Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a group whose visit to a game parlor the game parlor side wants to avoid.SOLUTION: A system for game parlors manages a personal identification number that a player inputs for a replay, associated with a member ID, compares the managed personal identification number associated with a member ID that is in a receiving state, groups the member ID with which the personal identification number is associated, and notifies thereof. A group whose visit to a game parlor the game parlor side wants to avoid issues a plurality of member IDs, however, when a player executes a replay using putout balls that the player obtains, has a game tendency to use a common personal identification number. Therefore, member IDs with which personal identification numbers are associated are grouped and notified by focusing attention on the tendency so as to detect, at high accuracy, a member of the group whose visit to the parlor the parlor side wants to avoid.

Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall system provided in a game hall.

  There may be a group of players who commit cheating on gaming machines. For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-260, an abnormality is notified when the number of shop assistants in the customer service state is a predetermined number or more at the same time due to the fact that Goto collects a plurality of shop assistants and then cheats the gaming machine. It has been proposed.

JP 2010-213988 A

  In addition to the above-mentioned Goto group, there may be a group that follows the rules of the game area and does not cheat on the gaming machine. Although this group does not cheat on gaming machines like the Goto group, although there are game halls considered to be normal players, the appearance and gaming attitude are very bad, and other regulars who enjoy the game purely Players (regular customers) may refrain from playing games near the group and refrain from visiting the game hall. Many game halls prohibit the above groups from visiting the game hall. I want to.

  However, this group does not play side by side with adjacent gaming machines like the Goto group, but tends to be scattered and played by other players, and does not attract the attention of the store clerk. It is very difficult to detect which player is a member of the above-described group in the above-described conventional system for detecting a goto group. Therefore, when it is desired to prohibit the above-mentioned group visit, the store clerk can only look around the amusement hall and find a player with a bad appearance and a bad gaming attitude.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to determine the group's gaming tendency (separate from the Goto group) that the gaming hall side wants to refrain from visiting the gaming hall. An object of the present invention is to provide a system for a game hall that can detect a player who is likely to be a member with high accuracy.

  The invention described in claim 1 is a re-game means for executing a re-game process enabling a game with an acquired value which is a game value acquired by the player, and a member ID indicating a player who has become a member of the game hall. The member management means for managing the acquired value and the personal identification number for allowing the replay processing, the operational input of the personal identification number, and the member ID can be received, and the inputted personal identification number And the password managed by the member management means, the authentication means for permitting the replay process, and the member management means managed in association with the member ID accepted by the authentication means The extraction means for extracting the personal identification number to be compared with the personal identification number extracted by the extraction means, and the member ID corresponding to the personal identification number managed in association with the member management means And grouping means for grouping, characterized in that and a notification means for performing notification processing of the player was informed target indicated by the grouped member ID by the grouping means.

  The invention described in claim 2 is capable of accepting the member ID and specifying the acquired value acquired by the player. If the acquired value is specified and the member ID is in the receiving state, It is possible to execute an acquisition value update process for updating the acquisition value managed by the member management means with the specified acquisition value, and issue acquisition information that can specify the acquisition value if the member ID is not in a reception state. An issuing means that can execute an issuing process, and a player who has executed the replaying process in the replaying means causes the issuing means to execute the general issuing process in a non-acceptance state of the member ID, or An abnormality acquisition determination means for determining whether or not an abnormality acquisition condition that is satisfied when an acquisition value equal to or higher than a preset reference value is specified in a non-acceptance state of the member ID; An abnormality ID specifying means for specifying the member ID as an abnormality ID when the member IDs corresponding to the players for which the abnormality acquisition condition is established by the determining means are grouped by the grouping means; , And the notification means performs notification processing on a player indicated by the member ID identified as the abnormality ID by the abnormality ID identification means among the grouped member IDs as a notification target. .

  The invention described in claim 3 is capable of accepting the acquired information and the member ID, and as the clearing process related to the clearing of the received acquired value, which is the acquired value specified by the received acquired information, A clearing means capable of executing a first clearing process for associating the acquired value with a prize to be exchanged, and a second clearing process for updating the acquired value managed in association with the received member ID with the received acquired value; An abnormality acquisition information specifying means for specifying, as abnormality acquisition information, the acquisition information issued by the general issuing process corresponding to the abnormality acquisition condition when it is specified that the abnormality acquisition condition is satisfied, The abnormality ID specifying means is configured such that, when the second settlement process is executed by receiving the abnormality acquisition information, the member ID that is the target of the second settlement process Identified as an abnormal ID, the notification means, and executes a notifying process a player indicated by the member ID specified as an abnormal ID by the abnormality ID identifying means as the notification target.

  The invention described in claim 4 is capable of accepting the member ID and specifying the acquired value acquired by the player. If the acquired value is specified and the member ID is in the receiving state, It is possible to execute an acquisition value update process for updating the acquisition value managed by the member management means with the specified acquisition value, and issue acquisition information that can specify the acquisition value if the member ID is not in a reception state. When the acquired value update process is executed in a state where the issuing means capable of executing the issuing process and the member IDs in the acceptance state are grouped by the grouping means, the associated ID is associated with the member ID And an exclusion determination unit that determines whether or not an exclusion condition is satisfied by comparing a managed acquired value with a preset reference value, and the notification unit includes the exclusion unit Characterized by excluding a player who exclusion conditions by determining means is indicated by the member ID satisfied from the notification target.

  The invention described in claim 5 is provided corresponding to a gaming machine, can receive the member ID, can specify the acquired value acquired by the player, and when the acquired value is specified, If the member ID is in the accepting state, it is possible to execute an acquisition value update process for updating the acquired value managed by the member management means with the specified acquired value. Whether customer replacement conditions established by at least one of issuing means that can execute general issue processing for issuing identifiable acquisition information, game signals output from the gaming machine side, and operations on the authentication means are satisfied The customer change determination means for determining customer change depending on whether or not the acceptance state of the member ID grouped by the grouping means in the authentication means is canceled, Exclusion determination that determines whether or not an exclusion condition that is satisfied when a customer change is detected in a gaming machine corresponding to the issuing means without specifying an acquired value that is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value And the re-game means and the authentication means are provided corresponding to the gaming machine, and the notification means notifies the player indicated by the member ID for which the exclusion condition is established by the exclusion determination means. It is excluded from the object.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the grouping unit has received a member ID different from the member ID received by the authenticating unit after the receiving state of the member ID received by the authenticating unit is canceled. Further, when the password of the member ID whose reception status has been canceled corresponds to the password of the member ID set to the reception status, the member IDs of both members are grouped. .

  The invention described in claim 7 is capable of receiving the member ID and specifying the acquired value acquired by the player. If the acquired value is specified and the member ID is in the receiving state, the member ID can be specified. It is possible to execute an acquisition value update process for updating the acquisition value managed by the member management means with the specified acquisition value, and issue acquisition information that can specify the acquisition value if the member ID is not in a reception state. An issuing means that can execute an issuing process, and a player who has executed the replaying process in the replaying means causes the issuing means to execute the general issuing process in a non-acceptance state of the member ID, or It is determined whether or not an abnormality acquisition condition that is established when an acquisition value equal to or higher than a preset reference value is specified in a non-acceptance state of the member ID, and indicates that the abnormality acquisition condition is satisfied An abnormality acquisition value specifying means for specifying the acquisition value specified in response to the establishment of the abnormality acquisition condition as the abnormality acquisition value, the abnormality acquisition value, and the abnormality for which the abnormality acquisition value is specified. An anomaly earned value association means for associating the member ID received in association with execution of a replay process corresponding to the establishment of the issuance condition, the acquisition information, and the member ID can be accepted and accepted As the clearing process related to the clearing of the received acquisition value, which is the acquired value specified by the acquired information, the first clearing process for associating the received received value with the prize to be exchanged, and the received member ID A clearing means capable of executing a second clearing process for updating the acquired value managed by the received received value, the grouped member ID, and the group At least one of the anomaly acquisition values associated with the converted member ID is related to the clearing process, and the clearing process cancels the acceptance state of the member ID and the grouped member ID by the authentication unit At least one of a case where it is performed within a preset reference period and a case where the cancellation of the acceptance state is performed within a preset reference period after the settlement process is executed An abnormality ID specifying means for specifying the member ID for which the reception state has been resolved as an abnormality ID, and the notification means is specified as an abnormality ID by the abnormality ID specifying means among the grouped member IDs The notification process is executed with the player indicated by the member ID as a notification target.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, the acquired value and the password for permitting re-game processing are managed in association with the member ID indicating the player who has become a member of the game hall. A player is identified by comparing and managing the personal identification number managed in association with the registered member ID, and grouping the member IDs corresponding to the personal identification number managed in association with each other, and indicated by the grouped member ID The notification process is executed for the notification target. In other words, a group (apart from the Goto group) that the game hall side wants to refrain from visiting the game hall issues a plurality of member IDs, but replays using the acquired value that is the game value acquired by the player. Paying attention to the fact that there is a game tendency to use a common password, when grouping, the member IDs corresponding to the passwords are grouped, and the players indicated by the grouped member IDs are targeted for notification. Therefore, it is possible to detect with high accuracy a player who is likely to be a member of a group that the game hall side wants to refrain from visiting the game hall.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, as a gaming tendency of a group that the game hall side wants to avoid visiting the game hall, the member ID is not updated (so-called savings) without renewing the acquired value in the reception state of the member ID. Since there is a game tendency to issue acquisition information that can specify the acquisition value in the non-accepted state of ID, a player who is likely to be a member of the target group is detected with high accuracy based on such a game tendency can do.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, as a game tendency of the group that the game hall side wants to refrain from visiting the game hall, when the so-called savings are lost, the acquired information issued in the non-acceptance state of the member ID is There is a game tendency that the leader collects once, liquidates in a lump, and replenishes the accumulated balls by the liquidation, so the player who is likely to be a member of the target group based on such a game tendency is high It can be detected with accuracy.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, as a game tendency of the group that the game hall side wants to refrain from visiting the game hall, even if there is no so-called accumulated ball, the group member does not save alone, Since there is a game tendency that does not store balls in a certain state, it is a member of the target group by excluding general players who coincided with their PIN numbers from the notification target based on such game tendency A highly likely player can be detected with high accuracy.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, when the game value is issued by the general issue process as a game tendency of the group that the game hall side wants to refrain from visiting the game hall, it is accepted for re-game. There is a game tendency in which counting is performed after canceling the member ID acceptance state. On the other hand, as a game tendency of a general player, the member ID reception state is canceled at the end of the game. However, when counting is performed, the member ID reception state is not canceled without canceling the member ID reception state in the reception state. There is a tendency to play games with counting. By excluding general players from notification targets based on such differences in game trends, it is possible to detect with high accuracy a player who is likely to be a member of the target group.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, there is a game hall in the game hall that determines the upper limit per day for one member ID when replaying. In this case, the game hall side goes to the game hall. As the game tendency of the group who wants to avoid visiting, there is a game tendency to use the second member ID if the first member ID reaches the upper limit. In this case as well, the PIN number of both member IDs And a player who is likely to be a member of the target group can be detected with high accuracy based on such a game tendency.

  According to the invention described in claim 7, since the game tendency of the group that the game hall side wants to refrain from visiting the game hall, there is a game tendency in which the entry and exit times to the game hall are the same period. When one of the members of the group reaches the time of leaving the group without obtaining the acquisition value, the clearing process is executed in the period before and after the member cancels the acceptance status of the member ID, and such a game tendency Based on this, it is possible to detect with high accuracy a player who is likely to be a member of the target group.

1 is an overall configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The figure which shows the storage area of gaming machine The figure which shows the storage area of the management device Figure showing the group information output screen Flowchart showing gaming device processing executed by gaming device The flowchart which shows the management apparatus process which a management apparatus performs

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a game hall system 1. In the game hall, game machines 3 (corresponding to re-game means, authentication means, and issue means) are installed in a one-to-one correspondence with the gaming machines 2. Two gaming machines 2 and two gaming devices 3 are connected to one relay device 4, and the relay device 4 is connected to a management device 6 (member management means, extraction means, grouping means, notification via a LAN 5. Means, abnormality acquisition determination means, abnormality ID identification means, abnormality acquisition information identification means, exclusion determination means, customer replacement determination means, abnormality acquisition value identification means, abnormality acquisition value correspondence means) and POS device (free gift exchange device) 7 (corresponding to the clearing means). Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 2 are managed by the management device 6. In the present embodiment, since the gaming machine 2 is a pachinko machine as described above, the gaming value (game medium) is a pachinko ball. If the gaming machine 2 is a slot machine, the gaming value is a medal.

  The gaming machine 2 has an operation handle 2a, an upper saucer 2b, and a lower saucer 2c that constitute a launching device, and a bonus face 2e, a first start port 2f, a second start port 2g, and a liquid crystal display unit on the board surface 2d. 2h, special winning opening 2i, etc. A lending button 2j and a return button 2k that can be operated by the player are provided side by side on the upper surface of the upper tray 2b. In addition, the site | part in which the rental button 2j and the return button 2k are provided may be other than the upper surface part of the upper tray 2b. The gaming machine 2 performs the following operations.

  (1) A jackpot lottery is performed in response to the ball fired on the board surface 2d by operating the operation handle 2a winning (start winning) in the first start port 2f or the second start port 2g, and the lottery result Based on the so-called special symbol (special symbol), the liquid crystal display unit 2h executes symbol variation and generates a jackpot according to the result. Note that the upper limit of so-called holding balls is four each, and when starting and winning a prize during holding, the upper limit is held, and after the symbol change ends, the held symbol variation is executed sequentially.

(2) While the first start opening 2f is a so-called heso-type winning opening where the winning rate does not vary, the second starting opening 2g is a so-called electric-chu type winning opening where the winning rate varies depending on the regular drawing.
(3) The winning probability (probability of jackpot) of the jackpot lottery is 1/300, and the ratio of the jackpot that will be probabilistic (probable) after the jackpot is 66.6% (2/3). Then, the prize winning opening 2i is opened by an amount corresponding to the corresponding round number (R). Note that the upper limit winning number (upper limit number) of 1R is 8, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R ends when either the upper limit number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied.

(4) The number of rounds corresponding to the jackpot is 5R and 16R, and the distribution ratio is 25% for 5R and 75% for 16R.
(5) During probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/30 and the winning rate to the second starting port 2g is improved (short time). Since the probability change continues until the next big hit, it continues until the big hit (ordinary big hit) that becomes the normal state (normal) after the big hit occurs, and when the normal big hit occurs, it returns to the normal state.

  The gaming device 3 is a device having a lending function and a counter counting function, a state display LED 3a for displaying the state of the gaming device 3, a bill insertion slot 3b for a player to insert a bill, various display lamps, An operation unit 3c having operation buttons (issue button, payout button, etc.), a payout nozzle 3d for paying a ball to the upper tray 2b of the gaming machine 2, and a player can insert a member card 8 or a general card 9 (acceptable) ) A card insertion slot 3e, a tray unit 3f for receiving a ball dropped from the lower tray 2c of the gaming machine 2, and the like. The gaming device 3 performs the following operations.

  (1) When a player inserts a banknote into the banknote insertion slot 3b, the inserted amount is specified, and the player places a ball within the range of the inserted amount in response to the player pressing the lending button 2j of the gaming machine 2. 2 is lent out to the upper tray 2b of the gaming machine 2 from the payout mechanism inside. When the player has inserted “1000 yen” and the player has not pressed the lending button 2j, “1000 yen” is stored as the deposit balance. From this state, for example, if the rental unit price is “4 yen”, every time the player presses the loan button 2j, “125 balls”, that is, “500 yen (unit amount)” balls are lent, and the rest Store (update) the deposit balance. That is, if the player has entered “1000 yen” as the investment amount, when the player presses the lending button 2j once, the deposit balance is updated to “500 yen” and the player pushes the lending button 2j. The deposit balance is updated to “0 yen” once more (when pressed twice in total).

  (2) When a ball dropped from the lower tray 2c of the gaming machine 2 is received by the tray unit 3f, the ball is counted by a counting unit (not shown), and when the counting is completed, a count value which is the counting result is obtained. It is added to Mochitama (specifies the value acquired by the player).

  (3) When the player presses the issue button on the operation unit 3c, if the member card 8 is received, the number of balls (the number of balls) added based on the counting result by the counting unit is recorded on the member card 8. (Updated) issued from the card insertion slot 3e (executed value update processing is executed), and if the member card 8 is not received, the number of balls that are added according to the counting result by the counting unit is given to the general card 9 Record and issue from the card insertion slot 3e (execute general issue processing). At this time, update information that can specify that the member card 8 or the general card 9 has been issued (including information that can identify the balls recorded on the member card 8 or the general card 9) is output to the management device 6.

  (4) When the player operates the payout button of the operation unit 3c, if the number of possessed balls added based on the counting result by the counting unit is equal to or greater than the number of standard possessed balls (for example, 1 ball) If the ball is within the range of the number of balls, the ball is dispensed from the dispensing nozzle 3d to the upper tray 2f of the gaming machine 2, and the number of balls dispensed is subtracted from the number of balls. If the number of balls is not more than the number of balls (if there is no ball), the number of stored balls recorded in the storage account managed by the management device 6 corresponding to the member card 8 is accepted on condition that the member card 8 is received. Within the range, balls (re-play (re-game) balls) are paid out from the pay-out nozzle 3d to the upper tray 2f of the gaming machine 2, and the number of stored balls (the number of paid-out balls) corresponding to the paid-out number of balls is stored in the storage account. Subtract from your savings. At this time, update information that can specify that the replay ball has been paid out is output to the management device 6.

The gaming signals shown below are output from the gaming machine 2 and gaming device 3 side.
“Out signal”: a signal (operation signal) that can specify the consumption value (out) output from the out BOX for collecting the consumption balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 consumed (used, driven, and collected) balls, “the number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the gaming machine 2 may be used.
“Safe signal”: a signal that can specify a prize-giving value (safe) that is a gaming value given to a player in accordance with a winning during a game output from the gaming machine 2. Since 1 pulse is output for 10 payout balls, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. The supply signal output from the supply device may be a safe signal.

“Starting signal”: a signal that can specify the number of symbol fluctuations (number of actuated items, start) output from the gaming machine 2. Since one pulse is output per symbol change (actual operation, start process) in the liquid crystal display unit 2h (combined item) that fluctuates (operates) due to winning in the first starting port 2f or the second starting port 2g, “Start signal number × 1” is specified as a start. It should be noted that if the start winning signal output in response to the winning at the first start port 2f or the second start port 2g is started, it may be assumed that the symbol has changed and used as the start signal.
“Big jackpot signal”: a signal that can be output from the gaming machine 2 to identify the big jackpot. Since it is a state signal that is output at a level during jackpot, the jackpot signal input is identified as being jackpot.

“Special state signal”: a signal that can specify a special state (Akanaka) output from the gaming machine 2. Since the level signal is output during the special state (during time reduction) in which the winning rate of the second start port 2g is improved, the special state signal being input is specified as being in the special state. It is also possible to use a state signal (probability change signal) that is output at a level during probability change in which the jackpot probability is improved. Further, a period in which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as the normal state.
“Sales signal”: a signal that can specify sales information (number of sales balls, sales amount) output from the gaming apparatus 3. Since one pulse is output for every 25 balls lent to a player, “sales signal number × 25” is specified as the number of sales balls, and “sales number × lending unit price (for example, 4 yen)” is specified as the sales amount. To do.

  The management device 6 includes a main device 6a, a keyboard 6b, a mouse 6c, a monitor 6d, a printer (not shown), and the like. The management device 6 inputs and outputs various signals and various information to and from the control unit constituted by a microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O, and the gaming machine 2 and the gaming device 3 via the relay device 4. In addition, it has an input / output unit for inputting / outputting various signals and various information to / from the POS device 7, and by executing a control program, it is based on game signals input from the gaming machine 2, gaming device 3, etc. Identify the operating state of the gaming machine 2 and calculate and manage gaming data for each gaming machine 2 (out, safe, difference ball, start count, jackpot count, appearance rate, sales, etc.) and game data for each model Or managing the history of gift exchange, the history of depositing the coins into the storage account, etc. based on the exchange information input from the POS device 7. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 to be described later, the management device 6 manages a member ID, a password, a storage ball, and the like in association with each other.

  The POS device 7 includes a keyboard 7a operated by a game hall employee, a liquid crystal display 7b, a card insertion slot 7c into which a membership card 8 and a general card 9 can be inserted (accepted), and the like. The POS device 7 includes a control unit configured by a microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O, an input / output unit that inputs and outputs various signals and various information to and from the management device 6, and the like. By executing the program, when the member card 8 or the general card 9 submitted by the player to the store clerk is inserted into the card insertion slot 7c, the member card 8 or the general card 9 is recorded. The number of held balls and the number of stored balls are read by a card reader (not shown), and the number of prizes (for example, special prizes) corresponding to the read number of held balls and stored balls is calculated and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 7b. (The first settlement process is executed), or the number of possessed balls that have been read is deposited into the storage account managed by the management device 6 (stores) (the second settlement process is executed) To do). At this time, exchange information that can specify exchange of prizes and deposits of holding balls in a storage account is output to the management device 6.

  Now, as described above in the section “Problems to be Solved by the Invention”, in the game hall, apart from the goto group that cheats the gaming machines 2, the gaming machines 2 are cheated. Although not performed, the appearance and the gaming attitude are very bad, and other regular players who enjoy the game (regular customers) may visit a group that refrains from playing the game near the group. And the amusement park side wants to refrain from visiting such a group amusement park.

  Also, in recent years, it has been prohibited to collect replay fees that allow replays at the amusement hall under the guidance of the authorities. For amusement halls, if a replay fee is not collected, a loss occurs due to the difference between the rental unit price and the exchange unit price (difference in exchange rate), but if the replay itself is prohibited, the game where the replay was used purely Since the player may be uncomfortable, the replay fee is continuously allowed as a service to the player. However, there is a group that plays with the opposite of the fact that the game hall does not collect replay fees. Such a group does not cheat on the above-mentioned group, that is, the gaming machine 2, but the appearance and gaming attitude are very bad, and other regular players who enjoy the game are close to the group. It is similar to a group that refrains from playing games, and is called a so-called strategy group (a group with a large amount of strategy to use services that do not collect replay fees, differences in exchange rates), and plays without collecting replay fees. Thus, the player is playing in an advantageous situation compared to other players who do not use replay. The amusement hall side wants to provide the above-mentioned service that does not collect replay fees only to players who use replay purely, that is, regular customers, but the strategy group comes to the amusement hall with a large number of people. If this service is used, it is difficult to obtain profits. Therefore, in addition to the elements of appearance and game attitude, we would like to refrain from visiting the game group for the reasons described above.

  Here, the capture group will be described. In the capture group, the leader issues a membership card 8 to the amusement hall in the name of another person (the leader is mainly male but the name is often multiple women) (at the time the membership card 8 is issued, the woman issues it) In many cases, the member card 8 is stored, and when playing the game, the member card 8 is distributed to the members of the capture group, and the member who receives the member card 8 replays without any fee by using the stored ball. Play a game. When replaying, it is necessary to input the password, but if a different password is registered for each membership card 8, it is managed which password is the membership card 8 (member card). 8 and a personal identification number are required to be managed in association with each other), and there is a tendency that a common personal identification number is registered in any member card 8. Also, some game halls limit the number of replay balls for a predetermined period such as one day, so members can replay balls using one member card 8 to replay balls. When the number reaches the upper limit, another member card 8 is used for replaying. In this case, the passwords of the two member cards 8 are a common password.

The leaders (acquired value) earned by members in replay games are exchanged for prizes and cleared. Here, if the leader liquidates with many membership cards 8, the clerk will be suspicious of the store clerk, so the members do not save the balls earned by replaying games in the membership card 8, but dare to record them on the general card 9. The issued general card 9 and membership card 8 are handed to the leader. The leader clears the general card 9 collected from the member. At this time, if there is a member card 8 that has lost or reduced the amount of stored balls due to replay games, Save some and exchange the rest for prizes. To summarize the above, the game trends of the strategy group are:
(A) Play a game by playing again without playing a game with cash.
(A) A common password is registered in a plurality of membership cards 8.
(C) One player uses a plurality of membership cards 8 continuously with a common password.
(D) Do not store the balls on the membership card 8 but record them on the general card 9 and issue them.
(E) Settling a plurality of general cards 9 at the same time.
(F) When the general card 9 is liquidated, if there is a member card 8 in which there is no more or less storage, all or a part of the output is stored in the member card 8.
(G) The gender of the player and the gender registered in the membership card 8 are different.
Etc. In the present invention, the objective is to detect a strategy group. The game apparatus 3 and the management apparatus 6 and the like operate as follows after paying attention to such a game tendency, so that the strategy group can be detected.

  In the configuration described above, the gaming apparatus 3 has a storage area capable of storing various types of information shown in FIG. 2 in relation to the present invention. The meaning of each item stored in the storage area of the gaming device 3 is as follows. Note that the gaming device 3 updates the contents of the storage area by executing a gaming device process shown in FIG. 5 described later.

“Terminal ID”: a gaming device ID that can identify the gaming device 3.
“Reception ID”: The ID of the membership card 8 or the general card 9 that is currently being received (inserted into the card insertion slot 3h).

“Receiving medium”: a currently accepted card, which is either the member card 8 or the general card 9.
“Previous member ID”: This is the ID of the member card 8 that was accepted last time, and is stored from when the member card 8 is issued until the issue flag becomes “0”.
“PIN”: This is a number that is used when checking the password entered by the operation. If the password entered by the operation matches the password, re-playing is permitted as a legitimate password ( If the password input by the operation does not match the password, the replay is not permitted (not permitted) as it is not a regular password (a non-regular password).

“Stored ball”: A possessed ball (managed in association with the member ID by the management device 6) deposited by the player at the amusement hall, and is a stored value.
“Mochitama”: A game that a player has gained through a game, and is an acquired value.
“Replay flag”: a flag indicating whether or not the operation-input password is a regular password and whether or not replay is permitted.
“Issuance flag”: a flag for associating the membership card 8 with the general card 9 and is “1” until a customer change is detected after the issuance process, and the count process or the issuance process performed in the state of “1”. The corresponding general card 9 is associated with the previous member ID.

  The management device 6 has a storage area capable of storing various types of information shown in FIG. 3 in relation to the present invention. The meaning of each item stored in the storage area of the management device 6 is as follows. The management device 6 updates the contents of the storage area by executing management device processing shown in FIG.

“Member ID”: an ID that can identify a member (member card 8).
“Last terminal”: This is the final terminal ID that received the member card 8 regardless of whether it is in use (in the case of the gaming apparatus 3, this is the ID (number) of the corresponding gaming machine 2). If the member card 8 is not received on the business day, “-” is displayed.
“Game flag”: a flag indicating whether or not a game is in progress, and after the issuance processing of the membership card 8, until the elapsed period reaches the first reference period (3 minutes) without detecting ball counting or operation. Or until the customer detection is performed, such as until the issue flag becomes “0”.

“Corresponding ID”: The ID of the general card 9 associated with the member ID by the issue flag.
“Status”: Indicates whether or not the member is an abnormal member. If the member with the corresponding member ID is an abnormal member, “abnormal” is indicated. If not, “−” is indicated.
“Group”: A group ID obtained by grouping member IDs having a common password among members whose game flags are “1”, and a serial number from the start of business. If it is not grouped, “-” is given.

  Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing gaming apparatus processing executed by the gaming apparatus 3 in relation to the present invention, and FIG. 6 is flowchart showing management apparatus processing executed by the management apparatus 6 in relation to the present invention. Yes. These gaming device processing and management device processing will be described sequentially.

(1) Game device processing When the game device processing starts, the game device 3 determines whether or not the member card 8 is being accepted as a standby state (A1), and determines whether or not the member card 8 has been received. (A2), it is determined whether or not the general card 9 has been received (A3), whether or not sales have occurred (A4), whether or not balls have been counted (A5), and an issue button Is pressed (A6), and it is determined whether the payout button is pressed (A7).

  When the gaming device 3 determines that the player has accepted the membership card 8 by inserting the membership card 8 into the card insertion slot 3e (A2: YES), the gaming apparatus 3 includes a card including card information that can identify the accepted membership card 8 An inquiry signal is output to the management device 6 (A8), the issuance flag is set to “0” (A9), and a password input operation from the player is waited for (A10). When it is determined that the player has entered a password (A10: YES), the gaming device 3 determines whether the password entered by the player is a regular password (A11). . When the gaming device 3 determines that the personal identification number input by the player is a regular personal identification number (A11: YES), it sets the replay flag to “1” (A12). When the gaming device 3 sets the replay flag to “1” while the membership card 8 is being received, the player can replay. On the other hand, when the gaming device 3 determines that the password input by the player is not a regular password (non-regular password) (A11: NO), a predetermined error process (not a regular password) (A13) is executed.

  When it is determined that the player has pressed the payout button (A7: YES), the gaming apparatus 3 determines whether there is a ball at that time (A14), and determines that there is a ball (A14: YES). ), Within the range of the number of possessed balls, the balls (payout balls) are dispensed from the dispensing nozzle 3d to the upper tray 2f of the gaming machine 2, and the number of balls dispensed is subtracted from the possessed balls (A15). On the other hand, when the gaming device 3 determines that there is no ball (A14: NO), it determines whether or not the replay flag is set to “1” (A16), and sets the replay flag to “1”. If it is determined that the ball has been played (A16: YES), the ball (replayed ball) is dispensed from the dispensing nozzle 3d to the upper tray 2f of the gaming machine 2 within the range of the number of balls (replay is allowed), and the dispensed ball The number of balls corresponding to the consideration of the number is subtracted from the stored ball (A17).

  Then, the game device 3 determines whether or not the stored balls are depleted (the number of stored balls = 0) by subtracting the stored balls (A18), and if it is determined that the stored balls are not used (A18: NO), the stored balls are subtracted. The update information that can specify that it has been output is output to the management device 6 (A19). On the other hand, when the gaming apparatus 3 determines that there are no more balls (A18: YES), the replay flag is set to “0” (A20), the replay is prohibited, and update information that can specify that there are no more balls. Is output to the management device 6 (A19). If the game apparatus 3 determines that the replay flag is not set to “1” even if the player presses the payout button in a state where there is no ball (A16: NO), the game apparatus 3 removes the ball from the payout nozzle 3d. There is no payout to the upper tray 2f of the gaming machine 2 (replay is not permitted).

  When it is determined that the player has pressed the issue button (A6: YES), the gaming device 3 determines whether the member card 8 is being accepted at that time (A21), and the member card 8 is being accepted. If it is determined that there is (A21: YES), the member card issuing process for issuing the member card 8 being accepted from the card insertion slot 3e is executed (A22). At this time, the gaming device 3 sets the issuance flag to “1” in response to the issuance of the member card 8 (A23), sets the replay flag to “0” (A20), Update information that can specify that it has been issued is output to the management device 6 (A19). That is, the player places the member card 8 in the accepting state, presses the payout button, receives the replay ball, and accepts the member card 8 by pushing the issue button. When the state is released, the gaming apparatus 3 sets the issue flag to “1”. On the other hand, when the gaming apparatus 3 determines that the member card 8 is not being accepted (A21: NO), it executes a general card issuing process for issuing the general card 9 from the card insertion slot 3e (A24), and issues the general card 9 The update information that can specify that it has been output is output to the management device 6 (A19).

  When the gaming device 3 determines that the balls have been counted (A5: YES), it adds the holding balls (A25), and determines whether or not the membership card 8 is being accepted at that time (A26). If it is determined that the gaming device 3 is not accepting the membership card 8, that is, the ball is counted in the non-acceptance state of the membership card 8 (A26: NO), is the issuance flag set to “1” at that time? It is determined whether or not (A27). When it is determined that the issuance flag is set to “1” at that time (A27: YES), the gaming device 3 determines whether or not an abnormal signal has already been output to the management device 6 (A28). If it is determined that the abnormal signal has not been output to the management device 6 (not output) at that time (A28: YES), the abnormal signal is output to the management device 6 (A29). That is, the player places the member card 8 in the accepting state, presses the payout button, receives the replay ball, and accepts the member card 8 by pushing the issue button. When the state is released and the balls are counted in a state where the acceptance state of the member card 8 is released, the gaming device 3 outputs an abnormal signal to the management device 6.

  On the other hand, when the gaming device 3 is accepting the membership card 8, that is, when it is determined that the balls are counted in the acceptance state of the membership card 8 (A26: YES), the possession ball exceeds the reference value (for example, 1000 balls). Is determined (A30), and if it is determined that the holding ball exceeds the reference value (A30: YES), a group release signal is output to the management device 6 (A31). If the gaming device 3 determines that the player has received the general card 9 by inserting the general card 9 into the card insertion slot 3e (A3: YES), the gaming device 3 updates the holding ball (A32), and the customer replacement signal Is output to the management device 6 (A33), and the issue flag is set to “0” (A34). Further, if the gaming device 3 determines that sales have occurred (A4: YES), in this case as well, a customer replacement signal is output to the management device 6 (A33), and the issue flag is set to “0” (A34). .

  That is, the gaming apparatus 3 sets the issuance flag to “1” by issuing the membership card 8 by the above-described series of processing (releasing the acceptance status of the membership card 8 once accepted), and thereafter When it is specified that the player has changed (customer changed), such as when the member card 8 or the general card 9 is received or sales are generated, the issue flag is set to “0” (A9, A34). When balls are counted without specifying customer turnover, an abnormal signal is output to the management device 6. It should be noted that in the flowchart, correspondence is performed and abnormal members are identified when counting with the issuance flag being “1”, but the condition is that the issuance flag is in the state of “1” when the general card 9 is issued. As an example, correspondence and identification of abnormal members may be performed. Further, since the issue flag is set to “0” when the customer change is detected, the issue flag is not set to “0” even if the general card 9 is issued. That is, when the player issues the general card 9 after issuing the general card 9, the IDs of the plurality of general cards 9 are associated with one member ID as corresponding IDs. This is because the strategy group issues a plurality of general cards 9 to urge other members to play instead of the membership card 8. Therefore, although not shown in the flowchart, when the general card 9 is received, it is determined whether or not the received general card 9 is already associated with the member card 8, and if it is associated, an abnormal signal is output. You may do it.

(2) Management device processing When the management device processing is started, the management device 6 determines whether a card inquiry signal, a group release signal, a customer replacement signal, update information, or an abnormal signal is input from the gaming device 3 Then, it is determined whether or not exchange information is input from the POS device 7 (B1 to B6). When the management device 6 determines that a card inquiry signal has been input from the gaming device 3 by the player inserting the member card 8 into the card insertion slot 3e (B1: YES), the management device 6 adds the card inquiry signal to the input card inquiry signal. A member ID corresponding to the included card information is specified, and a password (password of the inquiry card) corresponding to the specified member ID is specified (B7).

  The management device 6 determines whether or not the specified password is present in the game password (B8), and if it is determined that the specified password is present in the game (B8: YES). The member IDs having the same password are grouped (B9), the member information that can specify the password, the number of balls, etc. is output to the gaming device 3 (B10), and the specified password is used as the password during the game. (The game flag is set to “1”) (B11). In FIG. 3, for example, the member IDs “12345”, “12347”, and “12351” are grouped together as a common group with a personal identification number “6541”, and the member IDs “12348” and “12349” are common with a personal identification number “7777”. The case where it groups as a group is illustrated. The group ID given by grouping is a serial number with “1” at the start of business on that day. The member ID “12350” has the same password as the member ID “12348”, but the reason why the member ID “12350” is excluded from the group will be described later.

  Next, the management device 6 determines whether or not the previous member ID (the ID of the member card 8 accepted last time) corresponds to the personal identification number (whether or not they are the same personal identification number) (B12). This is for identifying the strategy of the strategy group using a plurality of membership cards 8 according to the replay upper limit. When the management device 6 determines that the previous member ID corresponds to the password (B12: YES), the management device 6 groups the previous member ID and the current member ID (B13). On the other hand, when the management device 6 determines that the previous member ID does not correspond to the personal identification number (B12: NO), the management device 6 determines whether or not the previous member ID of the corresponding turn number has been grouped (B14). If it is determined that the previous member ID of the turn number to be grouped has been grouped (B14: YES), the previous member ID is excluded from the group (B15). In other words, the management device 6 excludes the previous member ID from the group as a result of the customer change, because the secret numbers coincide with each other by chance instead of the capture group (exclusion conditions are met).

  If the management device 6 determines that a customer change signal has been input from the gaming device 3 (B3: YES), the management device 6 also determines whether or not the previous member ID of the corresponding turn has already been grouped. (B14) If it is determined that the previous member ID of the corresponding turn number has been grouped (B14: YES), the previous member ID is excluded from the group (B15).

  When the management device 6 determines that a group release signal has been input from the gaming device 3 (B2: YES), the management device 6 determines whether or not the corresponding member ID has been grouped (B16), and the corresponding member ID is grouped. If it is determined that it has been converted (B16: YES), it is determined whether or not the corresponding member ID storage ball exceeds a reference value (for example, 5000 balls) (B17), and the corresponding member ID storage ball indicates the reference value. If it is determined that the number exceeds (exclusion condition is satisfied) (B17: YES), the corresponding member ID is excluded from the group (B18). In other words, if the management device 6 determines that the number of possessed balls has been increased by counting even though there is a storage ball, the management device 6 excludes the corresponding member ID from the group. In FIG. 3, for example, the member ID “12350” is common to the member ID “12348” or “12349” and the personal identification number “7777”, but since the corresponding stored ball exceeds the reference value, the stored ball is stored. The case where it excluded from the group is illustrated.

  If the management device 6 determines that an abnormal signal has been input from the gaming device 3 (B6: YES), the previous member ID is specified by the input abnormal signal, and whether or not the specified previous member ID has been grouped. (B19), if it is determined that the previous member ID has been grouped (B19: YES), it is identified as an abnormal member, the corresponding member ID is set as an abnormal member, and the ID of the corresponding general card 9 is set. It memorize | stores as abnormality ID (corresponding ID) (B20). FIG. 3 illustrates a case where the corresponding IDs “125005”, “122003”, and “139002” are stored in the member IDs “12345”, “12347”, and “12348”, respectively, and specified as abnormal members. In this way, the management device 6 counts without changing the customer after the issuance of the membership card 8, and if the personal identification number corresponds to the group, the abnormal device is identified as an abnormal condition.

  If the management device 6 determines that the exchange information has been input from the POS device 7 in accordance with the prize exchange (B4: YES), the total number of general cards 9 (a plurality of general cards 9 are accepted in one exchange process). In this case, it is determined whether or not the number of exchanges of the second and subsequent general cards 9 exceeds a reference value (for example, once) (B21). When determining that the total number of the general cards 9 exceeds the reference value (B21: YES), the management device 6 determines whether there is a card corresponding to the abnormal member in the combined general card 9 (B22). . When the management device 6 determines that there is a card corresponding to the abnormal member (the general card 9 indicated as the corresponding ID) in the combined general card 9 (B22: YES), the member ID related to the exchange process (the combined general card 9) (Member ID including the member ID stored as well as the member ID corresponding to) is specified as the same abnormality G (B23). In this case, even if a different group is specified by the password, it can be specified as the same abnormality G. Further, as will be described later, the management device 6 also identifies a member ID that could not be identified as an abnormal member due to an elapsed period from issuance (B24), and updates the member database (storage area) (B25).

  In other words, as a game tendency of the strategy group, the management device 6 allows the leader to exchange prizes in batches specified by the general card 9 acquired by the member, and at this time, the member card that has lost the reserve by replaying If there is 8, it corresponds to storing in the member card 8 and the total number of general cards 9 exceeds the reference value, and if there is a general card 9 with corresponding ID in it, it is determined that it is a capture group Then, the member card 8 stored with the possession ball is also specified as being used by the capture group, and the abnormal member is specified. In this case, the same abnormal group (abnormal G) is specified including the member ID already specified as an abnormal member. FIG. 3 illustrates the case where the member ID “12346” is specified as the abnormality G “25”. In this case, the member ID targeted for storage may be specified as an abnormal member on condition that the personal identification number of the member ID specified by the corresponding ID and the member ID targeted for storage are the corresponding personal identification numbers.

  In addition, as a game tendency of the strategy group, it corresponds to the members leaving at the same time when exchanging prizes, that is, the exchange process is performed in a short period after the member card 8 of the member who has not earned the ball is issued. The member ID is the same as the member ID related to the clearing process (exchange process), and the member ID of the same group is the same as the member ID within the reference period (for example, 10 minutes). Store as anomaly G. For example, when the general card 9 corresponding to the member ID “12345” or “12347” shown in FIG. 3 is exchanged, not only the member ID “12345” or “12347” but also the elapsed period is within the reference period in the same group. The member ID “12351” is also identified as the same abnormality G. In addition, not only the elapsed period after issuance of the membership card 8, but also the member ID for which the issuing process was performed within the reference period of the elapsed period after the exchange process may be specified as an abnormal member.

  FIG. 4 is a group information output screen showing the scattered situation in the game hall of the grouped players. The numerical value in FIG. 4 indicates a machine number (game machine ID), and the arrangement status of the game machines 2 in the game hall is output so that the machine number can be specified. The output in this case may be displayed or printed. Here, as described with reference to FIG. 3, each group ID numbered is color-coded (for example, red, blue, yellow, green, etc.) so that it can be identified. In FIG. 4, a to h is added to the side of the machine number to indicate that the colors are grouped for each group ID. For example, the players who play in the 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th, 26th, 33rd, 41st, 45th are the same group (first group), for example, the 50th, 53rd, 54th Players playing games in the series, 58 series, 64 series, 68 series and 70 series are in the same group (second group different from the first group). In addition, a member determined to be an abnormal member is identified and output with a double frame, and a member determined to be abnormal G is identified and output with a white outline.

  Also, if a machine number is selected on the group information output screen (for example, clicked with the mouse 6c, etc.), although not shown in FIG. 4, the game information of the selected gaming machine 2 and the member of the player who plays the game Information can be extracted and output (popped display etc.), and an operation for setting whether or not to exclude the selected machine number from the group can be performed. For example, the game information identifies members who play too far away from other grouped members, such as the 320s and 392s, and players who have invested in cash when the number of replay balls reaches the upper limit. In such a case, a setting operation for excluding the selected machine number from the group becomes possible.

  A player who has been identified as an abnormal member detects when the member card 8 is inserted, and informs that fact by voice, display, print, etc., thereby leaving the abnormal member (withdrawal from the game hall) It is best to encourage the employees in the field, but in order to grasp how many people are in the strategy group and what kind of gaming machine 2 is aimed at playing games, FIG. 4 may be adopted as an output indicating the acceptance and gaming status of the abnormal member. Further, an imaging unit corresponding to the gaming machine 2 is provided by providing each camera in the gaming device 3 or the like, and the player's image to be notified by associating the player's image captured by the imaging unit with the member ID is provided. An image may be specified, and the player indicated by the abnormality ID may be set as the notification target by notifying when the captured player image corresponds to the image of the player specified as the notification target. In this case, the player can be targeted for notification without specifying the abnormality ID at the time of notification. Furthermore, the gender of the player imaged by the imaging means may be determined and grouped on condition that it differs from the gender registered in the accepted membership card 8.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the personal identification number that the player inputs to perform replaying is managed in association with the member ID, and is managed in association with the member ID in the acceptance state. The passwords are compared, the member IDs corresponding to the passwords are grouped, and the players with the grouped member IDs are targeted for notification. In other words, a group (apart from a Goto group) that wants to refrain from visiting the amusement hall on the side of the amusement hall issues a plurality of member IDs, but performs a replay using a game that the player has acquired. Pay attention to the fact that there is a game tendency to use a common password, grouping the member IDs corresponding to the password, and targeting the players of the grouped member ID to notify, the game venue side A player who is likely to be a member of a group who wants to refrain from visiting can be detected with high accuracy.

  In this case, as a game tendency of the group that the game hall side wants to refrain from visiting the game hall, the game tendency to issue the general card 9 without saving the membership card 8 or the general card 9 is liquidated when there is no more storage ball. At this time, by paying attention to the game tendency to replenish the stored balls, it is possible to detect with high accuracy a player who is likely to be a member of the target group. In addition, even if there is no money left, the members of the group will not save money alone, or by paying attention to the game tendency not to save money when there is a certain amount of money, a general player who accidentally matches the password will be notified It can also be excluded from the target. In addition, by focusing on the game tendency of counting after canceling the reception state of the member ID that was in the reception state for replay, the member ID was set to the reception state without canceling the reception state of the member ID. It is also possible to exclude general players who perform counting as they are to be notified.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
The same personal identification number is exemplified as the corresponding personal identification number. For example, it is a serial number such as “1234” and “2345”, and the correspondence relationship such as the personal identification number identical to the last four digits of the member ID is preset. As long as the conditions for associating the PIN numbers are specified, for example, the criteria for the PIN numbers may be specified.

In order to eliminate chance, it is not considered that the member is an abnormal member only by the correspondence of the personal identification number. However, it is also possible to make the member an abnormal member only by the correspondence of the personal identification number and to notify the player indicated by the abnormal member. In addition, notifying is not only informing that the member is an abnormal member, but also including an aspect of displaying as shown in FIG.
As the password, for example, a password that can be easily adopted by a normal member such as a member's birthday or “7777” may be excluded from the group target. It is desirable that the excluded personal identification number be an abnormal member under other conditions, while the other personal identification number is an abnormal member due to the correspondence of the personal identification number.

The grouping is performed when the passwords of the member cards received in succession correspond to each other. However, the grouping condition may be that the number of replays of the previous member card reaches the upper limit. In addition, the grouping is performed when the total number at the time of the exchange processing is a predetermined number or more. However, the grouping may be performed on the condition that the balls are stored, or different groups may be set as the same abnormality G on the condition that the totaling is performed.
The previous member ID was excluded from the group at the time of customer change signal input (customer change determination), but even if it is excluded from the group after the elapse of the second elapsed period in consideration of the process of making an abnormal member according to the second elapsed period good.

Although the gaming apparatus provided with each unit counting function is illustrated, it is not always necessary to have each unit replay function as long as it has a replay function. In this case, it will be counted by the island edge counter, but if you use the island card counter to enter the number and use the member card at the time of replay, but do not use the member card at the time of counting, As in the embodiment, it may be specified that the member is an abnormal member.
Since it may not be possible to record a ball or the like on a general card due to a rule or the like, the ball or the like may be managed by a management device, and the ball or the like may be specified by an ID. In other words, if it is possible to identify the ball, it is not always necessary to directly record the ball on the card itself. Of course, it is also possible to write a savings card or a holding ball on the membership card.

  As an ID, it is of course possible to specify a general card not only by the ID recorded on the card but also by an ID issued in accordance with the issuing process. The general card and the membership card are not limited to a card-like recording medium, but may be a paper-like recording medium such as a so-called receipt, a coin-type recording medium, a player's mobile phone, or the like. For example, a fingerprint or the like may be associated with the holding ball as an ID by biometric authentication. That is, the issuing process does not only indicate a process of paying out the recording medium, but also indicates a process of associating information such as holding balls with the acquired information such as ID without paying out the recording medium.

Although the possession ball is directly updated, any method may be adopted as the method for specifying the game information, such as indirectly updating with an arithmetic expression such as “counting ball-payout ball”. Moreover, all the numerical values, the number of digits, items, etc. which were illustrated are illustrations and any numerical value may be employ | adopted. Furthermore, although a numerical value is shown as the reference value, a range in which an upper limit and a lower limit are determined may be used as the reference value.
As target gaming machines, pachinko gaming machines or slot machines other than the illustrated pachinko gaming machines such as the so-called encapsulated type that manages gaming media only by data can be adopted, in which case a medal is used as the gaming value. Will be adopted. In consideration of the enclosing type, the game medium is expressed as a game value as necessary.

When processing is executed by a gaming device that does not have a lending function, the number of sales balls and the sales amount may be specified by a signal that can specify sales information (number of sales balls and sales amount) output from the lending machine. Further, a part of the processing performed by the gaming device may be performed by the relay device or the management device, and similarly, a part of the information processing performed by the management device may be performed by the relay device or the gaming device. good.
You may combine the illustrated structure also including a modification in any way. In addition, for example, when grouping consecutively received membership cards, if there is no upper limit value for replay, it may not be effective and the risk of false detection may increase, so all illustrated configurations are enabled by setting processing, It is desirable to make it invalid or changeable.
