Description

  The present invention relates to a sales collection management system for game machines arranged in a game center and a system management method using the same.

  The traditional sales collection management system for game consoles installed at game centers has been designed to centralize management of sales information and operation information for game consoles for each store on a computer, and to collect sales amounts and collect in manual collection operations. Proposals have been made for systems that increase efficiency and reduce labor costs, and also prevent unauthorized work by employees.

  However, since the proposal of the sales collection management system in these conventional game machines is limited to the system management related to sales and collection in the store, if an illegal operation is made to the system itself by the employees in the store, It could not be discovered early by a third party.

  The sales collection management system proposed in the past is, for example, mainly in game centers and the like, and it is possible to grasp at a glance the sales and operating rate of the devices and equipment provided, and the contents are accurate. As a result, a “tabulation device” (see Patent Document 1) that makes the management system easy and can be appropriately dealt with without mistakes has been proposed and has become a publicly known technique.

  However, the proposal of the “aggregation device” is that the data processing device is electrically connected to a plurality of data creation parts bidirectionally, and the data processing device is connected to a computer to aggregate the data described above, and the data processing The device is connected to a plurality of data creation parts in both directions, and the data processing device described above is connected to a computer so that the data is aggregated. However, since data is processed in one store, the data itself of the data processing device may be tampered with by a person in the store.

  In addition, in a game machine management system that performs information collection processing wirelessly at a game center or the like, the “game machine” that solves the problem of wasteful conventional collection work and improves the efficiency of the collection work with an inexpensive and simple configuration "Management system" (see Patent Document 2) has been proposed and is a publicly known technique.

  However, the proposal of the “game machine management system” includes a host computer having means for determining whether or not to collect money based on billing information, and means for wirelessly transmitting a money collection instruction display command signal to the slave station according to an instruction from the host computer. Although the game machine management system comprises a master station provided and a slave station provided with means for displaying a collection instruction by a signal received wirelessly from the master station, the proposal is that the deposit / withdrawal operation and input management are performed in the store. Since the data is processed by a single person, the host computer data itself could be tampered with.

  The present applicant pays attention to the problem that sales data is illegally falsified by one person in the store as described above, and whether or not these problems can be solved early and accurately via Internet communication. Based on the idea of the game machine sales collection management of game machines placed in the game center, and the game machine sales collection management system that separately manages the host server in the store and the main server outside the store via the Internet line and using it The system management method has been developed, leading to the proposal of the “game machine sales collection management system and system management method using the same” in the present invention.

The information 32 is centrally managed by the main server 21 outside the store 11, and the management collects the sales information 30, the operation information 31 and the collection collection information 32 of a plurality of stores 11 that are developed nationwide or in a chain. Can be confirmed in real time.

  The sales collection management system 10 of the game machine 12 according to the present embodiment configured as described above enables sales collection management of a large-scale and a plurality of game centers (stores 11).

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a system management method according to the present invention.
The system management method according to the present embodiment is a system management method using the sales collection management system 10 of the game machine 12, and includes a counting step (Step 1) for counting the amount of coins inserted and the operating status, and the counted sales. In-store transmission step (Step 2) for transmitting information 30, operation information 31, and collection collection information 32 to host server 20 in store 11, and the received sales information 30, operation information 31, and collection collection information 32 are transmitted to host server 20 An information storage step (Step 3) for temporary storage, an in-store information processing step (Step 4) for performing information processing based on the information 30, 31, 32 stored in the host server 20, and the host server 20 Each information 30, 31, 32 stored in the store is regularly transferred to the main server 21 outside the store. An out-of-store transmission step (Step 5) for transmitting using the network 22; an information management step (Step 6) for managing the transmitted sales information 30, operation information 31 and collected collection information 32 in the main server 21; Management decision statistical table for transmitting the sales information 30, the operation information 31, and the collection collection information 32 recorded by the host server 20 in the store 11 to the main server 21 outside the store 11. It is intended to provide a method of outputting to 33 and managing.

In the system management method according to the above embodiment, the information output step (Step 7) for outputting the sales information 30, the operation information 31, and the collection collection information 32 stored in the host server 20 by the output device 25 in the store 11. It is possible to employ | adopt the aspect provided with.
Furthermore, in the system management method according to the above embodiment, a mobile transmission step (Step 8) of transmitting the sales information 30, the operation information 31, and the collection collection information 32 transmitted to the main server 21 to the mobile communication terminal 24 outside the store 11 is performed. It is also possible to employ a mode provided.

  In the system management method according to the present invention, there are some steps accompanying the above steps (Steps 1 to 8). For example, the information is output by the information processing step (Step 9) or the information output step (Step 7) that performs information processing to be output as the management judgment statistics table 33 in the main server 21 based on the information managed by the information management step (Step 6). A collation step (Step 10) for collating mechanically or manually with the data such as the sales information 30 and the collected amount for each game machine 12 or each store 11 is performed.

  Although derived from the system management method according to the present invention, as shown in the drawing, in order to ensure the consistency between the sales amount collected at the store 11 and the sales information 30, When depositing, it is possible to have the bank check the bank based on the sales information 30 and other information 31 and 32.

  By the way, in the system management method according to the present invention, the sales information 30, the operation information 31, and the collection collection information 32 transmitted from the host servers 20 of the plurality of stores 11 are centrally managed by the main server 21 outside the stores 11.
