As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the gaming machine security device according to the first aspect of the present invention is a gaming machine security device that operates by being supplied with power. A time-varying means having a state in which the electrical characteristics do not change with the passage of time, and a time-dependent change progression in which the time-varying means changes to a state in which the electrical characteristics change over time when the gaming machine is in an operating state. And a notification signal output means for outputting a notification signal when the electrical characteristics of the time-varying means are in a predetermined state.
[0006]
As a result, while the gaming machine is not in the operating state, the time-varying means is in a state where the electrical characteristics do not change over time. On the other hand, when power is supplied to the gaming machine and the operation state is established, the temporal change progressing means changes the electrical characteristics to change with time.
[0007]
When the gaming machine is used in this state, the electrical characteristics of the time-varying means become a predetermined state, and the notification signal output means outputs a notification signal.
Therefore, the electrical characteristics of the time-varying means change only while the gaming machine is operating.
For this reason, when the electrical characteristics of the time-varying means have changed to the state when the period corresponding to the maintenance inspection time and life of the gaming machine has elapsed, this can be notified.

[0030]
The signal delay path 5 has a delay time that increases with time. For example, a circuit in which the circuit delay of a passing signal is changed with time by a MOS transistor circuit disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-125129. , Gate chains and critical paths are used.

The connection connector 85 is connected to the relay connector 26.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 4, the security device 3 connected to the signal delay path 5 via the security connector 23 includes a microcomputer chip 51 having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, etc., a flash memory 53 for nonvolatile storage, Input interface 55, output interfaces 57 and 59, input / output interface 61, five sensor interfaces 63, exchange switch 21, red indicator lamp 15, green indicator lamp 17, speaker 19, and external output terminal 20 and a power supply terminal 22. The power terminal 22 is connected to the power connector 25.
[0034]
The flash memory 53, the input interface 55, the output interfaces 57 and 59, and the input / output interface 61 are connected to the microcomputer chip 51. The exchange switch 21 is connected to the microcomputer chip 51 via the input interface 55.

[0035]
The red indicator lamp 15, the green indicator lamp 17, and the external output terminal 20 are connected to the output interface 57, and the red indicator lamp 15 and the green indicator lamp 17 are turned on based on a command from the microcomputer chip 51.

As shown in FIG. 7, the security device 3 described above supplies a common clock signal CLK to the five signal delay paths 5 and inputs five output signals DS1 to DS5. The clock signal CLK is always supplied while power is supplied to the power terminal 27.
[0037]
The output signals DS1 to DS5 have delay times DR1 to DR5 due to circuit delay with respect to the clock signal CLK, respectively. Here, an example is shown in which a difference occurs in the delay times DR1 to DR5 due to differences in the specifications of the five signal delay paths 5, the replacement time, and the operation time. In addition, regarding the specifications, all of the five may be the same, or may be set individually according to the lifetime of the security target. For example, the signal delay path 5 attached to the security target having a short life may be one having a large change with time. In addition, when it is attached to a product with a long life, it may be used with a property that changes very little over time. By matching the specifications to the lifetime in this way, the detection accuracy of all five is balanced.
[0038]
Alternatively, different clock signals CLK may be supplied to the five signal delay paths 5. In this case, the frequencies of the clock signals CLK are made different and the peak values are made different. For example, in the signal delay path 5 attached to an object having a short maintenance period or a short life, a high-frequency clock signal CLK (a signal whose delay time increases according to the number of inputs of the clock signal CLK) that causes an increase in delay time quickly. (In the case of the delay path 5) and a clock signal CLK having a high peak value (in the case of the signal delay path 5 in which the delay time increases according to the integrated value of the input energy and the input voltage) are supplied, and the delay time of the signal increases quickly. Thus, the detection accuracy may be improved.
[0039]
The flowchart of the security device in FIG. 8 shows processing executed by the security device 3 every 10 minutes.
First, the delay times DR1 to DR5 are read (S100, S110, S120, S130, S140). Next, the average value of each of the five delay times DR1 to 5 calculated when this routine is activated last time is compared (S150). The average value of the delay times DR1 to 5 is obtained in advance by the calculated average value calculation process shown in FIG. The calculated average value calculation process is started after the previous execution of the process of the security device shown in FIG. First, the average value of the past 10 delay times DR1 is calculated (S300). The average is calculated by an arithmetic average. While the number is less than 10, the average value for the number of readings is calculated. This process is repeated for the delay times DR2 to 5 (S310, S320, S330, S340).
[0040]
As a result of comparison with the average value, it is determined whether or not the deviation is 10% or more (S160). If the deviation is 10% or more, it does not occur in the normal use state. Output processing (sound, red indicator lamp, abnormal signal) is performed (S170). As a case where it does not occur in the normal use state here, abnormality, failure, disconnection, replacement, etc. of the signal delay path 5 can be considered.
[0041]
In the abnormality output process, first, as shown in FIG. 10, the abnormality target is specified (S400). What is identified as an abnormal target is the delay times DR1 to 5 in which the deviation is determined to be 10% or more. Next, an audio output process is performed (S410). In the audio output process, in the case of the delay times DR1 to DR3, “abnormal computer occurrence” is announced according to the abnormality target. In the case of the delay times DR4 and DR5, the “abnormality in the sensor” is announced.
[0042]
Next, the abnormal output contact “ON” is performed (S420). As a result, an abnormal signal is output from the external output terminal 20. The external output terminal 20 is connected to a game hall management computer (not shown), and the occurrence of an abnormality is notified to the game hall staff.
Next, the red indicator lamp 15 is identified and lit (S430). The identification lighting is lighting the red indicator lamp 15 with a code corresponding to the delay times DR1 to DR5. For example, it lights with a Morse code of 1-5. Thereby, the location where the abnormality has occurred can be determined simply by looking at the lighting state of the red indicator lamp 15.
[0043]
If the deviation is not 10% or more, then it is compared with the life value (preliminarily determined by the test) (S180). The lifetime value is an experimental value that is estimated to be reached when the delay times DR1 to DR5 have reached the lifetime or inspection time. Therefore, when the lifetime value matches the delay times DR1 to DR5, it can be estimated that the lifetime has been reached or the inspection time has been reached.
[0044]
As a result of the comparison, if there has not been reached (S190), this routine is once terminated as it is. If there is a product that has reached the end of its life, the life output process shown in FIG. 11A is performed (S200).
In the life output process, the life target is specified (S500), and the green indicator lamp 17 is identified and lit (S510). In the life target specification, the delay times DR1 to 5 determined as the life are specified. In the identification lighting, the green indicator lamp 17 is lit with a code corresponding to the delay times DR1 to DR5. As a result, it is possible to notify a part that has reached the end of its life and has reached the inspection time or replacement time.
[0045]
When the exchange switch 21 is operated, the exchange (voice erasure) process in FIG. 11B is activated. First, an audio output stop process is performed (S600). In the audio output stop process, signal output to the speaker 19 is stopped.
Next, it is determined whether or not to cancel (S610). The case where it is determined to be released is the case where it is determined in step S190 that no element has reached the end of its life. This routine is temporarily terminated until it is determined that the release is made. If it is determined that the release is made, an audio output stop release process is performed (S620). In this process, the audio output stop process in S600 is canceled to enable a signal output to the speaker 19.
[0046]
When an abnormality occurs due to the above-described exchange (voice erasure) process, and voice output is performed in S410, and this is confirmed by the staff of the game hall, the announcement can be manually stopped by the staff of the game hall. I can do it. In addition, even when parts are replaced during maintenance, the announcement can be manually stopped. Although the announcement is stopped, the announcement may be stopped illegally, so that the red indicator lamp 15 is continuously lit in order to ensure discovery of an abnormality. Also, the announcement stop is automatically canceled in S620 when it is determined in S160 that the deviation is less than 10% by repeatedly executing the process of FIG. That is, it has an automatic return action.
