Claims20
A gaming table system comprising:
- a first camera configured to image a chip placed on a gaming table in a casino;
- a chip recognizing unit configured to recognize a position, type, and number of chip on the gaming table by performing image recognition using AI technology to an image imaged by the first camera;
- a second camera configured to image a player playing a game at the gaming table to generate an image;
- a body recognizing unit configured to recognize a body of the player playing the game on the gaming table by performing image recognition using AI technology to the image imaged by the second camera;
- a first correlating unit configured to correlate the chip recognized by the chip recognizing unit and the player whose body is recognized by the body recognizing unit with each other, based on the position of the chip recognized by the chip recognizing unit and the body of the player recognized by the body recognizing unit;
- an ID identifying unit configured to identify a player ID of the player seating the gaming table;
- a reference image acquiring unit configured to acquire a reference image of the player seating the gaming table;
- a combination determining unit configured to determine a combination of the player ID of the player identified by the ID identifying unit and the reference image of the player acquired by the reference image acquiring unit;
- a second correlating unit configured to identify the player ID of the player shown in the image imaged by the second camera based on a plurality of combinations determined by the combination determining unit for a plurality of players seating the gaming table, and correlate the identified player ID and the player shown in the image imaged by the second camera with each other;
- a chip operating player identifying portion configured to identify the player ID of the player operating the chip, based on a correlation between the player and the player ID by the second correlating unit and a correlation between the player and the chip by the first correlating unit;
- and
- a recording unit configured to store the player ID identified by the chip operating player identifying unit and the type and number of chip recognized by the chip recognizing unit so as to be in association with each other, or record the player ID identified by the chip operating player identifying unit and a total amount based on the type and number of chip recognized by the chip recognizing unit so as to be in association with each other.
The gaming table system according to 1, further comprising:
- a database configured to store a player ID of a registered player and a reference image so as to be in association with each other, wherein:
- the ID identifying unit is configured to identify the player ID of the player by reading a player ID of the player from a membership card of the player for a new registration when the player whose player ID and reference image are not stored in the database seats at the gaming table,
- the reference image acquiring unit is configured to acquire the reference image of the player by imaging the player whose player ID is identified by the ID identifying unit,
- the database is configured to store the player ID of the newly registered player identified by the ID identifying unit and the reference image of the player acquired by the reference image acquiring unit so as to be in association with each other, and
- the combination determining unit is configured to determine the combination by referring to the database for the player seating any gaming table in the casino after the player is registered in the database.
