Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems that a crossed horse is difficult to be identified when the same ancestor appears on a pedigree table (this is called 'cross'), as the horse is described with a special description, because parents, grandparents, great-grand parents have the same descriptions and incorrect data can be registered. SOLUTION: The pedigree table in which solely the cross horse is especially described is obtained by discriminating a horse to be specially described from a horse requiring no discrimination by using a data base in which at least name, year of birth, sex, father's name, year of birth, mother's name and year of birth are registered. In registering data, a mishit is prevented by bringing a female horse not to be registered as a father horse or a male horse is not registered as a mother horse, verifying the year of birth of the registered horse to be later than that of the parents and discriminating concordance of the family number of the registered horse with that of the mother horse.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a program processing method for displaying a pedigree table of a thoroughbred (racehorse) on a personal computer, a home-use game machine, a WEB site, etc., and particularly to a pedigree display processing method and additional data registration. Regarding processing method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a method of displaying a thoroughbred pedigree table using a conventional database, for example, in software commercially available for personal computers, the name, year of birth, and sex of a selected horse are entered and registered. The name of the father of the selected horse, the year of birth, the name of the mother of the selected horse, the year of birth, etc. are searched by referring to the selected database, the father and mother are identified, and then the parents of the father and the parents of the mother are sequentially ordered. Identify. The data of the ancestors to be displayed are prepared by repeating the above calculation, and in the text of "World's Famous Horse 5th Pedigree Table" issued on October 26, 1999 by Horse Racing News Agency,
For example, the fifth generation pedigree table as shown on page 48 can be automatically displayed. Here, the parents are the first generation, and the grandparents are two.
The 1st generation and great-grandparents are referred to as the 3rd generation. A pedigree table displaying up to the third generation is called a third pedigree table. Generally, the 5th pedigree table that displays up to the 5th generation is often used. In the notation, the target horse for which the pedigree is displayed is displayed in the central part of the pedigree table, or the first parent is displayed in the center of each second parent as in the above-mentioned "World 5 Horse Pedigree Table". Some have. An example of such software is "horse horse W".

[0003] Some of the information services provided on horse racing games for home-use game machines and WEB servers on the Internet also display pedigree tables using the same method.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When the same ancestor appears on a pedigree table, this is referred to as a cross, and the ancestor is called a cross horse. Cross or cross horses are distinguished by changing the color of the characters in the pedigree table or by notating the font in italics or emphasizing. In the first place, having the same ancestor means that the influence of the heredity of the horse becomes stronger, and the possibility of transmission of the gene of the horse increases, and it is clear which horse is a cross horse. In order to do this, notations such as coloring and italics are used.

The influence of inheritance on parents and ancestors of cross horses naturally becomes stronger, but since the influence is considered to be concentrated on cross horses, parents of cross horses are used for cross horses so as not to be confused with cross horses. It is desirable to process so as not to use the same notation.

FIG. 7 is a fifth generation pedigree of a horse called Fusaichi Concord according to a conventional processing method, and a target horse whose pedigree is to be displayed is displayed on the outer upper part of the pedigree.

The pedigree table is divided into five columns, and the first column from the left is the first generation, and thereafter, the right direction is the ancestor and the fifth column is the fifth generation. That is, the father of the target horse in the 1st stage of the 1st generation
The same mother is displayed in the second row, the father of the target horse, the mother of the same father, the father of the same mother, the mother of the same mother are displayed from the first generation of the second generation, and the third generation 1
3 consecutive fathers from the third stage to the second father's mother ...
The third generation mother is displayed in the eighth generation, and some of it is omitted from now on, but 62 horses in total including the fourth generation mother's father in the fifth generation 31st generation and the fifth generation mother in the fifth generation 32nd generation. The name is displayed.

In the pedigree chart of the same figure, the third generation from the first to the third generation father, the third generation from the fourth to the fourth generation, the mother's father's father
The same horse, Northern Dancer. The fourth generation from the top to the seventh stage, the father's mother's mother's father, and the fifth generation's lower to the 12th stage, the mother's father's mother's father's father are the same horses called Hail to Reason. The Northern Dancer and Hail to Reason are cross horses and are shown separately from normal horses.

However, in addition to the above two heads, in addition to the 4th generation, the 1st to 2nd, 8th and 9th stages from the top, and the 5th to 1st to 4th and 17th stages from the top 12 in total
The same notation as cross horses is used for each part.

[0010] These are Nearctic, the father of the Cross Dance Northern Dancer, and Natalma, and their parents, and their parents. These horses were not written specially unless there were other crosses, but the Nearctic color was changed.

This is because if an ancestor with the same name appears in a horse that is simply selected, it will be given a special notation like the cross horse. In this way, it became difficult to know which horse was a true cross horse.

In addition, when adding new data to the database for creating a pedigree table, there is a problem that even if wrong data is entered, it can be registered. Extremely speaking, the horse child who registers the data can be registered as his / her own parent, so there is a high risk that the important parent-child relationship for calibrating the pedigree table will be destroyed and the entire database will be messed up. As a result, there was a fear that a logically contradictory pedigree table would be created.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pedigree table in which only cross horses have a special notation and parents of cross horses can be displayed in ordinary notation. Another object of the present invention is to prevent erroneous data on sex and parent-child relationship from being registered when new data is added to the database for creating a pedigree table.

[0014]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

First, an outline of the pedigree table preparation processing method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, 1 is a control program related to pedigree table creation processing, 2 is a database in which parent-child relationship data is registered for each registered horse, 3 is a horse name input process for creating a pedigree table, and 4 is a pedigree table An algebraic input step for creating a pedigree table, 5 a horse group data reference buffer for creating a pedigree table, 6 a horse data reference buffer for a pedigree table, 7 a pedigree table creation table, 8 a cross horse display processing step, Reference numeral 9 indicates a pedigree table display processing step.

Control program 1 related to pedigree table creation processing
Is a control program related to pedigree table creation processing and new data registration, and is a program for controlling each of the blocks 2 to 9 and the overall configuration.

When the pedigree table is displayed, the name of the horse for which the pedigree table is created is input in 3 and the algebra of how many pedigree tables are created is input in 4. In response to this, the control program 1 refers to the database 2 in which parent-child relationship data is registered for each registered horse. Here, the database 2 is searched to obtain parent-child relationship data relating to the selected horse, and the data is input to the horse data reference buffer 5 for creating a pedigree table. Next, each data of the parents obtained from the parent-child relationship data of the selected horse is input to the data reference buffer 6 of the horse group related to the pedigree table. After the first-generation parents are input, the data is sequentially input to the buffer 6 in the order of the second-generation paternal parents and the second-generation maternal parents. The number, horse name, year of birth, family number, etc. are sequentially input to the pedigree table creation table 7 in order, starting with the data of the horse selected from each of the buffers. The control program 1 determines whether or not the algebra for creating a pedigree table has been reached, and continues or terminates the acquisition of the parent data described above. When it is determined that the control program 1 has reached the algebra for creating the pedigree table, the process proceeds to the pedigree display processing step 9,
According to the number accumulated in the pedigree table, the pedigree table is assigned to the area of which generation and in which tier, horse name, year of birth,
Family numbers, etc. are sequentially output as needed and the pedigree table is displayed.

Further, a cross horse display processing step 8 is performed subsequent to the pedigree display processing step 9. Cross horse display processing step 8
Then, the horse name and birth year data accumulated in the pedigree table creation table 7 are calculated by a combination of parent-child relationships for each pair, and there is a horse of the same ancestry in the parental line of the selected horse, and It is calculated whether the children of the same ancestor horse may be different, and the horse corresponding to this is determined to be a cross horse. When a cross horse exists in the pedigree table according to the calculation result, the display data of the cross horse is processed differently from the normal notation.

Here, the result of performing the cross horse display processing step 8 may be accumulated in the pedigree table creation table 7 and then collectively processed to display the pedigree table.

If it is determined that the horse in which the name of the horse for which the pedigree table is created is input does not exist in the database 2 in 3, the control program 1 shifts to a new registration mode in which the input horse is registered in the database 2. Can be selected. In the new registration mode, parent-child relationship data for each registered horse that conforms to the data format of the database 2 is created and stored in the data reference buffer 5. Here, the database 2 is searched to obtain the data of the parent relating to the horse to be newly registered, and the data is stored in the data reference buffer 6. From the data stored in the data reference buffers 5 and 6, the birth year, sex,
Verify the input data of the horse to be newly registered by comparing the family numbers. Based on the verification result, only newly registered data that is logically correct is registered in the data database 2.

If the father or mother data set in the new registration mode does not exist in the database 2, the unregistered horse needs to be newly registered.
Here, the parents of the newly registered horse may be the founder.

In addition, after registering new data by the control program 1, the data stored in the data reference buffers 5 and 6 is transferred to the pedigree table creation table 7, and the pedigree table is re-started from the process of obtaining the first generation of parental mare data. The creation mode can be continuously entered.

In the present specification, the family number includes hundreds and ten mares of the thoroughbred maternal line that can be reached by following generations of mothers, and is provided to identify the mares that correspond to these limited ancestors. It is a number used for distinguishing females.

Next, details of the pedigree table processing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the pedigree table processing method according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a cross display processing procedure of the pedigree table processing method according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the pedigree table creation table and the display position in the pedigree table of the pedigree table processing method according to the present invention, and shows the case of the fifth generation pedigree table as an example.

First, the overall procedure of the pedigree table processing method will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and 3, Y represents YES and N represents NO. First, select whether or not to display the pedigree table (S201). When displaying the pedigree table (YES in S201), the horse name is input (S202).
The entered horse name is the pedigree table creation table number [0].
It is saved in the array and it is searched whether the data on the input horse name is registered in the database (S203). That is, in the pedigree table creation table arranged as shown in FIG. 4 (a), regarding the registered horse of the horse name input to display the pedigree table in the array [0] of the number shown in the leftmost column of FIG. The data is saved. That is, the horse name, year of birth, sex, family number of registered horse, father's name of registered horse, father's year of birth, father's family number, mother's name, mother's year of birth, mother's family number is an array of numbers [0]. Save to (YES in S203).

Although not shown, if there are a plurality of data registered with the same horse name, the step of inputting the year of birth of the horse and specifying the horse to be displayed in the pedigree table is provided.

When not displaying the pedigree table (NO in S201),
And, if the data is not registered (NO in S203), it is selected whether to newly register the data (S212). If the data has been registered (YES in S203), enter up to what generation the pedigree table should be displayed (S204).

Next, the maximum number of horses displayed in the pedigree table and the maximum number of executions of the pedigree display processing are calculated (S205).
Assuming that the number of ancestors displayed here is n, the number Pmax1 of horses displayed is represented by the following formula.

[0042]

[Equation 1]

The pedigree table display processing count Pmax2 is expressed by the following equation.

[0044]

[Equation 2]

Next, the processing pointer P is initialized to P = 0 (S206). P is a pointer performing processing,
P = 0: Horse with pedigree display, P = 1: Father of horse with pedigree display, P = 2: Homologous, P = 3: Father of the same father (second father), P = 4: Mother of the same father ... and P = Pmax1: sequentially defined up to the Nth generation mother.

Next, referring to the data array of the horse displaying the pedigree table, the name of the father of the horse who displays the pedigree table, father's birth year, father's family number, mother's name, mother's birth year, mother's family number Is acquired (S207). The data of the father's name, the father's birth year, and the father's family number are stored in the respective data fields of the sequence of the number [P × 2 + 1] in the pedigree table preparation table. Similarly, each data of mother's name, mother's year of birth, and mother's family number is the number in the pedigree table creation table [P × 2 +
The data is stored in each data column of the sequence [2] (S207). That is, in the pedigree table creation table arranged as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the above-mentioned father of the horse name input to display the pedigree table in the array [1] with the number shown in the leftmost column of FIG. Each data is saved. Further, the above-mentioned respective data of the mother of the horse name input to display the pedigree table are stored in the sequence of the number [2].

Next, 1 is added to the processing pointer P (S20
8). Then, it is determined whether the value obtained by adding 1 to P is larger than Pmax2 (S209), and if it is equal or smaller (NO in S209),
Returning to step 207 (S207), the data of the father's parents is acquired from the database this time. Below processing pointer value P
Until the data exceeds Pmax2, the data of parents are acquired. Next, when the processing pointer value P becomes larger than Pmax2 (S209
YES), the data such as horse name, year of birth, and family number saved in the pedigree table creation table number [P] (P is an integer from 0 to Pmax1) obtained in the above processing step It is assigned to a predetermined place and displayed (S210).
That is, according to the numbers shown in the leftmost column of FIG. 4A, the data arranged as shown in FIG. 4A is coordinate [P] (P is an integer from 0 to Pmax1 in the pedigree table in this example, Then 5
It is assigned and displayed for Pmax1 = 62) because it is a pedigree table. Pedigree display horse is displayed in the upper left part outside the table with P = 0, and father of the pedigree display horse is displayed with P = 1 in the first column and the first row from the left of the table. Is displayed in the 5th column and 32nd row from the left. Further, it is determined whether a cross has occurred (S211), and if a cross has occurred, the cross horse is displayed in a special notation, and the process ends.

Note that the above is an example of reducing the number of times of processing of the program, but when the reduction of the data amount is emphasized, for example, the data of each family number of the parent horse is deleted from the item (field) of the database, and step 207
When the parent data is acquired in (S207), step 203 (S20
From the data sequence of the horse displaying the pedigree table referred to in 3) and saved, the name of the parent of the horse displaying the pedigree table and the birth year in some cases are referred to, and each database is searched to identify the parent horse.
A method of reading the data stored in the database and inputting the data into the pedigree table data table may be used. In this case, in step 209 (S209), calculation is performed until Pmax1 is exceeded, and then the pedigree table display processing (S210) is performed. Further, in the example of FIG. 4B, the sixth column from the left is provided, and it is possible to display the fifth column, that is, other data regarding each horse of the fifth generation, for example, the family number. This is the pedigree table number [3
The data of each family number is read out from the data stored in the array of [1] to [62], and the data of [6] in FIG.
3] to [94] may be displayed on the pedigree table coordinates.

On the other hand, when not displaying the pedigree table (in S201
For NO, confirm whether you want to newly register or not (Y in S212).
S), enter the name, year of birth, sex, and family number of the horse to be registered (S213), and use the pedigree table creation table to set the data of the horse name, year of birth, sex, and family number of number [0], respectively. Save to.

Next, in step 214 (S214), the father's horse name, year of birth, sex, and family number are stored in the horse name, year of birth, sex, and family number sequence of number [1] in the pedigree table creation table, respectively. The mother's horse name, year of birth, sex, and family number in the table number [2]
Save in the horse name, year of birth, sex and family number sequence.

Here, in order not to register wrong data, the birth year of the horse to be newly registered, that is, the birth year data of the number [0] in the pedigree table creation table is the birth year of the father, that is, the birth year of the number [1] in the table. It is determined whether it is larger than the data value (S215). Similarly, the birth year of the mother, that is, the value of the birth year data of the number [2] in the table is also compared (S216). Since the child is always born later than the parent, the value of the birth year data of the number [0] in the table is always larger than the value of the birth year data of the numbers [1] and [2]. As a result, horses born after themselves cannot be registered with parents, so the frequency of registering incorrect data can be reduced.

Next, it is determined whether the value of the sex of the father, that is, the sex data of the pedigree table creation table number [1] is a male (S217), and similarly, the birth of the mother, that is, the table number [2] of the mother. Determine whether the value of the gender data is female (S21
8). For example, 0 if the gender data is unknown in the database, 1 for males, 2 for females, and 3 for senma.
Register as. Also when the new data is registered, it is determined whether the registered value of the sex in the father horse data area is 1 or the registered value of the sex in the mother horse data area is 2. Since it is biologically impossible for a mare or a stallion (castrated horse) to become a father, it is possible to reduce the frequency of registering incorrect data. Similarly, since a stallion or a stallion cannot be the mother, the frequency of registering incorrect data can be reduced.

Further, it is determined whether or not the family number of the horse to be newly registered, that is, the family number [0], matches the family number of the mother, that is, the family number [2] (S219). A family number is a number that is traced back to the Thoroughbred mother's mother's mother and mother's lineage, and is numbered because there are only hundreds of ancestors. . Conversely, if there is no family number, it is called Sarah and is to be distinguished from Thoroughbreds. Therefore, the family number is inherited from the mother, and if the family number is different, it cannot be the mother. This can reduce the frequency of registering incorrect data.

Step 215 (S215) to step 21
If all the checks up to 9 (S219) can be cleared (S2
15 to S219 are all YES), and you can newly register in the database (S220). If you cannot clear even one (S215
~ At least one in S219 is NO), and it is selected whether or not to perform new registration (S221).
Return to (S213) and repeat the registration process. If not to be redone, the process ends (S224).

When the newly registered data is displayed as it is (S222), it is displayed (YE in S222).
In S), the processing pointer P is set to 1 (S223), the parent data acquisition process (S207) is performed, and thereafter, the above-described pedigree table creation processing is performed in a predetermined order to display the pedigree table. When the pedigree table is not displayed, the process ends (S224).

If not newly registered (N in S212,
O), the processing ends.

Next, the cross display processing (S211) of FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. After the pedigree table display process of FIG. 2 is completed, the process is started from START of FIG. 3, the process pointer P is initialized to 1 (S301), and the counter i is incremented by 2 to the value 1 of P and set to 3. (S302). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the horse name [P] and the horse name [i] are different (S303). That is, horse name data having numbers [P] and [i] (initially numbers 1 and 3) in the pedigree table creation table are stored in a temporary storage area such as the data reference buffer 6 and compared with each other.

If each horse name is different, the counter i
To +2 (S304). Adding 2 to the counter i means always comparing the names of males or females. Crosses do not occur because the same horse can only be used by males or females. Therefore,
Since it is not necessary to compare and distinguish males and females, the processing can be streamlined.

If the counter i does not exceed Pmax1 (NO in S305), the process returns to step 303 (S303) to continue the processing. When Pmax1 or more (YES in S305), the processing pointer P is incremented by 1 and the horse to be compared is changed to the next horse (S306). Then, if the value of the processing pointer P is larger than Pmax1 (YES in S307), it means that the last horse displayed in the pedigree table has been confirmed, and the processing ends. If they are smaller than or equal to each other (NO in S307), the counter i is set to P + 2 (S30
8) Return to step 303 (S303) to continue the processing.

If the horse name data match in step 303 (YES in S303), it is determined whether the year of birth [P] and the year of birth [i] are different (S310). That is, the birth year data having the numbers [P] and [i] in the pedigree table creation table are stored in a temporary storage area such as a data reference buffer and compared with each other. If the horse name is the same but the year of birth is different (S310
Since YES is a different horse, processing to increment the counter by 2 (S
Return to 304).

If the name and the year of birth match, it is determined that they are the same horse (NO in S310), then it is determined whether the processing pointer P is an odd number, and if P is an odd number (YES in S311), the constants A and B are set. The calculation is performed by defining (Expression 3) and (Expression 4).

A = (P−1) / 2 ... (Equation 3)

B = (i−1) / 2 ... (Equation 4)

If P is an even number (NO in S311), the constants A and B are defined as (Equation 5) and (Equation 6) and calculated.

A = (P−2) / 2 ... (Equation 5)

B = (i−2) / 2 ... (Equation 6)

A and B are pointer values of respective children of horses determined to be the same horse. Step 314 (S31
In 4), horse name [A] and horse name [B], that is, horse name data corresponding to pedigree table creation table numbers [A] and [B], are stored in a temporary storage area, such as the data reference buffer 6, respectively. And determine if they are different. If the horse names are different (YES in S314), the horses of horse name [P] and horse name [i] are in a cross relationship because the children are different horses.

If the horse names are the same (NO in S314), the year-of-year [A] and the year-of-year [B] are different, that is, the year-of-year data corresponding to the pedigree table creation table numbers [A] and [B], respectively, in the data reference buffer. Save the data in the temporary storage area such as 6 and compare them to determine if they are different. If each birth year data is different, it is a different horse, so horse name [P] and horse name [i]
The horses are in a cross relationship. If the year of birth [A] and the year of birth [B] are the same (NO in S316), the child or its descendants are already in a cross relationship, so step 304
Return to the process of (S304).

When a cross relationship occurs (S314
YES in step S316 or YES in step S316), horse name [P] and horse name [i] are specially written (S315). The special notation is a process in which the character style or typeface indicating the horse name of the cross horse is set to a notation different from that of the normal horse, or a dot, a diagonal line, or a frame line is added to the background portion of the character, and then step 304 (S304). ) And continue processing until the predetermined condition is satisfied.

Although not shown, when a cross relationship is generated by the above calculation processing (YES in S314 or YES in S316), the cross obtained by horse name [P] and horse name [i] is obtained. The horse can be displayed on a part of the pedigree display screen. As an example of the display method, it is calculated from the horses displayed from the number of crossed horses which generation of which family is the parent, and if it is a crossed horse of (4th generation of paternal line) and (5th generation of maternal line), "4 x 5 ”is displayed. Similarly, in the case of a cross horse of (4th generation of paternal line) and (5th generation of paternal line), "4
* 5 (paternal line) "is displayed. It is also possible to provide a cross column in the pedigree table creation table for the above results, store predetermined data in the cross columns of the table numbers [P] and [i], and display the data by referring to this data.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a fifth generation pedigree table according to the pedigree table creation processing method of the present invention. In the same figure, as in FIG. 7, a pedigree display of a horse called Fusaichi Concorde is shown.

That is, as described above, as a result of inputting “Fusaichi Concorde” as a horse name and “5” as to how many generations to display the pedigree table, as shown in FIG.
A pedigree table is created and displayed.

Further, in FIG. 5, Northern D appears as a cross horse in the third generation first stage in the paternal line and in the third generation fifth stage in the maternal line
Two horses, an ancer, and the fourth generation 7th stage in the paternal line and the 5th generation 21st stage in the mother line, Hail to Reason, are shown separately from normal horses. In this example, the horse name representing the cross horse and the typeface of the year of birth are italicized, and dots or lines with a predetermined ratio are added to the background of the characters. The method of distinguishing from a normal horse and expressing it can be realized by other display methods. By using the identification elements other than the characters and the color of the background as described above, the cross horse can be accurately displayed even in monochrome display or monochrome printing.

Further, according to the pedigree table processing method of the present invention, Nearctic of the 4th generation 1st stage, the 4th generation 9th stage, which is the father of the cross horse Northern Dancer, and also Northe.
It can be seen that the 4th generation 2nd stage, the 4th generation 10th stage Natalma and their parents, who are the mothers of rn Dancer, can have the same notation as other horses that are not crossed. Similarly, the parents of the cross horse Hail to Reason can be processed correctly as well.

Next, as an example of a horse having a complicated pedigree composition, FIG. 6 shows a fifth generation pedigree table of El Condor Passer.

In this case, the crossed horse appears in the 4th generation 5th stage in the paternal line and in the 3rd generation 5th stage in the maternal line Northern
Dancer, 4th generation 1st step in paternal line and 5th generation 19th step in maternal line Native Dancer, 4th generation 6th step in paternal line and 4th generation 12th step in maternal line Special, 5th generation 11th step and maternal line in paternal line At 4th generation 15th stage and 5th generation 23rd stage Fo
rli, Thong appearing in the 5th generation 12th stage in the paternal line, and 4th generation 16th stage and the 5th generation 24th stage in the maternal line are 5 in total.

As described above, the parents of the Northern Dancer, such as Nearctic and Natalma, do not cross, so they are expressed in normal notation. Forli and Thong are crossed
Lisadel, who is the parent of Special
Since they are also parents of l, they are crossed and expressed in a special notation. By using the processing method of the present invention, even a horse having such a pedigree structure can accurately display only a cross horse.
