The usage fee management terminal calculates a first system usage fee according to the number of points exchanged for the prize as at least a part of the system usage fee charged to the amusement store according to the amusement store information. The game agent information posting agency system is characterized in that it is configured as described above (claim 1).

  The game store information posting agency system according to the present invention includes the information server terminal that stores the game store information in a state in which the game store information can be browsed through the public communication line, the point management means, and the prize exchange means. A server terminal; and a usage fee management terminal that calculates the system usage fee charged to the amusement store according to the amusement store information. The game store information posting agency system combines the provision of the game store information through the public communication line and the exchange of prizes for points given for the purpose of returning services to the players.

  In the game store information posting agency system, the first system usage fee can be calculated in accordance with prize exchange. Therefore, the side that manages the above-mentioned game store information posting agency system can attract the player to visit the game store and browse the game store information so that the player can actively exchange prizes. Try to increase the above, and to provide the above-mentioned premium.

Gamers come to the amusement store as a motivation for acquiring attractive prizes. Furthermore, it is expected that the player wants to play the game efficiently because he / she visits the game store, and uses the game store information of the game store.
As the number of players visiting the game store increases, the number of points exchanged for prizes can increase accordingly. In the amusement store, the first system usage fee in an amount corresponding to the quantity of the points reflecting the effect of attracting customers can be charged appropriately.

  As described above, the game store information posting agency system according to the present invention is an excellent system capable of calculating an appropriate cost as the game store information posting fee.

As the above-mentioned game store in the present invention, a game store with a pachinko machine using a pachinko ball as a game medium, a game shop with a pachislot machine using medals or coins as a game medium, a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine are installed. There are amusement stores that have been used.
In addition, the information server terminal, the point server terminal, the usage fee management terminal, and the amusement shop terminal should be connected in a communicable state via a public communication line such as the Internet or a dedicated communication line. Can do.

  In addition, the information server terminal, the point server terminal, and the usage fee management terminal can be installed in a remote place and can be connected in a communicable state via a public communication line such as the Internet. It can be installed in a facility and can be connected in a communicable state via an in-facility communication line such as an intranet.

Furthermore, the information server terminal, the point server terminal, and the usage fee management terminal can be appropriately combined as appropriate.
In addition, as a method of charging the system usage fee to the amusement store, it may be performed via a public communication line such as the Internet or a dedicated communication line, or the usage fee management terminal may be used using a printer or the like. You can also send the output invoices.

  In addition to managing the amusement store information stored in the information server terminal, the fact that the amusement store information is represented on behalf of the amusement store information posting agency system can be managed on the information server terminal. This means a broad concept including the management of the game store information only by providing a storage area for the game store information, including the management of the game store information.

In addition, the usage fee management terminal according to the quantity of the points given to the player related to the store visit information as at least a part of the system use fee charged to the game store that is the transmission source of the store visit information Preferably, the second system usage fee is calculated (claim 2).
In this case, the second system usage fee according to the quantity of the points granted to the player can be calculated as the system usage fee corresponding to the fee for granting the points to the player. . Therefore, even if the player is given the points, but the player does not exchange prizes, the minimum system usage fee can be collected as the second system usage fee.

  The ratio of the second system usage fee to the number of points given to the player can be set as appropriate. For example, it may be defined according to the number of browsing of the above-mentioned game shop information (the number of accesses to the home page on which the above-mentioned game shop information is posted). In this case, the second system usage fee of an appropriate amount can be calculated further according to the number of browsing of the game shop information.

  When the prize exchange means is configured so that the prize can be charged via the viewing state of the amusement shop information as described above, the usage fee management terminal responds to the number of times the amusement shop information is browsed. The first system usage fee can be calculated for a certain amount, and the first system usage fee can be commensurate with the posting effect of the game store information. According to the game store information posting agency system, when the exchange of prizes is made frequently and the viewing of the game store information increases, the first system use fee becomes high. On the other hand, when there are few prize exchanges and there is little browsing of the game shop information, the first system usage fee is low.

  According to the game store information posting agency system, it is possible to calculate the first system usage fee in an amount commensurate with the effect of the game store information posting. Therefore, the amusement store can secure a high cost-effectiveness of the posting cost of the amusement store information and can effectively use management resources. On the other hand, on the side that manages the information server terminal, it is possible to collect the system usage fee in an amount commensurate with the posting effect of the game store information.

Moreover, it is preferable that the information server terminal stores the game store information related to two or more of the game stores (claim 4).
In this case, the game store information can be posted efficiently by managing the game store information related to a plurality of the game stores by the information server terminal.

If a plurality of the game store information is collected in the information server terminal, it is possible to enhance the attractiveness of a site or the like on which the game store information is posted, and to increase the utilization of the game store information. Then, the operation of the entire agency service posting system can be improved.
Furthermore, when setting the points common to a plurality of game stores, the scale of the point server terminal can be expanded, and the assortment of the prizes that can be exchanged according to the points can be expanded. The appeal can be further enhanced.

Example 1
This example is an example related to the agency service information posting agency system 1. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.
The game store information posting agency system 1 (hereinafter referred to as the publication agency system 1 as appropriate) of this example stores information about the game store information in a state where it can be browsed through the public communication line 100 as shown in FIG. There are a server terminal 11, a store visit detecting means 21 for detecting the visit of a player, a game store terminal 20 for transmitting store visit information relating to the player detected by the store visit detecting means 21, and the game store terminal 20. A point management unit 121 that gives points to the player based on the received store visit information, a point server terminal 12 having a prize exchange unit 122 for the player to request a prize using the points, and the game store information And a usage fee management terminal 13 for calculating a system usage fee charged to the amusement store.
The usage fee management terminal 13 uses the first system usage according to the quantity of points redeemed for prizes as at least part of the system usage fee charged to the amusement shop information related to the amusement shop information browsed when claiming premiums. The fee is calculated.
This content will be described in detail below.

  The posting agency system 1 of this example is a system including a server terminal 10 and an amusement shop terminal 20 connected in a communicable state via a public communication line 100 such as the Internet, as shown in FIGS. is there. The server terminal 10 is configured by configuring the functions of the information server terminal 11, the point server terminal 12, and the usage fee management terminal 13 on common hardware.

  In the posting agency system 1, a player can access the information server terminal 11 and the point server terminal 12 made by the server terminal 10 from a user terminal 30 operated from a home or the like. In addition to the personal computer terminal, the user terminal 30 includes a mobile phone and a game machine having a communication function. Furthermore, the server terminal 10 and the gaming terminal 20 can be connected via a dedicated communication line.

  Furthermore, in this example, the information server terminal 11, the point server terminal 12, and the usage charge management terminal 13 are configured on common hardware, but instead, the functions of each terminal are individually configured on separate hardware. In addition, the functions of each terminal can be selectively combined.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the information server terminal 11 has a storage area 110 storing game store information for each game store. The game store information stored in the storage area 110 by the information server terminal 11 includes, for example, information on the gaming machine 22 such as model information of models installed in the game store, information on game data, and information on the best stand, for example. There is information about event sales at amusement stores, such as “This Friday is a new stand replacement!”.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the information server terminal 11 presents the above-mentioned amusement shop information on the hall homepage 115 that can be viewed from the user terminal 30 or the like via the public communication line 100. As shown in FIG. 3, the hall home page 115 displays the name display column 115N of the game store (game store A in the figure), the event display column 115E displaying the event sales of the game store, and the game data for each model. The game data display column 115G is combined.

  Furthermore, the hall homepage 115 of this example is provided with a “exchange prize” button 115B. This “exchange prize” button 115B is an operation button for displaying a prize exchange homepage 125 (see FIG. 4) which is a presentation screen of the point server terminal 12. In this example, the prize exchange homepage 125 constituting the prize exchange means 122 can be used through the browsing state of the hall homepage 115 on which the game shop information is posted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the point server terminal 12 includes point management means 121 for managing the number of points earned by a player and prize exchange means 122 for exchanging the points for prizes.
The prize exchange means 122 is configured to present a prize exchange homepage 125 on the display screen of the user terminal 30 as shown in FIG. The player can claim a favorite prize within the range of the remaining points by an operation on the prize exchange homepage 125.

  Here, the free gift exchange home page 125 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the free gift exchange home page 125 requests an individual exchange column 125D for displaying a member exchange ID for each player, name, number of remaining points, and last exchange date which is the latest free gift exchange date, and free gift exchange. The prize request field 125R, the progress display field 125S for displaying the progress status of the prize exchange, and the confirmation button 125C for final confirmation as to whether or not to exchange the prize are combined.

  On the free gift exchange home page 125, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a favorite free gift can be selected within the range of the remaining points read from the point server terminal 12. A prize requiring an exchange point exceeding the remaining points is set so that it cannot be selected on the prize exchange homepage 125. As a result, the posting agency system 1 of the present example is configured so that a prize exchange exceeding the number of remaining points cannot be requested.

  In the posting agency system 1 of this example, when the confirmation button 125C on the premium exchange homepage 125 viewed from the user terminal 30 is operated, the member ID is selected from the user terminal 30 toward the point server terminal 12. The prize exchange data including the prize, the number, and the required number of exchange points is transmitted.

As described above, the point management unit 121 is a unit for managing points for gift exchange. The point management means 121 of this example manages points by two methods for each player and for each prize exchange history.
In order to manage the points for each player, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the point management means 121 includes a first number of store visits, acquired points, unsent exchange points, exchange points, and remaining points. Member records are managed for each member ID.

  In FIG. 5, the number of acquired points is the cumulative number of points given by 80 points for each visit to the store. The number of exchange points is the number of points exchanged for prizes. The number of unsent points is the number of points that have not been sent to the game shop terminal 20 among the points exchanged for prizes. The number of remaining points is the number obtained by subtracting the number of exchange points from the number of acquired points, and is the number of points that can be exchanged for a prize. In this example, the first member record is managed for each amusement store, but instead, it may be managed collectively at all amusement stores that form a group.

  Further, the point management means 121 manages the points for each prize exchange history, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the member ID of the exchanged player, the type of exchanged prize, and the number of points required for exchange. It manages a prize exchange history record consisting of the number of exchange points and the number of remaining points of the player.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, in the point management means 121 of this example, a delivery completion flag for managing whether or not the prize has been sent is provided in each of the prize exchange history records. Here, it is also possible to extract only the prize exchange history record in which the dispatched flag is zero, that is, the prize has not been dispatched, and create the unsent list. Furthermore, in this example, the prize exchange history record is managed for each amusement store, but instead, it can be managed collectively at all amusement stores that form a group.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the usage fee management terminal 13 calculates the first system usage fee and the second system usage fee as system usage fees. Here, the first system usage fee is a system usage fee generated when a prize is exchanged. As this first system usage fee, a fee corresponding to the number of exchange points exchanged for prizes is calculated. As the second system usage fee, a fee corresponding to a fee point accumulated by 20 points as a fee when a point is given to the player's visit is calculated.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the usage fee management terminal 13 has 20 points per game store, the number of times the player visits each day, the total number of points given to the player, and 20 points per visit. The number of commission points, the number of exchange points used for prize exchange, and the number of remaining points that can be used for prize exchange in the future are managed.

  The number of visits to the store in FIG. 7 represents the total number of visits by the player, that is, the number of points given. The number of points given represents the total number of points given 80 points per person as a visit service. The number of fee points represents the total number of points collected from the game store every time points are given to the player.

  In the posting agency system 1 of this example, an amount corresponding to the number of exchange points is calculated as the first system usage fee. Further, an amount corresponding to the number of commission points is calculated as the second system usage fee. In the posting agency system 1 of this example, the sum of the first system usage fee and the second system usage fee is calculated as the system usage fee collected from the game store. Here, the sum of the portion of the first system usage fee excluding the purchase cost of the premium and the second system usage fee can be profitable.

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 8, and FIG. 9, the gaming store terminal 20 is connected in a state where it can communicate with each gaming machine 22 and the card-issuing machine 26 via an intranet 200 that is a communication line in the gaming store. Has been. A stand lamp 24 for displaying game data and an individual information terminal 23 having a ball lending function are individually installed for each gaming machine 22.

  Each gaming machine 22 is connected to the intranet 200 via the repeater 25 together with the stand lamp 24 and the individual information terminal 23. The game shop terminal 20 is connected to the intranet 200 via a first communication port (not shown) and is connected to the public communication line 100 via a second communication port (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 8, the individual information terminal 23 inserts a coin insertion slot 231 into which to pay a ball rental fee, a ball nozzle 232 for supplying the ball rental to the gaming machine 22, an individual display monitor 233, and a membership card 210. And a card slit 230 for carrying out. In particular, the individual information terminal 23 of this example includes a store visit detecting means 21. The individual information terminal 23 is configured to transmit the member ID of the player detected by the store visit detecting means 21 to the game store terminal 20.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the store visit detecting means 21 uses a member card 210 issued by the card ticketing machine 26. The card-issuing machine 26 is installed in a game store so that the member card 210 can be issued to a player who has submitted a “customer data sheet”, for example. The member card 210 is provided with an IC chip (not shown) that stores a member ID for identifying the owner player. Instead of the IC chip, a membership card provided with a magnetic area for storing the membership ID can be adopted.

  The store visit detecting means 21 is configured to read the member ID from the member card 210 inserted into the card slit 230 and transmit the read member ID to the amusement shop terminal 20 when a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is. In this example, as the predetermined condition, it was set that 1000 yen worth of balls was generated. That is, the player's visit was judged based on the occurrence of 1000 yen worth of balls.

  The predetermined condition may be set such that the out number of the gaming machine 22 exceeds a predetermined value set in advance. In this example, conditions such as the number of outs are set as described above in order to exclude players who visit the store only for the purpose of acquiring points. Instead of this, the predetermined condition may be set so that points are also given to a player who visits the store only for the purpose of acquiring points. For example, if the predetermined condition is that a card is inserted into the card slit 230, points can be given to a player who inevitably leaves because there is no empty space.

The store visit detecting means 21 does not need to be provided for each game machine, and can be installed, for example, at a game shop counter or resting place. In this case, as described above, it becomes unavoidable that points are easily given to the player who leaves the store. Furthermore, the store visit detecting means 21 can be incorporated in the counter. Thus, as the store visit detection means 21, various forms can be adopted as long as it can detect the visit of the player.
Further, in this example, the visit of each player was detected up to once per day. As a result, on the same business day of the same game store, the same player is prevented from being repeatedly given points for visiting the store.

  Further, the game shop terminal 20 of this example includes point management means 201 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the point management means 201 manages the number of player points for each player. For each player identified by the member ID, the point management means 201 includes a name, a point flag representing the player who detected the visit, a number of visits, the number of points earned, the number of exchange points, the number of remaining points, etc. Manage membership records.

  The point flag in FIG. 10 is for managing a player who has detected a store visit. In this example, 1 is set as the flag value for the player who has detected a visit to the store. The number of visits to the store represents the total number of visits by the player, that is, the number of points given. The number of acquired points represents the total number of points given. The number of exchange points represents the number of points used for exchanging for prizes among the given points. The remaining point number represents the difference between the number of acquired points and the number of exchange points, that is, the number of points that can be used for prize exchange.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, the amusement shop terminal 20 is configured to transmit the second member record with the point flag set to 1 to the point server terminal 12. In this example, the second member records are transmitted together at a predetermined time every business day, and then the point flag is reset to zero. As described above, in this example, whether the second member record relating to the visitor who has visited the store has been transmitted or not transmitted is managed using the point flag.

  Next, operation | movement of the publication agency system 1 of this example comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated using FIGS. 11-14. Here, first, the overall framework of the posting agency system 1 will be outlined using FIG. 11, and then the flow of processing by each terminal constituting the posting agency system 1 will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. explain.

  First, the framework of the posting agency system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows the relationship between the HP management company 19 that manages the hall homepage 115 (FIG. 3), the game store 29 that entrusts the management of the hall homepage 115 to the HP management company 19, and the player 39 who views the hall homepage 115. The framework of the posting agency system 1 is shown as an example. Here, the HP management company 19 corresponds to the server terminal 10 of FIG. Further, the game store 29 corresponds to the game store terminal 20 of FIG. 1, and the player 39 corresponds to the user terminal 30.

The arrow E in FIG. 3 represents the viewing of the hall homepage 115 by the player or the claiming of a prize on the prize exchange homepage 125.
The arrow F in the figure represents the flow of sending the prize requested on the prize exchange homepage 125 to the player.

Next, the processing flow of the game shop terminal 20 and the server terminal 10 constituting the posting fee billing system 1 will be described.
The game store terminal 20 performs a data transmission process P1 (FIG. 12) for transmitting the member ID and the like of the player who has visited the store to the server terminal 10. The server terminal 10 performs a prize exchange data reception process P2 (FIG. 13) for receiving prize exchange data from the user terminal 30 and a game shop data reception process P3 (FIG. 14) corresponding to the data transmission process P1.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the data transmission process P1, the amusement shop terminal 20 first reaches the predetermined time, which is a time for establishing a communication state between the amusement shop terminal 20 and the server terminal 10, as in step S101. It is determined whether or not. When the predetermined time is reached, a new member record, which is member data of a newly registered player, is extracted from the second member record (FIG. 10) as in step S102, and as a point flag as in step S103. A member record in which 1 is set is extracted.

  In the subsequent step S104, the second member record (FIG. 10) extracted in step S102 or step S103 is transmitted to the server terminal 10. In step S105, the point flag is reset to zero for the second member record having the point flag of 1. Further, in step S106, the number of visits and the number of earned points are updated for the second member record (FIG. 10) with the point flag reset to zero, that is, the member record that has been transmitted to the server terminal 10. Specifically, for the target member record, 1 is added to the number of visits to the store, and 80 points are added as the number of acquired points.

  Thereafter, as in step S107, it is determined whether or not data indicating that a prize exchange has been received from the server terminal 10 has been received. When data indicating that a free gift exchange has been received is received, as in step S108, the number of exchange points of the member record corresponding to the data indicating that a free gift exchange has been received among the second member records (FIG. 10). And the remaining point number is updated.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the free gift exchange data receiving process P2, the server terminal 10 first determines whether or not the free gift exchange data has been received from the user terminal 30 as in step S201. When receiving the free gift exchange data from the user terminal 30, the number of exchange points and the remaining number of points in the member record corresponding to the free gift exchange data in the first member record (FIG. 5) are updated (step S202). .

  Furthermore, as in step S203, the number of unsent exchange points in the member record corresponding to the premium exchange data in the first member record (FIG. 5) is updated. Thereafter, as in step S204, a new record based on the newly received free gift exchange data is added to the free gift exchange history record (FIG. 6).

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the game store data reception process P3, the server terminal 10 first starts the second member record from the game store terminal 20 based on the data transmission process P1 (FIG. 10, hereinafter referred to as reception data). Is determined (step S301). When the received data is received from the game shop terminal 20 and the received data is for a newly registered player, the first server managed by the point server terminal 12 as in step S302. A new record is added to the member record (FIG. 5).

  In step S303, the number of visits and the number of exchange points of the member record corresponding to the received data from the game shop terminal 20 in the first member record (FIG. 5) are updated (step S303). In step S304, a member record whose non-sent exchange points are not zero is extracted from the first member record (FIG. 5).

  After that, as in step S305, the extracted first member record (FIG. 5) is transmitted to the game shop terminal 20, and as in step S306, unsent exchange points in the first member record are reset to zero. To do. In addition, in the game shop terminal 20 which received this 1st member record, the exchange point and remaining point number in the said 2nd member record (FIG. 10) were updated.

  As described above, according to the publishing agency system 1 of this example, browsing of the hall homepage 115 can be promoted by combining the premium exchange service, and the first system usage fee corresponding to the viewing frequency of the hall homepage 115 is promoted. Can be calculated. Therefore, according to the publishing agency system 1 of this example, it is possible to charge a system usage fee of an appropriate amount commensurate with the effect of attracting customers of the hall homepage 115 on which the game shop information is posted.

In addition to the products, etc., the premiums in this example may include provision of content such as premier video such as big hits of gaming machines, and provision of a member registration fee reduction or exemption service for viewing the hall homepage. .
Furthermore, in this example, the player is specified by the member ID recorded on the member card 210, but instead, the player may be specified by biometric information such as fingerprints, irises and veins.

  As a condition for giving points when visiting the store, it may be set whether or not the player has correctly entered the lucky number on the hall homepage 115 into the individual information terminal. In this case, the player can be motivated to view the hall homepage 115 before visiting the store.

In this example, points are managed for each amusement store, but instead, points can be shared by a plurality of amusement stores belonging to the group or nationwide amusement stores.
Furthermore, while the points are shared by a plurality of game stores, the system usage fee may be set as an independent settlement for each game store. In this case, for example, the first system usage fee can be charged to the amusement shop related to the hall homepage 115 browsed in the process of using the premium exchange homepage 125. Furthermore, the first system usage fee is charged to the game store designated by the player in advance when exchanging prizes, or the points of the grant date and time are digested in order from exchanging prizes. A method of charging the first system usage fee to a game store to which points are given is also conceivable.
