This invention relates to a card-type lighting control device that is controlled by the user.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, for example, in a card-type lighting control device, a card used in the device has a certain number of degrees (for example, an amount of money) written in advance, and is lent or sold to a user of the lighting lamp. The user inserts this card into the card type lighting control device to use the lighting. In this case, the power of the card will be subtracted according to the time the lamp was used, and the user will be able to confirm that the power of the card is "
One illumination lamp can be used until it reaches "0". Then, when the card's power reaches "0", the card is taken into the card-type lighting control device.

In addition, normally, in a card-type lighting control device, as mentioned above,
The power is gradually reduced in accordance with the usage time of the illumination light, and when the use of the illumination light is finished, the card on which the remaining power is written is returned to the user. Therefore, the user uses the returned card until the card's frequency becomes "0".
You can use the light as many times as you like.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, once the high-pressure discharge lamps used for lighting in stadiums, gymnasiums, etc. are turned off, it takes time to turn them on again, so the lights often turn off during games, sports, etc. I don't like it.

However, in conventional card-type lighting control devices, when the maturity number of the card being used decreases, the card in use is So, even if I try to switch to a new card, when I replace the card, the lighting power becomes 9 lights. 1: Therefore, the conventional card-type lighting control device has the disadvantage that games, sports, etc. must be interrupted when switching cards.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and the present invention adds up the death times of multiple cards without turning off the illumination lights even when the illumination lights are in use, and lights the lights based on the added frequency. A card-type lighting system that can turn on lights? The purpose is to provide an ID device.

[Means for solving problems]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a card reading/writing means for reading the power stored in the card or writing the power on the card, and a card reading/writing means for reading the power stored in the card or writing the power on the card. a storage means for storing the power; and a subtraction means for correlating the power of the card stored in the nuclear storage means according to the use of the illumination lamp; In a card-type lighting control device that turns on a lighting lamp and writes the remaining power on the card using the card writing/reading means and returns the card when the use of the lighting lamp is finished, an addition instruction means that issues an instruction signal to add the power of the card; , upon receiving the signal from the addition instruction means? and an addition means for adding the frequencies of y number of cards.

[Effect]

The present invention uses the above-mentioned means to read and add the powers of a plurality of cards inserted by the user when receiving an instruction signal to add the powers of the cards, and to control the lighting of the illumination lamp based on the addition result.

〔Example〕

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram of a card-type lighting control device that is an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a microcomputer unit that controls the operation of the entire card-type lighting control device, 2 indicates a program setting unit that sets the facility opening start time, facility opening end time, facility usage fee, etc. An operation section (not shown) having a card insertion slot, various switches, etc., 4 a card reading/writing section for reading the power of the card and writing the power on the card, 5 a display section for displaying the remaining power of the card, etc.; 6 is an output control section that controls lighting of the illumination lamp.

Next, the operation of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained. When a card is inserted into the card-type lighting control device of this embodiment, the microcomputer section 1 operates the card reading/writing section 4. The number of degrees written on the card read by
It receives information, etc. from the operating section 3 and processes this information according to a program set in advance in the ROM in the microcomputer section 1. In other words, the microcontroller and Buke section 1 sends a signal to the output control section 6 in accordance with the information read from the card, etc., and turns on the illumination lamp.

Also, if the power on the card reaches "0" while the light is on, the light will be turned off, but if the power on the card becomes rOJ
If a new card is inserted before the card is used, the remaining power of the previously used card is added to the power of the newly inserted card, and lighting of the illumination lamp is controlled based on the result.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the device of the first embodiment. Components in FIG. 2 that have the same functions as those in FIG.
In the mouth, 11 is a storage section, 12 is a subtraction section, 13 is an illumination lamp, 14 is a card insertion detection section, 15 is a judgment section, 16 is an addition section, 17 is an addition instruction switch, 18 is an addition control section, 1
9 is a card transport section, and 5c is an insertion indicator lamp.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the addition operation of the microcomputer section in the apparatus of this embodiment, and the operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. 3 as well. When a card is inserted into the device of this embodiment, the CPU in the microcomputer section clears the register area, and then stores the card power read by the card reading section 4a in the storage section 11.
to be memorized. The output control unit 6 turns on the illumination lamp based on the card's frequency. When the illumination lamp is turned on, the subtraction unit 12 sequentially subtracts from the storage unit 11 a frequency commensurate with the power consumption of the illumination lamp. The user can use the illumination light until the card's power reaches "0".

By the way, when the remaining power of the card becomes low while using the lighting lamp, the user presses the addition instruction switch 17 to change the power of the card and the power of the newly inserted card. It is possible to add the power and use the illumination light based on the added power. The addition operation when the illumination lamp is on will be explained below with reference to FIG. 3 as well.

As described above, when the user presses the addition instruction switch 17, the main program (not shown) shifts to the addition operation program shown in FIG. 3, which is an interrupt program. First, when the addition instruction switch 17 is pressed, a signal is sent to the addition control section 18, and when the addition control section 18 receives the signal, it sends a signal to the card writing section 4b to write the current card. After writing the degree "0" in the card and ejecting the card to the outside by the card transport unit 19 (step, b), the step lights up the insertion indicator lamp 5c, which instructs the user of the illumination light to insert a new card. Step ■), which sends a signal to the determining unit 15. When the determining unit 15 receives this signal, it determines whether or not a new card has been inserted into the insertion slot.
, if the card has been inserted, that is, if the card insertion detection section 14 detects the insertion of the card and sends a signal, the card reading section 4a receives the information about the newly inserted card (step ■); It is determined whether the card is appropriate (step ■). If the card is appropriate, a signal is sent to the adding section 16. When the adding unit 16 receives this signal, it adds the power of the card that has been used until now, which is stored in the storage unit 11, and the power of the new card that has been read by the card reading unit 4a, and adds the result to the power of the new card that has been read by the card reading unit 4a. The card is replaced with the stored value and stored in the storage unit 11 (step ■), and the normal card operation is resumed thereafter (step ■).
Although not shown, when the use of the illumination lamp is finished, the power stored in the storage unit 11 is written on a card and returned to the user. Therefore, when the use of the lighting lamp is discontinued after adding up the power on the card, the added power is written on the card and returned to the user.

In addition, if the user does not insert a new card after pressing the addition instruction switch 17, the signal from the card insertion detection section 14 is not sent to the judgment section 15, so the judgment section 15 Determine the state and move to step 0. On the step and pu [phase], the subtraction unit 12 deducts the degree stored in the storage unit 11 according to the power consumption of the lighting lamp, and calculates the output side? 111 unit 6 determines whether the subtracted frequency has become "0" (step 0). Then, as a result of il'JE, when the degree becomes OJ, the output control unit 6 enters a termination operation to terminate lighting of the illumination lamp 13 (step @
), if the calculated frequency is not "0", the process returns to step (2) and the operations after step (2) are performed as described above, that is, when the card addition operation is being performed, it is stored in the storage unit 11. Since the illumination light is turned on based on the current power, the addition operation can be performed without turning off the illumination light unless the power of the card that has been inserted reaches 0.

Furthermore, after pressing the addition instruction switch 17, the user inserts a new card, but if the inserted card is not the correct one, the determination unit 15 determines this in step (2) and moves to step (3). Then, the error display lamp 5b is turned on. Then, the unsuitable card is transferred to the card transport section 1.
9 to discharge the liquid to the outside (step (2)), return to step (2), and repeat the operations after step (2) as described above.

According to the above-mentioned embodiment, when the power of the card becomes low while the lamp is in use, by inserting a new card, the remaining power of the previous card can be updated without turning off the lamp. It is possible to add the frequency of the inserted card to the card and use the lighting based on the addition result, so by replacing the card, the lighting power will turn off in the middle of the game, etc., and the game will be interrupted. Never.

In the above embodiment, the case where the frequencies of two cards are added is explained, but according to this embodiment, it is also possible to add the frequencies of three or more cards.

Further, in the above embodiment, no limit was placed on the value of the addition result of the card, but an upper limit may be set on the value of the addition result in order to prevent unlimited number of additions.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference also to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a storage section in the micro combinator section, such as a rewritable memory (RAM). The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that
In the first embodiment, when the user presses the addition instruction switch 17, the addition operation is started, but in the second embodiment, when the frequency stored in the storage unit 11 becomes less than a certain value, the addition operation is automatically started. This is the point at which the process shifts to an addition operation. Other points are similar to the first embodiment, so detailed explanation thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 4, A indicates a specific address, and X is one bit at address A set as a status flag. The frequency stored in the RAM now is the subtractor 12
As a result, when the frequency of the card becomes less than a predetermined constant value, the status flag X is decremented. The main program checks this status flag to determine whether to proceed to addition operation. That is, when the status flag is down, normal card operation is performed, but when the status flag is raised, the operation shifts to addition operation, writes the rOJ frequency to the card that was being used, and then transfers the card to the outside. Step ■) to eject the card, emit an alarm to notify the user that the number of points on the card has decreased, and then turn on the insertion indicator lamp (Step ■)
, the device enters a state of waiting for card insertion (step ■). below,
The operations after step ① are performed in the same manner as described above.

According to the second embodiment described above, even when the illumination light is used with a card with a small remaining power, the card is used before the power of the card reaches "0", that is, before the illumination light goes out. Since the user can be informed that the remaining power of the lamp has decreased, the user can use the lighting with peace of mind.

Other functions and effects are similar to those of the first embodiment.

In the above two embodiments, the addition instruction means is explained separately using an addition instruction switch and using a status flag, but the present invention is not limited to these. It may be provided in one place.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, even when the illumination light is in use, the frequencies of a plurality of cards are added up without turning off the illumination light, and the lighting of the illumination light is controlled based on the added frequency. It is possible to provide a card 2 lighting control device that can prevent games, sports, etc. from being interrupted due to turning off the lighting when a card is replaced.
