Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a card-type pachinko machine, and more particularly to an information recording card equipped with a storage device for storing increase/decrease element data such as the number of game balls, and a display device for displaying the stored contents.

The basic structure of the card-type pachinko machine was developed by the applicant in a patent application filed in 1973.
It is proposed in No. 0-154787. This is because the actual balls actually fired by the player are sealed in a certain number of pachinko machines and recycled, and the number of balls held by the player at the beginning of the game, the number of balls hit, the number of foul balls, the number of winning balls, and so on. All the increase/decrease factors associated with pachinko games, such as the number of converted prize balls and the number of prize balls to be provided to the player after the game is stopped or finished, are converted into mathematical signals and calculated electronically. By simply carrying around a card with the information memorized, there is no need to touch the real ball, which tends to be bulky.

Of course, this card-type pachinko machine can also be applied to coin-type pachinko machines in which players compete to increase or decrease the number of coins.

However, with conventional card-type machines, it is not possible to directly visually display information such as the number of balls and coins on the card itself, which has been subjected to magnetic recording and punch processing, and the card cannot be directly displayed on the card itself at a pachinko machine or a prize exchange place. In other words, you had to record the information (number of balls) and go to the no< dick machine (by purchasing rental balls), or from the noku dick machine to the no ( dick machine or prize exchange place). During the transfer, it was not possible to determine the number of man-hours.

The present invention solves this inconvenience by providing a semiconductor recording device in addition to a magnetic recording device on the card, and displaying increase/decrease element data on a display device via this semiconductor recording device, thereby allowing the recorded contents to be displayed. A small information recording card that can be checked is obtained.

The invention will now be described with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows an information recording card according to the present invention.
It has an individual storage device, a semiconductor storage device 3, and a display device. The display device G has, for example, a 5-digit liquid crystal display, and displays the number of game balls stored in the semiconductor storage device 3 under the control of a control device 7 driven by the output of a read command switch (touch switch) B. Display data numerically.

The key is these driving batteries.

The semiconductor memory device 3 is constituted by, for example, an up/down counter g, and the human power device wa for providing addition/subtraction inputs to this counter and the display device t are constituted by semiconductor devices as shown in FIG. That is, the human-powered device 9 consists of an addition light-receiving element lθ and a subtraction light-receiving element // (both pixel elements are composed of phototransistors, for example), and when a light pulse human power is applied to any of the pixel elements, the tuning circuit /2
．． /3, the stored contents of the counter increase or decrease by -. The stored data is displayed on the display l through the driver puffer by the read command output RD of the read command switch 6.
given to.

However, as shown in Figure 3, pachinko machines have card/
An input/output device 15 for exchanging information with the magnetic recording device 3 and an output device 6 for supplying signals to the human-powered device of the semiconductor storage device 3 are provided. Input/output device/
5- is composed of a well-known glue reader/writer with the function of writing and reading from the magnetic strip, while the output device/A is composed of an addition light-receiving element 10 and a subtraction light-receiving element/a on the card L side.
The addition light emitting element /7 corresponding to /, and the subtraction light emitting element /
g (consisting of, for example, a light emitting diode). Tsuma 9 Pachinko machine control device, central processing unit (CPU) x with microcomputer configuration equipped in 20
/ gives data on the number of game balls to a light emitting element (light emitting diode), and transmits the data converted into an optical signal to a light receiving element (
The signal is converted into an electrical signal by a phototransistor (phototransistor) and then fed to the counter.

The operation of the game ball number data in the control device 20 is carried out according to the block diagram shown in FIG. 4. That is, the control device 20 operates the arithmetic processing section 23 by specifying a program stored in advance in the program memory of the CPU 2/ to control each section of the pachinko machine, and also performs data exchange with the inserted card. , Data memo IJ, Z l of the data of the game results of the Nokuchinko machine
Perform calculations using I. This processing mode is shown in the card processing mechanism shown in FIG. The following is an explanation of the configuration and operation on the left.

When the card/ is inserted into the card insertion slot 2B, the card insertion detector 27 detects this and inputs the detection signal to the CPUu/ via the card transport control receiver-g. At this time, the CPU 2/ drives the card feed motor 30 via the driver 29 to rotate the card feed roller 3/,
Pull the card / into the card passage 3.2. As a result, when the card / comes to the position of the input/output device /rito output device 16 of the pachinko machine, the fixed position detector 33 detects this and inputs the detection signal to the CPt1l/ via the receiver 2g.

The CPU 2/ stops the motor 30 via the dry connector t, and drives the insertion blocking solenoid 3 to prevent the subsequent insertion of the card/.

Thereafter, the CPU 2/reads out the game ball number data stored in the magnetic storage device of the card/2 via the input/output device/input and stores it in the game ball number data memory area of the data memory 2/2.

Of course, the data on the number of game balls is written to the magnetic storage device in advance by a ball lending machine or other pachinko machine.
The game ball count data thus read and stored is simultaneously displayed on the ball count display device 36 via the driver 3S. In this state, when the player operates the start switch 3 provided on the outer frame of the pachinko machine, the command manual receiver 3g
A start command is given to the CPUJ/ via the pachinko machine, and the pachinko machine becomes ready to play.

When you start playing, the ball detector 3 is activated every time you shoot a game ball.
q detects this and subtracts "11" from the game ball number data in the data memory 2hiro, and when this data becomes "0", the game ends. At this time, the CPU 2/ drives the card loading solenoid θ to move the fixed position detector 33 to the card passage 3.
When the detector 33 turns off, the motor 30 is driven and the card is pulled up from the card pool.
Incorporate into. Naoriko is an intake confirmation device, and its output stops the motor 3θ.

On the other hand, if a game ball enters the winning hole during a game, it will be detected by the safe ball detector g3, and the CPU, 2/, will be the receiver, g7.
The number of prize balls (for example, 15 balls) is added to the game ball number data in the data memory u4Z via.

Also, if a game ball enters the out hole, it will be detected by the out ball detector +
+ is detected by the CPU and 2/ is similarly accumulated in the data memory 2g via the receiver 3g.

In this way, if the calculation result of the game ball number data obtained based on the detection output of the safe ball detector 3 and the data obtained by the out ball detector 4t and the above-mentioned batted ball detector 39 exceeds a predetermined number of batted balls. , CPIJ2/ is a stop display device y-s2 provided on the surface of the pachinko machine via a driver 29.
Turn it on.

However, if the game is stopped like this, and the player ′! If you operate the calculation switch B, the CPU,
2/ is data memory,! The game ball count data stored in <7 is given to the card/magnetic storage device 2 via the input/output device/left, and the same data is sent to the card/manual device 9 via the output device/B. give to In other words, the electric signal based on the game ball number data is given to the light emitting blade device/B via the light modulation part Gua, and the addition/emission light element/7 is applied depending on the increase/decrease in the number of balls at the start of the game and at the time of settlement. Then, a subtractive light projecting element/g generates a light pulse.

Therefore, the light receiving element 10 on the card/side. // will operate the up/down counter gf in response to the light pulse, and the same game ball λ data as in the magnetic storage device will be stored therein. Note that this memory is stored in the card presence/absence detector + g (
This is executed on the condition that there is a detection output as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5).

Thereafter, the CPU 2/ de-energizes the insertion blocking solenoid 3g and drives the motor 30 in reverse to return the card/ to the player's hand from the insertion slot 2B.

Although the above description has been made with respect to an example of a card insertion mechanism and a control device of a pachinko machine, cards are transported and data is exchanged in the same manner in ball lending machines, calculators, and the like. For example, in the case of a ball lending machine, data on the number of game balls corresponding to the amount of money inserted by the player is stored in the magnetic storage device 3 and the semiconductor storage device 3, and then sent and issued to the player. If the payment machine is still used, when the technician inserts the card he/she brought into the card slot, the card will be removed.
It is convenient for the card to be read by the axis calculator, which reads the game ball number data stored in the magnetic storage device of the player, types it on a receipt, returns it to the player's hand, and then retrieves the card. If the player takes the cash register to the prize exchange office, he or she can exchange it for crystals.

Although the above explanation assumes the number of pachinko balls as an increase/decrease factor, it is clear that this can also be used as the number of coins.In addition, management data such as the store name code and date code can be stored in the card's storage device, especially Of course, it can be stored in a magnetic storage device.

As described above, the information recording card according to the present invention includes a magnetic recording device and a semiconductor storage device, and allows the magnetic recording device to exchange information with a ball lending machine, a pachinko machine, a payment machine, etc. Since the device is designed to display the stored contents on the display device of the card,
The player can check the memory contents at any time when the card is returned to him/her. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the feeling of anxiety for the player when using the card, and there is no need to provide a special reading device to confirm the data. One! f. If the card has only a magnetic storage device, a separate reading device is required to read out the stored contents, and if the card is equipped with this, the card will inevitably become larger and more complicated. In contrast, in the card of the present invention, the semiconductor memory device is linked to the display device, and this device only receives information unilaterally from the central processing unit of the pachinko machine, which simplifies the structure and increases the size. There is no fear.

In particular, if an electrical-optical or optical-electrical conversion device is used as the input/output device of a semiconductor memory device, data can be written more easily and reliably.
