Abstract

A chip recognizing and learning system includes: a game recording device configured to record a state of chips piled up on a gaming table as an image by a camera; a chip determining device including an artificial intelligence device configured to analyze the recorded image of the state of the chips to determine the numbers and kinds of chips bet by a player; and a teaching device configured to input, in a case where it is determined that there is a doubt for an error in a determining result of the chip determining device, the image used for determination of the chip determining device and the correct numbers and correct kinds of chips for the error as teaching data to the artificial intelligence device to allow the artificial intelligence device to perform learning.

Claims (39)

a teaching device configured to input, in a case where it is determined that there is a doubt for an error in a determining result of the chip determining device, the image used for determination of the chip determining device and the correct numbers and correct kinds of the chips for the error as teaching data to the artificial intelligence device to allow the artificial intelligence device to perform learning.

2 . The chip recognizing and learning system according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where it is determined that the determining result of the chip determining device is correct, the teaching device further inputs the image used for determination of the chip determining device and the numbers and kinds of chips of the determining result as teaching data to the artificial intelligence device to allow the artificial intelligence device to perform learning.

3 . A chip recognizing and learning system in an amusement place having a gaming table, comprising:

a game recording device configured to record a state of chips piled up on the gaming table as an image by a camera; and

a chip determining device including an artificial intelligence device configured to analyze the recorded image of the state of the chips to determine the numbers and kinds of chips bet by a player, wherein:

in a case where it is determined that there is a doubt for an error in a determining result of the chip determining device, the artificial intelligence device receives and learns the image used for determination of the chip determining device and the correct numbers or correct kinds of the chips for the error, the image and the correct numbers or correct kinds being input as teaching data by a teaching device.

4 . The chip recognizing and learning system according to claim 1 , further comprising a control device configured to determine whether or not the determining result of the chip determining device is correct, wherein:

the chip determining device is capable of determining kinds and the numbers of chips in a chip tray included in the gaming table and positions, the kinds, and the number of the chips bet by each player in a game performed on the gaming table from the image recorded in the game recording device, and

the control device grasps the actual total amount of the chips in the chip tray when retrieval of all the losing chips bet by each player ends, calculates the necessary total amount of the chips in the chip tray by adding an increased amount of the chip tray in the game calculated from the kinds and the numbers of the chips bet by a losing player to the total amount of the chips in the chip tray before settlement of each game on the basis of the determining result of the chip determining device, compares the necessary total amount of the chips in the chip tray and the actual total amount of the chips in the chip tray with each other, and determines that there is the doubt for the error in the determining result of the chip determining device when there is a difference between the necessary total amount and the actual total amount.

5 . The chip recognizing and learning system according to claim 4 , wherein the control device grasps the actual total amount of the chips in the chip tray based on radio frequency identifications (RFIDs) provided in the chips.

6 . The chip recognizing and learning system according to claim 4 , wherein the control device includes an artificial intelligence device for deciding a correct answer, the artificial intelligence device grasping the actual total amount of the chips in the chip tray from the image recorded in the game recording device and being different from the artificial intelligence device of the chip determining device.

7 . The chip recognizing and learning system according to claim 4 , wherein the game recording device records the image acquired from the camera after giving, to the image, an index or a time, or a tag specifying a retrieval scene or a payment scene of the chips, such that the chip determining device is capable of analyzing a record of the game.

8 . The chip recognizing and learning system according to claim 1 , wherein the chip determining device is capable of determining the kinds, the numbers, and the positions of the bet chips even when some of a plurality of chips put on the gaming table are partially or entirely hidden due to a blind spot of the camera.

9 . A chip recognizing and learning method in an amusement place having a gaming table, comprising:

a game recording step of recording a state of chips piled up on the gaming table as an image by a camera;

a chip determining step of analyzing, by an artificial intelligence device, the recorded image of the state of the chips to determine the numbers and kinds of chips bet by a player; and

a teaching step of inputting, in a case where it is determined that there is a doubt for an error in a determining result of the chip determining step, the image used for determination of the chip determining step and the correct numbers and correct kinds of the chips for the error as teaching data to the artificial intelligence device to allow the artificial intelligence device to perform learning.

10 . A chip recognizing and learning system in an amusement place having a gaming table, comprising:

a game recording device configured to record a state of chips piled up on the gaming table as an image by a camera;

a chip determining device including an artificial intelligence device configured to analyze the recorded image of the state of the chips to determine the numbers and kinds of chips bet by a player; and

a teaching device configured to input, in a case where it is determined that the determining result of the chip determining device is correct, the image used for determination of the chip determining device and the numbers and kinds of chips of a determining result as teaching data to the artificial intelligence device to allow the artificial intelligence device to perform learning.

11 . A chip recognizing and learning system in an amusement place having a gaming table, comprising:
