Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prompt not only the payment of consumption duty but also the correct declaration for various taxes based on business income by making the actual state of trade of undertaker or enterprisers surely graspable. SOLUTION: A trading computer 1 for inputting that an undertaker makes a trade and a managing computer 2 communicable with the trading computer and controlling the trade data in a controlled area are prepared. The former calculates the consumption duty when a trade price is inputted and instructs to issue a receipt 4 bearing a trade code comprising an undertaker code indicating the undertaker and the specific trade code of the undertaker in a specified period and a collation code. The latter receives and stores the trade data transmitted from the former, and stores the trade data of the undertakers in a specified period. One or a plurality of trade codes randomly sampled from the stored data of all undertakers can be outputted for presentation with the collation codes concealed and, when the collation codes are confirmed, a reward is given to the undertakers and consumers.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a consumption tax lottery system, and more particularly, to a method of providing a prize or the like based on a consumption tax amount to each business or consumer. The present invention relates to a computer system capable of accurately grasping transactions and promoting accurate collection of a consumption tax.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When paying for the purchase of goods or providing services, paying automatically through a financial institution, or paying with a credit card, if the payment falls under the tax stipulated in the current consumption tax law, , 20 in Japan
As of January 2001, a 5% consumption tax has to be paid. In this way, the consumption tax generated every time payment is made should be paid by the consumer to the national treasury.

[0003] However, consumption tax is extremely frequent,
In addition, consumers who are unfamiliar with tax payment procedures are remarkably troublesome, so that a method of depositing the goods and services at the time of payment of the price is adopted. Needless to say, each business operator is obliged to pay the self-assessed consumption tax to the national treasury at the time of settlement of accounts and the like.

[0004] By the way, even though the significance of the consumption tax system can be understood by consumers, the most worrisome consumer is that the consumption tax deposited with the business is paid to the national treasury at every purchase. That is. Everyone wants to believe that this is the case, but in today's society where tax evasion is endless, not many people think that the entire area where the provisions of the consumption tax law apply is revenue. .

[0005] In the case of annual sales of 30 million yen or less, the tax payment by the voluntary declaration of the business is not paid by the citizens, regardless of whether the current system in which the consumption tax deposited is treated as the income of the business as it is. It is hard to say that it is the best consumable tax payment system. It is not an exaggeration to say that the reason is that the amount of tax deposited by the business is not fully grasped in advance by the national tax authorities.

[0006]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Incidentally, since the introduction of the consumption tax system, there has been no proposal of a tallying system that can reliably make all revenue except for cases where exceptional provisions are applied. It is not where. Much more
The filing process is still usually done in writing, which requires a lot of manpower for large companies and mass retailers who have to prepare for filing based on a large amount of business data and accounting data. I cannot deny that.

[0007] The inventor of the present invention provides information that proves that a business taxpayer has actually paid a consumption tax because a business operator can mistakenly grasp the actual situation of a transaction or intentionally conceal income. Recognizing that there is no opportunity, and now that mass high-speed communication is possible, the first step is to be able to grasp the actual situation of transactions by transmitting information using computers and communication lines. The present invention has been completed based on the idea and technical knowledge for realizing it.

[0008] In addition, it incorporates a contrivance to create an opportunity for consumers to proactively claim and prove the fact of a transaction, to establish a public-private cooperation system and to improve the trust between businesses and consumers. Things. It is also acknowledged that the consumer's personal information should not be disclosed irrespective of his or her own intention, and that the number of business transactions of the business should be disclosed only very roughly. ing.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned social or economic background. The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to surely grasp the actual situation of transactions in each business. Be able to make corrections, if any, by presenting evidence from the consumer, giving businesses and consumers the opportunity to receive compensation in order to cooperate in doing so; An object of the present invention is to provide a consumption tax lottery system which aims to realize not only payment of a consumption tax but also appropriate declaration of various taxes based on business income by grasping transaction data.

[0010]

A feature of the consumption tax lottery system according to the present invention is that, with reference to FIG. 1, a business such as a merchandise seller or a service provider has made a transaction. A trading computer 1 for inputting,
And a managing computer 2 that can communicate with the trading computer and manages transaction data in a jurisdiction. The trading computer 1 calculates the consumption tax amount when the transaction price is input, and includes a business symbol 11 (see FIG. 2) representing the business and a business identification code 12 of the business within a predetermined period. The transaction record 13 (see FIG. 2) is created by assigning the transaction symbol 13 and the check symbol 14, and the transaction record is stored as transaction data. , A receipt 4 (see FIG. 3) indicating the transaction symbol and the collation symbol is issued. On the other hand, the managing computer 2 receives and stores the transaction data appropriately transmitted from the trading computer 1 and accumulates the transaction data of the respective companies during the predetermined period, and after the predetermined period elapses, within the predetermined period. While notifying one or more transaction symbols randomly extracted from the accumulated data of all the operators together with their matching symbols to all the operators and / or the jurisdiction offices via the communication means, The buyer can output the extracted transaction symbol to the purchaser through the store, the media, or the Internet homepage with the corresponding verification symbol turned down. In addition, a business dealing with the transaction of the transaction symbol can be provided with an article, a gift certificate, or a prize of M times the consumption tax amount of the transaction, and a receipt of the extracted transaction symbol. If the purchaser, etc. that holds the above, and the verification code written on the receipt is confirmed by the business operator and / or the regional jurisdiction office or both, to be N times the price of the consumption tax Alternatively, a gift certificate or a prize can be received.

A midcomputer 3 is provided between the trading computer 1 and the managing computer 2, and the midcomputer receives and stores transaction data appropriately transmitted from the trading computers in the jurisdiction, and the managing computer 3 Transaction data appropriately transmitted from the midcomputer may be received, stored, and stored.

It is preferable that the reference symbol 14 be represented by the date and time of receipt of the payment (see FIG. 3).

When the consumption tax amount described in the receipt 4 (see FIG. 4) exceeds a predetermined limit, the consumption tax amount is divided by the limit amount and rounded up if a fraction appears. The obtained number of transaction identification symbols 12 is given to the receipt.

As the transaction symbol randomly extracted, a transaction symbol 13 (see FIG. 10) determined by a public lottery may be adopted.

If the transaction symbol determined by the lottery does not exist, an alternative transaction symbol is selected by the managing computer, and a transaction symbol that has been selected as a winning candidate before reaching the alternative transaction symbol is also announced. (See FIGS. 12, 13 and 25).

The business symbol is composed of a plurality of digits or characters. If the business symbol does not exist in the winning transaction symbol, the first character or number is changed to the first or next character until the relevant business symbol appears. (See FIG. 25).

[0017] The transaction identification symbol is composed of a plurality of digits, and when the digit does not exist in the transaction identification symbol of the winning business operator symbol, it is sequentially replaced with 0 from the first digit until the corresponding number appears. (See FIG. 12).

[0018]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a consumption tax lottery system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment thereof. First, the present invention is a lottery system for a consumption tax. The purpose of the system is to promote the collection of a consumption tax by avoiding intentional tax evasion or forgetting to pay a tax due to a mistake as much as possible. In doing this, we will institute a receipt storage habit to give consumers the opportunity to win prizes, etc., so that consumers can function to prove the existence of the transaction, It aims to establish a mutual cooperation system between consumers, business operators and the national tax authorities for clarification of business income, etc., by preparing opportunities for rewarding business operators who do not omit transaction reports. is there.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a consumption tax lottery system, which comprises a plurality of trading computers 1, 1 and a managing computer 2 connected thereto via a communication line. Since this system provides a connection between each business and the national tax authority, the trading computer 1 is owned by each business or business establishment, and the managing computer is managed by the national tax authority. In the example of FIG. 1, a mid computer 3 is also provided between the two computers.

The trading computer 1 is for inputting that a business such as a merchandise seller or a service provider has made a transaction. Therefore, the computer creates and stores, for example, the transaction record 8 shown in FIG. 2, and also issues a receipt issuance command as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, and is arranged in a store or a supermarket. Instead of a cash register, it is operated in a similar manner. Of course, it may be one that functions in cooperation with an existing cash register.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a trading computer installed in place of a cash register. When a taxable amount, which is a transaction price, is input using a keyboard, an optical reader, or the like, the consumption tax amount is automatically calculated, and a receipt 4 as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 is attached. It can be made to launch from the printer 5.

The trading computer 1 will be described in more detail. When at least a transaction price is entered, as shown in FIG. 2, the taxable amount and the consumption tax amount, the business symbol 11 representing the business and the business Symbol 1 including transaction identification symbol 12 within a predetermined period of time
3, a transaction record 8 can be created by giving a check mark 14, and the transaction record can be temporarily or permanently stored as transaction data.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, an input device 6 such as an optical reader and a facsimile machine 7 are connected to the trading computer as required, and a CPU for performing a control function and an arithmetic function as a computer. , RA
M, ROM, and a clock and an interface for input / output. It is also connected to a telephone line or the like, and has a communication function for transmitting data and desired information as described later.

The above-mentioned business symbol refers to a code or a symbol for specifying a business or a business office (for example, a branch office) which handles the trading computer, and is usually given in advance for each trading computer. is there. This symbol can be composed of letters, numbers, symbols, etc., or a combination thereof. In this example, the description will be made using four alphabetic characters.

If 26 capital letters are adopted as the alphabet to be used, the four-digit business symbol is 26 × 26 ×
26 × 260 ≒ 460,000 ways can be created. Even more, if you want 52 characters including 26 lowercase letters, 52 ×
52 × 52 × 52 ≒ 7.3 million ways can be prepared.

From among the 7,300,000 character groups, the characters may be assigned to all businesses and establishments such as manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, etc. without duplication. Needless to say, it is inevitable that unoccupied symbols will remain due to the consolidation or abolition of offices, and unused symbols will remain due to the shortage of operators. If there is a new business, it is preferable to fill the space from the empty space. Incidentally, since a plurality of trading computers may be used in the same establishment, the company symbol may be assigned to each trading computer.

However, this is also merely described for the sake of easy understanding, and the number of transactions input to one trading computer may exceed the number represented by the transaction identification symbol described later. When it is sufficiently predicted, one trading computer is given two business operator symbols in advance, and when the trading volume in a predetermined period cannot be satisfied by using one business operator symbol, another operator is required. It is permissible to have two operator symbols available.

The above-mentioned transaction identification code can be called a transaction code or a sales number, and a series of transaction codes inputted for each trading computer for a predetermined period of time, for example, one month from April 1 to 30 is described. Devoted. Although it is not impossible to employ characters as this code, it can be said that a numeral without a missing number is the most convenient and convenient to process.

If, for example, there were 467 sales from April 9 at 19:00 to 18:00, the sales would be 00000.
Consecutive numbers from 1 to 000467 are used, and the next day the transaction specific symbols starting with 00468 are used. Then, from the next month, the process can be restarted from 000001. However, this does not mean that we must start with 000001.

As will be understood from the above, the above-mentioned predetermined period is, for example, a period in units of one month, which is predetermined and can be treated as a unit of two months. This predetermined period is
This is because it is for specifying a transaction subject to a later-described lottery of a consumption tax lottery.

The collation symbol mentioned above is a hidden symbol for preventing a receipt such as a receipt from being forged or falsified. The verification code is also indicated on the receipt at the time of payment, but the only person who knows the verification code is the holder of the receipt and the company that issued the receipt, and other people can see it. If you don't, you can't know. Incidentally, as will be described later, it is also possible to construct a system in which even a business operator does not know.

In short, a receipt holder or a person who has seen the receipt can confirm whether or not the lottery has been won based on the business symbol and the transaction symbol including the transaction identification symbol. The truth of the receipt cannot be easily determined.
This is because receipts etc. are simply printed on ordinary paper with ordinary ink, and it is almost impossible to protect some counterfeiting like banknotes. is there.

Therefore, when a receipt in which the winning transaction symbol is described is brought in, the matching symbol described therein matches the matching symbol recorded when the transaction data was transmitted from the trading computer to the managing computer. If so, the receipt can be determined to be authentic.

This collation symbol can be arbitrarily selected as in the case of the business symbol, but the simplest is to use the transaction date and time. If a unit of seconds is used more reliably, it is practically impossible to create a matching receipt even if a false receipt is created. Needless to say, if a receipt is brought in that matches the transaction symbol but does not match the verification symbol, it immediately turns out to be a counterfeit receipt.

On the other hand, the managing computer 2 receives and stores transaction data appropriately transmitted from the trading computer 1. Therefore, according to the accumulated data of the managing computer, the national tax authority can grasp all the transaction data of each business operator in the jurisdiction area during the predetermined period.

The managing computer 2 plays an important role related to the consumption tax betting in addition to the above functions. That is, after a predetermined period elapses, one or a plurality of transaction symbols randomly extracted from the accumulated data of all the businesses in the jurisdiction within the predetermined period along with the verification code together with all the businesses or the regional offices or Both are notified via communication means. Further, it is also possible to output to the consumer, through the store of each company, the media, or the Internet homepage, the announce the winning transaction symbol with the verification symbol hidden.

With such a system configuration, it is possible to provide a business dealing with a transaction of a winning transaction symbol with a product, a gift certificate, or a prize having a price M times the consumption tax amount of the transaction. This is expected to facilitate the introduction of this system.

On the other hand, a case where a purchaser or the like holding a receipt of a winning transaction symbol is confirmed by the business operator and / or the regional jurisdiction office that the matching symbol described in the receipt matches. And N of the consumption tax paid
It is possible to receive double-priced goods or gift certificates or prizes, thereby raising awareness of storage of receipts and supporting the existence of the transaction.

More specifically, the above-mentioned receipt is printed with a transaction price, a consumption tax amount, a transaction symbol, and a verification symbol together with other items necessary for the business operator, and is in a form that can be stored for a certain period of time. Handed to the payer. In general, a cut receipt as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 in which roll paper is unreeled and printed is quite sufficient. Of course, since trading is developed in various forms, the size and shape of the receipt can be selected and used for each business operator, and it is possible to display items to which the present invention can be applied. It is enough.

Incidentally, some customers may want a full-fledged receipt instead of a receipt. Care should be taken not to duplicate the same transaction code and verification code, such as by placing only the transaction code and verification code on the receipt in the above-mentioned receipt. The receipt (receipt) in the example of FIG. 4 has "Receipt issued separately" at the bottom of the receipt, and this receipt is used as a document certifying the expenditure when the buyer allocates the expenses to his own business. Indicates that it cannot be used. However, it goes without saying that it functions as a receipt for the consumption tax lot, as long as the transaction symbol and the verification symbol are described.

It is needless to say that, in a store that collects a receipt when a full-scale receipt is issued, the transaction symbol and the verification symbol must be transcribed from the receipt. Then, the receipt stored on the side of the business operator may be given a display such as "Transferred transaction code etc." to prevent confusion later.

By the way, in the case of automatic payment from an account of a financial institution such as gas or electricity or payment by a credit card, as long as the debit report, the debit amount, the consumption tax amount, the transaction symbol, and the verification symbol are described, Treat the sales tax lot as an applicable receipt.

As a different form of payment, there is a case where a payment is made. This means that several transactions that have occurred up to 〆 days are collectively paid at a predetermined time, but the receipt in that case also functions as a receipt as long as it has the entry requirements be able to.

In the case of cash-on-delivery sales (generally referred to as "cash on delivery"), bring a receipt describing the transaction code, and describe the goods receipt time as a verification code in front of the recipient. Data may be input to the trading computer based on the copy. If the cash-on-delivery transaction has not been established, XXXXX
XXXXXX or the like may be input to record that the receipt of the transaction symbol has been canceled.

In any case, a receipt as referred to in the present invention is a document that certifies receipt of a price, displays a consumption tax amount, and includes at least a transaction symbol and a verification symbol. Anything that is not issued more than one is sufficient. Therefore, the receipt may be transmitted by a communication means such as a facsimile or an e-mail certifying that payment has been made based on the transaction subject to the consumption tax.

By the way, since the form of the receipt is reproducible, if a winner is dubbed twice for the same transaction symbol, there is no doubt that one of them is a forged receipt. However, the verification code is not notified not only to the general consumer but also to the business, and if the following measures are taken, confusion due to forgery will not be caused.

That is, the verification symbol assigned by the trading computer 1 may be garbled or encrypted so that only the managing computer 2 can decipher and store it. Or, once printed for receipt issue, trade with the same trade symbol
When displaying on the liquid crystal screen or printing again, the program may be programmed so that the display or printing of the verification symbol is prohibited. Alternatively, it is possible to delete only the collation symbol immediately after transmitting it to the managing computer, and various means for preventing forgery can be considered.

In the case where the transaction is canceled due to returned goods or the like, it is sufficient to input a transaction symbol by looking at the receipt issued at the time of the transaction and input that the transaction has been canceled. In that case, the trading computer will automatically reduce the selling price to 0 yen while leaving the transaction symbol,
It suffices to install a program that can blindfold the collation symbol with the same number of digits, for example, XXXXXXXXXXXX.
It should be noted that, even if the information is blindfolded, the collation symbol before cancellation is transmitted to the managing computer as a part of the transaction data, and it is preferable that the managing computer can grasp it.

It is necessary to make it possible to perform such a correction operation one or two times before the predetermined period. Therefore, the above-mentioned lottery is delayed for three months. Consideration should be given to the timing, such as a lottery.

By the way, the managing computer 2
Can be used as long as it can communicate with all trading computers in Japan. Therefore, it may be installed in the capital. However, as the number of operators rises considerably throughout the country, it is fully anticipated that it will take some time to contact all of them.

Therefore, if the whole country is divided into several blocks and the midcomputer 3 shown in FIG. 1 is arranged at the branch office of the National Tax Agency in charge of each block, the number of trading computers to be communicated is reduced, Inconvenience in communication is eliminated. Of course, in order to secure communication, the ID number of the other, whether between the trading computer and the managing computer, between the trading computer and the mid computer, or between the mid computer and the managing computer, It is only necessary to confirm the information before communicating. Note that the ID number in communication with the trading computer may be one consisting of several characters including a business symbol.

The above-mentioned midcomputer is located between the trading computer and the managing computer. As shown in FIG. 1, the midcomputer may be arranged in a one-stage structure. When subdivision is performed by layering blocks such as large blocks, the midcomputers can be arranged in a multi-stage structure. It goes without saying that the transfer of transaction data from each trading computer will be smooth if a midcomputer is interposed in this way, and the intermediate stock function of transaction data will also be exhibited, in case of unexpected computer trouble. It will be easier.

When such a hierarchical structure of computers is adopted, computers in any layer can behave as managing computers in the area, and the lottery budget is divided into several in Japan. If assigned, the winning lottery described later can be performed only in the jurisdiction. By the way, it is natural that consumers can buy or trade outside the area where they live and also where the purchaser is outside the location, so even if such differentiation is achieved, make it possible to view the lottery in other areas. If this is done, there will be no particular problem.

By the way, the transmission of transaction data from the trading computer to the managing computer or the mid computer is started at regular intervals by access from the trading computer. The certain period of time may be one hour or four hours, and all the transactions that occurred during that period are transmitted together. FIG. 2 shows an example of a transaction record 8 for the morning from the opening of 9:00 on July 21, 2001 to 12:00.

In the case of a business with a small transaction volume, this transaction record may be prepared for one day or one week. In any case, if the predetermined period is set on a monthly basis, it is sufficient that all of the previous month is stored in the managing computer by the beginning of the next month. If mid computers are installed, it goes without saying that the transaction data received by each mid computer is transferred to the managing computer within a certain period of time.

Communication between the managing computer (including the above-mentioned mid computer) and the trading computer involves not only transmission and reception of transaction data and winning transaction symbols, but also the managing computer receives a request from the trading computer. It is also desirable to be able to return transaction data compiled every certain period.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a transaction record for one month from the opening of the store at 9:00 on July 1, 2001 to the closing of the store at 19:00 on July 31, 2001. When this is returned, some business operators can confirm whether their transaction and their data stored in the managing computer match. Therefore, if it is found that there is a missing transaction in the morning on July 6, it becomes possible to replenish it at an early opportunity until the lottery month.

Incidentally, in the case where the verification code is not given to the business operator as described above, when returning the transaction record for a predetermined period as shown in FIG. 6, instead of the transaction record having the verification code hidden as shown in FIG. And at least the transaction specific symbol 0
Although 00002 exists, only XXXXXXXXXXXX indicating that it has been canceled may be left in the collation symbol column.

Because, as shown in FIG. 6, if the transaction time is limited to the minute as the verification symbol, the transaction identification code 000002 is one of the three cases traded at 9:01. This is because you know that there is.

Here, the consumption tax lot will be described. The number of transaction data stored in the managing computer is enormous even if the predetermined period covers one month. However, in the examples that follow, for the sake of simplicity of understanding, there will be one managing computer in each of several jurisdictions (hereinafter also referred to as blocks), which will cover all businesses in that block, The lottery is performed in block units.

There are various lottery methods. For example, the winning can be determined by using the random number table by the managing computer 2. However, in order to give an impression that the lottery is fair, the open lottery is preferable. . For example, on the third Sunday of each month, a lottery for a group of transactions that occurred three months ago is held for each block. For example, ten baskets 15 shown in FIG. 8 are prepared. The first four baskets 1
5 _1, is in ... 15 ₄ which contains a ball 16 that is attached of the alphabet, after six of the cage 15 _11, ...,
15 ₁₆ contains a ball 17 with a number. If you take out one ball at random from each basket, "BGH
D-785617 ".

The winning transaction symbol thus obtained is:
Needless to say, the trading computer marked with “BGHD” indicates that the transaction is related to the “785617” -th issued receipt. For example, a method may be adopted in which this “BGHD-785617” is treated as special, and thereafter, the first and second ranks are sequentially drawn. In the case of the third and lower tiers, if only the last four or three digits of the transaction identification symbol match, the winning may be achieved. By the way, if the purpose of this system is to promote consumption, it would be effective to provide goods, business certificates or prizes in proportion to the amount of consumption tax paid.

The problem is that the consumption tax amount is various, and even if there are 1,000 winnings, the total consumption tax amount to be subject to the winning may be greatly different at each lottery. It happens that the amount cannot be kept within the lottery budget. One way to solve this is
If the consumption tax amount on the receipt exceeds a predetermined limit, the consumption tax amount is divided by that limit, and if there is a fraction, the number of transaction specific symbols obtained by rounding up the receipt is shown on the receipt. Consideration should be given to giving

If the limit is 10,000 yen,
For example, if a 1.26 million yen car is purchased as shown in FIG. 4, the consumption tax amount will be 63,000 yen. However, even though there is only one receipt for the lottery, if the receipt is 7 sheets, To handle. That is, 63,000 yen = 6 × 10,
Since it is 000 yen + 1 × 3,000 yen, seven transaction specific symbols 12 from 785616 to 785622 are assigned.

Transaction specific symbols 785616 to 7856
The seven up to 22 may be equally set at 9,000 yen, but the consumption tax amount is not always divisible by the number of divisions, so the six from 785616 to 785621 are 10,000 yen at the end. 785622 of 3,00
If it is treated as 0 yen, the subsequent processing can be extremely simplified. Therefore, if you can win 1,000 times the prize money by winning, "GBHD-7
"85619" wins 10 million yen, "GBHD-
785622 "will be awarded a prize amount of 3 million yen.

When the winning transaction symbol is determined by the above-mentioned open lottery or the like, this is input to the managing computer. Although it has been described above that a lot of winning numbers may be determined by lottery, since the underlying fact of the present invention is to clarify the fact that there is a transaction through lottery, it is treated as follows. If the winning number is determined, the intended purpose is further achieved.

Although the following example is merely an example, if the player sees the winning number “BGHD-785617” and is immediately out of the way, he can connect his hope without being discouraged. FIG. 10 is one of such examples. This is an attempt to diversify the character group by changing the combination of alphabets of the business symbols among the transaction symbols. The number of combinations of the four alphabets is 4! As shown in the left column of FIG. (= 24,! Represents the factorial)
There will be a winning lottery.

For example, “BGHD-78” obtained at the lottery
"5617" will be referred to as special, and the 23 combinations obtained by rearrangement will be referred to as ordinary winnings. And the special prize is 10,000 times the consumption tax, and the normal prize is 1,
A prize of 000 times shall be provided. Assuming that the consumption tax amount is 10,000 yen for the limit value as described above, up to 100 million yen for special purposes and up to 2 yen for normal election
It is only necessary to secure a total of 330 million yen, which is 330 million yen, as prize money for each predetermined period.

Even if the average consumption tax amount described in one receipt in each block is 500 yen, the prize amount used for the winning of 24 is only 16.5 million yen / month. Even if there are 10 blocks nationwide, the average is about 2 billion yen per year. A greedy person will buy in consideration of the time of winning, so that the consumption tax amount will increase even by one yen, and a person who wants to carry several transaction specific symbols will increase the number of purchases. The reason is that even if you buy 1,000 yen and pay 50 yen consumption tax, this will be 500,000 yen if it wins specially and 50,000 yen if it wins normally.

The existence of a total of 24 winning transaction symbols based on “BGHD-785617” is confirmed by the managing computer. When the existence of all items is confirmed, the managing computer picks up the respective consumption tax amounts from the winning data and calculates the prize amount. this is,
The information is published in the form shown in FIG. 10 so that each business or consumer can know through a communication line.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, the receipt is transmitted to the branch office of the national tax authority which pays the prize or the like to the winning receipt with the reference symbol 14 as well.

Go to the nearest branch office, such as a regional office, to receive the prize, and confirm that the verification code written on the receipt matches the verification code transmitted from the managing computer. You will be given a prize if it is determined to be a genuine receipt. Then, the business with the special and normal winning business symbol also appears, so that, for example, the same amount as the prize received by the consumer is paid.

In this example, the same numbers have been applied to the above-described M and N times, but the description of N times does not mean to the consumer that it is a single type of magnification, As described above, it is also possible to use two types of 10,000 times and 1,000 times. M times to apply to the operator even or the two types of M ₁ and M _2, also the magnification may be made different from the N ₁ and N ₂ of course.

Incidentally, a block symbol is also attached to the receipt. It is shown that the receipts of FIGS. 3 to 5 were issued in block e. For example, if the land is east, west, north, south,
If you divide it into five, such as the metropolitan area, "a",
Five characters such as “b”,..., “E” are used. In addition, you may make it employ | adopt a business symbol like eBGHD which took in the block symbol.

By doing so, “eBGHD-7
It is easy to see that "85617" is a special win for receipts issued in the Tokyo metropolitan area. By the way, there is a case where none of the winning transaction symbols shown in FIG. This is because the number of prepared operator symbols may be larger than the number of trading computers, or may be registered once but left blank due to consolidation of offices. It should be noted that a method of providing a business operator symbol for avoiding the occurrence of empty lottery at the business operator symbol portion will be described later.

Here, a description will be given of a process in a case where it is assumed that the business operator symbol exists and the transaction specific symbol “785617” does not exist. If the BGHD operator does not have as many transactions as usual to reach "785617", the consumer may have the impression that it is difficult to win the transaction with the entrepreneur. In order to avoid this, the trade identification symbol will be deferred while maintaining "BGHD". However, simply decrementing one by one leads to the receipt with the final transaction identification symbol, and if the predetermined period is one month, it will be easier to buy at the end of the month. Invite.

Then, for example, as shown in FIG.
If "DGH-785617" does not exist (Step 1, hereinafter referred to as S1, etc.), "BDGH-085617" is substituted (S2). This “085617” does not mean that the last five digits should match, but 8561.
It means a receipt with a seventh transaction identification symbol. Therefore, 585617 and 285617 are excluded from the target of winning.

If "085617" does not exist, "00561"
7), but if this is not the case, it will be reduced to "000007" in extreme cases (S6). For example, if the transaction identification symbol is only up to "000159", the winning is a receipt in which the transaction identification symbol of 000017 is described (see the fifth column of the hit symbol in FIG. 13 described below and the margin below it). ). As can be seen, if a receipt with at least 10 transaction identification symbols is issued in a single month, there will always be winners among the customers of that business, and no empty lottery will occur.

FIG. 13 is a table that has been published including the alternative winning and has the same meaning as that shown in FIG. The 14th “HBDG-000617” is “HBDG-78
5617 ”and arrived at“ HBDG-000617 ”, and the details are described in the margin.

That is, although “HBDG” existed, it had only the transaction identification code up to 064328, and
5617 "was a missing number. Therefore, "78561
7 ”does not exist, and“ 085617 ”and“ 00561 ”
That is, "000617" was obtained without "7".

By the way, after "005617" or on the shoulder *
(Aster risk) is attached to “00561”.
"7" is a canceled receipt. What we can see from this is that we have "HBD
The transaction specific symbol on the receipt “G” is, for example, “136473”.
Then, it is natural that “085617” must have existed, and it is funny that “085617” nevertheless does not exist.

Next, since "005617" has been canceled, it has been changed to "000617", but the person who actually holds the receipt is "005617".
If "7" has not been canceled, it can be notified. As mentioned above, the collation symbol is XX due to cancellation.
This is because even if it is replaced with XXXXXXXXX, the presence or absence of “005617” can be confirmed if the managing computer can extract the collation symbol before cancellation.

By the way, if the company symbol is given as follows, the occurrence of empty lottery at the stage of selecting the company symbol can be reduced as much as possible. In block e, it is assumed that the number of trading computers initially deployed was only 6,550. In this case, since the four-digit carrier symbols slightly less than 6,561, which is listed in the n = 9 _-0 in FIG. 23 to be described later, 26 characters of the alphabet letters from "A" to "Z" Instead of "A", "B", "C", "D", "E",
Nine of "F", "G", "H", "I".

The assignment of the company symbol starts with "AAAA", continues with "AAAB", "AAAAC", and then "AAAAI".
, "AABA", "AABB", and "AABC" are assumed. The 6,561st company symbol is "I
I don't want to say that it's III,
The second operator symbol is “IIHG” which is eleventh before. The upper four baskets 15 ₁ , 15 ₂ , 15 ₃ , 1 shown in FIG.
If you take out one of the balls from the 5 _4, the probability is 0.2% out of Karakuji of "IIHG" to "IIII" [=
(6,561-6,550) /6,561=0.00
2].

In the case where the number of affiliated businesses to the system increases to 6,567, "J" is introduced by using ten characters only in the fourth digit. N =
According to _9-1, until increase to 7,290, 9 letter "I" the first digit from the "A", the second digit and the same third digit, 10 characters to the fourth digit Apply Therefore, “AAAJ”, “AABJ”,...
Any of a total of 729 of “AAIJ”, “ABAJ”,..., “IIIJ” is applied. 6,567 is the sixth from 6,562, so "AAFJ"
Will be given. Lottery of case this is, as shown in FIG. 9, it is sufficient to add a ball of "J" to the basket 15 ₄ of the last digit.

As the number of business symbols increases, n =
The number of alphabets to be used may be increased from the lower digit such as sequentially increasing from 9 _-1 to 9 _-3 and n = 10. From the beginning, "AAAA", ..., "AA
"AZ", "AABA", ... "AABZ", ...
-Even if the number of "ZZZZ" is prepared, if the number of operators is only 6,567, the vacancy rate is 98.5%.
(= 26 × 26 × 26 × 26-6,567) / (26 ×
26 × 26 × 26) = (456, 977-6, 567)
/456,976=0.885). In this case, the lottery must be redone.
If a large number of business operators need to be secured, five or six digits may be adopted in advance, but even in this case, as long as the number of business operators is small, use the above procedure. The number of alphabets should be kept small.

14 to FIG. 20, when one type of character (for example, it is represented by ○) is assigned to four character frames (four digits), two types of characters (that is, A case in which five types of characters are applied, such as a case in which a character is applied (indicated by Δ), is shown so that it can be visually grasped. Alphabetical characters such as "BGHD" can be applied to each digit, but it is easier to see using symbols such as □, や す い, and □.

Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIG. ○,
In this example, four digits are formed by four symbols of Δ, □, and ☆, but 3100, 3010, 3001,.
Means that, in the example of 3010, four digits are formed by using three circles and one square. In that case, it is clear that there are only four types of ○, ○, □, and ○. In the example of 0013, it means that four digits are formed by using one □ and three ☆. In that case ☆☆☆ □, ☆☆ □ ☆, ☆ □ ☆
There are only four types of ☆, □ ☆☆☆.

A fraction 4! With a factorial symbol (!) Described above these indications! / 1!・ 1!・ 2! Indicates the number of permutations obtained by using three of any one symbol and one of the other one symbol. Generally speaking, n
When p symbols are the same, q symbols are the same, and r symbols are the same, the total number of permutations formed by these symbols is n! / P!・ Q!・ R! It is expressed as As can be seen, the fractions shown in FIGS. 14 to 20 represent the number of 4-digit symbol groups represented in the combination diagrams.

In the lower part of FIG. 16, 2200, 2020,...
In the column, it can be seen that there are six types in each case. 2110, 2101,... Shown in the upper part of FIG.
In the column of, it can be seen that there are 12 types in each case. FIG. 21 shows a summary of the number of combinations for each of such arrays. It is needless to say that when the number of identical symbols used for four digits is, for example, four, the number of symbol arrays is one. When the number of identical symbols is three and one, the number of symbol arrays is four, and the number of identical symbols is two.
In the case of one and two, it is 6 in FIGS.
As you can see.

Regardless of the type of symbol, the general formula representing the number Ω when four symbols are selected using n symbols is:
It can be expressed as Expression (1) in FIG. 22 in which each display at the bottom of FIG. 21 is multiplied by the number of symbol arrays and added. Incidentally, the expression (1) can be summarized as follows: n × n × n
× n, which is consistent with the result simply obtained as the number of combinations generated by inserting n symbols for each digit.

It is also understood that the above-mentioned business operator symbols can exist by the number according to the equation (1), and that the combination form is the number shown in each term. If the alphabet is assigned to the symbol, the above-mentioned "BGHD"
For example, the business symbol of the alphabet display can be generated. 23 and 24 show specific numbers. It also shows the maximum possible vacancy rate depending on the number of operators.

As described above, a total of 24 winning transaction symbols based on “BGHD-785617” are searched by the managing computer. For example, when the winning “BGHD” does not exist, or in FIG. When the same character is present in the four digits as shown in (1) and a duplicate win is made, the following processing makes it easier to find an alternative win.

Assume that "BDGH" is a missing number.
Since this missing number may be a vacant number due to the shortage of the number of operators, if you change the fourth digit, the operator symbol still does not exist or you will reach the latest registered operator symbol More opportunities to become. In this case, there is no guarantee that there will be no business operators who will wait for participation in the system, so the first letter will be reversed, for example. FIG. 25 shows the processing procedure. By the way, when going back to A, if the number of characters is 9, go to I and the number of characters is 2
In the case of 6, circulation may be performed such as to move to Z (see S11 to S18).

By the way, as the lottery symbol,
There are cases where two characters overlap as shown in FIG. In this case, there are only 12 patterns even if rearranged. Therefore,
The concept of the case of FIG. 25 is adopted, and the alternative business operator symbols described in the center of FIG. The presence or absence of the corresponding transaction symbol is confirmed based on this, and the procedure follows FIGS. 12 and 25.

When the number of duplicate characters is 3, the substitute symbol is changed as shown in FIG. The final winning symbol in this case is as described in the rightmost column of the figure. This 24
Based on the street, the corresponding transaction symbol is found by the procedure shown in FIGS. FIG. 28 shows a case where all four characters are the same. In this case, a non-applicable business operator symbol may appear one after another. However, since the probability that four identical characters are arranged is very low, there is no need to worry. However, the same applies to the case of FIG. 27 and the like. However, if some or all of FIG. 28 is unfortunately not applicable, countermeasures such as a double prize or a lottery may be taken again.

At the lottery hall, for example, "BGHD-7856
17 ”is input to the managing computer immediately after the number is output, the presence or absence of the winning receipt, the final winning transaction symbol, and the prize amount are output without performing any of the above-described operations or searching in a long time. Will be.

As can be seen from the above description, when there is no transaction symbol that seems to be won, the managing computer allows the management computer to select an alternative winning transaction symbol by searching, and announces the transaction symbol that did not exist. (See margins in FIG. 13) If possible, it would be highly expected that consumers and businesses would be more sensitive to transactions and would not hide or forget sales. This is because it is possible to point out an error that is missing in the managing computer despite the existence of the receipt, and the business operator can check it voluntarily.

By the way, in FIG. 13, the fifth “BD”
GH-000017 ”winners see the“ BDG ”
You might wonder if the H office had just over 17 deals in April. However, "BDGH-0
Given that “00617” did not exist,
The business may have had up to 616 transactions.

In the case of the 14th "HBDG-000617", there may have been a maximum of 5616 customers if this number alone is viewed. However, "HBDG-00561"
The number of transactions may have been 85,616 because the number "7" is marked with an asterisk to indicate that the number is missing due to the missing number. Therefore, even if it is 14th even though it is 5th,
From the winning number, the number of transactions at the establishment is not exactly known to the general public.

Since the secrets of the business scale and the like are not disclosed except by the national tax authorities, it may be considered that there is no adverse effect on the business development. On the other hand, only the fact that the consumer holds the receipt remains, not more than the purchase history of the buyer.

The business symbol indicates that no matter what is assigned, there is no loss and no matter what time the consumer buys, the winning probability does not change. The only thing that can be said is that if you buy at a store with a small number of transactions, you will be more likely to win than at a store with a large number of transactions. It is hoped that the introduction of this system to small shops will progress, and that a nationwide system can be constructed relatively early.

If this system were to penetrate, customers would be far away from shops without the application of consumption tax betting. They will also not go to stores that do not have the habit of issuing receipts.
In order to avoid this, all businesses will be active in adopting this system, and will be able to collect error-free consumption tax from each company. Of course, the act of hiding business income is also prevented, which greatly contributes to the collection of income tax and the like.

[0103]

According to the present invention, the provision of the trading computer and the managing computer enables the national tax authorities to accurately grasp the actual situation of the transactions of each business, and to pay the consumption tax. Is promoted. Each computer stores, transmits and calculates data suitable for a consumption tax lot, so that the winning lottery announcement is accurate and reliable. Since the store that issued the receipt is also clear, it is less likely to leave a winning ticket, and the business situation can be followed with the cooperation of consumers. In addition, businesses will also be rewarded with the introduction of this system, and will benefit all countries, businesses and consumers.

If the mid computer is installed between the trading computer and the managing computer in one or more stages, double storage of transaction data and smooth data communication can be realized. In addition, even if it is involved in various computer troubles, the repair becomes easy.

If the date and time of payment receipt is used as the verification symbol, it is possible to confirm the authenticity of the winning very easily.

When the consumption tax amount described in the receipt exceeds a predetermined limit, a plurality of transaction specific symbols are given to it, so that the prize money can be easily budgeted and framed. Operation becomes possible, and it becomes easier to obtain public support.

If the winning transaction symbol is determined by a public lottery, fairness can be maintained. If the transaction symbol determined by the lottery does not exist, if the managing computer selects an alternative transaction symbol, the occurrence of empty lottery can be avoided as much as possible, and consumers will not be expected to be expected. Less. In addition, when the alternative transaction symbol is assigned, if the transaction symbol that has become a candidate up to that point is also announced, it is easier for the consumer to contribute to the determination of the validity of the transaction data.

If the business symbol is made up of a plurality of digits or letters and it does not exist in the winning transaction symbol, the head letters or numbers can be sequentially replaced until the relevant business symbol appears. It becomes easier to find the winning business symbol. The same is true for the transaction identification code. In any case, even if a receipt that intentionally targets a region, a time zone, or the like is obtained, it is possible to prevent any special profit from being generated. You can ensure that there is no benefit to obtaining an artificial receipt. It can be said that there will be no regional disparity in winning probability.
