Description

The present invention manages the number of game media acquired as the number of game media acquired by a game machine in each device attached to the game machine and stores the number of game media deposited in the game store as a member of the game store. The present invention relates to a game medium management device, a game medium management method , a game medium management program, and a game medium management system that are managed in association with recording medium identification information of a member recording medium possessed by a registered member. When a member's game media is automatically transferred to a stored game medium according to the operation, even if the member's number of game media cannot be determined due to a communication failure, etc., the member will visit the amusement store the following day or later. The present invention relates to a game medium management device, a game medium management method , a game medium management program, and a game medium management system that enable a smooth game when played.

  Conventionally, pachinko parlors that provide pachinko games are counted by pachinko balls that have been acquired at the gaming machine using the inter-card card processing machine attached to the gaming machine, and the number of pachinko balls that have been counted can be replayed. Each of the counter counting systems is known (see Patent Document 1). By using such a counter counting system, it is possible to reduce the labor of a game shop clerk counting pachinko balls with an island edge counter, and to move a gaming machine table without the player having to bring pachinko balls. It becomes possible.

  However, the expiration date of the number of possessed balls counted by each of the above-mentioned counter counting systems is normally limited to that day regardless of whether the member is registered as a member of a game shop or a general player. For this reason, the member and the general player need to exchange prizes at a prize exchange counter or the like or shift to a storage ball before leaving the store after the game. If the player does not perform the process of exchanging the coins for prizes or the process of shifting to a stored ball, the player suffers the disadvantage of losing the coins.

  In order to eliminate such disadvantages of the player, Patent Document 2 discloses a technology configured to automatically transfer a member's possession ball to a storage ball during a game store closing process. According to this patent document 2, even if the member leaves the store in a state where he / she has the ball, the disadvantage that the member loses the ball can be avoided.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a game medium management device, a game medium management method , a game medium management program, and a game medium management system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the embodiment described below, the case where the card management device manages the possession balls and the case where the stored ball is managed by the member management device will be mainly described.

  First, the concept of the game medium management system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the concept of the game medium management system according to the present embodiment. The game media management system shown in FIG. 1 is a system for managing the number of balls of members and general customers who are registered as members in the game store with the card management device 40 and managing the number of stored members of the members with the member management device 50. .

  Here, the number of possessed balls means the number of balls acquired by the player with the inter-card card processing machine 10 having the function of each counter, and the player regains the number of possessed balls as needed. You can use it and exchange prizes. An expiration date is set for this number of balls, and it is usually limited to the current day. For this reason, if the player does not perform a prize exchange process for the number of balls, the number of balls will be lost in principle. However, if the player is a member, The number of holding balls is automatically transferred to the number of stored balls.

  On the other hand, the number of stored balls means the number of balls deposited by the member at the game store, and the member can replay the number of stored balls into the game and exchange prizes as necessary. Unlike the above-mentioned number of balls, the expiration date is not set. For this reason, unlike the above-mentioned number of possessed balls, the member can exchange or replay the number of stored balls at any time.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when a game store closing process operation is performed, this gaming media management system automatically converts the number of balls managed by the card management device 40 into the number of stored balls managed by the member management device 50. Perform the migration process. The automatic transition of the number of possessed balls to the number of stored balls during the closing process is a conventional technique as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-17348.

  However, the above prior art requires that the number of possessed balls be determined during the closing process, and if the number of retained balls is not confirmed due to a communication failure or the like, the number of retained balls is automatically transferred to the number of stored balls. I can't. For example, if the order in which the store closing process is performed is wrong or the member management device 50 is turned off before the card management device 40, the number of possessed balls cannot be automatically transferred to the number of stored balls. If the connection status of all the devices in the amusement store (the inter-card card processing machine 10, the island edge counter 60, the checkout machine 70, and the prize management device 80) cannot be confirmed during the closing process, each member's final The number of holding balls cannot be determined. Furthermore, when the card management device 40 fails during the game store business hours and is operated offline, if the card management device 40 does not recover by the closing time, the number of possessed balls is automatically transferred to the number of stored balls. Result that can not.

  Therefore, according to the prior art, when a member visits the store on the next day or later, the store clerk at the amusement store must manually transfer the number of balls to the number of stored balls while referring to the error log etc. Cost. In addition, there is a problem that the member cannot play a game until the transition process by the store clerk is completed.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to solve the above problem, when a member visits an amusement store on the following day and inserts a membership card into the inter-card processing machine 10, the number of possessions of the member at that time is calculated. It is configured to automatically shift to the number of stored balls.

  Upon receiving this notification, the card management device 40 (2) updates the number of possessed balls managed by the member card management table 40f with the number of possessed balls recorded on the membership card as positive. Here, a situation is shown in which the number of balls of the member with the card ID “00001” is updated from “1000 balls” to “300 balls”. The reason why the number of possessed balls recorded on the membership card is positive is that the number of retained balls is always correctly written on the card during offline operation. It should be noted that a countermeasure against fraud that illegally alters the number of possessions recorded on the membership card is taken separately. Further, if the card is off-line or the like, the “card correct” information may be recorded on the card when the card on which the ball is recorded is ejected.

  Thereafter, (3) the card management device 40 transmits the card ID and the updated number of balls to the member management device 50 and requests automatic transfer of the number of balls. (4) When the member management device 50 receives the card ID and the updated number of balls, the storage management table 50e is updated using this data. Here, the number of stored balls of the card ID “00001” is increased from “500 balls” to “800 balls”.

  By performing the above-described series of processing, the member can grasp that the number of possessed balls has been automatically transferred to the number of accumulated balls when visiting the store on the next day or later, so that manual operation by the store clerk is not required. In addition, the player can start playing the game immediately after coming to the store.

FIG. 6A is a diagram illustrating an example of the general card management table 40e, and FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an example of the member card management table 40f. The general card management table 40e shown in FIG. 6A stores a card ID, a prepaid value, the number of balls, and the last update date. Here, the card ID “10001” is associated with the prepaid value “0”, the number of possessed balls “0”, and the last update date “September 1”, and the card ID “10002” is associated with the prepaid value “0”. The number of balls “500” and the last update date “September 1” are associated, and the card ID “10003” is associated with the prepaid value “1000”, the number of balls “3000”, and the last update date “September 1”. Shows the situation.

  In the member card management table 40f shown in FIG. 6B, a card ID, a prepaid value, the number of holding balls, the number of holding balls for automatic storage balls, an automatic storage ball completion flag, and a last update date are stored. Here, the card ID “00001” is associated with the prepaid value “0”, the number of possessions “1000”, and the last update date “September 1”, and the card ID “00002” is associated with the prepaid value “1000”. The number of balls “500” and the last update date “September 1” are associated, and the card ID “00003” is associated with the prepaid value “3000”, the number of balls “1000”, and the last update date “September 1”. Shows the situation. In the card ID, the number of balls to be automatically stored and the automatic storage completion flag are not set.

  Here, the number of balls that are subject to automatic storage means the number of balls that could not be automatically stored by the store closing process described later. When a player inserts a membership card on or after the next day, the number of possession balls subject to automatic storage is updated as necessary, and if the automatic storage ball completion flag is "unprocessed" Numbers are automatically migrated. The automatic storage ball completion flag is a flag indicating whether or not the automatic storage ball can be executed by the closing process described later. When the automatic storage ball can be executed, “processed” is set and the automatic storage ball cannot be executed. Is set to “unprocessed”.

  For example, when the automatic transfer can be executed by the closing process, the prepaid value “0”, the number of possessed balls “0”, the number of retained balls “0”, the automatic storage ball completion flag “processing” for the card ID “00001”. Completed "and last updated date" September 1 ". On the other hand, if the automatic transfer cannot be executed due to the closing process, the prepaid value “0”, the number of possessed balls “0”, the number of retained balls “1000”, the automatic storage ball completion flag “ “Unprocessed” and last updated date “September 1”.

  The control unit 40g is a control unit that totally controls the card management device 40, and includes a card information management unit 40h, a store closing processing unit 40i, and an automatic transition processing unit 40j. The card information management unit 40h manages the number of possessed balls and the prepaid value of each card using the general card management table 40e and the member card management table 40f stored in the storage unit 40d.

  The closing processing unit 40i is a processing unit that performs a process of determining the number of balls corresponding to the card ID of the member card when a predetermined closing processing operation is performed. Note that the determined number of held balls is automatically transferred to the number of stored balls by the automatic transfer processing unit 40j. Specifically, when this confirmation process is performed, the card use data 10e is sent to the inter-card card processing machine 10, the island edge counter 60, the settlement machine 70, the prize management device 80, etc. disposed in the amusement store. And the card usage data 10e is collected, and the number of balls with the latest return time is determined as the final number of balls. In addition, when it is not possible to communicate with all the devices arranged in the game store, it is determined that the final number of possessed balls cannot be determined.

  The automatic transfer processing unit 40j is a processing unit that automatically transfers the determined number of balls to the number of stored balls when the final number of balls in the membership card is determined by the closing processing unit 40i. Specifically, the number of balls held in the member card management table 40f is transmitted to the member management device 50 to request a shift to the storage ball, and the automatic storage ball completion flag of the member card management table 40f is set to “processed”. . On the other hand, if the number of possessed balls cannot be determined, the number of retained balls in the member card management table 40f is shifted to the number of retained balls subject to automatic storage, and the automatic storage completion flag is set to “unprocessed”.

  Further, when the automatic transfer processing unit 40j receives the card ID of the membership card from the inter-card processing machine 10 on the next day or later, when the automatic storage ball completion flag corresponding to the card ID is “unprocessed” Then, the inter-card card processing machine 10 is requested for the number of holding balls corresponding to the card ID. If the number of possessed balls received from the inter-card processing machine 10 does not match the number of retained balls subject to automatic storage, the received number of retained balls is regarded as correct, and the number of retained balls is overwritten on the number of automatically retained balls. Thereafter, the number of balls to be automatically stored is sent to the member management device 50 to request the shift to the stored ball, and the automatic storage ball completion flag of the member card management table 40f is set to “processed”.

  Next, the member management apparatus 50 includes an input unit 50a, a display unit 50b, a communication I / F unit 50c, a storage unit 50d, and a control unit 50f.

  The storage unit 50d stores a stored ball management table 50e that stores the number of stored balls deposited by members at the game store. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing an example of the stored ball management table 50e. The stored ball management table 50e shown in FIG. 5 stores a card ID, the number of stored balls, and the like. Here, a situation is shown in which the number of stored balls of the card ID “00001” is “500”.

  The control unit 50f is a control unit that controls the entire member management apparatus 50, and includes a storage management unit 50g. The storage management unit 50g manages the number of storages of each member card using the storage management table 50e stored in the storage unit 50d. When receiving the number of possessed balls from the card management device 40, the storage ball managing unit 50g performs a process of adding the number of retained balls to the number of stored balls. In addition, although the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here for convenience of explanation, when the replay request of the stored ball including the card ID is received from the inter-card processor 10 or the like, the predetermined number of stored balls corresponding to this card ID While subtracting the number (for example, 125 balls), the storage card throwing instruction is given to the inter-card processing machine 10. Further, when a request for adding a storage ball including a card ID is received from a prize management device or the like, the received number of balls is added to the number of stored balls corresponding to the card ID.

  Next, a processing procedure when the card is returned by the inter-card card processing machine 10 and the card management device 40 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the card is returned by the inter-card processing machine 10 and the card management device 40 shown in FIG. Here, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that a ball is associated with the card 1.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the player presses down the card return button 21a and the inter-card card processing machine 10 accepts the card return operation (step S101), the inter-card card processing machine 10 uses the card management device. It is determined whether it is online with 40 (step S102). If it is online with the card management device 40 (step S102: Yes), the card data is transmitted to the card management device 40 (step S103). This card data includes a card ID, a prepaid value, and the number of possessed balls.

  If this card data is received (step S104: Yes), the card management apparatus 40 determines whether it is a membership card (step S105). For example, when the highest value of the card ID is “1”, it is determined as a general card, and when it is “0”, it can be determined as a membership card. And when it determines with it being a membership card (step S105: Yes), the prepaid value of the membership card management table 40f, the number of possessions, and the last update date are updated (step S106), and it determines with it not being a membership card. In this case (step S105: No), the prepaid value, the number of balls, and the last update date of the general card management table 40e are updated (step S107), and the completion of the table update is notified to the inter-card card processor 10 ( Step S108).

  If the inter-card card processor 10 receives the table update completion notification (step S109: Yes), the card data is written to the card (step S111), and the card is returned (step S112).

  If it is determined in step S102 that it is not online (step S102: No), the card data is stored in the storage unit 10c as the card use data 10e (step S110), and then the card data is written to the card (step S110). S111), the card is returned (step S112). At that time, “card correct” information may be written on the card.

  By performing the above-described series of processing, the card data can be stored as the card usage data 10e inside the apparatus when the space between the inter-card card processor 10 and the card management apparatus 40 is offline. When performing the determination process of the number of possessions at the time, the card use data 10e can be notified to the card management device 40.

  Next, a processing procedure at the time of closing operation by the card management device 40 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure at the time of closing operation by the card management device 40 shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, if the card management device 40 accepts a store closing process operation (step S201), a determination process of the number of balls is performed (step S202). Specifically, the card usage data 10e is requested by requesting the card usage data 10e from the inter-card card processing machine 10, the island edge counter 60, the settlement machine 70, the prize management device 80, etc. disposed in the amusement store. Collect and determine the number of balls with the latest return time as the final number of balls. In addition, when it is not possible to communicate with all the devices arranged in the game store, it is determined that the final number of possessed balls cannot be determined.

  As a result, when it is determined that the number of possessed balls has been determined (step S203: Yes), as described later, a storage transition process for automatically transitioning the number of retained balls to the number of stored balls is performed (step S204), and the membership card management table The automatic storage ball completion flag of 40f is set to “processed” (step S205). On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of possessed balls cannot be determined (step S203: No), the number of retained balls in the member card management table 40f is moved to the number of retained balls subject to automatic storage (step S206), and then the member. The automatic storage completion flag in the card management table 40f is set to “unprocessed” (step S207).

  The above-described series of processing is repeated until all card IDs in the member card management table 40f are processed (step S208: No). When processing of all card IDs is completed (step S208: No), the processing ends.

  When the number of possessed balls can be determined by performing the above-described series of processing, the stored ball transfer processing is performed and the automatic storage ball completion flag of the member card management table 40f is set to “processed”. If it cannot be determined, the number of balls in the membership card management table 40f can be moved to the number of balls to be automatically stored and the automatic storage completion flag can be set to “unprocessed”. When the power of the member management apparatus 50 is turned off, the automatic storage ball completion flag is set to “not yet” at the time when the member management apparatus 50 is turned on next time or at a predetermined time after the power is turned on. Processing ". In addition, when a communication abnormality occurs between the member management device 50 and the card management device 40, automatic storage is completed when the communication abnormality is detected, when the communication abnormality is recovered, or at a predetermined time after the communication abnormality is recovered. The flag can be “unprocessed”. Further, when the member management apparatus 50 has a device abnormality, the automatic storage ball completion flag can be set to “unprocessed” when the device abnormality is repaired or at a predetermined time after the repair.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a storage transfer processing procedure during the closing process shown in step S204 of FIG. As shown in the figure, the card management device 40 transmits the card ID and the number of possessions to the member management device 50 (step S301). When the member management device 50 receives the card ID and the number of possessed balls (step S302: Yes), after adding the number of retained balls to the number of stored balls corresponding to the card ID of the stored ball management table 50e (step S303), the card A completion notification is sent to the management apparatus 40 (step S304). On the other hand, when the card management device 40 receives the completion notification from the member management device 50 (step S305: Yes), the card management device 40 clears the number of balls in the member card management table 40f (step S306) and ends the processing.

  Next, description will be given of the storage transfer process procedure when a membership card is inserted into the inter-card card processing machine 10 shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the storage transfer processing procedure when a membership card is inserted into the inter-card card processing machine 10 shown in FIG. Here, for convenience of explanation, explanation when a general card is accepted is omitted.

  As shown in the figure, if the inter-card card processing machine 10 accepts the membership card (step S401), the card data (including card ID, prepaid value and number of balls) stored in the membership card is read. (Step S402) The read card ID is transmitted to the card management device 40 (Step S403).

  When the card management device 40 receives the card ID of the membership card (step S404), the card management device 40 reads the automatic storage ball completion flag of the membership card management table 40f corresponding to the received card ID (step S405). When the automatic storage ball completion flag is “unprocessed” (step S406: Yes), it is determined whether the management date (the last update date of the card ID) is before the previous day (step S407). As a result, when the management date is before the previous day (step S407: Yes), the number-of-balls request data is transmitted to the inter-card card processing machine 10 (step S408).

  If the inter-card processing machine 10 receives the number-of-balls request data from the card management device 40 (step S409: Yes), it transmits the number of balls read from the membership card to the card management device 40 (step S409). S410).

  When the card management device 40 receives the number of possessed balls from the inter-card processing machine 10 (step S411: Yes), the received number of retained balls matches the number of automatically stored ball target possessed balls stored in the member card management table 40f. It is determined whether or not to perform (step S412). If the number of possessed balls does not match the number of retained balls subject to automatic storage (step S412: No), it is assumed that the received number of retained balls is correct (even if the card has “card correct”), and this The number of balls to be automatically stored is updated by the number (step S413). If the number of possessed balls matches the number of retained balls subject to automatic storage (Yes in step S412), the process proceeds directly to step S414 without updating the number of retained balls subject to automatic storage.

  Thereafter, the card management device 40 performs a savings ball transfer process for shifting the number of owned balls subject to automatic storage to the number of saved balls (step S414), clears the number of owned balls subject to automatic saving to “0” (step S415), and automatically The accumulated ball completion flag is updated to “processed” (step S416), and the number of balls is notified to the inter-card processing machine 10 (step S417). In this case, the number of possessed balls is “0” because the storage ball transfer process is executed. Note that the automatic storage ball completion flag can be blank instead of “processed”. Moreover, about the said storage ball transfer process, it becomes the process similar to the process shown in FIG.

  If the automatic storage ball completion flag is not “unprocessed” in step S406 (step S406: No), it means that the storage ball transfer process has already been completed in the store closing process, and the process proceeds to step S417 as it is. Similarly, in the above step S407, if the management date is not before the previous day (step S407: No), it means that the current day is the current day, so that the process proceeds to step S417 as it is.

  When the inter-card processing machine 10 receives the number of balls (step S418: Yes), the number of balls is stored as the number of balls 10d in the storage unit 10c (step S419), and this number of balls is stored. The number of balls is displayed on the number display section 18a (step S420). When the storage ball transfer process is normally completed, the number of balls displayed on the number of balls display section 18a is “0”.

  By performing the above-described series of processing, even when the number of possessed balls cannot be automatically transferred to the number of stored balls in accordance with the closing process operation, at the time when the membership card is inserted into the inter-card processing machine 10 after the next day, Since the number of balls held by this membership card can be automatically transferred to the number of stored balls, the player can play a game immediately using the number of stored balls.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the automatic transfer to the storage ball of the holding ball accompanying the store closing process is not possible, “unprocessed” is set in the automatic storage ball completion flag in the membership card management table 40f, If the membership card is inserted into the inter-card processing machine 10 on the next day or later and the automatic storage completion flag of this membership card is “unprocessed”, the number of balls stored in the membership card is regarded as correct. Since it has been configured to automatically shift the number of balls to the number of stored balls, it is possible to eliminate the operation of shifting the number of held balls to the number of stored balls manually by a store clerk at an amusement store, thereby reducing human labor. In addition, a player who comes to the store on the next day or later can play a game immediately without waiting for the manual transfer operation of the stored balls.

  In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the storage ball transfer process at the time of the closing process is targeted is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, the storage ball transfer process at the time when the day after the closing crosses, It is also possible to target the storage ball transfer process during the store opening process.

  Moreover, in the said Example, when the storage ball transfer process at the time of a store closing process cannot be performed, it was decided to move the number of balls of the member card management table 40f to the number of balls to be automatically stored, but the present invention is limited to this. However, it is also possible to configure such that the number of possessed balls itself is the target for automatic storage, and the number of retained balls is not provided.

  Moreover, although the case where the card management device 40 and the member management device 50 are separate devices is shown in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the card management device 40 and the member management device 50 are integrated. It can also be applied when

As described above, the game medium management device, the game medium management method , the game medium management program, and the game medium management system according to the present invention automatically transfer the member's game media to the game media in accordance with the store closing processing operation of the game store. Even when the number of game media for a member cannot be determined due to communication failure, etc., when the transition is made, it is suitable for allowing smooth play when the member visits the amusement store on the next day or later. Yes.
