Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pachinko ball exchange management device.

In current pachinko game halls, the number of balls held by a player is simply counted using a counter at a prize exchange area, and a game hall employee hands out a prize to the player according to the number of balls.

Therefore, not only is the exchange work complicated, but also the inventory of prizes cannot be managed rationally.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, facilitate prize exchange work in pachinko parlors, automate prize exchange information processing, and rationally manage prize inventory.

In order to achieve this object, the pachinko ball exchange management device of the present invention includes a start key, a numeric keypad for inputting the number of balls held by a player, a storage means for storing the number of balls held by the player entered by the numeric keypad, and a prize inventory in advance. a storage means for storing the numbers by type, an input means for inputting the type of exchange prize and the number of pitches thereof using the numeric keypad or tag reader, and the storage means for inputting the exchange prize and the number of pitches thereof input by the input means. A subtraction means for subtracting from the stored number of prizes in stock and the number of balls held, a determination means for determining the difference between the number of balls held and the number of exchanged balls by the subtraction means, and an alarm generation means for issuing a warning when the difference is negative, and correction. Adding means for adding the exchange prize and the number of balls thereof input by the input means after the correction operation to the number of prizes in stock and the number of balls held currently stored in the storage means, by operation of an operation key;
An end operation key is provided.

Since the pachinko ball exchange management device of the present invention has the above-described configuration, it has the following effects.

That is, when the player completes the game and obtains the prize ball, the player presents the prize ball to the employee along with the selected prize. The employee first counts the number of balls held by the player using a well-known counter, and then inserts the start key of the pachinko ball management device of the present invention. After the start key is pressed, when the number of balls held is entered using the numeric keypad, the number of balls held is entered and the value is stored in the storage means.

On the other hand, the number of prizes in stock for a pachinko player is stored in advance in a storage means by type.

Next, when the employee inputs the prize selected by the player and the number of balls using an input means such as a numeric keypad or a tag reader, the exchange prize and the number of balls thereof are calculated by the subtraction means and the above-mentioned inventory number stored in advance. and is subtracted from the number of balls held by the player.

Here, if (number of balls held) - (number of balls of exchange prize) ≧ 0, the employee operates the end operation key to complete the exchange work, and the number of stocks of the exchange prize is automatically subtracted. This will prepare for the next player exchange.

Conversely, if (number of balls held) - (number of balls of exchange prize) <0, the alarm means is activated and a warning is issued. The employee operates the correction operation key as necessary, such as when this warning occurs.

By operating the correction operation key, the addition means can be activated, and then if the exchange prize and the number of balls thereof are inputted using the same input means as described above, the exchange prize and the number of balls thereof are added to the number of stocks and the number of balls held. Since the game returns to the state before the operation, the player is asked to select a prize with a smaller number of balls and perform the same operation as before.

Therefore, according to the pachinko ball exchange management device of the present invention, not only the exchange operation is facilitated, but also the inventory management of prizes can be carried out rationally.

The illustrated embodiment will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation sequence of the pachinko ball exchange management device, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram.

1 is a starting operation using a starting key, which starts the operation of the device.

2 is an operation for inputting the number of balls held by the numeric keypad 20, whereby the number of balls held is inputted. The number of balls held is stored in the storage means 21.

On the other hand, the number of prizes in stock is stored in the storage means 21 in advance.

3 is an input means 22 such as a numeric keypad or a tag reader
This is an input operation for the type of prize to be exchanged and the number of balls, and when the player reads or enters the prize selected by the player and the number of balls with the tag reader or numeric keypad, the value will be the number in stock and the number of balls held. are accessed 4 and subtracted from the number of prizes in stock and the number of balls held by subtraction means 6 and 7, respectively.

In addition, the code number for each type and the number of balls are displayed in advance on the prize.

8 is a means for adding the number of prizes exchanged on the day, and the number of exchanges is obtained by this.

5 and 12 are alarm discrimination and alarm generation means, which issue a warning when (number of balls held) - (number of balls exchanged as prizes) < 0, that is, when the number of balls exchanged is greater than the number of balls held. ing.

Reference numeral 5 represents a determination portion by the determination means 5', and 12 represents a warning generation portion by the alarm generation means 12'.

9 is human correction judgment, 13 is correction start operation,
Reference numeral 10 indicates a termination judgment by a person, and 11 indicates an termination operation.

The exchange operation is completed in end operation 11.

The correction start operation 13 is performed by operating the correction operation key 13' based on human judgment 9. For example, this is done when the above-mentioned alarm is issued or when you want to cancel the exchange of a prize that has already been exchanged.

14 and 15 are an input operation and an access, respectively, and are the same as input operation 3 and access 4 described above.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a number of balls added, which adds the input number of prize balls to the number of balls held.

As a result, the number of balls held will return to its original value.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a prize stock management addition means which adds the inputted prize to the stock quantity. As a result, the number of items in stock will return to the original number.

18 is a means for subtracting the number of prizes exchanged on the day,
Thereby, the exchanged number obtained by the adding means 8 also becomes the original number.

Other data calculations, such as the current stock quantity, the daily and cumulative total of stocking and shipping, the amount of the current stock, and the list of order points, can also be performed as necessary.

In addition, 〓 means the one caused by the operation of the hall, □ means the one caused by the operation of the pachinko ball exchange management device, 〓
indicates judgment.
