Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an automatic read / write device for amusement hall prizes, which is equipped with a memory element capable of grasping the flow of gold goods in a distribution channel where the prizes for amusement halls are bought and sold.

[0002]

[Background of the invention]

 At amusement halls such as pachinko parlors, players can exchange these for prizes according to the number of balls (prize balls) they have acquired. If the prizes do not suit your taste, or if you get a large amount of these prizes, the player brings them to a collection dealer who has registered as an antique dealer for cash. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the player causes the antique dealer to collect the prize at a discounted price to some extent, the antique dealer obtains a certain margin, and sells to the wholesaler such as a wholesaler, and the wholesaler can be reused. For things, we are urging them to pick up at the amusement hall.

However, when an antique dealer who collects a prize returns the prize to the game hall as it is without passing through the above-mentioned regular route, the player and the antiquarian exist for the purpose of merely exchanging money. As a result, the game itself will significantly arouse euphoria, resulting in an unhealthy environment in which only the gambling property (commercial purpose) is extremely emphasized.

By the way, as the prizes, light, thin, small and small articles having relatively high portability such as lighter stones, watch bands, bottled perfumes, etc. are handled in a resin case or the like which is difficult to open. Therefore, the prize itself is practically hardly contaminated, so that the product value does not decrease, and direct transactions from antique dealers to the amusement arcade do not often take the regular route as described above. There was a risk that it would be played and that the game itself as described above would be unhealthy. Such non-regular distribution channels tend to obscure the flow of money and free gifts, which may have an anti-social impact in terms of tax law or criminal law.

Therefore, in order to secure a proper route, the prize once handed to the antique dealer by the player is definitely used at that stage as a free gift, and is sold to the wholesaler. Premiums are being introduced that cannot be re-commercialized (recycled) unless asked. As an example of this, the present applicant has filed an application for Utility Model Registration No. 3028702 (Application No. 8-2293) "Gift for amusement hall", and as shown in FIG. Is installed, and when the memory element 54 is read and written by the radio waves emitted from the reader / writer when it is sold to an antique dealer, the new state is canceled (obsolete) and put into a used state. By reading and writing the storage element 54 by radiated waves, the used state is released (reproduced) to be a new state so that it can be placed on the subsequent distribution channel. Then, by transmitting the prize information from the antique dealer and wholesaler to the management company, the management company can grasp the distribution status of the prizes for the amusement park, and even if there is an unauthorized distribution channel, the prize is distributed. By confirming the existence of the prize for the amusement arcade whose information has not been modified, it is possible to know this existence, and it has become possible to secure a normal distribution channel for the prize.

By the way, the amusement hall prize 50 which reads and writes the storage element 54 by the radio wave as described above transmits and receives the microwave information between the antennas provided in both the amusement hall prize 50 and the reader / writer, thereby transmitting the prize information. Since transmission is performed, if the distance between these antennas is too large or the relative positional relationship is improper, the reading and writing of premium information will not be performed correctly. Therefore, if the transmission power of the radio wave is increased so that it is not affected by the distance between the antennas and the relative positional relationship, there is a trade-off problem that the premium information of other adjacent amusement hall prizes is also read and written. ing.

Further, the reader / writer is installed in an antique dealer and a wholesaler, but there are demands depending on the respective usage modes. First of all, at the wholesaler, the number of prizes for the amusement hall brought in is large, so not only is it labor-intensive to perform the work manually, but also both the amusement hall prize and the reader / writer. The relative positional relationship of the included antennas tends to be inadequate, which reduces work efficiency. Therefore, it is possible to read and write the amusement hall prizes and the antennas provided in the reader / writer in an appropriate relative positional relationship, and to continuously handle a large number of amusement hall prizes. The advent of read / write devices is desired.

Further, in the antique dealer, when the transmission path of the prize information is not established between the amusement hall and the management company, within the time when the prize information is not updated, for example, within the expiration date of the prize. During the same day, the antique dealer will be able to directly trade the amusement hall prizes received from the player with the amusement hall without passing through the reader / writer. In order to prevent such a direct transaction, it is necessary that the prize information brought into the antique dealer by the player be immediately changed to give the antiques information.

[0009]

[Technical issues that we attempted to develop]

 Against such a background, the present invention has a readable / writable storage device for the amusement hall prize so that it can be released from a new state (obsolete) at the stage of being sold to an antique dealer and placed on the subsequent distribution channel. However, in the distribution channel where the prizes are sold and recycled, the development of a new automatic read / write device for amusement halls that can continuously and reliably recycle a large number of amusement hall prizes Is a technical issue.

This is provided with an encoder section 40 and a decoder section 41 for processing a signal (prize information) to be written in the prize 50 for a game hall, and a communication section 42 for transmitting the prize information to the outside. Further, as an input device of the premium information (master data), a card reader 43 for reading the premium information (master data) from a storage medium such as an IC card is provided. This IC card stores, as an example, the prize information set at the wholesaler. By setting the premium information only at the wholesaler, it is possible to prevent unauthorized writing at an antique dealer. . When setting manually, use a keyboard, etc. as appropriate. Further, by using the card reader 43, the IC card can be used as a storage medium for the processed prize information of the game hall prize 50. Further, it further comprises a display 44 for displaying the prize information and the like, a printer 45 for printing the prize information and the like.

Next, the game hall prize 50 will be described. This is the invention disclosed in the Utility Model Registration No. 3028702 (Actual Application No. 8-2293) "Gift for amusement hall" by the applicant, and as shown in FIG. 52, a driver IC 53, a memory unit 55 having a storage element 54 mounted thereon, and an antenna 56, which are hermetically sealed by a lid 59.

The holder main body 51 is, for example, a card-shaped casing having a thickness of about 70 mm × 45 mm × 3 mm, and is made of an appropriate material such as synthetic resin.

As the storage element 54, for example, an EEPROM enclosed in an 8-pin package is used. This is a non-volatile memory that can be electrically read and written, and has a storage capacity of 8 bytes as an example, but this storage capacity can be appropriately selected as needed.

The driver IC 53 is configured by internally configuring each circuit such as a wireless unit, a modulation unit, a reader unit, and a writer unit. The memory element 54 and the driver IC 53 appropriately include chip components such as capacitors and resistors as peripheral components.

The antenna 56 is connected to the memory unit 55 as described above by wiring. The antenna 56 is, for example, a loop antenna formed by winding a conductor wire that has been appropriately insulated a plurality of times to form an annular shape. By the way, this loop antenna is light, thin, short and small, has a broad directivity, and is of the magnetic resonance type.

The prize main body 52 substantially determines the value of the game hall prize 50, while the holder body 51 and the memory unit 55 and the like do not have a value as a prize. It is possible to adopt various articles and shapes according to the value (denomination) given to 50.

Electric power for reading / writing the storage element 54 will be described. The amusement hall prize 50 includes an electric circuit as described above, but does not have a driving power supply. Therefore, the induced electric power due to electromagnetic induction is used, and the antenna 56 functions not only as a high frequency receiving element but also as an electromagnetic induction inducing element. Specifically, when a current (high-frequency current) flows through the antenna 25 in the read / write unit 10 of the automatic read / write device 1, a magnetic flux φ is generated so as to penetrate the opening surface of the antenna 25. When the game hall prize 50 approaches in this state, the magnetic flux φ penetrating the opening surface of the antenna 56 changes, and electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction. The electromotive force drives the driver IC 53 included in the game hall prize 50 to read / write the prize information from / to the storage element 54.

The automatic read / write device 1 for amusement hall prize of the present invention and the amusement hall prize 50 handled thereby are configured as described above, and as shown in FIG. 10, they are provided in antique dealers and wholesalers, respectively. In addition, build a management system connected to the management company (via modem, etc.). Incidentally, the automatic reading / writing device 1 installed in these antique dealers and the wholesaler have the same basic configuration, but as described in the background of the invention, there are demands depending on their respective usage modes. First, the automatic read / write device 1 installed in the wholesaler has a large number of prizes 50 for the amusement hall brought in, so as described above, a large number of the amusement hall prizes 50 are collected by using the magazine 18M and the good article magazine 20M. The configuration is such that it can be handled continuously.

In addition, the automatic reading / writing device 1 installed in an antique dealer sets the insertion portion 7 outside the building by setting a long distance between the insertion portion 7 and the read / write portion 10 as shown in FIGS. Provided. The game room prize 50 can be directly inserted by the player, and the game room prize 50 cannot be taken out on the way except from the non-defective product discharge portion 8a or the defective product discharge portion 8b. did. The usage mode of the automatic read / write device 1 will be described below.

First, the player who has acquired the game hall prize 50 at the game hall brings this thing into an antique dealer and throws it into the loading unit 7 (entrance guide 7 a) of the automatic reading / writing device 1.

When the automatic read / write device 1 detects that the game hall prize 50 has been loaded by the photo interrupter 28 a provided in front of the loading section 7, it activates the step motor 16 to cause the conveyor belt 13 to perform an endless orbital motion. give. Then, the amusement hall prize 50 falls between the feed pins 13a provided on the carrying belt 13, and when the presence of the prize body 52 is detected by the proximity sensor 27, the conveyor belt 13 is further advanced to the amusement hall prize 50. Is located near the read / write unit 10. At this time, the amusement hall prize 50 located above the aforesaid gaming hall prize 50 is dropped between the rear feed pins 13a.

In the read / write section 10, the game hall prize 50 passes through the magnetic flux φ generated by the current flowing in the antenna 25, and at this time, the magnetic flux φ penetrating the antenna 56 changes, so that electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction. Then, the driver IC 53 in the amusement hall prize 50 is driven, and wireless communication is started between the read / write unit 10 and the amusement hall prize 50. A high frequency R carrying inquiry data (4 MHz as an example) is radiated from the antenna 25 in the read / write unit 10. This high frequency R is received by the antenna 56 in the prize 50 for the amusement arcade, and the inquiry data is sent by the driver IC 53. And the security information in the storage element 54 are compared. As a result, if the inquiry data is appropriate, the security logic is released and the free gift information such as store information, denomination information, transaction history and date information can be read. Then, the prize information is placed on the high frequency R by the RF section in the driver IC 53 and radiated from the antenna 56.

In the read / write unit 10, the high frequency R is received and demodulated by the antenna 25 and the RF unit 26. Subsequently, the decoder unit 41 reads the prize information. Next, the encoder unit 40 generates new prize information in which the transaction history is modified, and the RF unit 26 puts it on the high frequency R and radiates it from the antenna 25. At this time, the read / write unit 10 transmits the transmitted / received premium information to the management company via the communication unit 42. This transmission to the management company is performed after the completion of writing to the amusement hall prize 50, which will be described later, and wireless communication is performed again to confirm that the writing to the amusement hall prize 50 has been correctly made. Good. The management company stores prize information for each store based on the store information.

The high frequency R radiated from the antenna 25 is received by the antenna 56 in the prize 50 for a game hall, and is written in the memory element 54 by the driver IC 53. At this point, the amusement hall prize 50 becomes old because the transaction information stored therein is modified. After that, the prize information written in the memory element 54 from the game hall prize 50 is radiated again on the high frequency R. Then, the decoder unit 41 confirms that the prize information is modified.

When the above-described series of reading and writing is correctly performed, the game hall prize 50 is conveyed with the flap 21 closed, discharged from the non-defective product discharging section 8a, and sequentially loaded into the non-defective product magazine 20M. Do it. The advance of the conveyor belt 13 is appropriately performed by the rotation control of the step motor 16. As information for this, the positions of the amusement park prize 50 on the conveyor belt 13 are constantly monitored by the photo interrupters 28a and 28c. . On the other hand, if the read data is not genuine (free gifts from other stores, expired free gifts, etc.), the writing was not performed normally and the read data was not modified, or the writing was performed normally. However, if the reading is not normally performed, the picking-up mechanism 9 picks up the prize 50 for the game hall. Specifically, when the prize 50 for the game arcade reaches the discharge section 8, the solenoid 22 is excited to lower the flap 21, and the discharge path is set to the defective product chute 23 side. It is extracted from 8b. By the way, since the occurrence rate of such itself is expected to be extremely low, a tray 24 is provided at the next stage of the defective product discharging portion 8b so that the game hall prize 50 is located there. Like the non-defective product discharging portion 8a, a magazine may be provided.

When all the prizes 50 for the game hall brought in by the player have been processed in this way, the total denomination is counted, appropriately displayed on the display 44, and printed on the recording paper by the printer 45. After recording with an IC card, money is paid to the player. It is also possible to make the antique dealer unmanned by making this payment with an automated teller machine.

At this point, the communication unit 42 transmits the detected premium information to the management company. The management company stores prize information for each store based on the store information.

In the antique dealer, when a certain number of prizes 50 for the amusement hall are collected or every day, the prize 50 for the amusement hall that has become an antique is wholesaled to a wholesaler. At this time, if the non-defective magazine 20M in the antique dealer and the magazine 18M in the wholesaler have the same shape and the non-defective magazine 20M is brought in as a carrying case, refilling of the prize 50 for the amusement hall becomes unnecessary, At the wholesaler, the workability can be improved because it can be directly loaded into the automatic reading / writing apparatus 1.

In the wholesaler, by mounting the magazine 18M (good product magazine 20M) loaded with a plurality of the amusement hall prizes 50 on the magazine holder 18, the storage element of the amusement hall prize 50 is read and written in the same manner as the reading and writing in the antique dealer. The transaction information stored in 54 is rewritten, and the price is paid to the antique dealer. Upon receiving this free gift information, the management company can confirm that the free gift 50 for amusement arcade is on the regular distribution route, and can also know the number or amount of money sold and sold. Therefore, the management company can grasp the distribution status of the amusement hall free gift 50, and even if there is an unauthorized distribution channel, by confirming the existence of the amusement hall free gift 50 whose free gift information has not been modified. I can know.
