Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a face-to-face reservation / sales system, and more particularly to a face-to-face reservation / sales system suitable for the sale of commodities, such as public gambling tickets, for which purchasers are restricted in age.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the introduction of soccer games as one of public gambling has been controversial. This soccer lottery
In order to foster healthy youth, purchases are prohibited for persons under the age of 19, and shops that sell them are subject to penalties. Accordingly, soccer lottery sales are basically face-to-face sales. If the purchaser of soccer lottery is young (for example, 19 years old), a personal identification document such as a license or insurance card that proves that he is 19 years or older is required. May be requested from a clerk or the like.

On the other hand, there is a plan to sell soccer lottery at a convenience store (convenience store). In this case, the result of the game is predicted and written on a mark sheet or the like, and handed to a convenience store clerk to purchase a soccer lottery ticket (copy). Person receives. The purchaser possesses the soccer lottery ticket, and receives cash at a financial institution or the like when the soccer lottery is won several days later. This is the basis of the face-to-face reservation sales system.

When the face-to-face reservation / sales system is to be performed automatically, for example, an automatic reader reads a mark sheet or the like in which the result of the game is predicted and entered, and a personal identification document such as a license or a health insurance card is read by a scanner or the like. Read it using a confirmation reader to confirm that it is not under 19, and if it is over 19, a convenience store clerk hands a soccer lottery ticket in exchange for the price. A system is conceivable in which the purchaser possesses this soccer lottery ticket and receives cash at a financial institution or the like when the soccer lottery is won several days later.

[0005]

However, the conventional face-to-face sales system has the following problems. The first problem is that identification documents such as licenses and insurance cards may be forged. The second problem is that, for example, a soccer lottery ticket cannot be reserved or purchased without an identification card.

A third problem is that, for example, a convenience store clerk also sells face-to-face sales of general products such as lunch boxes, and cannot be dedicated to selling the soccer lottery. Therefore, it is impossible to respond to purchase applicants who are taking time to take out a license, etc., and it is desired to smoothly confirm that the purchase applicant is not under 19 years old.

An object of the present invention is to provide a face-to-face reservation / sales system capable of smoothly performing reservation / sales of a product such as a public gambling ticket in which a purchaser is restricted in age.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a physical unique information registering means (fingerprint data registering means 51) for registering physical unique information of a purchaser of a product in advance.

Device 10), a determination unit (fingerprint data determination unit 52) for determining whether or not the physical unique information detected by the first physical unique information detection unit has been registered in the physical unique information registration unit. A second physical unique information detecting means (second fingerprint sensor 21) for detecting the physical unique information, wherein the physical unique information detected by the second physical unique information detecting means is the first physical unique information; The body detected by the detection means Checking means (matching checking means 53) for checking whether or not the information matches the target unique information; and managing the predetermined personnel when the determining means determines that the registration has been completed and the checking means has confirmed that they match. And a manned product issuing means (manned confirmation machine 20) for issuing a desired product for purchase.

In addition, the physical unique information registering means and the judging means are installed on the center side, and the first physical unique information detecting means, reservation applying means, confirmation means, and product issuing means are connected to the store side (for example, a convenience store). ), And the center side and the store side are connected via communication means.

The operation of this system will be described with reference to FIG. For example, a purchaser of a soccer lottery certifies in advance to a convenience store clerk that he / she has a purchase qualification (age) for a soccer lottery with a license or the like, and passes physical unique information (fingerprint) along with his / her name and address via the convenience store clerk. It is registered in the physical unique information registration means (fingerprint data registration means 51).

[0011] After registration, the purchaser writes personal information (name, age, etc.) on the mark sheet on which the winning or losing prediction is written, and makes a reservation application means (automatic application machine 1) installed at a convenience store.
0), a mark sheet is inserted, and the fingerprint of the purchaser himself is read by the first physical unique information detecting means (first fingerprint sensor 12). This procedure is a reservation application.

This information (fingerprint) is transmitted to the center 50, and the physical unique information registration means (fingerprint data registration means 5)
1) and the determining means (fingerprint data determining means 52)
It is determined whether or not the fingerprint is a registered fingerprint. If it has not been registered, information indicating that the reservation application is rejected is transmitted to the automatic application machine 10. If you are the person, that is the automatic application machine 1
0 is displayed on the display of No. 0, and the card for which reservation has been applied is printed from the first printer 13 and issued.

The purchaser goes to the product issuing means (manned checker 20) installed at the front of the convenience store, shows the card to the convenience store clerk, and reprints the fingerprint with the second physical unique information detecting means (second fingerprint sensor 21). And sends the fingerprint information to the center 50 together with the card. The confirmation means (coincidence confirmation means 53) confirms whether or not the personal information (fingerprint, date of birth, name, etc.) described on the card matches the second fingerprint, and if they match, it matches with the manned verification machine 20. Send a message to the effect. The coincidence information is displayed on the display of the attended person confirming machine 20, and after confirming the coincidence, the convenience store clerk receives the price from the purchaser and passes the soccer lottery ticket (reservation registered) in exchange. If a soccer lottery wins at a later date, the purchaser receives cash from a financial institution or the like in exchange for the soccer lottery ticket.
