Description

Recreation room monitoring network system.

The present invention relates to a game room monitoring network system that intensively monitors the status of an organic device by means of a plurality of organic device monitoring means and a centralized monitoring means connected to the network. The present invention relates to a false detection technique for detecting a simple system.

In recent years, organic devices such as pachinko devices have been widely used for electronicization, and when a large number of digits are rotated for a certain time and a combination of many digits is specified for a particular prize, Control to move to an easy position is performed. Such an induction condition is set in a controller for an organic device which is a combination of an arithmetic logic operation circuit centering on a CPU and a program executed in this circuit. Therefore, for example, the probability of variable granularity can be freely set by changing the program of the control device for organic devices.

In addition, with the electronicization of organic devices, the electronics of the game room where a large number of such organic devices are installed are rapidly progressing, and the organic conditions of all the organic devices are realized by the computer by connecting the organic devices and computers arranged in the game room. Monitoring in time is also a technically feasible situation.

However, in such organic devices, the program of the control device for organic devices has been tampered with the electronicization of the organic rules, and this has led to the possibility of a new illegal act of operating the organic devices by the illegal organic rules.

Since the organic rule is written in the passbook ROM, the organic EL can be caused by an unnatural organic condition by replacing the ROM on the control device substrate for the organic device. In practice, the probability of variable granularity becomes very high by abandoning under specific organic conditions, which cannot normally be obtained, and only a person who knows such an unnatural organic condition can obtain a large quantity of goods unjustly.

This kind of misconduct is not changed at all in appearance from the conventional organic apparatus, since the organic is not using a special apparatus in full swing. For this reason, it cannot be caught by the indefinite detection apparatus conventionally installed in an entertainment room, for example, a surveillance camera, a magnetic sensor, or a radio wave sensor. Moreover, since this cheating is continuously carried out by a control device for an unmodulated organic device, the damage caused by other cheating is incomparably large.

In addition, since the tampering of the program of the control device for organic devices is carried out only during the holiday or night when the game room is closed, it is necessary to hire a security guard in a 24-hour system to detect them. Expenses are on the rise.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the game room monitoring that can reliably detect the cheating by the program tampering with the organic device in a simple system using a network built in the game room. The purpose is to provide a network system.

The game room monitoring network system of the present invention has a network connection of a plurality of organic device monitoring means for monitoring a plurality of organic devices installed in the game room, and is connected to the game room by the centralized monitoring means communicating with the organic device monitoring means through the network. A recreation room monitoring network system for intensively monitoring the situation of an organic device in the present invention, comprising: a plurality of autonomous systems connected to the network and detecting abnormalities of the organic device and / or the organic device monitoring means generated at the closing of the recreation room; It is essential to have a monitoring means, an abnormal processing means for communicating with the autonomous monitoring means and the network, and executing the predetermined abnormal processing when the autonomous monitoring means detects an abnormality.

The recreation room monitoring network system includes a plurality of organic device monitoring means for managing the organic state of the organic device in real time and an organic device and / or organic device monitoring means generated at the closing of the game room in a network system including the centralized monitoring means. A plurality of autonomous monitoring means for detecting an abnormality and abnormal processing means for performing a predetermined abnormality processing when the autonomous monitoring means detects an abnormality are constituted by network connection. As a result, the abnormality of the organic apparatus and / or the organic apparatus monitoring means generated at the closing of the recreation room is detected by the autonomous monitoring means, and the detection result is appropriately processed by the abnormality processing means.

Here, the monitoring item by the autonomous monitoring means may be any design matter, for example, the casing open state of the organic device or the organic device monitoring means, the inability to communicate with the organic device or the organic device monitoring means, and the like. In addition, the abnormality processing carried out by the abnormality processing means is an arbitrary design matter. For example, a security agency outside the entertainment room may include a telegraph notification, an illumination lamp of an entertainment room, an alarm such as an emergency bell, or the photographing of cheating by a surveillance camera. have.

Therefore, according to the game room monitoring network system of the present invention, when the game room is closed by a simple hard configuration in which an information network constructed in the existing game room is used and the autonomous monitoring means and the abnormality processing means are connected to the network. It is possible to complete a complete security system.

The autonomous monitoring means requires an abnormal detection function of the organic device and a communication function through a network, but these functions are common to the organic device monitoring means. Therefore, the recreation room monitoring network system of the present invention can be configured by sharing the components of the autonomous monitoring means and the organic device monitoring means, and the system configuration can be made simpler, simpler and cheaper.

In addition, the autonomous monitoring means is provided for each organic apparatus, and the lower autonomous monitoring means for detecting the abnormality and the plurality of lower autonomous monitoring means communicate with each other in a network to execute the detection result and / or the functional test to communicate with the abnormality processing means. The self-monitoring means and two or more layers are preferably layered.

By adopting such a hierarchical structure of autonomous monitoring means, the complexity of wiring for directly connecting a plurality of autonomous monitoring means and anomalous processing means respectively installed in response to organic devices scattered in a large entertainment room is eliminated, and the upper limit autonomous monitoring is limited. It is only necessary to connect the means and the abnormality processing means, and the communication load of the abnormality processing means is also reduced, so that a simple personal computer can be used.

Further, it is more preferable that at least a part of the abnormality processing means and the plurality of autonomous monitoring means have a power supply backup circuit which maintains its function even when the commercial power supply is cut off. In recent years, cheating tends to be more advanced and organized, and there is a possibility that cheating is performed by cutting off the main power of the game room. In addition, it is not desirable that accidental blackouts become impossible to detect fraudulent activity. On the other hand, to back up the power of all the electrical and electronic equipment in the recreation room, a generator of considerable output is required. Therefore, if each of the abnormality processing means and the autonomous monitoring means necessary for the security at the time of closing is provided with the power supply backup circuit which maintains the function, the power supply backup circuit can use a light weight and low cost battery, City security is also certain.

It is more preferable that a plurality of autonomous monitoring means have different identification information in each, and the abnormality processing means obtains the identification information via a network, and has a system configuration for determining the authenticity of the autonomous monitoring means. With such a configuration, it is possible to reliably detect fraudulent acts such as program tampering or CPU replacement of the autonomous monitoring means.

The present invention includes the following states. The first state is the convergence of the game room monitoring network system and the POS system. As one of the POS systems, there is a network system that connects loan machines such as organic media scattered in the game room, or a network system that connects a prize release device. The former is in charge of managing the sale of pre-paid cards (prepaid cards), etc. The latter is responsible for managing the release of light wind in real time. In particular, the entertainment room, which aims to improve service in recent years, has various prizes and manages commodities comparable to those in the supermarket, and electrical and electronic devices such as cash dispensers are introduced to these stores. Therefore, large-scale POS system and game room monitoring network system exist side by side in the game room, and many of them operate independently. However, in the same way as control devices for organic devices, there have been a number of irregularities aimed at such POS systems, for example, the use of modulation prepaid cards. There is.

In other words, by extending the monitoring target of the autonomous monitoring means to the POS terminal, and detecting abnormality of the POS terminal, for example, the opening state of the casing body such as a loan bead device, the release of strange goods, etc. The proper abnormality treatment by the abnormality treatment means is possible.

Other states include connection to a network of various electric and electronic devices existing in the entertainment room besides the POS system and further monitoring. That is, there are various electric electronic devices present in the entertainment room, such as sound systems, air conditioning systems, various vending machines such as cigarettes and juices, etc. for enhancing the habitability. Maintaining and continuing the normal operation of these apparatuses is indispensable for game room management. Therefore, by using the self-monitoring means to detect abnormalities that are likely to occur in these devices, and to prevent misconduct, etc., and to prevent irregularities during the night and on holidays or to deal with the problems more quickly, the soundness and safety of the game room management can be improved. You can increase it.

Next, the embodiment of the present disease will be described according to the embodiment. Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the overall configuration of an entertainment room monitoring network system according to an embodiment, and Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship around the pachinko organic apparatus P1 of the entertainment room monitoring network system. In addition, the game room monitoring network system of this embodiment is adapted to adapt to the game room of the pachinko game which 18 pachinko organic apparatuses are attached to four groups from # 1 to # 4, respectively.

The control device for organic devices PN1 attached to the back of the pachinko organic device P1 is a microcomputer information processing device, which stores in advance the organic rules of the pachinko organic device P1 and according to the organic rules.

For this reason, the controller PN1 for organic devices is provided with various sensors for detecting the organic state of the pachinko organic device P1, for example, the granular sensor for detecting the granules of the pachinko beads at various granular openings, and the handle 39. A detection output such as a human body sensor for detecting contact of the human body is input, and a control signal is output to various electric devices provided on the organic plate 40, that is, a granular device lamp or a sound source. The controller PN1 for organic devices is connected to the organic data collection device TM1 provided for each of various kinds of organic paddles P1.

The organic data collection device TN1 is provided with a processor 12, an interface circuit 15, and a communication port 17 having a configuration described later. The organic data collection device TM1 collects operation performance data of the pachinkok or the disconnection of the signal line between the pachinkkok, such as the input / output of the pachinko beads or the output from the controller for the organic device indicating the occurrence of large hits. Various kinds of managements for collecting signals from the outside and their work are carried out.

In addition, the pachinko organic apparatus P1 launches the organic beads supplied to the receiving plate 38 to the organic plate 40 at a resilience force determined by manipulating the handle 39 as shown in FIG. 2. It is common to enter and win prize beads.

The communication port 17 of the organic data collecting device TM1 is connected to a communication line constituting a business network BN corresponding to the first network. As shown in FIG. 1, all 18 units installed in correspondence with the pachinko organic apparatus P1 constituting the group are connected to the sales network BN surrounded by each of the groups # 1 to # 4. It is connected to the main network SN via a router RA for network control which relays with each device at a speed of 1.25 Mbps.

The lower autonomous monitoring device TL is assembled to the top lamp installed on the upper part of the frame in which the pachinko organic device P1 is installed. The same chip as the processor 12 of the organic data collection device TN1 is adopted as the processor 22 of the lower autonomous monitoring device TL. In addition, the interface circuit 25 of the lower autonomous monitoring device (TL) includes an organic data collection device (TM1), a beads dispensing device (32) for replenishing and supplying organic beads to the Parchco organic device (P1), a hardening or a prefade card, and the like. It is connected to the bead lending device 35 which lends organic beads by input, and the lamp group 37 etc. which show a big hit and a trouble generation, and is comprised by the electric circuit suitable for communication and control with these apparatuses. And event management by monitoring the opening and closing status of metal frame and machine frame of bassac organic device (P1), magnetic sensor for false detection, electromagnetic wave sensor, etc., and control of flickering of top lamp when call switch is operated during high heat. Doing. The interface circuit 25 also has a power supply circuit for supplying power to the pachinko organic device P1 and the organic data collection device TM1, and the lower autonomous monitoring device TL is the pachinko organic device P1 and the organic data. The power supply of the collecting device TM1 can be switched directly.

The signal output from the pachinko organic device P1 is used for both the organic data collection device TN1 and the lower autonomous monitoring device TL. For this reason, the signal line from the pachinko organic apparatus P1 is once connected to the signal branch box SBB, as shown in FIG. 1, and is branched from this signal branch box to be input to a predetermined control device.

As a result, a signal branch box SBB, a lower autonomous monitoring device TL, and an organic data collecting device TM1 are prepared for one pachinko organic device P1, and they operate in a group. In the configuration in which the control device PN1 for organic devices and the data collection device TM1 for organic devices are separated from the signal branch box SBB as in the embodiment, it is easy to maintain compatibility with existing Pacchinco organic devices. It is also possible to configure all the apparatuses integrally.

The communication port 27 of the lower autonomous monitoring device TL is connected to a communication line constituting a monitoring network CN corresponding to the second network. As shown in FIG. 1, all the 18 units in which the group is arranged are connected to the monitoring network CN surrounded by each of the groups # 1 to # 4, and the lower autonomous monitoring device (TL) is connected to each other at a speed of 1.25 Mbps. It connects to the above-mentioned business network BN through the network control router RB which relays.

The same processor as the organic data collection device (TM1) or the lower autonomous device (TL) is also used for the other devices such as the router (RA) that is responsible for relaying each device and the higher-level autonomous monitoring device or corner lamp control device described later. Each device is programmed to autonomously collect operational performance data or event performance data and manage them as a log. The configuration of the processor will be described later.

The median autonomous monitoring system (TM2A), the corner lamp control devices (CLA) and (CLB) are installed at each corner of each group # 1 to # 4, and the median autonomous monitoring device (TM2A) controls the corner lamps in the sales network BN. The devices CLA and CLB are connected to the monitoring network CN, respectively. The median autonomous monitoring device (TM2A) communicates with the organic data collecting device (TM1), and aggregates the operational data collected by the organic data collecting device (TM1) of the group, and the pachinko organic device (P1) of the group. It is to centrally manage operation performance data. The first corner lamp control device CLA communicates with the lower autonomous monitoring device TL, and performs flashing of corner lamps installed at one corner of the group according to the request, and the function monitoring of the lower autonomous monitoring device TL. Backup the log. The second corner lamp control device CLB communicates with the lower autonomous monitoring device TL in the same way, and is responsible for flashing control of the corner lamps installed at the other corners of the group in accordance with the request.

In this way, the two networks BN and CN prepared in each group # 1 to # 4 are connected to the main network SN through the routers RA and RB, and the upper level autonomous monitoring devices TM3 and TM2B which centrally manage the game room. It is connected to the hall computer HC and the notification node MN.

The first higher-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 aggregates and manages the performance of the entire entertainment room through the network. The second higher level autonomous monitoring device TM2B sums up the operation performance data collected by the median autonomous monitoring device TM2A, and aggregates and manages the operation results for each model of the puzzling pole of the entire entertainment room.

The hall computer HC is constituted by a device monitoring server STS and a log monitoring server LOG, and is configured to be able to publish data on an information network system through a hub. The device monitoring server (STS) is a server for each device monitoring, which communicates with a corresponding device at the request of the owner, obtains data, and discloses the operation performance data and event performance data in real time. In addition, the log monitoring server (LOG) collects data managed by each device by polling, makes a database, and discloses it to the operator.

The notification norm MN is a device connectable to the monitoring computer ACC via an external communication line TN. Therefore, the communication norm (MN) has a built-in communication modem, and the above-mentioned various devices (organic device control device PN1, organic data collection device TM1, lower autonomous monitoring device TL, intermediate autonomous monitoring device TM2A, upper level) that detected an abnormality are detected. When an abnormality detection from the autonomous monitoring devices TM2B and TM3 is obtained through the network, the other party is selected according to the abnormality and automatically notified to the outside of the entertainment room.

The monitoring computer ACC is connected to the external communication line TN via the modem M. FIG.

The surveillance camera control device CMC connected to the backbone network SN via the router RA is a controller for the surveillance camera WC. The surveillance camera control device CMC provides a surveillance function using the surveillance camera WC to the entertainment room surveillance network system of the present embodiment. The surveillance camera control device CMC for controlling the surveillance camera WC can be systemized as a node in charge of one of the abnormal processes described later by connecting to the same network.

In addition, the apparatus shown by hatching in FIG. 1, that is, the lower autonomous monitoring device (TL), the median autonomous monitoring device (TM2A), the routers (RA, RB), and the normal Norwood (MN) are also used during a holiday or night when the game room is closed It is a device that supplies power, and performs data collection, communication, and log recording assigned to it in a 24-hour system. In addition, the device, the notification norm (MN), and the median autonomous monitoring device (TM2A) indicated by * in FIG. 1 have a battery backup circuit, and can function even in a power failure in which supply of commercial power is stopped. .

The processor 12 of the organic data collecting device TM1 is a one-chip type processor incorporating three processors as shown in FIG. 3, and in the embodiment, a Toronto Neuron chip TMON 3120 is used. This processor 12 incorporates three CPUs: a media access (hereinafter referred to as MAC) CPU 41, a network CPU 42, and an application CPU 43. In the common bus 44 for addresses and data to which these CPUs 41, 42, and 43 are commonly connected, RAM 45, which is a shared memory, EEPROM 47, which is a nonvolatile memory, and a program are stored in advance. One ROM 49 is connected. In addition, a network communication port 50 and an I / O port 52 which perform input / output with the outside are also connected to this common bus 44. The network communication pod 50 is a port for implementing data communication according to a predetermined communication protocol. The I / O port 52 is in charge of input / output of data such as the interface circuit 15 connected to various electric transfer devices such as the pachinko organic device P1.

The EEPROM 47 is a nonvolatile memory that stores network configuration and address designation information, a 48-bit identification code, a program for identification, and the like. Other than the 48-bit identification code, the program can be rewritten.

The identification code is recorded unmodifiably in the manufacturing process, and a different code can be recorded for each chip. Although the present embodiment is used for identification of the organic data collection device TM1, for example, assuming that the control device for organic device PN1 and the organic data collection device TH1 are integrally formed, a total of 48 bits. Can be divided into several groups, and information such as manufacturer, model, serial number, and installation hole of organic control device can be assigned to each group. Since this identification code can be read from the outside through the network, it is easy to know which information is outputted by which process 12 (i.e., control device PN1 or organic data collection device TM1 for organic devices). In addition, although the processor of the organic data collection device TM1 uses a normal Neumann type computer, there is no problem, but it is preferable that each processor has a different identification code, and this identification code cannot be modulated.

In the rewritable portion and the ROM 49 by the program of the EEPROM 47, a program necessary for exchanging data with the Pachico organic device P1 is stored. When the organic data collecting device TM1 and the organic device control device PN1 for the pachinko organic device P1 are integrally formed, the pachinko organic device in the EEPROM 47 or the ROM 48 is used. The rule of how to control each electric and electronic device of the pachinko organic device P1 next based on the organic rule of the pachinko organic device P1 is stored. In this case, the three CPUs 41 to 43 control the pachinko organic apparatus P1 based on this induction rule, thereby achieving pachinko organic electronic control.

In addition, the processor 12 has a built-in control circuit 54 for outputting control signals such as clocks and resets of the CPUs 41 to 43. In the present embodiment, a processor 12 of a type having a built-in RAM 45 and an EEPROM 47 is used. However, the data bus 44 is drawn out, and the RAM and the EEPROM can be externally attached. It is also possible to use a processor 12 of the type. In addition, although EEPROM is used in this embodiment as a storage means for storing data non-volatile, a flash ROM, an electrical storage means, or the like can be used instead.

As described above, any of the organic data collection device TM1, the lower autonomous monitoring device TL, the middle autonomous monitoring device TM2A, the upper autonomous monitoring device TM2B, TM3, and the routers RA, RB are the same architecture. A processor 12 having is used. For this reason, ID management of each processor 12, matching of a communication protocol, etc. can be performed easily. Therefore, it is also easy to develop a large network system in which a plurality of organic data collection devices TM1 are connected. In addition, since the above-described identification code is assigned to each processor 12, it is easy to identify a specific processor even on a large network, and it can be helpful for improving the security of the entire network. By using this identification code, the various devices constituting the entertainment room monitoring network system, for example, the lower autonomous monitoring device TL and the corresponding organic data collecting device TM1, control to recognize each other. This is because the lower autonomous monitoring device TL and the organic data collecting device TM1 combined at the time of installation of the pachinko organic device P1 send each other's identification codes to each other, and the identification codes are transmitted to a part of the communication protocol in subsequent communication. It is done by adding. When the upper level device which inquires the identification code is sent from the lower device with the data having the identification code opposite to the identification code recognized at the time of installation, it does not receive the subsequent data and notifies the outside as a combination error. In addition, even when the identification code is not sent for more than a predetermined time due to a partial power cut or the like, the lower autonomous monitoring device TL determines that an abnormality has occurred.

Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the vertical relationship between the devices for verifying the identification code. As shown in the drawing, the first upper level autonomous monitoring device TM3 is located at the top of the second upper level autonomous monitoring device TM2B, surveillance camera control device CMC, device monitoring server STS, and log monitoring server LOG. ), The median autonomous monitoring system (TM2A) requests an identification code, and these devices return the identification code according to the request. In addition, the median autonomous monitoring device (TM2A) is provided with identification codes for 18 soldiers' own organic data collection devices (TM1), lower autonomous monitoring devices (TL), and first and second corner lamp control devices (CLA and CLB). And verify the identification code returned from their equipment. Inquiry of the identification code is carried out at the time of data communication between devices and at regular intervals, and especially for the organic data collecting device TM1 even when an error occurs in a large hit and the pachinko organic device P1.

In certain devices such as the organic data collection device (TN1), the power supply is stopped during the holidays or at night. When the power supply is stopped normally in these devices, the identification code until the power supply is resumed. The inquiry operation of is stopped.

The three CPUs 41 to 43 of the processor 12 can exchange data with each other by using the RAM 45 or the EEPROM 47 as a shared memory as shown in FIG. When the application CPU 41 to the CPU 43 receive various types of data through the I / O port 52 and record them as a backup, the network CPU 42 refers to this backup and stores these data. It can be read and written to a network backup.

Data recorded in the network backup can be referred to from the MAC CPU 41, and the MAC CPU 41 can output these data to the outside via the communication port 50. In addition, by traveling along the reverse path, data read from the network through the communication port 50 is transferred to the various electrical and electronic devices (for example, organic bead firing devices) of the organic device P1 via the application CPU 43. It is also possible to output.

The processing executed in the game room monitoring network system of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described next. FIG. 6 shows an upper autonomous monitoring device TM3, TM2B, an intermediate autonomous monitoring device TM2A, a lower autonomous monitoring device TL, and an organic data collecting device TM1 (hereinafter collectively referred to simply as monitoring norm TM). This is a flowchart of a notification request program to be executed, and a communication program of a notification node MN which is started up in response to a notification request from this notification request program.

As described above, the monitoring norm TM autonomously collects operation performance data or event performance data of the pachinko organic apparatus P1 under its control, and inputs information to manage this as a log (step 100). When the operation performance data or event performance data inputted here is determined according to a predetermined standard (step 110), and when it is determined that the data includes an abnormality deemed necessary to notify the third party, The abnormality and the notification request are output to the MN) (step 120). Thereafter, the data input at step 100 is stored and managed as a log (step 130). Herein, the abnormality in which information is deemed necessary by the third-party institution referred to in step 110 is that the lower autonomous monitoring device TL is the metal frame of the organic device P1 at night or a holiday when the entertainment room is closed. When the opening of the machine frame is detected, the normal communication from the lower autonomous monitoring device (TL) or the median autonomous monitoring device (TM2A) is not available or the inquiry of the identification code is in a bad state. In addition, when the game room is in operation, the inquiry of the identification code of any monitoring node TM is in a bad state.

The notification node MN, which has received a notification request from any of the monitoring nodes TM, starts the communication program and inputs the abnormal data transmitted from the monitoring node TN (step 200). Then, an automatic logon is made to the predetermined telephone number and the third party notification is executed based on the abnormal data input in step 200 (step 210). Here, the third party notification means two types of alert message transmission to the personal computer connected to the public line or voice notification to the telephone in the present embodiment. Any notification may be arbitrarily selected.

As described above, the game room monitoring network system of the present embodiment uses the existing main network (SN) and business network (BN) to monitor the operating data of the game room in real time, and adds the monitoring network (CN) to the network. It is a simple network system that is easy to do, and it is possible to reliably detect fraudulent acts performed day and night on the pachinko organic device P1.

Furthermore, Surveillance Wood ™ is programmed to autonomously collect and manage jurisdiction and event data as logs. For this reason, each nord constituting the game room monitoring network system is distributed in charge of the information processing load, and can be constructed as a low cost system using a low cost microcomputer. Moreover, the game room monitoring network system suitable for a small to very large game room can be constructed easily and inexpensively, regardless of the size of the game room of the embodiment.

In addition, when an abnormality is detected by the monitoring norm TM, a notification is automatically sent to a third-party institution set in advance in the notification norm MN. none.

In addition, the monitoring norm (TM) is stratified as a lower, middle, and upper autonomous monitoring device, and part of it is divided into a built-in battery backup circuit for night monitoring and power failure. For this reason, the entertainment room monitoring network system of the embodiment simplifies the wiring of the network connection and greatly reduces the communication load between the devices, and certainly detects the irregularity even in the event of a large-scale irregularity or a power failure to cut off the commercial power supply of the entertainment room. You can do it. If the negation of opening the machine frame of the pachinko organic apparatus P1 at night is performed first, this information is transmitted to the median autonomous monitoring apparatus TM2A and accumulated therein. Therefore, even if the power is cut off afterwards, the information is stored in the backed-up intermediate self-monitoring device TM2A and can be notified to the outside. On the other hand, when the power supply to the lower autonomous monitoring device TL is cut off first, since the power supply of the intermediate self-monitoring device TM2A can detect that the power supply is cut off, it can be determined that this is an abnormality and can be notified to the outside.

In addition, an identification code is assigned to each device constituting a large number of game room monitoring network systems, and the inquiry of the identification code is also subject to abnormal judgment. Therefore, very malicious acts such as tampering with the program or replacing the CPU are assured. It can be detected.

In the present embodiment, the configuration for wiring two types of networks, namely, the sales network BN and the monitoring network CN, to each group has been described, but this is an example in which communication devices are decentralized to facilitate network communication.

Therefore, the network wiring may be simplified in the range allowed by the communication speed of each device constituting the entertainment room monitoring network system, the information transmission efficiency of the network, and the like.

As mentioned above, although the Example of this onset was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to such an Example at all, It is a matter of course that it can implement in various states in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the present invention is also applicable to the false detection of other organic devices such as a slot machine. The lower autonomous monitoring device (TL), the organic data collecting device (TM1), and the control device (PN1) of the pachinko organic device (P1) are all integrated to realize all functions by a single or several CPUs. good.
