Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a prize exchange guidance system in which the prize exchange guidance video shown on the display is automatically switched for each display scene through AI analysis. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, when customers wanted to exchange prizes they won at amusement facilities for cash, they had to do so at a dedicated exchange center. The prize exchange center is separated by a partition board into the prize sellers (customers) and the prize buyers (dealers), and prizes are exchanged for cash through an exchange window drilled in the partition board to allow prizes or cash to pass through, or through a communicating exchange recess. The procedure for cashing out the prize is as follows: when the prize seller places the prize in the exchange window or exchange recess, an employee of the prize purchasing company assesses the authenticity of the prize and sends the prize seller cash in return. On the other hand, some exchange centers are known to provide improved customer service by providing displays that guide prize sellers through the prize exchange procedure and by switching the guide images for each prize exchange stage.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2020-120939 Summary of the Invention Problem to be solved by the invention

[0004] The prize purchase display device of Patent Document 1 is designed to automatically switch the guide image on the display; prizes or cash are stored in a drawer located within the exchange recess, and the drawer is manually moved to exchange them for cash; the movement of the drawer is detected by a drawer sensor, and the guide image on the display is automatically switched. In addition, the display not only guides visitors through the cash exchange procedure, but also displays messages such as "Welcome" to visitors and informs them that their behavior is being monitored, thereby providing a security measure; however, this consideration is lacking in the prize purchase display device of Patent Document 1.

[0005] Furthermore, when introducing the prize buyback display device of Document 1, new equipment is required at the exchange point, and this also applies to exchange points that already have displays installed. In addition, since the prize purchase display device switches the guide image on the display using a drawer sensor that detects movement of the drawer section, there was a concern that a malfunction of the sensor could cause incorrect information to be displayed or not to be displayed at all.

[0006] Furthermore, in cash exchange offices other than those described in Patent Document 1, which are equipped with only a display, the guidance displayed on the display is switched by operating a numeric keypad attached to the display's control computer. However, in order to switch the guidance image, i.e., to switch the "Welcome" message, only customers who have come to exchange their money need to operate the numeric keypad, which requires employees to constantly monitor customers. On the other hand, since the employees have other duties within the cash exchange center, such as managing and counting prizes and cash, they cannot devote themselves solely to monitoring customers as described above, and it is difficult for them to switch to an information screen such as "Welcome" to customers.

[0007] The prize exchange guidance system using AI analysis of this invention is a prize exchange center where game prizes are exchanged for cash, and is divided into a prize selling side and a prize buying side. When the prizes are handed over from the prize selling side to the prize buying side, they are exchanged for cash at the prize buying side and paid out to the prize selling side. The prize exchange center is composed of a first camera installed to photograph the prize seller, a second camera installed to photograph the prize and the cash that moves between the prize selling side and the prize buying side, a display installed at the prize selling side that displays prize exchange guidance to the prize seller, a computer that controls the display, and an AI analysis server installed on the computer. The image of the prize seller taken by the first camera and the image of the prize and cash passing by taken by the second camera are identified by AI analysis, and the guidance display on the display automatically switches.

[0008] In addition, the second camera is installed on the prize selling side of the prize exchange center, and identifies images of the prizes and cash passing by using AI analysis, automatically switching the guidance display on the display.

[0009] In addition, the second camera is installed on the prize purchasing side of the prize exchange center, and identifies images of the prize and cash passing by using AI analysis, automatically switching the guidance display on the display.

[0010] In addition, the guidance display on the display is By AI analysis of the image captured by the first camera, the image of the prize seller is identified and automatically switched to "Welcome"; The AI ​​analysis of the image captured by the second camera identifies the image of the prize passing by and automatically switches to "Please wait a moment." Using AI analysis of the image captured by the second camera, the image of the cash passing through is identified and the display automatically switches to "Please check your cash" and "Thank you."

[0011] In addition, the prize exchange office is at least two or more places, Each of the prize exchange offices is connected to a control unit of the general management department via an internet line, and an AI server is installed in the control unit; The guidance displayed on each display at each prize exchange station is automatically changed based on the AI ​​analysis of the AI ​​server of the central management department.

[0012] The prize redemption information system using AI analysis of the present invention has the above-described configuration and has the following effects. The switching of display guide images at exchanges is done automatically through AI analysis, eliminating the drawbacks of conventional mechanical or manual switching, such as incorrect displays due to mechanical malfunctions or incorrect manual operation. Furthermore, the first change in the guide image on the display, the "Welcome" change, is only for customers exchanging prizes, so the employee does not need to constantly monitor people passing by the exchange counter or customers entering the store, and can concentrate on the actual cash exchange work, such as determining the authenticity of prizes and managing them. Furthermore, when the display's guidance image "Welcome" is switched, it also notifies customers that their behavior is being monitored, which also has the effect of preventing crime.

[0013] In addition, when identifying prizes or cash using AI analysis, photographs of the prizes or cash passing through the exchange recess are identified and analyzed, allowing the AI ​​to identify prizes or cash with high accuracy, even if the prizes or cash remain stagnant or other objects or hands are excluded. In addition, the prize redemption guidance system using AI analysis of this invention can be introduced in exchange centers that already have displays and manually switch guide images, or in exchange centers that only have a conventional exchange recess. In the former, it can be introduced using only a control computer equipped with an AI server, and in the latter, it can be introduced by adding a display to it.

[0014] In addition, in the case where there are multiple prize exchange locations, the prize exchange information system using AI analysis of this invention can connect each location via an internet line and install an AI server in the central management department, allowing the information images on the display at each exchange location to be switched in the same manner as described above.

[Figure 7] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing operation of a cash exchange information system at multiple stores. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The present invention relates to an automatic prize exchange guide system using AI analysis, and the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. The exchange office 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 is located in a corridor of a building or in a dedicated building, and is divided by a partition 2 into a prize selling side 3 and a prize purchasing side 4, with a display 5 attached to the prize selling side 3 of the partition 2. The display 5 displays and switches guidance images on a control computer 6 located at the prize purchasing side 4. Furthermore, the control computer 6 is equipped with an AI analysis server (not shown) at the edge, but this AI analysis server may be provided in the cloud via an internet line.

[0017] A tray 7 is provided below the display 5 on the partition board 2, and this tray 7 is composed of a tray 7a on the prize selling side 3 and a tray 7b on the prize purchasing side 4. The tray plates 7a and 7b have an exchange recess 8 suspended at the joint with the partition plate 2, and this exchange recess 8 is box-shaped with a bottom plate 9, and its interior is connected to the prize purchasing side 3 and the prize selling side 4.

[0018] Next, the procedure for exchanging prizes for cash will be explained. When a customer at the prize seller side 3 stacks and stores the prizes 10 in the exchange recess 8, an employee at the prize purchasing side 4 reaches into the exchange recess 8, moves the prizes 10 to the prize purchasing side 4 within the exchange recess 8, removes them, checks their authenticity, type and number, counts the amount to be exchanged, places the amount in cash 11 in the exchange recess 8 and sends it to the prize seller side 3. The customer completes the exchange of the prize 10 for cash by removing the cash from the exchange recess 8 and checking it.

[0019] In this invention, the customer's visit and the prize or cash in the exchange recess 8 are identified by AI analysis, and the information displayed on the display 5 is automatically changed. A first camera 12 installed in the exchange office 1 photographs the customer, and a second camera 13 photographs the prize 10 or cash 11 passing through the exchange recess 8, and the images are analyzed by AI. The first camera 12 is installed in a direction and location that allows it to take pictures of customers, and the second camera 13 is installed in a direction and location that allows it to take pictures of the prizes 10 and cash 11 passing through the exchange recess 8. In this embodiment, the first camera 12 is installed on the partition board 2 above the display 5, and the second camera 13 is installed on the top board 14 of the prize selling side 3 or the prize purchasing side 4 so as to face the exchange recess 8. Furthermore, the installation locations of the first camera 12 and the second camera 13 are not limited to those in the embodiment, as long as they can capture the identification images necessary for the AI ​​analysis described above.

[0020] Figure 5 shows the guide image on display 5 corresponding to the AI's identification. When the AI ​​identifies a customer using the image captured by the first camera 12, the message changes to "Welcome." When the AI ​​identifies a prize 10 passing by using the image captured by the second camera 13, the message changes to "Please wait a moment." When the AI ​​identifies cash 11 passing by, the message changes to the corresponding guide image, "Thank you for checking your cash."

[0021] Next, the cashing procedure will be explained using Figure 6. ▲1▼ AI identifies customers. ▲2▼ The guide image on Display 5 changes. ▲3▼ The customer puts the prize 10 into the exchange recess 8. ▲4▼ Prize 10 is moved to prize purchasing side 4. ▲5▼ AI identifies the passing image of prize 10. ▲6▼ The guide image on Display 5 changes. ▲7▼ Cash 11 is transferred to the prize seller 3. ▲8▼ AI identifies images of passing cash 11. ▲9▼ The guide image on Display 5 changes.

[0022] Therefore, when checking the essential scenes in the guide image on display 5, they are summarized as follows: ▲1▼The scene where the person in front of exchange office 1 is identified, ▲2▼The scene where prize 10 passes from prize seller side 3 to prize buyer side 4, and ▲3▼The scene where cash 11 passes from prize buyer side 4 to prize seller side 3. Each of these scenes is analyzed by AI, and the guide image corresponding to each scene is automatically displayed on display 5.

[0023] In addition, the prize redemption information system using AI image analysis of this invention is composed of a control computer 6 equipped with an AI server, a display 5 connected to this control computer 6, a first camera 12, a second camera 13, and a power supply 15, as shown in Figure 4. The control computer 6 performs AI analysis based on the accumulated image data of (1) an image of the customer, (2) an image of the prize 10 in the exchange recess 8 passing through to the prize purchasing side 4, and (3) an image of the cash 11 in the exchange recess 8 passing through to the prize selling side 3. In the analysis of (1), the computer only identifies the customer exchanging the prize for cash, without reacting to people passing by in front of the exchange office 1 or changes in the background. In the analysis of (2), the computer does not identify the case where something other than the prize 10 has been placed in the exchange recess 8 or where there is nothing inside, but only identifies the case where the prize 10 in the exchange recess 8 has been passed through to the prize purchasing side 4. In the analysis of (3), the computer does not react to the case where something other than the cash 11 has been placed in the exchange recess 8 or where there is nothing inside, but only identifies the case where the cash 11 has been passed through to the prize selling side 5. The guide image on the display 5 automatically changes in response to this AI analysis.

[0024] Furthermore, if the exchange 1 has two or more stores and each store is managed by the central management unit 16, the AI ​​analysis can be performed centrally by the central management unit 16, as shown in FIG. In the embodiment, the display 5 and the control computer 17 of each store 1, 2, 3, which is equipped with the first camera 12 and the second camera 13, are connected to the control unit 19 of the general management department 16 via an Internet line 18, and this control unit 19 is equipped with an AI server, which switches the guide image on each display 5 of stores 1 to 3.

[0025] In addition, the prize redemption guidance system that uses the aforementioned AI analysis can prevent crime by further leveraging AI machine learning. [Explanation of symbols]
