Description

  The present invention relates to a game field system capable of managing game information of a player who has a mobile terminal having a short-range communication function and a player who has a mobile terminal not having a short-range communication function.

  A variety of services are provided at the amusement arcade where game machines are installed. For example, in Patent Document 1, after a player plays a game, a service is provided to provide game information during the game period of the player. A portable terminal (mobile phone) and an RFID function (FeliCa (registered trademark)) are provided. A non-contact short-distance communication function), etc., to determine the start of the game by reading the ID (identification information) of the mobile terminal, and then determining the end of the game by operating the end switch The game period is specified, and the game information in the game period is transmitted to the mobile terminal specified by the ID.

JP 2008-29375 A

  Here, it is conceivable that some players forget to perform the game end operation and return. On the other hand, Patent Document 1 also describes that it is determined that the game is over when the non-operation of the gaming machine for a predetermined time is specified.

  However, when determining the end of the game based on the non-working time, it is difficult to determine whether the player has finished the game or has left the seat for a short period of time. There is a problem that setting becomes difficult. Further, in Patent Document 1, the determination of game start is performed by non-contact near field communication of a mobile terminal, whereas the game end determination is performed by a switch operation, and the start operation and the end operation are Due to the difference, some players may not understand the operation method, or the operation itself may be troublesome, and the service may not be used.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to share a game start operation and a game end operation, and a game that can cope well even when a player forgets to perform a game end operation It is to provide a field system.

  The present invention provides a game information totaling means for totaling game information of a gaming machine and identification information provided corresponding to the gaming machine and capable of identifying the portable terminal from a portable terminal possessed by the player for short-range communication. The reading means, the game start determining means for determining that the player has started the game when the reading means has read the identification information, and the identification when the game start determining means determines the game start. A start-time identification information storage means for storing information; and when the reading means reads the identification information after the game start determination means determines that a player has started the game, the identification information is stored in the start-time identification information storage A game end determination means for determining that the player has finished the game without determining whether or not the identification information stored in the means matches, and a game start determination means before the game start determination means Output means for outputting the game information in a game period corresponding to a period until the game end is determined by the game end determination means so as to be able to be associated with the identification information stored in the start time identification information storage means. (Claim 1).

The game system according to claim 1,
When the player causes the game start determination means to determine the game start determination means, start operation means operated to cause the reading means to read the identification information of the portable terminal, and the player determines the game end determination means as the game end determination means When the game start determining means determines that the reading means is operated to cause the reading means to read the identification information of the mobile terminal, and the game start determining means determines the game start by the one player, the end Invalidation means for invalidating operation of the start operation means until the operation end is operated and the game end determination means determines that the game end of the one player is ended (claim 2). ).

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the operation of the player who starts the game and the operation of the player who finishes the game can be made common in that the identification information of the portable terminal is read. As a result, it is possible to suppress the player from being unable to understand the game end operation and the game start operation or feeling that the operation itself is troublesome.

  In addition, when reading the identification information of the mobile terminal at the end of the game, the game information is associated with the identification information at the start of the game without determining whether or not it matches the identification information at the start of the game. If the player who made the determination forgets to determine the end of the game, other players can also end the game, and in addition, an extra process of determining whether the identification information matches at that time Is no longer necessary.

  According to the invention of claim 2, when it is determined that the game of one player is started, the operation of the start operation means is invalidated until it is determined that the game is ended, so that another game different from the one player It is possible to suppress the person from determining the start of the game. In other words, if one player starts a game and then forgets to determine the end of the game, another player performs an operation to determine the end of the game of one player, and then starts the game again. An operation for making the determination is performed. This makes it possible for other players to clearly recognize that the game end of one player has been specified, and then the other player himself performs the game start operation, It is possible to recognize that has determined the start of the game. As a result, it is possible to prevent other players from being able to recognize which player is associated with which game information is output.

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. In the game hall, corresponding to the gaming machine (slot machine) 1, a lending machine 2 and a data display 3 (game start determination means, start time identification information storage means, game end determination means, output means, invalidation means, 1 output means, 2nd output means, code information display means, start image display means, end image display means, registered identification information storage means, browsing permission means). The two gaming machines 1, the two lending machines 2 and the data display 3 are connected to one relay device 4, and the relay device 4 is connected to the management device 6 (game information counting means) via the LAN 5. Has been. The management device 6 is installed, for example, in a management room in the game hall, and is configured by combining a keyboard 7, a monitor 8, a printer (not shown), and the like. A peripheral device (not shown) such as a POS that performs prize exchange processing is connected to the LAN 5 so as to be able to communicate with the management device 6.

  Although omitted in FIG. 1, hundreds of gaming machines 1 are managed by the management device 6. In the present embodiment, since the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, the gaming value (game medium) is a medal. If the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko machine, the gaming value is a pachinko ball. In the following description, a medal is used as a ball, and may be described as a generic term for game value.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a display window 9, a start lever 10, stop buttons 11 to 13, a display lamp section 14, a liquid crystal display section 15, a medal slot 16, a BET button 17, a tray 18 and the like. The player can visually recognize the symbols of the left reel 19, the middle reel 20 and the right reel 21 provided inside through the display window 9. Each symbol is drawn on the circumferential surface of each of the reels 19 to 21, and is stopped and displayed corresponding to the upper, middle and lower stages of the display window 9 when the reels 19 to 21 are stopped. That is, in the gaming machine 1, a symbol display area corresponding to a total of nine symbols, three symbols for each of the reels 19 to 21, is formed.

  In the gaming machine 1, the start lever 10 is operated in a state where a medal (game value) is inserted from the medal insertion slot 16 by the player or a credit medal (game value) is inserted by operating the BET button 17. When the game is started (when the game is started), the internal lottery is executed and the reels 19 to 21 are started to change, and the stop buttons 11 to 13 are operated to operate so-called pull-in control (a predetermined pull-in range, For example, the fluctuations of the reels 19 to 21 are stopped by control of drawing and displaying symbols up to 4 symbols on the effective line.

The gaming signals shown below are output from the gaming machine 1 according to the game.
-Out signal = output from gaming machine 1 Since the bet state medals are consumed in response to the start operation, the number of bet medals (3) is output in pulses, so the number of out signals × 1 is out (consumption value, number of used media). In addition, the corresponding part is output at the time of replay.
-Safe signal = output from gaming machine 1 Each time one medal is awarded (paid out), one pulse is output, so the number of safe signals × 1 is safe (winning grant value, number of payout media). The medal used for the game is output even when the replay role is won.

BB or RB signal = output from gaming machine 1 Since the level is output during the corresponding bonus state (BB, RB), the signal input period is specified as the bonus state.
The lending machine 2 is operated by a control unit (all not shown) configured by a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I / O. The lending machine 2 includes a money insertion slot 22 for inserting money, a lending button 23 for lending medal, a card insertion slot 24 for inserting an IC card (not shown), an issuing button 25 for issuing an IC card, and a payout operation. A payout button 26, a payout nozzle 27 for paying out medals to the tray 18 of the gaming machine 1 when the payout button 26 is pressed.

  When the lending machine 2 accepts money (money acceptance process), the deposit amount is displayed on the lending machine 2 by adding it to the balance. A lending medal (value to be given) for a unit (for example, 1000 yen) is paid out from the payout nozzle 27 (value giving process), and the price is subtracted from the balance. It should be noted that the money can be accepted for a plurality of times of consideration processing (for example, up to 10,000 yen).

  The lending machine 2 can accept medals earned by the player, and when received, manages it as a possession ball, and when performing a refund process (value addition process) with the possession ball as a consideration, Subtract the same number of medals that have been refunded from the holding ball. Then, when the player depresses the issuance button 25 (issuing operation) while the balance and the remaining ball remain, an IC card that can specify the balance and the remaining ball is issued. In addition, when an IC card is received at the card insertion slot 24, the balance and the holding ball specified by the IC card are taken over.

  The data display device 3 includes a data display unit 28, a call button 29, a menu button 30, a near field communication unit 31 (reading means), and the like. The data display unit 28 displays various types of information such as game information aggregated based on signals input from the gaming machine 1. The call button 29 is operated in order for the player to call an employee of the game hall. The menu button 30 is operated to pop up a predetermined menu. The short-range communication unit 31 receives IDm (identification information) from the FeliCa mobile phone 32 by short-range communication when a mobile phone with FeliCa function (hereinafter referred to as FeliCa mobile phone) 32 (mobile terminal, code information reading means) is touched. read. The FeliCa mobile phone 32 is assumed to have a function of connecting to the Internet 33.

  The management device 6 transmits and receives 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 1, the lending machine 2, and the data display 3. When the game signal output from the gaming machine side is received, game information (out, safe, difference number, exit rate, number of BBs, number of RBs, etc.) of the gaming machine 1 is received. Aggregate and calculate sales information. Further, as will be described later, personal game information (hereinafter referred to as “my data”) is collected and managed corresponding to the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 registered as a member, and table data, model information, etc., corresponding to the gaming machine 1. Manage.

  The management device 6 is connected to the Internet 33 and can communicate with the server 34 via the Internet 33. This server 34 is installed at a game hall, receives and manages my data, table data, model information, etc. from the management device 6, and stores my data, etc., according to the access from the FeliCa mobile 32 possessed by the player. Transmit to the FeliCa mobile phone 32. Note that the mobile phone that can access the server 34 is not limited to the FeliCa mobile phone 32, and a general mobile phone that does not have the FeliCa function as long as it has a function that can be connected to the Internet 33 (hereinafter referred to as a general mobile phone). 35 (portable terminal) is also possible.

  Now, the data display device 3 determines a login by a log-in (game start) operation by a player, which will be described later, and determines a log-out (game end) by a log-out operation, thereby allowing a log-in period (game period) from log-in to log-out. Is managed and the function of transmitting (outputting) the my data to the management device 6 in association with IDm at the time of logout is provided. In this case, since the login operation method and the logout operation method are different depending on the player, the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35 to be associated with the my data is determined according to the combination pattern of the login operation method and the logout operation method as follows. It is supposed to be.

Pattern A: IDm of the logged-in FeliCa (A) when logging in with the same FeliCa (A) after logging in with the registered FeliCa (A).
Pattern B: IDm of the logged-in FeliCa (A) when logging in with a different registered FeliCa (B) after logging in with a registered FeliCa (A).

Pattern C: IDm of the logged-in FeliCa (A) when logging in with a registered FeliCa (A) and then logging out with an unregistered FeliCa (C).
Although the patterns A to C are distinguished from each other, the patterns A to C are not actually distinguished as will be described later. If the login time and the logout time are respectively the FeliCa mobile phone 32, the login is performed. My data is associated with the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of login without determining whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 and the logged-out FeliCa mobile phone 32 have the same IDm.

Pattern D: ID of FeliCa (A) when the login end button is pressed after logging in with FeliCa (A) registered as a member.
-Pattern E: Login is not possible when attempting to log in with an unregistered FeliCa (C).

Pattern F: FeliCa (A) IDm at the time of logout when logging out with FeliCa (A) registered as a member after a login operation (manual operation).
Pattern G: FeliCa (C) IDm at the time of logout when logging out with FeliCa (C) not registered as a member after a login operation (manual operation). In this case, since the player has not registered as a member before logging in, this association is effective on the condition that the member registration is performed by 24:00 on the game day, and the player can store the game information as FeliCa (C). Can be confirmed.

  Pattern H: When a logout operation (manual operation) is performed after a login operation (manual operation), a connection is made to the URL displayed by imaging a QR code (registered trademark, code information) displayed at the end of login ID of FeliCa mobile phone 32. In this case, it is not necessary for the FeliCa mobile phone 32 to read the QR code. For example, the general mobile phone 35 having an imaging function capable of reading the QR code may be used. In this case, the ID of the general mobile phone is used.

  In short, when logging in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 after logging in with the registered FeliCa mobile phone 32, my data is associated with the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of login. In addition, when logging out with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 after logging in by a login operation (manual operation), my data is associated with the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of logout. Then, after associating my data with the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32, the my data is associated with the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32. Further, when logging out by a log-in operation (manual operation) after logging in by a log-in operation (manual operation), my data is associated with the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 connected to the URL displayed by imaging the QR code. . That is, the correspondence can be roughly classified into three types according to the combination of the login operation method and the logout operation method.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the data display device 3 and shows only the operation related to the present invention. It is assumed that the data display device 3 displays the normal screen shown in FIG.
The data display device 3 determines whether the menu button 30 has been pressed (S1: NO) or whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 has been touched (S2: NO). For example, when the player touches the data display device 3 with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 to confirm the previous my data (S2: YES), the IDm is read from the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S3), and the IDm is transmitted to the management device 6. After that (S4), a predetermined start image is displayed as shown in FIG. 2 (e) (S5). In this start image, the my data display unit 36 and the menu display unit 37 are displayed in a pop-up, and a message indicating that various information can be confirmed by accessing with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is displayed on the my data display unit 36. "Button 38 and" start "button 39 are displayed on the menu display section 37. When receiving the IDm from the data display device 3, the management device 6 determines whether the IDm has been registered as a member and transmits the determination result to the data display device 3. In the state where the my data display unit 36 and the menu display unit 37 are displayed in a pop-up, the brightness of other display areas is reduced (indicated by hatched areas in FIGS. 2 and 3) so that the player can The display unit 36 and the menu display unit 37 are easily visible.

  Next, it is determined whether IDm is registered as a member based on the determination result of the management device 6 (S6). If IDm is not registered as a member (S6: NO), a predetermined unregistered screen is displayed on the FeliCa mobile phone. 32 (S8). In this unregistered screen, in addition to the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) indicating the homepage for member registration, the machine data of the gaming machine 1 corresponding to the data display machine 3 and the gaming machine 1 corresponding to the data display machine 3 are displayed. Displays model information. If IDm is registered as a member (S6: YES), a predetermined registration screen is transmitted to the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S7). On this registered screen, in addition to the my data stored in correspondence with IDm by the management apparatus 6, the base data, model information, etc. are displayed. That is, when the FeliCa mobile phone 32 has been registered, browsing of my data using the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is allowed, and when the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is not registered, browsing of my data using the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is not allowed. ing.

  When an unregistered player clicks on the URL indicating the homepage for member registration displayed on the FeliCa mobile phone 32, the FeliCa mobile phone 32 accesses the server 34 via the Internet 33 and displays the homepage for member registration. The player can register as a member in the server 34 by inputting necessary items. The member registration in the server 34 is the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32.

Next, the data display device 3 determines whether the “start” button 39 is pressed (S12: NO) or whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is touched (S13: NO).
On the other hand, as described above, when the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 touching the data display device 3 is already registered as a member, it is possible to log in by touching the FeliCa mobile phone 32 again to the data display device 3. That is, when the player touches the data display device 3 with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S13: YES), it is determined that the player has started the game, and the login start image shown in FIG. 2D is displayed (S14). In this login start image, a message indicating that the start of recording of my data is being processed is displayed. Next, IDm is read from the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S15), IDm is stored (S16), IDm is transmitted to the management device 6 (S17), and it is determined whether or not the member is registered (S18). Therefore, a player who is accustomed to the login operation can easily start to log in to the data display device 3 with a simple operation by touching the data display device 3 twice with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 registered as a member. The management device 6 determines whether the received IDm has been registered as a member, and transmits the determination result to the data display device 3.

  When the IDm is not registered (S18: NO), the data display device 3 identifies the pattern E as described above (S19), and the predetermined NG image shown in FIG. It displays on the display part 36 (S20). In this NG image, a message indicating that the member is not registered and a message prompting member registration are displayed. In other words, login is prohibited in the FeliCa mobile phone 32 that is not registered as a member. Next, the above-mentioned unregistered screen is transmitted to the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S21). As a result, the player can access the member registration home page using the FeliCa mobile phone 32 and register as a member.

  By the way, among the players, there are those who do not have the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or who have the FeliCa mobile phone 32 but are not used to the login operation by the FeliCa mobile phone 32. When such a player logs in, the menu button 30 of the data display device 3 is pushed down. When the menu button 30 is depressed (S1: YES), the data display device 3 displays the menu shown in FIG. 2B on the menu display unit 37 (S9). In this menu, a plurality of buttons including a “previous menu” button 38 and a “my data” button 40 (pre-start operation means) are displayed. When the player depresses the “My Data” button 40 (S10: YES), a predetermined start image shown in FIG. 2C is displayed on the My Data display unit 36 (S11). In this start image, a message requesting that the “start” button is pressed down or the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is touched is displayed, and a “previous menu” button 38 and a “start” button 39 (start operation means) are displayed in the menu display section. 37. In step S10, it is determined whether or not the “My Data” button 40 has been pressed down, and the description when the other buttons are pressed is omitted. However, other processing is executed according to the pressed button. It has become. Similarly, the description of the operation in response to pressing of a button not related to the invention is omitted.

  Next, it is determined whether the “start” button 39 is pressed (S12: NO) or the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is touched (S13: NO), and when the player presses the “start” button 39 (S12: YES), It is determined that the player has started the game, and a login start image shown in FIG. 2D is displayed on the my data display unit 36 (S22).

  As described above, the login operation method includes continuous touch by the member-registered FeliCa mobile phone 32, pressing of the “start” button 39 after the menu button 30 is pressed down, and FeliCa mobile phone 32 after the menu button 30 is pressed down. There are three ways of touch.

  When displaying the login start image as described above, the data display device 3 determines whether the login has been successful (S23: NO) or timed out (S24: NO), and if timed out (S24: YES) ), A predetermined NG image shown in FIG. 3H is displayed on the my data display unit 36 (S25). In this NG image, a message indicating that the start of recording of my data has failed and a message prompting to perform the recording start operation again are displayed. If the login is successful (S23: YES), the login image shown in FIG. 3G is displayed (S26). In this log-in image, the BB count, RB count, BB count, BB count, BB count, cumulative start count, and payout count are displayed on the mydata display unit 36 as my data, and a “close” button 41, A “display fixing” button 42 and a “recording end” button 43 (pre-end operation means) are displayed on the menu display unit 37.

Next, the login operation is invalidated (S27). That is, when one player is logged in, login operations by other players are prohibited until logout described later is determined.
Next, after recording of my data is started (S28), it is determined whether or not the "recording end" button 43 has been pressed (S29). When the player depresses the “record end” button 43 to end the recording of my data (S29: YES), a predetermined end image shown in FIG. 3I is displayed (S30). In this end image, a message for confirming whether to end recording of my data is displayed on the my data display unit 36, and a “Yes” button 44 (end operation means) and a “No” button 45 are displayed on the menu display unit 37. To do.

Next, it is determined whether the “Yes” button 44 is pressed (S31: NO) or whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is touched (S32: NO).
When the player touches the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S32: YES), it is determined that the player has finished the game, and a logout start image shown in FIG. 3 (j) is displayed (S33). In this logout start image, a message indicating that the recording end of my data is being processed is displayed. Next, it is determined whether the user has logged in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S34). If the user has logged in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S34: YES), the user has logged in with the registered FeliCa mobile phone 32 after logging in with the registered FeliCa mobile phone 32. It is specified that it is one of A to C (S35). In this case, it is only specified that it is any one of the patterns A to C, and it is not specified which pattern A to C. As will be described later, when the login time and the logout time are respectively the FeliCa mobile phone 32, my data is associated with the IDm at the time of login without determining whether or not the IDm is the same at the time of login and the time of logout. Because.

  When not logged in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32, that is, when logged in with the "start" button 39 (S34: NO), IDm is read (S36), IDm is transmitted to the management device 6 (S37), and member registration is performed. It is determined whether it has been completed (S38). When IDm has been registered (S38: YES), it is specified that the pattern F is the above-mentioned (S39). In this case, the association destination of the my data is the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 that has logged out. When IDm is not registered (S38: NO), it is specified that the pattern G is described above (S40). In this case, the association destination of my data is the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of logout.

  By the way, since the player does not have the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or has the FeliCa mobile phone 32 but is not accustomed to the logout operation by the FeliCa mobile phone 32, in the display state of the end image shown in FIG. When the “Yes” button 44 is pressed down (S31: YES), it is determined that the player has finished the game, the logout start image shown in FIG. 3J is displayed (S41), and then the “Start” button 39 is used. It is determined whether the user has logged in (S42). When logging in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S42: NO), it is specified that the pattern D is described above (S44). In this case, the association destination of my data is the IDm of the logged-in FeliCa mobile phone 32. If the user has logged in with the “start” button 39 (S42: YES), the pattern H is specified (S43). In this case, the association destination of the my data is the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35 connected to the URL specified from the QR code displayed at the end of login. The URL specified from the QR code is different for each my data. That is, in the case of the FeliCa mobile phone 32, IDm is stored in advance by the management device 6, and IDm and my data are associated with each other and output to the server 34. The server 34 manages the ID (connection ID, for example, IP address or personal URL) of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 in association with IDm, and sets the connection ID corresponding to IDm output by the management device 6. Corresponds to my data. That is, in the case of the FeliCa mobile phone 32, since my data is associated with the ID corresponding to FeliCa IDm, the my data is finally finally associated substantially with FeliCa IDm. In the case of the general mobile phone 35, it is associated with the ID of the general mobile phone 35 connected to the URL specified from the QR code.

  When the data display device 3 identifies the pattern that is a combination of the login operation method and the logout operation method as described above, the data display device 3 determines whether the logout is successful (S45: NO) or time-out (S46: NO). If timed out (S46: YES), the NG image shown in FIG. 3L is displayed (S47). In this NG image, a message indicating that the recording end of the my data has failed and a message prompting the user to perform the recording end operation again is displayed on the my data display unit 36. If the logout is successful (S45: YES), a logout image is displayed according to the pattern (S48). That is, in the case of the patterns A to D and F, the logout image shown in FIG. In this logout image, a message indicating that my data has been saved is displayed on the my data display unit 36, and a “close” button 41 is displayed on the menu display unit 37. In the case of the pattern G, the logout screen shown in FIG. In this logout image, a message indicating that the member is not registered is displayed on the my data display unit 36, and a “close” button 41 is displayed on the menu display unit 37. In this case, since the association destination of the my data is the logged out FeliCa mobile phone 32, it is possible to confirm the my data by the FeliCa mobile phone 32 on condition that membership registration is performed by 24:00 on the game day. In the case of the pattern H, a logout image shown in FIG. In this logout image, a QR code for registering a member is displayed, and a message indicating that this time my data can be stored by accessing the QR code is displayed on the my data display unit 36, and a “close” button 41 is displayed. Is displayed on the menu display section 37. Since the URL indicating the member registration home page is encoded and recorded in the QR code, the member registration is performed by accessing the member registration home page on the server 34 by imaging the QR code with the FeliCa mobile phone 32. be able to. That is, when logging in and logging out by a button operation, it is not possible to associate my data with the FeliCa mobile phone 32, and therefore, it is associated with the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 that captured the QR code. In this case, the membership registration URL is set for each aggregated my data, and if connected to the URL specified by the QR code, the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35 and the my data corresponding to the URL are obtained. It is possible to associate them.

  Next, after the recording of my data is finished (S49), my data (including the serial number, login time, and logout time) and the association destination are transmitted to the management apparatus 6 (S50). The management device 6 transmits the received information to the server 34.

  The server 34 manages my data corresponding to the association destination based on the information received from the game hall. In this case, the pattern H is specified when the player connects to the URL displayed by imaging the QR code with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35 because the association destination has not been specified yet. Specifically, the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35 connected to the URL is specified as an association destination, and the ID is associated with my data. In addition, the server 34 excludes the information for which the association of the my data has been completed from the recording of the my data that has not been associated, and also the information for which the expiration date (in the present embodiment until 24 o'clock) has ended. delete.

As described above, the management device 6 manages my data in association with the association destination (IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32), and the server 34 associates my data with the association destination (ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35). Can be managed in response to. Note that the server 34 manages the base data and the model information in addition to the my data. However, if the base data is periodically transmitted from the management device 6, the model information is stored in the management device 6 when the model is changed. It will be updated when it is sent from.
Next, the data display device 3 validates the login operation (S51). Therefore, after that, it is possible to log in by the login operation of the next player.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be produced.
When the data display device 3 logs in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 and determines the logout with the FeliCa mobile phone 32, the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of login is determined without determining whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of logout coincides with the time of login. Since my data is associated with the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32, the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 can be read, and the operations at the time of login and logout by the FeliCa mobile phone 32 can be made common. This makes it possible to prevent the user from being able to understand the operation and to feel that the operation itself is troublesome.

  In addition, when reading the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the end of the game, since it is configured to associate my data with the ID at the start of the game without determining whether it matches the ID at the start of the game, the logged-in player If the user forgets to log out, other players can also log out, and there is no need to execute an extra process of determining whether the IDm matches at that time.

  If it is determined that one player has logged in, it is possible to prevent other players different from the one player from determining login by disabling the login operation until logout is determined. It is possible to prevent other players from being unable to recognize to which player my data is output.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be modified or expanded as follows, each modified example may be combined with the above-described embodiment, or each modified example may be combined.
It may be applied to a gaming machine different from the illustrated gaming machine, for example, as a pachinko gaming machine, a game medium (ball) circulates inside, and a sealed type that consumes points and fires the gaming medium may be adopted. good.

  Although the operation buttons and the short-range communication unit 31 are provided in the data display device 3, some or all of the functions may be provided in other devices. For example, the structure which provides one part or all part of each function in the gaming machine 1 and the lending machine 2 can be considered. In addition, you may provide in the apparatus different from the apparatus which illustrated each function, for example, although it was set as the structure which memorize | stores IDm of FeliCa carrying 32 in the management apparatus 6, it is also possible to memorize | store in the data display 3. .

  The management device 6 is configured to count game information. However, the game information may be totaled by the island management device, or the totaling device may be changed. For example, game information obtained by collecting game information in some or all of the data display device 3, the relay device 4, and the server 34 may be viewable on a mobile phone. In this configuration, it is preferable that the device for counting game information can identify signal information for counting game information output from the gaming machine 1, the lending machine 2, or the like.

Although the QR code is displayed as the code information, other codes such as a bar code may be used.
Although the game information is confirmed by the mobile phone using the server 34, the game information data may be transmitted directly to the mobile phone.

Although the login (or logout) by the mobile phone or the button operation is performed on the same screen, the login screen by the mobile phone or the login by the button operation may be different.
Although a mobile phone is used as the mobile terminal, a device different from the mobile phone may be adopted as long as it is a terminal possessed by the player. For example, a tablet terminal without a call function may be used. Is possible.

  Although the game information is browsed by the mobile phone, the game information may be browsed by other devices. In this case, game information may be output in association with IDm, and the game information may be confirmed on a device associated with IDm or on a WEB site associated with IDm.

  The communication method between the mobile phone and the data display 3 may be arbitrarily changed. For example, a non-contact near field communication method different from FeliCa can be used as the near field communication. It is also possible to read a mobile ID (ID that can specify a mobile phone) by connecting a mobile phone directly by wire. That is, communication by wired connection is also included in short-range communication. Further, the Internet 33 can be employed as a communication method. Furthermore, it is also possible to specify the mobile phone by the phone number of the mobile phone, and in this case, the phone number corresponds to the identification information.

  The association between my data and IDm may be performed by a device different from the data display device 3. For example, a configuration in which the management device 6 receives IDm and my data and then performs correspondence is conceivable. Note that the reception timing of IDm and my data may be the same, or may be different, such as receiving IDm when receiving a mobile phone and receiving my data when logging out. Further, in this configuration, when the data display device 3 outputs a machine number in order to associate IDm with my data, the management device 6 can easily associate IDm with my data. Even in such a configuration, the game information is output so as to be able to be associated with the identification information.

The information that can be browsed by the registered mobile phone is not limited to the personal data of the player who owns the mobile phone. For example, if a mobile phone is registered, it may be possible to view other people's personal data.
The server 34 manages game information of a specific game hall, but may manage game information received from a plurality of game halls in a group.
