first embodiment
[0220]The first embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to the drawings.
[Overview of Monitoring System]
[0221]The overview of a monitoring system in the present embodiment is described, using the floor map 2021 shown in FIG. 1 by way of example.
[0222]This monitoring system provides information on various places of a gaming hall using the floor map 2021 of the gaming hall. The floor map 2021 includes a variety of information on the current gaming hall mapped thereto periodically or in real time. Mapping means laying out the variety of information or distribution of the variety of information at corresponding positions to the places of the gaming hall where the information is acquired. Information in the past can also be mapped to the floor map 2021. The current and the previous information mapped to the floor map 2021 could be used to presume the future condition of the gaming hall.
[0223]Information on the gaming hall includes environmental information such as ...
second embodiment
[0873]The present embodiment describes an example where environmental information acquired by the PTS terminal 1700 is captured-image information with reference to FIGS. 54 to 58. In the present embodiment, elements different from those described in the first embodiment are mainly described; the same elements as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference signs and description thereof is omitted as appropriate.
[Environment Monitoring Service]
[0874]FIG. 55 illustrates an example of a sequence of environment monitoring service (image monitoring service). An outline of the environment monitoring service is described with reference to this sequence diagram.
[0875]At SQ100, in response to selection (user operation) of a gaming machine where to request images in the environment monitoring screen (image monitoring screen) displayed on the LCD 1408, an image request is sent to the monitoring server 14. The image request is sent together with a signal (such as co...
third embodiment
[0926]The present embodiment mainly describes a method of changing and displaying captured-image information acquired by the surveillance cameras 1611 to 1613 with reference to FIGS. 59 and 60. In the present embodiment, elements different from those described in the first embodiment are mainly described; the same elements as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference signs and description thereof is omitted as appropriate.
[Surveillance Camera Service]
[0927]FIG. 59 illustrates an example of a sequence of changing captured-image information in the surveillance camera service. This sequence is a sequence performed subsequent to SQ32 in FIG. 30.
[0928]In response to selection of a view range icon in the surveillance camera screen at SQ120, a designation request is sent to the monitoring server 14. In this sequence, a signal for identifying the coordinates of the selected view range icon is sent from the input controller 1406 connected with the mouse 1410. ...
