JP 2013-114487 A

For voters with little voting experience (hereafter referred to as "novice voters"), the barrier to placing a bet and voting is high. It may be possible to allow novice voters to vote without placing a bet, but competition organizers would not be able to increase their business revenues if no bets were placed. There is therefore a need to make it easier for novice voters to vote, while also enabling competition organizers to increase their business revenues. In this way, when multiple voting values are available for a competition, there is a need for a mechanism to improve voters' motivation to use not only one voting value, but also other voting values.

The present invention aims to improve the motivation of voters to use not only one voting value but also other voting values when multiple voting values are available for a competition.

An information processing device according to one aspect of the present invention is an information processing device that accepts votes for a competition in which voting is possible for a voting target, and has a reception unit that accepts at least one of a first type vote that uses a first value as a voting value or a second type vote that uses a second value as a voting value from a voter who votes for the competition, and a bonus granting unit that, when the reception unit accepts both the first type vote and the second type vote, grants the voter a greater bonus than when the reception unit accepts the first type vote but does not accept the second type vote.

The present invention has the effect of increasing the motivation of voters to use not only one voting value but also other voting values when multiple voting values are available for a competition.

<System Configuration>
Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration of a voting system 1 according to this embodiment. The voting system 1 shown in Fig. 1 includes an information processing device 10 and one or more terminals 20. The information processing device 10 and the terminals 20 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a communication network N such as the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN, or a mobile communication network.

The information processing device 10 is a device that accepts votes for competitions in which voting is possible for the betting object. Specifically, the information processing device 10 is a device that supports a voter using a terminal 20 to vote for a betting object athlete who is predicted to win a competition such as bicycle racing, horse racing, or boat racing. A betting object is an object for which a voter bets a predetermined value, and is determined by a combination of the athlete who the voter predicts to win from among the candidate sports objects (including athletes, racing vehicles, or animals) and the betting method (i.e., betting type).

When the event being voted on is Keirin, the betting options are, for example, a "dual bet with number 5 coming in first and number 3 coming in second" or a "trifecta with number 1, 2 and 5 riders selected." A dual bet is predicting who will come in first and second in the order of their finishes, while a trifecta is predicting who will come in first through third regardless of their order of finish.

The specified value may be money, or may be points that can be used in a specified service or game. The points may be points that the voter can receive free of charge (free points), or points that the voter can receive in exchange for the payment of money (paid points).

The information processing device 10 is configured, for example, from one or more physical servers. The information processing device 10 may be configured using a virtual server that operates on a hypervisor, or may be configured using a cloud server.

The terminal 20 is a terminal used by the voter to cast a vote, and is, for example, an information processing terminal such as a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet terminal, or a personal computer. The voter can cast their vote for a voting target by operating the terminal 20. When the terminal 20 accepts input of the voting target from the voter, it transmits information indicating the voting target to the information processing device 10 in association with voter identification information (hereinafter referred to as "voter ID") for identifying the voter using the terminal 20.

The information processing device 10 performs processes such as storing the betting object for which the voter using the terminal 20 voted, storing the amount of value owned by the voter, and determining the amount of reward (i.e., the payout amount) according to the outcome of the competition.

A voter using the voting system 1 can vote for a contestant using either the first value or the second value, or both the first value and the second value, as the predetermined value. The first value is a value that is easier for voters with little voting experience to use in voting than the second value.

The first value is, for example, a value that cannot be exchanged for money, and the second value is money or a value that can be exchanged for money. A voter may vote the first value or the second value for a contestant that he or she predicts will win. For example, if a voter uses the first value and the vote turns out to be correct, a first payout value is determined based on the odds corresponding to the vote and the first value voted. Also, if a voter uses the second value and the vote turns out to be correct, a second payout value is determined based on the odds corresponding to the vote and the second value voted. Here, the first payout value and the second payout value are different values. Also, the odds for the vote may be determined based on the votes of all voters based on the second value.

The first value is, for example, points that the information processing device 10 grants free of charge to a novice voter who has voted using the terminal 20 a predetermined number of times or less. As an example, the first value is a value that the voter acquires without exchanging it for monetary value, and is a bonus point that is granted when the voter logs in to use the voting system 1. On the other hand, the second value is a value that the voter acquires by exchanging it for monetary value, and is a value that the voter purchases by paying, for example, with electronic money or a credit card.

The first value may be a value that is not used in calculating odds in a competition, and the second value may be a value that is used in calculating odds in a competition. In this case, the content of a bet made by a novice voter using the first value does not affect the odds determined based on the content of a bet made using the second value, so voters can try out voting without hesitation.

The voting system 1 is characterized in that it allows novice voters with little experience in voting in competitions to easily gain experience in voting in competitions by voting using a first value, and also gives a greater benefit to voters who also vote using a second value than to voters who do not vote using the second value. In this case, a greater benefit does not only mean directly giving a value to a voter, but also includes increasing the amount of reward if the voter's vote is correct and increasing the possibility that the vote will be correct.

For example, when a voter has voted for a competition using the second value, the information processing device 10 may be configured to grant a larger first payout value for the same bet by the voter than when the voter has not voted using the second value. Also, for example, when a voter has voted for a competition using the second value, the information processing device 10 may grant a different third value in addition to the first payout value granted when the voter has not voted using the second value. The voting system 1 having such a feature makes it easier for novice voters to vote and motivates voters to also vote using the second value, thereby enabling the competition organizer to increase business profits.
The configurations and operations of the information processing device 10 and the terminal 20 will be described in detail below.

<Hardware Configuration>
2 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the information processing device 10. The information processing device 10 includes a processor 11, a storage unit 12, a communication IF (Interface) 13, an input device 14, and an output device 15.

The processor 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit), and realizes various functions by executing programs stored in the memory unit 12.

The storage unit 12 has a storage medium such as a memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD). The storage unit 12 stores the programs executed by the processor 11. The storage unit 12 also stores the voting target selected by the voter, the voting amount (i.e., the bet amount), the type of predetermined value used for the vote, and the like, in association with the voter ID.

The communication IF 13 has a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the terminal 20 via the network N. The communication IF 13 notifies the processor 11 of data received from the terminal 20. The communication IF 13 also transmits data input from the processor 11 to the terminal 20.

The input device 14 accepts input operations from, for example, an administrator of the information processing device 10. The input device 14 is, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, or a microphone. The output device 15 outputs information to, for example, the administrator of the information processing device 10. The output device 15 is, for example, a display or a speaker.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the terminal 20. The terminal 20 has a processor 21, a storage unit 22, a communication IF 23, an input device 24, and an output device 25.

The processor 21 is, for example, a CPU, and realizes various functions by executing programs stored in the memory unit 22.

The storage unit 22 has storage media such as a read only memory (ROM) and a random access memory (RAM). The storage unit 22 stores the programs executed by the processor 21.

The communication IF 23 has a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the information processing device 10 via the network N. The communication IF 23 notifies the processor 21 of data received from the information processing device 10. The communication IF 23 also transmits data input from the processor 21 to the information processing device 10.

The input device 24 accepts input operations from, for example, a voter. The input device 24 is, for example, a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, or a microphone. The output device 25 outputs information to, for example, a voter. The output device 25 is, for example, a display or a speaker.

<Function block configuration>
4 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the processor 11. The processor 11 has a reception unit 111, a reward provision unit 112, and a remuneration determination unit 113. The processor 11 functions as the reception unit 111, the reward provision unit 112, and the remuneration determination unit 113 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 12.

The reception unit 111 receives at least one of a first type vote that uses a first value as the voting value, or a second type vote that uses a second value as the voting value, from a voter who votes for a competition. The reception unit 111, for example, receives at least one of a first type vote that uses a first value that cannot be exchanged for money as the voting value, or a second type vote that uses money or a second value that can be exchanged for money as the voting value. The reception unit 111, for example, displays a screen on the terminal 20 that allows the voter to select at least one of a first type vote and a second type vote, and receives the type of vote selected by the voter on the terminal 20.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the terminal 20. In the terminal 20, the processor 21 executes a program stored in the storage unit 22 or based on an instruction from the reception unit 111, thereby causing the output device 25 to display the screen shown in Figure 5.

In the screen shown in FIG. 5, an operation image 251 is displayed for selecting a "point vote", which is a first type of vote that uses points, which is a first value that has been given to the voter in advance free of charge, and an operation image 252 for selecting a "money vote", which is a second type of vote that uses money, which is a second value. The voter can select either a "point vote" or a "money vote", or both a "point vote" and a "money vote".

In the screen shown in FIG. 5, operation image 253 and operation image 254 for specifying the voting method are displayed in association with each of point voting and monetary voting. The processor 21 may display only the voting method associated with the selected voting type, between "point voting" and "money voting", in a state in which it can be operated.

Figures 6 and 7 are diagrams showing examples of screens displayed on the terminal 20 after a betting type and a betting method are selected. Figure 6 shows a screen displayed after "point betting" is selected as the betting type and trifecta is selected as the betting method. Figure 7 shows a screen displayed after "money betting" is selected as the betting type and two-horse combination is selected as the betting method.

As shown in FIG. 6, when "Point Voting" is selected, the processor 21 causes the output device 25 to display in the point display area 255 the number of points available to the voter. The processor 21 also causes the output device 25 to display in the prediction input area 256 an image for inputting predictions. FIG. 6 shows an example in which predictions for numbers 3, 5, and 1 have been input in that order. The prediction input area 256 also shows that the odds corresponding to the input predictions are 12.5:1.

The processor 21 displays an image for inputting the number of points to be bet in the bet amount input area 257. FIG. 6 shows an example in which 1000 points has been input as the number of points to be bet.

When the voter also selects "money voting" on the screen shown in FIG. 5, the processor 21 displays the operation image "Next" for displaying a screen for setting the bet for "money voting". When the voter selects the operation image "Next", the processor 21 displays the screen of FIG. 7 on the output device 25.

In the "Money Voting" screen shown in FIG. 7, similar to the "Point Voting Screen" shown in FIG. 6, processor 21 causes an image for inputting predictions to be displayed in prediction input area 258. Processor 21 also causes an image for inputting a bet to be displayed in bet input area 259.

The reception unit 111 acquires various pieces of information input on the screens shown in Figures 5 to 7 from the terminal 20, associates the acquired information with a voter ID for identifying the voter using the terminal 20, and stores the acquired information in the memory unit 12. Specifically, the reception unit 111 associates the type of value used by the voter for voting, the voting method, the voting target, and the number of bet points or the bet amount with the voter ID and stores them in the memory unit 12.

The reward granting unit 112 determines the content of the reward to be granted to the voter. Details will be described later, but the reward is a value that benefits the voter, such as points that the voter can use in the next competition, or points that can be exchanged for money or goods. The reward granting unit 112 stores the reward granted to the voter in the memory unit 12 in association with the voter ID.

The reward determination unit 113 determines the amount of reward to be paid to a voter if the result of the vote by the voter is correct. The reward determination unit 113 associates the determined amount of reward with the voter ID and stores it in the memory unit 12.

<Granting of Benefits>
The reward granting unit 112 according to this embodiment is characterized in that it grants different rewards to a voter depending on which type of vote the voter selects, a first type vote or a second type vote. When the reception unit 111 receives both a first type vote and a second type vote, the reward granting unit 112 grants a larger reward to the voter than when the reception unit 111 receives a first type vote but not a second type vote. In the example shown in FIG. 5, when the voter selects both a "point vote" and a "money vote" on the screen shown in FIG. 5, the reward granting unit 112 grants a larger reward than when the voter selects only a "point vote".

When the reception unit 111 receives both a first type vote and a second type vote, the bonus granting unit 112 increases the number of winning patterns, which are patterns of competition results in which the voting result is determined to be a winning result, as an example of a bonus, compared to when the reception unit 111 receives a first type vote but not a second type vote. A winning pattern is a pattern of competition results in which the result of the competition is determined to match the betting target, and is determined by the ranking of at least some of the athletes who are determined to match the betting target. The bonus granting unit 112 may increase the winning patterns of both the first type vote and the second type vote, but may increase the winning patterns of the first type vote and not increase the winning patterns of the second type vote so as not to affect the management business of the competition.

The bonus awarding unit 112 awards before and after prizes as bonuses, for example, when a voter selects "money voting" in addition to "point voting." The before and after prizes are prizes in which monetary or non-monetary value is awarded to the voter even if the voting target does not completely match the competition result, for example, to include a similar pattern as one of the winning patterns of "point voting." A similar pattern is a pattern of competition results whose similarity to the voting target determined by the voter falls within a preset range, such as when the ranking of one athlete included in the voting target is different by just one, or when one of the athletes included in the voting target is another athlete, etc.

When a voter selects a "money vote" as well as a "point vote", the reward granting unit 112 may increase the number of winning patterns in the "money vote" without increasing the number of winning patterns in the "point vote". By operating in this manner, the voting system 1 can motivate novice voters to select a second type vote (e.g., a money vote).

On the other hand, when a voter selects "money voting" in addition to "point voting," the number of winning patterns in "point voting" may be increased without increasing the number of winning patterns in "money voting." By the bonus granting unit 112 operating in this manner, the voting system 1 can motivate novice voters to select second-type voting without increasing monetary payments.

The bonus granting unit 112 may add betting methods with lower odds than the betting method selected by the voter to the winning patterns for the first type of voting. For example, when a trifecta is selected as the betting method, the bonus granting unit 112 may also add a trifecta to the winning patterns, so that even if the finishing order is off, the winning pattern will be the case where the athletes who came in first to third place are correct. In this way, by increasing the number of winning patterns, the bonus granting unit 112 can increase the probability that novice voters who are not accustomed to voting will win, so that the voting system 1 is more likely to motivate novice voters to select second type voting as well.

As an example of a bonus, the bonus awarding unit 112 may award to the voter a first value whose magnitude is determined based on the magnitude of the second value used by the voter as a voting value in the second type of vote. For example, if the voter selects only "point voting", the bonus awarding unit 112 does not award points that can be used for the next "point voting" after the competition in which the "point voting" was performed. On the other hand, if the voter also selects "money voting", the bonus awarding unit 112 awards to the voter a number of points determined based on the amount of the bet for the "money voting" after the competition in which the "point voting" was performed.

Specifically, the reward granting unit 112 grants a first number of points to the voter when the bet in the "money vote" is a first amount, and grants a second number of points, which is greater than the first number, to the voter when the bet in the "money vote" is a second amount greater than the first amount. By operating in this manner, the reward granting unit 112 can motivate the voter to also select a second type of vote and to use a larger voting value in the second type of vote.

As an example of a benefit, when the reception unit 111 receives both a first type vote and a second type vote, the benefit granting unit 112 may instruct the reward determination unit 113 to pay a larger reward to the voter based on the result of the first type vote than when the reception unit 111 receives a first type vote but not a second type vote. The reward is a monetary or non-monetary value paid to the voter when the bet target matches any of the winning patterns. When the reward determination unit 113 receives an instruction to increase the reward to be paid to the voter, it calculates the reward to be paid to the voter at odds higher than the odds corresponding to the voting method selected by the voter. Note that the benefit granting unit 112 may grant a benefit when a second type vote is accepted for a competition in which a first type vote was accepted. Here, the voting content of the first type vote and the voting content of the second type vote may differ.

For example, when a voter selects only the first type vote, the odds are 12.5 times, whereas when a voter selects both the first type vote and the second type vote, the reward determination unit 113 sets the odds of the first type vote to 15 times. In other words, when a voter selects both the first type vote and the second type vote, the reward determination unit 113 increases the odds of the first type vote compared to when the voter selects only the first type vote.

The reward determination unit 113 may increase only the odds for the voting targets for which the voter has cast a second type vote, among the available voting targets. The reward determination unit 113 may also increase the odds for all of the voting targets for which the voter can cast a first type vote when the voter casts a second type vote for any of the available voting targets. However, the reward determination unit 113 does not change the odds for the second type vote. By operating the reward determination unit 113 in this manner, the voting system 1 can motivate voters to select the second type vote while preventing any impact on the business operator that manages the dividends for the second type vote.

When a voter selects both the first type vote and the second type vote, the reward determination unit 113 may increase the reward paid to the voter based on the result of the first type vote, depending on the magnitude of the second value used as the voting value for the second type vote. For example, the reward determination unit 113 awards a first point to a voter who wins in a "point vote" when the bet in a "money vote" is a first amount. On the other hand, the reward determination unit 113 awards a second point, which is smaller than the first point, to a voter who wins in a "point vote" when the bet in a "money vote" is a second amount, which is smaller than the first amount. By operating in this manner, the voting system 1 can motivate voters to increase the second value (e.g., the amount of the bet) used in the second type vote.

The reward paid to the voter may be any type, and is not limited to points that can be used for "point voting." The reward may be, for example, points that can be used for services other than those provided by the voting system 1, or points that can be exchanged for goods.

<Processing flow of the processor 11>
Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing by the processor 11. The flowchart shown in Fig. 8 starts with the processing of accepting a "point vote" on the screen shown in Fig. 5 (S11).

The reception unit 111 determines the type of vote selected by the voter (S12). If the reception unit 111 receives a "money vote" as well as a "point vote" (YES in S12), the reward granting unit 112 decides to grant the first reward to the voter (S13). For example, the reward granting unit 112 decides to use, as the first reward, a special winning condition that has more winning patterns than when only a "point vote" is received. The reward granting unit 112 also instructs the reward determination unit 113 to pay the voter a larger reward amount than when only a "point vote" is received (S14).

On the other hand, if the reception unit 111 receives only a "point vote" (NO in S12), the reward granting unit 112 decides to grant the voter a second reward that is smaller than the first reward (S15). For example, the reward granting unit 112 decides to use, as the second reward, a standard winning condition that has fewer winning patterns than when both a "point vote" and a "money vote" are received. The reward granting unit 112 also instructs the reward determination unit 113 to pay the voter a smaller reward amount than when both a "point vote" and a "money vote" are received (S16).

<Effects of the information processing device 10>
As described above, when the reception unit 111 receives both a first-type vote and a second-type vote, the reward granting unit 112 grants a larger reward to the voter than when the reception unit 111 receives a first-type vote but does not receive a second-type vote. By operating the reward granting unit 112 in this manner, for example, a novice voter who practices voting by "point voting" that allows voting without using money is motivated to try "money voting" that uses money to vote. In this way, according to the information processing device 10, when multiple voting values are available for a competition, it is possible to improve the motivation of the voter to use not only one voting value but also other voting values. As a result, it becomes easier for novice voters to vote, and the competition organizer can increase business profits.

<Modification>
In the above description, the information processing device 10 functions as an information processing device having a reception unit and a reward granting unit, but the terminal 20 may function as an information processing device having a reception unit and a reward granting unit. In this case, the terminal 20 determines at least one of the reward and the reward to be granted to the voter, and notifies the server that manages the reward and the reward for each voter of the determined content. With such a configuration, the same effect as the embodiment exemplified above can be obtained.
