Patent EP-1304668-A2 (EP)
Inventor: OKADA KAZUO
IPC: A63F5/04
Filed: 2002-10-16
Abstract: A player change on each game machine (2) is detected and, based on the
detection result, the cumulative credit consumption on each game machine (2) is
controlled per player. When the cumulative credit consumption of a player reaches an
upper limit, a return to the player is executed. At this time, if a predetermined upper
limit value that is standard for return is relatively high, a return is less likely to occur.
On the other hand, a relatively low predetermined upper limit offers poor game
characteristics. In the present invention, a predetermined upper limit as standard for
return is settable by the player's operation. This produces such circumstances that the
player can perform a game without anxiety, while enjoying amusement of the game. It
is therefore possible to eliminate the problem of missing customers.

Abstract: An invention that judges whether an engine is being cranked by a starter
based on the conditions that a prior cranking control has ended, the engine rotates
at or less than a limit rotation velocity leading to an engine stall, and a battery
voltage falls to or below a predetermined value. When such conditions are met,
then engine cranking control is started. The engine can be shifted to the cranking
control without an input signal from a starter switch and the engine can be promptly
cranked.
