Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment according to the disclosed technology will be described with reference to the drawings. In each of the embodiments below, a case where the facility of the disclosed technology is a casino will be described as an example.

<First embodiment>
A user using a casino hall holds a user card equipped with an IC chip on which user identification information (hereinafter referred to as "user ID") is recorded. The user ID is, for example, the My Number of the user who uses the casino place, or a number issued for using the casino place based on the My Number.

The entry/exit gate of a casino venue is provided with an IC chip reader for entry and exit, and a control device for controlling opening/closing of the gate. When entering, the user holds his/her user card over the entry reader. As a result, the reading device reads the user ID from the user card, associates the read user ID with the entry/exit classification "Entrance", and transfers the result to the control device. Similarly, when leaving the venue, the user holds his/her user card over the exit reading device. Thereby, the reading device associates the user ID with the entry/exit classification "exit" and passes it to the control device.

In addition, when the entrance/exit classification indicates "entrance", the control device of the entrance/exit gate controls whether the corresponding user enters the casino venue based on entrance/exit information stored in the entrance/exit DB 20 of the information processing device 10, which will be described later. In order to do so, it is determined whether or not billing is necessary. In order to enter the casino venue, it is assumed that charges must be paid in predetermined time units. In this embodiment, the predetermined time will be described as 24 hours.

Specifically, the control device determines that charging is required if 24 hours have passed since the most recent entry associated with charging, and determines that charging is not required if 24 hours have not elapsed. . If charging is required, the control device opens the entrance/exit gate on the condition that charging is confirmed, and if charging is not required, the control device opens the entrance/exit gate as is.

Furthermore, when the entry/exit classification indicates "exit", the entrance/exit gate control device opens the entrance/exit gate upon reading the user card.

The control device outputs to the information processing device 10 the user ID and entry/exit classification read by the reading device, and a billing flag indicating whether billing is required. For example, the charging flag is set to "1" when there is a charge, and "0" when no charge is required.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 10 receives a user ID, an entry/exit classification, and a charging flag output from a control device of an entrance/exit gate.

Further, the information processing device 10 functionally includes a recording section 12 and an output section 14, as shown in FIG. Further, an entry/exit DB (Database) 20 is stored in a predetermined storage area of the information processing device 10.

The recording unit 12 associates the entered user ID, entry/exit category, and billing flag with the date and time of entry/exit to the casino venue for each user as entry/exit information, and stores entry/exit information as shown in FIG. 2, for example. It is stored in the exit DB 20. The date and time of entry/exit can be the date and time when the user ID, entry/exit classification, and billing flag are input to the information processing device 10. Further, the date and time when the user card was read by a reading device at the entrance gate or a charging device installed in the casino venue may be acquired together with the user ID, entry/exit classification, and charging flag.

The output unit 14 refers to the entry/exit DB 20 and outputs information urging exit from the casino venue or recharging to the user card before 24 hours have elapsed from the date and time of entry/exit information associated with charging. do.

As shown in FIG. 3, the user card 30 includes an information display area 32 in which information output from the output unit 14 is displayed. Further, the user card 30 may include a display 34 of user information such as the user's name and user ID, a photograph 36 of the user's face, and the like. Further, as described above, the user card 30 has an IC chip 38 embedded therein in which the user ID is recorded.

For example, the output unit 14 specifies, for each user, the most recent entry/exit information among the entry/exit information associated with billing, that is, the entry/exit information with a billing flag of "1" in the entry/exit DB 20. The output unit 14 outputs a message that a certain time (for example, 1 hour) before a date and time that is 24 hours after the date and time of the specified entry/exit information, ``In 1 hour, the stay will be 24 hours, and an additional fee (¥6,000) will be charged. Outputs information that prompts for billing, such as "Required." The output unit 14 may also output information urging the user to leave, such as "Please leave in one hour."

As described above, information is output based on the elapsed time from the date and time of entry/exit information associated with billing. As a result, as shown in Figure 4, even if you leave the casino once and re-enter before 24 hours have passed since the entry associated with the charge, you will not be required to leave or re-pay. The time can be appropriately notified to the user. The timing of outputting the information prompting re-charging is not necessarily limited to before 24 hours have elapsed; for example, it may be output before 48 or 72 hours have elapsed in case of staying over multiple days. good.

Further, the CPU 41 operates as the output unit 14 shown in FIG. 1 by executing the output process 54. Further, the CPU 41 reads information from the information storage area 60 and develops the entrance/exit DB 20 in the memory 42 . Thereby, the computer 40 that has executed the information processing program 50 functions as the information processing device 10. Note that the CPU 41 that executes the program is hardware.

Note that the functions realized by the information processing program 50 can also be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

Next, the operation of the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment will be explained.

Each time a user ID, entry/exit classification, and charging flag are input to the information processing device 10, the recording unit 12 associates the user ID, entry/exit classification, and charging flag with the date and time of entry/exit to the casino venue. Entrance/exit information is recorded in the entrance/exit DB 20. Then, when the entrance/exit information associated with charging is stored in the entrance/exit DB 20, that is, the entrance/exit information with the charging flag set to "1", the information processing routine shown in FIG. executed every time. Note that the information processing routine is an example of the information processing method of the disclosed technology.

In step S12, the output unit 14 specifies the date and time of entry/exit information whose billing flag is "1" that is most recently stored in the entry/exit DB 20, that is, the date and time of entry with which billing is associated.

Next, in step S14, the output unit 14 sets a certain time before the date and time (for example, one hour) that is 24 hours after the date and time of admission associated with the specified charge as the information output time. .

Next, in step S16, the output unit 14 determines whether the output time set in step S14 has arrived. If the output time has come, the process moves to step S18, and if the output time has not come, the determination in this step is repeated.

In step S18, the output unit 14 outputs information to the user card 30 prompting the user to leave the casino or to repay the fee, and the information processing routine ends.

As explained above, the information processing device according to the first embodiment determines, for each user, the date and time of entry to the casino venue and whether or not there is a charge for admission to the casino venue that is required in units of a predetermined time. , refers to the entry/exit DB stored in association with the user ID.

This notifies the user that the remaining time that they can continue to stay at the casino venue if they do not make a charge is a certain amount of time, that is, the remaining time that they can stay at the casino venue according to the billing conditions. I can do it.

In the first embodiment, a case has been described in which information is output once before a certain time on a date and time that is a predetermined time after the date and time of admission to a casino place associated with charge, but the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 7, information may be output every time a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the entry associated with the charge.

Furthermore, the information presented to the user is not limited to messages. The example in FIG. 7 shows an example in which the color of the information display area 32 of the user card 30 is changed depending on the elapsed time from the date and time of admission to the casino venue associated with the charge.

<Second embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment will be described. Note that in the information processing apparatus according to the second embodiment, the same parts as those in the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 8, the information processing system 200 according to the second embodiment includes information processing devices 210A, 210B, and 210C disposed in each of a plurality of casino places, and a system that allows users to enter each of the plurality of casino places. and a management device 70 that manages each. In the example of FIG. 8, the information processing system 200 includes an information processing device 210A located in casino A, an information processing device 210B located in casino B, and an information processing device 210C located in casino C. However, the number of information processing devices is not limited to the example of FIG. The information processing system 200 may include one, two, or four or more information processing devices. Below, when describing the information processing devices 210A, 210B, and 210C without distinction, they will simply be referred to as "information processing device 210."

Information processing device 210 functionally includes a recording section 12, a transmitting section 16, and an output section 214, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, an entry/exit DB 20 is stored in a predetermined storage area of the information processing device 210.

The transmitter 16 adds casino hall identification information (hereinafter referred to as The charging admission information to which a "casino ID" (referred to as "casino ID") has been added is transmitted to the management device 70.

Similar to the output unit 14 in the first embodiment, the output unit 214 refers to the entrance/exit DB 20 and determines whether or not to leave the casino venue or not before 24 hours have elapsed from the date and time of the entrance/exit information associated with billing. Information prompting recharging is output to the user card 30.

Further, the output unit 214 transmits a request for the number of times of admission including the user ID of the user to the management device 70 when the user enters the casino hall with associated charges. The number of times of admission in this embodiment is the total number of times of admission to each of a plurality of casino venues within the most recent predetermined period. The output unit 214 acquires the number of admissions transmitted from the management device 70 in response to a request, calculates the maximum stay time at the casino venue where the user has entered based on the acquired number of admissions, and Output to card 30.

Specifically, the output unit 214 calculates the remaining number of possible admissions based on the acquired number of admissions and a predetermined upper limit of the number of admissions. The output unit 214 calculates the possible stay time by converting the obtained number of allowed admissions into predetermined time units (here, 24 hour units).

For example, the upper limit of the number of times of admission is set to 3 times in the most recent 7 days, and 10 times in the most recent 28 days. In this case, the output unit 214 acquires the number of admissions in the last seven days and the number of admissions in the last 28 days from the management device 70. Then, the output unit 214 calculates the lesser of the number of admissions obtained by subtracting the number of admissions in the last 7 days from 3 times and the number of admissions in the most recent 28 days from 10 times as the remaining number of possible admissions. . Furthermore, the output unit 214 calculates the obtained number of allowed admissions times 24 hours as the possible stay time.

Furthermore, the output unit 214 calculates the remaining possible stay time based on the calculated possible stay time and the elapsed time from the date and time of admission to the casino venue associated with the charge. The output unit 214 outputs the remaining possible stay time to the user card 30 when the calculated remaining possible stay time is equal to or less than a certain time.

Functionally, the management device 70 includes a management section 72, a totalization section 74, and a transmission section 76, as shown in FIG. Further, a predetermined storage area of the management device 70 stores a charging entry DB 82 and an entry number DB 84.

The management unit 72 stores the billing admission information transmitted from the information processing device 210 of each casino venue in a billing admission DB 82 as shown in FIG. 11, for example.

The totaling unit 74 periodically totals the charging admission information stored in the charging admission DB 82 for each user, and totals the number of admissions to the casino venue within the most recent predetermined period. In the above example, the counting unit 74 counts the number of admissions in the last seven days and the number of admissions in the last 28 days. The totaling unit 74 stores the total number of admissions for each user in the number of admissions DB 84 as shown in FIG. 12, for example.

When the transmitting unit 76 receives a request for the number of times of admission including the user ID from the information processing device 210, it reads out the number of times of admission stored in association with the user ID included in the received request for the number of times of admission from the number of admissions DB 84. The transmitter 76 then transmits the read number of admissions to the information processing device 210 that has transmitted the request for the number of admissions.

The information processing device 210 can be implemented, for example, by the computer 40 shown in FIG. The storage unit 43 of the computer 40 stores an information processing program 250 for causing the computer 40 to function as the information processing device 210. The information processing program 250 includes a recording process 52, a sending process 56, and an output process 254. Furthermore, the storage unit 43 has an information storage area 60 in which information forming the entrance/exit DB 20 is stored.

The CPU 41 reads the information processing program 250 from the storage unit 43, expands it into the memory 42, and sequentially executes the processes included in the information processing program 250. The CPU 41 operates as the recording unit 12 shown in FIG. 9 by executing the recording process 52. Further, the CPU 41 operates as the transmitting unit 16 shown in FIG. 9 by executing the transmitting process 56. Further, the CPU 41 operates as the output unit 214 shown in FIG. 9 by executing the output process 254. Further, the CPU 41 reads information from the information storage area 60 and develops the entrance/exit DB 20 in the memory 42 . Thereby, the computer 40 that has executed the information processing program 250 will function as the information processing device 210.

Note that the functions realized by the information processing program 250 can also be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an ASIC.

The management device 70 can be realized, for example, by a computer 90 shown in FIG. 13. The computer 90 includes a CPU 91, a memory 92 as a temporary storage area, and a nonvolatile storage section 93. The computer 90 also includes an input/output device 94 such as an input section and a display section, an R/W section 95 that controls reading and writing of data to and from a storage medium 99, and a communication I/F 96 that is connected to a network such as the Internet. Equipped with The CPU 91, memory 92, storage section 93, input/output device 94, R/W section 95, and communication I/F 96 are connected to each other via a bus 97.

The storage unit 93 can be realized by an HDD, SSD, flash memory, or the like. A management program 100 for causing the computer 90 to function as the management device 70 is stored in the storage unit 93 as a storage medium.

Thereby, the computer 90 that has executed the management program 100 will function as the management device 70. Note that the CPU 91 that executes the program is hardware.

Note that the functions realized by the management program 100 can also be realized by, for example, a semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, an ASIC.

Next, the operation of the information processing system 200 according to the second embodiment will be explained.

Each time a user ID, entry/exit classification, and billing flag are input to the information processing device 210, the recording unit 12 records entry/exit information in the entry/exit DB 20. Further, the transmitting unit 16 transmits to the management device 70 billing entry information in which the casino ID of the casino venue is added to the entry/exit information associated with billing, that is, the entry/exit information with the billing flag set to “1”. . Then, when the entrance/exit information associated with charging is stored in the entrance/exit DB 20, that is, the entrance/exit information with the charging flag set to "1", the information processing device 210 executes the first information processing routine and FIG. A second information processing routine shown in is executed for each user. Note that the first information processing routine and the second information processing routine are examples of the information processing method of the disclosed technology.

On the other hand, in the management device 70, each time the management unit 72 receives the charging admission information transmitted from the information processing device 210, the management unit 72 stores the received charging admission information in the charging admission DB 82. Further, in the management device 70, a totalization processing routine shown in FIG. 16 is executed at regular timing. Furthermore, when the management device 70 receives a request for the number of admissions including the user ID from the information processing device 210, the transmission processing routine shown in FIG. 17 is executed in the management device 70.

Each of the second information processing routine, aggregation processing routine, and transmission processing routine will be described in detail below. Note that the first information processing routine is the same as the information processing routine (FIG. 6) in the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.

First, the second information processing routine shown in FIG. 14 will be explained.

In step S22, the output unit 214 transmits an admission frequency request including the user ID of the user to the management device 70. Then, the output unit 214 obtains the number of admissions transmitted from the management device 70 in response to the request.

Next, in step S24, the output unit 214 calculates the remaining number of possible admissions based on the acquired number of admissions and a predetermined upper limit of the number of admissions. Then, the output unit 214 calculates the obtained number of allowed admissions times 24 hours as the possible stay time.

Next, in step S26, the output unit 214 outputs the calculated stay time to the user card 30 of the user.

Next, in step S28, the output unit 214 outputs the remaining time (for example, one hour) before the date and time that is after the allowed stay time calculated in step S24 from the date and time of admission associated with the charge. Set as the output time of the available stay time.

Next, in step S30, the output unit 214 determines whether the output time set in step S28 has arrived. If the output time has come, the process moves to step S32, and if the output time has not come, the determination in this step is repeated.

In step S32, the output unit 214 outputs to the user card 30 that the remaining available stay time is a predetermined time ago (for example, one hour ago), and the second information processing routine ends.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, for the user whose user ID is U001 (hereinafter referred to as "user 1"), the remaining number of times the user can enter is two, so the possible stay time is calculated as 48 hours. Furthermore, for the user whose user ID is U002 (hereinafter referred to as "user 2"), the remaining number of times the user can enter is one time, so the possible stay time is calculated as 24 hours.

In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, at the time of admission (8/3 0:00) associated with the charge, user 1 is sent a message (see FIG. 121) out of 15 are presented. Furthermore, a message (122 in FIG. 15) is presented to the user 2 to the effect that the available stay time is 24 hours. Then, one hour before 8/5 0:00, a message (123 in FIG. 15) indicating that the remaining time available for stay is one hour is presented to user 1. Further, one hour before 0:00 on 8/4, a message (124 in FIG. 15) indicating that the remaining time available for stay is one hour is presented to user 2. In this way, it is possible to present an appropriate length of stay for each user according to the remaining number of times the user can enter.

Note that the information output by the first information processing routine (FIG. 6) and the output of the remaining allowable stay time may overlap in some cases. In this case, even if the charge is made again, it is not possible to stay longer than the remaining available stay time, so the remaining available stay time may be displayed preferentially.

Next, the aggregation processing routine shown in FIG. 16 will be explained.

In step S42, the aggregation unit 74 calculates, for each user, the number of charging admission information whose date is within the past 7 days, which is stored in the charging admission DB 82, for the most recent 7 days. It is counted as the number of admissions. Then, the counting unit 74 stores the number of entries in the last seven days in the "Number of entries (last seven days)" column corresponding to the "user ID" of the user in the number of entries DB 84.

Next, in step S44, the aggregation unit 74 calculates, for each user, the number of charging admission information whose dates are included within the past 28 days from the current point in time, stored in the charging admission DB 82. It will be counted as the number of admissions over 28 days. Then, the counting unit 74 stores the number of entries in the last 28 days in the "Number of entries (last 28 days)" column corresponding to the "user ID" of the user in the number of entries DB 84. Then, the aggregation processing routine ends.

Next, the transmission processing routine shown in FIG. 17 will be explained.

In step S52, the transmitter 76 reads out the number of admissions stored in the number of admissions DB 84 in association with the user ID included in the request for the number of admissions received from the information processing device 210.

Next, in step S54, the transmitter 76 transmits the read number of admissions to the information processing device 210 that sent the request for the number of admissions, and the transmission process ends.

As explained above, the information processing device according to the second embodiment, when a user enters a casino place associated with billing, based on the number of times the user has entered the casino place in the immediate vicinity period. Outputs the calculated length of stay at the casino venue. This makes it possible to notify users of an appropriate length of time they can stay, depending on the number of times each user has entered to date.

Furthermore, by notifying the user of the remaining stay time before the end of the stay limit, it is possible to notify the user of the appropriate stay limit time.

In the second embodiment, a case has been described in which the remaining available stay time is output once a certain time before the date and time after the available stay time from the date and time of admission to the casino venue with which the charge is associated. It is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 18, the remaining available stay time may be output every time a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the entry associated with the charge.

Furthermore, the available stay time and remaining available time to be presented to the user are not limited to the case where they are presented in a message. For example, the color of the information display area 32 of the user card 30 may be changed depending on the length of the available stay time and the remaining available stay time.

Further, in the second embodiment, a case has been described in which the management device totals the number of times each user has entered, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if the information processing device acquires the past 28 days' worth of charging admission information from the management device when the user enters a casino venue that is associated with charging, the information processing device totalizes the number of times the user has entered the casino. good.

Furthermore, in the second embodiment, a case has been described in which both the information output by the first information processing routine (FIG. 6) and the output of the stay time and the remaining available stay time are executed. The output of the available stay time may be executed independently.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the case where the entrance/exit information is recorded by the information processing device has been described, but the invention is not limited to this. Good too. In this case, the output unit of the information processing device may refer to the entrance/exit DB in which entrance/exit information is recorded by another device and execute the processes of each of the embodiments described above.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, a user card is used as an example of an output device that outputs information, but the output device is not limited to this. For example, an application that operates on a smartphone or tablet terminal held by a user, or a wearable device such as a wristwatch type may be used as the output device.
