Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall system that manages information related to games, and more particularly to a game hall system that electronically organizes the admission of players waiting in line at the entrance of a game shop before the game shop opens.

In game stores where a plurality of gaming machines represented by pachinko machines and slot machines are installed, numbered tickets are often issued for players waiting in line at the entrance of the game store before opening.
This numbered ticket is normally issued for the number of gaming machines installed in the game store (or the number determined by the game store), and is distributed to the players by the store clerk.

When a player wants to receive the numbered ticket, the numbered ticket distribution start time specified by the game store (for example, 9:00 am one hour before the store opening time at a game store whose opening time is 10:00 am) Come to the amusement store entrance and line up behind the line.
When it is time to start distributing the numbered tickets, the game shop clerk distributes the numbered tickets with the serial number to the lined-up players according to the waiting order.

The player who receives the numbered ticket has free time until the opening time, but immediately before the opening time, the player holds the numbered ticket and gathers again at the entrance of the gaming store and waits for an instruction to enter.
When the store opening time is reached, the store clerk causes the players to enter the amusement store in the order of the serial numbers described on the numbered ticket. When the entry of the player who has the numbered ticket is completed (or when a predetermined time has elapsed since the opening), the store clerk enters the player who does not have the numbered ticket.

  In this way, the game store can issue a numbered ticket to smoothly perform the flow of the players at the time of opening the store, and the operating rate can be increased. On the other hand, the players can enter the hall entrance early and wait for the opening of the store, so that they can enter with priority over other players, and can enjoy the game with the desired gaming machine.

By the way, various techniques have been proposed for the management of a player using a numbered ticket.
For example, there is a system that includes a numbered ticket terminal that prints and issues this numbered ticket data on a numbered ticket upon receipt of numbered ticket data from a numbered ticket management device (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
According to this technique, since the numbered ticket management device manages the numbered ticket data, it is possible to reduce the labor of the store clerk managing the numbered ticket. Moreover, since the numbered ticket terminal issues a numbered ticket, the complexity at the time of distribution can be eliminated.

In addition, when the management server accepts a numbered ticket issuance request from the information terminal, it sends the numbered ticket data to the information terminal. There is a technique in which a reference number is specified from numbered ticket data, and admission permission or disapproval is determined and notified based on the reference number (for example, see Patent Document 2).
According to this technique, the player can download the numbered ticket data to his or her own information terminal and perform priority entry to the amusement store and secure a gaming machine after entry. In addition, for the store clerk of the amusement store, the burden on the business can be reduced because the handling operations for the game customers are reduced.

However, the techniques described in the above-mentioned patent documents have the following problems.
For example, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, a numbered ticket printed out by a numbered ticket terminal is handed over to a player who is lined up at the entrance of a game store before the store clerk opens. Here, some of the players received a numbered ticket and resell it to others without using it. Such actions have to be prevented as fraudulent activities because all of the resold profits are for the person.
In the technique described in Patent Document 2, the numbered ticket data is a QR code. This QR code can be printed and can be resold.

  The present invention has been considered in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a game hall system that can prevent the resale of numbered tickets.

  In order to achieve this object, the gaming system of the present invention includes a table reservation management device that stores member data related to table reservation and data related to table reservation, a table reservation confirmation terminal installed in a game store, and a gaming machine. A game room system provided with a corresponding machine installed in the machine, wherein the machine reservation management device has identification information readable by the machine reservation confirmation terminal and unique to the storage medium owned by the member. When the game machine reservation is made from the player terminal of the member, the identification information is stored as data related to the machine reservation, and the machine reservation confirmation terminal stores the identification information from the storage medium. When the identification information is received, the table reservation management device confirms the table reservation and associates the identification information with the game machine between which the table reservation is made. The table machine reads the identification information from the storage medium and transmits it to the table reservation management device. When the table reservation management device receives the identification information from the table machine, it determines whether or not the ball lending is permitted. The result is transmitted to the machine.

According to the game field system of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of resale printed like a conventional ticket or a QR code (registered trademark).

A member who receives the above effects. For this reason, reserved members are different from so-called “stored ball members” and “point card members”. However, depending on the configuration of the game hall system 1, it is possible for the “stored ball member” and the “point card member” to enjoy the service provided by the game hall system 1. The configuration of the game hall system 1 in this case will be described in the second embodiment. Note that the reserved member of the present embodiment and the main member of the second embodiment are collectively referred to as “members related to table reservation”.

The communication unit 25 transmits and receives data to and from the table management device 30. Specifically, for example, the mobile phone ID read by the ID reader 22 and the machine number extracted from the storage means 26 are transmitted to the machine management device 30.

“Reservation order” indicates the order in which the reservation is made by the reservation member, and is assigned with a serial number in order from the earliest registered time in the reservation model determination database in the reservation processing (described later). .
“Reserved model” indicates a model for which a reserved member has performed “main reservation” or “waiting for cancellation”.

“Reservation” is a flag indicating whether or not the reservation member has reserved the model indicated in “Reservation model”. This “real reservation” stores either “flag 0” indicating that the model is not reserved or “flag 1” indicating that the model is reserved.
In the following description, “flag 0” is simply represented as “0”, and “flag 1” is simply represented as “1”.

“Waiting for cancellation” is a flag indicating whether or not the reservation member is waiting for cancellation of the model indicated in “Reserved model”. This “waiting for cancellation” stores either “0” indicating that the model is not waiting for cancellation or “1” indicating that the model is waiting for cancellation. The case where “1” is stored in the “waiting for cancellation” includes, for example, the case where the model desired by the reservation member cannot be “reserved” and the model is waited for cancellation.
“Multi-reservation” means that one reserved member performs both “main reservation” for one model and “waiting for cancellation” on the same day (case 1), or one reserved member is the same This flag is set when “waiting for cancellation” of a plurality of models is performed on the day (case 2). In this “multiple reservations”, “1” indicating the case 1 or 2 and “0” indicating neither the case 1 nor the case 2 are stored.

“Cancel wait confirmation” is a flag indicating whether or not a reservation member who has set “wait for cancellation” to “1” has executed a machine reservation confirmation process (described later) at the machine reservation confirmation terminal 70 within a predetermined time before opening the store. is there. In the “confirmation of cancellation waiting”, either “1” indicating that the reserved member has executed the table reservation confirmation processing within a predetermined time before the opening of the store or “0” indicating other states is stored. . If “1” is stored in this “wait for cancellation”, “wait for cancellation” is changed from “1” to “0” (deletion of “wait for cancellation”).
The “order for waiting for cancellation” is the order given to the reservation confirmation data for which “confirmation for cancellation cancellation” is “1” according to the reservation order for each model.

“Reservation provisional confirmation” is a reservation reservation process performed by the reservation member at the reservation reservation confirmation terminal 70 when the reservation member “waits for cancellation” for one model and “main reservation” for the other model. Is a flag indicating whether or not In the “tentative final reservation”, either “1” indicating that the reserved member has executed the table reservation confirmation process within a predetermined time before opening the store or “0” indicating other states is stored. The
When “1” is stored in the “tentative final confirmation”, the “main reservation” is changed from “1” to “0” (deletion of “main reservation”).
In addition, “1” of “Book Reservation” is changed to “0” and “0” of “Book Reservation Temporary Confirmation” is changed to “1” (from “Book Reservation” to “Book Reservation Temporary Confirmation”). Change “1” of “waiting for cancellation” to “0” and “0” of “confirmation of cancellation” to “1” (from “waiting for cancellation” to “confirmation of cancellation”) At the same time (when the reservation reservation confirmation process is executed).
Furthermore, when a “cancellation confirmation” is set to “1” because “cancel wait confirmation” is set to “1”, when “actual confirmation” described later is set to “1”, “main reservation provisional confirmation” of other models Is changed from “1” to “0” (cancellation of “final reservation provisional confirmation”). This is to prevent one reserved member from playing with a plurality of models (plural units).

The “final confirmation” is a flag indicating whether or not a reservation member who has performed only “main reservation” without performing “waiting for cancellation” has executed the table reservation confirmation process at the table reservation confirmation terminal 70. In this “final confirmation”, either “1” indicating that the reserved member has executed the table reservation confirmation processing within a predetermined time before the opening of the store or “0” indicating other states is stored. When “1” is stored, “main reservation” is changed from “1” to “0” (deletion of “main reservation”).
In addition, when “cancellation confirmation” is set to “1” and “cancellation is confirmed” is performed, when a game of the model is desired, the machine reservation correction process (described later) is performed. This flag is changed from “cancel waiting for cancellation”. In this case, “final confirmation” stores either “1” indicating that the game of the model is desired or “0” indicating the other state. When “1” is stored, “cancel waiting confirmation” is changed from “1” to “0” (deletion of “cancel waiting confirmation”).

As shown in FIG. 8, the inter-machine-mobile phone ID assignment database is configured with “inter-machine number”, “model”, and “assigned mobile telephone ID” as items.
The “assigned mobile phone ID” is reserved model data in which “main reservation provisional confirmation” in the reserved model confirmation database is “1” by executing the inter-vehicle machine-identification information allocation process (described later) of the machine reservation correction process. Or, the “mobile phone ID” included in any of the reserved model data whose “final confirmation” is “1” is the target of the reservation for which the “real reservation temporary confirmation” or “final confirmation” is made.

Then, “0” is stored in each of “waiting for cancellation”, “multiple reservations”, “confirmation of waiting for cancellation”, “provisional provisional confirmation”, and “final confirmation”. As a result, the full reservation of the model A made by the reservation member is registered in the reserved model determination database of the table reservation management device 50.

The reserved member goes to the amusement store until a predetermined time before opening the store on the reservation date (within the reception time for the terminal reservation confirmation terminal), and operates the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 installed in the game shop. Thereby, a table reservation confirmation process (step 12) is performed.
In this table reservation confirmation process, when a reserved member holds the mobile phone 90 over the ID reader 76 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70, the ID reader 76 reads “mobile phone ID” from the mobile phone 90, and the table reservation management device 50. Send to.
The table reservation management device 50 searches the reserved model determination database using the received “mobile phone ID” as a key, and determines whether there is reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID” (reservation verification). .

As a result of the determination, when there is reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID”, the control means 55, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), “1” of “main reservation” of the reserved model data. "" Is changed to "0", and "0" in "Finalize" is changed to "1". Thereby, the main reservation of the model A made by the reservation member is confirmed.
On the other hand, if the reservation member does not go to the amusement shop within the reception time on the table reservation confirmation terminal on the reservation date, the table reservation confirmation processing (step 12) is not executed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), in the reserved model determination database, the “reservation” of the reservation model data of the reserved member is left as “1”, and “this determination” remains as “0”. The “real reservation” is not finalized.

When the predetermined time before the opening of the store is reached (when the time for accepting the machine reservation correction process is completed), the machine reservation management apparatus 50 executes the inter-vehicle machine-identification information allocation process of the machine reservation correction process (step 13).
Here, the control means 55 of the machine reservation management apparatus 50 refers to the reserved model determination database and searches for reserved model data in which “main reservation” is determined (reserved model data in which “main determination” is “1”). As a result of the search, the “reserved model” included in the extracted reserved model data is used to create or refer to the inter-vehicle machine-cell phone ID allocation database, and the “mobile phone ID included in the extracted reserved model data is retrieved. "Is assigned to the reserved machine number.
On the other hand, reservation model data for which “Book Reservation” is not confirmed (reservation model data for which “Book Confirmation” is “0”) is not registered in the created inter-machine-cell phone ID assignment database. No assignment of “mobile phone ID” to “inter-machine number” is performed.

When the store opening time is reached, the table reservation management device 50 executes a table reception process (step 14).
When the reserved member enters the amusement store, the reserved member sits on the seat of the reserved gaming machine 10 and holds the mobile phone 90 over the ID reader 22 of the intermediary machine 20. The ID reader 22 reads “mobile phone ID” from the mobile phone 90. The control means 27 retrieves the “vehicle machine number” from the storage means 26, and transmits these “car machine number” and “mobile phone ID” to the machine reservation management device 50 via the communication means 25.
The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the transmitted “inter-machine number” and “mobile phone ID”. The control means 55 refers to the inter-machine-mobile phone ID assignment database and searches for the “mobile phone ID”.

As a result of the search, the “mobile phone ID” is registered in the database between the machine and the mobile phone ID assignment, and one of the “machine numbers” associated with the “mobile phone ID” is received. When it is the same as the “machine number”, the ball lending in the inter-machine 20 indicated by the “inter-machine number” is canceled. Thereby, the reserved member can play a game with the reserved gaming machine 10 of the model A. The “ball lending” includes lending a pachinko ball that is a game medium of the pachinko machine 10a and lending a medal that is a game medium of the slot machine 10b.
On the other hand, when the “mobile phone ID” is not registered in the table machine-cell phone ID assignment database, the ball lending from the table machine 20 is not released (rejected). As a result, the reserved member cannot play a game with the reserved gaming machine 10 of the model A. In this case, the reserved member cannot play until a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening of the store.

(II-22) When a reservation member waits for cancellation In the table reservation process (step 11), the reservation member tried to make a reservation for model A, but the number of reservations from other reservation members for that model A When the reservation limit cannot be reached because the reservation limit has been reached, the model A can be waited for cancellation. In this case, the reserved member operates the mobile phone 90 and inputs “reserved member ID”, “reservation date”, “model for waiting for cancellation”, and uses these “reserved member ID” as a waiting request for cancellation. To the table reservation management device 50.

  The control means 55 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 refers to the reservation model determination database of “reservation date” included in the cancellation wait request, and “reservation member ID” and “model waiting for cancellation” included in the cancellation wait request. Is newly added to the reserved model determination database. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13A, “1” is stored in “Waiting for cancellation” of the newly added reserved model data. Then, “0” is stored in each of “main reservation”, “multiple reservations”, “cancel waiting confirmation”, “main reservation provisional determination”, and “main determination”. Further, “reserved model” stores “model for waiting for cancellation” included in the request for waiting for cancellation. As a result, the waiting for the cancellation of the model A performed by the reservation member is registered in the reserved model determination database of the table reservation management device 50.

The reservation member goes to the amusement store within the reception time on the reservation reservation terminal on the reservation date, and operates the reservation reservation confirmation terminal 70. Thereby, a table reservation confirmation process (step 12) is performed.
In this table reservation confirmation process, when a reserved member holds the mobile phone 90 over the ID reader 76 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70, the “mobile phone ID” is read by the ID reader 76 and transmitted to the table reservation management device 50. .
The table reservation management device 50 searches the reserved model determination database using the received “mobile phone ID” as a key, and determines whether there is reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID” (reservation verification). .

As a result of the determination, when there is reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID”, the control means 55, as shown in FIG. 13A, “1” of “waiting for cancellation” of the reserved model data. "Is changed to" 0 ", and" 0 "of" Confirmation of cancellation waiting "is changed to" 1 ". Thereby, the waiting for the cancellation of the model A performed by the reservation member is confirmed.
On the other hand, if the reservation member does not go to the amusement shop within the reception time on the table reservation confirmation terminal on the reservation date, the table reservation confirmation processing (step 12) is not executed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13C, in the reserved model determination database, “reservation waiting” of the reservation member data of the reserved member is kept “1” and “confirmation of cancellation waiting” remains “0”. The cancellation waiting state is not finalized.

When the reservation member cancels the model A for which “cancel waiting for cancellation” occurs, the reservation member can “confirm” the model A in the machine reservation correction process (step 13).
In this case, the reservation member operates the mobile phone 90 to transmit a request to change “confirmation of waiting for cancellation” to “main confirmation” to the table reservation management device 50.
When the communication unit 51 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 receives the request, the control unit 55 sets “1” of “cancel waiting” of the reserved model data to “0” as shown in FIG. Change “0” of “Finalize” to “1”. As a result, the reservation member can play a game with the model A waiting for cancellation.
On the other hand, if no cancellation has occurred for the model A for which the reservation member has “confirmed for cancellation”, the machine reservation correction process (step 13) is not executed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13 (o), in the reserved model determination database, “reservation waiting determination” of the reserved model data of the reserved member remains “1” and “mainly determined” remains “0”. The game cannot be played on the model A waiting for cancellation.

When the acceptable time for the table reservation correction process ends, the table reservation management apparatus 50 executes a table machine-identification information allocation process.
Here, for reserved model data (reserved model data whose “final confirmation” is “1”) changed from “confirmation of waiting for cancellation” to “final confirmation”, the “mobile phone ID” included in the reserved model data is , It is assigned to the “phone number of the reserved machine” in the reserved machine-mobile phone ID assignment database.
On the other hand, reserved model data in which “cancel waiting confirmation” is kept but not “finally confirmed” (reserved model data in which “cancel waiting confirmation” is “1”) and a reservation in which “waiting for cancellation” is not yet confirmed For model data (reserved model data whose “waiting for cancellation” is “1”), the “mobile phone ID” included in the reserved model data is not registered in the inter-vehicle machine-mobile phone ID assignment database. No assignment to “machine number” is performed.

When the store opening time is reached, the table reservation management device 50 executes a table reception process (step 14).
When the reserved member enters the amusement store, the reserved member sits on the seat of the gaming machine 10 and holds the mobile phone 90 over the ID reader 22 of the intermediary machine 20. As a result, the “mobile phone ID” is read from the mobile phone 90 and transmitted to the stand reservation management device 50 together with the “inter-machine number”.
The control means 55 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 refers to the table machine-cell phone ID assignment database and searches for the received “cell phone ID”.

As a result of the search, the “mobile phone ID” is registered in the database between the machine and the mobile phone ID assignment, and one of the “machine numbers” associated with the “mobile phone ID” is received. When it is the same as the “machine number”, the ball lending in the inter-machine 20 indicated by the “inter-machine number” is canceled. As a result, the reserved member can play a game with the gaming machine 10 of the model A that has been “finally confirmed”.
On the other hand, when the “mobile phone ID” is not registered in the table machine-cell phone ID assignment database, the ball lending from the table machine 20 is not released (rejected). As a result, the reserved member cannot play a game on the gaming machine 10 of model A waiting for cancellation. In this case, the reserved member cannot play until a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening of the store.

(II-23) In the case where the reservation member performs both the main reservation and the waiting for cancellation In the table reservation process (step 11), the reservation member tried to make a reservation for the model A, but from other reservation members for the model A If the reservation cannot be made because the number of book reservations reaches the reservation limit, the model A can be canceled and another model B can be reserved. In this case, the reserved member operates the mobile phone 90 to input “reserved member ID”, “reservation date”, “model waiting for cancellation”, “reserved model”, and enter these “reserved member ID” and the like. The table reservation request is transmitted to the table reservation management device 50.

  The control means 55 of the table reservation management device 50 searches the reservation model determination database of “reservation date” included in the table reservation request, and “reservation member ID” and “model waiting for cancellation” included in the table reservation request. Is added to the reserved model confirmation database, and the reserved model data including the “reserved member ID” and “reserved model” included in the reservation request is newly added to the reserved model determined database. To do. The former reserved model data is referred to as model A reserved model data, and the latter reserved model data is referred to as model B reserved model data.

In addition, “reserved model” of the newly added reserved model data of model A stores “model waiting for cancellation”. As shown in FIG. 14A, “waiting for cancellation” and “multiple reservations” are stored. "1" is stored in each "." Then, “0” is stored in each of “main reservation”, “cancel waiting determination”, “main reservation provisional determination”, and “main determination”. As a result, the waiting for cancellation of the model A performed by the reservation member is registered in the reserved model determination database of the table reservation management apparatus 50.
Furthermore, “reserved model” included in the machine reservation request is stored in “reserved model” of the reserved model data of the newly added model B. As shown in FIG. And “multiple reservations” each store “1”. Then, “0” is stored in “waiting for cancellation”, “confirmation of waiting for cancellation”, “provisional provisional confirmation”, and “final confirmation”, respectively. As a result, the full reservation of the model B made by the reservation member is registered in the reserved model determination database of the table reservation management device 50.

The reservation member goes to the amusement store within the reception time on the reservation reservation terminal on the reservation date, and operates the reservation reservation confirmation terminal 70. Thereby, a table reservation confirmation process (step 12) is performed.
In this table reservation confirmation process, when a reserved member holds the mobile phone 90 over the ID reader 76 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70, the “mobile phone ID” is read from the mobile phone 90 and transmitted to the table reservation management device 50. .
The table reservation management device 50 searches the reserved model determination database using the received “mobile phone ID” as a key, and determines whether there is reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID” (reservation verification). .

  As a result of the determination, when there is reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID”, the control means 55 indicates “waiting for cancellation” of the reserved model data of the model A as shown in FIG. “1” is changed to “0”, and “0” in “Cancel wait confirmation” is changed to “1”. Thereby, the waiting for the cancellation of the model A performed by the reservation member is confirmed. Further, as shown in FIG. 14D, “1” of “main reservation” of the reservation model data of model B is changed to “0”, and “0” of “main reservation provisional confirmation” is changed to “1”. change. Thereby, the final reservation of the model B made by the reservation member is provisionally confirmed. In order to check whether or not there are a plurality of reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID” as a result of the verification of the reservation, the “multiple reservation” of the reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID” is set. What is necessary is just to confirm whether it is set to "1".

  On the other hand, if the reservation member does not go to the amusement shop within the reception time on the table reservation confirmation terminal on the reservation date, the table reservation confirmation processing (step 12) is not executed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 14 (o), in the reserved model determination database, “reserved waiting” of the reserved model data of the reserved member model A is “1”, and “cancel waiting cancel” is “0”. It is left as it is, and it is not confirmed (unconfirmed waiting for cancellation). In addition, as shown in FIG. 14 (f), in the reserved model determination database, “Book Reservation” of the reserved model data of the model B of the reserved member is “1”, and “Book Reserve Temporary Confirm” is “0”. It will be left as it is and will not be confirmed (the reservation is not confirmed yet).

When the reservation member cancels the model A for which “cancel waiting for cancellation” occurs, the reservation member can “confirm” the model A in the machine reservation correction process (step 13).
In this case, the reservation member operates the mobile phone 90 to transmit a request to change “confirmation of waiting for cancellation” to “main confirmation” to the table reservation management device 50.
When the communication means 51 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 receives the request, the control means 55 sets “1” of “confirmation of cancellation waiting” of the reservation model data of the model A to “0” as shown in FIG. "0" in "Finalize" is changed to "1". As a result, the game can be played with the model A that the reserved member has been waiting for cancellation. Further, as shown in FIG. 14 (k), “1” of “main reservation temporary confirmation” of the reservation model data of model B is changed to “0”. Thereby, the main reservation of the model B by a reservation member can be canceled and the game with two or more units can be prevented.

On the other hand, if no cancellation has occurred for the model A for which the reservation member has “confirmed for cancellation”, the machine reservation correction process (step 13) is not executed. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 14 (K), in the reserved model determination database, “cancel waiting determination” of the reserved model data of the reserved member remains “1” and “mainly determined” remains “0”. The game cannot be played on the model A waiting for cancellation. However, as shown in FIG. 14 (K), the “main reservation provisional confirmation” of the reserved model data of the model B is left as “1”, so that the reserved member can play with the model B.
If the reserved member does not go to the amusement store within the reception time on the reservation reservation terminal on the reservation date, the reservation reservation correction process (step 13) is not executed. For this reason, in the reserved model determination database, the reserved model data of the model A is stored in the state shown in FIG. 14 (o), so that the game with the model A waiting for cancellation cannot be performed. Furthermore, since the reserved model data of model B is stored in the state shown in FIG. 14 (f), the game with model B that has been reserved is not possible.

When the acceptable time for the table reservation correction process ends, the table reservation management apparatus 50 executes a table machine-identification information allocation process.
Here, with respect to the reserved model data (reserved model data of model A whose “final confirmation” is “1”) changed from “confirmation waiting for cancellation” to “final confirmation”, the “cell phone” “ID” is assigned to “Available machine number” of model A in the inter-machine-cell phone ID assignment database. In this case, the reservation model data of model B is not assigned to the “table machine number” of model B in the table machine-cell phone ID assignment database because “main reservation temporary confirmation” is “0”. .

On the other hand, reserved model data whose “waiting for cancellation” is unconfirmed (reserved model data for model A whose “waiting for cancellation” is “1”) and reserved model data whose “waiting for cancellation” is fixed (“ (Reserved model data for model A with “Cancel wait confirmation” set to “1”) is not registered in the inter-vehicle machine-mobile phone ID assignment database, and the “mobile phone ID” is also assigned to the “inter-machine number”. Not done.
In addition, for the reserved model data of the model B whose “real reservation temporary confirmation” is “1”, the “mobile phone ID” included in the reserved model data is the model B of the inter-machine-cell phone ID assignment database. Assigned to “Between machine number”.

When the store opening time is reached, the table reservation management device 50 executes a table reception process (step 14).
When the reserved member enters the amusement store, the reserved member sits on the seat of the gaming machine 10 and holds the mobile phone 90 over the ID reader 22 of the intermediary machine 20. As a result, the “mobile phone ID” is read from the mobile phone 90 and transmitted to the table reservation management device 50.
The control means 55 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 refers to the table machine-cell phone ID assignment database and searches for the received “cell phone ID”.
As a result of the search, when the “mobile phone ID” is registered in the pedestal machine-mobile phone ID assignment database, the ball lending from the pedestal machine 20 is cancelled. As a result, the reserved member can play a game on the gaming machine 10 of the model A that has been “finally confirmed” or the model B that has been “tentatively confirmed to be fully reserved”.
On the other hand, when the “mobile phone ID” is not registered in the table machine-cell phone ID assignment database, the ball lending from the table machine 20 is not released (rejected). As a result, the reservation member cannot play a game on the gaming machine 10 of the model A that has been “waiting for cancellation” or the model B that has been “mainly reserved”. In this case, the reserved member cannot play until a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening of the store.

(II-3) Reserved Member Registration Process The reserved member registration process is a process executed by the hall management device 40 or the like when a player registers as a reserved member.
This reserved member registration process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is an operation procedure diagram showing the procedure of the reserved member registration process.

  A person who wants to become a reserved member (reserved member applicant) first fills in the necessary information on a predetermined application form. The application form has at least a column for entering a password. In addition, the application form can be provided with a column for entering the e-mail address of the mobile phone. In addition, the application form can be provided with a column for entering the name and sex of the reservation member applicant.

Reserving member applicants hand over the application form filled in with the necessary information to the clerk at the counter of the amusement store. The store clerk inputs the items entered on the application form as reserved member registration data into a member registration device (for example, a POS terminal, not shown) installed in the counter (step 20 in FIG. 15).
Further, the store clerk instructs the reservation member applicant to bring the mobile phone 90 possessed by the reservation member applicant closer to an ID reader (not shown) connected to the member registration apparatus.
The reserved member applicant brings the mobile phone 90 possessed by the subscriber closer to the ID reader. Then, the ID reader reads the “mobile phone ID” from the mobile phone 90 (step 21) and sends it to the member registration device.

Here, “mobile phone ID” refers to an identification number unique to the mobile phone. For example, IDm, which is a serial number unique to the FeliCa chip (FeliCa is a registered trademark) built in the mobile phone, can be used as the “mobile phone ID”.
In this embodiment, “mobile phone ID” is used as one of the reserved member registration data, but the mobile phone ID is not limited to “mobile phone ID”. A device that can be read by one or more of the devices constituting the game hall system 1, for example, a “main member card ID” stored in a member card may be used. An example using this “main member card ID” will be described in the second embodiment.

The member registration device associates the “mobile phone ID” sent from the ID reader with the reserved member registration data input by the store clerk, and transmits them to the hall management device 40 as reserved member registration data (step 22). The communication means 41 of the hall management device 40 receives the reserved member registration data from the member registration device (step 23).
The control means 45 of the hall management device 40 determines whether or not the “mobile phone ID” included in the received reserved member registration data already exists in the reserved member database stored in the storage means 42. Is determined (step 24).
As a result of the determination, when the received “mobile phone ID” is present in the reserved member database, an already registered notification indicating that the user is already registered as a reserved member is transmitted to the member registration apparatus (step 25). The member registration device displays the contents of the registered notification on the screen (step 26). When the clerk confirms the screen display, the clerk informs the reservation member applicant that the reservation member is already registered.

On the other hand, when the “mobile phone ID” received in the reserved member database does not exist, the control means 45 generates a “reserved member ID” for the reserved member applicant, and the reserved member of the reserved member applicant. In association with the registration data, it is stored in the reserved member database of the storage means 42 (assignment and storage of reserved member ID, step 27). As a result, the reservation member applicant is registered in the hall management device 40 as a reservation member.
In addition, the control means 45 transmits the generated “reserved member ID” to the member registration apparatus together with all or part of the reservation registration data (for example, a mobile phone ID) (step 28). When the member registration device receives the “reserved member ID” and the like (step 29), the member registration device displays this on the screen and prints out a predetermined item including the “reserved member ID” on a printing device (not shown) ( Step 30). The store clerk gives the reserved member applicant the paper on which the “reserved member ID” is printed. Note that the member registration apparatus can store the “reserved member ID” in the reserved member card and issue the reserved member card.

Further, the control means 45 of the hall management device 40 retrieves the reserved member registration data newly registered in the reserved member database from the storage means 42 and transmits it to the table reservation management device 50 via the communication means 41 (step 31). ).
The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the reserved member registration data. The control means 55 updates the reserved member registration data by adding it to the reserved member database stored in the storage means 52 and stores it in the storage means 52 (step 32). Thereby, the hall management device 40 and the table reservation management device 50 can each store a reserved member database composed of the same data.

(II-4) Stand Reservation Process The stand reservation process refers to a process in which a reservation member reserves the gaming machine 10 using the player terminal 90 that he / she owns before the day on which the game is to be performed.
Hereinafter, the table reservation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a procedure in which the game hall system 1 executes a table reservation process. FIG. 17 is an operation procedure diagram showing a procedure of processes executed between the player terminal 90 and the machine reservation management device 50 in the machine reservation process.
It should be noted that the object to be reserved in this machine reservation process may be a single gaming machine 10 or a “special gaming machine corner” such as a model constituted by a plurality of gaming machines 10 or a variety corner. You can also. However, in the present embodiment, a reservation target is described as a model.

The storage means 52 of the table reservation management device 50 stores in advance a reserved member database (see FIG. 5), a model-inter-device allocation database (see FIG. 6), and a reserved model determination database (see FIG. 7). Yes.
In addition, the table reservation management device 50 opens a website of a game store where the game room system 1 is constructed.

The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 accesses a site established by the table reservation management device 50 when a reserved member possessing the player terminal 90 operates the input means 94 (FIG. 17). Step 60).
The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 transmits the web page of the site to the accessing player terminal 90.
The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the transmitted web page, and the display means 93 displays the web page (step 40 in FIG. 16, step 61 in FIG. 17).
The input means 94 of the player terminal 90 inputs the “reserved member ID” according to the instruction on the web page by the operation of the reserved member. Then, the communication means 91 transmits the “reserved member ID” as a reserved member collation request to the table reservation managing apparatus 50 (step 41 in FIG. 16 and step 62 in FIG. 17).

The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the reserved member verification request transmitted from the player terminal 90.
The control means 55 of the table reservation management device 50 refers to the reserved member database in the storage means 52, and whether or not the “reserved member ID” included in the received reserved member verification request is registered in the reserved member database. (Reserved member verification, step 42 in FIG. 16, step 63 in FIG. 17).
As a result of the determination, if the “reserved member ID” is not registered in the reserved member database, a member non-registration notification indicating that it is not registered is transmitted to the player terminal 90 (step 43 in FIG. 16). The player terminal 90 receives the member non-registration notification and displays the content on the display means 93.

  In FIG. 16, when the member non-registration notification (step 43) is executed, the table reservation process is terminated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the player displaying the content of the member non-registration notification In the terminal 90, the “reserved member ID” may be input again and transmitted to the table reservation management apparatus 50 to perform member verification. In this case, it is possible to set an upper limit on the number of times the “reserved member ID” is input.

On the other hand, when the “reserved member ID” is registered in the reserved member database, the control means 55 permits the player terminal 90 to access the reserved member dedicated page, and sets the communication means 51 to Then, the reserved member exclusive page is transmitted to the player terminal 90 (step 64 in FIG. 17).
The communication unit 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the transmitted reserved member-dedicated page, and the display unit 93 displays the reserved member-dedicated page (step 65). The input means 94 inputs the date (reservation desired date) on which the game is to be performed by the operation of the reservation member in accordance with the instruction content of the reservation member dedicated page. The communication means 91 transmits the inputted “reservation desired date” to the machine reservation management device 50 as a machine reservation request.

When the communication means 51 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 receives the table reservation request (step 44 in FIG. 16), the control means 55 determines the table based on the “reservation desired date” included in the table reservation request. It is determined whether or not the date and time when the reservation request is received is within the table reservation acceptance time (step 45 in FIG. 16). The table reservation reception time is a time during which a reserved member can make a table reservation. Specifically, for example, “until 24:00 the day before the desired reservation date” can be set.
As a result of the determination, when the date and time when the table reservation request is received is not within the table reservation acceptance time (for example, when the date when the table reservation request is received is the day of the desired reservation date), the table reservation process is terminated. In this case, it is possible to display on the display means 93 of the player terminal 90 that the table reservation cannot be performed because it is not the table reservation acceptance time.

On the other hand, if the date and time when the machine reservation request is received is within the machine reservation acceptance time, then the control means 55 is included in the machine reservation request in the reservation model determination database stored in the storage means 52. Refers to the reserved model confirmation database for the “Reservation Desired Date”, and whether or not the “Reserved Member ID” included in the reserved member verification request is registered in the reserved model determination database. Determines whether or not the “main reservation” associated with the registered “reserved member ID” is “1” (step 46).
As a result of the determination, if the “reserved member ID” is registered in the reserved model determination database and the “main reservation” associated with the “reserved member ID” is “1”, the table reservation process is terminated. To do. The determination in step 46 is executed to prevent one reservation member from making “main reservation” for a plurality of models on the same “reservation desired date”.

Even if “waiting for cancellation” associated with the reserved member ID indicates “1”, when “main reservation” is not “1” (when “main reservation” is “0”), step The result of determination 46 is not “reserved”.
In FIG. 16, when the result of the determination in step 46 is Yes, the table reservation process is ended, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the player terminal 90, another “reservation request” "Day" may be input again, this may be transmitted to the machine reservation management device 50, and the processing after step 44 in FIG. 16 (after step 66 in FIG. 17) may be executed with the content input again.
Further, if the result of the determination in step 46 is Yes, the table reservation management device 50 transmits the determination result (the actual reservation has already been made on the day indicated by the table reservation request) to the player terminal 90. can do. The player terminal 90 can display the determination result on the screen.

On the other hand, when the “reserved member ID” is not registered in the reserved model determination database, or the registered “reserved member ID” associated with the “reserved member ID” is not “1” (“reserved”) When “is“ 0 ”), the control means 55 transmits the reservation model input screen to the player terminal 90 via the communication means 51.
The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the reservation model input screen. The display means 93 displays an input screen for the reserved model. The input means 94 inputs “reserved model” according to the instruction content of the reservation model input screen by the operation of the reserved member (step 47 in FIG. 16). The communication means 91 transmits the inputted “reserved model” to the table reservation management apparatus 50 as a reserved model request (input / transmission of reserved model etc., step 66 in FIG. 17).

The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the reservation model request. The control means 55 refers to the reserved model determination database for the “reservation desired date” and confirms whether or not the “reserved model” included in the received reserved model request has been booked by another reserved member. Then, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of reservations of the “reserved model” is 0, that is, whether or not the total number of reservations from other reserved members has reached the reservation limit number of the “reserved model” ( Step 48).
As a result of the determination, when the remaining number of reservations of the “reserved model” is not 0 (when the total number of reservations of the “reserved model” from other reserved members has not reached the reservation limit number), the control means 55 In the reserved model confirmation database, “Reserved member ID” included in the reserved member verification request and “Reserved model” included in the reserved model request are newly added, and “Reservation order” is assigned. , Refer to the reserved member database, add “mobile phone ID”, refer to the model-inter-device assignment database, add “assigned inter-device number”, and change “main reservation” to “1” Then, it is stored in the storage means 52 (update of the reserved model confirmation database, step 49 in FIG. 16, step 67 in FIG. 17).

In this update of the reservation model confirmation database, “waiting for cancellation”, “confirmation of waiting for cancellation”, “confirmation of temporary reservation”, and “final confirmation” are respectively associated with the newly added “reservation member ID”. Set to “0”. That is, by executing the step 49 in FIG. 16 and the step 67 in FIG. 17, the “main reservation” for the “reserved model” desired by the reserved member is registered in the reserved model determination database.
Then, the communication means 51 of the machine reservation management apparatus 50 transmits to the player terminal 90 as a result of the reservation that the actual reservation has been made with the contents of the machine reservation request (reservation desired date) and the reservation model request (reserved model). . The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the reservation result, and the display means 93 displays the contents of the reservation result on the screen.

On the other hand, when the remaining number of reservations of the “reserved model” is 0 (when the total number of reservations of the “reserved model” from other reserved members has reached the reservation limit), the communication means 51 With respect to the “reserved model”, a reservation impossible notification indicating that the reservation cannot be made because there is no remaining reservation is transmitted to the player terminal 90 (step 68 in FIG. 17). The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the reservation impossible notification, and the display means 93 displays the contents of the reservation impossible notification on the screen (step 69).
Subsequently, the display means 93 displays a cancel reservation confirmation screen for allowing the reservation member to input whether or not to cancel the reservation. According to this display content, the reservation member selects either “perform cancellation reservation” or “do not perform cancellation reservation” by operating the input means 94. The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 transmits the selected content as a cancel request to the table reservation management device 50 (step 70).

The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the cancel request (step 71). The control means 55 determines whether the content of the cancellation request indicates “perform cancellation reservation” or “not perform cancellation reservation” (step 50 in FIG. 16).
As a result of the determination, when the content of the cancellation request is “perform cancellation reservation”, the control means 55 stores the “reserved member ID” included in the reserved member verification request and the reserved model request in the reserved model confirmation database. "Reservation model" that was included in the list is added, "Reservation order" is added, "Mobile phone ID" is added by referring to the reserved member database, and the model-inter-device allocation database is referenced. The “assigned inter-device number” is added, “waiting for cancellation” is changed to “1”, “waiting for cancellation” is given, and stored in the storage means 52 (update of the reserved model confirmation database, FIG. 16). Step 51 of FIG. 17, step 72 of FIG.
In addition, in this update of the reserved model confirmation database, “Book Reservation”, “Cancel Waiting Confirmation”, “Book Reservation Temporary Confirmation”, and “Book Confirmation” are associated with the newly added “Reservation Member ID”, respectively. Set to “0”. That is, by executing step 51 in FIG. 16 and step 72 in FIG. 17, “waiting for cancellation” for the “reserved model” desired by the reserved member is registered in the reserved model determination database.

On the other hand, when the content of the cancellation request is “do not perform cancellation reservation”, the reservation model determination database is not updated.
After the update of the reserved model determination database in step 51 (step 72) or when the result of the determination in step 50 is No, the control means 55 displays an input confirmation screen for other reserved models as the communication means 51. Is transmitted to the player terminal 90.
The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives an input confirmation screen for another reserved model. The display means 93 displays an input confirmation screen for other reserved models. The input means 94 selects either “Reserve other models” or “Do not reserve other models” according to the instruction content of the input confirmation screen of other reserved models by the operation of the reserved member (see FIG. 16 steps 52). The communication unit 91 transmits the selection result to the table reservation management device 50.

The communication means 51 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 receives the selection result. The control means 55 determines whether the selection result indicates “reserve another model” or “do not reserve another model” (step 52 in FIG. 16).
As a result of the determination, if the selection result indicates “not to reserve another model”, the machine reservation process is terminated.
On the other hand, when the selection result indicates “reserve another model”, the control unit 55 transmits a reserved model input screen to the player terminal 90 via the communication unit 51.
The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the reserved model input screen. The display means 93 displays a reserved model input screen. And the process after step 47 of FIG. 16 (process after step 66 of FIG. 17) is performed.

By executing this table reservation process, the reservation member can operate the player terminal 90 possessed by the reservation member to wait for the actual reservation or cancellation of the desired model on the “reservation desired date”.
Also, by executing “Yes” in the determination process of step 52 in FIG. 16, even if the reservation member decides to wait for cancellation for one model in the determination of step 50, the reservation reservation for another model is made. It can be carried out. Further, when it is determined in step 50 not to wait for cancellation for one model, it is possible to make a main reservation for another model. Note that when one reservation member makes a full reservation or cancellation waiting for a plurality of models, “1” is set in “multiple reservation” of the reserved model data of each model.
Further, in the present embodiment, the execution of step 52 in FIG. 16 enables waiting for cancellation for a plurality of models. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of models that can wait for cancellation is determined. It can also be limited.

(II-5) Stand Reservation Confirmation Processing The stand reservation confirmation processing is performed by a reservation member who comes to the amusement store and operates the stand reservation confirmation terminal 70 by a predetermined time before opening the store on the reserved day. This is a process for confirming or temporarily confirming “main reservation” or “waiting for cancellation”.
Hereinafter, the table reservation confirmation process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the machine reservation confirmation process executed in the game hall system 1. FIG. 19 is an operation procedure diagram showing a flow of data transmitted / received between the machine reservation confirmation terminal 70 and the machine reservation management device 50.

The display means 73 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 displays an opening screen for accepting confirmation of the table reservation (step 80 in FIG. 18). On this opening screen, at least a confirmation start button (input means 74) for the reservation of the car can be displayed.
When the reservation reservation confirmation start button is pressed by the operation of the reservation member (accepting the table reservation confirmation terminal, step 81), the control means 75 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 displays the time when the confirmation start button is pressed. It is determined whether it is within the reservation confirmation terminal reception time (step 82). The table reservation confirmation terminal reception time refers to a time period in which the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 can confirm the table reservation. This stand reservation confirmation terminal reception time can be set, for example, “until 30 minutes before the opening of the store” or “from 7 am to 9:30 am”.

As a result of the determination, if the time when the confirmation start button is pressed is not within the table reservation confirmation terminal reception time, it waits until the table reservation confirmation terminal reception time is reached. At this time, a message indicating that it is not within the table reservation confirmation terminal reception time can be displayed on the display means 73.
On the other hand, when the time when the confirmation start button is pressed is within the table reservation confirmation terminal reception time, the display means 73 then holds the mobile phone held by the reserved member over the ID reader 76 against the reserved member. An ID reading screen is displayed (step 83).
The ID reader 76 reads the “mobile phone ID” from the held mobile phone 90 (step 84). The communication means 71 transmits the read “mobile phone ID” to the table reservation management device 50 (step 100 in FIG. 19).

The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the “mobile phone ID” (step 101). The control unit 55 refers to the reserved model determination database stored in the storage unit 52 and determines whether or not the received “mobile phone ID” is registered in the reserved model determination database (step 85 in FIG. 18). (Refer to the reservation data), step 102 in FIG. 19 (collation)).
As a result of the determination, when the “mobile phone ID” is not registered in the reserved model confirmation database (No in step 86 in FIG. 18), the control means 55 displays a collation result indicating that it has not been registered. The registration notification is transmitted to the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 via the communication means 51 (step 103 in FIG. 19). The communication means 51 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 receives the non-registration notification (step 104). The display means 73 displays the contents of the non-registration notification on the screen.

If the “mobile phone ID” is not registered in the reserved model determination database as described above (No in step 86 in FIG. 18), the same “mobile phone ID” is subsequently received by the ID reader 76 on the same day. Even if read, it is possible to return to the display of the opening screen (step 80 in FIG. 18) without executing the matching process (step 85 in FIG. 18 and step 102 in FIG. 19).
It is also possible to make the opportunity for collation of “mobile phone ID” by the same person a predetermined number of times.

On the other hand, when the “mobile phone ID” is registered in the reserved model confirmation database (Yes in step 86 in FIG. 18), the control unit 55 extracts reserved model data including the “mobile phone ID”. Here, the control means 55 confirms whether or not “multiple reservations” of the extracted reservation model data is “1”. As a result of the confirmation, when “multiple reservations” is “1”, other reserved model data including the same “mobile phone ID” as the “mobile phone ID” of the extracted reserved model data is stored in the reserved model determination database. Extract everything from On the other hand, when “multiple reservations” is not “1” (when “multiple reservations” is “0”), it is not necessary to extract other reservation model data.
Subsequently, the control means 55 determines whether or not there is reserved model data whose “waiting for cancellation” is “1” in the extracted one or more reserved model data (there is a cancellation waiting? Step 87).

As a result of the determination, if there is no reserved model data whose “waiting for cancellation” is “1” in the extracted one or more reserved model data (No in step 87), the “book” of those reserved model data The “reservation” is changed from “1” to “0”, and the “main confirmation” is changed from “0” to “1” (confirmation of reserved model data, step 88). As a result, when only “main reservation” is performed without performing “wait for cancellation”, the “main reservation” can be “finally confirmed”. When the result of the determination in step 87 is “No”, in the extraction of reserved model data after the determination of “Yes” in step 86, “main reservation” is “1” and “multiple reservations”. This is limited to the case where only one reserved model data with “0” is extracted. The reason for this is that multiple “main reservations” cannot be made, and when there are multiple reserved model data including the same “mobile phone ID”, “wait for cancellation” is displayed in the multiple reserved model data. This is because at least one reserved model data “1” is always included.
Then, the control means 55 transmits a reservation model confirmation notification indicating that “main reservation” is “final confirmation” to the machine reservation confirmation terminal 70 via the communication means 51 (step 105 in FIG. 19). The communication means 71 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 receives the reservation model confirmation notification (step 106). The display means 73 displays the contents of the reserved model confirmation notification.

On the other hand, when there is reserved model data whose “waiting for cancellation” is “1” in the extracted one or more reserved model data (Yes in step 87), the control means 55 determines that the reserved model data. The “waiting for cancellation” is changed from “1” to “0”, and the “cancel waiting for cancellation” is changed from “0” to “1” (confirming waiting for cancellation, step 89). Thereby, “waiting for cancellation” can be “confirmed”. If there are a plurality of reserved model data items for which “wait for cancellation” is “1”, the process of step 89 is executed for all of the plurality of reserved model data items.
Subsequently, the control means 55 determines whether or not there is reserved model data whose “main reservation” is “1” in the extracted one or more reserved model data (there is a reservation? Step 90 in FIG.

As a result of the determination, when there is reserved model data in which “main reservation” is “1” in the extracted one or more reserved model data (Yes in step 90 in FIG. 18), the control means 55 Then, the “main reservation” of the reserved model data is changed from “1” to “0”, and the “main reservation temporary confirmation” is changed from “0” to “1” (step 91). As a result, when “waiting for cancellation” is performed for one model and “main reservation” is performed for another model, the “main reservation” can be set to “main reservation provisional confirmation”.
Then, the control means 55 sends a reservation reservation provisional notification via the communication means 51 indicating that the “waiting for cancellation” is “confirmation of waiting for cancellation” and the “main reservation” is “provisional confirmation of reservation”. It transmits to the confirmation terminal 70 (step 107 of FIG. 19). The communication means 71 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 receives the reservation reservation model temporary confirmation notification (step 108). The display means 73 displays the contents of the reservation model temporary confirmation notification.

  On the other hand, when there is no reservation model data in which “main reservation” is “1” in the extracted one or more reservation model data (No in step 90 in FIG. 18), the control means 55 A cancellation waiting registration notification indicating that “waiting for cancellation” is “confirmed waiting for cancellation” is transmitted to the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 via the communication means 51 (step 109 in FIG. 19). The communication means 71 of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 receives the cancellation waiting registration notification (step 110). The display means 73 displays the contents of the cancellation waiting registration notification.

The “reserved model data finalization” in step 88 is different from the “main reservation model data temporary determination” in step 91 in the following points.
“Reserved model data confirmation” in step 88 is a process that occurs when the reservation member makes a full reservation for model A, for example, and does not wait for cancellation of another model. This means that the reservation member desires a game of model A and does not desire a game of another model. By executing this “reserved model data confirmation”, the reserved member can play a game with the model A for which the reservation is confirmed.

  On the other hand, the “mainly reserved model data tentative determination” in step 91 is a process that occurs when the reservation member performs “waiting for cancellation” of the model A, for example, and “book reservation” of another model B, for example. It is. This is because the reservation member wants the game of the model A most, but “cannot make a reservation” because the “book reservation” could not be made. The game can be played by. The execution of this “Reserved Model Data Temporary Confirmation” guarantees that the reserved member will play a game with the model B whose “Book Reservation” is “Preliminary Confirmed.” If “waiting for cancellation” of model A becomes “final confirmation”, the “main reservation temporary confirmation” is canceled and the game can be performed on model A.

Further, the machine reservation confirmation process includes a machine reservation confirmation confirmation process executed at the end of the machine reservation confirmation terminal reception time.
This stand reservation confirmation process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the procedure of the table reservation confirmation confirmation process executed by the table reservation management device 50 at the end of a predetermined time before the opening of the store.

The control means 55 of the table reservation management device 50 determines whether or not the reception time of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 has expired (step 120).
As a result of the determination, if the reception time of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 has not ended, the apparatus waits until the reception time of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70 ends.
On the other hand, when the reception time of the machine reservation confirmation terminal 70 has ended, the control means 55 refers to the reserved model confirmation database stored in the storage means 52 and reserve model data registered in the reserved model confirmation database. Is reset (step 121).

  In resetting the reserved model data, confirmation of the number of cancellations and provision of a waiting order for cancellation are executed.

(Check number of cancellations)
The control means 55 refers to the reserved model confirmation database, and for each model, determines the number of reserved model data with “1” for “final confirmation” and the number of reserved model data with “1” for “tentative provisional confirmation”. Calculate (count) and add these. Next, the sum obtained by the addition is subtracted from the reservation limit number of the model, and the difference obtained by the subtraction is set as the number of cancellations of the model. This is because the reservation member who made the “main reservation” did not execute the table reservation process (step 11) (by visiting the amusement store by a predetermined time before the opening of the reservation date and operating the table reservation confirmation device 70). If the “Book Reservation” does not become “Book Confirmation” or “Book Reservation Temporary Confirmation”, this is a cancellation of the model.

(Canceling waiting order)
The control means 55 refers to the reserved model confirmation database, and sets the order of waiting for cancellation for each model according to the “reservation order” in the “cancel order” of the reserved model data whose “cancel wait confirmation” is “1”. Grant.
Here, one numerical sequence is given for each model. For example, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”,... Are assigned to the model “CR: aaa”, and “1”, “2” are assigned to the model “CR: bbb”. , “3”, “4”, “5”,..., And “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”,. Will be granted.

The control means 55 can add a symbol such as “*” (cancellation occurrence symbol) to the number from “1” to the number of cancellations in the cancellation waiting order. For example, with respect to the model “CR: aaa”, when the number of reserved model data whose “cancel waiting confirmation” is “1” is “8” and the number of cancellations is “3”, as shown in FIG. The order of waiting for cancellation can be given as “* 1”, “* 2”, “* 3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”.
This means that even if the “waiting for cancellation” is the same, the “reservation confirmation” (step 12) is executed and the “main confirmation” is distinguished from the “reservation confirmation” if no cancellation occurs. To be done. However, it is necessary to display the cancel occurrence symbol when it is possible to set the “cancel waiting” to “finally confirm” in the order of execution of the machine reservation confirmation process (first come first served), not “waiting to cancel”. There is no.

(II-6) Device reservation correction process The device reservation correction process is a process in which the reservation member operates the player terminal 90 during the correction reception time of the device reservation confirmation terminal 70 to cancel the model that has been “confirmed to cancel”. This is a process for checking whether or not a game has occurred, and when canceling has occurred, setting “cancel waiting for cancellation” to “final confirmation” to enable a game with that model.
Hereinafter, the table reservation correcting process will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the table reservation correction process executed in the game hall system 1 during the correction reception time of the table reservation confirmation terminal 70. FIG. 23 is an operation procedure diagram showing a flow of data transmitted and received between the player terminal (mobile phone) 90 and the table reservation management device 50.

The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 accesses a site established by the machine reservation management device 50 when a reserved member possessing the player terminal 90 operates the input means 94 (FIG. 23). Step 140).
The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 transmits the web page of the site to the accessing player terminal 90.
The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the web page, and the display means 93 displays the web page (web page display, step 141).
The input means 94 of the player terminal 90 inputs the “reserved member ID” according to the instruction on the web page by the operation of the reserved member. Then, the communication means 91 transmits the “reserved member ID” as a cancellation waiting collation request to the table reservation managing apparatus 50 (step 142).

The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the cancellation waiting collation request transmitted from the player terminal 90 (step 143).
The control means 55 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 determines whether or not the date and time when the cancellation waiting collation request is received is within the time during which the table reservation correction process can be accepted (step 130 in FIG. 22).
The time that can be accepted for the table reservation correction process is that a reserved member who sets “1. This is the time during which the machine reservation correction process can be executed. Specifically, for example, “15 to 30 minutes before opening” can be set.

  As a result of the determination, if the date and time when the cancellation waiting collation request is received is not an acceptable time for the table reservation correction process, the process waits until an acceptable time for the table reservation correction process is reached. In this case, it is possible to end the table reservation correction process so that the cancellation reservation cannot be corrected. Further, in this case, it is possible to display on the display means 93 of the player terminal 90 that it is not an acceptable time for the table reservation correction process.

On the other hand, when the date and time when the request for matching for waiting for cancellation is received is within the time when the table reservation correction process can be accepted, the control means 55 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 then refers to the reserved model determination database in the storage means 52, It is determined whether or not the “reserved member ID” received as the cancellation waiting collation request is registered in the reserved model confirmation database (reserved member collation, step 131 in FIG. 22, step 144 in FIG. 23).
As a result of the determination, if the “reserved member ID” is not registered in the reserved model determination database (No in step 131 in FIG. 22), the table reservation correcting process is terminated. In this case, the opportunity for inputting the “reserved member ID” by the same person can be executed a predetermined number of times.

On the other hand, when the “reserved member ID” is registered in the reserved model determination database, the control means 55 then refers to the reserved model determined database and stores the reserved model data including the “reserved member ID”. Extract all.
Next, the control means 55 determines whether or not there is reserved model data whose “cancel waiting” is “1” in the extracted reserved model data (whether or not waiting for cancellation) (step 132). .
As a result of the determination, if there is no reservation model data whose “cancel waiting confirmation” is “1” in the extracted reservation model data, the machine reservation correction process is terminated.
On the other hand, when there is reserved model data whose “cancel wait confirmation” is “1” in the extracted reserved model data, the control means 55 subsequently checks the “cancellation order” of the reserved model data, It is determined whether or not a cancel occurrence symbol is added to this “waiting for cancellation” (cancel ??, step 133).

As a result of the determination, when a cancel occurrence symbol is added to “cancellation waiting order” of reserved model data including “reserved member ID”, the control means 55 sets “1” of “reservation waiting confirmation” of the reserved model data. "Is changed to" 0 "(step 134 in FIG. 22 and step 145 in FIG. 23). Also, “0” of “final confirmation” of the reserved model data is changed to “1” (step 135 in FIG. 22 and step 146 in FIG. 23). Further, the order stored in the “cancellation order” of the reserved model data is deleted. As a result, “cancellation waiting confirmation” can be changed to “final confirmation”. In addition, with the deletion of the order stored in “Cancel Waiting Order”, “Cancellation Wait Order” for other reserved model data including “Reserved Model” that is the same as “Reserved Model” included in the reserved model data is added. fix.
On the other hand, when the cancel occurrence symbol is not added to the “order to cancel” of the reserved model data including the “reserved member ID”, the processes of steps 134 to 137 in FIG. 22 and steps 145 to 147 in FIG. 23 are not executed. .

When “0” of “final confirmation” in the reserved model data is changed to “1” in step 135, the control means 55 subsequently selects “1” as the “tentative provisional confirmation” in the extracted reserved model data. It is determined whether or not there is reserved model data "(step 136 in FIG. 22).
As a result of the determination, if there is reservation model data with “1” as the “tentative provisional confirmation” in the extracted reservation model data, “1” of “tentative provisional confirmation” of the reservation model data is “0”. (Deletion of “real reservation temporary confirmation”, step 137 in FIG. 22 and step 147 in FIG. 23). In addition, with the deletion of “main reservation provisional confirmation”, “cancellation order” of other reserved model data including the same “reserved model” as the “reserved model” included in the reserved model data is given again.
On the other hand, if there is no reserved model data with “1” as the “tentative provisional confirmation” in the extracted reserved model data, the “tentative provisional confirmation” of the reserved model data is not changed.

  Next, the communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 transmits the contents of the processing in Step 134, Step 135, Step 137 of FIG. 22 and Steps 145 to 147 of FIG. 23 to the player terminal 90 as the reservation result ( Step 148 in FIG. The communication means 91 of the player terminal 90 receives the reservation result (step 149). Then, the display means 93 displays the contents of the reservation result on the screen.

By executing the table reservation correction process in this manner, the reservation member can easily determine whether or not a cancellation has occurred in the model having the “cancel waiting confirmation” set to “1” using the player terminal 90. I can confirm. When cancellation has occurred, the “cancel waiting confirmation” is set to “final confirmation”, and a game can be played with that model. On the other hand, even when no cancellation has occurred, if “main reservation provisionally confirmed” is set to “1”, it is possible to play a game with the model for which “main reservation provisionally confirmed”.
In FIG. 23, the processing starts from the player terminal 90 accessing the table reservation management device 50 (step 140). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control means 55 of the table reservation management device 50 is used. Refers to the reserved model confirmation database, and emails to the mobile phone 90 that a cancellation has occurred for the reserved model data reservation member in which the cancel occurrence symbol is added to the “cancellation order” data. May be used to prompt access to the game store web page.

(II-63) Inter-vehicle machine-identification information allocation process This inter-reservation correction process includes an inter-machine machine-identification information allocation process that is executed after the acceptance time of the inter-reservation correction process ends.
This inter-machine-identification information assignment process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the procedure of the inter-vehicle machine / identification information assignment process executed by the machine reservation management device 50.

The control means 55 of the table reservation management apparatus 50 determines whether or not the acceptable time for the table reservation correction process has ended (step 150 in FIG. 24). For example, “5 minutes before opening” can be set at the end of the acceptable time for the table reservation correction process.
It should be noted that the time at which the table reservation correction process can be accepted ends and the time at which the machine-identification information assignment process is executed can be different. For example, the reception time for the table reservation correction process is set as “15 to 30 minutes before opening”, and the execution time of the machine-identification information allocation process is set as “5 minutes before opening”. be able to.

As a result of the determination, if the acceptable time for the table reservation correction process has not ended, the system waits until the acceptable time for the table reservation correction process ends.
On the other hand, when the acceptable time for the table reservation correction process is completed, the control means 55 creates a table machine-mobile phone ID assignment database (see FIG. 8) (step 151).
That is, the control means 55 refers to the reserved model determination database, and for each model, the reserved model data whose “final determination” is “1” and the reserved model data whose “main reservation provisional determination” is “1”. And confirms (extracts) the “mobile phone ID” of the corresponding reserved model data, associates the pedestal machine number of each model with the “mobile phone ID”, and creates a pedestrian-mobile phone ID assignment database. create.

Here, when there are a plurality of gaming machines 10 for one model, the extracted “mobile phone ID” is associated with each of the machine numbers of the machine 20 provided in the gaming machine 10. For example, in the case where there are five gaming machines 10 of the model “CR: aaa”, the extraction is performed when the machine number of the machine 20 attached to the gaming machine 10 is “001” to “005”. The “mobile phone ID” “5469752D” is associated with each of the inter-vehicle machine numbers “001” to “005”. In addition, the extracted “mobile phone IDs” “5981432G”, “3862486H”, “1954763J”, and “8426631S” are also associated with the machine numbers “001” to “005”. Therefore, the same number of “mobile phone IDs” as the number of gaming machines 10 belonging to one model at the maximum is associated with one inter-vehicle machine number. In other words, the same “mobile phone ID” is associated with a plurality of machine numbers belonging to one model.
The inter-machine-mobile phone ID assignment database created in this way is stored in the storage means 52.

(II-7) Stand Acceptance Processing The stand acceptance processing refers to processing executed when a game is played on a stand reserved by a reserved member who has entered the game store.
Hereinafter, the table receiving process will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the table receiving process executed in the game hall system 1. FIG. 26 is an operation procedure diagram showing a flow of data transmitted and received between the inter-machine 20 and the machine reservation management device 50 when executing the machine acceptance process.
The table reception process includes “a table reception process at the time of opening” that is executed within a predetermined time from the opening of the store and “table reception opening process” that is executed when a predetermined time has elapsed since the opening of the store. These will be described sequentially.

(II-71) Opening stand reception processing When the store is open, the store clerk gives priority to the reserved member who has received “1” in “final confirmation” or “1” in “provisional provisional confirmation”. Let them enter the store. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the opening time, other players are allowed to enter.
At this time, the reserved members who have received “1” of “Finalize” should be lined up at the entrance of the amusement store about 5 minutes before the opening of the store, and gradually enter the store at the opening time. From the viewpoint of accident prevention.
In addition, the store clerk at the amusement store gives a proof that the reservation member to be preferentially received has received “1” of “final confirmation” (reservation screen of mobile phone 90, reservation member card, etc.). There is no need to present it. Also, it is not necessary for the reservation member to present to the store clerk that he / she has received “1” of “definite” at the time of admission. This is because it is possible to determine whether or not the player sitting on the seat of the gaming machine 10 is a reserved member who has received “1” of “final confirmation” or the like by executing the table reception process described here. It is.

When the reserved member enters the amusement store, the reserved member sits on the seat of the reserved type gaming machine 10. Here, the reservation member makes a reservation (“1” of “final confirmation”, etc.) for a model (specific game machine corner) made up of a plurality of gaming machines 10, but the gaming machine 10 that actually plays the game. Is one gaming machine 10 selected from a plurality of gaming machines 10 belonging to the model. In addition, when the game room system 1 can reserve one gaming machine 10, when a reserved member makes a reservation (such as “1” of “determined”) for one gaming machine 10, the game Sit in the seat of machine 10.
The reserved member sitting in the seat holds the mobile phone 90 that he / she owns close to the ID reader 22 of the intermediary machine 20 provided in the gaming machine 10.
The ID reader 22 reads the “mobile phone ID” from the mobile phone held over (step 170 in FIG. 26). When the control unit 27 retrieves the “machine number” from the storage unit 26, the “cell phone ID” and the “table number” are used as a verification request via the communication unit 25. (Step 171).

The communication means 51 of the table reservation management device 50 receives the verification request (step 172 in FIG. 26, step 160 in FIG. 25). The control means 55 determines whether or not the intermediary machine 20 indicated by the “interval machine number” included in the received verification request is an intermediary machine with a reception time limit (step 161 in FIG. 25). ).
In the case where the gaming machine 10 is a new machine, the reception machine with a limited reception time means that the gaming machine 10 when the gaming start time of the gaming machine 10 is set to a time later than the opening time. This refers to the inter-machine 20 attached to the station.

As a result of the determination, when the intermediary machine 20 indicated by the “intermediary machine number” is a intermediary machine with a reception time restriction, the control means 55 then sets the time limit set for the intermission machine with the reception time restriction. (Step 162), and if the time limit has not elapsed, the table acceptance process is terminated.
On the other hand, when the time limit has elapsed, or when the intermediary machine 20 indicated by the “intermediary machine number” is not an intermediary machine with a reception time restriction, the control means 55 then proceeds to Reference is made to the mobile phone ID assignment database (step 163 in FIG. 25), and the “mobile phone ID” included in the received verification request becomes the “assigned mobile phone ID” in the inter-machine-mobile phone ID assignment database. It is determined whether or not it exists (collation, step 164 in FIG. 25, step 173 in FIG. 26).

As a result of the determination, when the “mobile phone ID” included in the received verification request does not exist in the “assigned mobile phone ID” in the inter-tablet machine-mobile phone ID assignment database (No in step 164 in FIG. 25). The table acceptance process is terminated. This is because the player sitting in the seat of the gaming machine 10 is a player who has not made a table reservation or a player who has not received “1” of “final confirmation” and the like. This is to prevent you from doing.
In this case, the control means 55 of the table reservation management device 50 transmits a verification result indicating that ball lending is not possible to the inter-machine 20 that has transmitted the verification request via the communication means 51 (step 174 in FIG. 26). ). The communication means 25 of the inter-vehicle machine 20 receives the collation result (step 175). Thereby, the intermediary machine 20 can be made not to lend a ball to the player.

On the other hand, when the “mobile phone ID” included in the received verification request exists in the “assigned mobile phone ID” of the inter-vehicle machine-mobile phone ID assignment database (Yes in step 164 in FIG. 25). Then, the control means 55 sends the “table machine” that has been transmitted as a collation request to the “table machine number” to which the “mobile phone ID” is assigned in the machine-cell phone ID assignment database. It is determined whether or not “number” exists.
As a result of the determination, if there is no “table machine number” transmitted as a verification request in the “table number” assigned with the “mobile phone ID”, the table reception process is terminated. This is because the player sitting in the seat of the gaming machine 10 is sitting in a gaming machine 10 other than the gaming machine 10 having “final confirmation” or “real reservation provisional confirmation” “1”. This is to prevent the game from being played.
In this case, the control unit 55 transmits a collation result indicating that ball lending is not possible to the intermediary machine 20 that has transmitted the collation request via the communication unit 51 (step 174 in FIG. 26). Upon receiving the collation result (step 175), the intermediary machine 20 can prevent the player from lending the ball.

  On the other hand, when the “table machine number” transmitted as a verification request exists in the “table machine number” to which the “mobile phone ID” is assigned, the control means 55 From the “assigned mobile phone ID” associated with the “number”, the “mobile phone ID” other than the “mobile phone ID” transmitted as the verification request is deleted (step 165 in FIG. 25).

For example, as shown in FIG. 27, it is assumed that “the machine number: 001” and “the mobile phone ID: 5469752D” are transmitted from the machine 20 to the machine reservation management device 50 as a verification request. To do. The control means 55 refers to the inter-vehicle machine-cell phone ID assignment database and searches for “inter-machine number: 001”. Then, from the “assigned mobile phone ID” associated with the hit (extracted machine number: 001), the “mobile phone ID” other than the “mobile phone ID: 5469752D” transmitted as the verification request. Certain "5981432G", "3862486H", "1954763J", and "8426631S" are deleted. This ensures that the reserved member having the “mobile phone ID: 5469752D” can play the game on the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the platform machine 20 with the “table machine number: 001”, and other players can play the game machine. 10 is not allowed to play. This is also for preventing other reserved members who have reserved the same “model: CR: aaa” from being played by a plurality of gaming machines 10 of the same model.
In FIG. 27, “mobile phone ID: 5469752D” is not deleted from “assigned mobile phone ID” associated with “between machine number: 001”, but this is not restrictive. “Mobile phone ID: 5469752D” can also be deleted.

Further, the control means 55 refers to the inter-machine-cell phone ID assignment database, searches for the model to which the inter-machine 20 of the “inter-machine number” transmitted as the verification request belongs, and hits (extracts). The “mobile phone ID” transmitted as the collation request is deleted from the “assigned mobile phone ID” associated with the “bed machine number” of the other machine 20 belonging to the model (step 165 in FIG. 25). ).
For example, as shown in FIG. 27, it is assumed that “the machine number: 001” and “the mobile phone ID: 5469752D” are transmitted from the machine 20 to the machine reservation management device 50 as a verification request. To do. The control means 55 refers to the inter-vehicle machine-cell phone ID assignment database and searches for the model to which “inter-machine number: 001” belongs. Then, the “assigned mobile phone ID” associated with “the machine number: 002” to “the machine number: 005” of the other machine 20 belonging to the hit (extracted) “model: CR: aaa” "Mobile phone ID: 5469752D" transmitted as a verification request is deleted. This is to prevent a reserved member having “mobile phone ID: 5469752D” from playing the game machine 10 other than the game machine 10 corresponding to the machine 20 corresponding to the machine number “001”.

And the control means 55 transmits the collation result which shows releasing the ball lending to the reservation member with respect to the machine 20 which has transmitted the collation request | requirement via the communication means 51 ( Step 166 in FIG. 25 and Step 174 in FIG. 26). The communication means 21 of the inter-vehicle machine 20 receives the collation result (step 175). Thereby, the inter-machine 20 can lend a ball to the reserved member.
Note that a reserved member whose “mobile phone ID” is “3981432G” has “actually confirmed” the model “CR: aaa”, and the gaming machine with the “daining machine number: 002” is also provided. When the mobile phone 90 is held over the 10 seats and the mobile phone 90 is held over the ID reader 22 of the intermediary machine 20, the above-described stand reception processing performed for the reserved member whose “mobile phone ID” is “5469752D” Similar processing is executed.

(II-72) Stand acceptance opening process After a predetermined time has elapsed from the opening time, a stand acceptance opening process is executed. This table reception opening process will be described with reference to FIG.

The control means 55 of the table reservation management device 50 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the opening of the store (step 180).
If the predetermined time has not elapsed as a result of the determination, the process waits until the predetermined time elapses.
On the other hand, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the control means 55 then determines whether or not the interstage machine 20 is the intermediary machine 20 with a limited reception time (whether it is a new machine) (step 181). .
As a result of the determination, if it is a pedestrian with a reception time limit, it is then determined whether or not the time limit has elapsed (step 182).
If the time limit has not elapsed as a result of the determination, the table acceptance process is terminated.
On the other hand, when the time limit has elapsed, or when it is not a reception machine with a reception time restriction, the control means 55 issues a ball lending release request indicating release (permission) of lending to all the machine 20. Transmit (step 183). All the intermediary machines 20 that have received this ball lending cancellation request cancel the ball lending. As a result, all the gaming machines 10 are opened to the player who has not made a table reservation.

By executing such a table reception opening process, even if the gaming machine 10 has a table reservation, it is opened after a predetermined time has elapsed since the opening of the store, and all players can play a game. Can do.
In the present embodiment, the time for executing the table acceptance opening process (predetermined time from the opening) is set in advance in the table reservation management device 50, and the table reception opening process is automatically executed when this time is reached. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, at the time when the entry of the reserved member is completed, the store clerk of the amusement shop operates the input means 54 of the table reservation management device 50, and this operation performs the table acceptance release process. It may be executed to release all gaming machines 10 and allow general players to enter. In this case, it is possible not to set the time for executing the table acceptance release process in the table reservation management device 50. Further, when the time for executing the table reception opening process can be set, when the store clerk operates the table reservation management device 50 before this time is reached, the table reception opening process is executed at the time of this operation.
