Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent counterfeiting, by providing a means for reading a print data and magnetic recording data of a voting ticket, discriminating the correspondence of both the data, and inspecting the correctness of the ticket. CONSTITUTION:Required information and a secret code of a ticket are printed on the front side of the ticket and the same information is recorded at the back side as magnetic data. A ticket 1 is inserted to an insertion inlet 2. The detected output of a sensor 4 is given to a driving section 5, which carries the ticket 1 to the inside by a roller 3. The printed character on the front is read by a character reader 6 and stored in a register 8. On the other hand, a magnetic reading section 7 at the back side of the ticket stores the data in a register 9. A comparison section 10 compares the data in the registers 8 and 9 for the coincidence or correspondence. If not coincident, the ticket is regarded as a false ticket to return the ticket through the driving section 5 with the section 10 or take in the ticket inside. If coincident, either one of reading data is stored in a register 11 for the specified processing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic payout device for winning voting tickets, and particularly relates to an automatic payout device for winning tickets that can prevent fraud.

Conventionally, as a device for paying out winning tickets, a dedicated operator receives the user's ticket and inputs the voting data using a keyboard or a reading device that reads the voting data from a magnetic recording medium installed on the back of the ticket. Devices are known that dispense cash based on a payout amount that is input and displayed on the device.

Furthermore, automated devices have been proposed that automatically refund refunds without requiring a dedicated operator.

However, in these conventionally proposed automated devices, no countermeasures have been taken against counterfeited tickets, and fraud is possible in both cases, so no countermeasures have been taken.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic refund device capable of preventing fraud in order to eliminate these conventional drawbacks. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides means for reading printing data and magnetic recording data of voting tickets. The refund is made when there is a one-to-one correspondence between the two sets of data, and will be described below with reference to an embodiment.The drawing is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is the ticket s2FX insertion slot, 3 is the row 2, 4 is the photo sensor 1, 5 is the drive unit, 6 is the optical reader, 7#i magnetic reader, 8, 9, 11, 15 is the register, 10 welfare comparison department,
12.13 is a table, 14 welfare line department.

16 is a switch section, 17 is a Fi calculation section, 18 is a printer,
19.20 is a bill and coin dispensing unit◇The operation will be explained. On the front of the user line, the venue, date, number of races, amount of money, and a secret code made from each of these information are printed, and on the back side.
- A ticket with the same information printed as a
Insert into insertion slot 2 @This inserted ticket 1t Senna 4
This detection output is given to the drive unit 5,
Drive unit 5#i.

- A character reading unit is provided which reads the characters printed on the surface KH of the ticket 0 ticket 1 which is being conveyed by rotating 23 and inserting the ticket 4 1 #L inside, and takes data * from the ticket and registers it. Store in. On the other hand, the Klk reading part 7 on the back side of the ticket is arranged, and when the read data is stored in the registers 8 and 9, the above-mentioned O voting data is supplied to the register 9 and stored therein. For example, in this case, the printed secret code is compared with the secret code read from the iIk data. Note that this comparison method is not limited to comparing secret codes with each other or other voting data with each other; for example, a secret code read from printed data.

A secret coat is created by combining the magnetically read voting data.

You may also create one for the priest and compare it with the data you created.

If the comparison does not match, it is assumed that the ticket is a counterfeit, and the comparison unit 10 causes the drive unit 5 to return the ticket to the insertion slot or transport it to be taken into the device. stores the read data of one of them in the register 11. On the other hand, data sufficient to specify the corresponding race of the hit series number is stored in the tables 12 and 13 by the 7/2 device not shown in the figure.
The winning set number and its payout rate data are transferred and stored.Table 12 identifies which race the payout rate data stored in table 13 belongs to.11.11 Data is stored and stored in register 11. - Use venue data, date data, same data, and race number data as addresses, and if there is payout rate data for the race, output a part of the storage address of the payout rate data for that group number, 0Wi
- No roaring rate data tL if * This race t
4 and the set number data are supplied to the line section 14.

If table 13 has armpit contact data, table 12 switches the switch 160 input to table 13 even. At this time, table 13 outputs payout rate data that matches the set number data stored in register IIK and the address data output from table 12 to switch 16. If there is no corresponding data in table 13, the line Part 1
4 transfers data sufficient to specify the race and group number data to the center device, and transfers the payout rate data to -11! Transfer it from the printer and set it in register 15.
Switch 16 responds to the output of table 12 to
3 or the register 150 output is transferred to the arithmetic unit 16.

Also table 13. Alternatively, if the register 15 also outputs data indicating that the ticket is a lost ticket, the switch 16 turns on the lamp 16 and causes the drive section 5 to transport the ticket 1 back into the insertion slot.

Operation $ 17 as As mentioned above, the payout rate data given from the switch 16 is multiplied by the amount data set from the register 11, and the payout amount is calculated.O Of the operation results, 9 bills are paid, for example, 1,000 yen bills. The number of coins to be paid out is notified to the banknote payout unit 19, and the coin payout unit is notified of the number of coins to be paid out. At the same time, the read data of the register 11, the calculation result data of the sO calculation, that is, the refund amount data, and the data of the number of banknotes and coins issued by the company are supplied to the printer 18, and these data are printed on the t printing paper. The printer 18 is pressed to either store the paper on which this data has been printed within the device, or provide a mechanism for ejecting it as a receipt and eject it to the user.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the validity of the ticket can be verified by comparing the data printed and magnetically recorded on the ticket, and fraud can be prevented.
