Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a remote voting system for races that can be enjoyed easily and easily with a small amount of hands even in remote areas.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, to publicly vote on races as public competitions such as bicycle races, horse races, auto races, and boat races, join the telephone voting system for those races.
They bet on the phone according to given instructions. Also,
In order to watch the race in a remote place, we had a broadcast reception contract specializing in the race and set up a reception facility at home to watch the race.

[0003]

As described above, conventionally,
To watch the race, I had to go to the racetrack or subscribe to a dedicated TV broadcast. But,
Racetracks are often in relatively remote areas. Therefore, it often takes a lot of time and money to make a round trip to the racetrack, and even when watching TV, it costs a lot of money for a dedicated contract, equipment, etc. It was hard to enjoy. in addition,
Betting by telephone voting while watching TV at home was sometimes even more discouraging because of educational problems for minors. In addition, when a horse betting ticket or the like is sold at a betting ticket sales place other than the race track, various problems such as traffic congestion and disorder of the morale occur at the place of sale. In addition, even if the telephone voting system and the race video broadcast receiving facility are combined, they are systems independent of each other, and it is actually difficult for the spectator to handle both independently. In other words, even if you try to realize a system that combines race watching and voting at a race watching venue with the above-mentioned dedicated TV broadcasting,
Dedicated TV broadcast transmission lines used for watching games The telephone lines used for voting are completely different from each other, and it is difficult to associate them with each other, and even if they try to associate them, there is a problem of identification of general voters. Therefore, it was actually extremely difficult to make an integrated system using the existing system.

The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object thereof is to easily and inexpensively race even if it is remote from a racetrack of a public competition such as a horse race. Is to be able to watch and vote.

[0005]

The remote voting system of the present invention comprises a data transmission means for transmitting various data regarding public or private competitions such as bicycle races, horse races, auto races, boat races, soccer, car races, and the like. Receiving and displaying means for receiving the various data from the data transmitting means and displaying the various data in a state in which a person who wants to vote can grasp the information by sound, video, printed matter or any combination thereof, and a vote request. Performs voting data processing to process the voting content data sent via the telephone line with the terminal operated by the person, withdraws the bet used for voting from the deposit account of the applicant for voting, and when there is a dividend Computer means for performing an account process for transferring money to the account.

To the customer, and various kinds of information processing are performed there, and the processing result can be transmitted from the computer 69 to the customer.

Returning to FIG. 1 again, the parking lot 10 will be described.
The spectator room 22 as a relatively large spectator venue in the center of the
Is installed. In the spectator room 22, for example, a large television 24 and a sofa 25 for watching a game are installed. It is also possible to show a race at a different race place on each large television 24. A reception unit 26 is provided in the spectator room 22 and a receptionist 28 is on standby. Further, in the reception unit 26, a dedicated or general-purpose telephone device 30 for telephone voting for various public competitions such as bicycle racing, horse racing, auto racing, and boat racing is installed. And spectator 3
In response to the request from 2, the receptionist 28 performs a predetermined telephone vote on behalf of the spectator 32.

[0009] Such telephone voting satisfies certain conditions even if the person already has the right to vote under the current telephone voting system, or even if he does not have the right now. Can be a person. The private room 12 and the spectator room 22 may be independently provided regardless of other facilities, but other facilities such as a karaoke house, a pachinko parlor, a bathing facility such as a sauna and a bath, a department store, a salon, It can also be attached to facilities such as various membership clubs and driving ranges.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a case where such a private room 12 or a watching room 22 is provided alongside a karaoke house, a pachinko parlor, or the like or under the management of those parlors. Here, the case where a public game 80 of boats, horse racing, bicycles and motorcycles is watched and voted is shown. We entrust one person or one organization (here, sports theater union 81) with the authority to establish facilities for watching and voting on these competitions. Then, this association 81 gives various management organizations 82 (here, karaoke association, pachinko association, etc.) for each business type the authority to permit the installation of the private room or the watching room. Each of these organizations 82 permits the installation of a spectator room or the like to the individual installation location (sports palace) 83 of the sauna, department store, or the like that has joined the self. In this case, when there are a large number such as a karaoke house or a pachinko parlor, a plurality of branches 84 are formed under the organization 82, for example, a karaoke association, and the branch 84 is installed in the karaoke house to which it belongs. It can also be in the form of giving permission. Therefore, for example, the customer enters a karaoke house, watches a certain game, and votes.

A remote voting system for races according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Here, an example is shown in which both the voting by the spectator 32a who has the telephone voting right and the voting by the spectator 32b who does not have the voting right via the reception unit 26 are possible.

A television camera 42, which is a photographing device, is installed in the racetrack 40, and the image thereof is transmitted to the whole country or a specific area in real time via a transmitter 44 and an antenna 44A. The association 46, which is the organizer, manages these races and manages the profits and dividends of the races. The computer at the association 46
It is online with a personal account 48a of a person who has the right to vote by telephone, and can process online withdrawals and transfers of bets and dividends. further,
As described above, even persons who do not have the right to vote by telephone can vote by telephone through the reception unit 26 having the representative account 48 shared by these persons. Further, the means for transmitting the race video, the telephone line for telephone voting, and the wager account processing means are linked not only on the race organizer side but also on the race watching venue side.
As a result, it is possible to easily select a watching race, vote, and place a bet at the watching site, and the race organizer can manage the telephone voters by using a communication means via a telephone line. .

In the system as described above, a person who has a telephone voting right enters, for example, the private room 12 and
Display your favorite race on TV 14. In parallel with this, a desired vote for the next race can be made using the payphone 20. Also, watch TV 24
You may vote by telephone while watching. And FIG.
As shown in, the bet for the race is withdrawn from the person's individual account 48a to the side of the race organizer's association 46, and if there is a dividend, the dividend is transferred from the association 46 to the individual account 48a. . The telephone voting system described above is a publicly known system legally permitted in horse racing and the like.

Further, in the case of an individual who does not participate in the telephone voting system, for example, the voting is performed as follows. First, the individual is in the watching room 22 and the reception unit 26
Requesting the receptionist 28 of his / her personal account to join the telephone voting system. After the registration procedure is completed by the receptionist 28, the individual can vote in the same manner as the individual who has subscribed to the telephone voting system. Alternatively, a plurality of spectators 32 are allowed to join the telephone voting system by sharing one representative account 48 held by the reception section 26. Then, in actual voting, telephone voting is performed individually through the receptionist 28. In this case, as can be seen from FIG. 4, an ID is attached to each spectator 32 to distinguish it from each other, and the receptionist 28 issues an ID card 34 representing the ID. Only the member who has the ID card that can enter the spectator room 22 can request the receptionist 28 to vote. The ID card 34 can be provided with a stake prepaid card function.

As described above, in order to vote when a plurality of people use one account (representative account), the reception unit 26
The wager is paid to the receptionist 28 using cash, a prepaid card, an ID card that also serves as a prepaid card, or the like. The stake is paid from the representative account 48 to the association 46. If there is a dividend, the association 46 transfers the dividend to the representative account 48 of the reception unit 26. The payout is paid from the reception unit 26 to the spectator 32 having each ID card 34. The payment is made in cash. Alternatively, the stored contents are updated such that the dividend is added to the balance of the prepaid card. The ID card 34 may be a magnetic card, an IC card, or an optical recording card having a function of storing and rewriting data. As a result, the content of the bet by each spectator, the dividends for the bet, and the like are accurately recorded, and accurate processing is possible.

When the telephone voting system is used, the dividend can be paid as a prize instead of cash. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a system may be used in which prizes are exchanged for cash through a third party organization 50 such as an organization for persons with physical disabilities. That is, to explain by paying attention to the ID card 34 (A) at the right end of FIG. 5, a vote is made based on the ID card 34 (A) (). If it is right, the receiving unit 26 pays the dividend in the form of a prize (). This gift is brought to a third party () and redeemed for cash (). The prize used for the cash exchange is further returned to the reception unit 26 (), and cash is paid to the third party organization 50.

As described above, by giving a prize as a prize, it is possible to replace it with a system in which the prize is purely enjoyed. It is possible to maintain fairness by passing a dividend on and off through a third party. Also, the payout mechanism can be arbitrarily replaced by the operator of this system. Furthermore, these operating methods can be appropriately changed.

Further, the present invention can be made to have a character as an existing betting ticket sales place other than a race place, such as an outside betting ticket sales place. Therefore, the user can freely purchase a betting ticket or the like and receive a dividend. In addition, in order to make the spectator facility of higher quality, it is necessary to make reservations by telephone etc. at the time of use, or to prohibit admission of minors etc. by confirming the identity with a resident's card or a driver's license etc. Moreover, it is possible to tighten the membership. And you can pay a fee to enter the spectator hall. As a result, the problems related to traffic and genre related to the conventional outside betting ticket department can be solved.

As described above, the present invention can be carried out in a department store, a shopping center, a pachinko parlor, various salons, a golf driving range, other entertainment facilities, or a membership club, in addition to a karaoke box. It may be carried out at a facility attached to the etc. or at a single facility unrelated to them. Further, a sauna having a private room type entertainment facility may be operated as a venue, and the operator can be arbitrarily selected. Further, the remote voting means can use any telephone line or communication means, and is not limited to existing facilities. In addition to the terrestrial waves, the screening and receiving devices can be used for satellite broadcasting, optical fiber cables,
Alternatively, other cable broadcasting may be used. Also, the betting process and the like by the broadcasting means and the telephone line may be carried out by bidirectional data communication by one optical fiber cable, and in particular, the video reception, the voting and the betting process are carried out by the personal computer communication in a large capacity. The communication may be performed by bidirectional communication using an optical fiber cable.
