<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately manage the operation states of game machines. <P>SOLUTION: An out ball counter 32 counts the number of game balls dispensed from a game machine, corresponding to a time. A game machine management unit 151 registers a counting result with an operation state DB 26a corresponding to a time per game machine. A checking unit 122 checks a face image of a player playing at a processed game machine with a face image registered at the last minute based on the degree of similarity. A ready-to-win signal output unit 36b outputs a ready-to-win signal representing whether the game machine 36 has a ready-to-win state or not. An operation state determining unit 152 manages the operation state of the game machine based on the last operation information registered in the operation state DB 26a, the number of out balls, the presence or absence of the ready-to-win state, and a check result between the face image registered in the last operation information and a current player's face image. The invention may be applied to a monitoring system. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT</p> |
