Reservation management computer 1 having a storage area in this way
The process is as follows: FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the reservation management computer 1. First, WP representing the number of waiting groups is initialized (n
l). After that, when a representative note name is input from the keyboard 2, it is read and stored in the representative note name storage area shown in FIG. 2, and its time is stored in the reception time storage area (n3- =n4-n5). At that time, it is stored in the area of the rank indicated by WP. After that W
P'r: Add 1 (n6). When the membership card is inserted, read the code number, search the member registration data, and read the name (n7-n8
). If there is communication from the lane management computer 5, the data is received. This is the vacant lane number transferred from the lane management computer 5 when the lane becomes vacant after the competition ends (n9-=nlo). When an empty lane occurs like this, it is recorded in the storage device.

... Once this shift process is completed, the number of groups waiting in line wp
is subtracted by 1 (n 13).

Through the above processing, the received data is stored and updated,
As shown in FIGS. 3(A) and 3(B), the representative note name, reception time, and order are displayed.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the lane management computer 5 shown in FIG.

First, if there is no key manpower, the empty status of each lane is checked (nl-n2). This empty state check is performed based on data transferred from the score computer, which will be described later. If there is a vacant lane, the vacant lane number is transferred to the reservation management computer 1 (n3-n4). Thereafter, it waits for data to be sent from the reservation management computer 1.

This is data such as the competition note name transferred from the reservation management computer 1 by processing nil in FIG. 4. When this is received, the data is transferred to the score computer 8 in the empty lane (n5-*06). . When the lane number and the message to be transferred are input by operating the keyboard 6, this is transferred to the score computer of the specified lane (n7-n8). This allows the lane management device to independently transfer data to the score computer of a predetermined lane.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart 1- showing the processing procedure of the score computer 8 shown in FIG. First, data is received (δ) from the lane management computer (nl). This data is the data transferred by the process of n6 in FIG. After that, the competition starts, scores are processed, and the progress of the competition is transferred to the lane management computer (n2-=n3).Therefore, if the key operation to end the competition is performed on the keyboard 10, the above-mentioned The lane management computer 5 recognizes that the lane has become an empty lane.
