Definitions
- the lotto is a game of chance in which players obtain a game grid of n characters, generally numbers, to which correspond, for example, numbered balls. After having selected on their grid of n numbers an arrangement of p of these numbers, each player validates their selection on a game terminal.
- n objects taken p to p without repetition, any sequence of these p objects arbitrarily distinct choose from these n objects.
- a series of objects is a collection of objects arranged in a specific order. Then, at a drawing center, where there is a container containing the balls, while mixing them, we randomly extract p to constitute a winning arrangement.
- the invention relates first of all to a method of operating a random drawing game of a universal sequence of p distinct characters from a set of n characters, in which players enter personal sequences of p distinct characters that are collected and stored and the universal series is drawn by p successive elementary prints, each of a first and a single character, from among respectively p sets each formed at the origin of the n characters but from which the characters drawn in all previous elementary draws have been eliminated.
- the object for which protection is sought relates essentially to the steps of communication at each elementary drawing center of the characters drawn at the other drawing centers as well as the steps of eliminating the characters previously drawn.
- the players enter their personal sequences of characters in places offset in space.
- the invention also relates to a method of operating a random drawing game of a universal sequence of p distinct characters from a set of n characters, in which players enter personal sequences of p distinct characters which are collected and that we store and we proceed to the drawing of the universal suite by p successive elementary prints, each of a single character among a set originally made up of n characters but from which the characters drawn from all previous elementary prints have been eliminated , the draws being carried out in the same place but at different times corresponding to predetermined local hours of p different localities distributed on the surface of the earth, the result of each draw being communicated in real time to the corresponding locality.
- the invention also relates to an operating system for implementing the method of the invention, comprising
- the input means can include consoles connected to the operational center by a computer network.
- They may also be telephone terminals or computer terminals connected to a call center of the operational control center.
- the character elimination control means can be arranged to eliminate the characters in real time as they are drawn. However, they can also be arranged so that, before each draw, globally and in deferred time, all the characters previously drawn are eliminated. -
- the means for controlling the elimination of characters can be centralized at the operational control center; they can also include, at each drawing center, means for receiving the characters drawn at the other drawing centers, to be eliminated locally, and for sending the character drawn locally to the other drawing centers.
- the operating system must also include programmable timing means and data transmission means from the draw place to the localities.
- FIG. 1 represents the field of application of the method of the invention
- FIG. 2 illustrates the general method of operating the draw game according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows the block diagram of the system according to the invention.
- the national lotto games give rise to a national random draw K of a series of p characters ⁇ ei ⁇ k collected and stored, i being an integer taking its values from the set ⁇ 1, ..., p ⁇ , characters from the set En and according to the invention with the drawing of an additional character ek also collected and stored, coming from this same set En, modified to form an additional series ⁇ ek ⁇ , called universal, in means of storage, k taking its integer values in the set ⁇ 1, ..., p ⁇ .
- H (L ') H (L) - DH (L *, L) (1)
- H (LO) can serve as a reference to determine all the time differences of N localities between them across the world without calling on more than N data of the DH (L, LO) type since:
- DH (L ', L) DH (L', LO) - DH (L, LO) (2)
- Figure 1 shows, on the contrary, the two fundamental differences between the universal random draw of the invention and the national random draw: the duration of the draw can be 24 hours and the draw is geographically divided.
- the method comprises the following steps.
- a first preliminary step 1 the day D-X, D being the day of the universal drawing, X being determined in advance to organize the universal drawing, the p countries are designated from among the candidate countries, for example drawn by lot.
- LTT H (L1 ) of the first draw
- HAR Lk
- H (Lp) H (Lp) of the last draw.
- step 1 in its most complete version, the process includes taking into account the local draw schedules organized by the designated countries.
- these local draw times are noted HT (Lk), Lk designating the location of the draw K, here the longitude of the place.
- a second step 2 the collection of all of the game takes ⁇ Si ⁇ k and ⁇ Sk ⁇ on the sequences ⁇ ei) is carried out until the hour HLP on day D ⁇ k and ⁇ ek ⁇ , performed by players from all countries, participating or not, until the D-date and the deadline here for ⁇ ek ⁇ , HLP.
- These data, and possibly others, including player identification data, are stored.
- a third step 3 the national draws ⁇ ei ⁇ k and the universal draws ⁇ ek ⁇ are carried out, successively from the first country to the third country in the ordinary manner of a lotto draw for each national draw, c 'is to say among a set En of characters, and so as to draw only one character ek, in the designated countries, among a set E (n-k + i) of characters, different from the set En by the fact that E ( n- k + i) is obtained from En by eliminating the characters & ⁇ , ... Q k - drawn previously .
- a last step 4 we collect the sequence ⁇ ek ⁇ , the references associated with the sequences Sk equal to the sequence ⁇ ek ⁇ , we calculate the share according to the prize to be distributed and the number of winnings and we transmit the sequence winner and the share in the national draw to credit the winners, for example in the ordinary way used by the national draw organizations.
- the system comprises an operational control center 100 linked to national centers 10 of random drawing.
- the operational control center 100 is essentially composed of control means 105 to control the universal print, in particular to control the elimination, in the sets En, of the characters ek already drawn.
- connection 101 satellite radio or other with the means 16.
- This connection could as well be carried out by ordinary telephone cable or borrow a network dedicated IT, or the Internet, in a protected connection.
- the national game centers 10 in addition to their ordinary gaming facilities, their means of input 19 of the game sockets and of collection 18 of the character streaks and their means 20 of random drawing, comprise a microprocessor 17 for processing to control the various means input and print and to process requests from the operational control center 100, storage means 12 and communication interface means 16 for communicating with the operational center.
- the national centers 10 furthermore comprise means 13 for managing the games, for checking the temporal validity and location of the games entered and for searching for the list of winning games stored in the storage means 12 once the draw has ended, means for dissemination 14 of draw results for example on the Internet and means 15 for controlling the universal draw to order the withdrawal as a whole of the characters ek already drawn.
- the input means 19 can also, for example, consist of websites accessible to players. Said websites can also be accessed by mobile phone, the place and time of game taking being authenticated by the mobile telephone network to which the telephone is attached, and the identification of the player being provided by the number of his line. and its references recorded by the operator of the mobile telephone network.
- the means of collection 18 of the character streaks can be the ordinary national means of random drawing and entering the prints made for their current distribution. However, they can also be composed of optical means for automatically capturing the draws carried out, for example by optical reading of bar codes affixed judiciously on the random draw means.
- the operational control center 100 fully performs step 1 of the method described above.
- HLP (LO) HT (Ll) + DH (Ll, LO) (3)
- HAR (LO) HT (Lp) + DH (Lp, LO) ⁇
- the national centers 10 of the p designated countries are requested, by the link 101 and the intermediary of the interface means 106 and 16, to organize for the hour HT (Lk) of the day D the drawing of the character ek .
- the HLP (LO) and HAR (LO) parameters are transmitted to the national centers 10. Consequently, and until the hour HLP (Lk), calculated from HLP (LO) according to the formula (1), by the means 15 for controlling the print, the national centers carry out step 2 of the process ci above described.
- the microprocessor 17 activates the input means 19 for the game sockets, recovers the set ⁇ Sk ⁇ of the Sk suites offered by the players using these means for storing them, with the players' references, in the means of storage 12, after validity check, carried out by the management means 13, of the date and time of the game taking relative to the time HLP (Lk).
- the control means 105 emit a message of agreement to draw a character ek by the national center 10 of location Lk, message also comprising the elements el ... e (kl) previously drawn.
- This message is transmitted via the means 106, 101, 16 to the control means 15, which proceed to the elimination of the elements transmitted in the assembly En exploited by the means 20 for random drawing then trigger the drawing of ek.
- the character ek obtained is then collected by the means 18 for collecting sequences of characters, transmitted to the microprocessor 17 and then by the link 101, to the control means 105 which store it in the storage means 102 to be able send the message agreeing to draw the next character e (k + l), and to reconstruct, when the p draws have been made, the winning string of characters ⁇ ek ⁇ .
- the winning sequence is communicated to all the national centers 10, which, by their means 19 of validity control, establish the list of winners, count them and transmit them with the number of players to the operational center which establishes, by its means of calculation. 104 the share to be redistributed and returns the result to centers 10 for redistribution.
- HTk (LC) HT (Lk) - DH (LC, Lk)
- the national centers can be completely separate from the operational center, on condition that the latter center is equipped with means for capturing game holdings, for example a computer messaging server connected to a computer network of the Internet type or a center call connected to a mobile phone network, in which case the server or the call center have the means of authenticating the places and times of taking the game and checking their validity, like the means 13 of the national centers.
- means for capturing game holdings for example a computer messaging server connected to a computer network of the Internet type or a center call connected to a mobile phone network, in which case the server or the call center have the means of authenticating the places and times of taking the game and checking their validity, like the means 13 of the national centers.
