That is, an odds information display screen is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the race information display screen 30 has an information display section divided into 21 rows and 40 rows, and displays information in units of each section.

In this case, each information is edited according to the procedure shown in FIG.
The screen display processing unit 46 includes a plurality of popular bands (in this example, the first popular bands 31 to 4 in the horizontal direction within the width of the upper half of the screen (13 rows from the top)). In addition to creating and displaying the popular band 34 (color-coded) (S101), the odds information stored in the odds information storage unit 42 and the number of runners or the information indicating the width of the odds value for each popular band (hereinafter referred to as odds) (Value width) is calculated and displayed in the leftmost position of each band (the first column from the first column to the third column). The color of the first popular band 31 is displayed with a darker color at the top and a lighter color as the color falls to the lower popular band. For example, the first popular band 31 is a yamabuki color, the second popular band 32 is a lemon color, the third popular band 33 is a skin color, and the fourth popular band 34 is a light yellow color.

In this case, the first popular band 31 to the fourth popular band 34 are each created with a width of three vertical sections. The odds range is, for example, 1 to 9 times for the first popular band 31, 10 to 19 times for the second popular band 32, 20 to 49 times for the third popular band 33, and 50 times or more for the fourth popular band 34. And is displayed in each band.
The method for obtaining the odds value range is to read out the odds value range (1 to 9 times, 10 to 19 times, 20 to 49 times, 50 times or more) of each popular band set in advance in a fixed value in a memory or the like. There is a method in which the top four horses are calculated based on the odds value of the running horse so that the top four horses enter the first popular zone 31 based on the variation in the odds value of each race.

When calculating the odds value width by calculation, the following procedure is used.
First, the screen display processing unit 46 checks the number of runners from the odds information stored in the odds information storage unit 42.

  The screen display processing unit 46 sets the odds value width of the popular band color as a broadly divided order. The screen display processing unit 46 repeats this for the popular band colors.

  That is, the screen display processing unit 46 extracts the top five odds values from the number of runners and sets the odds value width to be inserted into the first popular zone 31. In this case, the ranking is 2.2 times, 6.5 times, 8.4 times, 8.5 times, 11.6 from the most popular. As the upper limit value of the first popular band 31, a numerical value “1” is set in the memory in advance. In addition, since the lower limit of the first popular zone 31 includes the top four places, a numerical value between 8.5 times the fourth place and 11.6 times the fifth place is set in the memory. In this case, for example, “9” is set as the lower limit value of the first popular zone 31 and “10” is set as the upper limit value of the second popular zone 32 in the memory. As a result, the value of “1” to “9” is set in the memory for the first popular band 31, and the value of “10” is set in the memory for the upper limit value of the second popular band 32.

Subsequently, the screen display processing unit 46 extracts the odds values from the fifth place to the ninth place from the number of running heads and inserts them into the second popular band 32 in the same manner as described above, that is, the second popular band 32. The lower limit value and the upper limit value of the third popular zone 33 are determined.
This calculation is performed from the second popular band 32 to the upper limit value of the fourth popular band 34, and the lower limit value of the fourth popular band 34 is displayed by inserting “above”, “˜”, etc. after the obtained upper limit value. . In this case, since the upper limit value of the fourth popular zone 34 is “50”, the odds value range is displayed as 50˜.

  The screen display processing unit 46 calculates the high value that reaches the relevant popularity band from the odds value (22.3 times) of the first horse number (1) of the starting horse running in the target race stored in the odds information storage unit 42. In addition to generating the graph, the ranking (11) among the running horses is displayed at the top of the graph (S102). Thereafter, this is repeated until the last horse number (12).

The screen display processing unit 46 reads out the horse name corresponding to the horse number from the horse race table storage unit 44, and displays it in the lower column of the corresponding bar graph by color-coding it into popular horses and other horses (S103). In this case, the popular horse is a horse set (displayed) in the first popular zone 31.
The screen display processing unit 46 reads the previous result (previous run result) of each horse from the result information stored in the result information storage unit 43 and displays it in the lower column (21st line) of the corresponding horse name (S104). ).

  The screen display processing unit 46 calculates the weight of the horse at the previous start of each horse from the result information stored in the result information storage unit 43 and the horse weight of the current start horse stored in the start table storage unit 44. The weight difference is obtained and displayed in the lower column (20th line) of the corresponding horse name (S105). In addition, as long as the display space permits, for example, pedigree parents can be displayed.

  As described above, according to the race information display system of this embodiment, the horse names, bar graphs indicating the order of popularity, cap colors, weight differences from the previous run, and the like are displayed in a list in correspondence with the horse numbers of the running horses running in the race. By displaying the race information display screen 30 on the large monitor 5, a user who intends to purchase a voting ticket or a user who anticipates a winning horse can visually recognize a popular horse. . Further, by displaying the previous run order on the race information display screen 30, the ability and popularity of the horse can be established. Combining the bar graph and horse name to inform the popularity, the effect of increasing the name recognition of the horse from the beginning of the first run.

In addition to the odds, by displaying the horse name, the previous run result, and the pedigree parents in association with each other, it is possible to provide timely information as a measure for the user to improve the popularity and ability of the horse.
By narrowing down the horses in the most popular band to about 1 to 4 horses, for example, and changing the odds value range according to the distribution state of the odds magnification, the user always has the top 1 to 4 horses. The horses can be easily identified, and it becomes easy to purchase a voting ticket in a box.
Regarding the popular band, it is possible to easily distinguish the difference in popularity by always distributing horses in each band color.

  In the above embodiment, an example of a 12-head race has been described. In this case, since the display portion on the right side is vacant, odds such as a series of frames, double wins, etc. are displayed in this area (margin). Anyway. Also, in the case of a horizontally long screen such as 16: 9 instead of an aspect ratio of 4: 3, more information can be displayed because a margin is formed in the horizontal direction.
