Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides a system for automatically purchasing prizes exchanged for pachinko balls at a pachinko or other game parlor. Regarding how this information is processed.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when purchasing prizes, the employee in charge looks at the prize brought in by the customer, appraises it, determines the purchase price, and exchanges it for cash.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] According to this conventional method, it is difficult to expect accuracy because humans make judgments visually, and it is not only difficult to deal with fraud, but also requires labor costs and time. Met.

[Means for solving the problem] Therefore, in the present invention, the prize has another aspect such as an IC card, information is stored in the prize, and the information is collected by a processing device at the time of purchasing the prize. The aim is to automate the prize purchasing process.

A magnetic recording medium, that is, a magnetic stripe used in cash cards and credit cards, or an IC card is applied to prizes at a game parlor in advance to record information required when purchasing the prize. . When purchasing a prize, the prize information processing device reads the information in the memory function section of the prize, compares it with pre-stored information on the same prize, determines whether it is a valid prize without any fraud, and redeems the prize. do. After that, I decided to update this prize information further.

In this way, the prize purchasing process at the game parlor is automated.

[Example] Next, the system for purchasing prizes will be explained according to the diagram.

To hand out prizes at a game parlor in a case. At this time, this prize case 1 is equipped with magnetic strips 1 to 2 (Fig. 1 A) or an IC card 3 (Fig. , product value classification, serial number, etc. When purchasing this prize, the prize information processing device 4 shown in FIG.
Insert the actual item in its case into mouth 5. Next, the information recorded in advance on this case is read into a central processing unit (CPU) 7 by a reading section (reader) 6. Here, the information held by the purchased prize is compared with the information in memory 8, which has previously stored the standard information of the same gift, and this information matches the information that was written into the purchased prize that was inserted. If it is, the validity is displayed on the validity/invalidity display window 9, a command is issued to the dispenser 10, and the payment port 11 is issued.
Release the exchanged amount. Finally, CPL17 is a writing device @
The prize information to be updated is sent to No. 12, and the information is updated again for the prize that has been read. At the same time, memory 8
The same information is also stored in By doing this, even if a prize with outdated update information is inserted again, it will be handled and processed as a valid prize in the same process.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the device of the present invention, the prize purchasing work at the game parlor can be automated, and can be processed quickly and accurately, preventing fraud and saving human costs.

The information is written on the magnetic stripe or IC card, and since the book binding updates the information on the prize, it cannot be copied like the barcodes that are used on products in recent years, so it is often used to prevent fraud. Helpful. And I
Using a C card allows for more information because it has additional memory, and it is also more secure because this information is stored in the memory and managed by a computer.
