  Furthermore, in the table information management table 633, the number of coins stacked for each denomination (10000 yen, 5000 yen, 2000 yen, 1000 yen, 500 yen, 100 yen) in the inter-unit processing unit 20 and the stack of cards Information on the number of copies, the amount of replay sales, and the number of replay sales is also managed.

Among the information of the above items, the unit number, game type, main body ID, and frame ID are registered when the inter-unit processing unit 20 is installed. Collected and updated sequentially while accepting and performing processing,
Here, collection and update processing of each item information other than the table number, game type, main body ID, and frame ID in the table information management table 633 will be described in association with the configuration and operation of the inter-unit processing unit 20 shown in FIG. .

  In the inter-unit processing unit 20, when either a prepaid card or a membership card is inserted into the card processing unit 22 by the player, the card processing unit 22 selects the card type [general card (prepaid card (prepaid card)) from the inserted card. ) Or information indicating whether it is a member card] and the card ID are read out and sent to the T / C 60 through the interface (I / F) unit 28.

  In the T / C 60, when the card type and the card ID are received from the inter-unit processing unit 20 through the communication I / F unit 66, the prepaid card management table 631 or the member management table corresponding to the card type (prepaid card or member card). The remaining number corresponding to the card ID is read from 632 and transmitted to the inter-unit processing unit 20.

  The inter-unit processing unit 20 receives the remaining number sent from the T / C 60 and displays it on the display unit 21.

  Thereafter, when the player performs a lending operation in which the lending button provided on the operation unit 25 is pressed, the inter-unit processing unit 20 sends a lending request for a lending frequency set in advance to the T / C 60 together with the card ID. Send it out.

  When the T / C 60 receives the lending request from the inter-unit processing unit 20, the T / C 60 checks the remaining frequency corresponding to the card ID in the corresponding table. If the lending request frequency is within the remaining frequency range, the T / C 60 grants the lending permission. The inter-unit processing unit 20 is notified.

  When the lending processing unit 20 is notified of the lending permission from the T / C 60, the inter-unit processing unit 20 drives the game medium throwing mechanism (the ball throwing mechanism 150 in the pachinko machine 10 as illustrated in FIG. 2). A lending process for throwing out game media (balls) for the number of times of lending to the gaming machine 10 is performed.

  On the other hand, in the T / C 60, after sending out the lending permission, the number of lending permission is subtracted from the remaining number corresponding to the card ID in the corresponding table, and the value is updated.

  Next, the T / C 60 checks whether the card type is a general card or a membership card, and checks whether the frequency subtraction at this time is performed for a general issue or a debit issue, The frequency of lending at this time is converted into a monetary amount, and the monetary amount is converted into a sales amount, and a process of accumulatively adding it to the corresponding area of the table information management table 633 (see FIG. 7) corresponding to the inter-unit processing unit 20 is performed.

  Here, if the card type is general and the frequency subtraction target is a general issue amount, the amount of money obtained by converting the above-mentioned loan frequency is set as the sales amount for the inter-unit deposit, and the inter-unit deposit in the unit information management table 633 The value is updated by accumulatively adding to the “general” column in the sales amount, and the value is updated by adding “1” to the “general” column in the number of sales between units in the table 633. .

  If the card type is general and the frequency subtraction target is the debit issue amount, the debit issue sales amount in the table information management table 633 is set as the debit issue sales amount obtained by converting the frequency of the loan. In addition, the value is updated by accumulatively adding to the “general” column in the table, and the value is updated by adding “1” to the “general” column in the debit issue sales count of the table 633.

  If the card type is a member and the frequency subtraction target is a general issue amount, the amount obtained by converting the frequency of the loan is the sales amount for the inter-unit deposit, and the inter-unit deposit amount of the unit information management table 633 The value is updated by accumulatively adding to the “member” column in the sales amount, and the value is updated by adding “1” to the “member” column in the number of sales between the units in the table 633.

  If the card type is a member and the frequency subtraction target is a debit issue amount, the debit issue sales amount in the table information management table 633 is set as the debit issue sales amount obtained by converting the loan frequency. In addition, the value is updated by accumulatively adding to the “member” column in the table, and the value is updated by adding “1” to the “member” column in the number of sales of debit issued in the same table 633.

  In this way, the inter-unit processing unit 20 performs a process of accepting a prepaid card or a membership card and renting game media using the valuable value valued on the card, while the T / C 60 is processed by the player. Processing data of lending processing performed by the inter-unit processing unit 30 each time a lending operation is performed (inter-unit deposit sales and sales count, debit issue sales and sales count) are sequentially displayed on the base information management table 633. , Collect and update.

  When the remaining number of inserted cards becomes “0” during the game, the player adds, for example, cash (banknotes) to the inserted card by adding the value of the inserted cash. Then, the same game can be continued using this valuable value.

  In this case, when cash (for example, banknote) is thrown into the banknote processing unit 23 by the player, the inter-unit processing unit 20 recognizes the amount of the inserted banknote in the banknote processing unit 23 and displays the amount information on the T / On the other hand, the T / C 60 receives the input amount information, and adds the frequency for the amount to the corresponding table corresponding to the card ID.

  Next, based on the amount information received from the inter-unit processing unit 20, the T / C 60 sets the amount as an inter-unit deposit amount and sets the inter-unit amount in the unit information management table 633 corresponding to the inter-unit processing unit 20. Performs cumulative addition to the column.

  Here again, it is checked whether the card type is a general card or a membership card. If the card type is a general card, the above inter-unit payment amount is cumulatively added to the “general” column in the inter-unit payment amount of the table information management table 633. In addition, “1” is cumulatively added to the “general” column in the number of deposits between vehicles in the table 633.

  If the card type is a membership card, the inter-unit deposit amount is cumulatively added to the “member” column in the inter-unit deposit amount of the unit information management table 633, and the number of inter-unit deposits in the table 633 “1” is cumulatively added to the “member” column in FIG.

  The above processing is performed not only for banknotes but also when coins are inserted into the coin processing unit 24, whereby the inter-unit processing unit 20 can perform value by inserting banknotes.

  Thereafter, every time a game is played using the value valued by this cash input, the T / C 60 sequentially updates the sales amount for the inter-unit deposit and the sales amount for the inter-unit deposit by the above-described processing method.

  As described above, during a game in which a prepaid card or a membership card is received in the inter-unit processing unit 20, the player presses the discharge button provided on the operation unit 25 with the valuable value of these cards remaining. Then, the inter-unit processing unit 20 ejects the card from the card processing unit 22.

  The player can use the discharged card, for example, to move to the next inter-unit processing unit 20 and play a game similar to the above in the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the unit 20, or pay the card. It can be inserted into the machine 50 and the valuable value can be settled in cash.

  Further, when the “replay” button is pressed on the operation unit 25 after accepting the insertion of the member card, the inter-unit processing unit 20 issues a storage withdrawal request together with the card type and card ID read from the member card to T / C60. To send.

  When the T / C 60 receives the savings withdrawal request from the inter-unit processing unit 20, the T / C 60 reads the number of accumulated balls corresponding to the card ID in the member management table 632 and sends the remaining number corresponding to the accumulated number of balls to the inter-unit processing unit 20. Send.

  When the inter-unit processing unit 20 receives the remaining frequency from the T / C 60, the inter-unit processing unit 20 displays the value on the display unit 21.

  Thereafter, when the player performs a gaming medium lending operation in the inter-unit processing unit 20, the inter-unit processing unit 20 includes a deduction of the stored amount including the number of deduction requests corresponding to the frequency of the preset lending frequency. The request is sent to the T / C 60 together with the card ID.

  When the T / C 60 receives the savings withdrawal request, the T / C 60 checks the number of savings corresponding to the card ID in the member management table 632. Notify unit 20.

  When the inter-unit processing unit 20 is notified of the lending permission from the T / C 60, the ball throwing mechanism 150 is driven and the gaming medium (balls) for the lending frequency for one time is supplied to the gaming machine (pachinko machine) 10. Perform lending processing.

  On the other hand, in T / C 60, after sending out the lending permission, the number of stored balls corresponding to the number of times of lending permission is subtracted from the number of stored balls corresponding to the card ID in the member management table 632 to update the value.

  Next, the T / C 60 converts the number of stored balls at this time into a monetary amount, and cumulatively adds the monetary amount to the replay sales amount column of the unit information management table 633 corresponding to the inter-unit processing unit 20. The replay sales amount is updated and “1” is added to the replay sales number column of the table 633 to update the replay sales number.

  Through the above processing, the T / C 60, as processing data based on the card usage in the inter-unit processing unit 20, includes the inter-unit deposit amount corresponding to the total deposit amount in cash, the number of deposits, and the inter-unit deposit amount. Replay sales, which are cumulative sales due to replays using storage balls valued in accordance with the amount of sales received between players and the number of sales, and the card ID of the membership card The amount and number of sales can be collected and managed.

  On the other hand, the inter-unit processing unit 20 recognizes the denomination of the cash when cash for value addition to the prepaid card or the membership card is inserted during the operation as described above using the card by the player. It is accommodated in a money stack part (indicated by reference numerals 231 and 241 in FIG. 2) provided to accompany the banknote processing part 23 and the coin processing part 24, respectively.

  The money stack unit is provided with means (not shown) for detecting the number of money (banknotes and coins) for each denomination, and when the number of stacks for each denomination is changed, The detected number of stacks after change is sent to the T / C 60.

  Each time the T / C 60 receives the number of stacks, the T / C 60 sequentially updates the number of deposit stacks for each denomination in the table information management table 633 corresponding to the inter-unit processing unit 20 for each denomination received the change notification at this time. (Addition or subtraction).

  By this processing, the T / C 60 can manage the number of stacks of each money denomination in each inter-unit processing unit 20 on the base information management table 633 corresponding to each inter-unit processing unit 20.

  In addition, the inter-unit processing unit 20 previously stores a predetermined number of prepaid cards that are not valued in a card stack portion (indicated by reference numeral 221 in FIG. 2).

  The number of cards stored in the card stack unit 221 is adjusted to a prescribed number (for example, 10) by a staff member, for example, during the closing time. At that time, the value of the prescribed number is written as the number of card stacks in the corresponding area of the storage unit 26 of the inter-unit processing unit 20 and the number of card stacks is notified to the T / C 60 to correspond to the inter-unit processing unit 20. Is written in the column of the number of card stacks in the table information management table 633.

  The inter-unit processing unit 20 that stores a predetermined number of pre-paid cards that are not valued in advance, after the store is opened, during the operation of the gaming system, the player inserts cash without inserting the pre-paid card in advance. Is received, one prepaid card is withdrawn from the stored prepaid card, the card ID is read from the card, and the card ID and the inserted amount information are sent to the T / C 60.

  Upon receiving the card ID and the inserted amount information from the inter-unit processing unit 20, the T / C 60 writes the frequency corresponding to the inserted amount in the remaining number column corresponding to the card ID in the prepaid card management table 631 (addition). To do).

  Thereafter, the T / C 60 uses the card ID as the card ID for each rent of the game medium, as in the case where the player plays a game by inserting a prepaid card into the inter-unit processing unit 20. A process of updating by subtracting from the corresponding frequency is performed.

  Thereafter, when the player presses the return button with the remaining number remaining, the inter-unit processing unit 20 discharges (issues) the prepaid card. Until the return button is pressed, the remaining number may be managed by the ID of the inter-unit processing unit 20, and may be managed by the card ID when the return button is pressed.

  When the prepaid card is discharged under such circumstances, the inter-unit processing unit 20 subtracts “1” from the number of card stacks stored in the storage unit 26 and notifies the T / C 60 of the subtraction result.

  Upon receiving the notification of the subtraction result, the T / C 60 updates the card stack number column of the table information management table 633 corresponding to the inter-unit processing unit 20 to the notified value.

  In such operation (in the case of accepting cash without accepting a prepaid card in advance and discharging a prepaid card in which the frequency is recorded), the T / C 60 then inserts cash as described above. For each time, the input amount and the number of times of addition are added to the “general” columns of the inter-unit deposit amount and the inter-unit deposit count in the table information management table corresponding to the inter-unit processing unit 20, respectively, and update processing is performed.

  In the inter-unit processing unit 20, when a prepaid card is inserted and processing relating to a game is performed, the operation unit 25 is operated by the player in a situation where the remaining number of inserted cards becomes “zero”. When the end button provided on the card is pressed, or when the next prepaid card is inserted, a process of taking the card being inserted into the card stack unit 221 is performed, and the number of cards loaded is equal to the number of cards stacked. In each case, the addition result is notified to the T / C 60.

  Then, when notified of the addition result, the T / C 60 sequentially updates the card stack number column in the table information management table 633 to the notified value.

  By this processing, the T / C 60 can manage the number of prepaid card stacks in each inter-unit processing unit 20 on the table information management table 633 corresponding to each unit.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the settlement machine information management table 634 provided in the storage unit 63 of the T / C 60.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the T / C 60 uses the settlement machine information management table 634 (provided for each settlement machine 50), and for each settlement machine 50 arranged in the game store, In relation to the machine number (in this example, “0801”), its operating state, information relating to the settlement within the settlement period (for example, the day of the game), information relating to the settlement in the renewal period after the settlement period, the renewal period It manages information related to settlement in the relief period after the period.

  Specifically, as the information related to the settlement in the normal settlement period, the settlement amount and the number of settlements of the inter-bank deposit, the settlement amount of the debit issue and the settlement number are managed separately for the general and members.

  In the T / C 60, the management processing of information related to the settlement in the normal settlement period can be realized by performing the following processing with the settlement machine 50. This management process will be described with reference to the configuration and operation of the settlement machine 50 shown in FIG.

  In the checkout machine 50 having the configuration shown in FIG. 4, when either a prepaid card or a membership card is inserted into the card processing unit 51 by the player, the card type and card ID are read from the inserted card and communicated. The data is sent to the T / C 60 via the interface (I / F) unit 58.

  When the T / C 60 receives the card type and the card ID from the settlement machine 50 via the communication I / F unit 66, the T / C 60 corresponds to the card ID from the prepaid management table 631 or the member management table 632 corresponding to the card type. The remaining frequency in the remaining frequency column (general remaining frequency column or debit issue remaining frequency column) is read out and sent to the settlement machine 50.

  When the settlement machine 50 receives the remaining number of times regarding the card being inserted from the T / C 60, it displays an amount corresponding to the remaining number on the liquid crystal display unit 52.

  In this state, when the player performs a settlement operation for pressing the settlement button 53, the settlement machine 50 sends a settlement request together with the card ID to the T / C 60.

  When the T / C 60 receives the above settlement request from the settlement machine 50, the T / C 60 reads the issue date corresponding to the card ID from the corresponding table and checks whether it is within the regular settlement period. After the residual frequency in the residual frequency column corresponding to the ID is updated to “zero”, a settlement permission instruction is sent to the settlement machine 50.

  On the other hand, when the settlement machine 50 receives the settlement permission command from the T / C 60, the settlement unit 50 receives the money for the amount displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 52 (the amount corresponding to the remaining frequency previously notified from the T / C 60). For each denomination, a settlement process is performed for discharging from the banknote processing unit 55 and the money processing unit 56 to the outside (to the player).

  After the settlement process is completed (after the settlement permission command is transmitted), the T / C 60 checks whether the card type notified from the settlement machine 50 together with the settlement request is a general card or a member card, and the current settlement target frequency is It is checked whether it is a general issue or a debit issue (whether the remaining frequency in the general remaining frequency column has been settled or the remaining frequency in the debit issued remaining frequency column has been settled), and based on the result of the check Update processing related to the payment information within the normal period in the payment machine information management table 634 corresponding to the machine 50 is performed.

  In this update process, if the card type is a general card and the adjustment target frequency is equal to the general frequency, the T / C 60 calculates the amount of payment for inter-unit payment in the adjustment type = “adjustment” in the adjustment machine information management table 634. The value of the payment amount is added to the “general” column, and “1” is added to the column of the number of payments between units in the table 634.

  If the card type is a member and the frequency to be settled is equal to the general frequency, the settlement amount in the “Member” column of the settlement amount in the settlement machine information management table 634 of “settlement” is set in the “member” column. The value is added, and “1” is added to the column of the number of payments between units in the table 634.

  If the card type is a general card and the settlement target frequency is for debit issuance, the settlement is entered in the “general” column of the settlement amount of the debit issuance in the settlement machine information management table 634 “settlement”. The value of the amount is added, and “1” is added to the column of the number of debit issue settlements in the table 634.

  Further, if the card type is a membership card and the amount to be settled is a debit issue, the settlement is entered in the “Member” column of the settlement type = “settlement” in the settlement machine information management table 634. The value of the amount is added, and “1” is added to the column of the number of debit issue settlements in the table 634.

  With the above processing, the T / C 60 is the settlement information within the regular settlement period in each settlement machine 50, the settlement amount and the number of payments between the units, the settlement amount and the number of debit issuances, and the total settlement amount (the above unit amount) Settlement machine information management table corresponding to each settlement machine 50 with the total settlement amount and debit issuance settlement amount), and the card settlement count (the total value of the above inter-unit deposit settlement and debit issuance settlement). 634 can be managed.

  Further, the T / C 60 issues an issue date corresponding to the card ID when a payment request is sent from the payment machine 50 by the player inserting a card into the payment machine 50 and pressing the payment button 53. Is read from the corresponding table, and when it is determined that the normal checkout period has ended and is within the update period based on the issuance date, After the same process as the settlement process, the settlement information [update amount and number of inter-unit payments, the number of times, debit issuance amount within the renewal period in the settlement machine 50 on the settlement machine information management table 634 corresponding to the settlement machine 50. Renewal amount and number of times, total renewal amount (total value of the above-mentioned inter-unit deposit renewal amount and debit issue renewal amount), card renewal number (total value of the above-mentioned inter-unit payment renewal amount and debit issuance renewal amount) Settlement mechanism in Figure 8 In the management table 634, settlement type = storing section reference] of "update" generally and another member, it can be managed.

  In addition, when checking the card issue date at the time of receipt of the payment request from the payment machine 50, the T / C 60 determines that the renewal period has passed and the rescue period has been started based on the card issue date. In some cases, after the remedy by the clerk at the checkout machine 50 (for example, by operating the handy terminal 57), the information on the remedy (the number of remedies) is collected to deal with the checkout machine 50. On the settlement machine information management table 634 to be settled, the settlement information in the settlement machine 50 within the relief period (the number of relief payments for inter-bank payments, the number of reliefs for debit issuance, and the number of card reliefs, which is the total of these times: FIG. In the settlement machine information management table 634, the settlement type = see “Relief” column) can be stored and managed separately for general members and members.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the ticket vending machine information management table 635 provided in the storage unit 63 of the T / C 60.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the T / C 60 uses the ticket vending machine information management table 635 (provided for each debit ticket vending machine 40) to sell the ticket vending machine for each debit ticket vending machine 40 arranged in the amusement store. In association with the machine number of the machine (in this example, “0701”), the operation status, debit issuance amount, debit issuance frequency, center approximate fee, and information on debit equipment use are managed for each general and member.

  In the T / C 60, management processing of each information in the ticket vending machine information management table 632 can be realized by performing the following processing with the debit ticket vending machine 40. This management process will be described with reference to the configuration and operation of the debit ticket vending machine 40 shown in FIG.

  In the debit ticket vending machine 40 shown in FIG. 2, when a debit card is inserted into the debit card processing unit 47 and then an amount button of a predetermined amount is pressed on the external operation input unit 43, the settlement request for the amount is received. Are transmitted to the debit settlement center 85 through the second communication I / F unit 41a together with the card ID read from the card.

  Thereafter, upon receiving a notification of completion of debit payment for the amount corresponding to the amount button from the debit settlement center 85, the control unit 50, the unit number of the own device, the debit settlement amount, a stack unit (not shown) of the prepaid card processing unit 45 The card issue request including the card ID read from the first prepaid card accommodated in advance is transmitted to the T / C 60 through the first communication I / F unit 41b.

  In the T / C 60, when the card issue request is received from the debit ticket vending machine 40 through the communication I / F unit 66, the debit received together with the card issue request is displayed in the debit issue column corresponding to the received card ID in the prepaid management table 631. The frequency corresponding to the settlement amount is recorded, and other necessary information such as the issue date is recorded in the corresponding column, and then the card issue permission is transmitted to the debit ticket vending machine 40.

  When the debit ticket vending machine 40 receives the card issuance permission from the T / C 60, the debit ticket vending machine 40 pulls out the first prepaid card from which the card ID is read out from the stack unit of the prepaid card processing unit 45, and discharges (issues) it to the player. )

  At the same time, the T / C 60 discharges the debit card inserted in the debit card processing unit 47 and prints out a receipt on which the usage information including the debit payment amount is printed from the printing unit 48.

  In the prepaid card issuance process using the debit card, the T / C 60 stores the debit settlement amount in the “general” column of the debit issuance amount of the ticket machine information management table 635 corresponding to the number of the debit ticket machine 40. Is written as a debit issue amount, and “1” is added to the “general” column of the debit issue number in the table 635.

  Furthermore, the estimated fee of the debit settlement center 85 and the debit facility usage fee determined in advance corresponding to the debit payment amount are respectively displayed in the corresponding columns of the table 635 (the center estimated fee and the debit facility usage fee “ Write in the “General” column (see FIG. 9).

  In addition, the debit ticket vending machine 40 also accepts the membership card, and performs a process of giving a value corresponding to the amount of money by debit settlement and discharging it. In this case, the player (member) inserts the debit card into the debit card processing unit 47 of the debit ticket vending machine 40 and inserts the member card into the member card processing unit 46, and then installs it in the external operation input unit 43. Press the amount button for the desired amount.

  Thereby, the debit ticket vending machine 40 transmits a settlement request for the amount corresponding to the pressed amount button to the debit settlement center 85 through the second communication I / F unit 41a together with the card ID read from the debit card.

  After that, upon receiving a notification of completion of debit payment from the debit payment center 85, the control unit 50 includes a card number including its own device number, debit payment amount, and card ID read by the member card processing unit from the inserted member card. An issue request is transmitted to the T / C 60 through the first communication I / F unit 41b.

  When the T / C 60 receives the card issue request from the debit ticket vending machine 40 through the communication I / F unit 66, the debit received together with the card issue request is displayed in the debit issue column corresponding to the received card ID in the member management table 632. The frequency corresponding to the settlement amount is recorded, and other necessary information such as the issue date is recorded in the corresponding column, and then the card discharge permission is transmitted to the debit ticket vending machine 40.

  Upon receiving the card discharge permission from the T / C 60, the debit ticket vending machine 40 discharges the member card from the member card processing unit 46, and also outputs the debit card inserted into the debit card processing unit 47 and the debit payment amount. The issuance process from the receipt printing unit 48 on which the usage information is printed is performed.

  In the value processing by debit settlement of the membership card, the T / C 60 sets the debit settlement amount in the “Member” column of the debit issue amount of the ticket machine information management table 635 corresponding to the number of the debit ticket machine 40. The corresponding amount is written as the debit issue amount, and “1” is added to the “member” column of the debit issue number in the table 635.

  Furthermore, the estimated fee of the debit settlement center 85 and the debit facility usage fee determined in advance corresponding to the debit payment amount are respectively displayed in the corresponding columns of the table 635 (the center estimated fee and the debit facility usage fee “ Write in the “Member” column (see FIG. 9).

  Through the above processing, the T / C 60 uses the debit issuance amount, the debit issuance frequency, the debit issuance fee, and the debit facility usage fee for each debit ticket vending machine 40 to the ticket vending machine information management table 635 corresponding to each debit ticket vending machine 40. Can be managed above.

  Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 10, display processing of processing data stored and managed in the table information management table 633, the checkout machine information management table 634, and the ticket vending machine information management table 635 in the T / C 60. explain.

  In the T / C 60, in order to display the processing data of each managed device (the inter-unit processing unit 20, the debit ticket vending machine 40, the checkout machine 50), first, the T / C 60 is started (step S101) and the system Is started, and a process of transmitting / receiving data to / from each managed device through the LAN 70 is started.

  Thereafter, the data storage management control unit 611 of the T / C 60 collects processing data from each managed device (step S102), and based on the collected data, the table information management table 633 corresponding to each device. The processing (step S103) for updating the processing data of the corresponding item in the settlement machine information management table 634 and the ticket vending machine information management table 635 is sequentially performed.

  During this time, when the administrator is required to display the processing data of each device, the input device 64 is used to perform a predetermined instruction operation for instructing the display of the processing data.

  On the other hand, the T / C 60 monitors whether or not the processing data display instruction operation has been performed on the input device 64 while collecting and updating processing data (steps S102 and S103) from the respective devices (step S104). )is doing.

  Here, when the processing data display instruction operation is performed (YES in step S104), the image display control unit 612 starts with the information in the table information management table 633, the adjustment machine information management table 634, and the ticket machine information management table 635. The processing data corresponding to the search items set in advance as items to be searched are read out, and necessary data among them is aggregated to generate aggregate data of new items. Image data (image data) to be displayed in association with the arrangement of the inter-unit processing unit 20 in the game store is generated (step S105a), and the processing data is displayed on the display device 65 based on the image data. (Step S105b).

  Hereinafter, the processing data image display processing (step S105) performed in steps S105a and S105b based on the processing data display instruction operation in step S104 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 11 and FIG.

  11 and 12 are flowcharts showing details of the processing data image display processing in step S105 of FIG. 10, and particularly FIG. 12 shows main search item non-designation processing in step S251 of FIG.

  In step S201 of FIG. 11, the image display control unit 612 is based on the processing data display instruction in step S104 of FIG. 10, and the processing data image display screen that is first displayed in step S105 is shown in FIG. Thus, the hall map display screen 91 and the legend display screen 93 are displayed as images.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in this image display screen, the hall map display screen 91 shows each device in the game shop (the above-described inter-unit processing unit 20, debit ticket vending machine 40, checkout machine 50: these devices and T In addition to the device image display area 911 in which device images corresponding to the respective devices are arranged and displayed in accordance with the arrangement of / C60, a game recording medium system is constructed, for example, card deposit / sales amount display, card stack Search item designation tool 912 for selectively designating any one of the search target items from the situation and banknote stack status, and the search target area (floor) is selectively selected from the first floor (1F) or the second floor (2F), for example. A search area designation tool 913 to be designated, and a plurality of item types (same as receipt, receipt or sales amount display) A category designation tool 914 that selectively designates a desired item type from among (sales), a machine number designation tool 915 that designates identification information (unit number) of an individual search target device, and a “search” button for instructing the start of the search 916, “Legend non-display” button 917 for instructing to hide the legend display screen 93, “Zoom-in” button 918 for instructing zoom-in display, and “Zoom-out” button 919 for instructing zoom-out are displayed.

  Further, in the legend display screen 93, information (aggregation) of the search item specified by the search item specifying tool 912 (if the item type is specified by the type specifying tool 914, the specified item type in the search item). Value setting), a setting content display area 931 that displays the setting contents of the legend data that defines the correspondence between the plurality of area ranges and the display pattern (display mode: color, for example) of the device image corresponding to each area range. Then, a “setting” button 932 is displayed for instructing a setting request for the legend data.

  During display of this image display screen, the administrator uses the search item designation tool 912 on the hall map display screen 91 to search for any of the card deposit / sales amount display, card stack status, or banknote stack status. (Main search item) can be selectively specified.

  At that time, the area specification tool 913 and the type specification tool 914 are used to selectively specify the search target area (floor) and the search item type in the main search item specified by the search item specification tool 912, respectively. it can.

  On the other hand, in T / C 60, during the display of the image display screen (see FIG. 13) in step S201 of FIG. 11, the image display control unit 612 uses each tool on the hall map display screen 91 or the legend display screen 93. It is monitored whether there is any instruction input (step S202).

  If it is determined that an instruction is input (YES in step S202), the image display control unit 612 first specifies the main search item by the search item specifying tool 912 on the hole map display screen 91. It is checked whether or not (step S203).

  Here, when the instruction content is not the designation of the main search item (NO in step S203), the process proceeds to the main search item non-designation process (step S251). This main search item non-designation process will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if the instruction content input in step S202 is the specification of the main search item by the search item specifying tool 912 (YES in step S203), then the card item / sales amount display is displayed by the search item specifying tool 912. It is sequentially checked which main search item is designated in the card stack status or the banknote stack status.

  First, it is checked whether or not the designated main search item is a card deposit / sales amount display (step S204). Here, when the card deposit / sales amount display is designated (YES in step S204), Further, using the type designation tool 914, it is checked whether “payment” or “sales” is designated as the search type as the search item type (step S205).

  Here, when “payment” is designated as the search item type (payment in step S205), the image display control unit 612 determines that each of the units (inter-unit processing unit 20) in the search area = 1F at this time. The data stored in the table information management table 633 corresponding to) is checked, and the amounts stored in the “general” column and “member” column of the inter-unit payment amount for each unit are read, and these are read. The total value (card deposit amount) is calculated (aggregated) (step S206).

  Next, the device display image of each unit is determined based on the calculated card deposit amount of each unit. In order to perform this processing, the T / C 60, for example, displays the card deposit amount as less than 5000 yen (0-4,999), 5000 yen or more and 10000-10000 as displayed on the legend display screen 93 of FIG. Device images of different modes for each monetary area with respect to a delimiter for each monetary area of less than yen (5,000 to 9,999), 10,000 yen to less than 15000 yen (10,000 to 14,999),. It has a function of setting display data as legend data in association with each other.

  In the process of step S207, the image display control unit 612 determines to which amount area in the legend data the amount of money received by each card calculated in step S206 belongs, and a device corresponding to the determined amount area An image display pattern is specified and determined as the display pattern of each device image (step S207).

  Next, the image display control unit 612 displays the displayed contents of the hall map display screen 91 being displayed, and the card deposit amount search result in which each device image in the image display area 911 is represented by a display pattern determined for each device. The screen is updated (step S208).

  In FIG. 13, in particular, when the deposit / sales amount display is designated by the search item designation tool 912, the search target area = 1F is designated by the search area designation tool 913, and “deposit” is designated by the type designation tool 914. 10 shows a display example of the hole map display screen 91 and the legend display screen 93 (corresponding to the screen displayed first based on the instruction in step S104 of FIG. 10).

  In this example, the display contents of the legend display screen 93 reflect the setting contents of the legend data regarding the card deposit amount at the time, and the deposit amount (unit: yen) is (0 to 4,999), (5, 000-9,999), (10,000-14,999), (15,000-19,999), (20,000-24,999), (25,000-29,999), (30, 000-), and a state in which different apparatus image display patterns are set in association with the respective money amount areas is displayed.

  In addition, a device that is not subject to this time, and an abnormality [degenerate operation (the inter-unit processing unit 20 becomes unable to communicate with the T / C 60, receives a specific amount of money on its own device, and collects the game media for the amount of money received) A state in which a device image display pattern different from the above seven patterns is associated with a device (inter-unit processing unit 20) in which an operation state (including an operation state limited to lending) occurs) Is displayed.

  In the apparatus image display area 911 of the hall map display screen 91 displayed together with the legend display screen 93, each unit (inter-unit processing unit 20) is held in a table information management table 633 corresponding to each unit. Are displayed in the device image display pattern set corresponding to the amount area including the amount of money received between the vehicles obtained by summing up the collected information.

  In addition, non-target devices (in this example, the debit ticket machine 40 and the checkout machine 50) and the table in which an abnormality has occurred (the inter-unit processing unit 20) are set corresponding to the non-target and the abnormality, respectively. The device image display pattern is displayed.

  Here, in order to display a device in which an abnormality has occurred in a device image display pattern indicating the abnormality, the T / C 60 performs a table information management table corresponding to each device in accordance with the sum of the card deposit amount in step S207. Information indicating the status of each unit is also collected from 633, and if the collected status information indicates abnormality in the subsequent step S208, the device image display pattern of the device is determined as a display pattern corresponding to the occurrence of the abnormality. The device image is displayed in the display pattern.

  In FIG. 13, in the hall map display screen 91, the display pattern of each device image in the device image display area 911 has a line type corresponding to each amount area of the card deposit amount for convenience of expression. In addition, in the actual operation, a method of displaying in a color corresponding to each amount area of the card deposit amount can be considered.

  In FIG. 13, the device image of each device is displayed in a display pattern (color) corresponding to the amount area of the card deposit amount of each device and displayed with contents with a unit number added. The value of the card deposit amount of each device may be displayed together in the device image area of the device.

  Returning to step S205 again, if “sales” is specified as the search item type in step S205 (sales in step S205), the image display control unit 612 displays the table (unit The information stored in the table information management table 631 corresponding to the inter-processing unit 20) is checked, and the amounts stored in the “general” column and “member” column of the total sales amount for each unit are read. These total values (card sales) are calculated (aggregated) (step S209).

  Next, the device display image of each unit is determined based on the calculated card sales amount of each unit. In this process, the image display control unit 612 uses the legend data as in step S207 (however, the target at this time is a device image display pattern having a different aspect associated with each amount area of the card deposit amount). ), It is determined to which amount area in the legend data relating to the card deposit amount each card deposit amount calculated in step S209 belongs, and a device image display pattern corresponding to the determined amount area is specified. Then, the display pattern of each device is determined (step S210).

  Next, the image display control unit 612 displays the display contents of the hall map display screen 91 being displayed as card sales represented by the device image display pattern determined by each device image in the device image display area 911 for each device. The amount search result screen is updated (step S211).

  At this time, the device images of the non-target devices (in this example, the checkout machine 50 and the debit ticket vending machine 40) and the devices in which the abnormality occurred are set in correspondence with the non-target devices and the abnormality, respectively. Display with device image display pattern.

  When the description returns to step S204 again, in step S204, when the designated main search item is not the card deposit / sales amount display (step S204 NO), the image display control unit 612 then designates the designated main search. It is checked whether or not the item is the number of card stacks (step S221).

  Here, when the designated main search item is the number of card stacks (YES in step S221), the image display control unit 612 determines that each unit in the search area = 1F at this time (inter-unit processing unit 20). The data stored in the table information management table 633 corresponding to is checked and the number of card stacks for each table is read (step S222).

  Next, the display pattern of the device image of each unit is determined based on the read number of card stacks (step S223).

  In order to perform this process, the T / C 60 displays the number of card stacks as empty (for example, 0), near empty (for example, 2) as shown in the legend display screen 93 in FIG. , Appropriate values (same as 10 sheets), near full (same as 18 sheets), full (same as 20 sheets) are divided into stack number areas, and the device image display in a different mode for each stack number area. Patterns are associated and set as legend data.

  In the process of step S223, the image display control unit 612 determines to which number area in the legend data the card stack number read in step S222 belongs, and the device image display pattern corresponding to the determined number area. Is determined as the device image display pattern of each device.

  After the display pattern is determined, the image display control unit 612 sets the search item designation tool 912 to “card stack status” as shown in FIG. 14, and each device image in the device image display area 911 Each device has a hole map display screen 91 displayed by a device image display pattern determined corresponding to the area of the number of card stacks for each device, and a legend display screen 93 for displaying legend data setting contents regarding the card stack status. The card stack status search result display screen is displayed (step S224).

  In the example of FIG. 14, the display contents of the legend display screen 93 reflect the setting contents of the legend data relating to the number of card stacks at that time, and the number of card stacks is empty (for example, 0) and near empty (same as above). 2 sheets), appropriate values (same as 10 sheets), near full (same as above, 18 sheets), full (same as above, 20 sheets) are divided into five numbered areas, and each of these numbered areas has a different device. A state in which image display patterns are set in association with each other is displayed.

  In addition, a state in which device image display patterns different from the above five patterns are associated with a non-target device and a device in which an abnormality (including during degenerate operation) occurs is displayed.

  Then, on the device image display area 911 of the hall map display screen 91 displayed together with the legend display screen 93, each unit (inter-unit processing unit 20) is stored in the table information management table 633 corresponding to each unit. The device image display pattern is set in correspondence with the number area to which the number of held card stacks belongs.

  In each device image area on the device image display area 911, the corresponding device number (upper) and the total value of the processing data of each device (in this example, the number of card stacks: lower) Is displayed.

  In addition, device images of non-target devices (in this example, the debit ticket vending machine 40 and the checkout machine 50) and the table in which an abnormality has occurred (the inter-unit processing unit 20) also correspond to the non-target and abnormality, respectively. The display pattern set in this way is displayed.

  If the designated main search item is not the number of card stacks in step S221 (step S221 NO), the image display control unit 612 then checks whether the designated main search item is the number of banknote stacks. (Step S231).

  Here, when the designated main search item is the number of banknote stacks (step S231 YES), the image display control unit 612 determines that each table in the search area = 1F at this time (the inter-unit processing unit 20). The data stored in the table information management table 633 corresponding to is checked, the number of banknote stacks of each denomination for each table is read, and the total value (number of banknote stacks) is totaled (step S232).

  Next, the apparatus image display pattern of each unit is determined based on the total number of bill stacks (step S233).

  In order to perform this processing, the T / C 60, for example, displays the number of banknote stacks in the number area of the banknote stacks for each game model (pachinko or slot) as shown in the legend display screen 93 in FIG. Separation is provided, and device image display patterns having different modes are associated with each of the number of areas and set as legend data.

  In the process of step S233, the image display control unit 612 determines to which number area in the legend data the number of banknote stacks counted in step S232 belongs, and the apparatus image display pattern corresponding to the determined number area.
