  Next, the main process executed by the transaction terminal 50 in the transaction system of the present embodiment configured as described above and the offline determination process that is periodically interrupted to the main process will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, in the main process executed by the transaction terminal 50, first, the MPU 51 selects the display screen of the display unit 54 shown in FIG. 23 for the service agent and the player to start a transaction. "Service start" to be executed, "service end" selected for the service provider to end today's business, and various settings in the transaction terminal 50 and "refund" to be described later are selected. “Maintenance”, “transaction log” selected to display the history of transactions performed at the transaction terminal 50, and selection to display the sales of today's transaction performed at the transaction terminal 50 In the main menu screen on which “daily” selected and “monthly” selected to display the sales of the current month's transactions performed on the transaction terminal 50 are displayed, Was Start selected It determines (step S11).

  If “start business” is selected on the main menu screen (step S11; Yes), a product acceptance process for providing food and drink desired by the player in exchange for the player's possession or storage ball is executed. (Step S12) When “Start business” is not selected on the main menu screen (Step S11; No), “Maintenance” is selected on the main menu screen shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not “Refund” is selected on the screen (step S13). When “maintenance” is selected on the main menu screen and “refund” is selected on the maintenance menu screen (not shown) (step S13; Yes), the player can hold the ball in the product acceptance process (step S12). When a product cancellation process is performed in order to return or cancel (cancel) food and drinks in exchange for storage balls (step S14), and "refund" is not selected (step S13; No), on the main menu screen, It is determined whether or not “end of business” has been selected (step S15). When “end of business” is selected on the main menu screen (step S15; Yes), a business end process for ending the current day's business is executed (step S16), and “end of business” is displayed on the main menu screen. If it is not selected (step S15; No), other processing corresponding to the selected menu is executed.

Each offline determination process shown in FIG. 14, for connection between the transactions for the end end 50 and lifting ball management server 110 or the member management server 120 to determine whether the off-line, the MPU 51, a predetermined time has elapsed This process is executed by interrupting the main process. In this offline determination process, first, the MPU 51 transmits a predetermined signal to the possession management server 110 and the member management server 120 and receives a predetermined reply signal from the possession management server 110 and the member management server 120 within a predetermined time. By determining whether or not, it is determined whether or not at least one of the possession management server 110 or the member management server 120 is offline (step S21). At least one of the possession management server 110 or the member management server 120 is offline (step S21; Yes), that is, a reply signal from one of the possession management server 110 or the member management server 120 has not been received within a predetermined time. If the reply signal from both the possession management server 110 and the member management server 120 is not received within a predetermined time, a disconnection flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM (step S22). Then, as shown in FIG. 31, the display screen of the display unit 54 is in an offline state in which communication terminal 50 and at least one of current possession management server 110 and member management server 120 cannot communicate with each other. Display to the effect. Then, by displaying an option indicating whether or not to continue operation of the transaction terminal 50 in the offline state along with a display indicating that the transaction terminal 50 is in the offline state, it is possible to accept whether the transaction terminal 50 is to be continuously operated or not. It performs (step S24).

  After displaying the option of whether or not to continue the operation of the transaction terminal 50 in the offline state, the execution of the operation of the transaction terminal 50 in the offline state is accepted (selected) (step S25; If yes, the offline determination process is terminated, and when non-execution of operation continuation of the transaction terminal 50 in the offline state is accepted (selected) (step S25; No), it is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM. Set the operation prohibition flag and end the offline determination process.

  On the other hand, both the possession management server 110 and the member management server 120 are online (step S21; No), that is, reply signals from both the possession management server 110 and the member management server 120 are received within a predetermined time. In this case, it is determined whether or not the cutting flag is set by referring to a predetermined area of the RAM (step S27). When the disconnection flag is set (step S27; Yes), after clearing the disconnection flag (step S28), it is determined whether or not the operation prohibition flag is set by referring to a predetermined area of the RAM (step S28). S29) On the other hand, when the disconnection flag is not set (step S27; No), the offline determination process is terminated. If the operation prohibition flag is set in step S29 (step S29; Yes), the operation prohibition flag is cleared (step S30), and then the transmitted flag is set to “00” by referring to the terminal transaction table. That is, the card ID, the transaction time, the product ID, the quantity, the ball rate, and the number of balls that are stored in association with the receipt number that is “unsent” are specified, and these are not sent to the holding ball management server 110. An update request for reflecting the received receipt number, card ID, transaction time, product ID, quantity, ball rate, and number of balls as a transaction history in the own ball management table and the history management table is transmitted (step S31). , The transaction history stored in association with the receipt number “not yet transmitted” is transmitted to the possession management server 110. On the other hand, when the operation prohibition flag is not set (step S29; No), the offline determination process ends.

  Then, a terminal transaction table such as card ID, transaction time, product ID, quantity, ball rate, number of balls, etc. stored in association with the receipt number that is “unsent” with respect to the possession management server 110 Send the data and finish the offline determination process.

  Next, processing that is performed among the transaction terminal 50, the possession management server 110, and the member management server 120 when the product acceptance process is executed at the transaction terminal 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 18.

  First, in the transaction terminal 50, when the product acceptance process is started, a member card or a visitor card V is inserted into the card reader / writer 57 by a player or a service provider (step S101). At this time, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the operation prohibition flag is set with reference to a predetermined area of the RAM (step S102). When the operation prohibition flag is set (step S102; Yes), the card inserted from the card reader / writer 57 is ejected (step S104). When the operation prohibition flag is not set (step S102; No) From the card inserted by the card reader / writer 57, if it is a member card, the member ID, card ID, prepaid balance, number of balls per ball rate, if it is a visitor card V, card ID, prepaid balance, each ball rate The number of holding balls for each is read (step S103). At this time, a predetermined area of the RAM is further referred to and it is determined whether or not the disconnection flag is set (step S105). When the disconnection flag is set (step S105; Yes), the process proceeds to step S106. When the disconnection flag is not set (step S105; No), the MPU 51 performs step S103 with respect to the possession management server 110. The number-of-balls request including the card ID read in is transmitted (step S108).

  When the CPU 112 of the possession management server 110 receives the number-of-balls request from the transaction terminal 50, first, it is determined whether or not the card ID included in the received number-of-balls request is the card ID of the membership card. Then, it is determined whether the first two characters of the card ID are “KC” indicating the card ID of the membership card or “VC” indicating the card ID of the visitor card V (step Sm301). When the card ID included in the received number-of-balls request is the card ID of the visitor card V (step Sm301; No), the CPU 112 has received from the visitor's own ball management table shown in FIG. The number of balls for each ball rate stored in association with the card ID included in the number-of-balls request is specified (step Sm302), and the number of balls for the specified number of balls is stored. A reply is made to the transaction terminal 50 (step Sm303).

  In addition, when the card ID included in the received number-of-balls request is the card ID of the member card (step Sm301; Yes), the received ball-ball is received from the ball-ball management table for members shown in FIG. The number of balls for each ball rate stored in association with the card ID included in the number request is specified (step Sm304), and the number of balls in the number of balls for each specified ball rate is used for trading. A reply is made to the terminal 50 (step Sm305).

  The MPU 51 after executing Step S108 determines whether or not the card read in Step S103 is a membership card, that is, whether the first two characters of the card ID are “KC” indicating the card ID of the membership card, or a visitor card It is determined whether it is “VC” indicating the card ID of V (step S109). When the card read in step S103 is the visitor card V (step S109; No), the process proceeds to step S110, and when the card read in step S103 is a member card (step S109; Yes), the member management server 120. In response to this, a request for the number of stored balls including the member ID read in step S103 is transmitted.

  When the CPU 122 of the member management server 120 receives the storage ball request from the transaction terminal 50, it is stored in association with the member ID included in the received storage ball number request from the storage ball management table shown in FIG. The number of balls stored for each ball rate is specified (step Sk501), and the number of balls stored for the specified ball rate is transmitted to the transaction terminal 50 (step Sk502).

  And in step S110, based on the number-of-balls data received from the ball-management server 110 and the number-of-balls data received from the member management server 120 when the card read in step S103 is a membership card, As shown in FIG. 24, the MPU 51 displays the number of balls and the number of balls for each ball rate on the display screen of the display unit 54 (step S110), and the ball rate of the balls and balls used for the transaction with the player. Is selected by operating the touch panel 52 (step S111). After accepting the selection of the ball rate, a payment method selection for selecting whether to pay for the transaction is performed by operating the touch panel 52 (step S112). It is determined whether or not it has been selected (step S113). When the possession ball is selected as the payment method (step S113; Yes), a menu screen of food and drink is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 54 as shown in FIG. 25 (step S114), and the service agent is sent from the player. By operating the touch panel 52 according to the order, it is possible to accept the player's order.

  In this state, when the service provider operates the touch panel 52, a product order receiving process for accepting food and drink orders from the player is executed (step S115), and the display screen of the display unit 54 is displayed as shown in FIG. The display is switched to an input screen for inputting the food and drink and the number of the food and drink in accordance with the player's order. By operating this input screen, the food and drink ordered by the player is input. In this merchandise ordering process, the MPU 51 uses the number of balls based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110 and the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink input by operating the input screen. The total sales unit price (the number of balls) determined is compared, and the sales unit price determined at the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink input by the operation on the input screen ( When the total number of balls) is larger than the number of balls based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110, the product order processing is stopped and the number of balls received from the ball management server 110. An error display indicating that the number of holding balls based on is insufficient is displayed on the display screen. After the product order processing, the MPU 51 calculates the sum of the sales unit price (number of balls) determined at the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink input in the current transaction (product order processing in step S115). The receipt number of the receipt R issued (printed) by the receipt printer 59 in step S125 to be described later is added and updated to the total number of used balls stored in association with the ball rate shown in FIG. 4 (step S116). In association with the card ID read in step S103, the transaction time for executing the current transaction (product order processing in step S115), the food and drink received from the player in the current transaction (product order processing in step S115) ( Merchandise ID and quantity, the ball rate, the number of balls that are the sales unit price of each food and drink, and the transmitted flag “01” are newly added to the terminal transaction table. It is stored in the Le (step S117). At this time, the receipt number described in the receipt R is determined by the MPU 51 specifying the latest receipt number stored in the terminal transaction table by referring to the terminal transaction table. (Consecutive) numbers following are determined.

  After executing step S117, the MPU 51 determines whether or not the card read in step S103 is a member card, that is, whether the first two characters of the card ID are “KC” indicating the card ID of the member card, or visitor card V It is determined whether it is “VC” indicating the card ID (step S120). If the card read in step S103 is a membership card (step S120; Yes), the number of balls and the current transaction (product order processing in step S115) based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110. The card reader / writer 57 uses the card reader / writer 57 to calculate the number of possessed balls after the product is ordered, which is the difference from the sum of the selling unit prices (number of balls) determined at the ball rate selected in step S111 for each inputted food and drink. Is written in the storage area of the IC chip Kb (step S120 +). At this time, on the display screen of the display unit 54, as shown in FIG. 27A, the number of possessed balls after the product order is being written to the storage area of the IC chip Kb of the member card K, and step S111. The ball rate selected in step 1, the number of balls based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110, and the number of balls after receiving a product order in the current transaction (product order processing in step S115) are displayed. The In addition, the area in the storage area of the IC chip Kb in which the number of possessed balls after receiving an order for goods is the area of the ball rate selected in step S111. After execution of step S120, the process proceeds to step S124.

  If the card read in step S103 is the visitor card V (step S120; No), the number of balls based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110 and the current transaction (product order in step S115). The card reader / writer 57 uses the card reader / writer 57 to calculate the number of possessed balls after receiving an order, which is a difference from the sum of the selling unit prices (the number of balls) determined at the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink inputted in the processing). Write to the storage area of the IC chip Va of the visitor card V (step S121). At this time, on the display screen of the display unit 54, as shown in FIG. 27 (a), the number of possessed balls after the order for the product is being written in the storage area of the IC chip Va of the visitor card V, and step S111. The ball rate selected in step 1, the number of balls based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110, and the number of balls after receiving a product order in the current transaction (product order processing in step S115) are displayed. The Note that the area in the storage area of the IC chip Va to which the number of possessed balls after receiving an order for goods is the area of the ball rate selected in step S111.

  After execution of step S121, the prepaid balance read in step S103, the number of balls based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110, and the current transaction (product order processing in step S115) are input. Based on the difference from the sum of the selling unit prices (number of balls) determined at the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink, the number of balls held at all ball rates is stored in the visitor card V. It is determined whether or not the prepaid balance is 0 yen (step S122). If the number of balls in all the ball rates is 0 and the prepaid balance stored in the visitor card V is not 0 yen (step S122; No), the card inserted in the card reader / writer 57 is ejected (step S124). ) Proceed to step S125, and if the number of balls in all ball rates is 0 and the prepaid balance stored in the visitor card V is 0 yen (step S122; Yes), the visitor inserted in the card reader / writer 57 The visitor card V is collected by sending the card V to a collection space (not shown) provided in the transaction terminal 50 (step S124). Then, a receipt R describing the product name, number, receipt number, etc. of the food and drink ordered in step S115 is issued by the receipt printer 59 according to the processing result of the product order processing executed in step S115 (step S125). ), The terminal transaction table data (transaction history) and the transaction terminal of the terminal transaction table updated in step S117 including the card ID, the product ID, the transaction time, the quantity, the ball rate, and the number of balls for the possession management server 110 A holding ball management table update request including the ID is transmitted (step S126).

  When the CPU 112 of the possession management server 110 receives the possession management table update request from the transaction terminal 50, the card ID, product ID, transaction time, quantity, and ball rate included in the received possession management table update request. Based on the terminal transaction table data including the number of balls and the transaction terminal ID, the history management table is updated (step Sm310), and the ball rate and the receipt number are stored in association with each other. After execution of step Sm310, whether or not the card ID included in the received money management table update request is the card ID of the member card, that is, the first two characters of the card ID indicate the card ID of the member card. It is determined whether it is “KC” or “VC” indicating the card ID of the visitor card V (step Sm311). When the card ID included in the received ball management table update request is not the card ID of the membership card (step Sm311; No), the CPU 112 associates it with the received card ID in the visitor ball management table. Of the number of balls held for each ball rate stored, the number of balls at the ball rate included in the received ball management table update request is the ball included in the received ball management table update request. The subtraction is updated by several minutes (step Sm312). When the card ID included in the received possession management table update request is the card ID of the member card (step Sm311; Yes), the CPU 112 corresponds to the card ID in the member possession management table. The number of balls in the received ball management table update request included in the received ball management table update request is included in the received ball management table update request. Subtraction is updated by the number of balls present (step Sm313).

  On the other hand, when the holding ball is not selected as the payment method in step S113, that is, when the stored ball is selected as the payment method (step S113; No), the MPU 51 displays the display screen of the display unit 54 in FIG. As shown, the menu screen for food and drink is displayed (step S130), and the service provider operates the touch panel 52 in accordance with the order from the player, thereby enabling the player to accept the order.

  When receiving the history management table update request from the transaction terminal 50, the CPU 112 of the possession management server 110 receives the history management table based on the transaction terminal ID and the terminal transaction table data included in the received history management table update request. , And the ball rate and the receipt number are stored in association with each other. Further, a history management table update completion notification indicating that the history management table has been updated is transmitted to the transaction terminal 50 (Sm320).

  Upon receiving the history management table update completion notification, the MPU 51 of the transaction terminal 50 sends the terminal transaction table data and the member ID of the terminal transaction table updated in step S133 including the ball rate and the number of balls to the member management server 120. A storage ball management table update request is transmitted (step S138).

  When the CPU 122 of the member management server 120 receives a storage ball management table update request from the transaction terminal 50, the CPU 122 receives the number of stored balls for each ball rate stored in association with the received member ID in the storage ball management table. The number of balls stored at the ball rate included in the received storage management table update request is subtracted and updated by the number of balls included in the received storage management table update request (step Sk510).

  If the disconnection flag is set in step S105 (step S105; Yes), whether or not the card read in step S103 is a member card, that is, the first two characters of the card ID are the card of the member card. It is determined whether it is “KC” indicating the ID or “VC” indicating the card ID of the visitor card V (step S106). When the card read in step S103 is the member card K (step S106; Yes), the member card K inserted in the card reader / writer 57 is discharged, and when the card read in step S103 is the visitor card V ( In step S106; No), the MPU 51 displays the number of balls for each ball rate on the display screen of the display unit 54 (step S140), and accepts the selection of the ball rate of the ball to be used for the transaction with the player (step S140). Step S140a). Note that the display screen in step S140 does not display the number of stored balls for each ball rate, or displays 0 for the number of stored balls for each ball rate, thereby indicating that the payment method is only holding balls. To do. After the ball rate for holding balls used for payment is selected in step S140a, a menu screen for food and drink is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 54 as shown in FIG. 25 (step S141), and the service provider is the player. By operating the touch panel 52 in accordance with the order from the player, it is possible to accept the player's order.

  In this state, when the service provider operates the touch panel 52, a product order receiving process for accepting food and drink orders from the player is executed (step S142). As shown in FIG. The display is switched to an input screen for inputting the food and drink and the number of the food and drink in accordance with the player's order. By operating this input screen, the food and drink ordered by the player is input. In this merchandise order processing, the MPU 51 is determined by the number of balls read from the IC chip Va of the visitor card V and the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink input by operating the input screen. The sales unit price (the number of balls) is compared with the sum of the sales unit price (the number of balls) determined at the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink inputted by the operation on the input screen. If the total sum is greater than the number of possessed balls read from the IC chip Va of the visitor card V, the product order processing is stopped and the number of retained balls read from the IC chip Va of the visitor card V is insufficient. An error display is displayed on the display screen. After the product order processing, the MPU 51 calculates the sum of the sales unit price (number of balls) determined at the ball rate selected in step S111 for each food and drink input in the current transaction (product order processing in step S142). In addition to updating the total number of used balls stored in association with the ball rate shown in FIG. 4 (step S143), the receipt number of the receipt R issued (printed) by the receipt printer 59 in step S149 described later is added. Correspondingly, the card ID read in step S103, the transaction time for executing the current transaction (the product order processing in step S142), the food and drink (product for which the order was received from the player in the current transaction (the product order processing in step S142)) ) Product ID and quantity, the ball rate, the number of balls as the sales unit price of each food and drink, and the transmitted flag “00” indicating “not yet transmitted” It is stored in the terminal transaction table (step S144). At this time, the receipt number described in the receipt R is determined by the MPU 51 specifying the latest receipt number stored in the terminal transaction table by referring to the terminal transaction table. (Consecutive) numbers following are determined.

  After execution of step S144, the number of balls is based on the number of balls received from the ball management server 110, and the selection is made in step S111 for each food and drink input in the current transaction (product order processing in step S142). The new number of possessed balls after the product order, which is the difference from the total sales unit price (number of balls) determined by the ball rate, is written to the storage area of the IC chip Va of the visitor card V by the card reader / writer 57 ( Step S145), the prepaid balance read in Step S103, the number of possessions based on the number of possessions received from the possession management server 110, and each food and drink input in the current transaction (product order processing in Step S115) Based on the difference from the total sales unit price (number of balls) determined at the ball rate selected in step S111, 0 and determines whether the prepaid balance is $ 0, which is stored in the visitor card V (step S146).

  If the number of balls in all ball rates is 0 and the prepaid balance stored in the visitor card V is not 0 yen (step S146; No), the card inserted in the card reader / writer 57 is discharged (step S147). ) Proceed to step S149, and if the number of balls in all ball rates is 0 and the prepaid balance stored in the visitor card V is 0 yen (step S146; Yes), the visitor inserted in the card reader / writer 57 The visitor card V is collected by sending the card V to a collection space (not shown) provided in the transaction terminal 50 (step S148). The receipt printer 59 then issues a receipt R describing the product name, number, receipt number, etc. of the food and drink ordered in step S1 (step S149).

  Next, processing that is performed between the transaction terminal 50, the possession management server 110, and the member management server 120 when the product cancellation process is executed at the transaction terminal 50 will be described with reference to FIG. 19.

  First, in the transaction terminal 50, when the product cancellation process is started, the MPU 51 reads the terminal transaction table as the transaction history, and displays all the receipt numbers that have been traded in the transaction terminal 50 on the display unit 54. A list is displayed on the screen so as to be selectable by operating the touch panel 52 (step S151), and the receipt number including the product to be canceled is selected by operating the touch panel 52 (step S152). The receipt number including the product to be canceled is printed on the receipt R issued in step S125, step S136, step S149 or step S164 described later.

  When the receipt number including the food or drink to be canceled is selected in step S152, the MPU 51 displays the receipt number selected in the terminal transaction table as the detailed information of the transaction history on the display screen of the display unit 54 as shown in FIG. The product name (menu name) and quantity (number) of food and drink stored in association with each other and the ball rate are displayed (step S153). The MPU 51 receives the selection of the product name and quantity to be canceled by operating the touch panel 52 in a state where the detailed information of the transaction history is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 54 (step S154).

  And MPU51 is based on the food and drink received in step S154, with respect to the possession management server 110, transaction terminal ID, receipt number including the canceled food and drink, food and drink canceled in the terminal transaction table. Card ID stored in association with receipt number to include, product ID of canceled food / drink, quantity of food / drink, ball rate, product cancellation request including cancellation balls generated by canceling food / drink (Step S155), it is determined whether or not a ball return completion notification to be described later has been received from the ball management server 110 (Step S156). If the ball return completion notification has not been received (step S156; No), execution of step S156 is repeated until a ball return completion notification is received.

When receiving the product cancellation request from the transaction terminal 50, the CPU 112 of the possession management server 110 refers to the history management table to determine whether or not there is a corresponding transaction history in the history management table, that is, included in the received product cancellation request. is it is associated to the transaction terminal ID receipt number stored in the history management table, the card ID, product ID, the quantity, in the ball rate, receipt number that is included in the product cancellation request received, the card It is determined whether or not there is a match with the ID, product ID, quantity, and ball rate (step Sm330). When there is no corresponding transaction history in the history management table (step Sm330; No), an error notification is transmitted to the transaction terminal 50. By receiving this error notification, transaction terminal 50 performs error notification indicating that the product cancellation process cannot be executed (step S169).

  If the transaction management table has a corresponding transaction history (step Sm330; Yes), whether or not the card ID included in the received product cancellation request is the card ID of the member card, that is, the first card ID. Are determined to be “KC” indicating the card ID of the membership card or “VC” indicating the card ID of the visitor card V (step Sm332). When the card ID included in the received product cancellation request is a member card ID (step Sm332; Yes), the CPU 112 sets the card ID included in the received product cancellation request in the member management table for members. Of the number of balls for each ball rate stored in association, the number of balls to be canceled is added to the number of balls at the ball rate included in the received product cancellation request (step Sm333). When the card ID included in the received product cancellation request is the card ID of the visitor card V (step Sm332; No), the CPU 112 is included in the received product cancellation request in the visitor holding management table. Of the number of balls for each ball rate stored in association with the card ID, By adding updating cancellation piece count of the number of lifting balls balls rate contained in the product cancel request signal (step Sm334), the process proceeds to step Sm335.

  Then, the receipt number included in the received merchandise cancellation request and the card ID transaction time, the merchandise ID, the quantity, the ball rate, and the number of balls stored in association with the receipt number are deleted from the history management table. (Step Sm335), a ball return completion notification indicating that the number of canceled balls has been added and updated in the member possession ball management table or visitor management table is transmitted to the transaction terminal 50 (step Sm336).

  When the MPU 51 of the transaction terminal 50 receives the ball return completion notification in step S156 (step S156; Yes), the ball rate stored in the terminal transaction table in association with the receipt number selected in step S152. And the number of canceled balls generated by canceling food is subtracted and updated from the total number of balls used stored in association with the specified ball rate in the terminal usage amount table (step S157).

  After execution of step S157, the MPU 51 associates the product ID of the food and drink received in step S154 with the product ID among the product IDs stored in association with the receipt number received in step S152 in the terminal transaction table. The stored quantity, ball rate, ball price, and transmitted flag are deleted (step S158). At this time, if there is no transaction history stored in association with the receipt number, the card ID and transaction time stored in association with the receipt number are deleted from the terminal transaction table from the terminal transaction table. Further, if there is a transaction history stored in association with the receipt number, the new receipt number is stored in the terminal transaction table, and the transaction history stored in association with the current receipt number is new as it is. Store in association with the receipt number. Then, after deleting the transaction history stored in association with the current receipt number from the terminal transaction table, the transaction terminal ID, the new receipt number, the card ID, the transaction time, and the merchandise for the possession management server 110 A transaction history change request including the ID, quantity, ball rate, and number of balls is transmitted (step S159).

CPU112 of lifting ball management server 110 receives the transaction history modification request from the transaction terminal 50, in association with the transaction terminal ID included in the received transaction history modification request, as a transaction request contained in the change request The new receipt number, card ID transaction time, product ID, quantity, ball rate, and number of balls included in the received transaction history change request are registered (Sm337).

  Further, the MPU 51 of the transaction terminal 50 after execution of step S159 accepts the insertion of the visitor card V into the card reader / writer 57 (step S160), and whether or not the membership card K or the visitor card V is inserted into the card reader / writer 57. In other words, it is determined whether the member card K or the visitor card V is inserted into the card reader / writer 57 within a predetermined time (step S161).

  When the member card K or the visitor card V is inserted into the card reader / writer 57 within a predetermined time (step S161; No), the IC chip Kb of the member card K or the IC card of the visitor card V that is accepted for insertion in step S160. The number of balls that are stored in the storage area of Va in association with each ball rate is updated by adding the number of balls that are canceled at the corresponding ball rate (step S162), and the process proceeds to step S163. At this time, as shown in FIG. 29, the display screen of the display unit 54 is adding and updating the storage area of the IC chip Kb of the member card K or the IC chip Va of the visitor card V with the number of balls to be cancelled. And the number of balls at the same ball rate as the number of canceled balls read from the IC chip Kb of the member card K or the IC chip Va of the visitor card V when the member card K or the visitor card V is inserted in step S161, The number of held balls after the number of canceled balls is added to the number of held balls and updated is displayed.

  If the member card K or visitor card V is not inserted into the card reader / writer 57 within a predetermined time (step S161; Yes), is the card ID transmitted as the transaction history change request the card ID of the member card? No, that is, whether the first two characters of the card ID of the card that should have been inserted into the card reader / writer 57 in step S160 is “KC” indicating the card ID of the membership card, or the card ID of the visitor card V It is determined whether or not the “VC” indicates. When the card ID transmitted as the transaction history change request is the card ID of the member card (step S165; Yes), an error notification indicating that the member card K is not inserted in the card reader / writer 57 is executed (step S165). In step S170, the card insertion by the card reader / writer 57 is accepted again in step S160.

  When the card ID transmitted as the transaction history change request is the card ID of the visitor card (step S165; No), it is determined that the visitor card V has been collected in step S123 in the merchandise reception process, and the IC of the new visitor card V In the storage area of the chip Va, the number of canceled balls is written in association with the ball rate (step S166), and the card ID transmitted as the transaction history change request stored in the terminal transaction table is the newly issued visitor card V. The card ID is rewritten (step S167). Then, the card ID transmitted as a transaction history change request, the card ID of the newly issued visitor card V, and the storage area of the IC chip Va of the newly issued visitor card V are written to the holding management server 110. A request for shifting the number of balls including the number of balls that is the number of canceled balls and the ball rate of the number of canceled balls is transmitted (step S168), and the process proceeds to step S163.

  When receiving the number-of-balls transfer request from the transaction terminal 50, the CPU 112 of the ball management server 110 first identifies the card ID included in the received transaction history change request from the visitor ball management table as the transfer process. The card ID is rewritten to the card ID of the visitor card V to be newly issued. Then, the number of canceled balls is stored in the corresponding ball rate in association with the card ID of the newly issued visitor card V.

  In step S163, the MPU 51 refers to the terminal transaction table, issues a receipt R of a new receipt number by the receipt printer 59 (step S163), and then ejects the member card K or the visitor card V from the card reader / writer 57 (step S163). Step S164).

Next, the business end process executed on the transaction terminal 50 will be described. As shown in FIG. 20, in the business end process executed on the transaction terminal 50, first, the MPU 51 selects the “business end” on the menu screen, whereby the terminal usage amount table of the transaction terminal 50 is selected. The card reader / writer 57 accepts the insertion of an order card for shifting the total number of balls used for each ball rate stored in the transaction terminal 50 from the transaction terminal 50 (step S41), and stores it in the storage area of the IC chip of the order card. The total number of balls used for each ball rate stored in the terminal usage amount table is written (step S42). At this time, as shown in FIG. 30, on the display screen of the display unit 54, the total number of balls used for each ball rate stored in the terminal usage amount table is written in the storage area of the IC chip of the order card. a display indicating that it is, the number of balls in each Tamale over preparative read from the storage area of the IC chip of the order card at the time of inserting the order card in step S41 (all 0), terminal該玉number The number of balls after writing the total number of balls used for each ball rate stored in the usage amount table is displayed.

  After completing the writing of the total number of balls used for each ball rate stored in the terminal usage amount table in the storage area of the IC chip of the order card, the MPU 51 resets the terminal usage amount table and the terminal transaction table ( Step S43), the order card is ejected from the card reader / writer 57, and the business end processing is ended.

The execution business end determination processing shown in FIG. 21, in order to determine whether the end of the job processing described above in a transaction for the end end 50 has been executed, MPU 51 is interrupts the main processing every time a predetermined time elapses It is processing to do. In this business end determination process, first, the MPU 51 refers to the RTC 61 and determines whether or not it is the business end verification time for verifying whether or not the business end process has been executed (step S46). Note that the work end verification time of the present embodiment may be set after a predetermined time has elapsed from the business hall end time or at midnight when the date changes.

  When it is not the business end verification time (step S46; No), the business end determination process is terminated, and when it is the business end verification time (step S46; Yes), the terminal usage amount table and the terminal transaction table are displayed. , It is determined whether or not the terminal usage amount table and the terminal transaction table are in a reset state. When the terminal usage amount table and the terminal transaction table are not reset (step S47; No), the business end determination process is terminated, and when the terminal usage amount table and the terminal transaction table are reset (step S47; Yes). The terminal printer amount table data is issued by the receipt printer 59 (step S48). In this way, even if the service provider forgets to execute the business end process, it is possible to settle the sales at the transaction terminal 50 based on the terminal usage amount data issued in step S48 at a later date. It has become. Then, the terminal usage amount table and the terminal transaction table are reset, and the business end determination process is ended.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, when executing the product cancellation process, the terminal transaction table is read as a transaction history, and all receipt numbers for which transactions have been made at the transaction terminal 50 are displayed on the display screen of the display unit 54. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the card ID is read by reading the card ID when executing the product canceling process. Only the receipt numbers stored in association with each other may be displayed as a list on the display screen of the display unit 54, and a modified example in this case will be described below.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, when the product cancellation process is started, the MPU 51 accepts insertion of the membership card K and the visitor card V by the card reader / writer 57 (step S200). When the member card K or visitor card V is inserted into the card reader / writer 57, the MPU 51 reads the card ID from the storage area of the IC chip of the card by the card reader / writer 57 (step S201). Then, the MPU 51 reads the terminal transaction table as the transaction history, and displays only the receipt numbers stored in association with the read card ID on the display screen of the display unit 54 so as to be selectable by the touch panel 52 (step). (S202), the selection of the receipt number including the product to be canceled is accepted by operating the touch panel 52 (step S203).

  When the receipt number including the food or drink to be canceled is selected in step S1203, the MPU 51 displays the receipt number selected in the terminal transaction table as the detailed information of the transaction history on the display screen of the display unit 54 as shown in FIG. The product name (menu name) and quantity (number) of food and drink stored in association with each other and the ball rate are displayed (step S204). The MPU 51 accepts selection of the product name and quantity to be canceled by operating the touch panel 52 in a state where the detailed information of the transaction history is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 54 (step S205).

  And MPU51 is based on the food and drink received in step S154, with respect to the possession management server 110, transaction terminal ID, receipt number including the canceled food and drink, food and drink canceled in the terminal transaction table. Card ID stored in association with receipt number to include, product ID of canceled food / drink, quantity of food / drink, ball rate, product cancellation request including cancellation balls generated by canceling food / drink (Step S206), it is determined whether or not a ball return completion notification to be described later has been received from the ball management server 110 (Step S207). When the ball return completion notification has not been received (step S207; No), execution of step S207 is repeated until the ball return completion notification is received.

When receiving the product cancellation request from the transaction terminal 50, the CPU 112 of the possession management server 110 refers to the history management table to determine whether or not there is a corresponding transaction history in the history management table, that is, included in the received product cancellation request. is it is associated to the transaction terminal ID receipt number stored in the history management table, the card ID, product ID, the quantity, in the ball rate, receipt number that is included in the product cancellation request received, the card It is determined whether or not there is a match with the ID, product ID, quantity, and ball rate (step Sm340). If there is no corresponding transaction history in the history management table (step Sm340; No), an error notification is transmitted to the transaction terminal 50. By receiving this error notification, transaction terminal 50 performs error notification indicating that the product cancellation process cannot be executed (step S214).

  If the transaction management table has a corresponding transaction history (step Sm340; Yes), whether or not the card ID included in the received product cancellation request is the card ID of the member card, that is, the first card ID. It is determined whether the two characters are “KC” indicating the card ID of the member card or “VC” indicating the card ID of the visitor card V (step Sm341). When the card ID included in the received product cancellation request is a member card ID (Step Sm341; Yes), the CPU 112 sets the card ID included in the received product cancellation request in the member management card management table. Of the number of balls for each ball rate stored in association, the number of balls to be canceled is added to the number of balls at the ball rate included in the received product cancellation request (step Sm342). In the case where the card ID included in the received product cancellation request is the card ID of the visitor card V (step Sm341; No), the CPU 112 is included in the received product cancellation request in the visitor management table. Of the number of balls for each ball rate stored in association with the card ID, By adding updating cancellation piece count of the number of lifting balls balls rate contained in the product cancel request signal (step Sm343), the process proceeds to step Sm344.

  Then, the receipt number included in the received merchandise cancellation request and the card ID transaction time, the merchandise ID, the quantity, the ball rate, and the number of balls stored in association with the receipt number are deleted from the history management table. (Step Sm344), a ball return completion notification indicating that the number of canceled balls has been added and updated in the member possession management table or visitor management table is transmitted to the transaction terminal 50 (Step Sm345).

  When the MPU 51 of the transaction terminal 50 receives the ball return completion notification in step S156 (step S207; Yes), the ball rate stored in the terminal transaction table in association with the receipt number selected in step S203. And the number of cancel balls generated by canceling food is added to the total number of used balls stored in association with the specified ball rate in the terminal usage amount table (step S208).

After executing step S208, the MPU 51 associates the product ID of the food and drink received in step S205 with the product ID among the product IDs stored in association with the receipt number received in step S203 in the terminal transaction table. The stored quantity, ball rate, ball price number, and transmitted flag are deleted (step S209). At this time, if there is no transaction history stored in association with the receipt number, the card ID and transaction time stored in association with the receipt number are also deleted from the terminal transaction table. In addition, if there is a transaction history stored in association with the receipt number,
The new receipt number is stored in the terminal transaction table, and the transaction history stored in association with the current receipt number is stored in association with the new receipt number as it is. Then, after deleting the transaction history stored in association with the current receipt number from the terminal transaction table, the transaction terminal ID, the new receipt number, the card ID, the transaction time, and the merchandise for the possession management server 110 A transaction history change request including ID, quantity, ball rate, and number of balls is transmitted (step S210).

CPU112 of lifting ball management server 110 receives the transaction history modification request from the transaction terminal 50, in association with the transaction terminal ID included in the received transaction history modification request, as a transaction request contained in the change request The new receipt number, card ID transaction time, product ID, quantity, ball rate, and number of balls included in the received transaction history change request are registered (Sm346).

  Further, the MPU 51 of the transaction terminal 50 after execution of step S210 determines whether or not the card ID read in step S201 is the card ID of the member card, that is, the first two characters of the card ID indicate the card ID of the member card. Whether it is “KC” or “VC” indicating the card ID of the visitor card V (step S211). When the card ID transmitted as the transaction history change request is the card ID of the membership card (step S211; Yes), the process proceeds to step S213, and the card ID transmitted as the transaction history change request is the card ID of the visitor card V (Step S211; No) updates the addition of the number of balls to be canceled at the corresponding ball rate to the number of balls that are stored in association with each ball rate in the storage area of the IC chip Va of the visitor card V (Step S211; No). S212) Proceed to step S213. At this time, as shown in FIG. 29, the display screen of the display unit 54 indicates that the number of canceled balls is being added and is being added and updated in the storage area of the IC chip Va of the visitor card V, and the visitor card in step S161. When the V is inserted, the number of balls with the same ball rate read from the IC chip Va of the visitor card V is displayed, and the number of balls after the number of balls is updated by adding the number of balls to be canceled is displayed. Is done.

  In step S164, the MPU 51 refers to the terminal transaction table, issues a receipt R of a new receipt number by the receipt printer 59 (step S164), and then discharges the member card K or visitor card V from the card reader / writer 57.

  As described above, in the transaction system, the transaction terminal 50, the possession management server 110, and the member management server 120 of this embodiment, when canceling an order, the number of balls specified from the transaction history is returned. , It is possible to prevent the wrong number of balls or illegally many balls from being returned.

  In addition, since it is added to the number of balls of the ball rate used by the player and returned, it is impossible to replay using the number of balls of the ball rate by returning to another ball rate. The occurrence of such inconveniences can be prevented.

  Further, the ball rate to which the number of balls is added can be easily specified from the ball rate specifying information.

  In addition, since the receipt R is issued, the receipt number can be easily identified from the receipt R, and since the receipt R is issued separately from the visitor card V possessed by the player, the visitor card V is collected. Can do.

  Further, since the number of balls to be returned can be easily specified from the member card K or visitor card V possessed by the player, the player possesses a recording medium different from the member card K or visitor card V. There is no need, and the convenience of the player can be improved.

  In addition, since the visitor card V that is no longer needed due to the absence of the number of balls is discharged, it is possible to prevent the visitor card V that is no longer needed from being discarded and used illegally.

  In addition, the number of balls or the number of balls corresponding to the number of balls subtracted is added to the number of balls held, not the number of balls, so for example, the number of balls to be carried out collectively when the date is changed Since it is not necessary to carry out the transition process for shifting to the number of stored balls every time there is a cancellation, it is possible to prevent the processing associated with the cancellation from becoming complicated.

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

  For example, in the product cancellation process of the modified example, the terminal transaction table is read as the transaction history, and only the receipt numbers stored in association with the card ID read in step S201 are displayed as a list on the display screen of the display unit 54. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when there is no receipt number stored in association with the card ID read in step S201 in the terminal transaction table, The transaction history transmission request including the card ID read in step S201 is transmitted, and the CPU 112 of the possession management server 110 that has received the transmission request refers to the history management table, so that it is included in the received transaction history transmission request. Each receipt number stored in association with the card ID being stored The receipt number, transaction time, product ID, quantity, ball rate, number of balls) are transmitted as transaction history notification to the transaction terminal 50, and the transaction received by the MPU 51 of the transaction terminal 50 that has received the transaction history notification. The receipt numbers included in the history notification may be displayed as a list.

  In the above embodiment, when the product cancellation process is executed by selecting “maintenance” on the main menu screen and selecting “refund” on the maintenance menu screen (not shown), the MPU 51 As a cancellation accepting means, a terminal transaction table is read as a transaction history, and all receipt numbers that have been transacted at the transaction terminal 50 are displayed in a list on the display screen of the display unit 54 so as to be selectable, and canceled. Is selected by operating the touch panel 52, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a product cancellation process is executed, only one receipt number is stored in the terminal transaction table. Display the receipt number on the display screen of the display unit 54 and touch Without going through the selection of the receipt number by the panel 52, it may be the selection of the product name and quantity to cancel to accept by the operation of the touch panel 52.

  In the modification, the card ID is read from the storage area of the IC chip of the card inserted into the card reader / writer 57, and the terminal transaction table is read as a transaction history, and the read card ID is stored in association with the card ID. Only the receipt numbers currently displayed are displayed in a selectable manner on the display screen of the display unit 54 by the touch panel 52, and the selection of the receipt number including the product to be canceled is accepted by the operation of the touch panel 52. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the card ID is read from the storage area of the IC chip of the card inserted in the card reader / writer 57, the terminal transaction table is read as the transaction history, and the receipt number with the newest transaction time is read out from the read transaction history. By specifying, the specified record is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 54. The product name (menu name) and quantity (number) of the food and drink stored in association with the game number and the ball rate are displayed, and the selection of the product name and quantity to be canceled is accepted by operating the touch panel 52. May be.

  Moreover, in the said Example, in step S112 of merchandise reception processing, the payment method selection for selecting whether the payment of a transaction is performed from a holding ball or a storage ball is received by operation of the touch panel 52, and by the selection of the touch panel 52, The total number of balls of the traded product is subtracted and updated for the number of balls received, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of balls received by the selection of the touch panel 52 If it is less than the total number of balls, the transaction may be performed by subtracting and updating the insufficient number of balls from the number of balls not accepted by selection on the touch panel 52.

  Moreover, in the said Example, when performing goods cancellation processing, the goods cancellation request | requirement is transmitted with respect to the possession management server 110 from the terminal 50 for transactions, and the notification of completion of a possession return is received from the possession management server 110. The subtraction update of the terminal usage amount table, the update of the terminal transaction table, and the addition update of the number of balls in the IC chip Kb of the member card K or the IC chip Va of the visitor card V are executed, but the present invention is limited to this. If the connection state between the transaction terminal 50 and the possession management server 110 is offline, the transmitted flag indicates “not transmitted” by the MPU 51 referring to the transmitted flag in the terminal transaction table. The merchandise cancellation process may be executed only for the transaction history that is “00”. In this case, since the connection state between the transaction terminal 50 and the possession management server 110 is online, step S32 of the offline determination process is executed, so the transaction history and history automatically stored in the terminal transaction table Transaction history stored in the management table is synchronized.

  Moreover, in the said Example, in step S112 of merchandise reception processing, the payment method selection for selecting whether the payment of a transaction is performed from a holding ball or a storage ball is received by operation of the touch panel 52, and by the selection of the touch panel 52, The number of balls on the accepting side is updated by subtracting the total number of balls traded, but the present invention is not limited to this, and by paying the transaction, priority is given to either the number of balls held or the number of balls stored If the total number of balls traded is larger than the number of balls that are preferentially subtracted and updated, the number of balls on the other side is updated. (For example, when the total number of balls traded preferentially from the number of possessed balls is subtracted and updated, the total number of balls traded from the total number of balls traded may be updated.

  When the total number of balls traded preferentially from one of the number of balls and the number of balls is subtracted and updated as described above, the number of balls canceled when the product cancellation process is executed. Since the number of possessed balls is added and updated, it is desirable to subtract and update the total number of products traded with priority over the number of retained balls.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the goods which a service provider and a player trade using the transaction terminal 50 were demonstrated as food and drink, this invention is not limited to this, A goods is non-food and drinks, such as a tobacco. It may be.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the number of balls having a ball rate of 1 yen / ball in area 1 in the storage area of the IC chip Kb of the membership card K and the IC chip Va of the visitor card V, and 2 yen / ball of balls in the area 2 The number of balls with a rate, the number of balls with a ball rate of 3 yen / ball in area 3 and the number of balls with a ball rate of 4 yen / ball in area 4 are stored. Although it is possible to execute transaction of goods using the number of balls with the stored ball rate, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the IC chip Kb of the membership card K and the visitor card V In the storage area of the IC chip Va, the number 1 of balls with a ball rate of 4 yen / ball is in area 1, the number of balls b with a ball rate of 4 yen / ball in area 2, and the ball rate of 4 yen / ball in area 3 The number of possession of c, the number of possession of 4 yen / ball rate in area 4 Each store may be able to be the same rate used separately as lifting balls number using the lifting balls number a~ lifting balls number d to the trading of commodities in the transaction terminal 50.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the ball rate of the number of balls is memorize | stored in each area in the storage area of IC chip Kb of the membership card K and IC chip Va of the visitor card V, this invention is not limited to this. For example, in each storage area of the IC chip Kb of the member card K and the IC chip Va of the visitor card V, if the gaming machine is a slot machine, the medal rate of medals used in the gaming of the slot machine is indicated. If the gaming machine is an enclosed game machine, the point rate of points obtained by the game of the enclosed game machine may be stored.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the transaction terminal 50 enables the transaction of goods by using the number of balls currently memorize | stored in the storage area of IC chip Kb of the membership card K, this invention is limited to this. The number of possessed balls is not stored in the storage area of the IC chip Kb of the member card K, but the number of retained balls is stored only in the retained ball management server 110, and the retained balls for the member of the retained ball management server 110 are stored. You may make it enable the transaction of the goods in the transaction terminal 50 by using the number of possession balls memorize | stored in the management table. In this case, after the MPU 51 reads the card ID from the member card K by the card reader / writer 57, the MPU 51 transmits a ball number request including the card ID read by the card reader / writer 57 to the member's own ball management server 110. Then, the number of balls for each ball rate stored in the ball management server 110 is acquired, and the member player who owns the membership card K in the transaction terminal 50 is stored in the ball management server 110. What is necessary is just to enable it to carry out the transaction of goods according to the number of holding balls.
