Abstract

La présente invention permet de détecter, avec une précision élevée, des informations d'identification et le nombre de jetons empilés sur une table de jeu. Une unité de traitement 105 dans un jeton T émet, vers l'extérieur, des informations de jeton comprenant l'ID de l'utilisateur et l'ID de jeton du jeton T lui-même en utilisant la lumière infrarouge émise par une unité d'émission de lumière 103. Lors de la réception de la lumière infrarouge provenant d'un autre jeton T empilé verticalement par une unité de réception de lumière 104, l'unité de traitement 105 acquiert des informations de jeton de l'autre jeton T à partir de la lumière infrarouge reçue. Lorsque des informations de jeton de l'autre jeton T sont acquises, l'unité de traitement 105 délivre lesdites informations de jeton avec ses propres informations de jeton vers l'extérieur en utilisant la lumière infrarouge émise par l'unité d'émission de lumière 103.
