Description

Support de loterie à microcircuit et procédé pour la distribution des lots d'une loterie mettant en oeuvre ledit support. Microcircuit lottery support and method for distributing lots of a lottery using said support.

La présente invention concerne le domaine des supports de loterie. Elle a pour objet un support de loterie à microcircuit, et un procédé pour la distribution des lots d'une loterie mettant en oeuvre ledit support. The present invention relates to the field of lottery supports. Its subject is a microcircuit lottery support, and a method for distributing the lots of a lottery using said support.

Dans le domaine de la loterie, les supports de jeu sont couramment des supports en papier ou en plastique; ils sont imprimés par des techniques d'impression standards. Ces supports comportent une face sur laquelle figurent certaines informations ou indications pour révéler le caractère gagnant ou perdant du support acheté, les informations ou indications étant masquées par une pâte grattable. In the lottery field, game supports are commonly paper or plastic supports; they are printed by standard printing techniques. These supports have a face on which certain information or indications appear to reveal the winning or losing character of the purchased support, the information or indications being masked by a scrapable paste.

Ces supports comportent également des moyens permettant de les authentifier comme par exemple un graphisme particulier difficilement reproductible, un numéro de série... These supports also include means for authenticating them, for example a particular graphic that is difficult to reproduce, a serial number, etc.

On connait également la demande de brevet n" 94 07906 du 24 juin 1994 dans laquelle une carte à puce est recouverte en partie d'un matériau grattable. Ce matériau sert à masquer les contacts électriques de la carte et, éventuellement, des symboles, chiffres ou graphismes qui peuvent servir éventuellement à un tirage de loterie. Patent application no. 94 07906 of June 24, 1994 is also known in which a chip card is partially covered with a removable material. This material is used to mask the electrical contacts of the card and, possibly, symbols, numbers or graphics that can potentially be used for a lottery draw.

Dans ce brevet, on ne décrit pas précisément comment les cartes sont utilisées pour effectuer le tirage et distribuer des lots gagnés. On suppose donc qu'elles sont utilisées de manière classique avec les inconvénients ci-dessous. In this patent, it is not precisely described how the cards are used to make the draw and distribute the won prizes. It is therefore assumed that they are used in a conventional manner with the drawbacks below.

L'emploi des supports actuels comme support de loterie implique lors de la mise en oeuvre de la loterie, une collecte des supports, un examen de leur caractère gagnant, un contrôle de leur authenticité, et la mise en place d'une gestion de la distribution des lots ou des gains.  The use of current supports as a lottery support implies during the implementation of the lottery, a collection of supports, an examination of their winning character, a check of their authenticity, and the implementation of a management of the distribution of prizes or winnings.

La présente invention a pour objectif de résoudre les inconvénients précités en proposant un support qui soit mieux adapté à la mise en oeuvre de la loterie. The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a support which is better suited to the implementation of the lottery.

Le principe de l'invention consiste à utiliser un support à microcircuit comportant des moyens de mémorisation de données et à inscrire le lot directement dans le microcircuit. Lorsque la carte est une carte destinée à contenir des unités de valeurs, le principe peut consister à distribuer le lot sous forme d'unités de valeur. Lorsque les données concernent une désignation d'un lot, la désignation peut être inscrite de manière sécurisée notamment en code chiffré. En cas de carte à décompte d'unités, le lot peut représenter par exemple des unités téléphoniques ou des unités monétaires. Les unités peuvent représenter des droits d'utilisation ou d'accès à des lieux divers tels des cinémas, ou des réseaux de transport ou autres. The principle of the invention consists in using a microcircuit support comprising data storage means and in writing the batch directly into the microcircuit. When the card is a card intended to contain units of value, the principle may consist in distributing the lot in the form of units of value. When the data concerns a designation of a batch, the designation can be entered securely, in particular in encrypted code. In the case of a unit counting card, the batch may represent, for example, telephone units or monetary units. The units can represent rights of use or access to various places such as cinemas, or transport networks or others.

A cet effet, I'invention a pour objet un support de loterie à microcircuit comprenant des moyens de mémorisation de données dans le microcircuit et au moins une face comportant une information du caractère gagnant ou perdant de la carte, des moyens de masquage masquant l'information et étant aptes à être retirés. II se distingue en ce que les moyens de mémorisation comportent directement des données représentatives d'un lot associé à l'information masquée. To this end, the subject of the invention is a microcircuit lottery support comprising means for storing data in the microcircuit and at least one side comprising information of the winning or losing character of the card, masking means masking the information and being able to be withdrawn. It is distinguished in that the storage means directly comprise data representative of a batch associated with the masked information.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le lot représente des unités à décompte. Ainsi, les gains sont immédiatement utilisables par l'utilisateur ou le joueur. According to another characteristic, the batch represents counting units. Thus, the winnings are immediately usable by the user or the player.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le support est une carte téléphonique et comporte des unités prépayées dans les moyens de mémorisation. Dans ce cas, le joueur peut faire valoir et utiliser son gain dans l'un des terminaux téléphoniques disponibles sur un réseau.  According to another characteristic, the support is a telephone card and includes prepaid units in the storage means. In this case, the player can claim and use his winnings in one of the telephone terminals available on a network.

La présente invention concerne également un procédé pour la distribution des lots d'une loterie. II est caractérisé en ce que l'on fournit une série de supports à microcircuit comprenant des moyens de mémorisation de données, et en ce qu'on distribue les lots ou leur indication directement dans le circuit électronique. Le gain peut être stocké et révélé uniquement de manière électronique par exemple à l'aide d'un lecteur spécifique. The present invention also relates to a method for distributing the lots of a lottery. It is characterized in that a series of microcircuit supports are provided comprising data storage means, and in that the batches or their indication are distributed directly in the electronic circuit. The gain can be stored and revealed only electronically, for example using a specific reader.

De préférence les supports utilisés sont tels que:
- Les moyens de mémorisation comportent directement des données représentatives d'un lot associé à ladite information.
Preferably the supports used are such as:
- The storage means directly include data representative of a batch associated with said information.

- Le lot représente des unités à décompte. - The batch represents counting units.

- Le lot est inscrit sous forme de code ou sous forme d'une information chiffrée. - The batch is entered in the form of a code or in the form of encrypted information.

- Le support représente une carte téléphonique et comporte des unités prépayées dans les moyens de mémorisation. - The support represents a telephone card and includes prepaid units in the storage means.

- L'information de gain est masquée par une matière grattable. - The gain information is masked by a scrapable material.

Les supports comportent donc une information du gain également sur une face du support et des moyens de masquage masquant ladite information et aptes à être retirés. The supports therefore include gain information also on one face of the support and masking means masking said information and able to be removed.

Les lots sont distribués, de préférence, sous forme d'un surplus d'unités venant se cumuler à des unités prépayées. The lots are distributed, preferably, in the form of a surplus of units which are added to prepaid units.

La présente invention va être décrite en référence à un exemple de réalisation tel qu'illustré à la figure 1 qui représente un support conformément à l'invention. The present invention will be described with reference to an exemplary embodiment as illustrated in FIG. 1 which represents a support according to the invention.

Le support de loterie de la figure 1 représente ici une télécarte 1. The lottery support of FIG. 1 here represents a calling card 1.

Une télécarte est une carte téléphonique comportant un microcircuit tel une puce électronique. Le microcircuit est apte à dialoguer avec l'extérieur notamment avec un lecteur d'un terminal téléphonique public via une interface représentée ici par des contacts métalliques 2. A calling card is a telephone card comprising a microcircuit such as an electronic chip. The microcircuit is able to interact with the outside world, in particular with a reader of a public telephone terminal via an interface represented here by metal contacts 2.

Le microcircuit comporte des moyens de mémorisation de données, en l'occurrence des unités téléphoniques ou unités de valeur, notamment monétaire, qui sont prépayées et qui sont décomptées à chaque utilisation dans le terminal téléphonique. The microcircuit comprises means for storing data, in this case telephone units or value units, in particular monetary, which are prepaid and which are deducted at each use in the telephone terminal.

Le cas échéant, le support peut comprendre des moyens de sécurité dont la fonction est d'attester que le caractère gagnant de la carte n'a pas été dévoilé par une lecture du microcircuit préalablement à la vente. Ainsi, par exemple, II peut être prévu un masquage des contacts comme dans le brevet précité ou d'autres moyens connus dans le domaine de la carte à puce. De préférence, le support est distribué avec un emballage assurant la sécurité ci-dessus. If necessary, the support may include security means, the function of which is to certify that the winning character of the card has not been revealed by reading the microcircuit before the sale. Thus, for example, provision may be made for masking the contacts as in the aforementioned patent or other means known in the field of the smart card. Preferably, the support is distributed with a packaging ensuring the above security.

La carte comporte, dans l'exemple, une première information visible 3 sur une face correspondant aux unités prépayées inscrites dans la mémoire ainsi qu'une seconde information 4 non visible indiquant si la carte est ou non gagnante. Dans l'exemple, cette seconde information est masquée par un masque carré 5 constitué d'une matière apte à être retirée par grattage. The card comprises, in the example, a first visible information item 3 on one side corresponding to the prepaid units written in the memory as well as a second non-visible item of information item 4 indicating whether or not the card is winning. In the example, this second piece of information is masked by a square mask 5 made of a material capable of being removed by scraping.

D'autres masques ou moyens connus par exemple de nature chimique, photosensible ou adhésive peuvent être utilisés pour dissimuler provisoirement une information qui pourra être révélée au moment opportun de manière irréversible. Other masks or known means, for example of a chemical, photosensitive or adhesive nature, can be used to temporarily conceal information which may be revealed at the appropriate time in an irreversible manner.

Dans exemple, la seconde information est une valeur 4 d'un surplus de 12 unités. Les moyens de mémorisation comportent donc en plus des 12 unités correspondant à la première information, des unités supplémentaires inconnues correspondant à la seconde information masquée. Ces unités supplémentaires viennent se cumuler à celles déjà acquittées. Ainsi la seconde information masquée étant 12 dans l'exemple, le joueur s'apercevra en grattant le masque 5 que la carte contient en fait 24 unités, soit le double par rapport à celles prépayées. II aura ainsi doublé sa mise. In example, the second information is a value 4 of a surplus of 12 units. The storage means therefore comprise, in addition to the 12 units corresponding to the first information, unknown additional units corresponding to the second masked information. These additional units are added to those already paid. Thus the second masked information being 12 in the example, the player will notice by scratching the mask 5 that the card in fact contains 24 units, ie double compared to those prepaid. He will thus have doubled his stake.

Le procédé mis en oeuvre par l'invention dans l'exemple, consiste à utiliser une série de télécartes ci-dessus comme supports d'une loterie et des lots sous forme d'unités téléphoniques. Ces unités sont déjà dans le microcircuit, ce qui permet de les distribuer en même temps que la carte. The method implemented by the invention in the example consists in using a series of above calling cards as supports for a lottery and lots in the form of telephone units. These units are already in the microcircuit, which allows them to be distributed at the same time as the card.

D'une manière générale, les unités peuvent représenter diverses valeurs, par exemple des unités téléphoniques ou des unités monétaires, ou des droits d'accès à des lieux divers tels des cinémas, ou réseaux de transport ou autres. In general, the units can represent various values, for example telephone units or monetary units, or access rights to various places such as cinemas, or transport networks or others.

Ainsi, sur le lieu de distribution des télécartes, I'utilisateur pourra découvrir un gain, ou l'absence de gain, après avoir gratté la matière du masque 5. Thus, at the place of distribution of the calling cards, the user will be able to discover a gain, or the absence of gain, after having scraped the material of the mask 5.

Aucun système de collecte des informations gagnantes n'est nécessaire. No system for collecting winning information is necessary.

En variante, en cas de la distribution d'un lot distinct des unités à décompte pour lequel l'utilisateur a acheté la carte, la nature du lot ou du gain peut être inscrite de manière sécurisée sous forme électronique dans le microcircuit éventuellement sous forme d'un code ou sous forme d'une information chiffrée. As a variant, in the event of the distribution of a separate lot from the counting units for which the user bought the card, the nature of the prize or the gain may be recorded securely in electronic form in the microcircuit, possibly in the form of 'a code or in the form of encrypted information.

La sécurité du système est particulièrement élevée puisque basée sur les mêmes principes de sécurité que ceux de la carte à puce. The security of the system is particularly high since it is based on the same security principles as those of the smart card.

Le procédé de l'invention peut concerner diverses applications de carte à puce telles que la carte porte-monnaie électronique, la carte bancaire... The method of the invention can relate to various smart card applications such as the electronic wallet card, the bank card, etc.

Pour une version économique, le support peut être réalisé sous forme de ticket à contact comportant notamment des résistances fusibles comme dans la demande de brevet n" 96 03045. Les unités sont dans ce cas représentées par des résistances que l'on vient griller chaque fois que l'on effectue un décompte unitaire. D'autres circuit de mémorisation connus, par exemple magnétiques, seraient également envisageables.  For an economical version, the support can be produced in the form of a contact ticket comprising in particular fuse resistors as in patent application No. 96 03045. The units are in this case represented by resistors which are burnt out each time other unitary storage circuits, for example magnetic, could also be envisaged.
