Description

  More specifically, the present invention relates to a race voting method for public competitions in a totalizeta system. More specifically, when a voting distribution is designated by a voter, a race singing that can receive a repayment distribution amount corresponding to the repayment distribution designated from the target amount. The present invention relates to a voting method, a race-flow voting program, and a race-flow voting apparatus.

  In public competitions such as horse racing and bicycle racing, various voting methods are provided, and fans enjoy the competition with their favorite voting methods. One of the voting methods is “sink voting”. This is a voting method in which a partner's number is selected around a single number (for example, a frame number or a horse number for horse racing) in a winning combination. .

  Unlike this sink voting, there is a method called “race sink”. This is to vote for multiple races with the same specified betting style and number, and if you hit the first race, the correct amount of that race will be used for the next race. Is a voting method in which the amount of money obtained by hitting is used to purchase a voting ticket for the next race), and if the hitting continues, a large amount of money can be obtained. However, if you do not hit the race in the middle of the designated race, there will be no money for the next race and the race will end at that point.

  This race voting is a rule that, as mentioned above, a large amount of money can be obtained if it hits all the designated races, but it ends at that point if one race is missed. For this reason, race voting is too popular to be popular because it is too risky.

As a conventional technology related to race-flow voting, a voting ticket vending machine that converts the input race-flow information into voting information for each race and sends it to a higher-level system when voting information about the race-flow voting is input from a voting terminal. There are suggestions. This proposal realizes a new race voting without any changes to the conventional host system (Patent Document 1).
JP 2000-99604 A

  As described above, the race-flow voting is a method of voting for the entire race in the specified range, and there has been a problem that it is not possible to receive a refund that has been hit until the end of the specified final race. For example, in the case where five races are designated and a race is cast, if all five races are correct when the fifth race is confirmed, a refund can be received there. For this reason, the voter who voted in the race runs out of funds in the middle of the race, and even if it was hit by the race flush until then, cancel the subsequent race there and receive a refund I couldn't. In addition, since all the payouts that were hit in the race-flow voting were used for the next race, there was a problem that many hit points could be expected but the risk was high.

  Therefore, if a part of the target amount can be refunded based on the voter's designation and the rest is used as funds for purchasing the voting ticket for the next race, the risk can be reduced. The present invention proposes a race voting method based on this idea. This proposal expands the options for voting, and is expected to increase fans and improve sales.

  The method proposed in Patent Document 1 also realizes a new race voting together with the voting method of the present invention.

The race-flow voting method, race-flow voting program, and race-flow voting apparatus of the present invention are configured as follows.
(1) 1st invention 1st invention is invention of the race flow voting method in which a voter can receive the money equivalent to the refund distribution specified from the hit amount when the refund distribution is specified by the voter.

  FIG. 1 shows the principle of the invention. The race-flow voting method comprises a voting information acquisition procedure 10, a ticket issuing instruction procedure 20, a voting procedure 30, a hit processing procedure 40, and a refund procedure 50.

  The voting information acquisition procedure 10 acquires voting information including a betting type, a set number, a refund distribution and the number of votes for a plurality of races designated from the voting terminal, and gives unique identification information to the acquired voting information. Store in the voting information file. The payout distribution indicates the ratio of the amount that can be received to the total amount of money that was hit each time a specified race was confirmed.

  The ticket issuing instruction procedure 20 instructs the voting terminal that has acquired the voting information to issue a voting ticket including the identification information. Specifically, information for instructing ticketing is transmitted.

  The voting procedure 30 performs a voting process based on the contents of the voting information file if the number of voting information stored in the voting information file is not “0” a predetermined time before the start of the designated race. The voting process is a process conventionally performed at the time of voting, such as adding the number of votes to each betting type set number of the corresponding race.

  The hit processing procedure 40 obtains a payout distribution amount from the hit amount and the payout distribution obtained by the hit if the ballot by the ballot procedure is hit at every determination of each designated race. It is stored in the voting information file, and the voting number in the voting information file is updated with the number of votes corresponding to the balance obtained by subtracting the payout distribution amount from the target amount as the number of votes for the next race. The voting information file is updated as “0”. In other words, the amount of payout distribution designated when hitting each race is stored, and the remaining amount of the hit amount is used for voting in the next race.

The refund procedure 50 instructs the voting terminal to refund the total of the refund allocation amounts stored in the voting information file based on a refund allocation amount refund request corresponding to the identification information from the voting terminal.
(2) Second invention The second invention is an invention which makes it possible to receive a part of the refund during the race. In other words, even if the race specified in the first invention is in the middle of being not confirmed, the voting terminal is to refund the total refund distribution of the race that has been confirmed when a request for refund is made from the voting terminal. Instructed to.
(3) Third invention In the third invention, the payout distribution can be designated for each race in the first invention and the second race-flow voting method.
(4) Fourth invention The fourth invention is a race-flow voting program based on the first invention.
(5) Fifth Invention The fifth invention is a race-flow voting device based on the first invention.

  According to the first invention, a voter can receive a refund amount of a specified ratio by specifying a payout distribution in a race flow vote, and provides a race flow voting method that reduces a risk that has been said to be high in the past. it can.

  According to the second invention, the voter can receive the refund distribution amount that the race has been confirmed if there is a hit in the middle of the race, so that it can be enjoyed by using that amount for other votes. The sales amount can be improved.

  According to the third aspect of the invention, the payout distribution can be specified for each race, so that the risk of race voting can be further reduced.

  According to the fourth and fifth inventions, it is possible to provide a race-flow voting program and a race-flow voting apparatus for race-flow voting with reduced risk as in the first invention.

(Example)
An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a configuration example of a race-flow voting system.

  The race cast voting server 100 is connected to the voting terminal 200 via a network. The voting terminal 200 is a dedicated terminal inside and outside the stadium, and reads voting information from the voting card filled in by the voter and transmits it to the race voting server 100. In addition, the contents of the vote are displayed for confirmation, and a voting ticket is issued.

  The race-flow voting server 100 includes a control unit 110 that controls data and programs, a communication control unit 120 that controls communication with the voting terminal 200, a race-flow voting program 140 that is loaded and executed on the main memory 130, and voting information. The stored voting information file 150 includes a voting count file 160 that stores the number of votes for the group number for each race, and a refund file 170 that stores information on the repayment money for the group number based on the odds after the race is confirmed.

  The race flow voting program 140 includes a voting information acquisition processing unit 141, a ticketing instruction processing unit 142, a voting processing unit 143, a hit processing unit 144, and a refund processing unit 145. Next, the outline of each program will be described.

  The voting information acquisition processing unit 141 acquires voting information from the voting terminal 200, adds identification information to the information, and stores the information in the voting information file 150.

  The ticket issuing instruction processing unit 142 instructs the voting terminal 200 to issue a ticket based on the acquired voting information. The given identification information is described in the voting ticket issued by the voting terminal.

  The voting processing unit 143 performs voting processing a predetermined time before the race designated based on the contents of the voting information file 150. If the number of votes in the vote information file 150 is “0”, this process is not performed.

  When the voting performed by the voting processing unit 143 is successful, the hit processing unit 144 obtains a payout distribution amount based on the information in the payout file 170 and the payout distribution information in the vote information file 150. That is, since the refund amount per vote for the set number is stored in the refund file 170 (details will be described later), the target amount is obtained by multiplying the refund amount by the number of votes in the vote information file 150. The refund amount (refund allocation amount) is obtained from the ratio of the refund indicated by the refund allocation from the central amount. Then, this value is stored in the voting information file 150. Further, the number of votes corresponding to the remaining amount obtained by subtracting the refund distribution amount from the target amount is obtained, and the number of votes in the vote information file 150 is updated. If the vote is not successful, the vote information file 150 is updated with the number of votes set to “0”.

  When a withdrawal request is made together with the identification information from the voting terminal 200, the withdrawal processing unit 145 refers to the voting information file 150, sums up the amount of refund distribution of the identification information, and obtains the information and the information of the withdrawal instruction. This is performed on the voting terminal 200.

  Next, data examples of the voting information file 150, the voting summary file 160, and the refund file provided in the race sink voting server 100 will be described.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the data of the voting information file 150. “Identification information”, “Race”, “Betting ceremony”, “Refund distribution”, “Number of votes (n)”, “Refund distribution (n)” Consists of fields. The “identification information” is information given when the voting information of the race flow is acquired from the voting terminal, and is a unique number for identifying other voting information. In “Race”, at least two races are designated by the race number designated by the voter. The “betting method” is a field for storing a designated betting type such as a single win, a double win, or a triple win. “Refund distribution” is the ratio (%) to the target amount when hit. “Number of votes (1)” is the number of votes of the race designated first, which is the number of votes of vote information acquired from the voting terminal. “Refund distribution (1)” is a refund (refund distribution) calculated from the hit amount and the refund distribution when the first designated race is finalized and hit. “Number of votes (2)” is the number of votes bet on the next race when the first designated race is confirmed and hit. Specifically, the number of votes corresponding to the amount obtained by subtracting the refund distribution amount from the target amount is obtained. Up to the stage before the start of the first specified race, information is stored in the fields from “identification information” to “number of votes (1)”. 1) "and" Number of votes (2) ". The identification information of “ABC123” in FIG. 3 is “triple single” for 5 races from “3 races to 7 races” with a set number “1-2-3”, 10 votes (voting The amount of money is 1,000 yen), and “30”% is designated as the refund distribution. At that time, the payout distribution amount is 3,000 yen and the number of votes for the fourth race is 70 points (7,000 yen). Furthermore, it is shown that the payout distribution amount was 42,000 yen and the number of votes for the fifth race was 980 points (98,000 yen) for the next 4th race.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of data of the vote totaling file 160. The “race No.” field indicating the race number is followed by the respective “set number” field of each betting type, and the setting number of each betting type. The last field consists of a “subtotal” field indicating the number of votes voted in the betting system. Race No. In the example of “2006052503” (meaning the third race on May 25, 2006), the winning horse number 1 has 350 votes, the winning horse number 2 has 110 votes, and the winning horse number 18 has 120 votes. In other words, 1,010 votes are voted for the winning bet type. Subsequently, the number of votes for the combination is stored in the same manner for the three units. When the voting process is performed, the number of votes is added to the corresponding set number of the vote totaling file 160.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the data of the payout file 170, and has substantially the same field configuration as the data example of the vote totaling file 160 of FIG. For example, race no. In the example of “2006055022”, winning horse number 1 has a payout of 120 yen per vote (per 100 yen), and triple single 1-2-3 has a refund of 1,000 yen per vote. Yes. After each race is confirmed, the refund is calculated and stored in the set number based on the vote totaling file 160 of FIG.

  Next, an example of the process flow of the race-flow voting process of the race-flow voting server and the process flow when there is a refund request from the voting terminal 200 will be described.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a process flow of race voting. Here, the voting information is acquired, the race is confirmed, and a refund amount (hereinafter referred to as a refund distribution amount) is obtained for each race. A series of processing will be described. First, the voting terminal 200 acquires the voting information obtained by reading and transmitting the voting card entered by the voter. The voting information is information including at least a plurality of race numbers, betting styles, group numbers, voting numbers, and payout distributions (S100).

  Subsequently, identification information is added to the acquired information and stored in each field of the voting information file 150. Then, the ticket issuing instruction information is transmitted to the voting terminal 200 that has acquired the voting information. At this time, the assigned identification information is transmitted simultaneously with the ticket issuing instruction information. This identification information is described in the voting ticket issued from the voting terminal 200 (S110, S120).

  Next, with reference to the voting information file 150, it is checked whether or not the next race currently being carried out is a designated race. If it is a designated race, a predetermined time before the start of the race (for example, Check if it is 15 minutes ago). At that time, the voting process is performed based on the voting information in the voting information file 150. For example, if the specified race is 15 minutes before the start of the third race, add the specified number of votes to the specified number of the third race in the vote counting file 160 (calculation of odds etc. This is not mentioned here because it is not directly related to the invention) (S130-S160).

  When the race is confirmed and the voted group number is correct, information on the refund per vote is obtained from the refund file 170 calculated separately by the system, and the value of the refund is multiplied by the number of votes Ask for. Here, this amount is referred to as a target amount. If the voted group number is not correct, the process for the race-voting identification information ends (S170, S180).

  Next, referring to the “race” field of the voting information file 160, it is checked whether or not the designated race remains, and if this race is the last race of the designated race, the corresponding voting information file 160 is applicable. Record the correct amount in the “Refund Allocation” field. If the designated race remains, the payout distribution amount and the vote amount for voting for the next race are calculated based on the numerical value stored in the “refund distribution” field of the voting information file 160. Then, the refund distribution amount obtained by the calculation is recorded in the corresponding “refund distribution amount” field. Further, the number of votes corresponding to the calculated amount of votes is recorded in the corresponding “number of votes” field, and the process returns to S130 (S190, S220).

  In FIG. 6, the flow of processing for one piece of identification information has been described in order to make the invention easy to understand, but in practice, the race-flow voting server 100 performs the above-described processing for a plurality of pieces of identification information. For this reason, in S130, whether there is a race designated for the next race for a plurality of pieces of identification information, and if so, whether the number of votes for the next race is “1” or more (“0”). And the subsequent processing is performed.

  Next, an example of a voting card read from the voting terminal 200 and a voting ticket issued from the voting terminal 200 described in the processing flow of FIG. 6 will be described.

  The voting card is as shown in FIG. 7, for example (horse racing is taken as an example), and includes information on a holding place, a race number, a betting style, a set number, the number of votes for the set number, and a payout distribution. In this example, the venue can be selected from the racetracks in Tokyo, Niigata, and Kyoto (the circles indicate selections and are filled). Specify the range of the race number and enter the number of the race (□ indicates the entry of numbers). The betting type is selected from nine betting types. As for the group number and the number of votes, for example, if a triple unit is selected for the betting system, for example, if the team number of 1-2-3 is voted 10 points, "01", "02", "03" "Enter the numbers" 10 ". In this example, up to 3 bets can be entered. The refund distribution can be specified in the range of 25-75%, and the number is entered in □. The voting terminal 200 reads the voting card inserted by the voter, races the read information (voting information), and transmits it to the voting server 100.

  The voting ticket is as shown in FIG. 8, and the top row shows the type of voting, identification information, and a playing field. That is, the type of voting is “race-flow voting”, the identification information is “ABC123”, and the stadium is “Niigata”. The next line is the race number designated by the voter, and here, from the third race to the seventh race is designated. The third and subsequent lines indicate the betting type, the set number, and the voting amount for the set number. In FIG. 8, the betting type is “triple unit”, the combination number is 1000 yen for “1-2-3”, 1000 yen for “1-2-7”, 1000 yen for “4-3-5”, 3000 in total. Indicates that you are voting a circle. The last line shows the payout distribution, which indicates that the payout will be made with a distribution of “30%” when hitting each race. When the voter inserts the above voting card into the voting terminal 200, the voting ticket is issued. And even before the last race of the designated race, the voter can receive the refund distribution money from the voting terminal 200 by inserting this voting ticket into the voting terminal 200. When the payout distribution is received before the final race of the designated race, the voting terminal 200 collects the inserted voting tickets and issues new voting tickets for the remaining races.

  Next, a refund processing flow performed at the request of the voter will be described.

  First, the identification information read from the voting ticket is acquired from the voting terminal 200, and the voting information file 150 is referenced to check whether or not this identification information exists. If not, a message such as an error message is transmitted to the voting terminal 200. If the identification information exists in the voting information file 150, it is checked whether or not there is a refund distribution amount for the identification information. If not, a message that there is no refund distribution is transmitted to the voting terminal 200. If there is a refund distribution, instruction information for collecting the voting ticket is transmitted to the voting terminal 200 (S300-S350).

  Next, it is checked whether or not the race voting for this identification information has been completed. This can be determined from the designated final race and the current progress of the race whether or not the designated final race has already been completed. Even if the designated race has not been raced yet, if the number of votes in the next race is “0”, there is a race that was not hit in the designated race so far. However, even in that case, the voting for the race has ended. In this way, when the race voting has been completed, the amounts in the field of the payout distribution amount are summed, and the summed amount and information on the payout instruction are transmitted to the voting terminal 200. Then, the record of the identification information in the voting information file 150 is deleted, and the process ends. If there is a number other than “0” in the number of votes for the next race, it will be judged as a request for refund distribution in the middle, and in this case a new voting ticket will be issued in place of the collected voting ticket. Add identification information. Then, the total of the payout distribution amount field is obtained, and a refund instruction and a ticket issuing instruction are transmitted to the voting terminal 200 together with the new identification information and the amount of the payout distribution amount. The previous identification information is rewritten to new identification information, and the refund distribution field is rewritten to “0”.

  According to the refund processing flow of FIG. 9, the voter can receive a refund of the refund distribution amount during or after the designated race.

  In the above description of the embodiment, an example in which only one payout distribution can be specified has been described. However, a payout distribution may be specified for each specified race.

In addition to the above examples, the following additional notes are disclosed.
