Abstract

To detect mounting of an LED board that mounts a wrong LED driver IC.SOLUTION: In a game machine, light emitting drive means includes drive data communication means for receiving drive data transmitted by control means, address setting means for setting a device address for checking up with address information included in the drive data, and light emitting signal output means for outputting a light emitting signal for allowing light emitting means to emit light. The drive data communication means includes drive data reception / transmission means for returning a response to the control means when receiving drive data while address information coincides with a device address. The control means determines that the light emitting drive means is normal when there is a response from the drive data reception / transmission means of the light emitting drive means, and determines that it is abnormal when there are no responses from the drive data reception / transmission means of the light emitting drive means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 398

Claims

[Claim 1] A control means for performing calculations to control the progress of a game; a first storage means for storing information necessary for the control means to execute arithmetic processing; a second storage means for storing information necessary for the control means to execute the arithmetic processing; a set value operation means for changing or checking a set value; a door opening / closing detection means for detecting whether a front door is opened or closed; a setting change processing means capable of changing the setting value; an input port processing means for reading information from an input port during interrupt processing that is executed based on a timer interrupt that occurs at a fixed cycle; the input port processing means reads setting operation information indicating the state of the setting value operation means and door opening / closing information indicating the state of the door opening / closing detection means; the setting change processing means determines whether or not the processing by the setting change processing means is to be completed based on the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information that have been read; The second storage means a predetermined area for storing the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information; a plurality of status information storage areas provided for each type of input port, for storing a plurality of types of information relating to the status of the input port; the input port processing means stores the setting operation information included in the input information read from a predetermined input port in the predetermined area, and stores the door opening / closing information included in the input information read from a specific input port in the predetermined area; the setting change processing means determines whether or not the processing by the setting change processing means is to be terminated by referring to the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information stored in the predetermined area; The predetermined area stores the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information for the current, previous, and previous-previous interrupt processing, respectively; the setting change processing means determines whether to end the processing by the setting change processing means by referring to the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information for a specific period from the present time, which are stored in the predetermined area; The input port processing means generates information relating to a change in the state of the current input port, including first state change information generated based on information indicating the current state of the input port, information indicating the state of the input port at the time of the previous interrupt processing, and information indicating the state of the input port at the time of the interrupt processing two times before, and second state change information generated based on the first state change information at the time of the previous interrupt processing and information indicating the state of the current input port.
