  On the other hand, the flow of the David deposit when the member player operates the David key switch 426 will be described. Based on the detection of the operation of the David key switch 426, the MPU 448 of the depositing device 21 has a card as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the frequency specified from the frequency data read by the reader / writer 445 is equal to or less than a predetermined value that can be deposited (in this embodiment, 10 frequency corresponding to 1000 yen). If not, the process is interrupted. If it is less than the predetermined value, a message prompting the designation of the deposit amount is displayed on the display unit 404 and provided to the amount input key switch 422 from the member player. The designation of the deposit amount by operating the key for each amount is accepted, the received deposit amount, the member ID temporarily stored above and the frequency data are stored. And transmits the data and the depositing apparatus 21 to confirm information including the device ID that is assigned uniquely to the system controller 100.

  Based on the reception of the confirmation information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) specifies whether or not the member ID included in the received confirmation information exists in the card master table in the card master table. Specifies the size of the remaining frequency stored in the card master table in association with the member ID, and determines the size of the remaining frequency and the frequency specified from the frequency data included in the received confirmation information. And whether or not the member card can be used is determined from the stored contents of the use and non-use stored in association with the member ID included in the confirmation information received in the card master table.

  Then, in the case where these frequency verifications match and the determination result of the availability is usable, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) is specific to the game arcade where the system controller 100 is installed in the received confirmation information. Is added to the game server ID and relayed to the management server 140. If the frequency check does not match or the determination result is unusable, unusable information indicating unusable is transmitted to the depositing device 21 and the receiving membership card is returned. The confirmation information is not relayed to the management server 140.

  Based on the reception of the relayed confirmation information, the management server 140 (CPU 142) associates the game hall ID added to the received confirmation information with the member ID included in the received confirmation information, and the member. Each target period set on the usage limit setting screen (see FIG. 12 (a)) while identifying the name and e-mail address stored in the ID table (see FIG. 10 (b)). Specifically, if one day of use is set as the target period, the total amount stored in the member-specific payment history table in association with the specified name and e-mail address is calculated as the target period. If the most recent month has been set, the monthly total amount stored in the member-specific payment history table in association with the specified name and e-mail address is calculated as To identify the day both the total amount and the month total amount) if it is set both in the near month. That is, the daily total amount or the monthly total amount associated with the game hall ID and the member ID received via the name and electronic mail address as the member attribute information is specified. Whether the sum of the sum of the deposit amount included in the received confirmation information for the identified daily total amount or monthly total amount exceeds the usage limit (upper limit amount) set for each target period If the determination result is excessive (NG), a depositable amount that is the difference between the usage limit (upper limit amount) and the combined amount is calculated.

  Then, the determination result including the contents of these determination results and the device ID included in the received confirmation information is transmitted to the system controller 100 of the game hall identified from the received game hall ID. When the determination result exceeds (NG), the determination result including the deposit possible amount calculated above is transmitted.

  Based on the reception of the determination result, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) relays the received determination result to the depositing device 21 having the device ID included in the received determination result.

  Upon receipt of the relayed determination result, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) specifies the determination content from the received determination result, and when the specified determination result is NG (excess), the deposit included in the determination result is possible. The amount is displayed on the display unit 404 and re-acceptance of the deposit amount up to the deposit possible amount is performed.

  On the other hand, when the identified determination result is OK (not exceeded), a message prompting the insertion of the cash card into the cash card insertion slot 402 is displayed on the display unit 404, the cash card is received from the member player, Account information, which is recorded information recorded on the accepted cash card, is read by the cash card reader 413, the read account information is temporarily stored, and the account information and the received deposit amount are stored. A payment request including the above is transmitted to the debit payment terminal 160.

  Based on the reception of the payment request, the debit payment terminal 160 relays the received payment request to the debit payment management server 180, and the approval / rejection information (specifically, the response information returned from the debit payment management server 180 in response to the relay). If the deposit amount included in the received settlement request is within the range of the account balance of the account specified from the account information and the deposit amount can be withdrawn, it becomes the permission information of settlement, and the deposit amount If the payment amount is larger than the balance of the account and it is impossible to withdraw the deposit amount, the settlement information is returned to the depositing apparatus 21.

  Based on the reception of the password transmission request, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) displays a message prompting the input of the password for using the cash card on the display unit 404, and receives the password from the member player. Then, the accepted personal identification number forming the settlement request in the present invention is transmitted to the debit settlement terminal 160.

  Based on the reception of the password, the debit payment terminal 160 relays it to the debit payment management server 180 together with the received password number and the account information relayed above, and from the debit payment management server 180 based on the relayed password. The verification result is obtained, and the verification result is transmitted to the depositing apparatus 21. When the passwords match in the verification of the passwords, the debit payment management server 180 determines that the deposit amount included in the payment request received from the debit payment terminal 160 is the account included in the payment request. Requests for withdrawal from an account identified from information to a management computer (not shown) of a financial institution corresponding to the account (some financial institutions may be a management network that integrates and manages multiple financial institutions) The debit payment terminal 160 is installed by deducting the payment fee from the total amount deducted based on the payment request transmitted from the debit payment terminal 160 in a predetermined period. Settlement is performed by carrying out the process to transfer money to the designated account at the game hall.

  Based on the reception of the verification result, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) interrupts the process and returns all the membership card and cash card when the verification result is “NG” indicating the mismatch of the passwords. When the processing is stopped and the collation result is “OK” indicating that the passwords match, the deposit information including the deposit amount received from the member player, the deposit type (debit deposit), and the member ID is provided in the system. It transmits to the controller 100.

  Based on the receipt of this deposit information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102), in the card master table, stores the magnitude of the remaining frequency stored in association with the member ID included in the received deposit information and the magnitude of the remaining David deposit frequency. At the same time, the frequency corresponding to the deposit amount included in the received deposit information is added and updated, and the item of the latest deposit type corresponds to David deposit, which is the deposit type included in the received deposit information. After storing “David” and updating the card master table, an update completion notification is returned to the depositing apparatus 21 that is the transmission source of the received deposit information.

  Based on the reception of the update completion notification, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) reads out the amount corresponding to the deposit amount received from the member player from the receiving membership card temporarily stored in the above. A member who is accepting frequency data that can be added to the frequency (remaining frequency) specified from the frequency data to calculate a new residual frequency and specify the new residual frequency. The card reader / writer 445 records the card to update the frequency data, returns the updated membership card and the accepted cash card, and receives the receipt on which the David usage details are printed from the receipt discharge port 408. By issuing the card, the member player can use the returned remaining membership card for the game with the card unit 3 using the new remaining power. To become.

  Further, based on the receipt of the deposit information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) updates the card master table as described above, and adds the received deposit type to the deposit information including the David deposit as the game hall ID of the game hall. Is transmitted (relayed) to the management server 140.

  Based on the receipt of the deposit information including the deposit type of the David deposit to which the game hall ID is added, the management server 140 (CPU 142) determines the game hall ID added to the received deposit information and the received deposit information. The name and e-mail address stored in the member ID table (see FIG. 10 (b)) and the member information table by game hall (see FIG. 10 (a)) are specified in association with the member ID included in In addition, whether or not there is a storage of the cumulative David deposit amount corresponding to the received game hall ID and member ID in the member-specific deposit history table in association with the specified name, e-mail address and date of the day. If it exists, the deposit amount included in the deposit information is added to the cumulative David deposit amount corresponding to the received game hall ID and member ID, and updated. If the stomach, as well as new stores and the deposit amount and a game arcade ID and the member ID thus received, to update the member-based payment history table by updating the total of the corresponding day value and month total amount.

  Next, after using the new residual frequency amount deposited in the membership card in the depositing device 21 in the game in the card unit 3, the residual frequency remains in the membership card. The flow of adjusting the remaining frequency in the checkout device 22 will be described with reference to FIG. 16. When the member player inserts a member card into the card insertion slot 502 for checkout, the checkout device 22 (MPU 523) The member ID and the frequency data recorded on the inserted member card are read by the card reader / writer 515, and the read member ID, the frequency data, the member ID, and the payment device 22 are given uniquely. A payment permission request including the device ID that has been read, and a payment amount corresponding to the frequency specified from the read frequency data is displayed in the amount display unit 507. To display.

  Based on the receipt of the settlement permission request, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) specifies whether or not the member ID included in the received settlement permission request exists in the card master table. The magnitude of the remaining frequency stored in the card master table in association with the ID is specified, and the size of the residual frequency is compared with the frequency specified from the frequency data included in the received settlement permission request. At the same time, it is determined whether or not the member card can be used from the stored contents of the use or non-use stored in association with the member ID included in the payment request received in the card master table.

  In the case where the frequency collation matches in the determination and the determination result of the availability is usable, the David stored in association with the member ID included in the settlement permission request received in the card master table is stored. The amount of usage from the deposit and the game time from the David deposit are specified, and the magnitude of the usage from the identified David deposit and the game time from the David deposit are stored by reception from the management server 140. It is determined whether or not each condition that enables the settlement set on the above-described settlement possible condition setting screen specified by the above setting information is satisfied.

  And, when the usage frequency and the game time from the identified David deposit satisfy the conditions enabling these settlements, the settlement authorization is transmitted to the settlement apparatus 22 that is the transmission source of the received settlement settlement request, When the frequency check is inconsistent, when the determination result of availability is unusable, or when each usage condition and game time from the specified David deposit are not satisfied for each condition that enables settlement The non-payment information including the fact that the settlement is impossible is transmitted to the settlement apparatus 22 that is the transmission source of the received settlement permission request.

  Specifically, taking the card master table shown in FIG. 8 as an example, if the member ID included in the checkout permission request is, for example, “K01-00001”, the payment from the David deposit corresponding to “K01-00001” will be described. Since the usage frequency is “0” and the game time from David deposit is “5 minutes”, as described above, it is set on the checkable condition setting screen shown in FIG. Since it does not satisfy 20 degrees corresponding to the minimum usage amount of 2000 yen and does not satisfy the minimum game time of 10 minutes, the settlement according to the settlement permission request including the member ID of the “K01-00001” Is not permitted, but if the member ID included in the settlement request is, for example, “K01-0003”, the payment from the David deposit corresponding to “K01-0003” Since the degree of utility is “30” and the game time from David deposit is “20 minutes”, payment according to the payment request including the member ID of “K01-0003” is permitted. , The settlement authorization is returned to the settlement apparatus 22.

  Based on the receipt of this settlement authorization, the settlement apparatus 22 (MPU 523) uses the banknote discharge port 513 and / or coins for cash corresponding to the magnitude of the frequency specified from the frequency data read from the member card being accepted. The card is discharged from the outlet 511 and the frequency data of the member card being received is updated to frequency data of “0” by the card reader / writer 515.

  Then, the settlement information including the settlement frequency data which is the magnitude of the frequency provided for the discharge (payout) of these cash and the member ID read from the member card being received is transmitted to the system controller 100.

  Based on the reception of the payment information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) includes the remaining frequency from the magnitude of the remaining frequency stored in the card master table in association with the member ID included in the received payment information. The amount of frequency specified is subtracted from the settlement frequency data to be updated, and the remaining frequency (including cash deposit remaining frequency and David deposit remaining frequency) is set to “0”, and the settlement of the source of received settlement information is performed. An update completion notification is returned to the device 22.

  Based on the reception of the update completion notification, the settlement apparatus 22 (MPU 523) ejects the membership card from the card insertion slot 502 and returns it.

The MPU 448 of the depositing device 21 has a frequency specified by the frequency data read by the card reader / writer 445 equal to or less than a predetermined value (in this embodiment, 10 degrees corresponding to 1000 yen) that can be deposited. If it is not less than the predetermined value, the process is interrupted. If it is less than the predetermined value, a message prompting the designation of the deposit amount is displayed on the display unit 404, and the member player The designation of the deposit amount by operating the key of each amount provided on the amount input key switch 422 is accepted, and the received deposit amount and the member card being accepted are accepted. The member ID and the frequency data and the depositing apparatus 21 which is temporarily stored is read from the de confirmation information including the device ID that is assigned uniquely, as shown in FIG. 18, is transmitted to the system controller 100.

  Based on the reception of the confirmation information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) specifies whether or not the member ID included in the received confirmation information exists in the card master table in the card master table. Specifies the size of the remaining frequency stored in the card master table in association with the member ID, and determines the size of the remaining frequency and the frequency specified from the frequency data included in the received confirmation information. And determining whether or not the member card can be used from the stored contents of use or not stored in association with the member ID included in the confirmation information received in the card master table and receiving the card in the card master table. That is not associated with the member ID included in the confirmation information. Propriety of David payment from the content to the membership card is determined (Yes, impossible).

  Then, the confirmation information received includes the determination result including the determination contents regarding the use of the membership card based on the comparison of the frequencies and the storage contents of the use permission and the determination contents regarding the determination of the possibility of the David payment based on the storage contents of the non-david payment. Is sent back to the depositing device 21 of the transmission source.

  The depositing device 21 (MPU 448) that has received the determination result, if the received determination result includes a determination content indicating whether or not the member card can be used or whether or not the David deposit is possible, When the card is returned and the received determination result does not include the impossible determination content, that is, when the received determination result includes only the determination content, insertion of the cash card into the cash card insertion slot 402 Is displayed on the display unit 404, a cash card is received from a member player, and the account information which is recorded information recorded on the received cash card is read by the cash card reader 413. , Temporarily storing the read account information, and debiting a settlement request including the account information and the received deposit amount. It is transmitted to the pre-terminal 160.

  Based on the reception of the payment request, the debit payment terminal 160 relays the received payment request to the debit payment management server 180, and the contents of the information on whether or not payment is returned from the debit payment management server 180 according to the relay If it is possible, a password transmission request is returned to the depositing device 21.

  Based on the reception of the password transmission request, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) displays a message prompting the input of the password for using the cash card on the display unit 404, and receives the password from the member player. The accepted password is transmitted to the debit payment terminal 160.

  Based on the reception of the password, the debit payment terminal 160 relays it to the debit payment management server 180 together with the received password number and the account information relayed above, and from the debit payment management server 180 based on the relayed password. The verification result is obtained, and the verification result is transmitted to the depositing apparatus 21.

  Based on the reception of the verification result, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) interrupts the process and returns all the membership card and cash card when the verification result is “NG” indicating the mismatch of the passwords. When the processing is stopped and the collation result is “OK” indicating that the passwords match, the deposit information including the deposit amount received from the member player, the deposit type (debit deposit), and the member ID is provided in the system. It transmits to the controller 100.

  Based on the receipt of this deposit information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102), in the card master table, stores the magnitude of the remaining frequency stored in association with the member ID included in the received deposit information and the magnitude of the remaining David deposit frequency. At the same time, the frequency corresponding to the deposit amount included in the received deposit information is added and updated, and the item of the latest deposit type corresponds to David deposit, which is the deposit type included in the received deposit information. After storing “David” and updating the card master table, an update completion notification is returned to the depositing apparatus 21 that is the transmission source of the received deposit information.

  Based on the reception of the update completion notification, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) reads the magnitude of the frequency corresponding to the deposit amount received from the member player from the frequency data stored temporarily after being read from the receiving membership card. A new residual frequency is calculated by adding to the specified frequency (remaining frequency), and the frequency data that can specify the new residual frequency is stored in the member card that is being received. The frequency data is updated by being recorded by the card reader / writer 445, the updated membership card and the accepted cash card are returned, and a receipt on which the David usage details are printed is issued from the receipt outlet 408. The member player can use the returned membership card for the game with the card unit 3 using the new remaining power.

  Further, based on the receipt of the deposit information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) updates the card master table as described above, and adds the received deposit type to the deposit information including the David deposit as the game hall ID of the game hall. Is transmitted (relayed) to the management server 140.

  Based on the receipt of the deposit information including the deposit type of the David deposit to which the game hall ID is added, the management server 140 (CPU 142) determines the game hall ID added to the received deposit information and the received deposit information. The name and e-mail address stored in the member ID table (see FIG. 10 (b)) and the member information table by game hall (see FIG. 10 (a)) are specified in association with the member ID included in The name and e-mail address stored in the member-specific payment history table in association with the specified name and e-mail address are specified, and the specified name and e-mail address and the date of the day are specified. Correspondingly, it is determined whether or not the storage of the cumulative David deposit amount corresponding to the received game hall ID and the member ID exists in the deposit history table for each member. In the case of adding the deposit amount included in the deposit information to the cumulative David deposit amount corresponding to the received game hall ID and member ID, the received game hall ID and member ID are updated if they do not exist. And the deposit amount are newly stored, and the corresponding daily total amount and monthly total amount are updated to update the member-specific deposit history table.

  Then, whether or not the updated daily total amount and monthly total amount exceed the usage limit amount (upper limit amount) set for the first day of use and the most recent month as each target period. If the determination result is exceeded, the name and e-mail address of the member player stored in the member-specific payment history table corresponding to the total daily amount and total monthly amount used for the determination And the member ID stored in the member ID table in association with the specified name and e-mail address and the game hall ID corresponding to the member ID, the member player can All member IDs and game hall IDs of all game halls that are members are specified.

  Then, the debit non-payable information including the denomination of the debit payment information including the member ID in each of the specified game halls and the fact that the debit payment process using the membership card in which the member ID is recorded is disabled. It transmits to the system controller 100 installed in the game hall identified from the game hall ID corresponding to the included member ID. In other words, the information regarding the non-payment of David is transmitted to the system controller 100 installed in all the game halls in which the member player is a member.

  Based on the reception of the non-debitable information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) sets the debitable information (flag) in the card master table corresponding to the member ID included in the received non-debitable information to “1”. By updating and storing, the debit payment to the member card in which the member ID is recorded is disabled.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, game value specifying information recorded on any member card issued at a plurality of game halls owned by a member player using a plurality of cash cards, and Even if the deposit payment that is the value addition processing for the account settlement game to the size of the frequency specified based on the frequency data and the member ID is performed, all the game halls in which the member player is a member The daily total amount and the monthly total amount, which is the total amount of the David deposit amount, which is the magnitude of the added value provided for the David deposit in the above, is stored in advance and stored in the member-specific deposit history table forming the total storage means. When the daily total amount or monthly total amount exceeds the upper limit usage limit amount (upper limit amount), the debit payment impossible information is transmitted to the system controller 100 which is the on-site management device. Since the information (flag) indicating that the deposit is not possible is updated to “1” that can specify the impossibility of the deposit, it becomes impossible to perform the David deposit process for the new deposit amount. Even when using a plurality of cash cards or registering as a member in a plurality of game halls, it is possible to prevent incursion.

  The third embodiment corresponds to claim 5, and the feature of the third embodiment is that, in the first embodiment, the determination of whether or not to accept the David deposit is provided outside the amusement hall when depositing with the depositing device 21. In contrast to the implementation in the management server 140, in this third embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the determination of whether or not to accept the David deposit is made in the in-game management device provided in the game arcade and the remaining game value management. The system controller 100 serving as a device can receive a debit payment that is updated based on the debitable deposit information described later transmitted from the management server 140 instead of the debitable information (flag) as in the second embodiment. The other system configurations are the same as the gaming system of the first embodiment and the second embodiment, and are the same. That portion Description shall be omitted, will be described below, wherein parts of the third embodiment which is a change from the first and second embodiments.

  First, the system controller 100 of the third embodiment stores a card master table shown in FIG. 19 instead of the card master table shown in FIG. 8 in the first embodiment.

  In addition to the configuration of the card master table shown in FIG. 8 of the first embodiment, the card master table of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. In the present invention, the member player can deposit in the David deposit process using a cash card in association with each member ID stored in the member card issued to each member player in the game hall. The David deposit frequency as the usable added value is stored, and the usable added value information storage means in claim 5 of the present invention is formed by the card master table.

  Further, when the CPU 102 of the system controller 100 according to the third embodiment receives the confirmation information transmitted from the depositing device 21, it is stored in the card master table in association with the member ID included in the confirmation information.

If it is less than the predetermined value, a message prompting the designation of the deposit amount is displayed on the display unit 404, and the member player The designation of the deposit amount by operating the key of each amount provided on the amount input key switch 422 is accepted, and the received deposit amount and the member card being accepted are accepted. The member ID and the frequency data and the depositing apparatus 21 which is temporarily stored is read from the de confirmation information including the device ID that is assigned uniquely, as shown in FIG. 20, and transmits to the system controller 100.

  Based on the reception of the confirmation information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) specifies whether or not the member ID included in the received confirmation information exists in the card master table in the card master table. Specifies the size of the remaining frequency stored in the card master table in association with the member ID, and determines the size of the remaining frequency and the frequency specified from the frequency data included in the received confirmation information. And determining whether or not the member card can be used from the stored contents of use or not stored in association with the member ID included in the confirmation information received in the card master table. High possibility of David deposit that is stored in association with the member ID included in the received confirmation information Is to identify, determines whether the magnitude of the power which payment amounts included in the confirmation information received magnitude David deposit possible power that the identified corresponding is exceeded. In addition, when there is no storage (registration) of the degree of the possibility of debit payment in association with the member ID included in the confirmation information received in the card master table, the member ID is recorded as will be described later. The amount that can be credited to the membership card is 10000 yen or more that can be deposited in a single deposit process, so the content of the judgment result is not exceeding (not exceeding) The determination result is “OK” that is to be granted.

  If the result of this determination is that the amount of money included in the confirmation information that has received the specified amount of possible debitable deposits does not exceed the amount of the corresponding frequency, the debit based on not exceeding (not exceeding) The determination result including “OK” determination content that grants the payment and the determination content of whether or not to use the membership card based on the above-mentioned frequency verification and the storage content of the availability is sent to the sender of the received confirmation information If the amount of money corresponding to the amount of money to be received included in the confirmation information that is returned to the depositing device 21 and the confirmation information that has received the magnitude of the frequency of possible depositing David exceeds the excess, the excess The content of the determination of “NG” that does not permit the debit payment based on the debit, the debitable amount corresponding to the specified debitable frequency, and the verification of the frequency The determination result including the determination content usability membership card based on the stored contents of the availability in beauty, reply to the sender of the payment device 21 of the received confirmation information.

  The depositing apparatus 21 (MPU 448) that has received the determination result returns the accepted membership card and interrupts the process if the received determination result includes information indicating that the membership card cannot be used. When the received judgment result includes information on whether or not the member card can be used and the judgment result of “NG” that does not permit the debit payment based on the fact that the debitable degree of debit payment is exceeded is included. Displays the debitable deposit amount included in the received determination result on the display unit 404 (see FIG. 3), and returns to accepting the deposit amount again to re-accept the deposit amount.

  On the other hand, the contents of the received determination result include the information that the membership card can be used, and the content of the determination of “OK” that permits the debit payment based on the fact that the amount of the debit possibility is not exceeded (not exceeded) Is displayed on the display unit 404, a cash card is received from a member player, and is recorded on the received cash card. Account information that is recorded information is read by the cash card reader 413, the read account information is temporarily stored, and a settlement request including the account information and the received deposit amount is debited. To 160.

  Based on the reception of the payment request, the debit payment terminal 160 relays the received payment request to the debit payment management server 180, and the contents of the information on whether or not payment is returned from the debit payment management server 180 according to the relay If it is possible, a password transmission request is returned to the depositing device 21.

  Based on the reception of the password transmission request, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) displays a message prompting the input of the password for using the cash card on the display unit 404, and receives the password from the member player. The accepted password is transmitted to the debit payment terminal 160.

  Based on the reception of the password, the debit payment terminal 160 relays it to the debit payment management server 180 together with the received password number and the account information relayed above, and from the debit payment management server 180 based on the relayed password. The verification result is obtained, and the verification result is transmitted to the depositing apparatus 21.

  Based on the reception of the verification result, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) interrupts the process and returns all the membership card and cash card when the verification result is “NG” indicating the mismatch of the passwords. When the processing is stopped and the collation result is “OK” indicating that the passwords match, the deposit information including the deposit amount received from the member player, the deposit type (debit deposit), and the member ID is provided in the system. It transmits to the controller 100.

  Based on the receipt of this deposit information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102), in the card master table, stores the magnitude of the remaining frequency stored in association with the member ID included in the received deposit information and the magnitude of the remaining David deposit frequency. At the same time, the frequency corresponding to the deposit amount included in the received deposit information is added and updated, and the item of the latest deposit type corresponds to David deposit, which is the deposit type included in the received deposit information. After storing “David” and updating the card master table, an update completion notification is returned to the depositing apparatus 21 that is the transmission source of the received deposit information. In this embodiment, at this point, the frequency corresponding to the deposit amount included in the deposit information is not updated by subtracting from the debitable deposit frequency, and the debit non-payment information transmitted from the management server 140 described later is transmitted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at this time, the magnitude of the frequency corresponding to the deposit amount may be subtracted and updated from the possible frequency of debit payment.

  Based on the reception of the update completion notification, the depositing device 21 (MPU 448) reads the magnitude of the frequency corresponding to the deposit amount received from the member player from the frequency data stored temporarily after being read from the receiving membership card. A new residual frequency is calculated by adding to the specified frequency (remaining frequency), and the frequency data that can specify the new residual frequency is stored in the member card that is being received. The frequency data is updated by being recorded by the card reader / writer 445, the updated membership card and the accepted cash card are returned, and a receipt on which the David usage details are printed is issued from the receipt outlet 408. The member player can use the returned membership card for the game with the card unit 3 using the new remaining power.

  Further, based on the receipt of the deposit information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) updates the card master table as described above, and adds the received deposit type to the deposit information including the David deposit as the game hall ID of the game hall. Is transmitted (relayed) to the management server 140.

  Based on the receipt of the deposit information including the deposit type of the David deposit to which the game hall ID is added, the management server 140 (CPU 142) determines the game hall ID added to the received deposit information and the received deposit information.

The name and e-mail address stored in the member-specific payment history table are specified, and the received name and e-mail address and the date of the day are associated with the received game hall ID and member ID. It is determined whether or not the storage of the cumulative David deposit amount to be present exists in the deposit history table by member, and if it exists, it corresponds to the received game hall ID and member ID In the case where the deposit amount included in the deposit information is added to the accumulated David deposit amount and updated, the received game hall ID, member ID, and deposit amount are newly stored, and the corresponding daily total amount is also updated. The monthly payment amount table is updated by updating the monthly total amount.

  Then, the difference between the updated daily total amount and monthly total amount and the usage limit amount (upper limit amount) set for the one day of use and the most recent month as each target period is calculated, Among the calculated differences, the lesser difference is specified as the possible deposit amount, and the identified debitable amount is the upper limit amount of deposit amount that can be deposited in a single deposit process. It is determined whether or not it is less than yen, and if the determination result is less than 10,000 yen, it is stored in the member-specific payment history table corresponding to the total amount for the day or the total amount used for the determination. The name and e-mail address of the member player are identified, and the member ID and the member ID stored in the member ID table are associated with the identified name and e-mail address. By identifying all the game arcade ID to respond, the member player to identify all the member ID and the game arcade ID of all of the game field which is a member.

  Then, the debitable information including the member ID at each identified amusement hall and the debitable amount identified above is identified from the amusement hall ID corresponding to the member ID included in the debitable information. This is transmitted to the system controller 100 installed in the game hall. In other words, the David depositable information is transmitted to the system controller 100 installed in all the game halls in which the member player is a member.

  In addition, if the amount of possible deposits of David specified above is 10,000 yen or more, which is the upper limit amount that can be deposited in a single deposit process, all deposit amounts will be less than or equal to the maximum deposit amount, In the present embodiment, it is preferable not to transmit the David depositable information, and this is preferable because the communication load with the system controller 100 can be reduced by reducing transmission of unnecessary David depositable information. The invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to transmit the debitable deposit information regardless of the size of the debitable deposit amount and the upper limit amount that can be deposited in one debit deposit process. .

  The system controller 100 (CPU 102) receives the debitable deposit amount of the card master table corresponding to the member ID included in the received debitable deposit information based on the received debitable deposit information. The system controller 100 determines whether or not the debit can be made based on the updated devidable frequency by updating to a frequency corresponding to the debitable amount included in the debitable deposit information. .

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, game value specifying information recorded on any member card issued at a plurality of game halls owned by a member player using a plurality of cash cards, and Even if the debit payment is added to the account settlement game value addition processing to the frequency specified based on the frequency data and the member ID, all the game halls in which the member player is a member The daily total amount and the monthly total amount, which is the total amount of the David deposit amount, which is the magnitude of the added value provided for the David deposit in the above, are stored in advance in the member-specific deposit history table constituting the total storage means and stored. The system controller 100, which is a debitable deposit information including a debitable deposit amount that is the difference between the daily total amount or monthly total amount and the upper limit usage limit amount (upper limit amount) The received deposit amount is updated to the amount corresponding to the debitable amount included in the debitable deposit information, so that the new deposit amount is added to the debited deposit amount. When the amount exceeds the limit, David deposit processing will be disabled, so even if a member player uses multiple cash cards or is registered as a member at multiple amusement halls, The sinking can be prevented.

  Further, according to the third embodiment, when the deposit amount exceeds the size of the possible deposit amount stored in the card master table, the possible deposit amount of David corresponding to the magnitude of the possible deposit amount. Is displayed on the display unit 404 of the depositing device 21, so that the member player can grasp the amount that can be deposited by David using a cash card for his / her member card. In this embodiment, these debitable deposit amounts are displayed on the display unit 404 and notified when the deposit amount received by the depositing device 21 exceeds the debitable deposit amount. The invention is not limited to this, and these debitable amounts may be obtained from the system controller 100 at the time of accepting the membership card and displayed before accepting the deposit amount.

  In addition, according to the third embodiment, since the debitable deposit amount information is transmitted when the debitable deposit amount is less than 10,000 yen which is the upper limit amount that can be deposited in one debit deposit process, unnecessary debit Transmission of depositable information can be avoided, and useless communication load between the management server 140 and the system controller 100 can be reduced.

  Further, based on the receipt of the deposit information, the system controller 100 (CPU 102) updates the card master table as described above, and adds the received deposit type to the deposit information including the David deposit as the game hall ID of the game hall. Is transmitted (relayed) to the management server 140.

  Based on the receipt of the deposit information including the deposit type of the David deposit to which the game hall ID is added, the management server 140 (CPU 142) determines the game hall ID added to the received deposit information and the received deposit information. The e-mail address stored in the member ID table (see FIG. 22 (a)) in association with the member ID included in the ID is specified, and the date of the day of David payment, the specified e-mail address, Then, the new David deposit history including the deposit amount which is the deposit amount included in the received deposit information is stored, and the deposit history table (see FIG. 22B) is updated.

  Then, the member player in the day of use, which is a predetermined period set in the use limit setting process of the member player corresponding to the newly stored David deposit history, and the member in the last one month become a member. The total daily amount and the total monthly amount, which are the total amount of the deposit amount used by the member player for the debit deposit at all the game halls, are totaled.

  As a specific calculation status of the daily total amount and the monthly total amount, if the predetermined period (target period) is, for example, one day on the use day, the same e-mail address as the e-mail address included in the new David deposit history It is calculated by extracting and summing all the David deposit amounts associated with the date of the day from among the David deposit amounts stored in the deposit history table in association with the address. If it is a month, it is calculated by extracting and summing all the David deposit amounts associated with each date from that date to one month ago.

  Then, the difference between the aggregated daily total amount or monthly total amount and the usage limit amount (upper limit amount) set for each target period is calculated, and one of the calculated difference amounts, whichever is smaller The difference is specified as an amount that can be deposited with David, and the determined amount that can be deposited with David is determined whether it is less than 10000 yen, which is the upper limit of the amount of deposit that can be deposited in a single deposit process. If the determination result is less than 10,000 yen, the e-mail address of the member player stored in the deposit history table corresponding to the David deposit history used to calculate the total amount used for the determination is displayed. By identifying and identifying all the member IDs stored in the member ID table in association with the identified e-mail address and the game hall ID corresponding to the member ID The member player to identify all the member ID and a game arcade ID of all of the game field has become a member.

  Then, the debitable information including the member ID at each identified amusement hall and the debitable amount identified above is identified from the amusement hall ID corresponding to the member ID included in the debitable information. This is transmitted to the system controller 100 installed in the game hall. In other words, the David depositable information is transmitted to the system controller 100 installed in all the game halls in which the member player is a member.

  In addition, if the amount of possible deposits of David specified above is 10,000 yen or more, which is the upper limit amount that can be deposited in a single deposit process, all deposit amounts will be less than or equal to the maximum deposit amount, In the present embodiment, it is preferable not to transmit the David depositable information, and this is preferable because the communication load with the system controller 100 can be reduced by reducing transmission of unnecessary David depositable information. The invention is not limited to this, and it may be possible to transmit the debitable deposit information regardless of the size of the debitable deposit amount and the upper limit amount that can be deposited in one debit deposit process. .

  The system controller 100 (CPU 102) receives the debitable deposit amount of the card master table corresponding to the member ID included in the received debitable deposit information based on the received debitable deposit information. The system controller 100 determines whether or not the debit can be made based on the updated devidable frequency by updating to a frequency corresponding to the debitable amount included in the debitable deposit information. .

  As described above, according to the sixth embodiment, game value specifying information recorded on any member card issued at a plurality of game halls owned by a member player using a plurality of cash cards, and Even if the debit payment is added to the account settlement game value addition processing to the frequency specified based on the frequency data and the member ID, all the game halls in which the member player is a member The daily total amount and monthly total amount, which are the sum of the amount of David deposit that is the amount of added value provided for the above-mentioned David deposit, are aggregated by the aggregation process, and the aggregated daily total amount, monthly total amount and upper limit value The information on the possibility of debit payment including the debitable debit amount that is the difference from the use limit amount (upper limit amount) is transmitted to the system controller 100 which is the on-site management device, and the debit possibility When the size is updated to a frequency equivalent to the amount that can be deposited in David, which is included in the information that can be deposited in David, and the amount of money to be newly deposited exceeds the amount that can be deposited Since the David deposit process is disabled, the enrollment can be prevented even when the member player uses a plurality of cash cards or is registered as a member in a plurality of game halls.

  Further, according to each of the above embodiments, when a new member player is newly registered, new member registration information is transmitted from the member management computer 120 to the management server 140 via the system controller 100, and the member ID table. If the same name and e-mail address as the name and e-mail address, which are the attribute information included in the new member registration information, are registered, the new name corresponding to the registered name and e-mail address is registered. Since the member ID included in the received new member registration information is stored in the item of the game hall ID of the game hall where the member management computer 120 that has transmitted the member registration information is installed, the member ID table is updated. Identifies the presence or absence of registration of the same name and email address as the name and email address of these new member players This eliminates the trouble of updating and storing the member ID of the new member player in association with the name and e-mail address, as well as the presence of a plurality of these same names and e-mail addresses in the member ID table. Inconvenience can also be avoided.

  In addition, according to each of the above embodiments, the total usage frequency that is the size of the most recently used value that is the size of the game value that has been used in the game from the time when the most recent David deposit was carried out is If it is not 20 degrees or more corresponding to the set predetermined size of 2000 yen, the settlement process in the settlement apparatus 22 is disabled. For example, the frequency based on the deposit amount deposited from the account is not yet large. Avoid the inconvenience that the game venue side cannot obtain profits commensurate with various expenses such as fees that must be borne by the payment using the cash card, which is the account identification recording medium, by being settled by use can do.

  In addition, according to each of the above embodiments, the game time that is the game history related information regarding the game history from the time when the most recent David deposit was performed does not satisfy the preset game time condition of 10 minutes or more. In some cases, since the settlement process is not possible, for example, the amount of power based on the deposit amount deposited from the account is settled unused without playing the game, so the amusement park side can use the account specifying recording medium. For example, it is possible to avoid an inconvenience that a profit corresponding to various expenses such as a fee that must be borne by a settlement using a cash card cannot be obtained.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above embodiment, when the remaining frequency remaining in the membership card becomes 10 degrees or less corresponding to a predetermined frequency of 1000 yen, cash deposit and David deposit can be made. The predetermined frequency is not limited to 10 degrees corresponding to 1000 yen, but may be 5 degrees or 0 degrees, for example.

  In the above embodiment, the game time is used as the game related information related to the game history, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game related information related to the game history includes the number of loans and the number of start-ups. It may be used.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the cash payment using the cash is also possible in the money_receiving | payment apparatus 21, this invention is not limited to this, These money_receiving | payment apparatuses 21 are connected to David using a cash card. It is good also as what implements only a payment process.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the depositing apparatus 21 was provided separately from the card unit 3, this invention is not limited to this, The function of these depositing apparatuses 21 was added to the card unit 3. It is good also as a structure.

  In the embodiment, the in-field management device and the remaining game value management device are formed by the system controller 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the in-field management device and the remaining game value management device are used. The value management device may be constituted by an individual management computer or the like.

  Further, in the embodiment, two pieces of information of the member ID and the frequency data are stored as the game value specifying information in the member card for checking the remaining frequency, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, only the member ID may be stored in the member card, and the depositing device 21 and the settlement device 22 may obtain the remaining frequency corresponding to the member ID from the system controller 100.

  In the above embodiment, the member ID is used as the member identification information, and each member card can be individually specified by the member ID. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In addition, a member card ID that enables individual identification of the member card may be recorded on the member card, or only the member card ID may be recorded and the member card ID may be used as member identification information.

  In the above embodiment, a contactless IC card is used as a member card. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a member ID recording medium that is a member recording medium may be a member ID. Any recording medium can be used as long as it can read at least various kinds of information (data) such as frequency data and can be held by the member player who has issued it.

  Further, in the embodiment, the setting of the usage limit and the setting of the accountable condition are performed on the management server 140 side, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these settings are performed. May be implemented by the system controller 100, for example.

  In the first to third embodiments, as the setting contents of the usage limit amount, it is possible to calculate the total amount in various target periods such as the above-mentioned target period of the last month, the latest one week, and the latest ten days. Therefore, as described above, the management server 140 associates each member player's name and e-mail address with each member player's daily daily deposit history, and stores the member's daily deposit history. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the target period is only one day or only one month, these payment histories are stored and managed. Instead, as shown in the member-specific David total deposit amount table shown in FIG. 21, the David deposit amount of each member player may be accumulated and added for one day or one month to be tabulated and managed.

  Further, in the embodiment, based on the reception of the settlement permission request transmitted from the settlement apparatus 22, the system controller 100 stores it in the card master table in association with the member ID included in the received settlement permission request. If the total number of games used and the total game time do not meet the frequency or minimum game time corresponding to the minimum usage amount based on the setting information, it is not possible to settle all the times remaining on the membership card. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, among the remaining frequencies remaining in the membership card, there is a remaining cash deposit frequency based on cash deposit in addition to the remaining David deposit frequency. In such a case, the amount corresponding to the magnitude of the remaining amount of cash receipt is notified to the settlement apparatus 22 as the amount that can be settled, and the amount of the remaining degree of cash receipt is increased. Only settlement possible amount corresponding to may be to be able to checkout even if you do not meet the frequency and minimum playing time, which corresponds to the minimum available amount of money.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the part which performs the money_receiving | payment process to a membership card in the money_receiving | payment apparatus 21, and the part which receives a cash card and performs the process regarding a David payment regarding this cash card, this invention is integrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each of these parts may be configured as an individual device.

  In the third embodiment, when the system controller 100 receives the deposit information, it updates the David deposit possibility frequency of the card master table stored in the system controller 100 and then adds the received deposit information to the received deposit information. The deposit information with the ID added is transmitted to the management server 140, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the system controller 100 can play the game without updating the David deposit possibility frequency of the card master table. The deposit information to which the field ID is added may be transmitted to the management server 140, and the David deposit possibility frequency of the card master table may be updated based on the David deposit possible information transmitted from the management server.

  Moreover, in the said Example 3 and the said Example 6, although it is made to transmit David deposit | payable information also with respect to the system controller 100 of the game hall which transmitted the deposit information, this invention is limited to this. Instead of this, the depositable information may be transmitted only to the game system controller 100 registered by the member other than the game system controller 100 that has transmitted the deposit information. .

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in order to individually accept the personal identification number, the settlement request in the present invention is made up of two: the settlement request including the account information and the deposit amount, and the personal identification number for performing the identity verification of the user. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after accepting a personal identification number, the depositing apparatus 21 sends a settlement request including the personal identification number together with the account information and the deposit amount through the David terminal 160. The debit payment management server 180 transmits to the debit payment management server 180, and the debit payment management server 180 determines whether the account specified from the account information included in the received payment request has a balance greater than the deposit amount, It is determined whether or not the collation with the personal identification number included in the received payment request is coincident, and based on the determination result, whether or not payment is possible is determined through the David terminal 160 through the depositing device 21. By sending, interactions with debit management server 180 and David terminal 160 may be only once.

  In the above embodiment, the cash card is received after the deposit amount is received, and then the password is received. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the order of receiving these numbers. May be selected as appropriate. For example, it may be determined that the deposit is automatically received by first receiving a cash card, and after receiving the personal identification number, the deposit amount may be received.

  In the first to third embodiments corresponding to the first, third, and fifth aspects of the present invention, the total storage means is composed of two tables, a member ID table and a member-specific payment history table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the total storage means may be formed by a table in which both these tables are combined.
