BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an organic point monitoring network system for intensively monitoring the status of an organic device by means of a plurality of network-connected organic device monitoring means and a centralized monitoring means. It relates to a fraud detection technology that detects fraudulently and reliably.

In recent years, organic devices such as pachinko devices have been widely promoted, and the number of digits is rotated for a certain time depending on the granularity of a specific granular ball, and the combination of the numbers of digits is specific. Control such as moving to a position that is easy to win a prize is performed. Such an induction condition is set in the controller for the organic device which consists of a combination of an arithmetic logic calculation circuit centering on a CPU and a program executed by this circuit. Therefore, for example, the probability of the 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 electronicization of organic points in which many of these organic devices are installed is also rapidly progressing, and the organic conditions of all organic devices are connected by connecting the organic devices and computers arranged in the organic points by a network. Monitoring in real time by computer is also technically possible.

However, in such an organic device, in accordance with the electronicization of the organic rule, the program of the control device for the organic device has been tampered with, and this has led to the possibility of new misconduct of operating the organic device by an illegal organic rule. Since the organic rule is normally recorded in the ROM, by changing the ROM on the substrate of the controller for the organic device, it is possible to induce an unfavorable organic condition. In practice, by abandoning under specific organic conditions that are not normally available, the probability of variable granularity becomes very high, and a person who knows these unclean organic conditions in detail can obtain an illegally large amount of goods.

Since this kind of cheating is not carried out using a special mechanism in the midst of abandonment, there is no difference in appearance from the ordinary organic apparatus. For this reason, it cannot be caught by the indefinite detection apparatus conventionally installed in an organic point, for example, a surveillance camera, a magnetic sensor, or a radio wave sensor. Moreover, since this cheating is continuously carried out by an unjustly modulated control device for organic devices, a large amount of damage comparable to that caused by other cheating occurs.

In addition, an unfair alteration of the program of the control device for organic devices is performed only on holidays or nights when the abandoned shop is closed. Therefore, it is necessary to hire a security guard on a 24-hour basis to detect this. Security costs are on the rise.

In addition, there are various kinds of organic devices, and it is also common to replace the organic devices with new models at regular intervals even in the same organic shop. Moreover, the organic apparatus of several model is installed in the same organic spot without exception. For this reason, for example, it is very difficult to design and provide a security device capable of dealing with irregularities without limiting the model, even if a specific organic use requires a variety of organic devices to be monitored.

[Technical problem to be achieved]

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and to provide an organic point monitoring network system capable of detecting cheating with a reliable and simple system regardless of the type and change of the organic device to be monitored. The purpose.

[Configuration and Function of Invention]

Organic point monitoring network system of the present invention;

A plurality of organic device monitoring means for monitoring each organic device installed in a plurality of organic shops is connected to a network, and the centralized monitoring means for communicating with the organic device monitoring means via the network is used for each organic device in the organic shop. A spot monitoring network system for intensively monitoring a situation;

The organic apparatus monitoring means;

Device monitoring means disposed in the vicinity of each organic device and communicating at least security information of each organic device with said centralized monitoring means via said network;

It is essential to have auxiliary monitoring means attached to each of the organic apparatuses and supporting auxiliary information collection and / or information processing by the apparatus monitoring means.

The organic apparatus monitoring means of the organic point monitoring network system of the present invention performs monitoring of the organic apparatus by a joint operation of the apparatus monitoring means and the auxiliary monitoring means. That is, the device monitoring means is a means which is arranged in the vicinity of the organic device and realizes a main function of communicating at least security information of the organic device with the centralized monitoring means via a network, and is widely used as an organic point monitoring network system of an organic shop. The configuration used can be used. By the way, the organic apparatus to be monitored by the apparatus monitoring means is provided with various apparatuses in accordance with the diversity of the organic, and if the organic situation of all the organic apparatuses is to be monitored, it is possible to use a configuration widely used as the apparatus monitoring means. It is virtually impossible. Thus, for the information communication except at least the security information, the interface function between the device monitoring means and the organic device is left to the auxiliary monitoring means. In other words, the auxiliary monitoring means specializes in the function of assisting information collection and / or information processing by the device monitoring means, thereby achieving information communication between various organic devices and widely used device monitoring means. will be. As a result, the organic point monitoring network system of the present invention can be applied and introduced to all organic points, and even if the organic device is replaced at the organic point introduced once, the auxiliary monitoring means is invariant. It can be used as an enemy. Of course, when the auxiliary monitoring means is realized using a computer, it is often sufficient to change only the software.

In addition, since the function is differentiated, it is only necessary to continuously supply power to the device monitoring means that realizes the monitoring function in order to cope with the cheating which cannot be specified in time, and is very efficient and secure. You can build a utility system. In other words, as described above, cheating at night is mainly caused by system mismodulation such as ROM replacement. Therefore, security information such as detection of behavior caused by such system tampering, for example, unauthorized opening of metal frame or mechanical frame of pachinko organic band, is the exclusive monitoring item of device monitoring means, and other organic situation information By designing a supplementary monitoring item that uses auxiliary monitoring means, a security system can be constructed very efficiently, regardless of day or night.

It is also possible to design the organic spot monitoring network system by integrally configuring the auxiliary monitoring means integrally with the control means for the organic apparatus which stores the organic rules of the organic apparatus and controls the organic apparatus based on the organic rules. As described above, the control means for the organic device is configured as a logic operation circuit centering on the CPU, and has sufficient functions necessary for controlling the organic device itself. On the other hand, even though a logic operation circuit may use a specialized one for controlling an organic device, its versatility is very high and various controls are possible. Therefore, the logic operation circuit used as the control means for the organic device generally leaves a lot of room for processing capability. Therefore, if the spare portion of the processing capacity is designed to function as an auxiliary monitoring means, the organic spot monitoring network system can be made simpler and cheaper, and the replacement of the organic device can be simplified. It is also possible to implement the control means for the organic device and the auxiliary monitoring means by another processor, and to assemble both on the same board so as to share a power supply and necessary information. In addition, it is also possible to store separate processors for realizing both in the same chip and to make one chip.

Then, the event management by monitoring the opening and closing situation of the metal frame and the mechanical frame of the pachinko organic device P1, the magnetic sensor for the false detection, the electromagnetic sensor, etc., and the flashing of the top lamp when the call switch is operated during a large hit Is doing. The interface circuit 25 also has a power supply circuit for supplying power to the pachinko organic device P1 and the organic data auxiliary collecting device TM1. The lower autonomous monitoring device TMX is connected to the pachinko organic device P1. ) And the organic data auxiliary collecting device TM1 can be directly turned on and off.

The communication port 27 of the lower autonomous monitoring device TMX is connected to a communication line constituting a monitoring network CN corresponding to the second network (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIG. 1, all the subordinate autonomous monitoring apparatuses TMX in which the group is arrange | positioned are connected to the monitoring network CN enclosed in each corner of each corner, and relay with each apparatus at the speed of 1.25 Mbps. It is connected to the above-mentioned business network BN via a router RA for network control. In addition, by using the information collection and communication functions that the TMS basically has, other devices prepared for each group, such as pachinko ball counters, organic group safes, currency exchange machines, ticket machines, and ball loan machines The subordinate autonomous monitoring device TMX is also prepared, and a configuration capable of communicating the use status and security information to the monitoring network CN is adopted.

In addition, other devices such as routers (RA, RB), which are responsible for relaying each device, and intermediate and upper autonomous monitoring devices and corner lamp control devices described later also include organic data auxiliary collection devices (TM1) and lower autonomous monitoring devices (TMX). Is configured using a processor, and each device is programmed to autonomously collect operation performance data or event performance data and manage them as logs. The configuration of the processor will be described later.

In the monitoring network CN for each group, an intermediate autonomous monitoring device TPM is provided, and is connected to the main network SN via the router RA. The median autonomous monitoring device (TPM) is a device that is responsible for relaying communication performed by the lower autonomous monitoring device (TMX) as a main function, prioritizing the contents of the communication information by equalizing the traffic of the monitoring network (CN). Communicate with. In addition, the preliminary intermediate autonomous monitoring device (TPMS) connected to the main network SN receives and receives information from the lower autonomous monitoring device (TMX) when the function of any intermediate autonomous autonomous sensing device (TPM) is deteriorated. .

In this way, the two networks BN and CN prepared in each group are connected to the main network SN through the routers RA and RB, and the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 and the console (in which central points are managed) are managed. PC).

The upper autonomous monitoring device (TM3) is a device that achieves a hall computer function that manages the entire pachinko store, and the security events of the entire pachinko store that are sent from all the lower autonomous monitoring devices (TMX) through the network. Count and manage the performance, or execute printer output of these results. In addition, the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 notifies the third party organization via the public line at the time of a security event during the night monitoring, or operates instead of this when the function of the console PC described below is not available. do.

The console PC is a computer device for setting the network environment such as setting operating parameters of the monitoring system, setting identification data to each monitoring device, and starting the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 or closing the business. The final output data from the lower autonomous monitoring device (TMX), the business day report, the adjustment of the nail, the operation data collection from the upper autonomous monitoring device (TM3), the business day report, etc. are printed out. In addition, the console PC has a function of downloading operational parameter settings such as stopping use of the machine and upper and lower limits of detection of the start event to the lower monitoring device.

In addition, the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 by an oblique line, the lower autonomous monitoring device (TMX), the median autonomous monitoring device (TPM), the auxiliary median autonomous monitoring device (TMPS), the router (RA) and the higher autonomous monitoring device (TM3) It is a device that supplies power even during the closing days or nights of abandoned shops and performs data collection, communication, and log recording of the jurisdiction on a 24-hour basis. In addition, the high-level autonomous monitoring device (TM3) and the mid-range autonomous monitoring device (TPM) shown in FIG. There is a number.

As shown in FIG. 3, the processor 12 of the organic data auxiliary collection apparatus TM1 is a one-chip type processor in which three processors are incorporated. In the embodiment, a neuron chip TMON3120 manufactured by Toshiba was used. The 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 addition, the common bus 44 for addresses and data to which these CPUs 41, 42, and 43 are commonly connected includes RAM 45 as a shared memory, EEPROM 47 as a nonvolatile memory, a program, and the like. ROM 49 which stores the data in advance is connected. In addition, the network communication port 50 and the I / O port 52 which perform input / output with the outside are also connected to this common bus 44. FIG. The network communication port 50 is a port for implementing data communication based on a predetermined communication protocol. The I / O port 52 is responsible for inputting and outputting data to and from the interface circuit 15 connected to various electric and electronic 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 control program, and the like. Other than the 48-bit identification code, the program can be rewritten. The identification code is recorded immutably in the manufacturing process, and different codes can be recorded for each chip. In the present embodiment, the organic data auxiliary collection apparatus TM1 is used for identification. For example, if the organic apparatus auxiliary collecting apparatus TM1 and the organic data auxiliary collecting apparatus TM1 are integrally formed, the total is 48. The identification code of the bit can be divided into several groups, and information such as the manufacturer, model, serial number, and installation hole of the organic control device can be assigned to each group. Since this identification code can be read out from the outside via a network, which information is output by which processor 12 (i.e., controller PN1 or organic data auxiliary collecting device TM1) for which organic device. It can be easily seen. In addition, although the processor of the organic data auxiliary collection apparatus TM1 does not interfere with using a normal Neumann type computer at all, it is preferable that the identification code is different from each other by the processor.

In the rewritable portion and the ROM 49 by the program of the EEPROM 47, a program necessary for exchanging data with the pachinko organic apparatus P1 is stored. In addition, when the organic data auxiliary collection apparatus TM1 and the organic apparatus control apparatus PN1 for the pachinko organic apparatus PN1 are integrally formed, the pachinko in the EEPROM 47 or the ROM 48 is integrated. On the basis of the organic rules of the organic device and the organic state of the pachinko organic device P1, the rules of how to control each electric / electronic device of the pachinko organic device P1 next are 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. Of course, the CPU controlling the pachinko organic device P1 may be a processor separate from the three CPUs 41 to 43, and may be integrated by mounting them on the same board to supply power or signals, In addition, the integration of four processors in one chip may be achieved.

In addition, the processor 12 also includes a 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 in which the RAM 45 or the EEPROM 47 is incorporated is used. The common bus 44 is drawn out to the outside, and the RAM, the EEPROM, and the like are externally used. It is also possible to use a processor 12 of the attachable type. In this embodiment, EEPROM is used as a storage means for storing data nonvolatile. Instead, a flash ROM, magnetic storage means, or the like may be used.

As described above, the organic data auxiliary collection device TM1, the lower autonomous monitoring device TMX, the median autonomous monitoring device TPM, the upper autonomous monitoring device TM3, and the routers RA and RB have the same architecture. Branch is using the processor 12. Therefore, it is possible to easily manage the ID of each processor 12, match the communication protocol, and the like. Therefore, it is also easy to develop a large-scale network system in which a plurality of subordinate autonomous monitoring devices (TMX) are connected. In addition, since each processor 12 is provided with the above-described identification code, it is easy to identify a specific processor even on a large network, and can contribute to the improvement of the security of the entire network. By using this identification code, the various devices constituting the abandoned point monitoring network system, for example, the lower autonomous monitoring device TMX and the corresponding organic data auxiliary collection device TM1, control to recognize each other. . This means that, at the time of installation of the pachinko organic apparatus P1, the combined lower autonomous monitoring apparatus TMX and the organic data auxiliary collecting apparatus TM1 send each other an identification code, and in subsequent communication, the identification code is communicated. By adding to a part of the protocol. The higher level device which checks the identification code, if data having an identification code other than the identification code recognized at the time of installation is sent from the lower device, does not accept the subsequent data, and the external device is set as an abnormality of the combination. Notify

4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the vertical relationship between the devices for verifying the identification code. As shown in the figure, the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3, which is positioned at the top, requests an identification code from the mid-range autonomous monitoring device TPM, and these devices return the identification code in accordance with the request. In addition, the TMP requires identification codes for all the organic data auxiliary collecting devices TM1 and TX in the groups that it manages and returns from these devices. Verify the identification code. The identification code is checked at the time of data communication between devices and at regular intervals. In particular, the organic data auxiliary collection device TM1 is also performed at the time of a large hit and an error of the Parchco organic device P1 to ensure security. In addition, as described in FIG. 1, predetermined devices such as the organic data auxiliary collecting device TM1 stop the power supply on holidays and at night, but the checking operation of the identification code is interrupted during this period.

5 is explanatory drawing which showed the flow of the information on the monitoring network of security data and organic data obtained from the pachinko organic apparatus P1. As shown, the security data from the pachinko organic apparatus P1 is input directly to the lower autonomous monitoring apparatus TMX without passing through the organic data auxiliary collection apparatus TM1 (see FIG. 2). In addition, the lower autonomous monitoring device (TMX) accumulates operation data consisting of organic data input through the organic data auxiliary collecting device (TM1) and security data directly input, and outputs it to the median autonomous monitoring device (TPM). do. The median autonomous monitoring device (TPM) that receives these data stacks and stores the operation data from the lower autonomous monitoring device (TMX) under management object in the order of receipt, and stores the operation data. The output is made to the upper autonomous monitoring device TM3 in the order of priority or the priority of the information. This makes it possible to reliably detect irregularities such as alteration of the ROM of the pachinko organic apparatus P1 even in a monitoring system with limited night power supply.

In addition, 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 43 inputs various data through the I / O port 52 by the device and writes it to the application buffer, the network CPU 42 reads these data by referring to this buffer. Can be written to a network buffer. The data recorded in the network buffer can be referred to from the MACCPU 41, and the MACCPU 41 can output these data to the outside via the communication port 50. In addition, by passing through the reverse path, data read and input from the network through the communication port 50 is transferred to the various electrical and electronic devices (for example, via the application CPU 43) of the Pachiko organic device P1. It is also possible to output to a mechanism launch device).

The processing executed in the organic point monitoring network system of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described next. FIG. 7 shows a program processed by the console PC when the console PC is operated to switch the operation mode of the abandoned shop monitoring network system to the operating mode or the non-business mode. Since this operation mode is allowed only to the supervisor of the organic point monitoring network system, it is performed after a predetermined password input or ID card inquiry to the console PC. When this program processing is started, the console PC determines which operation mode to switch to (step 10), and according to the determination result, the operating mode processing in operation (step 20) or the non-business operation mode processing (after step 30). Alternatively, select to exit the program.

Here, the determination of the operation mode in step 10 is determined by key input to the console PC, or automatically determined as the operating mode when the console PC is powered, and automatically when the power is interrupted. The operation mode may be determined as the non-business operation mode.

The operating mode processing in the step 20 is the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3, the mid-range autonomous monitoring device TPM, the low-level autonomous monitoring device TMX, and the router RA which are always turned on as described in FIG. Components of the organic point monitoring network system, i.e., the power supply of the Pachiko organic device (P1), the organic data auxiliary collection device (TM1), and the router (RB) are turned on, and the initialization of these devices and the timing of the internal clock are performed. The initial setting is to make the operation state. As a result, the organic point monitoring network system can intensively and real-time monitor the state of the pachinko organic apparatus P1 like a general network system. In addition, there may be a case where the power supply of the system may be lost due to a power failure, etc. during the operation mode during the operation. In this embodiment, since the median autonomous monitoring device (TPM) is backed up by the battery, most of the data in the operation is lost. It doesn't happen.

On the other hand, the non-business operation mode processing after step 30 is a mode specific to the organic point monitoring network system of the present embodiment, and the console PC is connected to the organic data auxiliary collection device TM1 and the lower autonomous level by the upper autonomous monitoring device TM3. It commands to poll and collect the operation performance data and the event performance data remaining in the monitoring device TMX through the median autonomous monitoring device TPM, and waits for a reply from the higher-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 (step 30). Then, when data collection by the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 is completed, the console PC turns off the power of the Pachko organic device P1, the organic data auxiliary collection device TM1, and the router RB (step 32). Command the high-level autonomous monitor (TM3), mid-range autonomous monitor (TPM) and low-level autonomous monitor (TMX) that are still in operation to switch to non-operational operation mode (step 34). Quit the program.

8 shows the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3, the mid-range autonomous monitoring device TPM, and the low-level autonomous monitoring device TMX (hereinafter referred to simply as the monitoring node TM) when the abandoned point monitoring network system transitions to the non-operational operation mode. Is a flowchart of a notification request program executed in step 6), and a communication program started upon receiving the notification request from the notification request program.

As described above, during the non-business hours at night, the monitoring node TM autonomously collects only security data of the pachinko organic apparatus P1 under its control and inputs information for managing this as a log (step 100). . If the security data entered here is determined according to a predetermined standard (step 110), and the data is determined to contain an abnormality that requires notification to a third party organization, the mediator autonomous monitoring device Through the TPM, the further contents and notification request are output to the high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 (step 120). Thereafter, the data input in step 100 is stored and managed as a log (step 130). Here, in the case where the notification to the third-party organization referred to in step 110 is necessary, the abnormal autonomous monitoring device TMX is the metal frame of the organic device P1 or the sub-autonomous monitoring device T1 during the night and holiday when the organic store is closed. When the opening of the machine frame is detected, timely communication from the lower autonomous monitoring system (TMX) or the intermediate autonomous monitoring system (TPM) is not possible or the identification code is not checked. In addition, when the abandoned store is in business, it is time to check the identification code of any monitoring node TM.

The high-level autonomous monitoring device TM3 which has received a request for notification from either monitoring node TM starts a communication program and inputs abnormal data transmitted from the monitoring node TM (step 200). Then, the user automatically logs on to a predetermined telephone number and executes a third party notification based on the abnormal data input in step 200 (step 210). In this embodiment, in this embodiment, two types of alarm messages are sent to a personal computer connected to a public line, or a voice notification by a telephone to a security company is prepared. Which notification is automatically selected according to the abnormality made.

As described above, the abandoned shop monitoring network system of the present embodiment operates the non-business monitoring node TM connected to the network by using a network that is installed in advance in order to monitor the sales data of the abandoned shop in real time. By simply preparing the operation mode to operate even in the mode, various irregularities (for example, ROM replacement, etc.) performed on the pachinko organic device P1 can be detected regardless of day or night. Since irregularities such as replacement of ROM are often performed during non-business hours such as at night, the usefulness of such a monitoring system is high.

In addition, the monitoring node TM is programmed to autonomously collect performance data and event data of the jurisdiction and to manage it as a log. Therefore, each node constituting the organic point monitoring network system can be distributed as an inexpensive system using a low cost microcomputer, each of which is in charge of the information processing load in a distributed manner. In addition, it is possible to construct an organic point monitoring network system suitable for an organic point which is smaller to very large and can be easily and inexpensively, regardless of the scale of the organic point of the embodiment.

In the monitoring node TM, the lower autonomous monitoring device TMX, in which compatibility with various organic devices is problematic, directly inputs only the security data from the pachinko organic device P1. (B) Organic data having a different data format for each organic rule is inputted through the organic data auxiliary collecting device TM1. Therefore, the monitoring network system of the present embodiment can easily be adapted to various kinds of pachinko organic apparatuses installed at the pachinko organic point, and can easily cope with changing the model of the pachinko organic apparatus P1. In addition, even in the case where not only the pachinko organic apparatus but also the throttle organic apparatus are installed in the pachinko organic store, it is possible to cope with only the modification of the organic data auxiliary collecting apparatus TM1 which is responsible for the interface part with the organic apparatus.

When an abnormality is detected by the monitoring node TM, depending on the abnormality, the communication program of the high-level autonomous monitoring apparatus TM3 operates to simply store the abnormality in an external computer or a security company. Is deciding whether to notify. Therefore, even at night or on a holiday when the abandoned store is closed, it is possible to appropriately deal with the abnormalities. As a result, in particular, there is no need to increase or deploy a watchman.

In addition, the monitoring node TM is hierarchically configured as a lower, middle, and upper autonomous monitoring device, and part of the monitoring node TM is divided into a built-in battery backup circuit for night monitoring and power failure. Therefore, the branch point monitoring network system of the embodiment not only makes wiring of the network connection simpler, but also significantly reduces the communication load between the devices, and reliably detects the irregularity even in the event of large-scale irregularity or a power failure that causes the commercial point of the branch point to drop. You can do it.

In addition, since an identification code is assigned to each device constituting a large number of abandonment point monitoring network systems, and the inspection of this identification code is an object of abnormal judgment, very malicious acts such as program malformation and CPU replacement are assured. Can be detected.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a configuration in which two types of networks, a business network BN and a monitoring network CN, are wired to each group has been described. This is an example in which communication devices are decentralized so that network communication can be performed smoothly. Therefore, the network wiring may be simplified within the range allowed by the communication speed of each device constituting the abandoned monitoring network system, the information transmission efficiency of the network, and the like. An embodiment with a simplified configuration is illustrated in FIG. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the router RB is omitted, and the monitoring network CN and the business network BN are directly connected to the router RA. Instead of connecting the intermediate autonomous monitoring device TPM to each monitoring network CN, the configuration is connected to the main network SN, and the necessary data includes the main network SN and the router RA. It was supposed to acquire through. The total number of terminals that a single router (RA) can support is the total number of terminals connected to this network, such as a lower autonomous monitoring device (TMX) and an organic data auxiliary collection device (TM1) connected to CN and BN. If sufficient, this structure can perform the process similar to 1st Example.

As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to this Example at all, Of course, it can be implemented in various states in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the control device PN1 for organic devices and the organic data auxiliary collection device TM1 attached to the back of the pachinko organic device P1 may be configured by the same microcomputer. In other words, a configuration in which both are integrated on the same board to share a power supply, a signal, or the like may be used, or a processor for processing may be integrated into a single chip. Alternatively, when the processing device PN1, which stores and executes an organic rule, has a margin for processing, the organic data that matches the information communication protocol with the lower autonomous monitoring device TMX by using the spare portion. It may be configured to function as the auxiliary collecting device TM1. With this arrangement, the organic point monitoring network system can be applied to all organic devices in a universal configuration. The present invention is also applicable to the false detection of other organic devices such as slot machines.
