Amusement machinery control system and method of control
[21] The present invention relates to a game machine control system and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to solve the state of the game machine, income obtained through the game machine, complaints originating from the client and to use the game machine regardless of the place. It relates to an amusement machine control system and a control method thereof.
[22] The present invention also relates to an amusement machine control system and a method of controlling the same so that a new type of amusement machine can be provided by upgrading an amusement machine used without replacing an existing game machine in the same case of an amusement room.
[23] In general, the game machine is divided into home use and commercial use, and in the case of the home use game pack or CD title, the commercially produced product is produced in a professionally produced place such as an electronic shopping mall and is currently supplied to the game room. We use and are used.
[24] It is very difficult to use commercially available game consoles for home use because the user has to pay for a certain amount of money and use the game machine because it is not equipped with a device for cracking down time and putting coins. There is a problem that the unit cost of the product for the user to use by using the secondary parts rises.
[25] In the case of the commercial use, it is very expensive to use at home, a place of a certain size is required, and there is a problem that the weight is very high and the price is expensive.
[26] In the case of the commercial, there is a problem that the user quickly feels proof because only one game is loaded in software, rather than a plurality of game programs mounted in one pack or CD as used in home.
[27] In order to solve the problems described above, look at the configuration of the present patent application No. 1991-0006377 (formerly designed below the commercialization control device of a home entertainment machine), as shown in Figure 1 A program reader for reading a program, and inputting the signal read by the reader to generate a video signal to a monitor through a video processor, and to cause the speaker to generate an audio signal through an audio processor. And a central processing unit for controlling the audio processor, a memory capable of reading and writing data by a predetermined control signal, and a plurality of lever switches for moving image signals displayed on the monitor. An apparatus, comprising: detecting a signal from said lever switch and Lever signal generator for providing a data signal in a memory; A controller configured to receive a signal output from the lever signal generator and an entertainment start signal to generate a predetermined control signal; A central processing unit for receiving the control signal and the coin input signal and generating a signal for operating the game machine for a predetermined time; And a controller for controlling the audio signal under the control of the central processing unit when the entertainment program is executed.
[28] The conventional design configured as described above is to install a device that can put a coin in the home game machine to enjoy the game for a predetermined time set by the number of coins applied through the device, and also to reset the reset without inserting the coin The game machine can be used arbitrarily.
[29] The conventional design has a problem that can not solve the user's dissatisfaction because it is set unconditionally so that it can be used only for a predetermined time by the input of coins using a game machine.
[30] Looking at the problems of the conventional design, first, when not aware of the input coins, second, if the number of coins put in the wrong process, third, if the count of coins due to power outage, fourth, the current game machine 5th, how much income has been made through the current game console, sixth, whether the power can be controlled when an error occurs in the game console, and seventh, even when there is no administrator at the remote site. As described above, the conventional design cannot solve the problems listed above.
[31] To explain why the above problems can not be solved,
[32] In the first case, the number of coins is not properly understood due to the failure of the coin injector, which is not mentioned in the announcement of the conventional design. Also, if the manager is notified of the problem, the manager puts new coins accordingly. There is a problem that needs to be put, and if the user cheated it and informed of the problem, there is a problem that a coin must be put in order to solve the problem.
[33] Secondly, if the number of coins is incorrectly processed, the user's problem should be solved as in the first.
[34] Third, if the time is cleared by the power failure during use during the time paid according to the number of coins put in by the power failure, the user inputs the same number as the number of coins put in the first place to solve the user's problem. There is a problem that must be added more than the number of coins put into.
[35] Fourthly, the administrator can see and judge the situation judgment about whether the game machine currently used by the user is operating normally, or the user can tell the administrator that the game machine is not working properly. There is a problem that cannot be managed.
[36] Fifth, it is impossible to know how many coins are being used in the game machine currently used by the user, so it is difficult to know whether to add a new game machine or change to another game program. There is a problem, and there is a problem that it is very difficult to manage the game machine efficiently.
[37] Sixth, an error occurred in a state in which the game machine is powered on and booted up, and the administrator cannot reset the game machine in a state where a certain distance is separated. There is a problem in that the power is turned on and the booting state is confirmed without booting an error.
[38] Seventh, it is very difficult for an administrator to leave the game room where the game machine is installed and to find out the state of the game machine currently used in another place (where the PC is located). There is also a problem that the administrator can not remotely check the state of the game machine because there is no function that can diagnose the state of the game machine by itself.
[39] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention allows the administrator to grasp the state of the game machine by continuously applying the data on the current state of the game machine in real time or at any time by the setting of the administrator, the game machine itself It is possible to reboot after grasping whether an error has occurred by the diagnosis function, and the administrator can check the income of each game machine, and the game machine control system and control that can be managed remotely even if the administrator is not located in the field.

In step (T160) to supply to the power supply, and if the time is '0' or not time '0' is continuously supplying power to the joystick, if the time is '0' 1 person or 2 people In step (T170) to go to the step of determining whether the user in the game is determined to be 1 or 2, the power is supplied to the joystick in the case of one person and time is '0'. Blocking the game so that no more games can be played, and if the time is 2, if the time is '0', if the time is '0', when the time is '0', the joystick power is cut off and the process returns to the initial state. (T180).
[62] When explaining the operation of the game machine control system and the control room according to the present invention configured as described above in more detail, the operation described below will be described inclusive of other embodiments.
[63] First, when a coin is put into a coin input machine to play a user game, the coin inputted through the coin input machine is sensed and applied to the CPU 210 of the control means 200 to determine how many coins are currently input through the coin input machine. The user is given a predetermined time in accordance with the time set in advance according to the number of the coins put in the memory unit 230. In this case, the time is displayed through the LED display 240 so that the user can know. Is displayed.
[64] When a predetermined time is given by the coin, when the coin is input, the game is started immediately or it is determined whether the user is ready. That is, when the user is ready to play the game and presses the start button 310, The signal is sent to the CPU 210 to start the game.
[65] When the signal is applied by the start button 310, the CPU 210 recognizes that the user is ready to start the game, and displays the game contained in the rompack, CD, etc. through the monitor, and displays the game At the same time, the joystick is used to power the joystick so that the user can play the game.
[66] When power is applied to the joystick, a signal operated by the joystick is transmitted to the CPU 210, and the transmitted signal is played back while operating the joystick through a program by the game machine 100 through the joystick controller 220. You can do it.
[67] However, if one of the hardware errors and the software errors occurs during the game as described above, the user cannot continue to play the game continuously. At this time, the control means indicates that this error has occurred. 1 Admin data is applied to the PC (400) to inform that the current error has occurred so that the administrator can respond to the error immediately.
[68] When the error occurs during the game, the time stored in the memory unit 230 is stored in the memory unit 230 to prevent the time displayed on the LED display 240 from disappearing by the coin input by the user. When the operation is performed, the remaining time is displayed on the LED display 240 to be used again.
[69] Then, about 15 seconds before the user runs out of the time allotted by the coin input, the user sends out a sound through the speaker or the headset so that the user can continue the game.
[70] In this case, when the user wants to continue the game, when a coin is input through a coin input device, the coin is detected and the LED display 240 is added by adding the time allocated per coin (based on 100 won) and the existing time. If the user can see through, the user can know that the time is added by the coin that he puts in, and knows that he can play the game for some time, so he can continue to play the game comfortably.
[71] Then, when the user has no intention to proceed with the game any more, the game is played only for the remaining time and the user does not input any more coins so that the time is '0' so that the CPU 210 of the control means The power that was applied through the joystick controller 220 is cut off, and the counter counts in reverse from 15 seconds so that the user can continue the game even after the time expires.
[72] At this time, if the user is 2 instead of 1, the counter counting time is prevented from interfering with other users. It is displayed on the screen, and the power applied to the joystick of the user whose time is '0' is cut off so that other users can continue to play the game.
[73] When the counting time is reversed to 0, the process returns to the initial state. However, when the user counts as 1, the user counts as 1, and when the user counts as 2, both users have time ' Only when 0 ', it returns to initial state.
[74] As described above, both the game machine that is playing the game and the game machine 100 that does not play the game apply data to the first manager PC 400, wherein the current state of the game machine, that is, whether or not an error has occurred or is normally in progress, is applied. If the data is applied to the first manager PC 400, and only the situation of the game machine 100 is not applied to the first manager PC 400, other data besides the data, that is, the import situation, of the currently used game machine Including the remaining time and the like to the first manager PC 400 to store in the data of the first manager PC (400).

[76] In other words, when a coin is input, it functions as a game machine 100, but when there is no coin input, there is an advantage of earning income through advertising.
[77] In addition, the above-mentioned entertainment machine and the first manager PC 400 may be connected to each other and used in addition to the second manager PC 600 installed in the home or another place by the administrator through the Internet network. You can check the income, errors, etc. of the game.
[78] In the case of managing through the second manager PC 400, if the data stored in the first manager PC 400 is applied to the server through the Internet network, the server 500 based on the data The second manager PC 600 calculates the data so that the data can be easily checked.
[79] The operation may be executed in the first manager PC 400, and the operation may be executed in the first manager PC 400 to apply data to the server 500 so that only the data processed by the server 500 may be processed. It is highly desirable to store it in the base to reduce the load on the server.
[80] The calculation is to calculate how much income has been generated in which game, so that the income can check the income status by year, month, day, and time.
[81] On the basis of the calculated data, the server recalculates by region, group or agency so that the administrator can check the data by using a predetermined program installed in the second manager's PC. Or make it easy to see the graphics.
[82] As described above, the second manager PC 600 shows the current import status, the error status, and the use of the entertainment apparatus 100 in the manager window 620 displayed through the monitor 610 as illustrated in FIGS. 7, 8, and 9. It can be seen through the manager window (420, 610) as described above, and also change the setting of time by applying data to the control means 200, on / off of the game machine 100 and the control means 200 (when an error occurs) , The addition of time, the deletion of time, and so on through the second administrator PC 600 will be able to manage the amusement machine 100 from a remote location.
