Abstract

The invention relates data processing systems for promoting financial transactions. Said invention makes it possible to reduce time for carrying out financial transactions and to simplify the operations thereof independently of the point of transaction. The inventive method for obtaining said aim consists in introducing cash assets by a client into a stock exchange machine through a bill acceptor or magnetic card reader during a game session, in displaying the sum of cash assets on a screen of the machine, in selecting tools and the value of a minimum change of price by the client with the aid of a keyboard or a touch-screen monitor, in displaying the selected parameters and an actual flow of quotations relating to the tool on the monitor of the machine, in subsequently carrying out a trade transaction by the client, in calculating a cash balance for each new coming quotation by the machine and in displaying said balance on the monitor. In the case when the balance is equal to zero, the machine concludes the game cycle and the game session and, in the opposite case, the client by himself chooses the right time for finishing the game cycle. The game session being closed by the client, the client orders to put out remaining cash assets by means of the keyboard or the touch-screen monitor.

Description

Hardware-software complex (options)

The present invention relates to data processing systems for facilitating financial transactions. In particular, the real

5, a utility model relates to a data processing apparatus and placing bets through controlled sequences of auction events. The proposed system is described in relation to the auction of financial liabilities with fixed income and provides honest and quick implementation of bids io (transactions), as well as the distribution of material compensation as a result of bids.

The invention is the realization of the idea of combining in one solution a gaming machine and a remote terminal for betting on the international currency market. This solution 15 allows you to provide a wide range of customers with a simple and convenient way to conclude transactions in the foreign exchange market, significantly simplifying the scheme of “entering” the market (opening a position) and “exiting” the market (closing a position).

The essence of the invention is precisely the implementation of the machine for 20 exchange transactions according to a simplified scheme. Such a machine belongs to the category of gambling equipment and can be placed in gaming clubs, casinos and club-type recreation areas.

The exchange machine operates in accordance with the principles of the international Forex currency market. To ensure the normal operation of such an automatic machine, it is required to provide real-time translation of quotations of the foreign exchange market for gaming (currency) instruments into this automatic machine and implement an algorithm for calculating profit on transactions made by the client.

As a source of quotes, you can use both well-known news sources - Reuters, Bloomberg, Tepfore, and dealing centers that provide access to Forex trading operations via the Internet.

State of the art As analogues of the invention are self-service systems such as OKS.servis (bibliographic sources are not available) http.7 / www.selfservis.ru / bet) incorporating a software and hardware complex client terminal (Stavkomat) and a central server computer, which receives all the information according to customer bids and where there is a correction of bets on events and rate of opening a bet, as well as receiving an affirmative answer to a request from a remote client terminal on the correctness of the choice of event and bet. One of the features of the analogue and invention is the hardware implementation of the complex, such as a monitor, a computer complex, a device for depositing funds into a game account, a network adapter and a modem for accessing (remote), a device for withdrawing earned (won) funds. In the considered scheme of work carried out by self-service systems http // www.selfservice.ru /, in this case, a kiosk for accepting bets has a number of drawbacks, the main of which is the need for a head office (re-center).

In addition, there is no need to use a single local network, which combines all the remote client terminals.

All of the above factors make it difficult, and for many potential customers make it impossible to participate in the game on the currency exchange. A known automatic machine having a monitor for displaying bets made with an input device such as a touch keyboard or a touch monitor with a keyboard displayed on a monitor screen by means of which customers make bets, banknotes and coin acceptors to set up funds for making bets (RU Ns 2251728, G06F17 / 60, publ. 05/10/2005).

This well-known decision was made as a prototype for the claimed objects. The disadvantage of this solution is that the known device does not provide for settlements at the client’s place of work from terminals in remote access mode during transactions on the exchange. This device provides for regulation of the transaction process, as well as 5 correction of quotations, but not settlement operations performed on the spot. Thus, the well-known device allows you to only participate in the bidding subject to a preliminary replenished account at the bank, but does not make it possible to make a real bet directly at the terminal's location and then does not allow you to get a real settlement from the same terminal.
