Data output device adn data output method
First Claim
1. A data output device comprising:
- an output device capable of outputting an image and/or a sound;
a memory which stores a plurality of types of output data for outputting the image and/or the sound;
a receiver for receiving, from a slot machine, a trigger signal including specification information for specifying the output data; and
a controller,said controller programmed to conduct the processes of;
(A) receiving the trigger signal from said slot machine through said receiver; and
(B) extracting, from said memory, an output data corresponding to the specification information included in said trigger signal and causing said output device to output the image and/or the sound based on said extracted output data.

2. A data output device comprising:
-
an output device capable of outputting an image and/or a sound; a memory which stores a plurality of types of output data for outputting the image and/or the sound and identification information for identifying a slot machine installed in association with said data output device; a receiver for receiving, from a server connected to the slot machine, a trigger signal including specification information for specifying output data and the identification information of said slot machine; and a controller, said controller programmed to conduct the processes of; (A) receiving the trigger signal from said slot machine through said receiver; (B) determining whether or not the identification information included in said trigger signal matches the identification information stored in said memory; and (C) extracting, from said memory, an output data corresponding to the specification information included in said trigger signal and causing said output device to output the image and/or the sound based on said extracted output data, upon determining through said process (B) that the identification information included in said trigger signal matches the identification information stored in said memory.

3. A data output device comprising:
-
a transmitter for transmitting a request signal for making a request for transmission of game data to a slot machine or a server; a receiver for receiving the game data transmitted from said slot machine or said server which received said request signal; an output device capable of outputting an image and/or a sound; a memory which stores a plurality of types of output data for outputting the image and/or the sound; and a controller, said controller programmed to conduct the processes of; (A) transmitting said request signal to said slot machine or said server through said transmitter; (B) receiving said game data from said slot machine or said server through said receiver; and (C) extracting, from said memory, an output data for outputting information based on said game data and causing said output device to output the image and/or the sound based on said extracted output data.

4. A data output method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a trigger signal including specification information for specifying output data, the trigger signal output from a slot machine and received through a receiver; and (b) extracting an output data corresponding to the specification information included in said trigger signal, from a memory which stores a plurality of types of output data, and causing an output device capable of outputting an image and/or a sound to output the image and/or the sound based on the extracted output data, each of said steps (a) and (b) conducted by a controller.

5. A data output method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a trigger signal including specification information for specifying output data and identification information for identifying a slot machine, the trigger signal received through a receiver which receives the trigger signal from a server connected to the slot machine; (b) determining whether or not the identification information included in said trigger signal matches identification information of the slot machine, the identification information of the slot machine being pre-stored in a memory, the slot machine being installed in association with a controller; and (c) extracting an output data corresponding to the specification information included in said trigger signal out of a plurality of types of output data for outputting an image and/or a sound, the plurality of types of output data being pre-stored in said memory, and causing an output device capable of outputting the image and/or the sound to output the image and/or the sound based on said extracted output data, upon determining through said step (b) that the identification information included in said trigger signal matches the identification information of the slot machine, each of said steps (a) to (c) conducted by said controller.

6. A data output method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) transmitting a request signal for making a request for transmission of game data, said request signal transmitted to a slot machine or a server through a transmitter; (b) receiving the game data from the slot machine or the server through a receiver; and (c) extracting an output data for outputting information based on said game data, from a memory which stores a plurality of types of output data for outputting an image and/or a sound, and causing an output device capable of outputting the image and/or the sound to output the image and/or the sound based on said extracted output data, each of said steps (a) to (c) conducted by a controller.
