  Hereinafter, a method in which a user who visits a public competition in a group of a plurality of people uses the information sharing system 10 to share information related to voting and information related to the result will be described in detail.

  First, each of a plurality of users who visit the home site determines the information sharing terminal 1 that he / she uses from among the plurality of information sharing terminals 1 constituting the information sharing system 10. Thereafter, in each information sharing terminal 1, in accordance with the user's operation, registration processing for generating the group shown in FIG. 4, voting ticket reading processing for acquiring the voting contents shown in FIG. 5, and shared information shown in FIG. Three types of display processing for display are executed. However, the registration process among these processes needs to be performed first. Therefore, when the registration process has not been completed, the initial screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 15 of the information sharing terminal 1 in which a message prompting the user to perform the registration process is displayed.

Here, the registration process executed by the information sharing terminal according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, when the user presses the registration button B1 in accordance with the message on the initial screen shown in FIG. 7, the registration process shown in FIG. 4 is started, and the display unit 15 displays the personal registration screen shown in FIG. 8 (step S1). When the user inputs a name in the text box T1 on the screen and presses the personal registration button B5 (step S3), the user input reception unit 11 receives the input information, transmits the input information to the group generation unit 12, and transmits the group information. The generation unit 12 generates terminal information illustrated in FIG. 10 in which the input name and the terminal number of the information sharing terminal 1 are associated with each other based on the input information from the user reception unit 11. Further, the storage unit 17 stores the terminal information, and the communication unit 18 transmits the terminal information to the information sharing server 30 (step S5). Thereby, the information sharing server 30 generates the seating order information shown in FIG. 11 based on the terminal information transmitted from each information sharing terminal 1. The information sharing server 30 transmits the generated seat order information to each information sharing terminal 1 when the seat order information is generated.

  When the transmission of the seating order information by the information sharing server 30 ends normally, the communication unit 18 of each information sharing terminal 1 acquires the seating order information from the information sharing server 30 (step S7). Then, the group registration screen shown in FIG. 9 is displayed based on the seating order information acquired by the display unit 15 (step S9).

  On the group registration screen, as shown in FIG. 9, icons (I1 to I15) indicating each of the plurality of information sharing terminals 1 configuring the information sharing system 10 are displayed according to the actual arrangement of the information sharing terminals 1. . Further, in the information sharing terminal 1 whose name is already registered, the registered name is displayed on the corresponding icon in addition to the terminal number indicating the information sharing terminal 1.

  When the user selects the icon of the information sharing terminal 1 used by the user who should share information and presses the group registration button B6 (step S11), the group including the selected information sharing terminal 1 is already registered. The group generation unit 12 determines whether or not there is (step S13). This can be determined based on, for example, a result of searching group information stored in the information sharing server 30 using the terminal number of the selected information sharing terminal 1 as a key.

  If the group has not yet been registered (NO in step S13), the group generation unit 12 extracts the data of the information sharing terminal 1 selected on the group registration screen from the seating order information acquired in step S7. Thereby, the group information which defines the arbitrary some information sharing terminal 1 selected from the some information sharing terminal 1 as a group is produced | generated (step S15). If the terminal selected by the user is a terminal having terminal numbers 1, 2, and 6 as shown in FIG. 9, the group information shown in FIG. 12 is generated. Further, the storage unit 17 stores the group information, and transmits the group information generated by the communication unit 18 to the information sharing server 30 (step S17). As a result, the group information is shared by the plurality of information sharing terminals 1 via the information sharing server 30.

  On the other hand, if a group has already been registered (YES in step S13), the group generation end button B9 is pressed to prioritize the already generated group information, and the group generation unit 12 generates a new group. The registration process is terminated without doing so. In addition, when adding, when a terminal number (icon) to be added is selected and the group registration button B6 is pressed again, it is determined whether or not a group including the selected information sharing terminal 1 has already been registered. 12 is judged and updated. In addition, when performing deletion, when a terminal number (icon) to be deleted is selected and the group registration button B6 is pressed again, it is determined whether or not a group including the selected information sharing terminal 1 has already been registered. 12 is judged and updated. That is, in the registration process shown in FIG. 4, personal registration (name input) is executed by each information sharing terminal 1 belonging to the group, but generation and transmission of group information is performed by one information sharing terminal 1 belonging to the group. Can be done. Accordingly, FIG. 4 shows an example in which it is determined whether or not the group has been registered after pressing the group registration button. However, it is determined whether or not the group has been registered after transmitting the terminal information. A group registration screen may be displayed. The group may be generated by any information sharing terminal 1, but the group may be generated only by the information sharing terminal 1 (hereinafter referred to as a group member) belonging to the group.

  In the information sharing system 10, after each user inputs a name to the information sharing terminal 1 used by the user himself / herself, group information is generated simply by selecting an icon of the information sharing terminal 1 to be defined as a group by one user. be able to. For this reason, it is not necessary to perform troublesome procedures such as member registration in advance, and a group can be formed very easily.

  Further, the icon of the information sharing terminal 1 displayed on the group registration screen is displayed according to the actual arrangement of the information sharing terminal 1, and on the icon, in addition to the terminal number indicating the information sharing terminal 1 The registered name is displayed. Therefore, the user can easily identify the information sharing terminal 1 that should belong to the group. Further, the name input to the information sharing terminal 1 need not be a real name. For this reason, it is possible to avoid inputting personal information when using the information sharing system 10.

When the registration process is completed, the display unit 15 of the information sharing terminal 1 displays the initial screen shown in FIG. 13 on which a message different from the initial screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed.
Next, the betting ticket reading process executed by the information sharing terminal according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, when the initial screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed and the user presses the betting ticket reading button B3, the betting ticket reading process shown in FIG. 5 is started. And if a user inserts the voting ticket 51 purchased with the voting terminal 50 in the information sharing terminal 1, the voting ticket reading part 13 will detect the voting ticket 51 (step S21), and will acquire the voting contents of the voting ticket 51 ( Step S23). And the voting information generation part 14 acquires the terminal information produced | generated by the registration process shown in FIG. 4 (step S25), and the voting information which linked | related the acquired terminal information and the voting content which the voting ticket reading part 13 acquired. Is generated (step S27). FIG. 14 is an example of the voting information generated by the voting information generation unit 14 and illustrates voting information generated after a plurality of voting tickets are read.

  Further, the storage unit 17 stores the voting information, and the communication unit 18 transmits the voting information to the information sharing server 30 (step S29). Thereby, the voting information is shared by the plurality of information sharing terminals 1 via the information sharing server 30.

  When transmission of the voting information ends normally, the display unit 15 displays a voting ticket reading completion screen shown in FIG. 15 (step S31), and allows the user to select whether or not to read another voting ticket (step S33). When the user presses the next betting ticket reading button B7 (YES in step S33), the process returns to step S21 and the above-described processing is repeated. On the other hand, when the user presses the reading end button B8 (NO in step S33), the betting ticket reading process ends.

  When the voting ticket reading process is completed, the display unit 15 of the information sharing terminal 1 displays the initial screen shown in FIG. 13 again.

Next, display processing executed by the information sharing terminal according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the initial screen shown in FIG. 13 is displayed and the user presses the display button B2, the display process shown in FIG. 6 is started. First, the calculating part 16 acquires the voting information of the group member of the group to which the information sharing terminal 1 belongs (step S41). More specifically, the communication unit 18 acquires a plurality of voting information generated by the group members of the group to which the information sharing terminal 1 belongs, from the information sharing server 30, and stores the plurality of voting information acquired by the storage unit 17. To do. Thereafter, the calculation unit 16 acquires the plurality of voting information from the storage unit 17.

  Next, the calculation unit 16 determines whether or not new race result information exists (step S43), and if it exists (YES in step S43), the calculation unit 16 stores the new race result information from the storage unit 17. Obtain (step S45). The latest race result information is received by the communication unit 18 from the host 40 via the information sharing server 30 as needed, and the received latest race result information is stored in the storage unit 17.

  When the calculation unit 16 acquires the race result information and the plurality of voting information of the group members, the calculation unit 16 generates a plurality of voting result information of the group members of the group to which the calculation unit 16 belongs (step S47). And the memory | storage part 17 memorize | stores the produced | generated some vote result information. Here, each of the plurality of voting result information is information for each group member, and includes, for example, the purchase amount and the refund amount of each race.

  The calculating unit 16 further generates ranking information shown in FIG. 16 in which the plurality of voting result information of the group members generated in step S47 is ranked (step S49). Then, the storage unit 17 stores the generated ranking information. Here, the ranking information is information obtained by ranking the voting information within the group members. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, a target ratio (win rate) indicating the number of target races with respect to the number of purchased races for each group member. , Hit rate rank that is the rank of hit rate among group members, profit rate that shows the amount of refund for the purchase amount (investment) for each group member, profit rate rank that is the rank of profit rate within group members, It includes a maximum payout amount for each group member, a high payout ranking that is a rank of the maximum payout amount within the group members, and the like.

  Then, the calculating part 16 acquires the voting result information and ranking information which are memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 17 from the memory | storage part 17 (step S51, step S53). When new race result information does not exist (NO in step S43), the calculation unit 16 omits a series of processes (step S45, step S47, and step S49) for generating voting result information and ranking information. Then, the voting result information and the ranking information already generated and stored in the storage unit 17 are acquired from the storage unit 17 (Step S51, Step S53).

  And based on the acquired information, the display part 15 displays the voting result information display screen shown in FIG. 17 (step S55). On the vote result information display screen, as shown in FIG. 17, a plurality of pieces of vote information and a plurality of pieces of vote result information stored in the storage unit 17 are arranged and displayed for each group member.

  Further, when the user requests to display ranking information by pressing a ranking display button (not shown) (YES in step S57), the display unit 15 displays a ranking information display screen shown in FIG. 18 (step S59). On the ranking information display screen, as shown in FIG. 18, the ranking information generated by the calculation unit 16 is displayed by being arranged for each item such as a hit rate, a profit rate, and a high payout. Further, when the display of ranking information is not requested (NO in step S57), it remains as it is. Alternatively, the screen may return to the initial screen after a certain time has elapsed.

  Thereafter, when an end button (not shown) is pressed, the display process shown in FIG. 6 is ended, and the initial screen shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the information sharing system 10, it is possible to form an arbitrary group with a simple procedure, and it is easy to obtain group member voting information and voting result information among a plurality of information sharing terminals 1 belonging to the group. Can be shared. This facilitates communication between users who have visited the home in groups. Further, the information sharing system 10 can generate and display ranking information within the group members from the shared information. For this reason, it is possible to provide a new way of enjoying the public competition to the users who have visited the home in a group. Furthermore, since the voting information before the race is also displayed on the voting result information display screen, by using the information sharing system 10, beginners in the group can refer to the contents of voting by experienced persons in the group for their own voting. Can be. For this reason, the effect of incorporating a beginner fan can also be expected. Thus, according to the information sharing system 10, since participation in a group in a public competition is promoted, an increase in public competition fans can be expected.

<Example 2>
FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an overall configuration of a system including the information sharing apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 20 is a functional block diagram of the information sharing apparatus according to the present embodiment. The system shown in FIG. 19 includes an information sharing device 60 shared by a plurality of users in place of the information sharing system 10 including a plurality of information sharing terminals 1 used for different users. This is different from the system of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The other points are the same as the system shown in FIG. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 20, the information sharing apparatus 60 according to the present embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the information sharing terminal 1 and the information sharing system 10.

  The information sharing device 60 includes a user input reception unit 61, a group generation unit 62, a betting ticket reading unit 63, a voting information generation unit 64, a display unit 65, a calculation unit 66, a storage unit 67, and a communication unit. 68 is the same as the information sharing terminal 1 shown in FIG.

However, since the information sharing device 60 is a device that is used jointly by a plurality of users, the information sharing device 1 has the following differences.
First, the group generating unit 62 is different in that instead of defining a plurality of information sharing terminals 1 as a group, a plurality of users using the information sharing device 60 are defined as a group. In addition, the voting information generation unit 64, instead of associating the contents of the voting ticket with the terminal information, the voting ticket content read by the voting ticket reading unit 63 and the owner of the voting ticket input from the user input receiving unit 61 The difference is that voting information is generated in association with user information. Another difference is that no seat order information or terminal information is stored in the storage unit 67. Further, the information sharing device 60 is different in that the vote information of all users belonging to the group is generated in the device, and therefore it is not always necessary to share the user vote information via the information sharing server 30. For this reason, the communication part 68 should just be comprised so that the race result information may be received from the information sharing server 30 at least. As with the information sharing terminal 1, the information sharing device 60 transmits voting information to the information sharing server 30 each time it is created, and the voting information of users belonging to the group is sent from the information sharing server 30 at a necessary timing. You may receive it.

  Also with the information sharing apparatus 60 configured as described above, the same effect as that of the information sharing system 10 including the plurality of information sharing terminals 1 can be obtained.

FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an overall configuration of a system including the information sharing system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 22 is a functional block diagram of the information sharing terminal according to the present embodiment. The system shown in FIG. 21 includes an information sharing system 70 consisting of a plurality of information sharing terminals 71 instead of the information sharing system 10 consisting of a plurality of information sharing terminals 1 and the voting terminal 50. This is different from the one system. The other points are the same as the system shown in FIG. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 22, the information sharing system 70 according to the present embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the information sharing terminal 1 and the information sharing system 10.

  The information sharing terminal 71 is different from the information sharing terminal 1 in that a function for selling voting tickets is added. Therefore, the information sharing terminal 71 does not have to have a configuration corresponding to the voting ticket reading unit 13 shown in FIG. In addition, the point containing the user input reception part 72, the group production | generation part 73, the vote information production | generation part 74, the display part 75, the calculating part 76, the memory | storage part 77, and the communication part 78 is shown in FIG. This is the same as the information sharing terminal 1. However, the point that the user input reception unit 72 also functions as a vote content acquisition unit that acquires the content of a vote for a public competition input by a user's voting ticket purchase operation is the same as the user input reception unit 11 of the information sharing terminal 1. Is different.

  Also with the information sharing system 70 configured as described above, the same effects as those of the information sharing system 10 can be obtained. Even in the information sharing system 70, by configuring the information sharing system 70 so as to be able to make a deposit, a refund, etc., member registration for registering personal information in advance can be omitted. For this reason, it is possible to use the service with a simple procedure compared to the existing service that requires membership registration in advance and sells voting tickets via the telephone or the Internet.

  The embodiments described above are specific examples for facilitating the understanding of the invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. The information sharing system and information sharing apparatus according to each embodiment can be variously modified and changed without departing from the concept of the present invention defined by the claims.
