[0015]
Next, the operation of the aforementioned lottery ticket sales system will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing lottery ticket purchase processing in the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process in which the lottery mall site 1 in the present embodiment determines a lottery ticket set. First, a member accesses the lottery purchase Web site established on the Internet by the lottery mall site 1 from the terminal 3. Access from the member is accepted by the reception management unit 11 via the Internet 4 (step S1). The reception management unit 11 displays a screen for inputting a member number and a password on the member terminal 3 and receives input from the member. Since the member number and password of the member are stored in the member DB 15, the reception management unit checks the received member number and password on the member DB 15, and if the combination of the member number and password is normal, the member login Authenticate.
[0016]
Next, the reception management unit 11 presents a lottery selection screen to the terminal 3 in order to receive selection of lotteries that can be purchased at the lottery mall site 1. Here, it is assumed that the member selects a regular lottery ticket. Then, after accepting the selection of the regular lottery, the reception management unit 11 presents the purchase application screen a in FIG. The purchase application screen a is provided with an input field for designating purchase conditions including a set, a number, and the number of purchases. Here, the designation of the group and number may be either a group or a number, or only a part of the group or a part of the number may be designated. On the purchase application screen a, for example, the last digit of the group is “5”, the second digit of the number is “6”, the purchase number is 10 and the purchase condition is entered (step S3). Then, a designation screen b for displaying whether or not the lower one digit of FIG. If a check box is checked on this screen and an OK button is clicked, it is possible to purchase a lottery ticket with the last one digit number 0-9 after satisfying the purchase conditions. Here, it is assumed that the member clicks OK without checking the check box of the designation screen b indicating whether the last digit is aligned with 0 to 9, and the reception management unit 11 accepts the purchase application.
[0017]
Next, the reception management unit 11 of the lottery mall site 1 accepts the member's purchase application, and then records the purchase condition set and number information in the popular / unpopular number information DB 18. Here, the popular / unpopular number information DB 18 holds data in which the designated number of times is recorded in all of the pairs and numbers that match the group and number information designated by the member under the purchase conditions. Now, in step S3, since the member designates the last digit of the group as “5”, the reception management unit 11 records information on the group of purchase conditions in the popular / unpopular number information DB 18. The specified number of times for all the groups in which the first digit of the group is “5” is incremented by one and stored. In addition, since the member designates the last second digit of the number as “6”, when the reception management unit 11 records the purchase condition number information in the popular / unpopular number information DB 18, the last second digit is displayed. The designated number of all the numbers with “6” is counted up and stored by one.
[0018]
Further, the popularity / unpopular number information DB 18 stores popularity data set based on experience by the administrator of the lottery mall site 1 in the ranks of A to E in each of the pairs and numbers. . In the ranks A to E, A is the highest popularity value, and E is the lowest popularity value. FIG. 5C is a table showing the data of the designated number of sets and popularity. D is a table showing the number of specified times and data of popularity.
[0019]
In addition, the reception management unit 11 of the lottery mall site 1 also transfers the information on the purchase conditions of the accepted purchase application to the physical management unit 13. Then, the actual item management unit 13 confirms lottery stock information indicating whether or not the set, number, and number of purchase conditions specified by the member remain in stock (step S4). If the physical management unit 13 determines from the lottery stock information that there are no lottery tickets that match the purchase conditions in stock, the physical management unit 13 presents the fact to the reception management unit 11, and the reception management unit 11 informs the terminal 3. A confirmation screen as to whether or not to change the purchase conditions is presented (step S5). In the confirmation screen presented in step S5, if the member wishes to change the purchase conditions, the reception management unit 11 presents the lottery selection screen to the terminal 3, and again accepts the selection of the desired lottery type, Further, the purchase application screen a is presented on the terminal 3, and designation of purchase conditions including a set, a number, and the number of purchases is accepted. If the member does not wish to change the purchase conditions, the reception management unit 11 ends the lottery purchase reception.
[0020]
If the spot management unit 13 determines that the lottery ticket desired to be purchased by the member remains in stock in step S4, the reception management unit 11 displays a purchase condition confirmation screen for displaying the purchase conditions specified by the member at the time of purchase application. Present it to the terminal 3. The member reconfirms the purchase conditions from the purchase condition confirmation screen presented on the terminal 3, and decides to purchase the lottery by clicking the purchase decision button on the purchase condition confirmation screen. In response to the member clicking the purchase button, the reception management unit 11 instructs the ticket set management unit 19 to determine a combination of lottery tickets based on the purchase conditions of the member.
[0021]
Next, from FIG. 3, the ticket set management unit 19 extracts all lottery tickets that match the purchase conditions specified by the member from the lottery tickets remaining in stock, and from all the extracted lottery tickets. A ticket set is made by selecting only the number of sheets designated by the member (step S6a). The selection of the number of lottery tickets corresponding to the designated number is selected based on the designated number in the table c indicating the designated number and popularity data of the set in FIG. 5 and the table d showing the number designated number and popularity data. The Since the member specified the purchase conditions with the last digit of the group set to 5 and the last digit of the number set to 6, the first lottery ticket must be selected with the set of the last digit of the set set to 5. The group with the smallest number of designations is selected, and the number with the lowest number of designations is selected from the group, with the last digit of the number being the sixth. Next, for the second lottery ticket, the group with the last digit of 5 is selected and the group with the second lowest number of designations is selected. Select a number with less. Next, for the third lottery ticket, select the pair with the third lowest digit and the third specified number of times. Select a number with less. In this way, the ticket group management unit 19 repeats the above process 10 times as many as the purchase number of purchase conditions, selects a lottery ticket, and performs a ticket group. FIG. 6 is a table showing the lottery tickets selected by the ticket group management unit 19.
In addition, the above-mentioned ticket grouping method shows an example in which the ticket grouping is performed in order from a group with a small number of designations or a lottery ticket with a number. Therefore, a ticket set may be performed by selecting a set with a small number of times or a lottery ticket with a number according to another method for selecting a lottery ticket.
[0022]
Ten lottery tickets have been assembled based on the purchase conditions of the members. Here, the ticket assembly management unit 19 determines whether the rule can be applied to the ten lottery tickets assembled (step). S6b). This rule is a rule set in advance in the ticket group management unit 19 by the administrator of the lottery mall site 1, and is shown in FIG. For example, rule no. The rule 1 is set in the ticket group management unit 19 that “a lottery ticket whose popularity is E for both group and number is to include a lottery ticket whose popularity is A for both group and number”. Suppose that From FIG. 6, among the ten lottery tickets assembled by the ticket group management unit 19, “55 sets / popularity E / number: 166666 / popularity E” for both the set and number of E lottery tickets. In this case, the rule is applied (step S6c). Then, the ticket group management unit 19 incorporates the number “A” in the popularity of the group / number into the ticket group.
[0023]
The processing when inserting only one lottery ticket with the popularity of the group and number A into the 10 ticketed tickets is the “rank of the group number” Is the top lottery ticket, and it is specified that the lottery ticket with the least popular number is extracted and performed. From FIG. 6, there are two lottery tickets of A with the highest rank of the group number, and when the lottery ticket with the lowest popularity of the number is extracted, “35 groups / group of popularity A / Number: 198765 / Number of popularity E ” Then, in order to change this lottery ticket to a lottery ticket with popularity A, both the set and number, the ticket group management unit 19 selects and changes the lottery ticket with popularity of number A from the same 35 pairs. A lottery ticket whose popularity is A for both group and number is “35 sets / popularity A / number: 172863 / popularity A”. Thereby, the ticket set of the lottery ticket based on the purchase conditions of the member is determined (step S7).
[0024]
Next, since the lottery ticket ticket group based on the purchase conditions of the member has been determined, the ticket group management unit 19 notifies the settlement management unit 17 that the lottery ticket ticket group has been completed, and the number of purchased tickets. Is instructed to settle the purchase price (step S8). Then, the payment management unit 17 transmits the amount for electronic payment and member information to the electronic payment server 4, and electronic payment is executed in the electronic payment server 4. Further, after the ticket group is determined, the ticket group management unit 19 notifies the reception management unit 11 that the ticket group has been completed.
[0025]
When the reception management unit 11 detects the completion of the ticket set, it notifies the member terminal 3 that the acceptance of the purchase application has been completed. Then, the physical management unit 13 is instructed to erase the sold lottery ticket from the lottery stock information in the lottery DB 16. The physical management unit 13 transmits information for erasing the lottery ticket set by the ticket set management unit 19 to the lottery DB 16. As a result, the lottery ticket assembled from the lottery stock information in the lottery DB 16 is erased (step S9).
[0026]
Next, the reception management unit 11 supports the creation / sending unit 14 of creating a “lottery purchase specification” and sending it to the member. The document creation / sending unit 14 transmits the “lottery purchase specification” to the terminal 3 via the Internet 4 (step S10). The “lottery purchase statement” may be hard-copied and sent to the member by mail if necessary. Further, the information on the “lottery purchase specification” is transferred from the document creation / transmission unit 14 to the lottery DB 16, and the lottery DB 16 stores the information.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described above , according to the present invention , the reception management unit accepts designation of purchase conditions consisting of lottery ticket type, lottery ticket set, number, and number of purchases, and the physical management unit receives lottery tickets that match the purchase conditions. Judgment is made on the basis of lottery stock information stored in the lottery database as to whether it exists as stock. Then, the ticket group management unit extracts the lottery ticket based on the purchase condition from the lottery tickets determined to be in stock by the physical management unit, and then stores the specified number of times in the popular / unpopular number information database. A ticket set is performed based on at least one of a lottery ticket having a small number or number, or a low-popularity number or lottery ticket having a number.
Thereby, since the lottery ticket that is not popular is sold together with the lottery ticket number designated by the member, it is possible to sell the lottery ticket of the unpopular group or number without being sold. In addition, since unpopular numbers can be sold, it is possible to average the stock numbers of popular numbers and unpopular numbers.
[0028]
According to the present invention, the ticket set management unit determines the ticket set by correcting the ticket set according to a rule set in advance based on at least one of the designated number of times and the popularity. Thus, by applying the rule to the lottery ticket once assembled, for example, the lottery ticket to be assembled can be corrected so as not to become not very popular lottery tickets.
[0029]
Also, according to the present invention, the popularity is a rank for each set and the number determined based on a lottery sales experience. This popularity level enables the purchaser to select a lottery ticket that is more popular than the popularity level without having to select a popular group or number.
