JP 2013-114487 A

The voting methods used in the above-mentioned sports are complicated, and for voters with little voting experience (hereafter referred to as "novice voters"), the barrier to voting is high. For example, in horse racing, bicycle racing, boat racing, etc., beginner voters have to choose a voting method and contestant from many different options, making it difficult for them to understand how to vote.

One possible solution is to have other experienced voters present the voting options to the novice voter, and have the novice voter cast a similar vote to the other voters. However, when other voters present multiple voting options, the voter has the problem of not knowing which option is more preferable.

The present invention was made in consideration of these points, and aims to make it easier for voters to select what to vote for when voting 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 voting targets, and has a reception unit that receives from a second player a selection of one or more first players who specify voting targets for the competition, and a presentation unit that presents to the second player voting targets extracted from the voting targets specified by the one or more first players based on voting targets specified by multiple selected players including the one or more first players selected from multiple players who specify voting targets for the competition.

The present invention has the effect of making it easier for voters to select what to vote for when voting 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 a competition in which voting is possible for the betting target. Specifically, the information processing device 10 is a device that supports a voter using a terminal 20 to bet on a contestant (including an athlete or an animal) predicted to win a competition such as a bicycle race, horse race, or boat race by betting a predetermined value.

A bettor can choose a betting target, which is determined by a combination of a plurality of riders or race slots corresponding to the riders predicted to win the race, and a betting method (i.e., betting formula), and can set the chosen betting target and a predetermined value of bet number or bet amount for the betting target on the terminal 20. When the race to be bet on is Keirin, the betting target is, for example, a "double bet with number 5 coming in first and number 3 coming in second" or a "trifecta bet with riders 1, 2, and 5 selected." A double bet is a bet that predicts the first and second place riders in the order of their finish, and a trifecta is a bet that predicts the riders 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.

In the voting system 1, in order to make it easier for a voter who is a beginner as the second player to understand how to vote, the information processing device 10 displays on the terminal 20 the voting targets specified by the prognosticator who predicts the outcome of the competition as the first player, thereby presenting the voting targets to the voter. The prognosticator is, for example, a voter who has a lot of experience voting in competitions or a voter who has a lot of knowledge about the competitors, and is registered in the information processing device 10 in advance. The prognosticator may be a part of a plurality of voters, or may be a person who only makes predictions without voting.

A voter can view the voting targets specified by one or more forecasters displayed on terminal 20, and then vote for the same voting target as the displayed voting target, or for a voting target that is at least partially the same as the displayed voting target. In this specification, voting for the same voting target as the voting target predicted by the forecaster, or for a voting target that is at least partially the same as the displayed voting target, is referred to as "pooling vote."

When a doxor specifies multiple voting targets for one competition, or multiple doxors specify different voting targets for one competition, a voter who is a beginner at voting may not know which voting target is the more preferable voting target. Therefore, the information processing device 10 extracts voting targets based on the voting targets specified by multiple selected doxors, including one or more doxors selected from the multiple doxors who specify voting targets for the competition, from among the voting targets specified by the doxor, and presents the extracted voting targets to the voter. By operating in this manner, the information processing device 10 can make it easier for the voter to select the voting target when voting for the competition.
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
The storage unit 12 is a processing unit (CPU) that executes programs stored in the storage unit 12 to realize various functions.

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 and the voting amount (i.e., the bet amount) selected by the voter in association with the voter ID. The storage unit 12 also stores a predicted voting target table that includes information that associates each of a plurality of prognosticators who make predictions about the competition with the predicted voting target designated by each of the plurality of prognosticators.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing an example of a predicted voting target table. In the predicted voting target table shown in Figure 3, the name of the doctor, the voting method, and the voting target predicted by the doctor (i.e., the predicted voting target) are associated with each other. A "predicted voting target" is, for example, a combination of a voting method and a predicted winner corresponding to a voting target for which the doctor has already voted, or a combination of a voting method and a predicted winner corresponding to a voting target for which the doctor has notified the information processing device 10 that he or she wishes to vote.

The communication IF 13 has a communication controller for performing wired or wireless communication with the terminal 20 via the communication 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 4 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 memory unit 22 has storage media such as a read only memory (ROM) and a random access memory (RAM). The memory 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 communication 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>
5 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the processor 11. The processor 11 has a receiving unit 111, a presenting unit 112, and a voting unit 113. The processor 11 functions as the receiving unit 111, the presenting unit 112, and the voting unit 113 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 12.

The reception unit 111 receives from the voter a selection of one or more doctrinators who specify the voting target for the competition. Specifically, the reception unit 111 presents multiple doctrinators who will make predictions for the competition by transmitting the names of multiple doctrinators to the terminal 20 used by the voter who will vote for the competition and displaying the names of the multiple doctrinators on the terminal 20, and receives a selection of doctrinators from the voter.

Figures 6 and 7 are diagrams showing examples of screens that the reception unit 111 displays on the terminal 20. Figure 6 is a screen that is displayed on the terminal 20 when application software for voting is started. Figure 7 is an example of a screen that is displayed on the terminal 20 when a voter selects to make a joint vote.

The screen shown in FIG. 6 shows an area 251 for selecting a voting method, an area 252 for inputting predicted voting targets, an operation image 253 for selecting a piggyback vote, an operation image 254 for performing a cancel operation, and an operation image 255 for performing a confirm operation. If a voter wishes to determine the voting target for themselves, the voter can select a voting method in area 251, input the number of a contestant or entry slot in area 252, and select the "Confirm" button in operation image 255 to place their vote.

A voter who wishes to cast a piggyback vote can do so by selecting the "Piggy Vote" button in operation image 253 and then selecting the "OK" button in operation image 255, without operating areas 251 and 252. When the piggyback button is selected, the reception unit 111 causes the terminal 20 to display multiple predictors for which the voter can cast a piggyback vote, as shown in FIG. 7(a).

In FIG. 7(a), multiple predicted betting targets and odds are displayed in association with each of multiple doctrinators' names. The voter selects one or more doctrinators to whom they will share their bets on the screen shown in FIG. 7(a) displayed on the terminal 20. When the voter selects one or more doctrinators on the screen shown in FIG. 7(a), the screen transitions to the screen shown in FIG. 7(b). In the example shown in FIG. 7(b), it can be seen that doctrinator A has been selected. When the "Enter bet amount" button is touched on the screen shown in FIG. 7(b), the terminal 20 transmits selection information indicating the doctrinator selected by the voter from among the multiple doctrinators to the information processing device 10. The reception unit 111 receives the selection information from the terminal 20 and thereby receives the selection of one or more doctrinators from the voter.

The presentation unit 112 presents to the voter the voting targets extracted based on the voting targets designated by the multiple selected predictors selected from the multiple predictors who designate voting targets for the competition, from among the voting targets designated by one or more predictors whose selections have been accepted by the acceptance unit 111.

Specifically, first, the presentation unit 112 selects a selected prognosticator from among a plurality of prognosticators who specify voting targets for the competition. The presentation unit 112 refers to a predicted voting target table stored in the memory unit 12, and selects, as selected prognosticators, prognosticators who specify voting targets that are common to some of the voting targets specified by one or more prognosticators whose selections have been accepted by the acceptance unit 111. The presentation unit 112 includes, as selected prognosticators, one or more prognosticators whose selections have been accepted by the acceptance unit 111.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7(b), assume that a voter selects a prognosticator A, and the reception unit 111 receives the selection of prognosticator A from the voter. In this case, the presentation unit 112 refers to the predicted voting target table stored in the storage unit 12 and selects, as selected prognosticators, prognosticators who have specified a common voting target with some of the voting targets specified by prognosticator A. When the predicted voting targets specified by each of a plurality of prognosticators are stored in the predicted voting target table as shown in FIG. 3, the presentation unit 112 selects prognosticator A as the selected prognosticator, and also selects prognosticators B and D, who have made the same prediction as the predicted voting target of prognosticator A, in which the voting method is "2-horse combination" and the predicted winner is "2-5", as selected prognosticators. The presentation unit 112 preferentially presents to the voter the voting targets common to the selected prognosticators among the predicted voting targets of prognosticator A, the selection of which has been received by the reception unit 111. This allows the presentation unit 112 to narrow down the voter's voting targets based on the voting targets of other forecasters who have similarities between the selected forecaster and the selected forecaster, thereby reducing the effort required for the voter to select a forecaster to use as a reference.

Figure 8 shows an example of a screen on which voting targets are presented in a pool bet. In the example shown in Figure 8(a), a predicted betting target is displayed that is a common betting target between the selected predictors A, B, and D, and that has a betting method of "2-horse combination" and a predicted winner of "2-5." Also, in Figure 8(a), it can be seen that the odds for the predicted betting target being displayed, an input field for the bet amount, a confirmation button for making a vote, and a transition button for displaying other predictions are also displayed.

In addition, in FIG. 8(a), "Same predictors: many" is displayed under the predicted voting target. By checking the display of "Same predictors: many", the voter can confirm that the predicted voting target displayed in FIG. 8(a) has been designated by many predictors and is likely to be a relatively safe bet. This allows the voter to understand which votes are relatively likely to be safe and preferable, based on the predicted voting targets shown in FIG. 8(a). Note that although "Same predictors: many" is displayed on the screen shown in FIG. 8(a), the number of people with the same predictor may also be displayed.

In the example shown in FIG. 8(a), when a transition button to display other predictions is selected, the presentation unit 112 displays the screen shown in FIG. 8(b). In the example shown in FIG. 8(b), the predicted betting target for which the betting method is "2-horse combination" and the predicted winner is "2-3" is displayed, which is a betting target not shared between the selected predictors B and D and is one of the predicted betting targets for dowser A whose selection has been accepted by the acceptance unit 111. Also, in FIG. 8(b), it can be seen that the odds for the predicted betting target being displayed, an input field for the bet amount, a confirmation button for making a bet, and a transition button for returning the display to FIG. 8(a) are displayed.

Also, in FIG. 8(b), "Same predictors: few" is displayed under the predicted voting target. By checking the display of "Same predictors: few", the voter can recognize that the predicted voting target displayed in FIG. 8(b) is a voting target that is not supported by many predictors, and can decide whether to cast a vote for the predicted voting target shown in FIG. 8(b).
In the screen shown in (b), "Same predictors: few" is displayed, but the number of people who have the same predictor may be displayed.

When the reception unit 111 receives multiple prognosticators, the presentation unit 112 may select these multiple prognosticators as selected prognosticators. For example, when the reception unit 111 receives multiple prognosticators, the presentation unit 112 may select only these multiple prognosticators as selected prognosticators.

For example, on the screen shown in FIG. 7(a), assume that a voter selects a prognosticator A and a prognosticator B, and the reception unit 111 receives the selection of prognosticator A and prognosticator B from the voter. The presentation unit 112 sets prognosticator A and prognosticator B received by the reception unit 111 as the selected prognosticators. The presentation unit 112 refers to the predicted voting target table stored in the storage unit 12, and identifies the predicted voting target for which the voting method is "2-horse combination" and the predicted winner is "2-5" as a common voting target among the voting targets specified by prognosticator A and prognosticator B. The presentation unit 112 presents the identified common voting target to the voter preferentially. This allows the presentation unit 112 to narrow down the voting targets from the voting targets of multiple prognosticators directly selected by the voter, and enables the voter to vote using the voting targets of other prognosticators who are more reliable for the voter.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of a screen on which voting targets are presented in a ride-sharing vote.
In the example shown in (a), it can be seen that the predicted betting target, which is a common betting target between prognosticator A and prognosticator B whose selection has been accepted by the acceptance unit 111, is a betting method of “2-horse combination” with a predicted winner of “2-5”, the odds for the predicted betting target, an input field for the bet amount, a decision button for making a vote, and a transition button for displaying a single prediction are displayed.

In addition, in FIG. 9(a), the display "Common Prediction" and an image showing predictor A and predictor B are displayed above the predicted voting target. By checking the display "Common Prediction", voters can confirm that the predicted voting target displayed in FIG. 9(a) is a predicted voting target common to predictors A and B.

In the example shown in FIG. 9(a), when a transition button to display the individual prediction is selected, the display unit 112 displays the screen shown in FIG. 9(b). In the example shown in FIG. 9(b), it can be seen that the following are displayed: the predicted betting target of doctrinator A, the selection of which has been accepted by the acceptance unit 111, that is not shared with doctrinator B, the predicted betting target for which the betting method is "2-horse combination" and the predicted winner is "2-3", the odds for the predicted betting target, an input field for the bet amount, a confirmation button for voting, a transition button to display the individual prediction of doctrinator B, and a transition button to return the display to FIG. 9(a).

In addition, in FIG. 9(b), the display "Solo Prediction" and an image showing forecaster A are displayed above the predicted voting target. By checking the display "Solo Prediction", voters can confirm that the predicted voting target displayed in FIG. 9(b) is the sole voting target for forecaster A.

Note that the presentation unit 112 presents to the voter voting targets that are common between one or more prognosticators whose selections have been accepted by the acceptance unit 111 and the selected prognosticator, but this is not limited to the above. For example, as the number of prognosticators increases, the likelihood that each of the multiple voting targets specified by a prognosticator whose selections have been accepted by the acceptance unit 111 will be common to voting targets specified by other prognosticators increases. In this case, each of the multiple voting targets specified by a prognosticator whose selections have been accepted by the acceptance unit 111 will be displayed as a voting target with many identical prognosticators on the screen shown in FIG. 8(a), for example, which creates a problem in that it becomes difficult for the voter to narrow down the voting targets.

In response to this, the presentation unit 112 may present to the voter, among the voting targets designated by one or more prognosticators accepted by the acceptance unit 111, those designated in common by a predetermined number or more of the multiple selected prognosticators. In this way, the presentation unit 112 can easily narrow down the voting targets for which a certain number of selected prognosticators have voted in common, and display them as voting targets with many of the same prognosticators in FIG. 8(a). This makes it easy to narrow down the voting targets with high reliability. The predetermined number may be set by the voter. In this case, the acceptance unit 111 accepts the predetermined number in advance from the voter.

In addition, when the number of doctrinators accepted by the acceptance unit 111 is large, there may be no voting target that is commonly specified by all doctrinators. In this case, each of the multiple voting targets specified by the doctrinators accepted by the acceptance unit 111 is displayed as a voting target with few common doctrinators on the screen shown in FIG. 8(b), for example, which causes a problem that it becomes difficult for the voter to narrow down the voting target.

In response to this, the presentation unit 112 may present to the voter, among the voting targets designated by one or more forecasters received by the reception unit 111, those designated in common by a predetermined percentage or more of the multiple selected forecasters. In this way, the presentation unit 112 can easily narrow down the voting targets for which a predetermined percentage or more of the selected forecasters have voted in common, and display them as voting targets with many of the same forecasters in FIG. 8(a). This makes it easy to narrow down the voting targets with high reliability. The predetermined percentage may be set by the voter. In this case, the reception unit 111 accepts the predetermined percentage in advance from the voter.

On the screen shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, the voter inputs the amount of the bet on at least one of the one or more voting targets designated by the selected prognosticator. When the voter touches the "Confirm" button after inputting the amount of the bet, the terminal 20 transmits to the information processing device 10 the voter ID, selection information indicating the selected prognosticator selected by the voter from among multiple prognosticators, instructions to vote for at least some of the voting targets that are the same as those designated by the selected prognosticator (i.e., a piggybacking voting instruction to piggyback on the selected prognosticator), and the amount of the bet.

The voting unit 113 accepts the voter's instructions to vote for the betting object in the competition and the betting amount from the voter's terminal 20. The voting unit 113 executes the voter's vote for the competition in response to the voting instructions.

The voting unit 113 accepts a piggyback betting instruction for a race from a voter by receiving, from the voter's terminal 20, selection information indicating one or more selected forecasters selected by the voter from among multiple forecasters, a piggyback betting instruction, and a bet amount. In response to the voter's piggyback betting instruction, the voting unit 113 executes the voter's vote for the race based on the betting target designated by the forecaster for the race.

<Processing flow of information processing device 10>
10 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the information processing device 10. The flowchart shown in Fig. 10 starts at the point when "Riding vote" is selected on the screen shown in Fig. 6.

First, the reception unit 111 receives from a voter the selection of one or more predictors who specify the target of their betting for a race (S11).
Next, the presentation unit 112 selects selected prognosticators including the prognosticator accepted by the acceptance unit 111 from a plurality of prognosticators who specify voting targets for the race (S12).

Next, the presentation unit 112 identifies a common voting target among the selection predictors (S13).
Next, the presentation unit 112 presents the common voting targets and the non-common voting targets to the voter by displaying a screen showing the common voting targets and a screen showing the non-common voting targets on the terminal 20, as shown in Figure 8 (S14).

Next, the voting unit 113 judges whether or not a voting instruction has been received from the terminal 20 (S15). If the voting unit 113 judges that a voting instruction has been received, the process proceeds to S16, and if the voting unit 113 judges that a voting instruction has not been received, the process re-executes S15.
Next, the voting unit 113 executes a joint vote based on the accepted voting instruction (S16).

<Effects of Voting System 1>
As described above, the reception unit 111 receives from the voter the selection of one or more doxors who specify the voting target for the competition. The presentation unit 112 presents to the voter the voting targets extracted based on the voting targets specified by the multiple selected doxors including the one or more doxors received, selected from the multiple doxors who specify the voting target for the competition, from among the voting targets specified by the one or more doxors received by the reception unit 111. By the reception unit 111 and the presentation unit 112 operating in this manner, the voter can narrow down the voting targets by specifying other voters rather than the voting target itself. This allows the information processing device 10 to facilitate the selection of the voting target by the voter when voting for the competition.
