on the result of the arithmetic analysis of the various data, and the nail head position of the comparison board surface with respect to the nail head position of the reference board surface Are displayed on the display in accordance with the position shift distance and the position shift direction. In this embodiment, the display method is the display on the display, but the image may be printed and displayed.

  Next, a description will be given of a position shift display system for obstacle nails using the above apparatus.

  First, a method of displaying the positional deviation distance and the positional deviation direction of the nail head position on the comparison board surface relative to the nail head position on the reference board surface will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a display example of the nail position deviation state, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a nail head position deviation display procedure.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the nail misalignment display of the present embodiment includes a nail head circle (hereinafter referred to as “reference nail head circle”) 10b for displaying the position of the nail head on the reference board surface, and the nail. A nail head circle (hereinafter referred to as a “comparison nail head circle”) 10 a that displays the corresponding nail head position on the comparison panel surface is displayed on the display means 6. At this time, the color of the reference nail head circle is changed in accordance with the distance that the comparative nail head circle is deviated from the reference nail head circle, and the direction of the deviation is indicated by an arrow. In this way, it is possible to easily visually recognize the shift state of the nail head position on the comparison panel surface on the display.

  In the above display, the nail arrangement image on the comparison board surface is captured by a scanner or the like according to the procedure shown in FIG. 3, and the image data is analyzed to calculate and display the position displacement distance and position displacement direction relative to the nail head position on the reference board surface. To do. In this embodiment, before acquiring the nail arrangement image of the comparison panel surface, it should be displayed according to the nail recognition color as an initial setting and the positional deviation distance of the comparison nail head circle corresponding to the reference nail head circle. A color data table is input from the input unit 2 and stored in the data storage unit 4.

  A portion where the portion of the nail recognition color specified from the image data of the board surface, which is the acquired nail arrangement image data, is distributed by the nail recognition color for the region of the nail head (generally 4 mm in diameter) is nailed. Recognize as head position. For example, the contrast of image data is checked, and the gradient of each color contrast of R (Red), G (Green), and B (Blue) in the surrounding circle of each pixel is calculated, and the gradient is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. In this case, it is determined that there is contrast, and when the inclination is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, it is determined that there is no contrast and the region is the same color. Then, a portion where the nail recognition color area is distributed about the area of the nail head is recognized as a nail head, a circle with a diameter of 4 mm is drawn from the center coordinates of the area, and as shown in FIG. A nail head circle is displayed as the head position.

  Note that the display of the nail head circle is displayed with the number of pixels corresponding to the acquired image data and the resolution of the display. For example, in the present embodiment, a nail head circle having a diameter of 4 mm is displayed at z = 40 pixels.

  The data table of misalignment distance and display color can be set and input by the user as appropriate. The distance between the reference nail head circle and the reference nail head circle is divided in stages, The color of the reference nail head circle is changed according to the stage and displayed on the display. For example, an example of a data table when a nail head circle having a diameter of 4 mm in this embodiment is displayed with 40 pixels is as follows.

(1) No deviation = white,
(2) 0.1-0.2 mm = 1-2 pixels = light blue,
(3) 0.3-0.5 mm = 3-5 pixels = yellow,
(4) 0.6-1.0 mm = 6-10 pixels = pink,
(5) 1.1-2.0 mm = 11-20 pixels = red,
(6) 2.1 mm or more = 21 pixels or more = black,

  As described above, by changing the color according to the positional deviation distance of the comparative nail head circle with respect to the reference nail head circle, the degree of deviation of the comparative nail head circle is clarified.

  After the above setting, the image data of the reference board surface is acquired. And the image data is obtained by imaging the board surface with a scanner or a digital camera (step S1). Note that the image data of the reference board need not be limited to the gaming machine actually installed in the hall, but the image data should be obtained from a catalog, photograph, drawing, etc. of the gaming machine in which the obstacle nail is correctly placed. May be.

  After the above initial setting, as shown in the flow chart of FIG. 3, a comparison board surface for determining the displacement of the obstacle nail is imaged by a scanner, a digital camera or the like, and the image data is obtained (step S2). As this image data, image data of the entire board surface may be acquired, or image data of a part of the board surface having the obstacle nail to be determined may be acquired.

  Next, the nail head position is recognized based on the above-described nail recognition color from the obtained image data of the comparison panel. Then, the image data is subjected to raster / vector conversion processing or the like to obtain the coordinates (x1, y1) of the center A of the nail recognition position in the X, Y coordinates as shown in FIG. 2B (step S3). . Further, a comparative nail head circle 10a having a nail diameter (4 mm in the present embodiment) around the coordinate A is displayed on the display means.

  Next, from the image data of the reference board surface input by the initial setting, the nail head position on the reference board surface corresponding to the nail to be determined on the comparison board surface is similarly displayed. That is, the nail head position is recognized from the image data of the reference board surface based on the nail recognition color, and the image data is subjected to raster vector conversion processing, etc., as shown in FIG. The coordinates (x2, y2) are acquired (step S4). Then, a reference nail head circle 10b having a nail diameter around the coordinate B is displayed on the display means.

  Based on the center coordinates A and B of the comparative nail head circle 10a and the reference nail head circle 10b displayed as described above, the positional deviation distance d of the comparative nail head circle with respect to the reference nail head circle 10b and the angle r indicating the positional deviation direction. Is calculated (steps S5 and S6). This can be obtained as follows.

  In FIG. 2B, the distance between the centers A and B of the two circles is d, the angle is r, and the circle diameter (4 mm in the present embodiment) is z pixel [pix] because of the image resolution. The distance d is as follows.

d = {(x2−x1) ² + (y2−y1) ² } ^1/2 [pix]

^{d = {(x2-x1)} 2 + (y2-y1) 2} 1/2 × (4 / z) [mm]

  The angle r is as follows.

(1) When (y2−y1)> 0 r = Cos ⁻¹ {(x2−x1) / d} [rad]

(2) When (y2−y1) <0 r = Cos ⁻¹ {− (x2−x1) / d} + π [rad]

  Next, based on the display color data table input from the distance d calculated and acquired as described above, the display color of the reference nail head circle corresponding to the distance d is acquired (step S7). Then, the reference nail head circle 10b is colored with the acquired display color (step S8), and the position shift direction of the comparative nail head circle 10a with respect to the reference nail head circle 10b is determined based on the angle r indicating the position shift direction acquired together with this. Displayed with an arrow (step S9). Further, in the present embodiment, the displacement distance d [mm] and the angle r [°] indicating the displacement direction are displayed on the display means (step S10).

  For example, when the center A of the comparison nail head circle 10a is shifted by 16 pixels from the center B of the reference nail head circle 10b, the color is red. If the distance d = 1.6 [mm] and the angle r = 55 [°] based on the image resolution at this time, the reference nail head circle 10b is displayed in red as shown in FIG. At the same time, an arrow indicating the misalignment direction is displayed, and the distance d and the angle r are numerically displayed.

  As described above, since the reference nail head circle 10a is colored and displayed in accordance with the positional deviation distance of the nail head position of the comparison board surface relative to the nail head position of the reference board surface, the nail specification and adjustment amount of the comparison board surface to be adjusted are displayed. Can be visually recognized. Since the angle is also displayed at the same time, it can be easily recognized without special skills including the adjustment direction.

  Furthermore, since the positional displacement distance and angle are displayed numerically simultaneously with the coloring, the positional displacement distance and the positional displacement direction can be specifically recognized, and delicate nail adjustment can be easily performed.

  Further, in the gaming machine obstacle nail misalignment display device of this embodiment, it is possible to easily recognize the linearity and curvilinearity of a road nail or the like in which a plurality of nails are arranged linearly and in a curved manner. Is displayed. Next, the display method will be described.

  First, linearity recognition will be described. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), a plurality of nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 displaying the nail head positions linearly planted on the reference board surface, and comparisons corresponding to the nails. A plurality of comparative nail head circles 10a1 to 10a5 for displaying nail head positions on the board surface are displayed on the display means 6. At this time, a straight line connecting the plurality of reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 arranged linearly is displayed. Thus, the linearity of the plurality of comparative nail head circles 10a1 to 10a5 arranged linearly can be easily visually confirmed.

  The display is performed according to the procedure shown in FIG. Here, the nail head is recognized from the acquired image data of the reference board surface and the comparison board surface, the respective nail head circles are displayed, and the reference nail head circles are displayed according to the positional deviation distances of the respective comparison nail head circles 10a1 to 10a5. Steps S1 to S10 described above with reference to FIG. 3 are the same as steps 10b1 to 10b5 until the position shift direction is displayed (step S21 to step S30).

  Next, a nail head circle 10b1 positioned at one end of a plurality of reference nail head circles linearly arranged on the display means is designated (step S31). This designation may be instructed directly from the input means, but when the display serving as the display means is constituted by a touch panel, it can also be designated by touching the position of the corresponding nail head circle 10b1. .

  Similarly, the nail head circle 10b5 located at the other end of the plurality of reference nail head circles arranged linearly is designated (step S32).

  In response to the designation of the start point and end point of the straight line as described above, the analytical calculation means 5 calculates a straight line expression to be displayed. This can be obtained as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the coordinates (x1, y1) of the center A of the reference nail head circle of the nail designated as the start point (hereinafter referred to as “start point nail”) and the nail designated as the end point (hereinafter “ The coordinates (x2, y2) of the center B of the reference nail head circle of “end point nail” are acquired, and a straight line k passing through the two points A, B is calculated (step S33), and the straight line k is parallel to the Y-axis direction. The moved ones become the tangent lines k1 and k2 of the reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5.

  Here, the slope m of the straight line k = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

  Therefore, the equation of the straight line k is Y = mX− (m × x1−y1)

  In FIG. 4B, the parallel movement distance in the y-axis direction corresponds to the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle B. Since the triangle A and the triangle B are right triangles and have the same angle r, they have a similar relationship.

  Therefore, [the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle A × {(x2−x1) / (z / 2)}].

Length of hypotenuse of triangle A = {(x2-x1) ² + (y2-y1) ² } ^1/2

  From the above, the equation of tangent k1 is

Y = mX- (m × x1- y1) + {(x2-x1) 2 + (y2-y1) 2} 1/2 × {2 (x2-x1) / z}

  Similarly, the equation of tangent k2 is

Y = mX- (m × x1- y1) - {(x2-x1) 2 + (y2-y1) 2} 1/2 × {2 (x2-x1) / z}

  By displaying the two straight lines (tangent lines k1 and k2) obtained as described above on the display, the tangent lines are displayed in the linearly arranged rows of the reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 (step S34, S35).

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, in step S36, the positional deviation distances of the comparison nail head circles 10a1 and 10a5 with respect to the reference nail head circles 10b1 and 10b5 designated as the start point and the end point are compared.

  First, when the displacement distance at the starting point nail is larger than the displacement distance at the end point nail, a color corresponding to the displacement distance in the reference nail head circle of the starting point nail is acquired from the data table described above (step S37). On the other hand, if the position shift distance in the end point nail is larger than the position shift distance in the start point nail in step S36, a color corresponding to the position shift distance in the reference nail head circle of the end point nail is obtained from the above-described data table (step S36). S38). Then, the tangent lines k1 and k2 are displayed with the acquired color (step S39).

  For example, when the positional deviation distance of the comparison nail head circle 10a1 corresponding to the start point nail is 8 pixels and the positional deviation distance of the comparison nail head circle 10a5 corresponding to the end point nail is 16 pixels, the data table described above is an example. In this case, the reference nail head circle 10b1 of the start point nail is displayed in pink, and the reference nail head circle 10b5 of the end point nail is displayed in red. The tangent lines k1 and k2 connecting these reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 are displayed in red corresponding to the position shift distance of the end point nail having a large position shift distance.

  For the nail rows arranged in a straight line as described above, not only the displacement distance and displacement direction are displayed, but also a straight line connecting the nail head circles is displayed. It can be easily confirmed whether or not the nail rows formed are linearly arranged and how much the nails are displaced in which direction with respect to the straight line.

  Further, by displaying the straight line in a color corresponding to the position shift distance of the start point nail and the end point nail having the larger position shift distance, it is easy to visually recognize that there is a shift in the nail row forming the straight line. It becomes possible.

  Next, recognition of the curvilinearity of the nail rows arranged in a curved manner will be described. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), a plurality of nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 displaying the nail head positions planted in a curved manner on the reference board surface, and comparisons corresponding to the nails. A plurality of comparative nail head circles 10a1 to 10a5 for displaying nail head positions on the board surface are displayed on the display means 6. At this time, a curve connecting a plurality of reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 arranged in a curve is displayed. Thus, the curvilinearity of the plurality of comparative nail head circles 10a1 to 10a5 arranged in a curve can be easily visually recognized.

  The display is performed according to the procedure shown in FIG. Here, the nail head position is recognized from the acquired image data of the reference board surface and the comparison board surface, the respective nail head circles are displayed, and the reference nail heads are displayed according to the positional deviation distances of the respective comparison nail head circles 10a1 to 10a5. Until the circles 10b1 to 10b5 are displayed in color and the misalignment direction is displayed, the steps S1 to S10 described with reference to FIG. 3 are the same (steps S41 to S50).

  Next, among the plurality of reference nail head circles arranged in a curved line on the display means, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the nail reference nail head circles 10b1 and 10b5 that are the start point and end point of the curve are designated ( Steps S51 and S52). Next, when displaying a curve, a reference nail head circle 10b3 of a nail (hereinafter referred to as a “route point nail”) serving as a curve via point is designated (step S53). The designation of each nail head circle may be performed by touching the touch panel in the same manner as in the case of displaying the straight line described above.

  As described above, the start and end points of the curve and the position of the via point are designated, and the equation of the curve to be displayed is calculated by the analysis calculation means. This can be obtained as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, the coordinates (x1, y1) of the center A of the reference nail head circle of the starting point nail, the coordinates (x2, y2) of the center N of the reference nail head circle of the via point nail, and the end point The coordinates (x3, y3) of the center C of the reference nail head circle of the nail are acquired, and the intersection of each perpendicular bisector of the straight line k1 connecting the points A and B and the straight line k2 connecting the points B and C is the point A , B, C is the center of a circle having a circumference, and the distance from the center to the point A is the radius. With this circle as a reference, the inner circle of the reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 has a value of radius -z / 2 (z = diameter of the nail head circle [pix]), and the outer circle has a value of radius + z / 2. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  Inclination of straight line k1 = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

  Therefore, the slope of the vertical bisector j1 = − (x2−x1) / (y2−y1)

  Similarly, the slope of the vertical bisector j2 = − (x3−x2) / (y3−y2)

  Here, the perpendicular bisector j1 passes through the midpoint M of the points A and B. The coordinates of the midpoint M are

  Midpoint M ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)

  Therefore, the equation for the vertical bisector j1 is

  Y =-{(x2-x1) / (y2-y1)} X + b

  Substituting the coordinates of midpoint M

  (Y1 + y2) / 2 =-(x2-x1) (x1 + x2) / 2 (y2-y1) + b

  b = (y1 + y2) / 2 + (x2-x1) (x1 + x2) / 2 (y2-y1)

  That is, the expression of the perpendicular bisector j1 is as follows (steps S54 and S55).

  Y = − {(x2−x1) / (y2−y1)} X + (y1 + y2) / 2 + (x2−x1) (x1 + x2) / 2 (y2−y1) (1)

  Similarly, the expression of the vertical bisector j2 is obtained as follows (steps S56 and S57).

  Y =-{(x3-x2) / (y3-y2)} X + (y2 + y3) / 2 + (x3-x2) (x2 + x3) / 2 (y3-y2) (2)

  The center O of the circle is the intersection of the straight lines j1 and j2. Therefore, the x coordinate x0 of the center O is obtained from the equations (1) and (2).

  x0 = {(y1 + y2) / 2 + (x2-x1) (x1 + x2) / 2 (y2-y1)-(y2 + y3) / 2- (x3-x2) (x2 + x3) / 2 (y3-y2)} / {(x2 -X1) / (y2-y1)-(x3-x2) / (y3-y2)}

  The y coordinate y0 of the center O is calculated by substituting x0 into the formula of the perpendicular bisector j1.

  y0 =-{(x2-x1) / (y2-y1)} x0 + (y1 + y2) / 2 + (x2-x1) (x1 + x2) / 2 (y2-y1)

  So the radius of the circle is

{(X0−x1) ² + (y0−y1) ² } ^1/2

  From the above, the coordinates and radius of the center O of the inner circle are as follows (steps S58 and S59).

Center of inner circle = (x0, y0), radius = {(x0−x1) ² + (y0−y1) ² } ^1/2 −z / 2

  Similarly, the coordinates and radius of the center O of the outer circle are as follows (step S60).

Center of outer circle = (x0, y0), radius = {(x0−x1) ² + (y0−y1) ² } ^1/2 + z / 2

  By displaying the inner circle and the outer circle obtained as described above on the display, the rows of the reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 arranged in a curve are connected by a curve.

  Further, when displaying the curve, the color is changed according to the positional deviation distance of the comparative nail head circle with respect to the reference nail head circle. Therefore, in this embodiment, in step S61, when the positional deviation distance of the comparison nail head circle 10a1 is larger than the other comparison nail head circles 10a2 to 10a5 with respect to the reference nail head circle 10b1 corresponding to the designated starting point nail, that is, When the positional deviation distance of the comparison nail head circle 10a1 corresponding to the starting point nail is the maximum, a color corresponding to the positional deviation distance in the starting point nail is obtained from the data table described above (step S62).

  If the positional deviation distance of the comparative nail head circle corresponding to the starting point nail is not the maximum in step S61, the process proceeds to step S63 to compare the reference nail head circle 10b5 corresponding to the designated end point nail. When the displacement distance of 10a5 is larger than the other comparison nail head circles 10a1 to 10a4, that is, when the displacement distance of the comparison nail head circle 10a5 corresponding to the end point nail is the maximum, the position displacement distance at the end point nail from the data table described above. The color corresponding to is acquired (step S64).

  On the other hand, if neither the step S61 nor the step S63 is applicable, a color corresponding to the positional deviation distance at the via point nail is acquired (step S65). Then, the inner circle and the outer circle are displayed with the acquired color (step S66).

  For example, when the positional deviation distance of the comparison nail head circle 10a5 corresponding to the end point nail is 16 pixels and this is larger than any of the positional deviation distances of the other comparative nail head circles 10a1 to 10a4, the data table described above is an example. In this case, the reference nail head circle 10b5 of the end point nail is displayed in red. The inner circle and the outer circle connecting these reference nail head circles 10b1 to 10b5 are displayed in red corresponding to the position shift distance in the end point nail having a large position shift distance.

  For nails arranged in a curved manner as described above, not only the displacement distance and the displacement direction are displayed, but also a nail arranged in a curved line by displaying a curve connecting nail head circles. It can be easily confirmed whether the columns are arranged in a truly curvilinear manner, and in what direction and how far the columns are displaced.

  Further, as in the case of the straight line display described above, by displaying a curve in a color corresponding to a nail having a large positional deviation distance among a plurality of nail rows arranged in a curved line, the nail row forming a curve is shifted. It can be easily visually recognized that this occurs.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the positional displacement distance of the nail head position is displayed by a numerical value together with the color display has been shown. However, in addition to the numerical value, the length and thickness of the arrow indicating the positional displacement direction are determined according to the distance. Or may be displayed with an index value such that points are scored or decremented according to the displacement distance to score the maintenance status of the gaming machine. Furthermore, when the positional deviation distance is displayed stepwise, the positional deviation distance can be easily confirmed only by color display.

  Further, when the color display is performed, the color shown in the above-described embodiment is an example, and can be appropriately changed by inputting and setting a color data table corresponding to the positional deviation distance.

  Further, as a method of displaying the nail position deviation direction, in addition to the arrows described above, the position deviation direction is expressed as an angle “°” or “rad”, or as a clock display “hh: mm” or “hh hour mm”. You may make it display like "minute".

  The present invention relates to a misalignment display device for a gaming machine failure nail that displays the displacement of the failure nail in a gaming machine in which the failure nail is implanted on the board surface.
