[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an image display system provided on a pachinko island according to this embodiment. The central control unit 1 provided in the control room of the pachinko parlors has a communication line 10 from each pachinko machine 2.
The platform information is obtained through the system, and management information of each pachinko machine is generated based on the platform information. Further, the management information and the emergency information for each pachinko machine are transmitted to each pachinko machine 2 through the communication line 10. At an upper position of the pachinko machine 2, an image display device 3 including a liquid crystal panel or a cathode ray tube is incorporated.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a circuit configuration of the image display system. The table information generating unit 2a, the information output unit 2b, and the information input unit 2c are existing functional units provided in each pachinko machine 2. The display information generating means 4, the storage unit 5, and the image display device 3 are provided corresponding to each of the pachinko machines 2, and are provided on each of the pachinko machines 2 so as to be arranged on the pachinko island. Alternatively, the pachinko machine 2 may be arranged on the pachinko island corresponding to each of the pachinko machines 2, which is different from each pachinko machine 2.

The above-mentioned table information generating section 2a generates table information such as jackpot information and supplies it to the information output section 2b. The information output unit 2b sends the platform information to the central control unit 1. The information input unit 2c includes the central control unit 1
The above-mentioned various information sent from is input.

The display information generating means 4 obtains information transmitted from the pachinko machine 2 to the central controller 1 from the pachinko machine 2 and performs information processing to generate display image information. For example, the jackpot information is obtained from the pachinko machine 2 and the total number of jackpots is calculated based on this information, or the jackpot count histogram information for each hour is generated based on the jackpot start time information. Display image information is generated. Furthermore, display image information can be generated based on information from the central control unit 1 obtained via the information input unit 2c.

The information selection unit 4a is a unit for generating display image information based on the information from the central control unit 1 obtained through the information input unit 2c, and the display information generation unit 4 independently generating the information from the pachinko machine information. One of the selected display image information is selected, and the selected display image information is provided to the image display device 3. The selection operation by the information selection unit 4a is performed when a player performs a switch operation, or when emergency display information, priority display information, or the like is sent from the central control unit 1.

The storage unit 5 stores the information generated by the display information generating unit 4 and provides the stored information to the display information generating unit 4 by the read / write control of the display information generating unit 4. A read operation is performed. The information to be stored includes the total number of jackpots of the current day, the total number of jackpots of the previous day, the day before the previous day, the jackpot start time information, the histogram of the number of jackpots, or the start information (the number of times the pachinko ball passed the chucker rotating the slot). ). The storage unit 5 also stores image information forming the background of the display screen, character image information for displaying numerical values in characters, and the like.

The image display device 3 inputs display image information and performs image display based on the display image information. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example by the image display device 3. In this display example, the total number of jackpots information of the current day, the total number of jackpots of the previous day and the day before two days, and start information are displayed.

According to the above configuration, display image information is generated by the display information generating means 4 corresponding to each pachinko machine 2 without passing through the central control unit 1, so that troubles and information on the communication line can be obtained. Even if the processing is delayed, correct information can be displayed on the screen of the image display device 3.

The image display system may be configured so that the image display device 3 displays a video image. In this system configuration,
For example, an NTSC video signal as a composite video signal is supplied from the central control unit 1 of the control room to a distributor provided on each pachinko island via an optical fiber. The pachinko island distributor is configured to supply an NTSC video signal to each image display device 3 via a coaxial cable. In this case, on each image display device 3 side, NTSC
A circuit for inputting a video signal and performing Y / C separation, a circuit for generating an RGB signal from the Y signal and the C signal, and a circuit for separating a vertical synchronization signal (V signal) and a horizontal synchronization signal (H signal) from the video signal Should be provided.

Further, in the distributor provided on the pachinko island, RGB signals may be generated from the NTSC video signal and supplied to each pachinko machine using five signal lines. In this case, it is not necessary to provide a circuit for generating the RGB signals on each image display device 3 side, and the configuration shown in FIG. 2 can be easily adapted.

The image display system for a game console according to the present invention can also be used for image display by an image display device provided in a game machine other than a pachinko machine.

[0021]

As described above, according to the game console image display system of the present invention, the display image information is generated without the intervention of the central control unit. There is an effect that correct information can be displayed on the screen of the image display device of each game console even if the information processing is delayed.
