  Hereinafter, first and second embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiment, a case will be described in which the present invention is applied to a betting ticket issuing device in which a purchaser determines application contents.

(First embodiment)
First, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the structure of the ticket issuing apparatus 100 by 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The ticket issuing device 100 is installed at a voting ticket sales window where the purchaser decides the application content, and is operated by a staff member.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the ticket issuing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment discharges an insertion slot 1 into which an application form (mark card) and a voting ticket are inserted, and an application form and a voting ticket inserted into the insertion slot 1. There are provided a discharge port 2 and a ticketing port 3 from which a voting ticket is issued. The insertion port 1 is an example of the “first insertion port” and the “second insertion port” in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the ticket issuing apparatus 100 includes a transport unit 4, a ticket surface reading unit 5, a ticket issuing unit 6, a display unit 7, a touch panel 8, a communication unit 9, a storage unit 10, and a control. Part 11. The ticket surface reading unit 5 is an example of the “first reading unit” and the “second reading unit” in the present invention.

  The transport unit 4 transports the application form and the voting ticket inserted from the insertion port 1 to the discharge port 2. The ticket reading unit 5 functions as an OMR (Optical Mark Reader: optical mark reading unit) for reading the application contents written on the ticket face of the application form, and reads the barcode written on the ticket face of the voting ticket. It functions as a barcode reader. Therefore, the ticket surface reading unit 5 reads the application content written on the application form conveyed by the conveyance unit 4 and also reads the information recorded on the voting ticket conveyed by the conveyance unit 4. The ticket surface reading unit 5 also functions as an OCR (Optical Character Reader) for reading character information written on the ticket surface of the voting ticket.

  The ticket issuing unit 6 has a printing unit and the like, and issues a voting ticket based on the application content of the application form read by the ticket surface reading unit 5. The ticket issuing unit 6 is configured to issue a voting ticket based on the information of the voting ticket read by the ticket reading unit 5.

  The display unit 7 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays a collation result indicating whether or not the voting ticket inserted from the insertion slot 1 is correct. The touch panel 8 is provided on the display area of the display unit 7 and receives an operation command from an attendant. The communication unit 9 communicates with the host computer 151 via the network 150.

  The storage unit 10 stores information read by the ticket surface reading unit 5 and the like. The control unit 11 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and controls the operation of the ticket issuing device 100.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 1-13, operation | movement of the ticket issuing apparatus 100 by 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. Each step in the flowchart of FIG. 3 is executed by the control unit 11 (see FIG. 2).

  First, in the ticket issuing apparatus 100, it is determined in step S1 of FIG. 3 whether or not an application form has been inserted into the insertion slot 1 (see FIG. 1). The determination as to whether or not the application form has been inserted is made based on the detection result of a sensor (not shown) provided in the vicinity of the insertion slot 1. If it is determined that the application form has been inserted into the insertion slot 1, the process proceeds to step S2. In this case, a ticket issuing operation using the application form is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the application form has not been inserted into the insertion slot 1, the process proceeds to step S8.

  Next, in step S <b> 2, the application form is taken in via the insertion slot 1 by the transport unit 4 (see FIG. 2). In step S3, the ticket reading unit 5 (see FIG. 2) reads the application content described on the application form. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the application form 160 is provided with a plurality of columns 161 describing application numbers and a column 162 describing how to buy, and a column 163 describing the number of applications. The written contents (information of the blacked-out portion) are read by the ticket surface reading unit 5. For example, in the application number description column 161 at the top row, the numbers “8”, “4”, and “9” are filled in order from the left, so “849” is read as the application number. Information is also read in the same manner for the description column 162 of how to buy and the description column 163 of the number of applications.

  In the example of the application form 160 in FIG. 4, “application number: 849, buying method: A”, “application number: 963, buying method: A”, “application number: 789, buying method: B”, “application number: 046, buying method” : B "is applied for one by one. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, the application content read by the bill reading unit 5 is recorded in the storage unit 10 (see FIG. 2).

  Next, in step S4, the application content recorded in the storage unit 10 is transmitted from the communication unit 9 (see FIG. 2) to the host computer 151 (see FIG. 2) via the network 150. Then, the host computer 151 creates ticket issuing information as shown in FIG. 6 based on the received application contents. The ticketing information includes the lottery date and payment deadline, and the total amount. Thereafter, the created ticket issuing information is transmitted from the host computer 151 to the ticket issuing apparatus 100 via the network 150.

  Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the communication unit 9 has received ticketing information. If it is determined that ticket issue information has not been received, step S5 is repeated. That is, it waits until ticketing information is received. And when it is judged that ticket issue information was received, it moves to step S6.

  Next, in step S6, a betting ticket is issued by the ticket issuing unit 6 (see FIG. 2) based on the ticket issuing information received from the host computer 151. Then, the voting ticket is discharged from the ticketing slot 3 (see FIG. 1). Thereafter, in step S7, the application form is discharged from the discharge port 2 (see FIG. 1) by the transport unit 4, and the process returns to step S1. As a result, the ticket issuing apparatus 100 ends the ticket issuing operation using the application form.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 7, the issued voting ticket 170 has an application number 171, a purchase method 172, a lottery date and payment due date 173 according to the purchase date, the number of application units 174, and the total amount 175 and a barcode (one-dimensional code) 176 for identifying the contents of the vote are printed. The size of the voting ticket 170 is smaller than that of the application form 160.

  In the example of the voting ticket 170 in FIG. 7, “application number: 849, buying method: A”, “application number: 963, buying method: A”, “application number: 789, buying method: B”, “application number: 046, buying method” : B "is voted one by one.

  Also, on the face of the voting ticket 170, a mark location 177 for using the voting ticket 170 as an application form (“application mode on”) and a mark location 178 for using the voting ticket 170 as a voting ticket (“application” Mode off "). When a user who has purchased a voting ticket uses the voting ticket as an application form, mark “Application mode on” and give it to a staff member. Also, if you cancel it and check it again as a voting ticket, mark "off application mode". The mark locations 177 and 178 are examples of the “first mark location” and the “second mark location” in the present invention, respectively.

  If it is determined in step S1 of FIG. 3 that the application form has not been inserted into the insertion slot 1 (step S1: No), whether or not a voting ticket has been inserted into the insertion slot 1 in step S8. Is judged. The determination as to whether or not this voting ticket has been inserted is made based on the detection result of a sensor provided in the vicinity of the insertion slot 1. When it is determined that the voting ticket has been inserted into the insertion slot 1, the process proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, if it is determined that the voting ticket is not inserted into the insertion slot 1, the process returns to step S1. That is, the ticket issuing device 100 stands by until an application form or a voting ticket is inserted into the insertion slot 1.

  Next, in step S <b> 9, a voting ticket is taken in via the insertion slot 1 by the transport unit 4. In step S10, the ticket surface reading unit 5 determines whether or not “application mode on” of the voting ticket is marked. If the mark location 177 is marked as in the voting ticket 170a shown in FIG. 8 and the voting ticket 170b shown in FIG. 9, it is determined that “application mode on” is marked, and the process proceeds to step S16. Move. On the other hand, if the mark location 177 is not marked as in the voting ticket 170 shown in FIG. 7, it is determined that “application mode on” is not marked, and the process proceeds to step S11. In this case, the collation operation of the voting ticket 170 is performed.

  Next, in step S11, the ticket surface reading unit 5 reads information (barcode 176 in FIG. 7 and the like) for identifying the voting content described on the ticket surface of the voting ticket. Thereafter, information read by the ticket surface reading unit 5 is recorded in the storage unit 10.

  Next, in step S <b> 12, information for identifying the voting content read by the ticket surface reading unit 5 is transmitted from the communication unit 9 to the host computer 151 via the network 150. Then, the host computer 151 verifies whether or not the voting ticket is correct based on the received information. Thereafter, the verification result is transmitted from the host computer 151 to the ticket issuing apparatus 100 via the network 150.

  Next, in step S13, it is determined whether or not the communication unit 9 has received a collation result. If it is determined that the verification result has not been received, step S13 is repeated. That is, it waits until a collation result is received. And when it is judged that the collation result was received, it moves to step S14.

  Next, in step S14, a collation result indicating whether or not the voting ticket inserted into the insertion slot 1 is correct is displayed on the display unit 7 (see FIG. 2). Thereafter, in step S15, the betting ticket is discharged from the discharge port 2 by the transport unit 4, and the process returns to step S1. Thereby, in ticketing apparatus 100, collation operation (collation mode) is completed.

  If it is determined that “application mode on” is marked (step S10: Yes), whether or not “application mode off” of the voting ticket is marked by the ticket surface reading unit 5 in step S16. Is judged. If the mark location 178 is marked as in the voting ticket 170b shown in FIG. 9, it is determined that “application mode off” is marked, and the process proceeds to step S11. In this case, a voting ticket based on the information recorded in the inserted voting ticket 170b is not issued, and the collation operation of the voting ticket 170b is performed. On the other hand, if the mark location 178 is not marked as in the voting ticket 170a shown in FIG. 8, it is determined that “application mode off” is not marked, and the process proceeds to step S17. In this case, a ticket issuing operation using the voting ticket 170a is performed.

  Next, in step S17, the ticket surface reading unit 5 reads the character information of the voting ticket. Specifically, in the example of the voting ticket 170a in FIG. 8, the application number 171, the buying method 172, the lottery date and payment due date 173 corresponding to the purchase date, and the number of applications 174 are read.

  Next, in step S18, application information as shown in FIG. 10 is created based on the character information of the voting ticket read by the ticket surface reading unit 5. Specifically, the application number 171 read by the ticket surface reading unit 5 is used as the application information application number, the buying method 172 read by the ticket surface reading unit 5 is used as the purchasing method of application information, and the application read by the ticket surface reading unit 5 The number of units 174 is set as the number of applications for the application information. Thereafter, the created application information is recorded in the storage unit 10.

  In the example of the application information in FIG. 10, “application number: 849, buying method: A”, “application number: 963, buying method: A”, “application number: 789, buying method: B”, “application number: 046, buying method: "B" is applied for one by one.

  In step S 19, the application information recorded in the storage unit 10 is transmitted from the communication unit 9 to the host computer 151 via the network 150. Then, the host computer 151 creates ticket issuing information as shown in FIG. 11 based on the received application information. The ticketing information includes a lottery date and a payment due date according to the purchase date, and a total amount. Thereafter, the created ticket issuing information is transmitted from the host computer 151 to the ticket issuing apparatus 100 via the network 150.

  Next, in step S20, it is determined whether or not the communication unit 9 has received ticketing information. If it is determined that ticket issue information has not been received, step S20 is repeated. That is, it waits until ticketing information is received. And when it is judged that ticketing information was received, it moves to step S21.

  Next, in step S21, the ticket issuing unit 6 issues a voting ticket 170c (see FIG. 12) based on the ticket issuing information received from the host computer 151. Then, the voting ticket 170c is discharged from the ticket issuing slot 3. Thereafter, in step S15, the betting ticket is discharged from the discharge port 2 by the transport unit 4, and the process returns to step S1. Thereby, in the ticket issuing apparatus 100, the ticketing operation (application mode) using a voting ticket is completed.

  In the voting ticket 170c of FIG. 12, "application number: 849, buying method: A", "application number: 963, buying method: A", "application number: 789, buying method: B", "application number: 046, buying method: B" Is voted one by one.

  In the first embodiment, as described above, the ticket issuing unit 6 is configured so that a voting ticket can be issued based on the information described on the ticket surface of the voting ticket that has already been issued. Without using paper, a new voting ticket 170c having the same voting content as the already issued voting ticket 170a can be issued. Therefore, when applying with the same application contents as the already issued voting ticket 170a, it is necessary to prepare a new application form, and the user (buyer or clerk of the voting ticket) must describe the application contents on the application form The user only needs to mark the mark portion 177 of the issued voting ticket 170a. This saves the user the trouble of writing the application contents on the application form and reduces the consumption of the application form.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when the mark portion 177 of the voting ticket 170a is marked, by handling the voting ticket 170a as an application form, whether or not the voting ticket is used as an application form can be easily determined depending on the presence or absence of the mark. Can be judged.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when the mark portion 178 of the voting ticket 170b is marked, the voting ticket 170b is treated as a voting ticket so that the voting ticket 170b is used as an application form, and then the mark 177 is marked. In the case where it is not possible to delete the voting ticket 170b, or when it is erroneously determined that the mark has been marked even though the mark 177 has been deleted, the voting ticket 170b can be used as the voting ticket.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when handling a voting ticket as an application form, the character information on the face of the voting ticket 170a (application number 171, how to purchase 172, lottery date and payment due date 173 according to the purchase date, number of applications 174) , The contents of the vote of the voting ticket 170a can be easily determined. For example, when reading the barcode 176 for identifying the voting contents of the voting ticket 170a, it is necessary to refer to the host computer 151 for the voting contents, so that the voting contents of the voting ticket 170a are determined as compared with this case. Can be quickly performed.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the size of the voting ticket 170 is smaller than that of the application form 160, so that the convenience can be improved as compared with the case where the application form describing the application contents is reused. .
