Specifically, the “walking store” is a predetermined measurement start point based on its own location information acquired by the location information acquisition unit 250 by previously storing location information of the amusement store in the storage unit 220. The travel speed (= travel time / travel distance) is calculated after obtaining the travel distance and travel time from the game to the game store that is the measurement end point.
The measurement start point can be arbitrarily set, for example, at home, a station near an amusement shop, a point when an application is activated, or the like.
Then, when the calculated moving speed is, for example, 100 m / min or less (reference walking speed), it can be determined that the user has visited the store on foot.
When it is determined that the player has visited the store on foot, the smartphone 200 transmits “walking store information” to the gaming token server 100.
The operation of the entire system based on “walking store information” will be described later (see FIG. 17).

Next, the operation of the entire system from the predetermined operation to the game token grant in each behavior detection device will be described with reference to FIGS.
Note that the application of the smartphone 200 is activated unless otherwise described.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the bicycle parking detection device 300 detects bicycle parking (S1), it transmits “parking information” to the smartphone 200 (S2).
More specifically, the bicycle information including the “parking information” is included in the BLE beacon signal and transmitted to the vicinity.
Accordingly, the “parking information” is automatically received by the smartphone 200 of the player who is near the bicycle and who is the owner of the bicycle.
However, the smartphone 200 may be configured not to automatically receive the “bicycle parking information”.
For example, as shown in FIG. 18, when the player's confirmation is obtained (when “Yes” is selected), “parking information” is transmitted from the parking detection device 300 or “parking” is performed on the smartphone 200. The reception of “information” can be permitted.

When receiving the “bicycle information” from the bicycle parking detection device 300, the smartphone 200 transmits the “bicycle information” and the token member ID to the gaming token server 100 (S3).
Based on the “bicycle parking information” received from the smartphone 200, the gaming token server 100 identifies out-of-store behavior information (bicycle visit) corresponding to the player's behavior outside the amusement store (parking) (S4).
Specifically, based on the correspondence table of FIG. 4, “out-of-store action information (bicycle visit)” corresponding to “bicycle parking information” is specified.
Further, the gaming token server 100 identifies a token member to which a gaming token is granted based on the token member ID received together with the “bicycle information” (see FIG. 3).
Next, the gaming token server 100 grants a gaming token to the identified token member (S5).
Specifically, based on the correspondence table shown in FIG. 4, the number of game tokens “100” corresponding to “out-of-store action information (bicycle visit)” is given.
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S6).
For example, if the balance of the gaming token before granting is “500”, the gaming token “100” given thereto is added to obtain the total value “600”, and this is updated as a new balance (FIG. 5). reference).
In addition, the game token server 100 manages the game token by updating the balance each time there is a transaction such as use of the game token (lending of game media and exchanging premiums), issuance, grant, etc. Yes.

Note that the balance of the gaming token can be posted on a specific Web page (such as My Page) so that the token member can check at any time by logging in.
Notification can also be performed at the timing when a game token is granted.
FIG. 19 is an example of information displayed on the display unit 230 of the smartphone 200 when a game token is granted.
As shown in FIG. 19, at the time of granting a game token, for example, the number of game tokens granted (“100”), the balance before grant (“500”), and the sum of the number of grants and the balance (“600”) Can let you know.

Specifically, the number of game tokens “30” corresponding to “in-store action information (non-smoking)” is given based on the correspondence table shown in FIG.
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S27).
In connection with the action of “no smoking”, for example, if a smoke sensor is provided for each gaming stand and the smoke sensor does not detect smoke, a player who plays a game on that gaming stand will be “no smoking in the game store” A gaming token can be given as having been performed.

[When the action detection device is a blood pressure monitor in the store]
FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram showing a series of operations when the action detection device is a blood pressure monitor 600 in the amusement store.
That is, FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the entire system when a game token is granted based on the fact that the player uses a blood pressure monitor in the store.
As shown in FIG. 16, when blood pressure measurement is performed in the blood pressure monitor main body 610 (S31), the blood pressure monitor 600 transmits “blood pressure monitor use information” to the smartphone 200 (S32).
More specifically, the BLE beacon signal includes “sphygmomanometer usage information” and is transmitted to the vicinity.
As a result, the “sphygmomanometer usage information” is automatically received in the smartphone 200 of the player who is the user of the sphygmomanometer 600 near the sphygmomanometer 600.
When receiving the “blood pressure meter usage information” from the blood pressure monitor 600, the smartphone 200 transmits the “blood pressure meter usage information” and the token member ID to the gaming token server 100 (S33).
Based on the “blood pressure monitor use information” received from the smartphone 200, the game token server 100 identifies in-store behavior information (use of the sphygmomanometer) corresponding to the behavior of the player in the game store (use of the sphygmomanometer) (S34). .
Specifically, “in-store action information (use of blood pressure monitor)” corresponding to “blood pressure monitor use information” is specified based on the correspondence table of FIG.

Specifically, the number of game tokens “30” corresponding to “in-store action information (use of blood pressure monitor)” is given based on the correspondence table shown in FIG.
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S36).

[When the behavior detection device is a smartphone]
FIG. 17 is a sequence diagram illustrating a series of operations when the behavior detection device is the smartphone 200.
That is, FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the entire system when a game token is granted based on the player visiting the store on foot.
As shown in FIG. 17, when the application is activated on the smartphone 200 (S41), the position tracking of the player is started (S42).
Specifically, the position information acquisition unit 250 acquires the player's position information at regular intervals and acquires each time information while sequentially storing the information.
Thereby, not only the current position of the player but also the moving route and moving time of the player can be specified.

Next, it is determined whether or not the player has visited the amusement store (S43).
Specifically, when the position of the player specified by the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit 250 matches the position information of the game store stored in the storage unit 220 in advance, or included in a predetermined range If it is determined that the player has visited the amusement store, it is determined that the player has not visited the amusement store.
In the present embodiment, “visit” is a concept including “entrance”. For example, here, when it is determined that the player has entered the building of the amusement store based on the location information of the player and the building of the amusement store, it is determined that the player has visited (entered the store). it can.
When it is determined that the player has visited the game store (S43-Yes), it is determined whether or not the player has visited the store on foot (S44).
For example, the travel speed is obtained based on the travel distance and travel time in a specific section from the point when the application is started (at the start of position tracking) to the amusement shop, and if this travel speed is the reference walking speed, it is determined that the store has been visited on foot. Otherwise, it is determined that the store has not been visited on foot.
Note that the measurement start point can be set at an arbitrary point such as the nearest station of a home or an amusement store instead of the point when the application is activated.
When it is determined that the user has visited the store on foot (S44-Yes), the smartphone 200 transmits “walking store information” and the token member ID to the gaming token server 100 (S45).

The gaming token server 100 specifies out-of-store behavior information (walking store) corresponding to the player's behavior outside the gaming store (walking store) based on the “walking store information” received from the smartphone 200 (S46).
Specifically, based on the correspondence table of FIG. 4, “outside shop action information (walking shop)” corresponding to “walking shop information” is specified.
Further, the game token server 100 specifies a token member to which a game token is granted based on the token member ID received together with the “walking store information” (see FIG. 3).
Next, the gaming token server 100 grants a gaming token to the identified token member (S47).
Specifically, based on the correspondence table shown in FIG. 4, the number of game tokens “200” corresponding to “out-of-store behavior information (walking to the store)” is given.
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S48).
The process of S43 is continuously performed until it is determined that the player has visited the store.
Moreover, in S44, when it is not determined that the store has been visited on foot (S44-No), the processing is terminated.

In addition, a reference | standard can be provided in steps so that many game tokens may be provided, so that the movement distance on foot is long.
For example, the number of game tokens given within a walking distance of 2 km may be “200”, and “50” game tokens may be added every time 1 km is increased.
As a result, the health of the player can be further improved, and the visit to the store and the game can be further promoted.

Further, for example, a pedometer (registered trademark) with a communication function can be used as an action detection device in relation to an action with an amount of exercise that satisfies a predetermined criterion, such as “walking”.
In this case, the number of steps until the player visits the store can be transmitted to the smartphone, and a game token can be given when the number of steps exceeds the reference number of steps.
Also in this case, a corresponding number of game tokens can be given by setting the standard number of steps step by step.
Moreover, the smart phone 200 can be used as the pedometer (behavior detection device) by using the step count measurement application of the smart phone 200.
Note that the pedometer or non-smoking device 500 that each player possesses in this way is limited to those designated by the amusement store, such as those obtained through exchange of prizes at the amusement store, and the behavior detection device. be able to.
If it is not a device managed by an amusement store, it is difficult to specify it as a behavior detection device. For example, even if the smartphone 200 receives some information from a pedometer that is not under management, what does it mean? This is because it is difficult to identify.

Next, the operation when purchasing a game token will be described.
FIG. 20 is a sequence diagram showing a series of operations when purchasing a game token in the game store.
It is assumed that an information processing terminal (hereinafter referred to as a dedicated terminal) capable of purchasing a game token is installed in the game store.
Further, it is assumed that the dedicated terminal is connected to the gaming token server 100 via the in-store network so as to be communicable.

As shown in FIG. 20, the player inputs authentication information (token member ID and password) at the dedicated terminal (S51). As a result, the authentication information is transmitted from the dedicated terminal to the game token server 100.
The game token server 100 authenticates the authentication information received from the dedicated terminal (S52). Here, it is assumed that authentication has been obtained.
Next, the player designates the number of game tokens purchased at the dedicated terminal (S53).
Thereby, information on the number of purchased game tokens is transmitted from the dedicated terminal to the game token server 100.
Subsequently, the game token server 100 performs a game token settlement (S54).
The settlement can be performed using various known methods (store cash register (cash), prepaid card, electronic money, etc.). A specific description of settlement will be omitted.
When the payment is completed, the game token server 100 issues a specified number of game tokens (S55).
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S56).
For example, when the game token balance before issuance is “0” and the game token “500” is purchased (issued), the total value “500” is updated as a new balance (see FIG. 5). ).
In addition, the gaming token server 100 manages the gaming token by updating the balance each time there is a gaming token transaction.

In the game token system of the present embodiment, game tokens can be purchased through a system outside the game store (hereinafter referred to as an external system).
Examples of the external system include a convenience store payment system and a virtual currency exchange payment system for buying and selling bit coins and tokens.
In such an external system, a player performs a purchase operation by operating an information processing terminal (hereinafter collectively referred to as a purchase terminal) installed in a smartphone, personal computer, or convenience store owned by the player. Can do.
For this reason, the external system is provided with an information processing apparatus (hereinafter referred to as an external server) that performs a payment process in response to a purchase request for a product (including virtual currency and tokens) handled in the system.
It is assumed that the purchase terminal, the external server, and the game token server 100 can communicate with each other via the Internet or the like.

FIG. 21 is a sequence diagram showing a series of operations when a game token is purchased via an external system.
As shown in FIG. 21, the player accesses the purchase site for the game token provided by the external server from the purchase terminal (S61).
For example, a game token purchase page is selected from various product purchase pages provided by the external system. Thereby, a purchase page for game tokens is displayed on the purchase terminal.
It is assumed that the purchase page includes an input field for authentication information (token member ID and password) and a designation field for the number of purchased game tokens.
Next, the player inputs authentication information (S62). The input authentication information is transmitted from the purchase terminal to the game token server 100 via the external server.
The game token server 100 authenticates the received authentication information (S63). Here, it is assumed that authentication has been obtained.
Subsequently, the player designates the number of game tokens purchased (S64).
Thereby, information on the number of game tokens purchased is transmitted from the purchase terminal to the external server.

Next, the game token is settled in the external server (S65).
The settlement can be made by using various known methods (Internet banking, bank ATM, credit card, electronic money, convenience store store cash register / store installation terminal, etc.).
For example, when making a payment by Internet banking, the external server requests payment from the host computer of a bank or other business operator having jurisdiction over Internet banking. Completion notification). Accordingly, the external server notifies the game token server 100 of the completion of settlement.
Next, the gaming token server 100 issues a specified number of gaming tokens (S66).
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S67).
For example, if the game token balance before issuance is “400” and the game token “300” is purchased (issued) via an external system, the total value “700” is updated as a new balance. (See FIG. 5).
In addition, the gaming token server 100 manages the gaming token by updating the balance each time there is a gaming token transaction.

The game token can be purchased through a virtual currency exchange or the like, but can be sold through the virtual currency exchange or the like.
Thereby, when the value of the game token itself increases like a virtual currency such as bit coins, the game store can obtain a profit as a provider of the game token.

In the game token system, a game can be played using a game machine installed in a game store using a game token.
Specifically, each of the sand counters with a counting function 20 has a function of lending a game medium using a game token so that the game medium lent by this function can be used to play a game machine. Yes.
Each sand 20 with a counting function is provided with a barcode reading unit (for example, a fixed barcode scanner).

FIG. 22 is a sequence diagram showing a series of operations when a game medium is lent out using a game token.
As shown in FIG. 22, the player first displays the barcode of the token member ID on the smartphone 200 owned by the player (S71), and causes the barcode reading unit of the sand 20 with counting function to read this. Perform the operation.
FIG. 23 is an example of a token member ID barcode displayed on the display unit 230 of the smartphone 200.
Each counter 20 with the counting function reads the token member ID from the barcode (S72), and transmits the read token member ID to the gaming token server 100 (S73).
The gaming token server 100 specifies the balance of gaming tokens of the corresponding token member based on the token member ID received from the sand 20 with the counting function (S74).
For example, when the token member ID is “A123”, it is possible to specify that the balance of the gaming token is “600” by referring to the management table shown in FIG.
The gaming token server 100 transmits the balance information of the specified gaming token to each sand 20 with a counting function.
Each sand 20 with counting function receives the game token balance information and calculates the number of game media corresponding to the balance (S75).
For example, when the exchange ratio between medals and gaming tokens is two gaming tokens per medal, the number of medals “300” (= 600/2) corresponding to the balance “600” is calculated. The calculated number of game media can be displayed on a predetermined display means.
That is, in this case, the player can lend medals within the range of “300”.

Next, a game media lending process is performed (S76).
Specifically, the gaming medium is lent out based on the player's renting operation in the sand 20 with each unit counting function.
As a result, the lending number information is transmitted to the gaming token server 100 from the respective sand counters 20 with the counting function.
The game token server 100 that has received the loan number information calculates the number of game tokens corresponding to the loan number (S77).
For example, according to the exchange ratio, when the number of medals is “100”, the number of game tokens “200” (= 100 × 2) corresponding to the number of loans can be calculated.
That is, in this case, the game token “200” is used.
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S78).
For example, when the balance of the gaming token before lending is “600” and “200” is used for the gaming token, “400” is updated and managed as a new balance (see FIG. 5).
In addition, the gaming token server 100 manages the gaming token by updating the balance each time there is a gaming token transaction.

Next, prize exchange using game tokens will be described with reference to FIG.
That is, as a general gaming service in the game hall, it can be exchanged for a prize desired by the player within the range of the number of gaming media possessed by the player, but in the gaming token system of the present embodiment, In addition to such a game service, the player can exchange for a prize desired by the player within the range of the game token possessed by the player.
Here, a case where a store member exchanges prizes using a membership card will be described.
In addition to general prizes such as juices, sweets, and tobacco, prizes handled by amusement stores are also used to promote health such as smoking cessation equipment, smoking cessation gum, tickets for nearby sports facilities, pedometers, and energy drinks. It is also assumed that there is a prize that will contribute (hereinafter referred to as a specific prize).
FIG. 25 is a correspondence table between these specific prizes and the number of exchange tokens, and information on this correspondence table is stored in the prize exchange device 60 in advance.

As shown in FIG. 24, first, the premium card 60 reads the membership card possessed by the store member (S81).
Specifically, when the store member passes the member card to the store clerk, the store clerk operates the card reader 60a provided in the gift exchange device 60 to read the member card.
Thereby, the prize exchange device 60 acquires a member number (card ID). The acquired member number information is transmitted from the prize exchange device 60 to the game token server 100.
Next, the game token server specifies a token member (S82).
Specifically, the corresponding token member ID is specified based on the member number received from the gift exchange device 60 (see FIG. 3).
Next, the gaming token server 100 specifies the balance of gaming tokens (S83).
Specifically, the balance of game tokens managed corresponding to the token member ID is specified (see FIG. 5).

The gaming token server 100 transmits information on the balance of the identified gaming token to the prize exchange device 60. Thereby, the prize exchange device 60 can display the balance of the game tokens.
Next, a prize is selected and determined within the range of the game token balance (S84).
The prize exchange device 60 transmits information on the number of gaming tokens (number of exchange tokens) necessary for exchange with the selected prize to the gaming token server 100.
Then, the game token server 100 updates the balance (S85).
Specifically, the number of exchange tokens received from the prize exchange device 60 is subtracted from the balance of game tokens before update, and the subtraction result is updated as a new balance.
For example, when the balance of the gaming tokens before the prize exchange is “700”, if a pedometer with “50” exchange tokens (see FIG. 25) is selected, “650” (= 700-50) ) Is updated as a new balance (see FIG. 5).
In addition, the gaming token server 100 manages the gaming token by updating the balance each time there is a gaming token transaction.

Here, a case has been described in which a store member exchanges a game token and a prize owned by the store member, but a prize can be exchanged even if the store member is not a store member.
Specifically, this can be realized by providing the gift exchange device 60 with a token member ID input means such as a reader / writer.
For example, since the token exchange device 60 can acquire the token member ID stored in the memory of the smartphone 200 by causing the reader / writer to read the smartphone 200, the prize exchange device 60 manages the token member ID corresponding to the token member ID. The balance of the game tokens being played can be obtained from the game token server 100, and prizes can be exchanged within the range of the balance.

In the game token system, a game token can be given when the prize exchanged in the prize exchange is a specific prize.
Hereinafter, a method of giving a game token when the prize exchanged in the prize exchange is a specific prize will be described with reference to FIG.
It is assumed that the gaming token server 100 stores in advance a correspondence table between the specific prize and the number of granted tokens shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 26, first, in the gift exchange device 60, the member card possessed by the store member is read (S91).
Specifically, when the store member passes the member card to the store clerk, the store clerk operates the card reader 60a provided in the gift exchange device 60 to read the member card.
Thereby, the prize exchange device 60 acquires the member number.
At this time, the gift exchange device 60 specifies the number of stored balls held by the store member. The number of stored balls can be acquired by reading a member card or by inquiring to the member management device 80.
Next, in the prize exchange device 60, a prize exchange process is performed (S92).
Here, it is assumed that a special prize is selected and a prize exchange process is performed.
The prize exchange device 60 transmits the identification information and member number of the selected specific prize to the game token server 100 (S93).
The game token server grants a game token (S94).
Specifically, a specific prize is identified from the identification information received from the prize exchange device 60, and a number of game tokens corresponding to the identified specific prize are given.
For example, when a pedometer is selected as the specific prize, a game token of “5” is given (see FIG. 27).
Then, the gaming token server 100 updates the gaming token balance (S95).

As described above, the gaming token server 100 according to the present embodiment responds to behaviors that contribute to health promotion outside or inside the gaming store of the player based on information transmitted from the smartphone 200 possessed by the player. The out-of-store behavior information and the in-store behavior information are specified, and the game value that the player can use in the amusement store is given based on the out-of-store behavior information and the in-store behavior information.
For this reason, according to this invention, there exists an effect that a player (customer) can be made healthy.
In particular, in recent years, the increase in health care costs associated with the shift to an aging society has become a problem, and health orientation has been increasing in order to prevent becoming ill themselves. Can help with your health.
In addition, since the customer can play the game simply by contributing to health promotion, the profit is large and it is possible to easily make a foothold for the game.
In particular, the player not only rents game media using cash or game tokens to play games, but also achieves a free game even if he / she does not possess cash or game tokens if a predetermined grant condition is achieved. can do.
Therefore, according to the present invention, not only general players but also new customers and dormant customers can be called into the game store.
By the way, since the game token is issued on the game store side, when the game token obtained free of charge by the player is used in the game, the game fee is borne on the game store side.
However, from the game store side, even if there is such a burden, if a new customer or a dormant customer can be called into the game store, there is a possibility that a profit exceeding the burden is obtained.
Also, if the value of the gaming token increases, the customer will want to go to the gaming store and be able to lock in.

On the other hand, as shown in Patent Document 1, the conventional system is only considered for the purpose of urging customers to visit the store, and is not effective as a means to urge customers who have no gaming experience from the beginning. It was a thing.
For example, a playground could not help a player's health.
According to the present invention, since it is possible to expect an unprecedented effect such as playing a game simply by contributing to health promotion, a part of the above-mentioned problems of conventional gaming devices and game hall systems or The whole thing can be solved.

  The preferred embodiment of the gaming device of the present invention has been described above, but the gaming device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. Needless to say.
