Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for receiving sports voting data from a user terminal via a network, appropriately correcting the voting data based on a user's instruction, and managing the sports voting data. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a sports promotion lottery voting system and a method for transmitting the same to a server.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Among the games held by the J-League in soccer, the buyer has three types of results (designated "win,""draw," and "losing" of the home team) for each of the specified 13 games. 1st prize (in all games), 2nd prize (1 game off), 3rd prize (2 games off)
Refund the refund for the voting ticket corresponding to,
The sports promotion lottery "toto" has begun. One method of selling voting tickets for sports promotion lottery is that a salesperson receives a voting application form in the form of a mark sheet in which the user has marked the contents of voting, and the salesperson reads the voting application form on a dedicated terminal or a multimedia terminal. Then, it is executed by issuing a voting ticket from there and handing it to the user in exchange for the purchase price.

[0003] There are two types of voting application forms, "single" and "multi," depending on how the game results are selected. The “single” voting application form is for selecting and purchasing any one of “win”, “draw”, and “loss” (single) of the home team for each of the 13 games. On the other hand, the “multi” ballot application form refers to the home team's “win”, “draw” and “loss” for each of the 13 games, not just one but two (double) or three (triple) ) Can be selected and purchased. Thereby,
Up to 96 units (9600 yen) per current ballot sheet
You can buy up to. Figure 2 shows the "multi"
This is an example of voting. In the first and second games, "triple" is selected, in the third and fourth games, "double" is selected, and in the fifth to thirteenth games, "single" is selected.

[0004]

However, in the above procedure, the user needs to take the trouble of bringing the voting application form to the sales office where the dedicated terminal or the multimedia terminal is located. In addition, if a user who intends to apply for a vote does not have knowledge of the J-League, it cannot make an appropriate prediction, and it is difficult to purchase a desired lottery.

In the case of purchasing a voting ticket in the "multi", if the number of games in which a double is selected is m and the number of games in which a triple is selected is n, the number of purchased units is 2 ^m × 3.
^{The number of} units and the purchase price are 2 ^m × 3 ⁿ × 100 yen. When the user increases the number of double or triple selections, the purchase volume and purchase price increase stepwise and exponentially. Therefore, even if the user has determined the purchase budget, there is an inconvenience that it is very difficult to purchase a voting ticket according to the purchase budget. For example, in a multi-voting in which two doubles and three triples are selected, the number of purchased units is 2 ² × 3 ³ = 1
08 units, the purchase price is 10800 yen. In the case where the purchase budget is 10,000 yen, that is, for 100 units, in order to reduce 108 units to 100 units, the user expands the multi-voting application into the corresponding 108 single-voting application, and After reducing from eight to eight, all of the remaining 100 must be marked on the single ballot application, which is a tremendous amount of time. In addition, various methods can be considered to appropriately select the eight ports to be reduced. However, it takes a great deal of time to manually select the single vote to be reduced as desired.

The present invention has been made based on the above background, and receives data on voting for a sports promotion lottery from a user terminal via a network, and based on the data on the voting based on a user's instruction.

Receives voting data from the management server 2 and receives voting based on the voting data. The headquarters server 4 accumulates data related to individual voting and, after the match result is determined, prepares basic data for determining a winning player and a winning refund.
The sports promotion lottery operator collects data on the results of a game related to a certain voting, and decides the first prize winner, the second prize winner, the third prize winner, and the payout refund based on the data. Headquarters server 4
Can perform some of these processes.

The user terminal 5 is an information terminal having a function of communicating via a network. The user terminal 5
In FIG. 1, a representative image of a personal computer is representatively shown.
Various information terminals that can be connected to the network, such as DAs, game machines, mobile phones, and television receivers or video recorders that can be connected to the Internet, are included. The user terminal 5 has input / output means, storage means (hard disk drive, ROM, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, etc.), program execution means (CPU, RAM, etc.), and network connection means (dial-up IP connection means, etc.). are doing. User terminal 5 by input / output means
Of the user and the output of the result. An application for executing various means or steps relating to voting is loaded from the storage means storing the application to the program execution means and executed (if the storage means is a ROM, there is no need to load the application. A work area is secured in RAM). The application is preferably a WWW browser. The user terminal 5 is connected to the management server 2 via the Internet via a WWW server of a provider connected by network connection means so as to be able to transmit information. The user uses the user terminal 5 to select W
The user accesses a Web page provided by the management server 2 functioning as a WW server, through which various operations related to voting are input and results are output. When the user terminal 5 and the management server 2 are connected via a network other than the Internet, the application is not a WWW browser but a dedicated application.

The terms used for the soccer sports promotion lottery will be described below. The “match result type” is a result type of a certain match result, and is one of “win”, “draw”, and “loss” of the home team. "Voting" is a method of selecting the expected result (match result type) of each of the designated 13 games based on the form of the "multi" or "single" voting application form and voting ticket based on the selected result. Is to apply for the purchase. For “voting”, “voting condition data” is input from the user terminal 5 to create a “voting pattern”, and a purchase of a voting ticket is applied. This includes applying for a ticket purchase.
The “voting pattern” is a set applied in one voting for a combination of match result types for each of the 13 games, and distinguishes between a “multi-voting pattern” and a “single voting pattern” described later. It shows the substance of the substantive voting without. "Single voting pattern"
Is a voting pattern applied in the form of a "single" voting application form. For each of the 13 games, the home team "wins", "draws", "loses"
Voting pattern in which any one (single) match result type is selected. The "multi-voting pattern" is a voting pattern applied in the form of a "multi-voting" ballot application form. For at least one of the 13 games, the home team "wins",
2 (double) or 3 out of “Draw” and “Loss”
It is a pattern that selects street (triple). The “multi-voting pattern” can be developed into a “single voting pattern” having the same voting content (ie, the same “voting pattern”). in this case,
Assuming that the number of games for which double is selected and the number of games for which triples are selected are m in the "multi-voting pattern" to be developed, the number of "single voting patterns" to be developed is 2 ^m × 3 It becomes ⁿ . "Number" is one "voting"
Means the number of "single voting patterns" (in the case of "multiple voting patterns", it is developed by "single voting patterns"). The “purchase amount desired” is the amount of the voting ticket that the user wants to purchase, and the “purchase amount” is the “volume” of the voting ticket actually purchased after the number of the voting ticket is adjusted. It is the one that costs 100 yen. The “voting data” is electronic data representing the “voting pattern” for performing “voting” of a certain “voting pattern”, and the “voting” is executed by transmitting this to the headquarters server. The “voting condition data” is data input to the user terminal 5 in order to generate a “voting pattern” for voting (the “purchase desired amount” is not included). The “voting condition data” includes “automatic method”, “variety method”, “my choice method” and “mark sheet method”, which will be described later, and further includes condition data input from the user terminal 5 in those methods. The “voting condition data” also includes an input pattern when a “single voting pattern” or a “multiple voting pattern” is directly input to the user terminal 5 in the “mark sheet method”.

The operation of the sports promotion lottery voting system 1 will now be described. The operation is divided into the following four embodiments depending on the variation of the generation of the voting pattern. The first embodiment is an “automatic system” in which a computer automatically generates a voting pattern under a predetermined condition and adjusts the number of voting patterns so as to correspond to a desired purchase amount. Generates a voting pattern from the expected results provided by the selected expected providing means by selecting one expected providing means from among the one or more expected providing means, and It is a "variety method" in which adjustment is made so as to correspond to the desired purchase amount.
By inputting a weight for each of the one or more prediction conditions, a voting pattern is generated by adding the weight of the prediction condition to the prediction basic information based on each prediction condition,
In the fourth embodiment, the voting pattern is input via an image of a mark sheet imitating a "single" or "multi" voting application form. Is a “mark sheet method” in which the number of the voting patterns is adjusted.

In the following description, data transmission / reception between the user terminal 5 and the management server 2 is generally performed by the following operation. First, on a WWW browser running on the user terminal 5, the address (URL, http: // host computer name) of a Web page of a Web site that provides the function according to the present invention (hereinafter, simply referred to as “Web site”) / File name) is specified by the user, the WWW browser operates the WWW server of the host computer name of the address (the management server 2 in this case).
Then, a request to transfer the HTML document file of the file stored with the file name of the address is transmitted to the Internet through the network connection means.
The request is transferred on the Internet and received by the management server 2 having the host computer name of the address via the network connection means. In response to the request, the management server 2 transmits an HTML document file representing a Web page stored under the file name of the address to the user terminal 5 via the network connection means. The HTML document file is transferred on the Internet and received by the user terminal 5 through the network connection means. The WWW browser converts the received HTML document file into an HTML document.
Output (display) in the output format specified in.

The HTML document file has not only text and image information displayed on the screen, but also hyperlink information (address) associated with the text and image. When the user specifies the position of the hyperlink portion of the HTML document displayed on the user terminal 5 and selects it, W
The WW browser similarly transmits a request for transfer of the HTML document file stored at the address associated therewith to the Internet through the network connection means. The request is transferred on the Internet and received by the WWW server (the management server 2) having the host computer name of the address via the network connection means. In response to the request, the management server 2 transmits an HTML document file, which is stored under the file name of the address and indicates the Web page associated with the hyperlink, to the user terminal 5 to the Internet through the network connection unit. The HTML document file is transferred on the Internet and received by the user terminal 5 through the network connection means. The WWW browser outputs (displays) the received HTML document file in an output format specified by HTML. In this way, the user can successively display web pages linked by hyperlinks by selecting the hyperlink portion of the web page displayed on the WWW browser of the user terminal 5. In a Web page in which the user needs to input conditions, select options, and the like, an HTML document representing the page has a description of a form for displaying a text field and a check box. The received WWW browser displays an input form, a check box, and the like, and can accept an input or selection from the user.

As described above, the user can use the W
Based on the HTML document displayed on the WW browser, by performing operations for voting, such as selecting a hyperlink, inputting an input form, selecting a check box, etc., the operation is transmitted to the management server 2, The result can be obtained. The information flow described above is based on the WWW
In the following description, the description of the information flow as described above is omitted because it is common to the operation using the browser, and the operation on the screen displayed on the WWW browser of the user terminal 5 and the operation on the screen are exclusively performed. The explanation focuses on.

First, the Web site Web
When the address of page b (homepage) is entered,
Although not shown, the user terminal 5 receives a “site top” screen, which is the top home page of the Web site, from the management server 2 and displays it. When a user ID and password are entered from this site top screen,
Authentication is performed by the management server 2. If the authentication is successful, the user terminal 5 receives the “member main menu” screen shown in FIG. 3 from the management server 2 and displays it (step S101). On the “Member Main Menu” screen, a menu for selecting an operation related to voting, which is composed of “1. Voting”, “2. Result confirmation”, “3. Information reference” and “4. You.

When "1. Voting" is selected from the "member main menu" screen on the user terminal 5, the user terminal 5
The “voting menu” screen shown in FIG. 4 is received from the management server 2 and displayed (step S201). On the “voting menu” screen, a voting method including “1. automatic”, “2. variety”, “3. my choice”, and “4. A menu for selecting an operation related to the type is displayed.

Hereinafter, the first to fourth embodiments will be sequentially described. In the first embodiment, there is an "automatic method" in which a computer automatically generates a voting pattern under predetermined conditions and adjusts the number of voting patterns so as to correspond to the desired purchase amount. In this embodiment, among the components of the sports promotion lottery voting system 1 shown in FIG. 1, a management server 2, a data management means 3, a match record data file 3-1, a headquarters server 4, and a user terminal 5
is necessary. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the operation flow of FIG.

In the screen shown in step S201, "1.
When “automatic” is selected, the user terminal 5
The “automatic” screen is received from the management server 2 and displayed (step S211). On the screen, “the past one year's match record” is displayed as a condition for the management server 2 to automatically calculate the voting pattern, and “3000 yen” is displayed as the “purchase amount (purchase amount)” of the user. ing. In addition, these "competition results in the past year"
The registration information of "3000 yen" can be changed from "Past one year competition record" to "Past two year competition record" on the registration information correction screen shown in step S502 of FIG. Next, the management server 2 automatically generates a voting pattern based on the information of the battle result data file 3-1 as follows. The competition result data file 3-1 stores, for a combination of the respective teams, data on the competition results, that is, the number of the respective game result types within a predetermined period in the past. That is, for example, in the case where team A is the home team, for the past one year, for the game between team A and team B, two home wins, two draws, four home losses,
For the match between Team C and Team D, four home wins,
For a match of 0 draws, 4 home losses, and E team vs. F teams, data such as 3 home wins, 3 draws, and 2 home losses are included. here,
The management server 2 acquires match result data from the match result data file 3-1. The management server 2 determines whether the game result occupies the “specific ratio” or more or has the highest rate of the game within a predetermined period in the past for the combination game of the specific team included in the data, in this case, within one year. Is created for the match result of the combination of the specific team. For example, for a combination of voting teams,
It is assumed that team A vs. team B, team C vs. team D, and team E vs. team F are included. From the match record data,
The percentage of each game result type is as follows: home team 25% (twice), draw 25% (2
Times), home loss 50% (4 times), team C vs team D matches, home win 50% (4 times), draw 0% (0 times), home loss 50% (4 times), E team vs. Home win 37.5% (3
Times), draw 37.5% (three times), home loss 25%
(Twice). The management server 2 extracts, as the voting pattern, the match result type that occupies the “specific ratio” or more or has the highest ratio. For example, "specific ratio" is 40%
If so, the management server 2 selects “single” of “home loss” having a ratio of 50% for the team A to team B, and selects “single” for the team C to team D having a ratio of 50% for the team C: D. The selection of “double” between “home win” and “home loss” having a ratio of 50% is extracted as a part of the voting pattern. Also, E team vs. F
For teams, there is no match result type with a ratio of 40% or more, so the highest match result type is “Home win” having a ratio of 37.5% and “drawing” having a ratio of 37.5%. Is selected as part of the voting pattern. Preferably, the "specific percentage" is decreased so that the selection increases as the purchase amount increases, and conversely, the selection ratio decreases so as to decrease as the purchase amount decreases. At this time, the “specific ratio” is determined so that the number of votes in the voting pattern is equal to or greater than the number corresponding to the purchase price. Further, the “specific ratio” can be changed by a user setting.
In this case, the “specific ratio” may be input and registered in advance as a “condition” displayed on a “voting information correction” screen shown in step S502 described later. In this way, the management server 2 generates the voting pattern by extracting the match result type for each of the combinations of the teams regarding the voting.

Next, when the number of voting patterns exceeds the number corresponding to the purchase price, the management server 2 adjusts the number to correspond to the purchase price by the following “random method”. Voting pattern is "triple"
2 choices, 2 "double" choices, "single"
Assuming that there are 9 selections and 36 units, the purchase price 3
In order to correspond to 000 yen, it is necessary to reduce the number of 6 to 30. The management server 2 sets the voting pattern
Expand into 36 single voting patterns with the same voting pattern. The management server 2 randomly selects six out of the 36 single voting patterns on the basis of random number generating means such as a random number table and a random number generating function, deletes them, and converts them into 30 voting patterns. adjust.

The user terminal 5 receives from the management server 2 a "voting confirmation" screen displaying the adjusted 30 single voting patterns, and displays it (step S21).
2). On the "vote confirmation" screen, the contents of the vote are displayed in the form of a mark sheet image, and the user can confirm the vote pattern actually voted there. On the “vote confirmation” screen, a “Yes” button and a “No” button are displayed, and the user confirms the content of the vote,
If so, select the "Yes" button. If you want to modify the voting pattern, select the "No" button and you can do so through the mark sheet image.
When the “Yes” button is selected, the management server 2 creates “voting data”, which is electronic data representing the adjusted voting content, and transmits the voting data via the network to the headquarters server 4 to receive the voting. Send to Headquarters server 4
Accepts "voting data" and, based on it,
Tally. The headquarters server 4 applies the application No. to the “voting”. And sends it to the management server 2. The user terminal 5 receives the application No. Is received from the management server 2 and displayed. The “voting completed” screen displays the “Application N
o. Is displayed. The user later submits the application N
o. At the voting ticket sales counter and paying the purchase price of the voting ticket to purchase the voting ticket. On the “voting completed” screen, an “end” button and a “main” button are displayed. When the "end" button is selected, the user terminal 5 displays the top home page of the Web site. When the "main" button is selected, the user terminal 5 displays the "member main" shown in step S101 of FIG. Display the “Menu” screen.

The above description is an example in which the purchase amount of the voting ticket is paid at the voting ticket sales counter capable of face-to-face sales, but the settlement of the purchased voting ticket is also performed on the user terminal 5 as follows. It is also possible to do with. In this case, the user terminal 5 displays a "purchase ticket purchase" screen (not shown) instead of the "vote completion" screen. The “voting ticket purchase” screen is a screen for settlement of the purchase amount of the voting ticket. Payment methods include debiting from a registered bank account,
There are credit card payments, debit card payments, etc. When one of them is selected on the “Purchase ticket purchase” screen (enter a PIN if necessary), the management server 2 acquires a request for payment by the selected payment method. And sends it to the headquarters server 4. The headquarters server 4 executes a settlement procedure in accordance with the settlement request. That is, if it is a debit from a bank account, a request for debit of the purchase amount is transmitted to the host computer of the bank. In the case of credit card settlement, the fact that a voting ticket for the purchase price has been purchased is transmitted to the host computer of the credit card company. In the case of debit card payment, a request for debit payment for the purchase price is transmitted to the host computer of the bank. With these, the settlement of the voting ticket is completed, and the headquarters server 4 treats the voting ticket as having been officially purchased.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, a voting pattern is generated from the prediction result provided by the selected prediction providing means by selecting one prediction providing means from one or more prediction providing means, and "Variety method" that adjusts the number of voting patterns to correspond to the purchase price
It is. In this embodiment, the management server 2, the data management means 3, the expected result data file 3-2, the head office server 4, and the user terminal 5 are required among the components of the sports promotion lottery voting system 1 shown in FIG. . Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the operation flow of FIG.

In the screen shown in step S201, "2.
When "variety" is selected, the user terminal 5 receives the "variety" screen from the management server 2 and displays it (step S221). On the screen, there are `` soccer experts and solid courses '' that provide predictions by soccer experts who make solid predictions, There are displayed options for prediction providing means, such as "Biological Rhythm Prediction Course" that provides biorhythm prediction, and horoscope prediction "Horoscope Forecast Course", and a "purchase amount" input field from the user. You. When the “voting” button on the screen is selected after the expected provision means is selected and the purchase amount is input through the screen of the user terminal 5, the selection of the expected provision means and the input purchase amount are stored in the management server 2. Sent to. The forecast result data file 3-2 is provided with the respective forecast providing means such as the above-mentioned "soccer expert / steady course", "soccer expert / large hole course", "expected course in biorhythm", "expected course in horoscope" and the like. Is stored in advance by an operation from the administrator of the management server 2. There are various possible expression formats of those prediction results stored in the prediction result data file 3-2. 1
One form of expression was to select specific match outcomes in a match for a particular team combination, one after the other, one by one in response to the increase in the number of words, in the order of the probability of being predicted. , A plurality of multi-voting patterns (including one single voting pattern) are conceivable. In this case, the management server 2 selects one of the plurality of multi-voting patterns by the selected prediction providing means that is equal to or more than the number corresponding to the input purchase amount and is the number closest to the number. Select as voting pattern. Another form of expression is:
An expression in which a numerical value indicating the degree of the possibility of the result being assigned to each match result type of the match of each team can be considered. In this case, the management server 2 appropriately sets “border” and extracts a match result type having a numerical value equal to or greater than the “border” or a match result type having the highest numerical value for a certain match as a voting pattern. Preferably, the higher the purchase amount, the "border"
Is increased so that the selection increases accordingly, and conversely, as the purchase price decreases, the selection decreases accordingly. At this time, the “border” is determined so that the number of votes in the voting pattern is equal to or greater than the number corresponding to the purchase price. As another expression form, an expression in which a numerical value indicating a degree of possibility of winning a game is assigned to each team can be considered. In this case, the management server 2 sets “specific width”
Is set appropriately, and for each combination of teams involved in the voting, the figures of both teams are compared, and if the difference between the figures is greater than the “specified width”, the larger number wins, The smaller one loses,
If the difference between the numbers is less than or equal to the "specified width", a voting pattern is generated by logic such as a draw, a double selection consisting of winning and drawing of the team with the highest number, or a triple selection. I do. Preferably, the "specific width" is increased so that the selection increases as the purchase amount increases, and conversely, decreases as the selection amount decreases as the purchase amount decreases.

Next, when the number of votes in the voting pattern exceeds the number corresponding to the purchase price, the management server 2 converts the number into the purchase price by the “random method” as described in the first embodiment. Adjust accordingly. next,
The user terminal 5 displays the “voting confirmation” screen (step S
212) and display of a “voting completed” screen (step S21)
3) is performed, and these operations are the same as those in the first embodiment. In addition, the user terminal 5 can display a “voting ticket purchase” screen instead of the “voting completed” screen (step S213), similarly to the first embodiment.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, by inputting a weight for each of one or more prediction conditions, a voting pattern is generated by adding the weight of each prediction condition to prediction basic information based on each prediction condition, This is a “My Choice method” that adjusts the number of voting patterns. In this embodiment, among the components of the sports promotion lottery voting system 1 shown in FIG. 1, the management server 2, the data management means 3, the expected basic information data file 3-3, the reduce pattern table 3-4, the head office server 4 , A user terminal 5 is required. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the operation flow of FIG.

In the screen shown in step S201, "3.
When "My Choice" is selected, the user terminal 5
The “My Choice” screen is received from the management server 2 and displayed (step S231). The screen displays an input field for selecting expected conditions, an input field for a purchase price, and options for a number adjustment method. As the expected conditions, for example, “period”, “weather”, “home”, “away” and the like as items relating to “past battle information (team competition results)” and “total strength” as an item relating to the current “team power” (Team strength evaluation), "current ranking (team current ranking)" and other conditions are displayed. The “period” indicates how many years in the past the battle result data used as the basis of the prediction is data. “Weather” is past battle result information in the case of rainy weather other than fine weather, and “Home”
Is the past match result information when the team played a match on the home ground, and "Away" is the past match result information when the team played a match on the away ground. By making predictions in consideration of the past battle results of these conditions, it is possible to make detailed predictions. In addition, for example, `` weather '' is subdivided into `` fine weather '' and `` rainy weather '', or a specific `` participating player '' is set as a condition, and the result of the match for the game in which the `` participating player '' participated It can also be a basis for judgment. The “total strength” is an evaluation index obtained by quantifying the strength of the current team, for example, considering the strength evaluation value of a player belonging to the team and summing it up for the team, and the “current ranking” is, for example, , Are evaluation indices to which higher numerical values are assigned in order of higher current rank. By making predictions in consideration of the current potential of the team from these viewpoints, more detailed predictions can be made. Through the screen of the user terminal 5, for the "period", the input of the past "how many years" can be input.
When the "voting" button on the screen is selected after "%" of the respective weights are input for the "current ranking" and the number adjustment method described later in detail is selected, each of the input values is input. The condition weight and the selection of the number adjustment method are transmitted to the management server 2. When the “period” is input, the management server 2 performs the following processing on “past battle information” such as “weather”, “home”, and “away” based only on information within the “period”. Execute The expected basic information data file 3-3 stores, for each expected condition, expected basic information for estimating a result of a match under each expected condition. The expression format of the predicted basic information stored in the predicted basic information data file 3-3 can be variously considered. One expression form for “past match information” such as “period”, “weather”, “home”, “away”, etc. is, for each condition, for each match of the match of each team combination An expression in which a numerical value indicating the degree of possibility that the result is the match result type for each result type may be assigned. In this case, the management server 2 multiplies the numerical value obtained by multiplying the numerical value of the possibility of each match result type and the weight for the condition for the match of each team combination regarding voting for a certain condition. , Sum for all conditions to determine the total result. "Total strength",
As one expression form for “team power” such as “current ranking”, an expression in which numerical values representing “total strength”, “current ranking”, etc. for each team for each condition can be considered. In this case, the management server 2 sums up the numerical value obtained by multiplying the numerical value for each team with respect to a certain condition by the weight for that condition for all the conditions, and calculates the total result for each team. Ask.

Next, the management server 2 calculates prediction information taking all conditions into consideration from the total result regarding “past battle information” and the total result regarding “team power”. As one of the calculation methods, the “team” of the team constituting the combination is added to the total result of each match result type of the match of each team related to the voting regarding “past battle information”. There is a method of calculating the total result relating to “power” by multiplying or adding the match result type of the team that wins. Management server 2
Sets a "border" as appropriate, and extracts as a voting pattern a match result type whose predicted information is higher than the "border" or a match result type having the highest total result for a certain match. Preferably, the "border" is lowered so that the selection increases as the purchase price increases, and conversely, the selection decreases as the purchase price decreases. At this time, the “border” is determined so that the number of votes in the voting pattern is equal to or greater than the number corresponding to the purchase price.

Next, if the number of units of the selected voting pattern exceeds the number corresponding to the purchase price, the management server 2 purchases the unit by the selection from the user terminal 5 by one of the following methods. Adjust to correspond to the amount. On the “My Choice” screen, options of the number adjustment method (number adjustment method) are displayed, and the management server 2 receives an input of the selection through the user terminal 5. Examples of the number adjustment method include “manual”, “order designation”, “condition”, “reduce”, “random”, and “combination”. less than,
The operation when each of the number adjustment methods is selected will be described.

First, the operation when "manual" is selected as the number adjustment method will be described. "Manual" means that the user specifies the voting pattern to be deleted from the user terminal 5 at his / her own discretion, and the management server 2 deletes the specified voting pattern based on the voting pattern. This is how to create a pattern. When “manual” is selected, a “manual adjustment” screen is displayed (not shown). The voting pattern is displayed on the screen in the form of a multi-voting pattern. To manually reduce the volume,
There are two methods: a method of removing the mark of the selection of the match result type to reduce the number of words while keeping the multi-voting pattern, and a method of developing a single voting pattern and deleting the single voting pattern. In order to reduce the number of words in the multi-voting pattern, when the position of the mark portion of the match result type to be deselected is designated from the multi-voting pattern displayed on the screen of the user terminal 5, it is transmitted from the user terminal 5 to the management server 2. The management server 2 creates the multi-voting pattern which is transmitted and deselects the designated mark portion. In the example of FIG. 5, a multi-voting pattern of 108 mouths is expanded on the left side, and a single voting pattern is expanded on the right side.
Shown is a table of 108 single voting patterns. In the figure,
"Winning home" is represented by "1", "drawing" is represented by "x", and "losing home" is represented by "2" (the same applies to FIGS. 6 to 11 described later). The table on the right shows only the first to fifth games that are actually developed. When the mark of “1” indicating the home win in the fifth game is removed, the voting pattern corresponding to the single voting pattern in the shaded portion in the table on the right side of the drawing is deleted. This gives 1
08 units are reduced to two thirds 74 units. In general, unmarking one selection from a match result of a game with a “triple” selection will reduce the number of matches to two-thirds, and one from the match result type of a match with a “double” selection. Unmarking one of the choices reduces the mouth count by a factor of two. The method of reducing the number of voices manually in this multi-voting pattern is that there is no need to look at many developed single voting patterns one by one, and by selecting a mark to be removed once from a simple multi-voting pattern display, Although there is an advantage that a large number of mouths can be reduced, on the other hand, there is an inconvenience that the number of mouths is reduced stepwise and exponentially and often cannot be matched with a desired number of mouths.

In order to delete a single voting pattern by “manual”, a “single development” button displayed on the screen of the user terminal 5 is selected, though not shown.
This selection operation is transmitted to the management server 2 and the management server 2
Expands the voting pattern into a set of single voting patterns. The example of FIG. 6 shows a multi-voting pattern of 108
This is developed into 108 single voting patterns. In the multi-voting pattern on the left side of FIG.
And "double" selection for the second and third games, third, fourth and fifth
The choice of "triple" has been made for the match. The multi-voting pattern is expanded to 108 single voting patterns shown in the table on the right. The table on the right shows only the first to fifth games that are actually developed.
The developed single voting pattern is transmitted from the management server 2 to the user terminal 5, and the user terminal 5 displays it. When the number of single voting patterns to be displayed is large, the user terminal 5 can display the single voting patterns on several pages. The user selects a single voting pattern to be deleted from the displayed single voting patterns on the screen. The selected single voting pattern is transmitted from the user terminal 5 to the management server 2, and the management server 2 deletes the selected single voting pattern. The example of FIG. 6 indicates that eight single voting patterns selected by shading in the table on the right are deleted. As a result, the number of mouths is 108
Adjusted from mouth to 100 mouths. The method of expanding the single voting pattern and manually reducing the number of words has the advantage that a desired voting pattern can be specified and deleted from many expanded single voting patterns. It is necessary to look at many single voting patterns that have been performed one by one, which is inconvenient in that it takes a little time.

Next, the operation when "order designation" is selected as the number adjustment method will be described. "Order specification"
A multi-voting pattern is developed and arranged in a single order in a single voting pattern, and a single voting pattern corresponding to an order in a repetition cycle specified by a user is deleted, thereby creating a voting pattern with an adjusted number of words. Is the way. When “order designation” is selected, an “order designation adjustment” screen is displayed, although not shown.
From the “order designation adjustment” screen, the user can designate, from the arranged single voting patterns, “how many” single voting patterns arranged at every repetition period are deleted. When the user terminal 5 specifies “how many” repetitions to delete, the management server 2
, The management server 2 develops the voting pattern into a set of single voting patterns, and deletes the single voting pattern corresponding to the order in each designated repetition cycle.
The example of FIG. 7 shows, on the left side, a table of 108 multi-voting patterns, and on the right side, a table of 108 single voting patterns obtained by expanding the multi-voting pattern. In this example, it is specified to delete every "three", and in the table on the right side of FIG. 7, 36 single voting patterns selected by shading are deleted, and from 108 to 72. Adjusted. The management server 2 can also display the developed single voting pattern, the deleted single voting pattern, and the adjusted single voting pattern on the user terminal 5. The method of reducing the number of mouths by this "order specification" has the advantage that it is not necessary to check many developed single voting patterns one by one, and it is possible to reduce the number of mouths only by specifying the "repeat cycle". However, on the other hand, there is an inconvenience that the number of mouths is reduced stepwise, and it is somewhat difficult to match the number of mouths to a desired number.

Next, the operation when "condition" is selected as the number adjustment method will be described. "Condition" means that the number of selected match outcome types based on the respective number of match outcome types specified by the user, such as "Home win,""Draw," or "Home loss," This is a method of creating a voting pattern with an adjusted number of voices by leaving a single voting pattern corresponding to the given number and deleting other single voting patterns. When “condition” is selected, a “condition adjustment” screen is displayed (not shown). From the “condition adjustment” screen, the user can specify the number of “win at home”, “draw”, or “lose at home” (designation of condition). When a condition is specified from the user terminal 5, it is transmitted to the management server 2, and the management server 2 expands the voting pattern into a set of single voting patterns and deletes single voting patterns other than the specified condition. The example of FIG. 8 shows a table of 108 multi-voting patterns on the left side and a table of 108 single voting patterns obtained by developing the multi-voting pattern on the right side. In this example, for the part selected in the multi, "Home win"-3, 4, 5,
"Draw"-3 pieces are designated as conditions. As a result, in the table on the right side of FIG. 8, the 50 single voting patterns other than the designated condition selected by shading are deleted, and the 58
Adjusted to the mouth. The management server 2 stores, on the user terminal 5,
The developed single voting pattern, the deleted single voting pattern, and the adjusted single voting pattern can also be displayed. This method of reducing the number of units by "condition" does not require checking each developed single voting pattern one by one, but by simply specifying "condition", it is possible to reduce the number of units, There is an advantage that a voting pattern can be appropriately narrowed by a condition having a theoretical basis with reference to match information.

Next, the operation when "reduce" is selected as the number adjustment method will be described. "Reduce" means that if the original multi-voting pattern has 1st prize (in all games), the multi-voting pattern is developed into a single voting pattern, and then 2nd prize (one game off). By leaving the minimum number of single voting patterns that can be reliably obtained and deleting the other single voting patterns, a voting pattern with an adjusted number of votes that can aim at 2nd prize with the least number of voting votes How to create. A set of single voting patterns included in the multi-voting pattern, and if any one of the single voting patterns developed from the multi-voting pattern is 1 or the like (in all games), 2 in the set The set of the minimum number of single voting patterns, which is characterized in that there is always a single voting pattern such as (one game off), is referred to as a “reduce voting pattern”. When voting with such a “reduce voting pattern”, a voting aiming at the second prize can be made with a minimum number of units. Note that the number of reduce voting patterns for a certain multi-voting pattern is not limited to one, and there are usually multiple voting patterns. it can. However, multiple "reduce voting patterns"
, The user can select a desired “reduce voting pattern”. When “reduce” is selected, a “reduce adjustment” screen is displayed, although not shown. The management server 2 expands the voting pattern into a set of single voting patterns, and generates a “reduce voting pattern”.
Delete single voting patterns other than. Here, the "reduce voting pattern" for the multi-voting pattern
Can be found in the following way.

First, a portion where a multi (double or triple) is selected is extracted from the multi-voting pattern. For example, consider a multi-voting pattern in which only the first and second games have a triple selection and all other games have a single selection. “Home win” is expressed as “1”, “draw” is expressed as “x”, and “lost home” is expressed as “2”. Then, extracting all the patterns at the location where the multi is selected is as follows.

[0075]

[Table 1]

The second and third rows represent match result types of the first and second games, respectively, and the first row shows patterns of match result types of the first and second games in the column. Indicates a number. Therefore, No. There are 1 to 9 3 × 3 = 9 match result pattern types. From here, you can find the reduce voting pattern in the following steps: First, the number of patterns is started from one, and one pattern is selected. Therefore, first, the pattern No. Select 1. Next, the pattern No. 1 and all pattern Nos. 1 to No. 9 in order, and for all of them, the selected pattern No. It is checked whether 1 is equal to or greater than 2 (that is, 1 or 2), that is, whether or not the number of different game result types is equal to or less than 1. Pattern No. 1 (11), the pattern No. 1 (11), 2 (1 ×), 3 (12), 4 (×
In patterns 1) and 7 (21), the number of different game result types is 1 or less and 2 or more. This is not a reduce voting pattern because it does not cover all patterns 1-9. Next, the pattern No. 2
And a similar comparison shows that it is also not a reduce voting pattern. Pattern No. one after another.
The same is true even when 3 to 9 are selected for comparison. Therefore,
When the number of patterns is one, it can be seen that there is no reduce voting pattern.

Next, the number of patterns is increased by one to two. In this case, the number of combinations of patterns in which two patterns are selected from nine patterns is ₉ C ₂ = 36. The combination of all these patterns and the pattern No. 1
9 to whether or not there is a combination of patterns of 2 or more. First, the pattern No.
1 (11) and the pattern No. Select 2 (1 ×) combinations. This pattern No. 1 and No. 2 and all pattern Nos. 1 to No. 9 in order, and for all of them, the pattern Nos. 1 or N
o. It is checked whether any one of the two is equal to or greater than 2 or more, that is, whether the number of different game result types is one or less. Pattern No. No. 1 (11) and No. 1 2 (1 ×), the pattern No. 1 (11), 2
(1 ×), 3 (12), 4 (× 1), 5 (××), 7
(21) and 8 (2 ×) have one or less different game result types and equal to or more than two, but the pattern No. This is not a reduce voting pattern because it does not cover all patterns 1-9. Next, the pattern No. 1 and N
o. When a combination of 3 is selected and a similar comparison is performed, it is found that it is not a reduce voting pattern. In this way, the same applies to the case where a combination of 36 patterns is selected and compared. Therefore, when the number of patterns is two, it is understood that there is no reduce voting pattern.

Next, the number of patterns is increased by one to three. In this case, the number of combinations of patterns in which three are selected from nine patterns is ₉ C ₃ = 84. The combination of all these patterns and the pattern No. 1
9 to whether or not there is a combination of patterns of 2 or more. First, the pattern No.
1 (11), pattern No. 2 (1 ×) and pattern N
o. 3 (12) is selected. This pattern N
o. 1, 2, and 3 and all pattern Nos. 1
-No. 9 in order, and for all of them, the pattern Nos. It is checked whether any one of 1, 2, and 3 is equal to or more than 2 or more, that is, whether the number of different game result types is 1 or less. Pattern No. 1 (11),
2 (1 ×) and 3 (12), the pattern No. 1 (11), 2 (1 ×), 3 (12), 4
(× 1), 5 (××), 6 (× 2), 7 (21), 8
Since all of the patterns (2 ×) and 9 (22) have one or less different match result types and have two or more match result types, this is a (one of) reduce voting patterns. Next, by changing the combination of patterns and performing the same comparison for all 84 combinations, other reduction voting patterns (for example, combinations of Nos. 1, 4, and 7) can be found. Therefore, when the number of patterns is three,
It can be seen that there is a reduce voting pattern.

In the above example, the number of patterns is 3 × 3. However, even if the number of patterns is different, a reduce voting pattern can be found by a similar algorithm.

The above-described calculation can be performed to find a reduce voting pattern for each multi-vote pattern for which a reduce voting pattern is to be found. However, if the number of patterns increases, the calculation time becomes exponential. There is a disadvantage that it becomes longer. Therefore, in order to correspond to all the selection patterns of the multis, the reduce voting patterns (one of them) are obtained by the above-described method, and a table (reduce pattern table 3-4) for associating them is created. You can also put it. In this way, when the management server 2 finds the reduced voting pattern from the multi-voting pattern, by referring to the reduce pattern table 3-4, the reduced voting pattern can be processed in a short processing time regardless of the number of patterns. It will be possible to find out.

The example of FIG. 9 shows a multi-voting pattern of 108 mouths on the left side and a table of 108 single voting patterns obtained by expanding the multi-voting pattern on the right side. In this example, the reduced voting pattern is left and the other voting patterns are deleted for the portion selected by the multi. As a result, in the table on the right side of FIG.
Single voting patterns other than the reduce voting pattern are deleted, and the number is adjusted from 108 to 39. The management server 2 can also display the developed single voting pattern, the deleted single voting pattern, and the adjusted single voting pattern on the user terminal 5. This method of reducing the number of units by "Reduce" does not require you to check many developed single voting patterns one by one, you can reduce the number of units by simply specifying "Reduce", and the minimum There is an advantage that the voting pattern can be theoretically narrowed down by the reduce method which can aim at the second level by the number of words.

Next, the operation when "random" is selected as the number adjustment method will be described. “Random” is a method of creating a voting pattern with an adjusted number of voices by deleting a single voting pattern based on a random number generated by a random number generating means of a computer. The example of FIG. 10 shows a table of 108 multi-voting patterns on the left and a table of 108 single voting patterns obtained by expanding the multi-voting pattern on the right. In this example, the number of votes is reduced to 60 votes. This number is usually set to the number corresponding to the input purchase price. 60 from 108 mouths
In order to reduce the number of words, it is good to delete 48 single voting patterns.
Forty-eight out of the 08 single voting patterns are randomly selected based on random number generation means such as a random number table and a random number generating function, deleted, and adjusted to 60 voting patterns. As a result, in the table on the right side of FIG. 10, 48 single voting patterns selected by shading and designated by random numbers are deleted, and the number is adjusted from 108 to 60. The management server 2 can also display the developed single voting pattern, the deleted single voting pattern, and the adjusted single voting pattern on the user terminal 5. In this method of reducing the number of units by "random", it is not necessary to check many developed single voting patterns one by one, and simply specifying "random" can reduce many units, and the purchase amount There is an advantage that the voting pattern can be narrowed down to the number of words that exactly correspond to the voting pattern.

Next, the operation in the case of adjusting the number of mouths by "combination" will be described. "combination"
The term “manual”, “order specification”, “condition”, “reduce”, and “random” are a plurality of combinations. The “combination” is executed by selecting any one of the number adjustment methods from the user terminal 5 and adjusting the number, and then selecting another number adjustment method from the user terminal 5 and adjusting the number. After reducing the number of single voting patterns by the first number adjustment method, the management server 2 further reduces the number of single voting patterns by the next number adjustment method for the reduced single voting pattern. The example of FIG. 11 shows a multi-voting pattern of 108 units on the left side and 10 on the right side.
A table of eight single voting patterns is shown. In this example,
Combining "condition" and "random", 5
Decrease the number of votes to 0 votes. This number is usually set to the number corresponding to the input purchase price. In this example, first, for the portion selected in the multi, “home win” -3, 4, 5 and “draw” -3 are designated as conditions. As a result, the single voting pattern other than the designated condition is deleted, and the number is adjusted from 108 to 58. Since the designation of this condition is the same as that in the example of FIG. 8, at this point, the management server 2 sets the condition in the table on the right side of FIG.
The 50 single voting patterns selected by shading are deleted, leaving 58 single voting patterns. Next, when "random" is designated from the user terminal 5, the management server 2 selects eight single voting patterns from the 58 single voting patterns based on the random number generating means, and deletes them. You. As a result, in the table on the right side of FIG. 11, 58 single voting patterns selected by shading are deleted, and 50 single voting patterns are left. The management server 2 includes a user terminal 5
The expanded single voting pattern, the single voting pattern to be deleted, and the adjusted single voting pattern can be displayed above. In the above example, a “combination” composed of a combination of “condition” and “random” has been described, but a “combination” composed of other combinations is also possible. The method of reducing the number of units by this "combination" is to adjust the number of units using a theoretical number adjustment method such as "condition" or "reduce", and then further adjust the number of units completely corresponding to the purchase price There is an advantage that you can.

The description of the method of adjusting the number of "manual", "order designation", "condition", "reduce", "random", and "combination" is completed.
When the number adjustment is completed, the user terminal 5 executes “voting confirmation”.
A screen is displayed (step S212) and a "voting completed" screen is displayed (step S213). These operations are the same as those in the first embodiment. Also, the user terminal 5
Is the same as the first embodiment in that a "voting ticket purchase" screen can be displayed instead of the "voting completed" screen (step S213).

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, "single" or "multi"
This is a “mark sheet method” in which a voting pattern input is received via an image of a mark sheet imitating a voting application form, and the number of voting patterns is adjusted. In this embodiment, among the components of the sports promotion lottery voting system 1 shown in FIG.
A reduce pattern table 3-4, headquarters server 4, and user terminal 5 are required. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to the operation flow of FIG.

On the screen shown in step S201, "4.
When "mark sheet" is selected, the user terminal 5 receives the "mark sheet" screen from the management server 2 and displays it (step S241). On this screen, options of “1. Voting with a single” and “2. Voting with a multi” are displayed. When "1. Voting by single" is selected from the user terminal 5, although not shown, the management server 2
The “single voting input” screen is received from the management server 2,
Show it. On the “single voting input” screen, an input field for a mark sheet image imitating a single voting application form is displayed. After the user terminal 5 inputs a mark by selecting and selecting a desired single voting pattern on the mark sheet image, "voting" on the screen is performed.
When the button is selected, the input single voting pattern is transmitted to the management server 2.

On the other hand, if “2. Multi-voting” is selected from the user terminal 5, the management server 2 receives the “multi-voting input” screen from the management server 2 and displays it (step S242). On the "Multiple Voting Input" screen,
An input field for a mark sheet image imitating a multi-voting application form and options for a number adjustment method are displayed. After inputting from the user terminal 5 by marking and selecting a desired multi-voting pattern on the mark sheet image and selecting the number adjustment method, "voting" on the screen is performed.
When the button is selected, the input multi-voting pattern and the selection of the number adjustment method are transmitted to the management server 2.

When a multi-voting pattern is input on the “multi-voting input” screen, the voting pattern often has a number exceeding the purchase price. Then, next, the management server 2
When the number of the selected voting patterns exceeds the number corresponding to the purchase amount, the number is adjusted by the selection from the user terminal 5 so as to correspond to the purchase amount by one of the following methods. . On the “multi-voting input” screen in step S242, options for the number adjustment method are displayed, and the input of the selection is accepted by the management server 2 through the user terminal 5. As the method of adjusting the number of mouths, as in the third embodiment, there are “manual”, “order designation”, “condition”, “reduce”, “random”, and “combination”. The number adjustment is performed by the same operation as in the embodiment. When the number adjustment is completed, the user terminal 5 displays the “voting confirmation” screen (step S212) and the “voting completed” screen (step S213). These operations are the same as those in the first embodiment. It is. In addition, the user terminal 5 can display a “voting ticket purchase” screen instead of the “voting completed” screen (step S213), similarly to the first embodiment. This concludes the description of the four embodiments relating to “voting” based on the variations in the generation of voting patterns.

After completion of the "voting", the management server 2 notifies the user of the opportunity of the "voting" from the next time by e-mail (step S251 in FIG. 4). The e-mail says, "You can vote this time under the same conditions as before.
"Do you want to vote?" And options of "1. Vote as it is" and "2. These options include hyperlink information, and when one of them is selected, a WWW browser is started and the Web address of the address associated with the hyperlink is selected.
The page (screen) is displayed. At that time, the management server 2
Acquires the Cookie variable from the user terminal 5 and identifies the user accordingly. When “1. Vote as it is” is selected, the management server 2
In the above WWW browser, an "Automatic" screen (Fig. 4
Step S211), a "variety" screen (step S221 in FIG. 4), a "my choice" screen (step S231 in FIG. 4), or a "mark sheet" screen (FIG. 4).
In step S241), the same one selected by the user at the time of the previous vote is displayed. On each screen, the conditions to be input and the options to be selected are displayed in a state where the same conditions as in the previous input are input by default. From here, the user can vote under the same conditions as the previous time. When “2. Vote under different conditions” is selected, the management server 2 sends the WWW browser on the user terminal 5 to step S20 in FIG.
A “voting menu” screen indicated by 1 is displayed. From here, the user can vote under different conditions from the previous time. This notification e-mail offers the user the advantage of not inadvertently losing the opportunity to "vote" in the future and to easily vote on the same conditions as the previous one, In addition, sports promotion lottery operators are provided with the advantage of increasing sales of sports promotion lotteries.

Next, the operation of functions other than "voting" will be described. First, the function of “result confirmation” will be described. The user can check the result of his / her voting from the user terminal 5 by using the “result check” function,
It is possible to check the result of the match. User terminal 5
When “2. Check result” is selected from the “member main menu” screen shown in step S101 of FIG.
The user terminal 5 receives the “result confirmation menu” screen from the management server 2 and displays it (step S30).
1). On the “result confirmation menu” screen, an “input column” of a schedule for confirming the voting result or the match result is displayed. When the “voting result” button on the screen is selected after the schedule is input in the input field, the input schedule and the selection of “voting result” are transmitted to the management server 2.

When the management server 2 receives the input schedule and selection of “voting result”, the management server 2 requests the head office server 4 via the network for the data of the winning result of the voting ticket purchased for the schedule by the user. . Headquarters server 4
The management server 2 that has received the hit result data from the server configures a “voting result display” screen including the hit result data, and transmits the screen to the user terminal 5. The user terminal 5
The "voting result display" screen is received from the management server 2,
It is displayed (step S302). On the "voting result display" screen, based on the data of the winning result, the voting ticket voted by the user, the distinction of winning / losing, what to do if winning, the amount of the winning refund, etc. are displayed,
The user can check the winning result of his / her voting. The “voting result display” screen also displays a “next voting” button and a “match result” button. "Next poll"
When the button is selected, the user terminal 5 displays a “voting menu” screen shown in step S201 of FIG. The user can vote from the screen as described above. On the other hand, when the “match result” button is selected, a “match result display” screen is displayed in the same manner as when the “match result” button is selected in the “result confirmation menu” shown in step S301 described below. (Step S303).

When the “match result” button is selected in the “result confirmation menu” shown in step S301, the input schedule and the selection of the “match result” are transmitted to the management server 2. When the management server 2 receives the input schedule and the selection of the “match result”, the management server 2 requests the headquarters server 4 via the network for match result data for the schedule. The management server 2 that has received the game result data from the headquarters server 4 configures a “game result display” screen including the game result data, and transmits the screen to the user terminal 5. The user terminal 5 receives the “match result display” screen from the management server 2 and displays it (step S303).
On the "match result display" screen, based on the match result data, the result of the match related to voting on the schedule specified by the user is displayed, and the user can check the result of the match in which the user is interested. The match results are preferably displayed in the image of the betting ticket with the match results marked, along with the results of other matches included in the voting associated with the match. On the “match result display” screen, a “voting result” button is also displayed. When the "voting result" button is selected, the user terminal 5 proceeds to step S30 in FIG.
A “voting result display” screen indicated by 2 is displayed.

Next, the operation of the "information reference" function will be described. By the function of "information reference", the user can refer to the information related to the sports promotion lottery provided by the website operator from the user terminal 5,
You can vote with reference to this. When “3. Information reference” is selected from the “member main menu” screen shown in step S101 of FIG. 3 on the user terminal 5, the user terminal 5 receives the “information reference menu” screen from the management server 2. And displays it (step S40).
1). On the “information reference menu” screen, options of “1. team information”, “2. player information”, “3. game record”, and “4. next prediction” are displayed as information types.
Information related to those options is provided in advance by the website operator in the provided information data file 3-5.
It is stored in. The “team information” includes, for example, a home ground, a founding parent, a history, and the like. The “player information” includes, for example, characteristics of each player belonging to the team, soccer history, past achievements, height and weight, and the like. The “match record” includes, for example, a match record in a past specific period. The “next prediction” includes, for example, prediction information of the next match result based on past match results. When any of the options is selected on the user terminal 5, the selection is transmitted to the management server 2. The management server 2 searches the provided information data file 3-5 via the data management means 3 and acquires information corresponding to the option. The management server 2 transmits the information to the user terminal 5, and although not shown, the user terminal 5 receives and displays the information.

Next, the function of “registration information confirmation” will be described. With this “registration information confirmation” function, the user can confirm / change basic information such as his / her own user ID and confirm / change voting basic information such as purchase price and voting conditions from the user terminal 5. it can. When “4. Confirm registration information” is selected from the “member main menu” screen shown in step S101 of FIG. 3 on the user terminal 5, the user terminal 5 displays the “registration information confirmation” screen from the management server 2. Receive and display it (step S50)
1). On the “registration information confirmation” screen, registration information on the user is displayed. Registration information includes user I
Basic information about the user such as D, name, address, etc., default purchase amount of voting ticket, basic voting information about voting such as voting conditions, and the like are included. In addition, "voting basic information"
Works as follows: When the default “purchase amount” is registered, the management server 2 performs the data entry in advance on the user terminal 5 through the screen having the input column for the purchase amount as described above. It is possible to display a screen in a state where the “purchase amount” is input in the input field. This saves the user from having to input the purchase price one by one. Also,
When the “voting condition” is registered, the management server 2 can create a voting pattern based on the registered “voting condition”. For example, in the voting in the “automatic” method according to the first embodiment, the management server 2 compares the ratio of the match result type in the past match results with the “specific ratio” to perform the voting. A pattern is created, and the “specific ratio” can be registered as a “voting condition”. As a result, the user can automatically create a voting pattern by the "automatic" method, using the "specific ratio" input by his / her own judgment as the "voting condition".

To modify the registration information, the user selects the "correction" button displayed on the "registration information confirmation" screen. When the “correct” button is selected, the user terminal 5
Receives a “registration information correction” screen from the management server 2,
It is displayed (step S502). On the “registration information modification” screen, the registration information can be changed by overwriting the displayed registration information. When the “confirm” button is selected after the registration information is overwritten, the overwritten information is transmitted from the user terminal 5 to the management server 2. The management server 2, based on the received information,
Modify registration information. The management server 2 composes a “registration information modification confirmation” screen based on the modified information and transmits it to the user terminal 5. The user terminal 5 displays the received “registration information correction confirmation” screen. After confirming the screen, the user selects the “confirm” button on the screen if the content of the correction is correct. When the “confirm” button is selected, the management server 2 completes the correction, transmits the “member main menu” screen shown in step S101 to the user terminal 5,
The user terminal 5 displays it. On the other hand, when the content displayed on the “registration information correction confirmation” screen needs to be further corrected, the user selects the “re-correction” button on the screen.
When the “re-correction” button is selected, the management server 2 transmits the “registration information correction” screen shown in step S502 to the user terminal 5 again, and the user terminal 5 displays it and performs the re-correction. Accept.

As described above, according to the system and method of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. According to the invention as set forth in claims 1, 17 and 33, input of voting conditions for sports promotion lottery is received from a terminal via a network, a voting pattern is created based on the voting conditions, and the voting pattern corresponds to the purchase price. Since the number of units to be adjusted is adjusted, voting can be performed from the terminal, a voting pattern can be automatically created according to the voting conditions, and the number of units corresponding to the purchase amount can be voted.

According to the invention described in claims 2, 18 and 34, the voting pattern is generated based on the battle result data, so that the prediction based on the past results is automatically performed, and the voting is performed based on the prediction. The effect is obtained.

According to the third and nineteenth aspects of the present invention,
Based on the match result data, a match result type that occupies a specific ratio or more of a match within a predetermined period in the past for a match of a specific team included in the match result data and that has the highest rate is specified. Since the voting pattern including the match result of the combination of the teams is created, the effect is obtained that the prediction based on the past results is automatically performed and the voting can be performed based on the prediction.

According to the invention described in claims 4 and 20,
The voting pattern is adjusted to a voting pattern of the number corresponding to the purchase amount by randomly reducing the single voting pattern constituting the voting pattern based on the random number generation means. The effect is that the adjustment can be made dynamically.

According to the fifth, twenty-first and thirty-fifth aspects of the present invention, the prediction result provided by the prediction providing means is managed, an input of the selection of the prediction providing means is received from the terminal via the network, and the voting conditions are set. In order to create a voting pattern based on the voting pattern and adjust the voting pattern to a number corresponding to the purchase amount, the terminal uses the expected result of the game provided to the expected providing means by selecting a desired expected providing means from the terminal. The effect of automatically creating a voting pattern and voting for the number corresponding to the purchase price can be obtained.

According to the invention described in claims 6 and 22,
The voting pattern corresponding to the purchase amount is reduced by randomly reducing the voting pattern using the expected result of the match provided to the selected anticipation providing means based on the random number generating means from the single voting pattern constituting the voting pattern. In order to adjust to the pattern, it is a voting using the expected result of the match provided to the prediction providing means, and the effect that the voting automatically adjusted to the number of words accurately corresponding to the purchase price can be performed. can get.
