Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] The present invention refers to an approximate dividend rate (ots) information such as a horse race from a teletext station on a display device, and inputs a voting number and the purchase amount as it is at home. Concerning the above, regarding the purpose of providing a means for automatically calculating the dividends of a plurality of candidates selected from the above-mentioned odds information, the expected approximate dividend rate for horse racing etc.
A teletext processing unit for storing information, a voting processing unit for inputting and storing a number / group number for voting and a purchase price by referring to the odds information, and a device for reading and displaying the contents stored in both processing units. In the in-home voting device for providing a vote while staying at home, a plurality of candidates are selected from the odds information in the voting processing unit, and automatic calculation is performed so that almost equal payout dividends can be obtained regardless of which one is hit. It is configured to include means.

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to an in-home voting device that refers to approximate payout rate information for horse racing or the like on a display device from a teletext station, and inputs the voting group number and the purchase amount as it is at home.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a service on the sponsor side of a horse race or the like, there is provided a system for recruiting members of similar interest and voting by telephone while staying at home. That is, in a normal racetrack or the like, the total number is collected from the voting ticket sales window 1 through the center 2 to the general center 4, whereas in the telephone voting system, the member telephone 7 is used to register the telephone network 6 and the registered telephone voting system 3. It is totaled in the comprehensive center 4 via the.

Recently, using character multiplex broadcasting for this system,
A service has been added that broadcasts popular information that will be announced before the voting deadline before launch.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a home voting system combined with this teletext, and this system is applied to the present invention.

In the same figure, the teletext regarding the popular information from the teletext station 50 is received by the teletext adapter 70 attached to the TV 60 through the antenna 61 of the member's house, and the TV screen shows the popularity order shown in FIG. The approximate dividend rate is displayed. This is a bulletin based on the number of votes and has the same content as that announced at the racetrack. The home-voting person refers to this and determines the number / group number to vote for, and votes by telephone 7 to the general center 3 (here, including the telephone voting system 4) via the procedure described in FIG. Be notified.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

When referring to the Otsuzu information obtained from the teletext adapter 70 to vote at home, the problem that plagues the voter is the selection of the candidate number and the allocation of the purchase amount. Of these, the candidate numbering is set based on the survey of the voters, and from the results, if there is confidence in the expected rank, the purchase price will be allocated as usual and there is no particular problem.

However, although it is relatively easy to select a plurality of candidate group numbers, it is difficult to determine the order due to many unknown causes.

In such cases, it is highly probable that a loss will result if the ranking is forced.

Therefore, it is desirable that the same payout dividend be obtained regardless of which hit, and that this dividend exceeds the purchase amount.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an in-home vote device provided with means for automatically calculating the dividends of a plurality of candidates from the odds information so as to be the same.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, a teletext processing unit that stores expected approximate payout rate (ots) information such as horse racing from a teletext station, and a number / group number for voting with reference to the ots information. A voting processing unit for inputting and storing the purchase amount and a device for reading and displaying the contents stored in both processing units are provided, and in a home voting device for voting while staying at home, in the voting processing unit, from the odds information. A configuration is provided with means for automatically calculating such that a plurality of candidates are selected and almost the same payout dividend is obtained regardless of which one is hit.

[Action]

As shown in the principle explanatory diagram of the present invention in FIG. 1, the odds information from the teletext station is shown for three consecutive winning formula candidates in the example of FIG. It means that money will be refunded. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3B, for example, a purchase price of 10,000 yen is distributed at the ratio of the reciprocal value of Otsuzu. In this case, a dividend of about 100,000 yen will be obtained regardless of which of these three candidates is hit.
If the number of candidates increases, the hit probability increases but the dividend amount decreases.
In this way, it is possible to vote with a relatively high safety rate.

〔Example〕

The present invention applies the procedure of the principle explanatory diagram of FIG. 1 to the home voting system described in FIG.

FIG. 2 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the teletext adapter 70 which is the main part of the present invention.

In the figure, the teletext adapter 70 is a teletext processing unit.
It consists of 70 ₁ and voting processing unit 70 ₂ .

The Otsuzu information of the character broadcast station 50 is input from the antenna 61 to the tuner portion 11 of the teletext processing unit 70 ₁ temporarily stores in the memory unit in the signal extraction unit 12. The MPU 10 transfers the data of the signal extraction unit 12 to the RAM 15 according to the program of the ROM 14.
Obtaining a screen shown in FIG. 1 is displayed on the screen of the monitor TV apparatus 60 through the read teletext display control unit 13 by the monitor request signal to the content from the voting process section 70 _2.

Refer to the screen above and refer to the remote keypad (RKP) 26.
From the voting processing section, the candidate group number and purchase amount are used as key information.
The data is temporarily stored in the memory unit (ROM / RAM) 25 via the light receiving unit 22 in the 70 ₂ . A calculation unit 30 is attached to the CPU 20 as an essential part of the present invention, and this program calculates the reciprocal of a multiple of the required serial number in the odds information stored in the RAM 15, and distributes the purchase amount at this ratio.

First, when the automatic allocation vote is specified from the remote keypad 26, the CPU 20 transfers the oz information from the RAM 15 to the ROM / RAM 25, and the above-mentioned automatic allocation processing is performed according to the oz information and the purchase amount to correspond to the voting number. The distribution amount is calculated and transferred to the monitor TV device via the bus connection 23 and the character multiplex display control unit 13, and the screen of FIG. 1 is displayed. On the other hand, the voting information is transferred to the general center 4 via the line control unit 24 and voting is performed.

FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are example screens corresponding to the screens of FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), which are the main parts of the embodiment. The screen I of FIG. 11A shows the odds information and deadline time of the 3 consecutive winning numbers, and the screen II of FIG. 11B shows the purchase amount and the distribution amount for each group number.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, when Juan casts a home vote, and when he / she does not have sufficient confidence in selecting a candidate group number to be voted for, he or she selects a plurality of candidates from ozzu information or newspaper information. When the present invention is applied to these, almost equal payout dividends can be obtained regardless of which of the plurality of candidates is hit. This is displayed immediately by automatic calculation and voting is performed. As a result, it is expected that Juan will have the effect of mitigating an excessive risk factor and that the voting operation will be simplified.
