And the above-mentioned usage history data stored in the memory 104 of the non-contact IC chip 100 is accessed while accessing the balance data of the identified electronic money service provider to acquire and identify the balance of electronic money. Then, by acquiring today's usage amount and this month's usage amount stored in the usage history data (see Fig. 3), specify the upper limit amount data. The current usage upper limit and the current month usage upper limit are identified, and the difference between the identified today's upper usage limit and today's usage amount, and the difference between the current month's usage upper limit and this month's usage amount are calculated. The smaller of the differences is specified as the available amount at that time.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sn7, the setting data stored in the memory 104 of the non-contact IC chip 100 is accessed, and the menu amount, which is the amount type of the issuance request amount received from the player (user), specifically, As shown in FIG. 12 (c), the type of 1000 yen, 3000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10000 yen is specified, and among the specified menu amounts, the remaining electronic money specified (acquired) by Sn6 and its An available upper limit that is the lesser of the available amounts at the time is specified, and a menu amount within the range of the available upper limit, for example, electronic money as shown in FIG. If the remaining amount is XX000 yen and the available amount at that time is 7000 yen, the upper limit of usable amount is specified as 7000 yen and within the range of 7000 yen The available transaction amount specifying process for specifying the menu amount of 1000 yen, 3000 yen, and 5000 yen as the available transaction amount is performed, and the specified available transaction amount is 1000 yen, 3000 yen, 5000 yen. Transaction amount is displayed on the display unit 56. The transaction amount designation screen shown in FIG. 12 (c) is displayed in which the selection menu of “10000 yen” exceeding 7000 yen cannot be selected (non-active). Perform specified screen display processing. That is, among the plural types of transaction amounts (1000 yen, 3000 yen, 5000 yen, 10000 yen) that can be specified by the user in the available transaction amount specifying process in the Sn7, it is stored in the mobile phone 5. An available transaction amount that is a transaction amount within the range of the electronic money amount is specified, and an available transaction amount specifying step in the present invention is formed by the available transaction amount specifying process, and the transaction amount designation In the screen display process, a transaction amount designation screen for accepting designation of an issuance request amount used for issuance to be a specific transaction, wherein only the available transaction amount identified in the available transaction amount identification process can be selected and designated. The transaction amount designation screen display step in the present invention is formed by the transaction amount designation screen display processing.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sn7 + and accepts from the player (user) designation of an issuance request amount to be issued from among the menu amounts that can be selected on the transaction amount designation screen displayed on the display unit 56. Implement transaction amount acceptance processing. That is, in the transaction amount acceptance process, designation of an issuance request amount as a transaction amount is accepted from a player (user) on the transaction amount designation screen displayed in S7 which is the transaction amount designation screen display process, The transaction amount acceptance step in the present invention is formed by the transaction amount acceptance processing.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the predetermined period specified from the issuance request amount (transaction amount) received in the Sn7 + transaction amount acceptance process as the transaction amount acceptance step and the usage history as the transaction amount information for the predetermined period. The total amount of the transaction amount for today's usage and this month's usage does not exceed the today's usage upper limit or current month's upper limit specified from the upper limit data included in the setting data stored in the mobile phone 5 Thus, by calculating the available amount that is the difference between the today's usage upper limit or the current month's usage upper limit and the current day's usage amount and the current month's usage amount, it is within the range of the electronic money amount and within the range of the usable amount By specifying the available transaction amount that will be the amount of money in Sn7 as described above and accepting the specified available transaction amount as the issuance request amount (transaction amount), these today's maximum usage amount and current monthly interest It is determined that the upper limit has not been exceeded, and the available transaction amount is accepted as an issuance request amount (transaction amount), that is, on the condition that the current usage upper limit or the current month's upper limit is not exceeded. The specific transaction request transmission process which is the specific transaction request transmission step of Sn8 is performed, and the available transaction amount specifying process in the above-mentioned Sn7 has the functions of the upper limit excess determination process and the upper limit excess determination step in the present invention. Although it is preferable to do so, it is possible to save the trouble of the user who performs re-designation of the issuance request amount (transaction amount) due to exceeding the upper limit amount, but the present invention is For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the “Money transfer” menu is advanced to Sn6 + by a selection operation, and electronic money set for normal use is displayed. After acquiring and specifying the electronic money balance by accessing the balance data of the service provider, proceed to Sn77 to identify the menu amount within the range of the electronic money balance as the available transaction amount and specify the specified use Only the transaction amount is displayed as selectable, and an issuance request amount (or a deposit request amount, which will be described later) may be accepted from the available transaction amount (Sn78), and the accepted issuance (payment) request amount and today's usage amount In addition, it is determined whether the total amount with the current month's usage amount exceeds the today's usage upper limit amount or the current month's usage upper limit amount (Sn79). The specific transaction request including the accepted issue (payment) request amount may be transmitted. That is, in Sn79, the transaction amount accepted in Sn78 which is the transaction amount acceptance process and the today's usage amount specified from the usage history as transaction amount information for a predetermined period stored in the memory 104 which is the transaction amount storage unit, and It is determined whether or not the total amount with the current month's usage amount exceeds the today's usage upper limit amount or the current month's upper usage amount stored in the memory 104 which is the upper limit amount storage unit. An excess determination process is formed, and the process proceeds to Sn8 on the condition that the determination result in Sn79 is a determination result that does not exceed the current usage upper limit or current month upper limit, and includes the received issuance (payment) request amount A specific transaction request transmission process for transmitting a transaction request is performed.

  After the player (user) has designated the issuance request amount on the transaction amount designation screen in this way, the card issuance is made with cash or electronic money together with a message for prompting card insertion as shown in FIG. The mobile phone 5 is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 41 of the issuing and depositing machine 4 in a state where the guidance message for displaying is displayed on the display panel 38 without inserting a card.

  The control unit 55 of the mobile phone 5 accepts on the transaction amount designation screen in the above-described Sn7 + based on the fact that near field data communication with the issuing / paying machine 4 (external card reader / writer 46) becomes possible due to the proximity. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), when the designation of 3000 yen is accepted, the issuance request amount is 3000 yen, and the available upper limit amount specified in Sn7 as described above, that is, Is the lesser of the remaining amount of electronic money and the available amount at that time (7000 yen in the above-mentioned specific example), the terminal ID of the mobile phone 5, and the normal use Specific transaction request including a company ID uniquely assigned to the electronic money service provider A that is being sent to the issuing and depositing machine 4 through the non-contact IC chip 100 Carrying out signal processing (Sn 8). That is, in the specific transaction request transmission process of Sn8, a specific transaction of the issue request amount (transaction amount) including the issue request amount (transaction amount) accepted in the transaction amount acceptance process as the transaction amount acceptance step is requested. The specific transaction request is transmitted to the issuing deposit machine 4 that issues the visitor card that is the specific transaction, and the specific transaction request transmission step in the present invention is formed by the specific transaction request transmission process.

  When this specific transaction request is received, the MPU 48 of the issuance depositing machine 4 reads out the card ID from the visitor card used for issuance by the IC card reader / writer 26, stores the card ID temporarily, and the visitor card. After storing the terminal ID included in the received specific transaction request and the remaining amount of the issuance request amount (3,000 yen) included in the received specific transaction request in the visitor card used for issuance, the visitor card is stored in the IC. The card is ejected from the card insertion slot 30 and issued, and a transaction completion notice is sent (replyed) to the mobile phone 5, while the issuance request amount (3,000 yen) is used for the issuance that is primarily stored in the above. The electronic money service of the electronic money used for the issuance included in the received specific transaction request The transaction completion information including the company ID of company A is transmitted to the system controller 110, and as shown in FIG. 10 (d), the fact that the issuance is completed, the issuance amount (3,000 yen), Message "and the maximum available amount included in the specific transaction request received from the mobile phone 5, that is, the lesser of the remaining amount of electronic money and the available amount at that time (in the above example) An issue completion screen including a new available amount (4000 yen) obtained by subtracting the issue amount (3000 yen) from 7000 yen if present is displayed on the display panel 38.

  Based on the transmission of the transaction completion notification from the issuing and depositing machine 4, the control unit 55 of the mobile phone 5 performs a transaction completion notification reception process for receiving the transmitted transaction completion notification through the non-contact IC chip 100. At the same time, a settlement request output process for outputting the settlement request for the issued request amount accepted in the Sn7 + to the electronic money application of the electronic money company set for normal use is performed (Sn9). That is, in the transaction completion notification receiving process of Sn9, the transaction completion notification transmitted from the issuing deposit machine 4 as the specific transaction apparatus is received in response to the specific transaction request transmitted in the transaction completion notification receiving process of Sn8. The transaction completion notification reception step in the present invention is formed by the transaction completion notification reception processing.

  In response to the output of the settlement request in Sn9, the control unit 55 temporarily suspends processing by the JG application, and reads the electronic money application of the electronic money company set for normal use specified above from the memory unit 60. Based on the electronic money application, the issue request amount included in the payment request is subtracted from the remaining amount of the electronic money service provider, and then a completion notification is output to the JG application. That is, in the settlement request output process of Sn9, the issuance request amount (transaction amount) received in the transaction amount acceptance process of S7 +, which is a transaction amount acceptance step, based on the reception of the transaction completion notification is sent to the mobile phone 5. A settlement request for subtraction from the stored electronic money amount is output, and the settlement step in the present invention is formed by the settlement request output process.

  Based on the output of the completion notification, the control unit 55 resumes the processing by the temporarily suspended JG application and updates the usage history data stored in the storage area 104c of the card management company in the memory 104 (Sn10). ). Specifically, the date of today output from the RTC 61, the type of electronic money service company, and the issuance request amount (3,000 yen) are stored as the use amount, and the issuance request amount (3000 yen) is used today and the current month. Perform usage history update processing to update the usage amount. In other words, in the usage history update process of Sn10, the usage history becomes information that can identify the transaction amount (use amount) used for issuing the visitor card that becomes the specific transaction for the predetermined period of the day or one month of the month. The transaction amount update process and the transaction amount update step in the present invention are formed by the use history update process.

  In this way, in this embodiment, since the JG application is not given the access right to update the balance data that is the amount of electronic money of company A, an issuance request amount or a payment request for a payment request amount described later is sent to the electronic money. Although it is outputted to the application and the electronic money application issues and issues the payment (payment) request amount, the electronic money amount is subtracted and updated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the JG application JG application itself subtracts the issuance (payment) request amount directly from the remaining amount of A company's electronic money amount when the right to update the balance data that is the amount of A company's electronic money is granted You may make it update.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sn11, and the issuance request amount (3000) is determined from the upper limit of the usable amount specified in the above-mentioned Sn7, that is, 7000 yen, which is the smaller of the remaining electronic money amount and the available amount specified in Sn6. Yen) is subtracted to identify a new available amount (4000 yen) that can be used in the next issue or additional deposit, and includes the specified new available amount (4000 yen) and a message that the remittance has been completed. After the remittance completion screen is displayed for a predetermined period on the display unit 56, the process returns to Sn1.

  Further, the issuing / paying machine 4 of this embodiment also has a visitor card issuing function using cash, and briefly explaining the visitor card issuing function, the screen of FIG. In the state displayed on the panel 38, the player inserts coins and / or bills in amounts greater than the amount desired to be issued without inserting a visitor card or membership card from the IC card insertion slot 30. 24 and the bill insertion slot 25.

  The inserted money is identified by the coin identifying unit 42 and / or the bill identifying unit 43, and based on the identification information output from each of these identifying units, the MPU 48 determines various issued amounts within the total amount. The amount selection screen that can be selected is displayed on the display panel 38 as shown in FIG. 10B, and the designation of the issue request amount is accepted from the player.

  The MPU 48 specifies the issuance amount of the visitor card by specifying the issuance request amount, sets the issued visitor card (IC card) at a predetermined position of the IC card reader / writer 26, and sets the visitor card ( IC card) is read out from the IC card and temporarily stored, and the issued amount is written and stored in the set visitor card as the remaining amount, and then the visitor card storing the remaining amount is discharged from the IC card insertion slot 30. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), an issuance completion screen including a message indicating that the issuance is completed, an issuance amount (for example, 10000 yen), and a “take out card” message is displayed on the display panel 38. At the same time, the card ID and the issue amount are stored in the primary storage. That. In addition, when the money of the money amount exceeding an issue amount is thrown in, the coin or banknote of the excess money amount is paid out from the said coin return port 31 or the banknote discharge port 32. FIG.

  Next, the flow of performing additional payment to the membership card or visitor card with these issuing and depositing machines 4 will be described below. First, in the case where additional payment is made to a membership card or a visitor card using electronic money, the player (user) performs a predetermined JG application activation operation on the mobile phone 5, thereby Similar to the case of visitor card issuance, the main menu screen shown in FIG. 12A is displayed on the display unit 56 based on the JG application (Sn1).

  Then, in the case where it is desired to make an additional payment using electronic money to the visitor card or the membership card, the player (user) makes a “money transfer” on the displayed main menu screen as in the case of the visitor card issue described above. The menu may be selected. When the player (user) selects and operates the “money transfer” menu, the selection is detected by Sn2 and proceeds to Sn6 and stored in the memory 104 of the non-contact IC chip 100. The above-mentioned setting data is accessed, the electronic money service providing company set for normal use is identified, and the balance data of the identified electronic money service providing company is accessed to obtain the electronic money balance The access history data stored in the memory 104 of the non-contact IC chip 100 is accessed and recorded in the use history data. The current usage amount and the current month usage amount are acquired (see Fig. 3), and the upper limit amount data is accessed to specify the today usage upper limit amount and the current month usage upper limit amount. The difference between the upper limit amount and the today's usage amount and the difference between the current month's upper limit amount and the current month's usage amount are calculated, and the smaller amount of the calculated difference amounts is specified as the available amount at that time.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sn7, the setting data stored in the memory 104 of the non-contact IC chip 100 is accessed, and the menu amount, which is the amount type of the requested deposit amount received from the player (user), specifically, As shown in FIG. 12 (c), the type of 1000 yen, 3000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10000 yen is specified, and among the specified menu amounts, the remaining electronic money specified (acquired) by Sn6 and its An available upper limit that is the lesser of the available amounts at the time is specified, and a menu amount within the available upper limit, for example, the electronic money balance shown in FIG. 12B is XX000. The amount of electronic money remaining from the time when the available amount at the time is 7,000 yen to the use of 3000 yen for the visitor card issuance Is YZ000 Yen and the available amount at that time is 4000 Yen, the upper limit of available amount is specified to be 4000 Yen, and the menu amounts within the range of 4000 Yen are “1000 Yen”, “ The available transaction amount specifying process for specifying the amount of “3,000 yen” as the available transaction amount is performed, and only the specified amounts of “1000 yen” and “3000 yen” that are the specified available transaction amounts can be selected and operated. A transaction amount designation screen similar to the transaction amount designation screen described above (see FIG. 12C) in which the selection menu of “5000 yen” and “10000 yen” exceeding 4000 yen cannot be selected (non-active) is displayed. The transaction amount designation screen display process to be displayed in 56 is performed.

While notifying the engineer (user), the deposit request amount (3,000 yen), the card ID of the visitor card or member card that has made the additional deposit, and the additional deposit included in the received specific transaction request are used. The transaction completion information including the company ID of the electronic money service provider A of the received electronic money is transmitted to the system controller 110 and received from the mobile phone 5 that the additional payment has been completed as shown in FIG. The maximum available amount included in the specified transaction request, that is, the additional amount of money (from the remaining amount of electronic money and the available amount at that time, which is the smaller one (4000 yen in the above example)) A payment completion screen including a new available amount (1000 yen) obtained by subtracting 3000 yen and a “confirm” selection operation unit is displayed on the display unit 312.

  Then, the control unit 328 adds the 30000 yen stored in the receiving visitor card or membership card to a new one by selecting either the confirmation selection input section provided on the payment completion screen or establishment of a predetermined time. A ball lending selection operation unit that is included in the remaining amount, and that is selected when the ball lending is executed, a card return selection operation unit that is selected when the inserted visitor card or membership card is returned, and a visitor By displaying on the display unit 312 the normal screen shown in FIG. 15 (c) having a remaining amount refund selection operation unit that is selected when returning the remaining amount remaining on the card or the membership card to the mobile phone 5, The player (user) can use the remaining amount after the additional payment for the game by operating the ball lending selection operation section.

  On the other hand, based on the transmission of the transaction completion notification from the card unit 3, the control unit 55 of the mobile phone 5 performs a transaction completion notification reception process for receiving the transmitted transaction completion notification through the non-contact IC chip 100. At the same time, a payment request output process is executed to output the payment request for the deposit request received in Sn7 + to the electronic money application of the electronic money company set for normal use (Sn9).

  In response to the output of the settlement request in Sn9, the control unit 55 temporarily suspends the processing by the JG application, and stores the electronic money application of the electronic money service providing company A set for normal use specified above in the memory unit. 60, read out and execute, and based on the electronic money application, after subtracting and updating the deposit request amount included in the settlement request from the balance of the electronic money service provider A, a completion notification is output to the JG application. .

  Based on the output of the completion notification, the control unit 55 resumes the processing by the temporarily suspended JG application and updates the usage history data stored in the storage area 104c of the card management company in the memory 104 (Sn10). ). Specifically, the current date output from the RTC 61, the type of electronic money service company, and the requested deposit amount (3,000 yen) are stored as the usage amount, and the requested deposit amount (3,000 yen) is used as well as the current usage amount and the current month. Update the usage amount.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sn11, and the requested amount of payment (3000) is determined from the upper limit of the usable amount specified in the aforementioned Sn7, that is, the amount of 4000 yen which is the smaller one of the remaining amount of electronic money and the available amount specified in the above Sn6. Yen) is subtracted to specify a new available amount (1000 yen) that can be used in the next issue or additional deposit, and the specified new available amount (1000 yen) and the message that the remittance has been completed are included. After the remittance completion screen is displayed for a predetermined period on the display unit 56, the process returns to Sn1.

  In this embodiment, every time a visitor card is issued or additional payment is made to a visitor card or a membership card, the requested amount of payment is designated on the transaction amount designation screen. It is not limited, and whether or not to use the specified amount (transaction amount) once specified in the next remittance or issuance is accepted on the remittance completion screen, etc., and the setting is made. In some cases, the designated amount (transaction amount) selected in advance can be obtained by simply bringing the mobile phone 5 close to the electronic money communication units 41 and 332 without designating these payment request amounts. A specific transaction request including the specified amount (transaction amount) may be transmitted to the card unit 3 or the issuing / paying machine 4 on condition that the upper limit of the available amount is not exceeded.

  When the game ends when the remaining amount is present in the visitor card or membership card being accepted by the card unit 3 by these players (users), the normal screen card return shown in FIG. By operating the selection operation unit, it is possible to return the visitor card or the membership card in which these remaining amounts are stored, and by operating these remaining amounts, the remaining amount refund selection operation unit on the normal screen, The electronic money amount of the mobile phone 5 can be returned (refunded), and a refund process performed by the control unit 55 of the mobile phone 5 in order to perform these refunds will be described below with reference to FIG. explain.

  First, when a player (user) operates the remaining amount refund selection operation unit on the normal screen, the control unit 328 that detects the operation is provided on the display unit 312 at a lower position toward the display unit 312. A message requesting that the mobile phone 5 be brought close to the existing electronic money communication unit 332 is displayed.

  In this display state, when the player (user) brings the mobile phone 5 close to the electronic money communication unit 332 in accordance with the displayed message, the above-mentioned proximity between the external card reader / writer 330 and the non-contact IC chip 100 is obtained. When the distance non-contact communication is performed and mutual authentication is performed, and when authentication is obtained in the mutual authentication, the control unit 328 passes the external card reader / writer 330 through the application ID of the JG application and the activation of the application. A request for refund processing in a predetermined format including instruction data is transmitted to the non-contact IC chip 100.

  Based on the reception of the refund process request, the digital control unit 103 temporarily stores the received remittance process request, and the application instructed to start from the application ID included in the refund process request is an application of the JG application. Specify the JG application activation request to the control unit 55 to cause the control unit 55 to execute the JG application, and the control unit 55 that has activated the JG application primarily stores the refund Output processing request.

  The control unit 55 that has activated the JG application shifts the refund process request from the digital control unit 103 to the refund process shown in FIG. 14 according to the output.

  Based on the JG application, the control unit 55 that has shifted to the refund process is first stored in the visitor card or membership card being received by the card unit 3 (or in some cases, the RAM 328b of the control unit 328 as will be described later). Terminal information, that is, output (transmission) of refund information including the terminal ID included in the specific transaction request in the issuance or additional payment, which is a transaction to which a remaining amount as unused game value is given, and the refund amount Is sent to the card unit 3 through the non-contact IC chip 100.

  Based on the receipt of the refund information output request, the control unit 328 returns the refund information including the terminal ID stored in the receiving visitor card or member card (which may be the RAM 328b) and the remaining amount at that time. By transmitting from the external card reader / writer 330, the control unit 55 performs a refund request receiving process for receiving and acquiring the returned refund information through the non-contact IC chip 100 (Sh1). That is, in the refund request receiving process of Sh1, the card unit 3 which is a return device specifies the return amount which is the unused amount and the additional payment (transaction) to which the remaining amount which is the unused game value is given. Refund information that is a refund request including the terminal ID included in the transaction request is received, and the refund request receiving step in the present invention is formed by the refund request receiving process.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sh <b> 2, where the acquired terminal ID is compared with its own terminal ID stored in the memory unit 60, and a determination process is performed to determine whether both terminal IDs match. That is, in the determination process of Sh2, it is determined whether or not the terminal ID included in the received refund information and the terminal ID stored in the memory unit 60 of the mobile phone 5 match. The determination step of the present invention is formed by the determination process.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sh3 on condition that both terminal IDs match in the determination in the determination process of Sh2, and the steps after Sh3 are performed. If both terminal IDs do not match, go to Sh9. Then, the terminal ID mismatch error is transmitted to the card unit 3 through the non-contact IC chip 100 and the refund process is stopped. Upon receiving this terminal ID mismatch error, the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 displays a message indicating that refund is not possible because the mobile phone 5 used for additional payment of the remaining amount is different from the mobile phone to be refunded. The information is displayed on the unit 312 and the processing is stopped. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the unused amount from being illegally returned to another person's mobile phone 5.

  In Sh3, the control unit 55 accesses the usage history in the storage area 104c of the card management company in the memory 104, specifies the usage amount stored as the latest usage history and the electronic money service provider, Proceeding to Sh4, it is determined whether or not the refund amount included in the received refund information exceeds the specified usage amount.

  In the determination of Sh4, if the refund amount exceeds the specified usage amount, the total amount of multiple additional deposits exists as the remaining amount, and was used for each of these additional deposits. Since there may be cases where the electronic money service company is different, in this embodiment, the process proceeds to Sh10, where refund is not possible, and the refund process is stopped by sending an amount error to the card unit 3 through the non-contact IC chip 100.

  The control unit 328 of the card unit 3 that has received this amount error indicates that the unused remaining amount remaining on the visitor card or the membership card at the time of the previous payment is still unused and cannot be refunded. A message to be displayed is displayed on the display unit 312 and the processing is stopped.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in Sh4 that the refund amount does not exceed the specified usage amount, the process proceeds to Sh5, and a request for payment of the return amount is made to the electronic money application provided by the electronic money service provider specified in Sh3. The deposit request output process to be output is executed.

  In response to the output of the deposit request, the control unit 55 temporarily suspends the processing by the JG application, starts the electronic money application that has received the output of the deposit request, and outputs from the JG application based on the electronic money application. After the amount of refund included in the received payment request is updated by adding to the balance as the amount of electronic money of the electronic money service provider, a completion notification is output to the JG application. The electronic money application notifies the server computers 16, 17... Of the electronic money service providing company that the addition to the remaining amount, which is the amount of electronic money, has been made, and ends the electronic money application.

  In other words, on the condition that both terminal IDs are determined to match in the determination process of Sh2, a deposit request including a return amount that is an unused amount included in the refund information acquired (received) in Sn1 is sent to the electronic money application. The amount of refund included in the deposit request in the remaining amount of the electronic money service company used for the additional deposit of the remaining amount corresponding to the refund amount stored in the memory 104 serving as the electronic money amount storage unit Therefore, a refund process and a refund step for adding to the electronic money amount in the present invention are formed by the deposit request output process.

  Based on the output of the completion notification, the control unit 55 resumes the processing by the temporarily suspended JG application, proceeds to Sh6, and updates the subtraction amount from the latest usage history usage amount specified in Sh3. In addition, if the date of the usage history is today's date, the unused amount subtraction update process for subtracting and updating the return amount from today's usage amount is performed. carry out.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sh7 to access the above-mentioned upper limit amount, specify the upper limit amounts for use (30000 yen / day and 300,000 yen / month in this embodiment) for today and this month (this month), and specify Calculate the new available amount after refund using the lesser of the difference between each usage limit and this month's usage amount after subtraction update and today's usage amount (there may be no subtraction) After the completion screen including the available amount is displayed on the display unit 56, a completion notification including the available amount calculated in Sh7 is transmitted to the card unit 3 through the non-contact IC chip 100 (Sh8).

  When receiving the completion notification, the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 turns on the electronic money notification unit 331 for a predetermined period to notify the player (user) that the communication has been completed successfully, A refund request including the refund amount and the card ID being received is transmitted to the system controller 110. Based on reception of a refund completion notification returned from the system controller 110 in response to the transmission of the refund request, When the new remaining amount of 0 yen is updated and stored in the visitor card or membership card, and the accepted card is a membership card, the membership card is returned, and the accepted card is a visitor card The visitor card is reserved in the card reader / writer 327 so that the next player can add money to the visitor card. . The reserved visitor cards are collected in a collection unit (not shown) in the card reader / writer 327 by newly receiving a visitor card or a membership card.

  Further, in the card unit 3 of this embodiment, when a visitor card or a member card is not received in the card reader / writer 327, the player (user) brings the mobile phone 5 close to the electronic money communication unit 332. As in the case of the refund process, the JG application is started, and there is a predetermined amount preset in the setting data of the JG application, for example, an electronic money remaining amount of 1000 yen or more and an available amount at that time In this case, the specific transaction request including the 1000 yen as a deposit request amount is automatically transmitted to the card unit 3, so that it is specified in the RAM 328b of the control unit 328 instead of the visitor card or the membership card. 1000 yen as a deposit request amount included in the transaction request and the mobile phone 5 By terminal ID is stored, it can be used in a game of 1000 yen, the remaining amount of money is the money.

  If the player (user) performs a return operation to end the game when there is a remaining amount stored in the RAM 328b, the remaining amount refund selection operation unit on the normal screen is operated. In the same manner as described above, a message requesting that the mobile phone 5 be brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 is displayed, and the mobile phone 5 is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 to the player (user).
