3. Detailed description of the invention

[Industrial application field]

The present invention provides data for transmitting data generated in a terminal device such as a pachinko game machine installed in a pachinko game parlor to a central management device, or for transmitting data from the central management device to the terminal device. Regarding transmission equipment, by using loop lines in particular, (1) simplification of transmission paths, (2) flexible response to increases and decreases in transmission units,
(3) This invention relates to a data transmission device for a pachinko game parlor that can prevent signal attenuation in a transmission path.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, in today's pachinko parlors, each terminal device such as a pachinko machine or ball rental machine is equipped with an intelligent control device such as a microcomputer, and the operating status of each terminal device during business hours is monitored through a data line. The information is sequentially transmitted to the central control device installed in the central control room via
The central management W iff is designed to be able to grasp the operating status of each terminal device in real time. For this reason, each terminal device such as a pachinko gaming machine is equipped with a transmission module for data transmission, and is connected one-to-one with the transmission module on the central management device side, so that the terminal device polled by the central management device responds to the polling. and send the data.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in this way, the central management device and each terminal device are
The following disadvantages are pointed out in the method of connecting one-to-one and transmitting data using a polling method. (1) Since there are usually several hundred pachinko machines, ball rental machines, etc. that serve as terminal devices in a game arcade, each of these terminal devices is connected one-to-one to the central management device. In this case, the transmission line becomes enormous and expensive, and there is also a high risk of incorrect wiring during line installation work. (2) Even when adding terminal devices, it is difficult to add or change transmission modules on the central management device side, making it difficult to add terminal devices easily. (3) In order to avoid the influence of signal attenuation in the transmission line, it is necessary to use a transmission line with a low signal attenuation rate, which increases the line cost. (4) When there are many terminal devices, it takes a long time to receive information from all the terminal devices.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was made to solve these problems, and it is possible to reduce the number of transmission lines, easily accommodate the addition of terminal equipment, and reduce signal attenuation in the line. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data transmission device for a pachinko game parlor that can collect data from a large number of terminal devices in a short period of time. In summary, the data transmission device for a pachinko game parlor of the present invention is provided in a pachinko game parlor having one or more central management devices having a data processing device and a plurality of terminal devices having a data processing device; Alternatively, each of the plurality of central management units and the plurality of terminal devices includes a transmission register means for storing data to be transmitted, a reception register means for storing received data, and an output stage of the transmission register means, directly or indirectly. and a data receiving section connected directly or indirectly to the manual stage of the receiving register means; by connecting the sections in a chain to form a loop-shaped data way, and transmitting the data in the transmission register means to the data receiving section of the next stage transmission module in every predetermined transmission unit. It is possible to sequentially transmit data on the loop-shaped data way using each of the transmission modules as a relay point.

[Effect]

That is, according to the data transmission device of the pachinko game parlor according to the present invention, by sequentially connecting the central management device and the terminal devices in a chain, all the terminal devices and the central management device are interconnected. By specifying the address of the target transmission module, the target transmission module can be exchanged with the transmission module.In addition, in the present invention, each transmission module transfers the data received from the transmission module in the previous stage of the chain to the transmission module in the latter stage of the chain. It is possible to effectively deal with data attenuation by effectively relaying data when transmitting it to a transmission module.Furthermore, according to the present invention, even with an increase in the number of terminal devices, the increased number of terminals can be connected to a receiving line and a transmitting line. Furthermore, according to the present invention, only necessary calls are responded to, and all other calls are only relayed, so it is possible to respond to calls by simply connecting to adjacent terminals. The next call can be made without waiting, and the overall data transmission time can be shortened.

【Example】

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 is a block diagram in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko game parlor having a card-based game system.
1 indicates a central control unit installed in the central control room of the pachinko game parlor, and S and -39 indicate terminal devices such as pachinko game machines, card issuers, and card payment machines installed throughout the pachinko parlor. In addition, in the following, the terminal devices 81 to 81 to S will be referred to as the terminal device S unless it is necessary to specify them. In addition, MD is a transmission module, OF is an optical fiber, and ○E is a photoelectric converter that converts the optical signal transmitted via the optical fiber OF into an electrical signal and provides it to the transmission module MD, EO.
1 and 2 respectively show electro-optical converters that convert the electrical signal generated by the transmission module MD into an optical signal and send it to the optical fiber OF. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of each transmission module MD.
C(S,) indicates the central management device MC (terminal device S,). First, the central management device MC (terminal device S)
- It has a memory 2, a human output port 3, a flag register 4, and an interwoven timer 5 that periodically generates an interrupt request signal to the CPUI, and performs data transmission work in addition to normal data processing. Note that the terminal device S basically has the same configuration as the central management device MC, so a common drawing will be used, but in addition to the above, it has an end timer 6 for setting the end time of the receiving operation. Each transmission module MD also has a register 11 for recording data to be transmitted, and a register 1 for storing received data.
2) A parallel-to-serial converter 13 converts the data stored in the register 11 into serial data and provides it to the electro-optical converter EO. , each having a serial-to-parallel converter 14 feeding the register 12. The data transmission value r of the pachinko game parlor of the present invention is obtained by connecting the electro-optical converter EO of each transmission module MD to the photo-electric converter OE of the adjacent transmission module MD through an optical fiber OF, and forming a loop-shaped dataway as a whole. Configure. The types of data transmitted through the loop-shaped data transfer are roughly divided into [text request data] generated by the central management device c and [text data] generated by the terminal device S.
[Text request data] includes a service address (SA) that specifies the terminal device S to be polled, and [Text data] includes a numerical value sent to the central management device MC in response to [Text request data]. data (e.g.
Includes out pitch total, safe total, etc.). Incidentally, FIG. 3 shows an example of the structure of [text request data], and in this embodiment, the service address (SA) of [text request data] is composed of three binary digits, and CE N Q) is [ Indicates the end of the text request data]. Moreover, FIG. 4 shows an example of the structure of [text data], and in this example, the total number of out balls in [text data] is 8.
The safe sphere total is composed of four binary digits of the fingers, and STX indicates the beginning of [text data], and ETX indicates the end of [text data]. In this embodiment, two types of transmission control methods described below are assumed, and FIGS. 5 and 6 show the two types of transmission side (
This is a time chart showing the 10-way circular route. First, in the first transmission control method shown in FIG.
When collecting [text data] from the terminal device S, , the central pipe embedded ZMC is the terminal device S. [Text request data] including a service address (SA) specifying the service address (SA) is sent to the terminal device S1. On the other hand, when each terminal device S receives the [text request data], it checks the service address [SA], and if the service address [SA] does not match its own address, it sends the above [text request data]. Transfer as is to the adjacent terminal device S0.1 and use the service address (SA)
If it matches its own address, [text data] is added to the above [text request data] and the adjacent terminal device S4. , it is designed to be forwarded to. Therefore, the central management device MC is the terminal device S. When [text request data] including a service address (SA) specifying the terminal device S1 is sent to the terminal device S1, the terminal device S,...
Until then, the [text request data] was transferred without any modification, and the terminal device S1 added [text data] to the [text request data] and sent it to the terminal devices SA, I. Hereafter, this [text request data] [Text data] is sequentially transferred to adjacent terminal devices and reaches the central management device MC. In addition, in the second transmission control method shown in FIG. 6, when collecting [text data] from the terminal device S7, the central management device MC includes a service address (S A) specifying the terminal device S, . [Text request data] is sent to the terminal device S1. On the other hand, when the terminal device S accepts the [text request data], if the service address (SA) does not match its own address, the received data is sent to the adjacent terminal device S. 1 and forward it as is to the service address (SA).
) matches its own address, the received data is deleted and only [text data] is sent to the adjacent terminal device S t + l. Therefore, when the central management g, ii MC sends [text request data] including the service address (S A ) specifying the terminal device S1 to the terminal device Sl, the [text request data] is The data is transferred as is, and the terminal device S0 erases the [text request data] and sends the [text data] to the terminal device S7., and thereafter this [text request data] is sequentially transferred to adjacent terminal devices and centrally managed. Then, the operation of this embodiment will be explained below with reference to the above matters and the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 to 14. Note that FIGS. 11 to 14 correspond to the second transmission control method. Also, FIGS. 7 and 11 are basic flowcharts on the central management device MC side, and FIGS. Figure 12 shows the central management device MC.
Flowcharts for side interrupt handling, Figures 9 and 1
FIG. 3 shows a basic flowchart on the pachinko gaming machine side, which is an example of the terminal device Si, and FIGS. 10 and 14 show flowcharts for interrupt processing on the pachinko gaming machine side, respectively. First, the first control method will be explained. First, the CPU of the central management unit MC sets a data flag to the flag register 4 after power is turned on.

Set [0] and memory 2
To handle normal administrative tasks according to the software within. Similarly, the CPU on the pachinko game machine side also sets an end flag [0] in the flag register 4 after turning on the power, and performs normal internal processing of the pachinko game according to the software in the memory 2. First, to explain the operation of the central management device MC in detail, the interwoven timer 5 periodically requests an interrupt from the CPUI. The CPU enters an interrupt routine in response to this interrupt request, and ends the interrupt routine if it is not [ready to receive] and is not [data to be sent]. In addition, [reception ready] means the serial-parallel converter 14.
A state in which data is accepted even if it is 1 bit, and "transmission data present" refers to a state in which transmission data is set in the register 11. Now, the terminal device S is entered from the keyboard (not shown) of the central management device MC. When an instruction is given to collect the out ball total and safe ball total, the CP of the central management unit MC
Since the UI sets [text request data] in the register 11 via the input/output port 3, the transmission module MD of the central management device MC becomes the [transmission data]. Please note that the service address of this [text request data] (
It goes without saying that SA) indicates the terminal device S7. In this way, when it becomes [transmission data available], the next time there is an interrupt request from the interwoven timer 5, if it is not [reception ready] and [transmission ready], data transmission processing is performed. Note that "ready to send" here refers to the state in which the parallel-serial converter 13 has completed sending data, and if it is not ready to send, the interleaved timer 5 is activated after becoming ready to send. Transmits data in response to an interrupt request that occurs. Also, in the case of [Receive Ready], the data transmitting operation is performed in response to an interrupt request generated by the interwoven timer 5 after completing the data receiving operation, which will be described later. Specifically, this data transmission operation means outputting the [text request data] stored in the register 11 to the parallel-to-serial converter 13, and the parallel-to-real converter 13 converts this [text request data] to the parallel-to-serial converter 13. Convert it to serial data and give it to the electro-optical converter EO, and send it to the electro-optical converter E○
converts this [text request data] into an optical signal. This optical signal is then applied to the photoelectric converter OE of the transmission module MD of the terminal device S1 via the optical fiber OF, and the photoelectric converter OE of the terminal device St is connected to the central management device MC.
Converting [text request data] transmitted as a serial optical signal from the electro-optical converter EO of Therefore, the transmission module MD of the terminal device SI is [reception ready]
become. Now, also within the terminal device S1, the interwoven timer 5 periodically requests an interrupt to the CPU, and the CPUI enters an interrupt routine in response to this interrupt request. First, when the serial-parallel converter 14 starts receiving data, the end timer 6 is released and is not used. At this moment, the terminal device S1 is [receiving ready]
, and the CPUI is parallel-serial converter 1
4, the text request data converted into parallel format and stored in the register 12 is read through the input/output port 3 and stored in the memory 2. Subsequently, the CPU II sets the received [text request data] in the transmission register 11 via the human output port 3, so that the transmission register 11 becomes [transmission data present]. Therefore, every time there is no data in the parallel-serial converter 1iA2S13 and the parallel-serial converter 13 becomes [transmission ready], the [text request information] sent in the register 11 is sent to the parallel-serial converter 13.
The parallel-to-serial converter 13 converts this data into serial data and supplies it to the electro-optical converter EO.
The electro-optical converter E○ converts this data into an optical signal and transmits it to the terminal device Sz via the optical fiber OF, so that the [text request data] transmitted from the central management device MC to the terminal device S1 is, for example, a byte. One by one terminal device S2
will be transferred to. Reception of the [text request data] transmitted from the central management device MC in this way and the corresponding [text request data]
As the transfer operation to the terminal device S2 is executed, the transmission module of the terminal device f S + eventually receives (E N Q) indicating the end of the [text request data]. The above receiving and transmitting operations are also performed for [ENQ] indicating the end of this [text request data], but
Upon receiving (ENQ) indicating the end of this [text request data], the terminal device S. 's CPU converts this (E N Q ) into a terminal bag W S
After setting in the register 11 as transmission data for z, the end timer 6 is activated. Note that the end timer 6 will become clear later, but after receiving (E N Q) indicating the end of the [text request data], the end timer 6 receives [text data] that may continue to be received. Indicates the end of (ETX
) is set to the necessary and sufficient time to receive the information. Now, of course, the [text data] is not sent to the terminal device S, which is located next to the central management device MC, so the end timer is not received without receiving (ETX) indicating the end of the [text data]. 6 is a time amplifier, and the end timer 6 of the terminal device S becomes [timer end]. Therefore, when the next interrupt request is added from the interwoven timer 5, the CPUI sets the end flag in the flag register 4, clears the end timer 6, and ends the interrupt processing. Now, when the end flag is set, the CPU of the terminal device S1 clears the end flag in the flag register 4, checks the service address (SA) in the C text request data stored in the memory 2, and checks the service address (SA) in the C text request data stored in the memory 2. If (SA) matches its own address, register 1
However, since this operation example assumes a request for [text data] to the terminal device S7, the service address of the terminal device Sl (S
There is no loss in A), and therefore, C text data] is not set either. Therefore, only the [text request data] transmitted from the central management device MC is transferred from the terminal device S to the terminal device S2. Then, the above operation is performed on the terminal devices 82 to 57-1.
[Text request data] is transferred to the terminal device S4 repeatedly in time sequence until the end. Now, when the [text request data] is transferred to the terminal device S, the operation is the same as above until the end flag is set in the flag register 4 and the end timer 6 is cleared. Since the service addresses (SA) match when the service addresses (SA) are checked after the service is set up, the CPU of the terminal device S sets [text data] prepared in advance in the memory 2 to the register 11. do. Therefore, the transmission register 11 of the terminal device S7 becomes [transmission data present], so when the next interrupt request is added from the interwoven timer 5, the above [text data] is transferred to the parallel-to-serial converter 13 and then to the electro-optical converter. The signal is transmitted to the transmission module MO of the terminal device S, . . . 1 via the optical fiber OF. Therefore, the transmission module MD of the terminal bag W S , . . . continues to transmit the [text request data] to the terminal device S. will receive the [text data] that has occurred. Now, when the terminal device S q * 1 also receives data from the terminal device S7, it sets the received data in the transmission register 11 using the same procedure as above, and sends the data to the terminal device S1.
．． Send to 2. Similarly, it indicates the end of [text request data] (ENQ
), the termination timer 6 is also started, but the terminal device S0 is not connected to the terminal device S0. , 1, the [text data] is sent following the [text request data], so after the end timer 6 is activated, the terminal device S ,,+1 receives the [text data] before the end timer 6 times up. CETX) indicating the end is received. Then, the CPU of the terminal device S 1141 indicates the end of [text data] (ETXI), sets an end flag in the flag register 4, clears the end timer 6, and executes a service address (SA) verification operation. At this time, the service address (SA) naturally does not fail, so the terminal device S n++ is the [text request data] transferred from the terminal device S. and the terminal device '22' IS of the [text data] where the terminal device S. is generated. Then, the terminal devices S., 2 to S repeat the above operation sequentially in time order, and the central management device MC occurs [
[text request data] and [text data] generated by the terminal device S7 are transferred to the central management device MC. The data transferred to the central management device MC is converted into an electrical signal by a photoelectric converter OE included in the transmission module MD of the central management device, converted into a parallel format by a serial-parallel converter 14, and then sent to a receiving register 14. and the register 14 of the central management device MC is [reception ready].
become. Therefore, in response to a subsequent interrupt request, the interwoven timer of the central management device MC
The CPU of C receives the transferred data via the input/output port 3. Now, the [text request data] is first transferred to the central management device MC, and then the [text data] is transferred, but while the [text request data] is being received, the central management device MC
Since the data flag is not set in the flag register 4 of the MC, the [text request data] is not subjected to [post-reception processing] and the [text request data] disappears. On the other hand, when receiving (STX) indicating the start of [text data], the CPU sets a data flag in the flag register 4, so that the interwoven timer 5 receives the data flag in the interrupt handling routine in response to the interrupt request that occurred after that. [Post-reception processing] is performed on the data, and therefore, [text data] is stored in memory 2. Then, when receiving [ETX] indicating the end of [text data], the CPU Clear the data flag and end the data reception operation. Next, the second control method will be explained. In the case of the second '#i11 method as well, the CPU on the central management device Mc side processes normal management tasks according to the software in the memory 2 after power is turned on. Similarly, the CPU on the pachinko game machine side also sets an end flag in the flag register 4 after turning on the power, and then performs normal internal processing of the pachinko game according to the software in the memory 2. In the case of the second control method, only [text data] is transferred to the central management device MC, and [text request data] is not returned. Therefore, the central management unit MC does not use the data flag. First, when an instruction to collect the total out balls and total safe balls of the terminal bag W S n is given from the keyboard (not shown) of the central management device MC, the CPU on the central tube embedded ZMC side
Since I sets [text request data] in the register 11 through the input/output port 3, the register 11 in the transmission module MD of the central management device MC becomes [transmission data present]. Therefore, after the parallel-to-serial converter 13 has completed sending data and becomes ready for transmission, the text request data stored in the register 11 is generated in response to the interrupt request signal generated by the interwoven timer 5. ] is transmitted to the transmission module MD of the terminal device S1 via the parallel-to-serial converter TFI2S13, the electro-optical converter E〇, and the optical fiber OF. As a result, the reception register 12 in the transmission module MD of the terminal device S becomes [reception ready]. Therefore, CPtJl of the terminal device S, responds to the interrupt request received from the interwoven timer 5 after that,
[Text request data] written in the receiving register 12 is received via the input/output port 3, and the above C text request data] is written in the memory 2 as [post-reception processing].
α and indicates the end of [text request data] (ENQI
When received, an end flag is set in flag register 4. Now, when the end flag is set, the CPUI clears the end flag and then checks the service address (SA) included in the [text request data]. Since this operation example assumes a request for [text data] to the terminal device S7, there is no match between the service addresses (SA) of the terminal device s1, and therefore, the service address (SA) of the terminal device S1 does not match.
PUI is stored in memory 2 [text request data]
is set in the transmission register 11 as is. Therefore, the register 11 in the transmission module MD of the terminal RIS + becomes [transmission data available], and when the next interrupt request is made and the parallel-serial converter 13 becomes vacant and becomes [transmission ready], the register 11 becomes [transmission data available]. [Text request data] stored in the controller 11 is transferred to the terminal device S2 via the parallel-to-serial converter 13, the electro-optical converter E〇, and the optical fiber OF. Then, the terminal devices 32 to 80 to 1 also repeat the above operation in time order, and the [text request data] is sent to the three terminal devices.
is transferred. Now, even when the [text request data] is transferred to the terminal device S7, the operation is the same as above until the end flag is set in the flag register 4, but the service address (SA ), the service addresses (SA) match, so the CPU of the terminal device S, . writes [text data] prepared in advance in the memory 2 into the register 11. Then, this [text data] is transferred to the parallel-to-serial converter 13 in the interrupt processing routine in response to the interrupt request generated by the interwoven timer 5.
Lightning converter BO - terminal device S via optical fiber ○F
, l* (. Therefore, the transmission module M of the terminal device S fi* 1
D will receive the [text data] generated by the terminal device S7 instead of the [text request data], and this [text data] will be sent to the [text data] of the terminal W W "'""l.

, + 1 will eventually indicate the end of [text data] (
ETX). Upon reception of (ETX) indicating the end of [text data], the CPU of the terminal device S II 41 sets an end flag in the flag register 4. Then, when the end flag is set in the flag register 4, the CPU of the terminal device S,...1 performs a service address (SA) verification operation after clearing the end flag. SA)
is not included, so naturally the service addresses (SA) do not match. Therefore, the terminal device s,. 1 CPUI is terminal device S,,
The [text data] transmitted from the terminal device S,, -1 and stored in the memory 2 of the terminal device S, . Terminal device S at the next stage in an interrupt processing routine in response to an interrupt request subsequently made to CPU 1. , 2. Then, the terminal devices after terminal device S ,, l 2 repeat the same operation as above in time order, so terminal device "11"
Only the [text data] for which S n has occurred is transferred to the central management device MC and recorded in the reception register 12, and the transmission module MD of the central management device MC becomes [ready for reception]. Therefore, at the time S when an interrupt request is next applied to the CPIJI on the central management device MC side, the CPUI on the central management device MC side receives the transferred [text data] via the human output boat 3. Then, this [text data] is stored in the memory 2 as [post-reception processing], and the data reception operation is completed. Although the above example uses a pachinko game machine, card issuing machine, card payment machine, etc. as an example of the terminal device, the type of terminal device can be any type as long as it is placed inside a pachinko game parlor and has intelligent functions. Needless to say, it is not limited to the above. Also, in the above example, the out ball total and safe pitch total were used as an example of [text data], but
It goes without saying that the meaning of these numerical information will differ depending on the type of terminal device, and in addition to the above, for example, the number of times an electric accessory has reached a so-called jackpot state, the so-called divisor, etc. can be recorded in [text data]. Of course, it is also possible to include it in Further, although the above example uses one optical fiber as an example of the transmission line, it goes without saying that the material and structure of the transmission line are not essential to the present invention. Further, although the above example shows that each transmission module has the registers 11 and 12 built-in, it is also possible to use a specific area in the memory 2 as the registers 11 and 12. Further, although the above example shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a card-type pachinko game parlor, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied not only to card-type pachinko game parlors but also to pachinko game parlors in general. Furthermore, although the above example shows the central management device requesting data from the terminal device, the terminal bag T may also request data from other terminal devices or the central management device. It is possible.

【effect】

As explained above, according to the present invention, only the central management unit and the terminal equipment are connected in a chain, so the absolute amount of transmission lines is significantly reduced, reducing costs, and the so-called error Wiring is less dangerous. +2+ Also, as long as there is room for service addresses, even when adding a terminal device such as a pachinko game machine, simply connect the transmitting means and receiving means to the adjacent terminal device in a chain, and connect the added terminal device in a chain. This can be done simply by assigning a service address to the device. (3) Also, since each terminal device essentially relays data between adjacent terminal devices, and the line length between each terminal device is only a few tens of cm, data attenuation during transmission is There is no need to give any special consideration to (4) Data moves sequentially on a loop-shaped data way, so after the central management device sends [text request data] to a certain terminal device, the terminal device next to the central management device sends the above C text request. Once the reception process of [data] is completed, it becomes possible to send [text request data] to other terminal devices before the [text data] in response to the above [text request data] is returned, and many terminals Even when [text data] is continuously collected from the device, the process can be completed in a short time.
