Now, FIG. 2 schematically shows the contents of control by the microcomputer 23, and this will be explained below along with related operations.

That is, when the timing pulse Ps transmitted from the terminal device 1 is inputted manually, the microcomputer 23 controls the timing pulse Ps transmitted from the terminal device 1 to
When power is supplied to the control circuit 10 of the terminal device 1 in response to the timing pulse Ps being set to either a or 16b, the memory circuit 1 is transmitted following the timing pulse Ps.
The stored data of 1 is sequentially read (step AI, A2).

Next, it is determined whether the set terminal device 1 is valid or successful (step A3). This judgment is based on the system code in the data read in step A2.

In this case, the terminal device 1 is configured to return a storage completion signal Swr when the rewriting of the entry/exit flag IF and the amount data M as described above is completed. In this case, if the admission fee is different for adults and children, the amount reduced from the above amount data M is based on the distinction between adults and children indicated by the type code in the data read from the terminal device 1. It is sufficient to have a different configuration.

Therefore, in the microcomputer 23, it is necessary to judge whether or not the storage completion signal Swr is input in step A.
9), while the non-input state continues, it waits for a certain period of time T (step A10). After that, if the storage completion signal Swr is not input even after a certain period of time T has elapsed, a message indicating that the terminal device 1 needs to be reset again is displayed on the display device t17, and at the same time the buzzer 22 is activated. to prompt the user to pay attention to the display device 17 (step A11).
.

Then, in step A12) to wait for a predetermined time in such a display state, and when the waiting time has elapsed, to initialize the display and stop driving the buzzer 22 (step A1).
3), then return to step A1.

When the storage completion signal Swr is input (rYESJ in step A9), the entry date and time data signal Sx indicating the date and current time of the day and the new visitor counting signal Sl are sent to the externally provided data aggregation device 24. output step A14), then output one pulse of the open command signal Sop to the entrance gate device 13, and step A14).

Here, the entrance/exit flag IF of the terminal device 1 carried by the user who has entered once is set to "1" according to the execution of step A7.
Therefore, if the user sets the terminal device 1 to the data processing device 14 in order to re-enter after temporarily exiting as described below, rN is changed in step A7.
It comes to be judged as OJ. At this time, in the microcomputer 23, the entry date and time data signal Sx
and output the signal S2 for counting re-entrants to the data aggregation device 24 (step A16), and then step A1B).
is executed to open the entrance gate device 13.

In short, in the data processing device 14, when a valid terminal device 1 is set, the amount data M stored in the terminal device 1 is reduced by the entrance fee m1, and then The device 13 is opened to allow the user carrying the terminal device 1 into the park, and if the user is a new entrant, a signal S1 for counting new entrants (this is sent to the park through the terminal device 1, where the admission fee ml is paid data) and entry date/time data signal Sx are sent to the data aggregation device 24, and if the person is a re-entering person, the re-entering person counting signal S2 and entry date/time data signal Sx are data aggregated. The information is sent to the device 24. It should be noted that, when opening the entrance gate device 13, the display device 17 may display a message to the effect that the entrance fee ml will be deducted from the amount data M of the terminal device 1.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 25 denotes a gate device for amusement facilities (only one device is shown) installed at the entrance to each paid amusement facility in the amusement park.

That is, the microcomputer 33 controls the terminal device 1 when the timing pulse Ps transmitted from the terminal device 1 is lost manually, that is, when the terminal device 1 is set in the terminal setting section of the data processing device 26. When power is applied to the circuit 10, the data stored in the storage circuit 11 transmitted following the timing pulse Ps is sequentially read (steps B1 and B2).

Next, whether or not the set terminal device 1 is valid is determined based on the system code, identification code, expiration date, and amount data M in the data read in step B2 (step B3), and if it is determined to be invalid. In step B, the cause of the invalidation is displayed on the display device 29, and at the same time, the buzzer 32 is activated to notify that the terminal device 1 is invalid.

Such a display and notification state is also performed for a predetermined standby time (step BIO), and when the standby time has elapsed, the display is initialized and the driving of the buzzer 32 is stopped (step B11), and then step B
Return to 1.

If the displayed amount data M is more than the facility usage fee m2 (rYEsJ in step B8), a facility code signal Sa specific to the gaming facility and an entrance fee subtraction command are sent to the terminal device 1 through the transmitting/receiving circuit 31a or 31b. A signal is transmitted (step B12).

Then, in the terminal device 1, the control circuit O or the storage circuit 11 stores the facility code signal Sa, and the amount data M stored in the storage circuit 11 is decreased by the facility usage fee m. It becomes like this. In this case, terminal device 1
When the storage of the facility code signal Sa and the rewriting of the amount data M as described above are completed, a storage completion signal Sw is generated.
The configuration is such that r is returned by return.

In step 8, the microcomputer 33 judges whether or not the storage completion signal Swr is input.
13), while the non-input state continues, it waits for a certain period of time T (step B14). If the storage completion signal Sνr is not activated even after a certain period of time T has elapsed, a message indicating that the terminal device 1 needs to be reset is displayed on the display device 29, and at the same time the buzzer 32 is activated to prompt the user. is the display device 29
(Step B15). Then, in step B1 to wait for a predetermined time in such a display state.
6), when the standby time has elapsed, initialize the display and stop driving the buzzer 32 (Step B17);
After this, the process returns to step A1.

When the storage completion signal Svr is input (step 81B
In step B18), the amount M displayed on the display device 29 is changed to the amount obtained by subtracting the facility usage fee m2.
, outputs the facility code signal Sa and the user counting signal S3 to the data aggregation device 24 (step B19).

Next, one pulse of the oven command signal Sop is output to the gaming facility gate device 25, and the display device 2
Initialize the display of step B20.9. B21), after which the process returns to step B1. Then, the gaming facility gate device 25 is opened, and thereby the user who has set the terminal device 1 in the data processing device 26 is allowed to enter the paid gaming facility.

In short, in the data processing device 26, when a terminal device 1 is set that is valid and stores amount data M that is equal to or more than the usage fee m2 of a paid facility, the terminal device 1
The amount data M stored in is reduced by the facility usage fee m2, and the gaming facility gate device 25 is opened to allow the user carrying the terminal device 1 to enter.
At the same time, the data aggregation device 24 sends the facility code signal Sa that can identify the gaming facility (this is consideration data indicating that the facility usage fee m2 has been paid through the terminal device 1) and the user counting signal S3. It is to be sent to.
