Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The invention centrally manages and stores data such as sales in pachinko halls, and outputs the stored data as necessary. The present invention relates to an improvement of a centralized control device for pachinko halls.

(Prior Art) A central control device for pachinko halls is mainly composed of a computer, and it is used to manage the number of out balls, safe balls, and number of rental balls for each of a large number of pachinko game machines. Based on this, the system is configured to centrally aggregate, manage and store sales data within pachinko halls. The stored data can be printed out by external operation using operation keys, if necessary.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, in the case of conventional central control devices for pachinko halls, the stored data can be printed out at any time as long as there is an operation key. It is difficult to maintain the confidentiality of sales data, and pachinko hall owners are demanding improvements to these problems.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a centralized management device for a pachinko parlor which is configured to easily output data such as sales data, while having the advantage of being able to sufficiently maintain the confidentiality of that data.

[Structure of the invention] (Means and effects for solving the problems) The central control device for pachinko halls according to the invention is provided with a time management circuit unit that generates a prohibition signal during a predetermined time interval set in advance, and A discrimination circuit unit is provided that generates an output permission signal only when the code is input, and during the period in which the prohibition signal is generated, output of data such as sales in the pachinko hall is permitted only when the output permission signal is generated. This configuration allows the data to be output during a predetermined period of time only when a code that is not likely to be known to a third party is input.

(Embodiment) The figure shows a block diagram of an electrical configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1, 1, ... are a large number of pachinko game machines installed in a pachinko hall, and the output terminal a of each pachinko game machine 1 outputs the number of balls out (number of balls hit) for each pachinko game machine. Similarly, a signal indicating the number of safe balls (number of prize balls) for each pachinko game machine is output from the output terminal b. 2, 2, . . . are a large number of ball rental machines installed in a pachinko pachinko hall, from which signals indicating the number of rental balls are output. Reference numeral 3 denotes an arithmetic unit including a computer, which is provided to receive output signals from the pachinko game machine 1 and the ball rental machine 2. Then, the calculation device 3 calculates data such as the income and expenditure for each pachinko game machine 1 (specifically, the number of out balls, the number of safe balls, the number of difference balls, the number of stops, etc.) based on the input signal. The total number of balls rented out by each ball rental machine 2 is accumulated, and the sales data in the pachinko hall is aggregated based on such calculations and cumulative results, and the total results are stored in the storage device 4 together with the calculations and cumulative results. It is composed of Note that the storage device 4
is configured to be able to initialize stored data in response to a signal input to the clear terminal CL.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a time management circuit section including a clock, which generates a prohibition signal Sa consisting of a logical value "0" signal during a predetermined time period, for example, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. do. Reference numeral 6 denotes a key switch that includes a so-called numeric keypad corresponding to 10 numbers from "0" to "9", and is used to enter a predetermined code, such as a 4-digit PIN number, and to input the above-mentioned calculations. It is provided for inputting data, reference values, etc. that are the basis of the calculations of the circuit 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a discrimination circuit section provided to receive the output of the key switch 6, which compares the password input via the key switch 6 with a pre-stored proper number, and only when the two numbers match, it outputs "1". An output permission signal Sb consisting of a signal is generated. Reference numeral 8 denotes an operation circuit section, which selects a command signal for controlling the operation of the arithmetic unit 3, a print command signal Sc and a clear signal Sd each consisting of a "1" signal, in response to the operation of an operation key (not shown). It is configured so that it can be output intuitively. In this case, the clear signal Sd is applied to the clear terminal CL of the storage device 4, so that the data stored in the storage device 4 can be initialized as appropriate.

Now, 9 is a control circuit section, which will be described below. Reference numeral 10 denotes a data reading circuit, which is configured to read the stored data in the storage device 4 when receiving a "1" signal at the enable terminal E, and print out the read data on the printer 11. 12 and 13 are
The AND circuit 12 receives the output permission signal Sb from the discrimination circuit section 7 at one input terminal and receives the prohibition signal Sa from the time management circuit section 5 at the other input terminal via the inverter 14. It is set up like this. Moreover, the AND circuit 13 is
Both input terminals are provided to receive a prohibition signal Sa from the time management circuit section 5 and a print command signal Sc from the operation circuit section 8, respectively. And these
Each output of AND circuits 12 and 13 is connected to OR circuit 15
The signal is applied to the enable terminal E of the data readout circuit 10 via the data readout circuit 10.

According to the above configuration, when a "1" signal is applied to the enable terminal E of the data reading circuit 10, the data stored in the storage device 4, that is, data such as sales in the pachinko hall, is printed out by the printer 11. It is becoming more and more common. In this case, during the period when the prohibition signal Sa consisting of a "0" signal is output from the time management circuit section 5 (period from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.), the AND circuit 13 controls the output from the operation circuit section 8. It appears that passage is blocked. Therefore, during this period, the print command signal Sc from the operating circuit section 8 is not input to the enable terminal E of the data reading circuit 10, and the data stored in the storage device 4 is not printed out by the operating circuit section 8. It is something that cannot be done. On the other hand, during the above period, the prohibition signal Sa is applied to the inverter 1.
4, it is inverted to a “1” signal and sent to the AND circuit 12.
, the AND circuit 12 is in a state allowing the output from the discrimination circuit section 7. Therefore, during the above period, when a proper password is input from the key switch 6, "1" is output from the discrimination circuit section 7.
When the output permission signal Sb consisting of a signal is output, the output permission signal Sb is output to the AND circuit 12 and
It is applied to the enable terminal E of the data read circuit 10 via the OR circuit 15. That is, during a predetermined period of time set in advance, data such as sales in the pachinko hall stored in the storage device 4 can be printed out only when a proper password is input. Therefore, by keeping the password secret, data such as pachinko hall sales can be kept confidential. Of course, in this case, the stored data can be output simply by inputting the password, so the output operation can be performed easily. Furthermore, during a period other than the above-mentioned predetermined time period, the stored data can be printed out using the print command signal Sc from the operation circuit section 8; If there is an operation required to obtain the data and the data must be kept confidential, the owner can initialize it in the meantime.

In the embodiment described above, the set time of the time management circuit section 5 may be configured so that it can be changed, for example, in response to the operation of the key switch 6 accompanied by the input of a password.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, as is clear from the above explanation, data such as sales in pachinko halls can be centrally managed and stored, and the stored data can be output in response to external operations. In the centralized control device for pachinko halls, the above-mentioned storage data can be easily output, but
This has the practical effect of sufficiently maintaining the confidentiality of the stored data.
