Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Bestimmen der Entfernung zwischen einem Monitor eines münzbetätigten Unterhaltungsautomaten und einer seiner Bedieneinrichtungen

摘要

The controller (10) has at least one counter (22), in which the line recording pulses of the monitor (2) determined by the light receiver (24) are detected. The counter reading is a measure of the distance between the light receiver (24) of the operating unit (3) and the monitor (2). The game result can be influenced by the reading of the counter (22). The actual determined distance is compared with a distance value stored in a RAM. Upon deviation from the distance specified in the RAM, the attained game result is disallowed. ADVANTAGE - Distance of operating units from monitor can influence game duration so that distance between monitor and operating unit is determined.
