Abstract
An inspection system for inspecting a game token, includes: a game token assigned with code information such that an ID mark region covered with a UV ink is partially irradiated with laser light to denature or remove the irradiated part; an ultraviolet irradiation lamp for irradiating the game token with ultraviolet light for visualizing the UV ink; a UV camera configured to shoot the game token irradiated with ultraviolet light; and an inspection device configured to recognize the code information that has been visualized by the irradiation with ultraviolet light based on an image shot by the UV camera and determine authenticity of the game token.
Claims17
An inspection system for game tokens for games using a game table, comprising:
- a recording device configured to record types and authenticity of the game tokens using a camera;
- and
- an inspection device configured to determine authenticity of the game tokens using a result recorded by the recording device,
- wherein each of the game tokens is provided with a unique ID for individual identification in appearance,
- wherein the inspection device reads the unique ID of a target game token for inspection among the game tokens using the camera, and determines authenticity of the target game token based on the read unique ID, and
- wherein the unique ID for individual identification or for individual identification in a specific group unit is formed by irradiating an ID mark region that is formed of a UV ink or an infrared absorbing material with laser light to partially denature or remove the UV ink or the infrared absorbing material that forms the ID mark region.
A game token comprising a unique ID for individual identification provided on an outer layer of the game token, wherein the unique ID is read by a camera and allows determination of authenticity of the game token, and
- the unique ID for individual identification or for individual identification in a specific group unit is formed by irradiating an ID mark region that is formed of a UV ink or an infrared absorbing material with laser light to partially denature or remove the UV ink or the infrared absorbing material that forms the ID mark region.
An inspection system for inspecting a game token, comprising:
- a game token that includes an ID mark region entirely covered with an ink, and is provided with code information by irradiating a part of the ID mark region with laser light such that the irradiated part is denatured or removed;
- a camera for shooting the game token;
- and
- an inspection device configured to read the code information and determine authenticity of the game token based on an image shot by the camera.
A game token comprising:
- a display surface that displays at least a value of the game token;
- and
- an ID mark region provided on the display surface and entirely covered with an ink,
- wherein a part of the ID mark region is irradiated with laser light so that the irradiated part is denatured or removed to add first code information to the game token.
