Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a game arcade system. In the game arcade, the lending machine 2 and the data display 3 corresponding to the game machine (slot machine) 1 (game start determination means, game end determination means, first output means, second output means, code information display means, A start image display unit, an end image display unit, a registration identification information storage unit, a browsing permission unit, a start identification information storage unit, an output unit, and an invalidation unit) are provided. Two game machines 1 and 2, lending machine 2 and data indicator 3 are connected to one relay device 4, and relay device 4 is connected to management device 6 (game information totaling means) via LAN 5 It is done. The management device 6 is installed, for example, in a management room in the game arcade, and is configured by combining a keyboard 7, a monitor 8, a printer (not shown), and the like. Peripheral devices (not shown) such as a POS that performs a prize exchange process are communicably connected to the LAN 5 with the management device 6.

  Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred game machines 1 are to be managed by the management device 6. In the present embodiment, since the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine, the gaming value (gaming medium) is a medal. If the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko machine, the gaming value is pachinko balls. In the following, a medal may be used as a ball and may be described as a generic term for game value.

  The gaming machine 1 includes a display window 9, a start lever 10, stop buttons 11 to 13, a display lamp unit 14, a liquid crystal display unit 15, a medal insertion slot 16, a BET button 17, a tray 18 and the like. The player can visually recognize the symbols of the left reel 19, the middle reel 20 and the right reel 21 provided inside through the display window 9. Each symbol is drawn on the circumferential surface of each of the reels 19 to 21. In a state in which each of the reels 19 to 21 is stopped, the symbols are stopped and displayed corresponding to the upper, middle and lower portions of the display window 9. That is, in the gaming machine 1, symbol display areas corresponding to nine symbols in total are formed for each of the reels 19 to 21 for three symbols.

  In the gaming machine 1, the start lever 10 is operated in a state where a medal (game value) is inserted from the medal insertion slot 16 by the player, or a credit medal (game value) is inserted by operating the BET button 17. When the game is started (when the game is started), the internal lottery is performed and the movement of the reels 19 to 21 is started, and the stop buttons 11 to 13 are operated to perform so-called retraction control (prescribed retraction range, For example, the fluctuation of the reels 19 to 21 is stopped by control of drawing the symbols up to 4 symbols onto the effective line and displaying the stop.

From the gaming machine 1, gaming signals shown below are output according to the game.
-Out signal = output from the gaming machine 1. Since the number of medals in the bet state (3 cards) is pulse-outputted in accordance with the start operation and the medals in the bet state are consumed, the number of out signals × 1 becomes out (consumption value, the number of used media). In addition, the corresponding part is output also at the time of replay.
-Safe signal = output from gaming machine 1 Since one pulse is output each time one medal is awarded (dispensed), the number of safe signals × 1 becomes safe (prize award value, the number of dispensing media). In addition, also at the time of Replay combination winning, it outputs the medal portion used in the game.

-BB or RB signal = output from gaming machine 1 Since the level is output during the corresponding bonus state (BB, RB), the signal input period is specified as the bonus state.
The lending machine 2 is operated by a control unit (all not shown) configured by a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I / O. The lending machine 2 has a coin insertion slot 22 into which money is inserted, a lending button 23 to lend a medal, a card insertion slot 24 to which an IC card (not shown) is inserted, an issue button 25 to issue an IC card, a payout operation A payout button 26 is provided, and a payout nozzle 27 or the like is provided for paying out medals to the tray 18 of the gaming machine 1 in response to pressing of the payout button 26.

  When the lending machine 2 receives money (money accepting process), the deposit amount is added to the balance and displayed on the lending machine 2, and when the player depresses the lending button 23 (loaning operation) with the balance, the payout is made. A loan medal (value for consideration) of a unit (for example, 1000 yen) is paid out from the payout nozzle 27 (value for money giving process), and the value for the price is subtracted from the balance. In addition, the money (for example, up to 10,000 yen) corresponding to the payment processing for a plurality of times can be accepted.

  The lending machine 2 can accept the medals obtained by the player, and if accepted, manages the balls as balls, and if the balls are used for the payout process (value assignment process), the payout Subtract the same amount as the refunded medal from the ball. Then, when the player depresses the issuance button 25 (issuing operation) with the balance and the balls remaining, the IC card which can specify the balance and the balls is issued. When an IC card is received at the card insertion slot 24, the balance and balls identified by the IC card are taken over.

  The data display unit 3 includes a data display unit 28, a call button 29, a menu button 30, a short distance communication unit 31 (reading means), and the like. The data display unit 28 displays various types of information such as game information and the like collected based on a signal input from the game machine 1. The call button 29 is operated to allow the player to call an employee of the game arcade. The menu button 30 is operated to pop up a predetermined menu. The short distance communication unit 31 performs short distance communication with IDm (identification information) from the FeliCa mobile phone 32 when the mobile phone with FeliCa function (hereinafter, FeliCa mobile phone) 32 (mobile terminal, code information reading means) is touched. read. In addition, it is assumed that the FeliCa mobile phone 32 has a connection function to the Internet 33.

  The management device 6 transmits / receives various signals and various information to / from the game machine 1, the lending machine 2, and the data display device 3 by a control unit configured by a microcomputer having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I / O. And the like (all not shown) and when receiving a game signal output from the game machine side, the game information (out, safe, difference number, payout rate, BB count, RB count, etc.) of the gaming machine 1 Summarize and calculate sales information. Furthermore, personal game information (hereinafter referred to as "my data") is collected and managed corresponding to the ID m of FeliCa mobile phone 32 registered as a member as described later, and machine data, model information etc. corresponding to the game machine 1 Manage

  The management device 6 is connected to the Internet 33, and can communicate with the server 34 via the Internet 33. This server 34 is installed by the game arcade, receives my data, platform data, model information, etc. from the management device 6 and manages it, and my data etc. in accordance with access from the FeliCa cell phone 32 possessed by the player. Send to the relevant FeliCa cell phone 32. Note that the mobile phone that can access the server 34 is not limited to the FeliCa mobile phone 32, and if it has a function that can be connected to the Internet 33, a common mobile phone that does not have the FeliCa function (hereinafter, general mobile phone) 35 (portable terminal) is also possible.

  By the way, the data display unit 3 determines the login by the login (game start) operation by the player described later and determines the logout (game end) by the logout operation, the login period (game period) from login to logout It has a function of managing my data in and transmitting (outputting) my data to the management apparatus 6 in association with IDm at the time of logout. In this case, since the login operation method and the logout operation method are different depending on the player, the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35 to be associated with my data is determined according to the pattern combining the login operation method and the logout operation method as follows. It is supposed to

Pattern A: IDm of the logged-in FeliCa (A) when logged out as the member registered FeliCa (A) and then logged out as the same FeliCa (A).
Pattern B: IDm of the logged-in FeliCa (A) when logged out with a member-registered FeliCa (A) and then logged out with a different member-registered FeliCa (B).

Pattern C: IDm of the logged-in FeliCa (A) when logged out with a member-registered FeliCa (A) and then logged out with an unregistered member FeliCa (C).
Although the above patterns A to C are distinguished from one another, in actuality, the patterns A to C are not distinguished as described later, and when login and logout are respectively FeliCa cell phone 32, login was performed. My data is made to correspond to the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of login without determining whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 and the FeliCa mobile phone 32 that has logged out are the same IDm.

Pattern D: If the login end button is pressed after logging in as a member registered FeliCa (A), the IDm of FeliCa (A).
・ Pattern E: Login is not possible when trying to login with FeliCa (C) who is not registered as a member.

Pattern F: IDm of FeliCa (A) at the time of logout when logged out with a member registered FeliCa (A) after login operation (manual operation).
Pattern G: IDm of FeliCa (C) at the time of logout when logged out with a member unregistered FeliCa (C) after login operation (manual operation). In this case, since the player has not registered as a member before logging in, this association becomes effective on the condition that the member registration is performed by 24:00 on the day of the game, and the player is required to enter gaming information into FeliCa (C). It can be confirmed by.

  -Pattern H: When a logout operation (manual operation) is performed after a login operation (manual operation), a QR code (registered trademark. Code information) displayed at the end of the login is connected to the displayed URL by imaging ID of FeliCa Mobile 32. In this case, the QR code does not have to be read by the FeliCa mobile phone 32. For example, the mobile phone 35 may be an ordinary mobile phone 35 equipped with an imaging function capable of reading the QR code.

  In short, when logging out with a member registered FeliCa mobile 32 and then logging out with a FeliCa mobile 32 regardless of whether the member is registered or not, my data is associated with the IDm of the FeliCa mobile 32 at login. Moreover, when logging out by login operation (manual operation) and logging out by FeliCa mobile phone 32, my data are matched with IDm of FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of logging out. Then, after associating my data with the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32, my data will be associated with the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32. Furthermore, when logging out by logging in (manual operation) and then logging out by logging out (manual operation), my data is associated with the ID of FeliCa mobile phone 32 connected to the URL displayed by imaging the QR code . That is, the correspondence can be roughly classified into three according to the combination of the login operation method and the logout operation method.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the data display 3, showing only the operation related to the present invention. The data display 3 is assumed to display the normal screen shown in FIG. 2 (a).
The data display device 3 determines whether the menu button 30 has been pressed (S1: NO) or whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 has been touched (S2: NO). For example, when the player touches the FeliCa mobile phone 32 to the data display 3 to confirm the previous my data (S2: YES), the ID Ca is read from the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S3), and the IDm is transmitted to the management device 6 After that (S4), a predetermined start image is displayed as shown in FIG. 2 (e) (S5). In this start image, the my data display unit 36 and the menu display unit 37 are displayed in a pop-up display, and a message indicating that various information can be confirmed by accessing with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is displayed on the my data display unit 36 The “button” 38 and the “start” button 39 are displayed on the menu display unit 37. When receiving the IDm from the data display 3, the management device 6 determines whether the IDm has been registered as a member, and transmits the determination result to the data display 3. In the state where the my data display unit 36 and the menu display unit 37 are displayed in a pop-up manner, the player reduces the lightness of the display regions other than the above (shown by hatched regions in FIGS. 2 and 3). The display unit 36 and the menu display unit 37 are easily visible.

  Next, it is determined whether the IDm has been registered as a member based on the determination result of the management device 6 (S6). If the IDm is not registered (S6: NO), the predetermined screen for unregistered is a FeliCa portable Send to 32 (S8). In this non-registration screen, in addition to a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) indicating a home page for member registration, the base data of the gaming machine 1 corresponding to the data display 3 and the gaming machine 1 corresponding to the data display 3 Display model information etc. If the IDm has been registered (S6: YES), a predetermined registered screen is sent to the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S7). In this registered screen, in addition to the my data stored in correspondence with IDm, the management device 6 displays table data, model information, and the like. That is, when FeliCa cell phone 32 is registered, browsing of my data using FeliCa cell phone 32 is permitted, and when FeliCa cell phone 32 is not registered, browsing of my data using FeliCa cell phone 32 is not permitted. ing.

  When a non-member registered player clicks on the URL indicating the member registration home page displayed on the FeliCa cell phone 32, the FeliCa cell phone 32 accesses the server 34 via the Internet 33 to display the member registration home page. The player can register as a member at the server 34 by inputting necessary items. The member registration in the server 34 is the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32.

Next, the data display device 3 determines whether the “start” button 39 has been pressed (S12: NO) or whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 has been touched (S13: NO).
On the other hand, when the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 touching the data display 3 is registered as a member as described above, it is possible to log in by touching the data display 3 with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 again. That is, when the player touches the FeliCa mobile phone 32 on the data display 3 (S13: YES), it is determined that the player has started the game, and the login start image shown in FIG. 2D is displayed (S14). In this login start image, a message indicating that the recording start of my data is being processed is displayed. Next, IDm is read from the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S15), IDm is stored (S16), IDm is transmitted to the management apparatus 6 (S17), and it is determined whether member registration has been completed (S18). Therefore, the player who is used to the login operation can easily start login to the data display device 3 with a simple operation by touching the member display registered FeliCa mobile phone 32 twice to the data display device 3. The management device 6 determines whether the received IDm has been registered as a member, and transmits the determination result to the data display unit 3.

  If the IDm is not registered (S18: NO), the data display device 3 specifies that the pattern E is the above-mentioned pattern (S19), and the predetermined NG image shown in FIG. Display on the display unit 36 (S20). In this NG image, a message indicating that the member is not registered and a message prompting member registration are displayed. That is, it is prohibited to log in to the FeliCa mobile phone 32 which is not registered as a member. Next, the unregistered screen described above is transmitted to the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S21). As a result, the player can access the home page for member registration through the FeliCa mobile phone 32 and perform member registration.

  By the way, among the players, there are those who do not carry the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or who are carrying the FeliCa mobile phone 32 but are not used to the login operation by the FeliCa mobile phone 32. When such a player logs in, the menu button 30 of the data display 3 is pressed down. When the menu button 30 is depressed (S1: YES), the data display unit 3 displays the menu shown in FIG. 2B on the menu display unit 37 (S9).

When the player depresses the "my data" button 40 (S10: YES), a predetermined start image shown in FIG. 2C is displayed on the my data display unit 36 (S11). In this start image, a message to request pressing of the “start” button or touching the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is displayed, and the “previous menu” button 38, “start” button 39 (start operation means) Display on 37. In step S10, it is determined whether or not the "my data" button 40 has been pressed, and the description in the case where the other buttons have been pressed is omitted, but other processing may be performed according to the pressed button. It has become. Likewise, the description of the operation corresponding to the depression of the button not related to the invention will be omitted.

  Next, it is determined whether the "Start" button 39 has been pressed (S12: NO) or the FeliCa mobile phone 32 has been touched (S13: NO), and the player presses the "Start" button 39 (S12: YES). It is determined that the player has started playing a game, and a login start image shown in FIG. 2D is displayed on the my data display unit 36 (S22).

  As described above, as the login operation method, continuous touch by the member registered FeliCa mobile phone 32, depression of the “start” button 39 after depression of the menu button 30, and FeliCa mobile phone 32 after depression of the menu button 30 There are three ways to touch.

  When the data display unit 3 displays the login start image as described above, it determines whether the login succeeded (S23: NO) or timed out (S24: NO), and if timed out (S24: YES) And 3) (h) is displayed on the my data display unit 36 (S25). In this NG image, a message indicating that recording start of the my data has failed is displayed, and a message prompting to perform the recording start operation again is displayed. If login is successful (S23: YES), a login image shown in FIG. 3 (g) is displayed (S26). In this login image, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the number of BBs, the number of BBs, the number of BB starts, the total number of starts, and the number of payouts are displayed on my data display unit 36 as my data. The “display fixed” button 42 and the “recording end” button 43 (operation means before the end) are displayed on the menu display unit 37.

Next, the login operation is invalidated (S27). That is, when one player is logged in, the log-in operation by another player is prohibited until it is determined that the log-out described later is made.
Next, after recording of my data is started (S28), it is determined whether the "recording end" button 43 is pressed (S29). When the player depresses the "recording end" button 43 to end the recording of my data (S29: YES), a predetermined ending image shown in FIG. 3I is displayed (S30).

Next, it is determined whether the "Yes" button 44 has been pressed (S31: NO) or whether the FeliCa mobile phone 32 has been touched (S32: NO).
When the player touches the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S32: YES), it is determined that the player has ended the game, and a logout start image shown in FIG. 3 (j) is displayed (S33). In this logout start image, a message indicating that the end of recording of my data is being processed is displayed. Next, it is determined whether the user has logged in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S34). If you are logged in with FeliCa mobile phone 32 (S34: YES), you will be logged out with member registered FeliCa mobile phone 32 and then you will be logged out with member registered or unsubscribed FeliCa mobile phone 32, so the pattern described above It specifies that it is any of AC (S35). In this case, only one of the patterns A to C is specified, and one of the patterns A to C is not specified. As described later, when the login time and the logout time are both FeliCa mobile phone 32, the IDm at the login time corresponds to the my data at the login time without determining whether the IDm is the same at the login time and the logout time. It is because

  When not logging in with the FeliCa mobile phone 32, that is, when logging in with the "start" button 39 (S34: NO), the IDm is read (S36), and the IDm is transmitted to the management apparatus 6 (S37). It is determined whether it is done (S38). If the IDm has been registered (S38: YES), it is specified that the pattern F described above is present (S39). In this case, the association destination of the my data is the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 that has logged out. When the IDm is not registered (S38: NO), it is specified that the pattern G is the one described above (S40). In this case, the association destination of my data is the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 at the time of logout.

In the case of pattern G, the logout screen shown in FIG. 3 (n) is displayed. In this logout image, a message indicating that the member is not registered is displayed on the my data display unit 36, and a “close” button 41 is displayed on the menu display unit 37. In this case, since the association destination of the my data is the logged out FeliCa cell phone 32, confirmation of the my data by the FeliCa cell phone 32 becomes possible on condition that member registration is performed by 24:00 on the game day. In the case of the pattern H, the logout image shown in FIG. 3 (k) is displayed. In this logout image, a QR code for member registration is displayed, and a message indicating that the current my data can be stored by displaying the QR code is displayed on the my data display unit 36, and a “close” button 41 Is displayed on the menu display unit 37. Since a URL indicating a home page for member registration is encoded and recorded in the QR code, by imaging the QR code with the FeliCa mobile phone 32, the home page for member registration on the server 34 is accessed and registered as a member. be able to. That is, when login and logout are performed by button operation, since my data can not be associated with the FeliCa cell phone 32, the QR code is associated with the captured ID of the FeliCa cell phone 32. In this case, the URL for member registration is set according to the collected my data, and if connected to the URL specified by the QR code, the ID of FeliCa mobile phone 32 or general mobile phone 35 and the my data corresponding to the URL It becomes possible to correspond.

  Next, after finishing the recording of the my data (S49), the my data (including the unit number, login time, and logout time) and the correspondence destination are transmitted to the management apparatus 6 (S50). The management device 6 transmits the received information to the server 34.

  The server 34 manages my data corresponding to the correspondent based on the information received from the game arcade. In this case, with regard to the pattern H, since the correspondence destination has not yet been identified, it is identified when the player is connected to the URL displayed by imaging the QR code with the FeliCa portable 32 or the general portable 35. Specifically, the ID of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 or the general mobile phone 35 connected to the URL is specified as an association destination, and the ID is associated with my data. In addition, the server 34 excludes the information for which the association of the my data has been completed from the recording of the my data for which the association has not been completed, and also the information whose expiration date (in the present embodiment to the day of 24 o'clock) has ended. delete.

As described above, the management device 6 manages the my data corresponding to the correspondence destination (ID m of the FeliCa mobile phone 32), and the server 34 associates the my data as the correspondence destination (ID of the FeliCa portable 32 or the general mobile phone 35) It can be managed corresponding to In addition to the my data, the server 34 manages platform data and model information, but when the platform data is periodically transmitted from the management device 6, the model information is managed when the model information changes. It will be updated when sent from.
Next, the data display unit 3 validates the login operation (S51). Therefore, after that, it is possible to log in by the next player's login operation.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
In addition to the fact that the data display 3 can perform login (game start) and logout (game end) by button operation, login and logout can also be performed by the FeliCa mobile phone 32, and login and logout can be performed. If one of the logouts is a FeliCa mobile phone 32, the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is associated with my data, and if both are button operations, a QR code is displayed and displayed by imaging the QR code Since my data is associated with the FeliCa mobile phone 32 connected to the URL or the ID of the ordinary mobile phone 35 not having the FeliCa function, it becomes possible to cope with the player carrying the ordinary mobile phone 35 which can not use the FeliCa function. , FeliCa mobile phone 32 and does not have FeliCa function Even when there is a combination of a general mobile phone 35, it is possible to easily provide my data. When logging in, the start image is displayed in response to the "my data" button 40 being pressed. Since it is determined that the player has started playing a game when the "Start" button 39 is pressed or the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is touched, the operation of pressing the "My data" button 40 can be made common, and the player or It can be suppressed that the manager of the game arcade can not understand the operation when determining the start of the game.

  When logging out, when the end image is displayed in response to pressing of the “recording end” button 43, the player presses the “Yes” button 44 or the FeliCa cell phone 32 is touched. Since it is determined that the game has ended, the operation of pressing the "recording end" button 43 can be standardized, and it can be suppressed that the player or the manager of the game arcade can not understand the operation in the case of determining the game end.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be modified or expanded as follows, each modification may be combined with the above embodiment, or each modification may be combined.
The present invention may be applied to a gaming machine different from the illustrated gaming machine, for example, as a pachinko gaming machine, a game medium (balls) circulates internally, and even though adopting an enclosed type that consumes scores and fires the game medium good.

  Although each operation button and the short-distance communication unit 31 are provided in the data display 3, some or all of the functions can be provided in another device. For example, a configuration is conceivable in which part or all of each function is provided to the gaming machine 1 or the lending machine 2. Besides, it may be provided in a device different from the device exemplifying each function. For example, although the IDm of the FeliCa mobile phone 32 is configured to be stored in the management device 6, it is also possible to be stored in the data display 3. .

  Although the configuration is such that the game information is collected by the management device 6, the data may be collected by the island management device, or the device for collecting may be changed. For example, game information in which game information has been totalized in part or all of the data display 3, relay device 4 and server 34 may be browsed by a mobile phone. In this configuration, it is preferable that identification of information of a signal for tallying game information output from the gaming machine 1 or the lending machine 2 or the like is made possible by an apparatus for tallying game information.

Although QR code was displayed as code information, it is also possible to use other codes, such as a barcode.
Although the game information is configured to be confirmed by the mobile phone using the server 34, data of the game information may be directly transmitted to the mobile phone.

Although the configuration is such that the login (or logout) by the mobile phone or the button operation is performed on the same screen, the login screen by the mobile phone and the login screen by the button operation may be different.
Although a mobile phone is used as a mobile terminal, if it is a terminal owned by a player, an apparatus different from the mobile phone may be adopted. For example, a tablet terminal without a call function may be used. It is possible.

  Although the game information is browsed by the mobile phone, the game information may be browsed by other devices. In this case, the game information may be output in association with the IDm, and the game information may be confirmed on a device associated with the IDm or a site on the WEB associated with the IDm.

  The communication method between the portable telephone and the data display 3 may be arbitrarily changed. For example, as the short distance communication, it is also possible to use a noncontact short distance communication method different from FeliCa. In addition, it is also possible to connect a mobile phone directly by wire and read a mobile ID (ID capable of specifying a mobile phone). That is, communication by wired connection is also included in the short distance communication. Furthermore, it is also possible to adopt the Internet 33 as a communication method. Furthermore, it is also possible to specify the mobile telephone by the telephone number of the mobile telephone, in which case the telephone number corresponds to the identification information.

  The association between my data and IDm may be performed by an apparatus different from the data display 3. For example, a configuration may be considered in which the management apparatus 6 receives the IDm and the my data and then associates the IDm and the my data. The reception timing of the IDm and the my data may be simultaneous, or the IDm may be received at the time of reception of the mobile phone, and the my data may be different at the time of logout, for example. Further, in the present configuration, when the data display 3 outputs the machine number in order to associate the IDm with the my data, the management apparatus 6 can easily associate the IDm with the my data. Such a configuration also corresponds to outputting game information so as to be associated with identification information.

The information that can be browsed by the registered mobile phone is not limited to the my data of the player who holds the mobile phone. For example, as long as the mobile phone is registered, another user's my data may be browsed.
Although the server 34 manages game information of a specific game arcade, the server 34 may manage game information received from a plurality of game arcades of a group.
