Next, an outline of a procedure for adjusting Mahjong scores using the above device will be described.

1) Payment of points (transfer) operation There are several methods for transferring points as shown in Fig. 6 by operating the keys of the operating means A. In either case, 100 points of the payment point confirmation display key are displayed. By pressing the 1,000-point key, the transfer points are confirmed. When the transfer points are confirmed, the transfer points of each athlete are additionally displayed on the common display 10,
The payment (minus) symbol before the transfer points displayed on the individual display 3 blinks. For example, in the case of transfer of 3900 points, the method of FIG. 6 (a) uses the numeric keys 3 and 9 and the 100-point key, and the method of FIG. 6 (b) requires pressing the 1,000-point key three times. When the number key and the hundred-point key of 9 are pressed, the method of FIG. 6 (c) is the number key of 3, the 1,000-point key, the 9-key
This is the case of using the number keys and the hundred-point key respectively.

2) Receiving operation of points There are two ways to receive points, one is the winner and the recipient receives it alone, and the other is the recipient who receives the winners. In the case of single reception, it is as shown in FIG. For example, when the transfer person transfers 15,000 points, the transferer's individual display 3 blinks with a minus sign and 1
While the transfer points of 5000 points are displayed, only the transfer points are displayed on the common display 10, and when receiving these points alone, the all-in key A may be pressed. Then, the control means B makes a settlement for the receipt, the 15,000 points displayed on the common display 10 are displayed on the individual display 3 of the recipient and the display on the common display 10 is erased, and the control means B is the transfer person. And the change in the number of points of the payee is calculated (addition / subtraction) and the changed value is stored, and the blinking of the minus sign in the individual display 3 of the transfer person is stopped until the transfer point remains as it is until the opportunity to receive the next point occurs. It is displayed (similar to the display of the number of points received by the recipient). On the other hand, when there are a plurality of recipients, the procedure is as shown in FIG. For example, when the common display 10 displays 3000 points and there are two recipients, when one recipient presses the 1,000-point key U for receiving, the individual display 3 displays the number of 1500 receiving points. At the same time, the display on the common display 10 is subtracted and displayed at 1500 points. Then, when the other payee performs a similar operation of designating the number of points to be received, the number of points to be received of 1500 is displayed on the individual display 3, and the display of the number of points to be paid 1500 displayed on the common display 10 is erased. It is the same as above that the calculation processing of the variation of the score of the athlete is performed after the completion of the settlement of the score.
Note that the number of points received by the recipient is the same as the common display 10
If the number of payment points shown in is exceeded, the payment will not be settled and the payee must correct the number of payment points.

3) Reach Declaration Reach is declared by pressing the 1,000-point payment confirmation key F. Then, the negative flashing signal and the payout number of 1000 points are displayed on the individual display 3 of the reach declarer, and 1000 points are displayed on the common display 10 as the reach delivery point (corresponding to the reach bar). The number of points paid by the reach declaration is stored in the control means B, and when an independent winner finishes the payment of the reach points together with the transfer points, the athlete concerned pays and receives the reach points. The fluctuation of the number of points of is also processed by the control means B.

4) Display of total number of points held by hand By pressing the total key T for checking points at any time during the competition, the current number of points of the athlete concerned is displayed on the individual display 3 thereof based on the command of the control means B.
When the total key T is pressed again, the display of the number of points disappears and the previous state is restored.

5) Place (parent) setting and clear The parent is declared by pressing the H key. When the button is pressed for the first time, 0 is displayed on the parent number next to the individual display 3 and the display 4 for setting the number of loading fields, indicating that it is the parent number. When the master numbers are consecutively set, that is, the number of loading fields is set by pressing the H key and then the target numeral key. To clear the master number and clear it, press the H key 2
Press continuously.

6) Handling of reserved points As shown in Fig. 10 (a), A ₂
And _{A 3} is Richi already (Tenpai), _{A 1} and when _{A 4} is a case Noten is, _{A 1} and _{A 4} separate display 3
There is no score displayed on the, _{A 2} and _{A 3} of the individual display 3
In the figure, 1000 points of the donation point of the reach declaration and blinking of the minus sign are displayed, and the common display 10 displays the total number of reach points of A ₂ and A ₃ of 2000 points. And when there is no winner at the end of this game, the reach donation point of 2000 cannot be settled due to the current situation,
It will be held at the next place. The holding operation of the reach delivery point is performed by pressing the reset key R. Then, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the display of the reach delivery point displayed on the individual displays 3 of A ₂ and A ₃ is cleared, and the common display 1 is displayed.
The total number of reach delivery points of 0 is also cleared, and two of the reserved point display lamps 11 (equivalent to 2000 points) are turned on.

At this point, the score of the noten punishment mark will be delivered by the normal payment point delivery operation. When it becomes possible to settle the reserved points at the next station, the all-in key A is pressed.

7) Display of box point When the number of points is 1000 or less in reach, transfer, etc., the box display lamp 5 blinks as a warning, and when it reaches the box, it lights up.

8) Completion of competition All athletes press the total key T to display the number of points on each individual display 3, and the reset key R beside the common display 10 is depressed. By this operation, the initial points set at power-on are restored.
