2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when playing a game in a pachinko game hall, it is common for a player to select a pachinko game machine that has a large chance of winning a prize. Was being emphasized. However, in recent years, due to the expansion of the customer base, there are an increasing number of game players such as elderly people and women who do not have the technique to judge the good or bad of the nail condition as described above.
For this reason, it has become a general trend to attach importance to history data such as the number of hitting occurrences and the number of special prize occurrences in the pachinko gaming machine as a guide when selecting a pachinko gaming machine to be played.

Therefore, in the pachinko hall, as a part of measures for improving the service to the pachinko players, for example, the number of occurrences of the stoppage of the pachinko gaming machine in correspondence with each pachinko gaming machine,
Display a panel showing historical data such as the number of times of special prize occurrence (or a panel showing that the historical data having a certain reference level or more is extracted as a so-called lucky table),
This is assisted in selecting a pachinko gaming machine to be played.

However, in the conventional system as described above, it is necessary to re-display the panel each time a stoppage or a special prize is newly generated (or whenever a new lucky stand appears). There is a problem that the burden on employees increases. In addition, in reality, the above-mentioned panel posting is often not performed accurately, and there is a problem that the reliability is not sufficient when viewed from the side of the player. Moreover, for the player side, it is necessary to make a patrol in the pachinko hall in order to check the display status of the above-mentioned panel and the free status (non-operating status) of the corresponding pachinko gaming machine. There was also a problem that became.

In order to solve such a problem, conventionally, the above-mentioned history data of all the pachinko gaming machines in the pachinko gaming machine and useful data such as whether or not each pachinko gaming machine is operating are automatically automatically generated. Displayable CRT

Information provision system is also provided.

[0006]

However, in a system such as the above-mentioned JP-A-5-18472 and a device such as JP-A-5-253350, a player physically moves to a pachinko hall. There was a problem that the operating information of each gaming machine could not be obtained if the player did not go out. or,
In the information providing system via the personal computer communication service host 98 as shown in FIG. 16, the update time of the operation information written from the pachinko hall (for example, half a day or around a day)
The information obtained only becomes old, the latest operating status cannot be obtained, and the above operating information cannot be obtained if the communication service host is crowded with other users, and personal computer communication apart from telephone charges There was a problem that it cost money.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide the latest operation information of each pachinko gaming machine by communication means such as a facsimile, even if the player does not go to the pachinko hall. It is to provide an information providing system for pachinko halls that can be obtained at low cost.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a hall management computer that collects and stores time-sequentially operation information indicating the operation status of each gaming machine installed in a pachinko hall, and the hole management computer. Is related to a pachinko hall information providing system including a communication control device that sends specific operation information out of the stored operation information to the outside of the pachinko hall, and the above object of the present invention is: This is achieved by including facsimile information control means for receiving a transmission request from a facsimile by a player outside the pachinko hall, generating the specific operation information in a facsimile data format, and transmitting it to the transmission requesting facsimile. It

Further, the facsimile information control means transmits voice guidance to the facsimile after the line connection with the facsimile, and receives from the facsimile the selection information of the menu selected by the player according to the voice guidance. Then, the specific operation information corresponding to the menu is to be transmitted, and the specific operation information is a time series sorted based on an excellent machine order or an out-of-order machine operation among a plurality of gaming machines. Since it is one unit number data, and the specific operation information is the payout information or biorhythm information of the designated unit number gaming machine, each is more effectively achieved.

[0010]

According to the present invention, the player can obtain the operation information of the gaming machine inside the pachinko hall directly from outside the pachinko hall in real time by using the facsimile. Therefore, the latest information in the pachinko hall can be obtained in real time, and there is an advantage that the game machine selection strategy can be made more accurate. Further, in the configuration described above, various functions can be selected while listening to the operation explanation or the like by the voice guidance, and only necessary information can be easily obtained. Furthermore, in the configurations described in and above, the time-series single unit number data sorted in the order of excellent units or defective units, or the ball output information or biorhythm information of the specified unit number gaming machine is transmitted once. Since it can be obtained by access, it is not necessary to access the computer on the pachinko hall side multiple times and compare the data for each machine, and it is not necessary for the player to judge the excellent machine or the malfunctioning machine. You can check the malfunctioning platform.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a pachinko hall information providing system of the present invention. The pachinko parlor system 1 collects information from each pachinko gaming machine 2 and concentrates the operation status. It is composed of a centralized management computer 4 that manages it, and a communication management computer 40 that provides information for players to the player (user) side system 5. There are several possible configurations of the player system 5 such as using a personal computer as a terminal, but in the present invention, a configuration using a facsimile as a terminal will be described as an example. Here, the computer configuration of the pachinko parlor system 1 is
The configuration of the centralized processing by one management computer 3 may be adopted instead of the configuration of the distributed processing by the two computers 4 and 40.

The FAX 100 of the player side system 5 is a general facsimile and is connected to the pachinko parlor side system 1 via the telephone network 6. By using a facsimile machine in the home or a facsimile machine installed in a store, the player can receive various information services related to the pachinko game from outside the pachinko hall.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a menu structure and provision information of the information service by facsimile, and the kind of information provided by the pachinko parlor system 1 is, for example, the number of occurrences of a specific state such as so-called "big hit". Excellent table information M1 indicating a game table with a large number of games (excellent table) or a game table with a small number of occurrences (disorder table), ball output information M2 indicating a game table with a large number of balls, and a reserved game table, etc. There are right platform information M3, guide information M4 indicating a playing technique for each pachinko machine type and a method of using the information service. These menus M1 to M4 have a hierarchical structure, and by designating a lower menu, the operating information of each model, the operating information of the designated machine number gaming machine, and the operating state are shown in a graph etc. in a self-series manner. More detailed information such as biorhythm information FS1 to F
S4 is output to the facsimile.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the pachinko parlor system 1 of FIG. In FIG. 3, the pachinko gaming machine 2a or the like outputs an out-ball counting signal Pa indicating the number of out-balls (launched pachinko-balls) and also indicates the number of safe balls (pachinko-balls released as prize balls). The safe ball count signal Pb is output, and the prize signal Sf is output when a prize (specific state in the present invention) with an extremely high winning rate occurs. The count signals Pa, Pb and Centralized management computer 4 for special signal Sf
Connected to give to.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 2a and the like are configured to be switched to a non-playable stop state when receiving a stop signal Sz output from the central control computer 4 as described later.

The control circuit 8 forming the core of the centralized management computer 4 sends and receives signals to and from the pachinko gaming machine 2a via the input circuit 10 and the output circuit 12, and also with the communication management computer 40. Communication control circuit 1
4 and the high-speed line HCL, data is transmitted and received, and the terminal device has a keyboard 16 for information input, a printer 18 and a display device 20 for information output, an external memory 22, and the like.

In this case, the control circuit 8 calculates the number of difference balls in the pachinko gaming machine 2a based on the out ball number signal Pa and the safe ball number signal Pb from the pachinko gaming machine 2a side, and the calculation result (game When the number of pachinko balls acquired on the customer side) reaches a predetermined stop setting value, a stop signal Sz is output to the pachinko gaming machine 2a, and the pachinko game is responded accordingly. The machine 2a is switched to a non-playable stop state. The stop signal Sz is
When opening the pachinko gaming machine 2a to be output,
The output can be stopped according to the operation of the keyboard 16.

The control circuit 8 has a clock function and stores the totalized data DS1 in the external memory 22 each time the hitting signal Sz is output to the pachinko gaming machine 2a.
The total data DS1 is the unit number data ΔN of the pachinko gaming machine 2a that is the output target of the hitting signal Sz and the output time of the hitting signal Sz (that is, the pachinko gaming machine 2a.
The occurrence time data ΔT indicating the stop occurrence time) and the type data ΔF (= 1) indicating that these data are related to “stop”.

Further, the control circuit 8 is a pachinko gaming machine 2a.
Each time the special prize signal Sf is input, the total data DS2 is sequentially stored in the external memory 22. The total data DS2 is the machine number data ΔN and the prize signal Sf of the pachinko gaming machine 2a that is the source of the prize signal Sf.
Occurrence time data ΔT indicating the input time (that is, the special prize occurrence time on the pachinko gaming machine 2a), and type data ΔF indicating that those data relate to the “special prize”
(= 0).

Further, the control circuit 8 has a predetermined update time (for example, every hour on every hour and every 10 minutes, that is, 00 at each hour).
Minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes), the aggregate data 22a is read from the external memory 22 and communication management is performed via the communication control circuit 14 and the high speed line HCL such as the Internet and HDLC. The total data is transferred to the computer 40.

Thus, when the aggregated data 22a is transferred from the centralized management computer 4 at each of the predetermined update times, the communication management computer 40 receives the aggregated data 22a via the communication control circuit 46, and the silicone data is stored in the silicon. The data is stored in the external memory 44 such as a disk, a hard disk, or an optical disk, and the totalized data is organized, the specific state occurrence time table described later is updated, the occurrence frequency data is created, the machine number sort data is created, and the time series machine number is created. Data is created and / or terminal output data (output data to a facsimile or the like) is created.

Further, a communication terminal (FAX, etc.) outside the hall 10
When there is a data transmission request from 0 through the FAX function modem 48 as described later, the control circuit 42 in the communication management computer 40 causes the control circuit 42 in the communication management computer 40 to store the specific state occurrence time table and the time series unit number data. , Basic data of terminal output data, etc. are read out, processed, arithmetically processed, and transmitted to the outside-hall communication terminal 100 of the request source.

In such a configuration, an example of an information service by facsimile will be described in detail below with reference to a flowchart of an operation example of the system of the present invention.

First, an example of the operation of the centralized management computer 4 of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4. After the power is turned on, the centralized management computer 4 is initialized (step S2), and then the control circuit. 8 is a data update time whose current time is preset by the built-in clock (for example, every hour on every hour and every 10 minutes, that is, 00 minutes every hour, 10 minutes every hour).
Minute, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes) is determined (step S6), and when “YES” is determined, the specific state occurrence time and unit is read from the aggregated data memory 22a in the external memory 22. Read the number, etc., high-speed communication line H
The totalized data is transferred to the communication management computer 40 via the CL, and the data updating process is performed (step S8). After that, a specific state that occurs irregularly is detected by calculating the number of difference balls, and as shown in FIG. 7, unit number data ΔN, generation time data ΔT, and type data Δ are stored in the total data memory 22a.
F (1 in the case of aggregate data related to stopping at the pachinko gaming machines 2a to 2n, "0" in the case of aggregate data related to special prizes) is registered in the order of occurrence time. There is.

On the other hand, the communication management computer 4 in the hall
An example of the operation of the control circuit 42 in 0 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
At U, it is checked by the built-in clock whether it is during the business hours of the pachinko hall (step S4), and if it is outside the business hours, the data updating process is not performed and the data transmission request is issued from the communication terminal FAX100 outside the hall. If so (step S18), the fax output data FS (any one of the output information FS1 to FS4 in FIG. 2 or a combination thereof) of the menu is transmitted by the processing of step S20 described later. On the other hand, during the business hours of the pachinko hall (step S4), when the preset data update time comes (step S6), the CPU of the control circuit 42 causes the centralized management computer 4 to collect the aggregated data 22a via the high-speed communication line HCL. Is received and written in the total data memory 44a of the external memory 44.

Then, from the total data memory 44a as shown in FIG. 7, the occurrence time ΔT of the specific state and the unit number data Δ are shown.
N is read out, and the occurrence time ΔT is additionally registered in the specific state occurrence time table 44b for each vehicle ΔN (step S).
10). In the registration process to the specific state occurrence time table 44b, the registration column 100 is set for each day of the table 44b.
0a to 1000i are provided, and the total number of occurrences Ki (1004i) of each specific state and each occurrence time Ti (100) for each unit number data ΔN and game type data ΔF.
2i) can be added and deleted in the form of a variable length list, the unit number data ΔN, the type data ΔF and the occurrence time ΔT are read from the total data memory 44a,
Corresponding date column in table 44b (typically 1000a
The total number of occurrences Ka (1004a) in the column number data ΔN and the type data ΔF column in (column) is incremented by 1, and the generation time ΔT is added to the time registration column 1002a. The specific state occurrence time registration processing for each machine is performed for all occurrence time data stored in the aggregate data memory 44a.

Subsequently, the occurrence frequency data for each predetermined period is created from the specific state occurrence time table 44b for each unit (step S12). This process is performed for each unit number and type, for each period before the predetermined time from the current time (for example, on an hourly or daily basis), how many times the specific state occurs ΔK within this period. Also, the total number of occurrences K of the specific state up to the predetermined time is calculated. The occurrence frequency data generation process will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In the example of FIG. 9, the number of occurrences of the specific state occurring from 1 hour before the current time to the current time is shown in a column 1012. The total number of occurrences of the specific state is stored in a column 1010, and the number of occurrences of the specific state occurring from 2 hours before the current time to 1 hour before the current time is stored in a column 1016. In the same manner, the number of occurrences of the specific state that occurred 12 hours before the current time to 11 hours before the current time is stored in the column 1022 in the same manner. The number of times is stored in the column 1020.

In order to generate the occurrence frequency data, first, from the occurrence time table 44b (FIG. 8), the total number of occurrences K and the occurrence time data ΔT [1] to each unit number data. [Delta] T [K] is read and the occurrence time data is checked from the rear, and the occurrence time data [Delta] T [K] is the reference time (in the example of FIG. 9, 1 hour before the current time, 2 hours at the current time, …, 12 hours before the current time, etc.)
After that, the work counter is incremented by +1 and the next occurrence time data ΔT [K-1] is similarly checked.
On the other hand, if the occurrence time data ΔT [i] that is currently being focused is before the reference time, the content (= ΔK) of the work counter up to this time is stored in the specific state occurrence count column 1012. The number of times K is stored in the column 1010. After that, the total number of occurrences of the specific state is updated to K = K-ΔK, the work counter is reset, and the next reference time (in the example of FIG. 9,
The same processing as described above is performed for 2 hours before the current time), and the calculation results are stored in the columns 1016 and 1014. This process is repeated a predetermined number of times (12 times in the example of FIG. 9). Further, the occurrence frequency data for each period as described above is obtained for each unit number data ΔN and each type data ΔF.

In this way, when the generation frequency data by unit number as shown in FIG. 9 is obtained, next, this generation frequency data is sorted in the order of size to create unit number sorting data as shown in FIG. (Step S14 in FIG. 4). This unit number sort data is, for example, in a large order (small order may be used) with the number of occurrences ΔK as the first key data for each predetermined period (in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, there are 12 types of periods T = 1 to 12). ), The machine number data ΔN is rearranged,
When the number of occurrences ΔK is equal, the total number of occurrences K is further used as the second key data, and the unit number data ΔN are rearranged in the order of this size. When ΔK and K are equal, The machine number data ΔN can be rearranged in the order of this size using the machine number data ΔN as the third key data. Here, the total number of occurrences K is rearranged as the second key data. The reason is that there are a considerable number of game machines with the same number of occurrences ΔK per hour, and there is a difference between the units. This is because it does not occur. Thus, FIG. 10 shows an example of the machine number sort data in which the number of occurrences ΔK and the total number of occurrences K are rearranged and sorted as key data for each predetermined period.

Next, the unit number sort data is further classified into the unit number data by frequency and classified to create time-series unit number data (step S16 in FIG. 4). In this ranking, the relative superiority or inferiority between the gaming machines can be determined only by sorting the machine number data in the order of the size, but the absolute favorable or unsuccessful degree of each gaming machine is not known. So, for example, for an excellent game machine, if the number of occurrences of a specific state ΔK is 4 or more during the above-mentioned predetermined period (1 hour), it is classified as a super excellent machine and the number of occurrences of a specific state Δ
If K is 2 or 3 times, it is classified as excellent and the number of occurrences is △
If K is 1 or 0, this is a process of selecting a predetermined number of units above the average in order from the higher order of the remaining sort table number data. Incidentally, the above-mentioned judgment values of super-excellent bases, excellent bases, etc. can be appropriately changed and set. FIG. 11 shows an example of time-series excellent platform number data in which the ranking process of the favorable platform is repeated for each period, and the platform number sorting data of FIG.

On the other hand, with respect to the game machine that is not working, the machine number sort data as shown in FIG. 10 is checked in ascending order, and the number of occurrences ΔK of the specific state is 0 and the total number of occurrences K is 2 within a predetermined period. If it is less than or equal to the number of times, it is classified as a super disordered table, and if the number of occurrences ΔK of the specific state is 0 and the total number of occurrences K is 3 or 4 times, it is classified as a disordered table. This is a process of selecting a predetermined number of units below the average in order from the lower data of the sort table number data. It should be noted that the above-mentioned determination values for the super-disordered table, the unsuccessful table, etc. can be appropriately changed and set. The rank classification process of the disordered table is repeated for each period, and FIG.
FIG. 12 shows an example of time-series malfunctioning machine number data in which ranks of 0 machine number sorting data are classified according to malfunctioning machines.

Furthermore, the communication management computer 4 of the present invention
When there is a data transmission request from the FAX 100 (step S18 in FIG. 4), the control circuit 42 in 0 generates fax output data and outputs it to the telephone line via the modem 48. This fax output data is created based on the data updated at any time in the processing of steps S8 to S16, and the latest information in the selected menu is F
It is transmitted to the AX100 (step S
20). Here, an operation example in step S20 is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation procedure of the player side system, and when the line is connected by dialing from the FAX 100 side (step S2).
01), in the control circuit 42 in the communication management computer 40, first, voice guidance data 44f for operation explanation is read from the external memory 44 (or a storage medium such as a magnetic disk), and as shown in FIG. FAX1 voice information
To 00. The user selects the function by using the dial tone while listening to the operation explanation by the voice guidance (steps S202 and S203).

The control circuit 42 receives the menu selection information (dial tone data) instructed to be selected, reads out the fax basic data (fixed part data, etc.) of the menu from the terminal data memory 44e in the external memory 44. After processing and generating the fax output data FS (or in parallel with the data generation process), the voice information for instructing the transmission as shown in FIG. 6B is transmitted to the FAX 100 (step S204). The user gives an instruction to start transmission (pressing the start button) according to the voice guidance. Upon receiving the transmission start instruction information, the control circuit 42 transmits the fax output data FS to the FAX 100 via the telephone network 6 (step S205). Then, after the transmission is completed, the line is disconnected (step S206), and the process for the FAX 100 ends. Then, the process returns to step S4 of FIG. 4, and the processes of step S4 and subsequent steps described above are repeated.

Next, the fax output data generation process performed by the control circuit 42 in the communication management computer will be described in detail with reference to a specific example of the output data. FIG.
3 or fax output data (excellent machine information, malfunction table information) as shown in FIG. 14, the output data is a fixed data section such as ranking areas 110d, 110f, and 110h, model name output area 110a, and machine number range. Output area 110b, common scale 110c, message output column 1
It is composed of a semi-fixed output data part such as 10k and a variable data part such as unit number output areas 110e, 110g and 110f. Therefore, when the output data generation process is started, the basic data such as the fixed data portion and the variable position information is read from the ROM or the magnetic disk, and the terminal data memory 44e is used as the fax output data.
Written in. Then, the semi-fixed data such as the model name and the machine number are written in the respective areas in the fax output data.

Next, the variable data sections 110e, 110g,
The unit number data is written in 110f. This unit number data is ranked in advance as time-series excellent unit number data and stored in a predetermined memory as shown in FIG. 11, for example. Therefore, this time-series excellent unit number data is read and the upper digits are masked. It is better to convert the lower two digits to the machine number data and write the area in the fax output data. In some cases, there is no corresponding unit number data in the super-excellent units and ranks of excellent units. In this case, the variable data section 110
e, 110g corresponding columns 500, 502 and 510, 5
12 or the like is left blank, or the unit number data is written by changing the character for each rank by character decoration such as blanking, and the unit data of the lower rank is written in the blank output data section 500, 502, etc. May be moved forward and written. Further, according to the present invention, as described above, the update processing of the aggregated data is executed every predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) to update the time series excellent unit number data. Therefore, the output content is updated even if the time scale is the same. It changes at every time (every 10 minutes).

The output data thus generated is shown in FIG.
The result is output to the FAX 100 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the user does not need to perform the process of determining the excellent base or the defective base on the side of the player, and can very efficiently confirm the excellent base or the defective base. Further, when the “model biorhythm menu M13, M23” in FIG. 2 is instructed, the communication management computer 40 is operated in the same manner as described above.
Thus, the biorhythm graph of the pachinko machine is generated and output to the FAX 100 as a result as shown in FIG. With this model-specific biorhythm information, the user can
It is possible to easily check the progress over time such as the occurrence status of the specific state and the status of the payout amount.

[0038]

As described above, according to the information providing system for the pachinko hall of the present invention, the operation information of the gaming table, which cannot be known until now by going to a pachinko parlor, can be obtained through a telephone line at home or the like. It will be possible to refer from the location. As a result, it becomes possible for game players who cannot go to the store every day to obtain continuous information, which can be used as a guide for predicting the condition of the game table.
Further, unlike a general personal computer communication host, since the computer in the pachinko hall is directly accessed, it is not necessary to pay a personal computer communication charge. Furthermore, since there is no need for software on the terminal side or a dedicated device, and only the existing facsimile is sufficient, anyone can use the information service inexpensively and easily. Further, as compared with the case of outputting on a display screen of a personal computer or the like, a facsimile can output a large amount of information at a time, so that more detailed information can be provided.

Further, it is expected that pachinko parlors will be able to attract more customers by widely disseminating information. Furthermore, at the pachinko parlor side, it is possible to monitor the usage situation of the player who often uses the hall and use it as a basic material for hall remodeling.
