FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram for explaining the placement prize registration process.
When the prize is placed on the prize acquisition game device 15, the store clerk registers which prize is placed on which prize acquisition game device 15 by using the terminal device 10.
When the terminal device 10 activates the prize registration function, the terminal device 10 selects and inputs the device ID of the prize acquisition game device 15 for which the prize is to be registered (step S101). Here, since a list of device IDs of the prize acquisition game device 15 installed in the store where the terminal device 10 is used is displayed, the clerk confirms the device ID of the prize acquisition game device 15 to be replenished with the prize. Then, select and input the same device ID from the candidates. As for the device ID, for example, a sticker or the like on which the device ID is described is attached in advance to any place of the prize acquisition game device 15. The clerk can grasp the device ID by looking at the device ID written on this sticker.

When the device ID is input, the terminal device 10 activates the camera function (step S102). The clerk takes a picture of the front side of the prize to be placed (replenished) on the exhibition stand of the prize acquisition game device 15 by the terminal device 10 (step S103).
The terminal device 10 transmits the captured prize image to the prize management device 40 (step S104).

When the prize management device 40 receives the prize image from the terminal device 10 (step S201), the prize management device 40 searches the prize image storage unit 43 for an image similar to the received prize image (step S202). When the image having the highest matching degree is obtained, the prize management device 40 reads out the series name and the prize name corresponding to the image (step S203) and transmits them to the terminal device 10 (step S204). Here, the image having the highest matching degree or the prize image taken from another angle can be read out from the prize image storage unit 43 and transmitted to the terminal device 10.

When the terminal device 10 receives the series name, the prize name, and the prize image from the prize management device 40, the terminal device 10 displays the information on the screen (step S106).

Here, regarding the placed prize information registered this time, the information is not written in the "exchange date and time" column at this stage.

By executing this placed prize registration process, the prize to be replenished can be specified by capturing the image of the prize to be replenished by the terminal device 10, so that a wireless tag or the like is attached to each of the prizes to be replenished. No need to install.
Since there are various types of prizes and new types of prizes are frequently introduced, it is very difficult for a clerk to identify the series name or series ID just by looking at the prize to be replenished. However, in the above-mentioned mounted prize registration process, the series name, the series ID, the prize name, and the prize image stored in the prize image storage unit 43 are acquired and displayed on the terminal device 10 by performing a similar image search. Then, the clerk can identify the prize to be replenished by using these as clues.

Here, the clerk can also count the number of replenishments and then input from the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 may ask the clerk to input the number of replenishment after it is determined that the answer indicating that the answer is correct in the determination in step S106 has been input. Then, the terminal device 10 may also transmit the replenishment number when notifying the confirmation in step S107. When the replenishment number is input from the terminal device 10, the placed prize storage unit 44 can also store the replenishment number.

In addition, after the above-mentioned prizes are replenished and a certain period of time has passed, the clerk acquires the prizes in consideration of the customer base, the number of visitors, the time zone, the usage status of the prize acquisition game device 15, and the like. The prizes placed on the display stand of the game device 15 may be replaced. Such replacement may be performed every few days or several hours.
When performing such replacement, the clerk uses the terminal device 10 to carry out the placement prize registration process. Then, when the placement prize registration process accompanying the replacement of the prize is performed, it is additionally registered in the placement prize storage unit 44 as the newly registered placement prize information. In addition, based on the replaced device ID, among the placed prize information corresponding to this device ID, for one record of the immediately preceding placed prize information (placed prize information in which the exchange date and time information is not written). , The date and time when the placement prize registration process accompanying the replacement was performed is stored as the replacement date and time. Thereby, in the prize acquisition game device 15, the series ID placed on the exhibition stand and the period (the period from the replenishment date and time to the exchange date and time) placed on the exhibition stand can be specified.
