Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a prize exchange processing system, and more particularly to a prize processing and exchange system that is used in pachinko parlors and prevents operational errors or unauthorized exchanges during prize exchange.

(Background of the Invention) Conventionally, in a prize exchange processing system used in pachinko parlors, when a customer inserts the acquired balls into a counting machine and presses an issue button, a deposit ticket with the number of balls and a serial number printed on it is issued. publish. The customer selects a desired prize according to the number of balls printed on the deposit ticket, and submits the prize together with the deposit ticket to the exchange. At the exchange, an operator performs a registration process by inputting the number of balls printed on the deposit ticket and the number of balls to be exchanged for each prize into a register, and also checks whether the prize can be exchanged and performs the exchange process.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional system, the operator manually enters the register with the number of balls printed on the deposit ticket at the exchange, so there are cases where accurate registration processing becomes impossible due to operator error. However, if the deposit ticket is forged or altered, there is a risk of fraudulent prize exchange.

(Object of the Invention) In view of the problems with the conventional system described above, the object of the present invention is to prevent fraudulent prize exchanges due to forgery of deposit tickets, etc. in a prize exchange processing system for pachinko parlors. In addition, the purpose is to eliminate the effects of operator errors and the like so that accurate registration processing can be performed.

(Configuration and Effects of the Invention) The present invention provides a prize processing and exchange system for /Qchinko parlors, which stores man-hours and identification information in a storage device based on the output from a counting machine that counts the number of inserted pachinko balls. This system is based on the concept of having the exchange place perform the prize exchange process based on data such as the number of balls stored in the storage device, and there is a risk that incorrect registration may occur due to operational errors at the exchange. This also makes it possible to prevent fraudulent prize exchanges due to forgery of deposit tickets, etc.

(Example of the invention) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a prize exchange processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system shown in the figure includes a counting machine 2 that counts the number of /Q dick balls inserted into the Bon Ql, an issuing machine 3 that issues a deposit ticket, an external memory file 4, a register 5, and a bar code that sounds a scanner 6. It is composed of a reader 7 and the like. The issuing machine 3 is equipped with a printer for creating a deposit ticket and an issue button for instructing the issuance of a deposit ticket.The external memory file 4 is constituted by, for example, a floppy disk device, and is connected to both the issuing machine 3 and the register 5. It is accessible from. The register 5 is equipped with a keyboard for inputting serial numbers of deposited tickets and the like.

The operation of the system shown in Fig. 1 will be explained with reference to Fig. 2 (al and (b)).As shown in Fig. 2 (ai),
The customer puts the balls he has acquired into a counting machine 2. The counting machine 2 counts the number of balls thrown in, and when counting is completed, inputs data indicating the number of man-hours into the issuing machine 3. Then, the customer uses issuing machine 3.
When the issue button provided in Write a one-digit check digit created based on the number and number of balls data.

In addition, the brick prints the number of man-hours, the serial number, and the check dinot, and creates and issues a deposit ticket.

Based on the number of balls printed on the thus issued deposit ticket, the customer selects and collects the desired prize and submits it to the exchange together with the deposit ticket.

At the exchange, the operator inputs the serial number and check digit printed on the deposit ticket from the keyboard of the register 5, as shown in FIG. 2(b). As a result, the register 5 accesses the external memory file 4 and searches for stored data corresponding to the serial number. Then, if data corresponding to the serial number is stored,
The data is called up and data errors are determined based on the consecutive numbers and check digits entered from the keyboard. If there is a data error or if the corresponding serial number is not found in the above-mentioned search of the external memory file, an error message will be displayed. If there is no data error, the extinguisher operates the barcode attached to each prize using the scanner 6 connected to the barcode reader 7, inputs the number of balls required to exchange each prize, etc. into the register 5, and then The external memory file 4 is also subtracted from the number of balls read. In this way, the registration process is performed for each prize, and when the remaining number of balls is less than a predetermined number or becomes 0'', the registration process is terminated as the deposited balls are finished, and the data in the external memory file 4 is erased.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need for an operator at the exchange to manually calculate man-hours and the number of exchanged balls for each prize, and the number of balls acquired by the customer is directly read from an external memory file and used. , and the consecutive numbers and number of balls are checked by the check digit,
Operation errors of the operator are reduced, registration operations are performed accurately, and unauthorized exchange due to forgery of deposit tickets can be prevented.
