In the present embodiment, although the merchant terminal 10 is connected to the luck right server 20 through a value added network (VAN), it is also possible to connect using another communication network. The personal computers 11 and 12 can also be connected to the lucky ticket server 20 using various communication networks. The affiliated store terminal 10 has printing means on its own, but the personal computers 11 and 12 need separate printing means, for example, a printer apparatus.

The consumer using the merchant pays for the service provided. The merchant receives the lucky print data including the lucky number, the lottery round, the lottery date and time, the merchant identification data, and the issue time by using the merchant terminal 10 from the luck server 20 and prints it through the merchant terminal 10 to print. Pay to. Referring to FIG. 4, which shows an example of a luck ticket paid to a consumer by a merchant, as shown, the luck number, a lottery round, a lottery date, a merchant's name, and an issue time are printed. In addition, a place where the merchant issuing agent for checking the issuing merchant is taken is also prepared on the printing paper. In addition, it is natural that the text of the merchant's advertisement or any other pattern or text may be printed on the lucky mark.

The consumer checks whether the lucky number has been won on the homepage of the mass media or the lucky ticket server 20, etc., and when the winner wins, bring the lucky ticket received from the merchant and visit the winning processing server 30, for example, a bank, to obtain the lucky ticket. Present and ask for payment.

Receiving a lucky ticket issuance request signal including the merchant information and the password set for each merchant from a plurality of merchant terminals 10 connected to the network for luck rights server 20 (S1). The luck right server 20 queries the luck right information database 40 to determine whether the luck right issuing request signal is legitimate.

The luck ticket server 20 generates a luck number in response to the received luck issue request signal (S2), and issues luck certificate print data including the generated luck number, lottery round, lottery date, merchant identification data and issuance time. Send to the requesting merchant terminal 10 (S3). Then, the luck certificate print data is stored in the luck certificate information database 40. The merchant terminal 10 prints the received luck print data on a luck print sheet prepared in advance.

Fig. 4 shows an example of luck tickets on which luck certificate print data is printed. As shown, the lucky number, the name of the merchant and the time of issuance are printed on the luck ticket, and the merchant seal is prepared for printing the merchant's publisher on the printing paper. The merchant stores the merchants registered on the luck server 20 for each merchant to stamp the merchant's seal to prevent fraudulent receipt of the luck ticket. In addition, the merchant stores a certain amount of money, for example, 1,000 won per piece of luck tickets for a period of time, and pays for each period.

After a certain period has elapsed, the lottery contents including the size of the lottery and the winnings to be paid are determined by searching the previously generated and issued total luck tickets stored in the luck information database 40 (S4). Determination of the content of the lottery may be determined by a certain ratio with respect to the total amount of luck. For example, if the total amount of good luck tickets for a month is 100 million won and the payout is 60 million won excluding my expenses, the winner will be one and the winner will be 20% of the total sales. The winnings can be calculated as 20% of the total sales. The first prize winner can receive 60 million won * 0.2 * 1 = 12 million won as the prize money, and the second prize winner can receive 60 million won * 0.2 * 0.5 = 6 million won as the prize money.

The luck server 20 receives the video data, encodes it, compresses it, and stores it. If the photographing means is a digital camcorder, a separate converter is not required, but if the input image signal is an analog image signal, the A / D converter converts the digital signal. Image compression encoders reduce the amount of data in an image signal to facilitate transmission. As the encoding of the image signal, a well-known Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) or a Moving Picture image coding Experts Group (MPEG) may be used, and other video encoding and compression techniques may be used. Then, when the consumer connects to the luck server 20 through the network using their computer, the stored moving image data is transmitted. The transmission of video data is now widely known, and any technology can be used, so a description thereof is omitted here.

After the lucky draw is drawn, the lucky draw result, that is, the lucky draw information is input and processed and stored in the winning information database 50 (S5). Processing the winning information here means processing statistical information on the consumer who has won the lucky ticket and the merchants used by the consumer. Winning information is disclosed to consumers through the media, for example newspapers, broadcasts, telephone information systems, Internet home pages, and the like. The lucky ticket server 20 notifies the winning information to the winning processing server 30 connected to the network (S6). The winnings processing server 30 notifies the winners of the winnings or the winning prizes based on the received winnings information.

According to the above configuration, the present invention has the advantage of efficiently operating the luck right by uniformly paying luck right in a number of merchants regardless of the industry, and joint marketing is possible to reduce costs and maximize the advertising effect It has an effect.

In addition, the present invention has an effect that can increase the promotional effect by making consumers trust by presenting the lucky draw process as a video.
