[1-2-5 (1). Gate hate degree acquisition part]
The gate harassment degree acquisition unit 151 acquires the gate harassment degree as information related to the predetermined first feature for at least some of the plurality of run horses running in a future race. Here, the gate harassment degree is information relating to a time estimated as an elapsed time until each running horse reaches the gate.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the gate dislike degree acquisition unit 151 selects “horse A” from “horse A” based on the battle record (that is, the past race result) of each running horse stored in the battle record information storage unit 120. The gate dislike degree of each running horse until “K” is acquired.

  For example, when the elapsed time until the running horse enters the gate is stored in the battle record information storage unit 120, the gate dislike degree acquisition unit 151 is cumulatively stored for each race in which the running horse has started. The gate dislike degree may be acquired based on a plurality of elapsed times. More specifically, the gate harassment degree acquisition unit 151 may acquire a representative value such as an average value, a median value, or a maximum value of a plurality of elapsed times as a gate harassment degree, and the representative value satisfies a predetermined condition. A predetermined value may be acquired as the gate dislike degree according to whether or not it is satisfied (for example, whether or not it is within a predetermined threshold range).

  In addition, for example, when information indicating whether or not the running horse hated entering the gate is stored in the battle record information storage unit 120, the gate dislike degree acquiring unit 151 confirms that the running horse enters the gate. A predetermined value may be acquired as the gate dislike degree according to the number of dislikes or the frequency.

  In addition, the battle record information storage unit 120 may store a list of running horses who are reluctant to enter the gate. In this case, the gate dislike degree acquisition unit 151 determines whether it takes time to move into the gate for some of the running horses included in the above list among the running horses that will run in a future race, or The information indicating the degree may be acquired as the gate dislike level.

[1-2-5 (2). Gate waiting characteristic acquisition section]
The gate waiting characteristic acquisition unit 152 uses, as information related to a predetermined second characteristic indicating the influence received from other starting horses having the first characteristic, for the at least one starting horse set as a processing target, the gate waiting characteristic To get. Here, the gate waiting characteristic is a characteristic indicating a change in the condition of the running horse according to the time during which the running horse to be processed is restrained in the gate. In other words, the gate waiting characteristic is a characteristic indicating the influence received from other starting horses, which has characteristics related to the elapsed time until arrival in the gate.

  As shown in FIG. 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the gate waiting characteristic acquisition unit 152 is a gate waiting characteristic related to a running horse to be processed. A plurality of pieces of numerical information related to the condition of “call”.

  More specifically, the gate waiting characteristic acquisition unit 152 acquires the gate waiting characteristic based on the battle record of each running horse stored in the battle record information storage unit 120. The gate waiting characteristic acquisition unit 152 may acquire, for example, the gate waiting characteristic of the running horse from the frequency at which the running horse to be processed is not settled in the gate, the frequency at which the running horse is delayed at the start, or the time thereof. .

[1-2-5 (3). Order acquisition part with gate]
By the way, in the race of horse racing, the order in which each running horse moves into the gate (hereinafter also referred to as gate entering order) is determined in advance according to the horse number of those running horses.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the order of entering the gate of each running horse. As shown in the figure, when a race is started, first the horses with odd horse number move into the gate in ascending order of the horse number, and then each horse with even horse number within the gate in ascending order of the horse number. Move to. However, regardless of whether the horse number is an odd number or an even number, the running horse with the largest horse number (the so-called large outer frame running horse) finally moves into the gate. For example, if the number of running horses in a race is 11, each horse will go into the gate in the order of horse numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11. Moving.

  In addition, the time that each running horse is restrained in the gate before the start of the race varies depending on the order of entering each gate. Therefore, the gate entry order acquisition unit 153 acquires the gate entry order, which is the order in which each of the running horses moves into the gate.

  In addition, the gate entry order acquisition unit 153 may acquire, for example, the order of entering the gates of each running horse using a given algorithm, or may be stored in advance for each horse number of each running horse, for example. It is good also as acquiring the turn entering into the gate.

[1-2-5 (4). In-gate restraint time estimation unit]
The in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 determines the time (hereinafter also referred to as in-gate restraint time) for which the starting horse is restrained in the gate based on the order of entering at least one starting horse that is set as a processing target. presume. More specifically, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 estimates the in-gate restraint time that takes a long time when the order of entering the gate is early (that is, when the horse number of the starting horse is an odd young number). To do.

  The in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 estimates, for example, the in-gate restraint time of the starting horse from the total sum of the gate dislikes related to the starting horses belonging to the order after the start order of the starting horse to be processed. As good as Hereinafter, details of the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 in this case will be described based on an example of the influence information shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the influence information after the estimation of the in-gate restraint time and the setting of the influence degree of each running horse. In addition, the example shown to the figure is an example which rearranged each information in ascending order by the order of entering the gate of each running horse.

  As shown in FIG. 5, for example, the running horse “Horse D” moves from the gate to the start of the race, that is, each of “Horse F”, “Horse H”, “Horse J”, and “Horse K”. Will be restrained in the gate until it moves to the gate. Therefore, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 determines the in-gate restraint time related to “Horse D” for each of the “horse F”, “horse H”, “horse J”, and “horse K” gate hate levels {15, 10, From the sum of 10, 10}, it is estimated to be “45”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, “horse D” is a running horse that has a characteristic that the degree of dislike of the gate is larger than that of other running horses and it takes a relatively long time to move to the gate. For this reason, “horse A”, “horse C”, “horse E”, and “horse B”, which are run horses to be processed before the order of “horse D”, have at least “horse D” in the gate. It will be restrained in the gate until it moves. For this reason, the in-gate restraint time estimated for “horse A”, “horse C”, “horse E”, and “horse B” is a relatively long time.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, “horse K” is a running horse whose gate entry order is the last. For this reason, after “horse K” has moved into the gate, the race is started without delay without being affected by the movement of other running horses. Therefore, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 estimates, for example, the in-gate restraint time related to “horse K” as “0”.

  In addition, when the gate harassment degree acquisition unit 151 acquires a gate harassment degree indicating that it takes time to move into the gates for some of the running horses, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 The in-gate restraint time of the target horse to be processed may be estimated from the total elapsed time estimated from the degree of dislike. The in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 estimates the elapsed time until the start horse reaches the gate as “60” for the start horse for which the gate dislike degree is acquired, for example, and the elapsed time of the other start horses It is good also as estimating in-gate restraint time concerning a run horse to be processed from the sum total of these elapsed times.

[1-2-5 (5). Influence setting section]
The influence degree setting unit 155 sets an influence degree indicating an influence that at least one start horse set as a processing target receives from another start horse based on the first feature information and the second feature information. More specifically, the influence setting unit 155 obtains numerical information associated with the in-gate restraint time of the starting horse from the gate waiting characteristic acquired for the starting horse to be processed. Information indicating a change, that is, an influence level is set.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, since the in-gate restraint time of “horse A” is “185”, the influence setting unit 155 stores the numerical information “−15” associated with the condition that the in-gate restraint time is 180 or more. , Set as the influence degree of “horse A”. Further, the influence degree setting unit 155 sets numerical information “−5” associated with the condition that the in-gate restraint time is 120 or more and less than 180 for “horse B” as the influence degree of “horse B”.

  When the in-gate restraint time does not satisfy any of the conditions, such as “Horse D”, “Horse F”, “Horse J”, and “Horse K”, the influence degree setting unit 155, for example, sets the influence degree to “0”. May be set.

  As described above, in the influence information generated by the influence information generation unit 150 according to the present embodiment, the running horse is included in the gate as the degree of influence indicating the influence of the running horse to be processed from other running horses. Numerical information indicating a change in tone according to the time to be restrained is included.

[1-2-5 (6). Impact information output section]
The influence information output unit 159 waits for a gate indicating the gate dislike degree indicating the first characteristic of at least some of the plurality of starting horses and the second characteristic of the at least one starting horse set as a processing target. Based on the dislike characteristic, the influence information indicating the influence that the subject running horse receives from other starting horses is output. Further, the influence information output unit 159 outputs the influence information related to the run horses to be processed based on the gate dislike degree of the run horses belonging to the order after at least one gate entering order set as the process target.

  For example, the influence information output unit 159 may output the influence information generated by the influence information generation unit 150 for the running horse to be processed toward the client device 3. In addition, for example, the influence information output unit 159, based on the generated influence information, numerical information indicating the arrival order prediction based on the influence of the run horse to be processed from other run horses and the ability of the run horse, Information such as image information and character information indicating the development of the race may be output as the influence information.

  Then, for example, the control unit of the client device 3 displays the influence information display screen illustrated in FIG. 6 on the display device of the client device 3.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the influence information display screen. As shown in the figure, the display device of the client device 3 displays a race arrival order prediction based on the influence of the running horse to be processed from other running horses, and a message 21 regarding the race development of this running horse. The represented influence information display screen 20 is displayed.

  For example, the control unit of the client device 3 may cause the speaker of the client device 3 to output audio information that explains the content of the influence information. In addition, for example, the control unit of the client device 3 may cause a printing machine connected to the client device 3 to print an image or text information representing the content of the influence information.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in the race information output system 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the running horse specifying unit 130 of the race information output system 1 specifies a plurality of running horses that will run in a future race (step S101). The processing target setting unit 140 sets at least one starting horse among the plurality of specified starting horses as a processing target (step S102).

  The gate harassment degree acquisition unit 151 acquires a gate harassment degree indicating an elapsed time until reaching the inside of the gate for at least some of the specified start horses (step S103). The gate waiting characteristic acquisition unit 152 acquires a gate waiting characteristic indicating a change in tone for the racehorse to be processed (step S104). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the gate waiting harassment characteristic acquisition unit 152 acquires a plurality of numerical information associated with the condition of the in-gate restraint time as the gate harassment characteristics.

  The gate entry order acquisition unit 153 executes a gate entry order acquisition process for each running horse (step S105). Hereinafter, details of the processing executed in step S105 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

[1-3-2. Acquisition order with gates]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the gate entry order acquisition process. As shown in the figure, the gate entry order acquisition unit 153, for example, adds the variable t by 1 while adding the value of the variable i by 2 so that the horse number becomes an odd number, and from the value of the variable t, The order of entering the gate related to the running horse with an odd horse number is acquired (step S201 to step S204). The gate entry order acquisition unit 153 obtains the gate entry order related to the running horses with even horse numbers by the same process (steps S205 to S208). Finally, the gate entry order acquisition unit 153 acquires the number of horses that entered the race as the gate entry order of the largest horse number (that is, the horse number that is the outer frame) (step S209), and ends the gate entry order acquisition process. To do.

  For example, when the number of running horses in the race is 11, the gate entry order acquisition unit 153 sets “1” to “5” as the gate entry orders relating to the respective horses whose horse numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. ”And“ 6 ”to“ 10 ”are acquired as the order of entering the gates relating to the respective running horses whose horse numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and the order of entering the gate relating to the starting horses of which the horse number is 11 “11” is acquired, and the gate entry sequence acquisition process is terminated. Here, the description will be continued by returning to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[1-3-3. Overall processing (2)]
Returning to FIG. 7, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 performs the in-gate restraint time estimation process for the racehorse to be processed (step S <b> 106). Hereinafter, details of the in-gate constraint time estimation process executed in step S106 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

[1-3-4. In-gate restraint time estimation process]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the in-gate constraint time estimation process. As shown in the figure, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 initializes the value of the variable y to 0 and the value of the variable i to the number of horses running in the race (step S301). Here, when a running horse whose gate entry order is i is set as a processing target (step S302: Y), the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 determines from the value of the variable y to a running horse whose gate entry order is i. The in-gate restraint time is estimated (step S303). For example, the in-gate constraint time estimation unit 154 may estimate the value of the variable y as the in-gate constraint time as it is, or estimate the value obtained by performing predetermined processing on the variable y as the in-gate constraint time. That's good.

  The in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 adds to the value of the variable y the elapsed time until the starting horse reaches the gate in accordance with the degree of gate discomfort associated with the starting horse whose gate entry order is i (step S1). S304), 1 is subtracted from the variable i (step S305). In step S305, the in-gate constraint time estimation unit 154 may add, for example, the gate harassment value itself as an elapsed time to the variable y, or may be obtained by performing predetermined processing on the gate harassment level. The elapsed time (that is, the estimated elapsed time) may be added.

  Here, when the value of the variable i is 1 or more (step S306: Y), the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 performs a process of estimating the in-gate restraint time for a running horse whose gate entry order is i. Repeat (steps S302 to S304). If the value of the variable i is less than 1 (step S306: N), the in-gate constraint time estimation unit 154 ends the in-gate constraint time estimation process.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 154 estimates the in-gate restraint time related to the horse to be processed. Here, the description will be continued by returning to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[1-3-5. Overall processing (3)]
Returning to FIG. 7, the influence degree setting unit 155 sets the influence degree indicating the influence of the running horse to be processed from other running horses (step S <b> 107). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the influence setting unit 155 is associated with estimation of the in-gate restraint time estimated in step S <b> 106 from the gate waiting property acquired in step S <b> 104 for the racehorse to be processed. The numerical information indicating the change in tone is set as the influence degree of the running horse. The influence information generation unit 150 generates the influence information related to the run horse to be processed by executing the processes from step S103 to S107.

  The influence information output unit 159 outputs the influence information generated for the running horse to be processed toward the client device 3 (step S107). Then, for example, the influence information display screen 20 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display device of the client apparatus 3.

  The race information output system 1 described above has a gate harassment level related to the first characteristic of each running horse, a turn entering order, and a second characteristic of the running horse to be processed. Based on the characteristics, the influence information regarding the running horse to be processed is output. For this reason, the race information output system 1 can output useful information according to the characteristics of the running horse.

[2. Second Embodiment]
Next, a race information output system according to the second embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, in addition to the first characteristic indicating the elapsed time until the racehorse reaches the gate, the information related to the first feature indicating the leg quality of the racehorse and the other racehorses having this leg quality are received. This is different from the first embodiment in that the influence information regarding the running horse to be processed is output based on the information related to the second feature indicating the influence.

  Note that the system configuration and hardware configuration of the information processing system according to this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. In the following, the present embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

[2-2. Function block]
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the race information output system 1 according to the second embodiment. As shown in the figure, the influence information generation unit 160 according to the present embodiment includes a gate harassment degree acquisition unit 161, a gate harassment characteristic acquisition unit 162, a gate entry order acquisition unit 163, and an in-gate restraint time estimation unit. 164, a first influence setting unit 165, a leg quality information acquisition unit 166, a pace influence characteristic acquisition unit 167, a second influence degree setting unit 168, and an influence information output unit 169. Among these functions, the gate harassment degree acquisition unit 161, the gate harassment characteristic acquisition unit 162, the gate entry order acquisition unit 163, the in-gate restraint time estimation unit 164, and the first influence degree setting unit 165 are the first embodiment. Since it is the same as the function included in the influence information generation unit 150 related to the above, description thereof is omitted. Below, the detail of each of the leg quality information acquisition part 166, the pace influence characteristic acquisition part 167, the 2nd influence degree setting part 168, and the influence information output part 169 is demonstrated.

[2-2 (1). Leg quality information acquisition unit]
The leg quality information acquisition unit 166 acquires leg quality information related to the leg quality of each running horse as information related to the predetermined first feature about each running horse that will run in a future race. Here, the leg quality is, for example, a running method that each running horse is good at, such as “escape”, “preceding”, “insertion”, and “driving”.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of influence information generated by the influence information generation unit 160 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the leg quality information acquisition unit 166 is based on the race results (that is, past race results) of each race horse stored in the battle record information storage unit 120. Leg quality information regarding each of the “horses K” is acquired.

  More specifically, the leg quality information acquisition unit 166 acquires the leg quality information of each running horse from the halon time in the past race, the intermediate rank at the midpoint of the race, and the like stored in the battle record information storage unit 120. . The leg quality information acquisition unit 166 includes, for example, leg grade information indicating that the leg grade is “runaway” or “preceding” for a running horse whose halon time or intermediate ranking tends to drop as the race progresses. On the other hand, for the running horses whose halon time and intermediate rank tend to increase according to the progress of the race, acquire the stamina information indicating that the stamina is “push” or “run-in” .

[2-2 (2). Pace influence characteristics acquisition unit]
By the way, the pace of a race to be performed in the future can be predicted depending on which of the running qualities of each running horse running in this race. For example, in a race in which a lot of horses with “runaway” legs start, each race horse tries to catch up with the runner that runs ahead, so the race pace is expected to be fast.

  In addition, the running horses that run in the race may include those who are out of tune and those who are up when the race is fast, and those who are out of tune and those who are up when the pace is slow.

  Therefore, the pace influence characteristic acquisition unit 167 responds to the pace of the race as a predetermined second feature indicating the influence received from other run horses having characteristics relating to the leg quality with respect to at least one run horse set as a processing target. The pace influence characteristic indicating the change of the tone is acquired.

  For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the pace influence characteristic acquisition unit 167 acquires, as a pace influence characteristic, a plurality of pieces of numerical information associated with the condition of the qualities of each start horse for the start horse to be processed. More specifically, the pace influence characteristic acquisition unit 167 may acquire the pace influence characteristic based on the battle record of the running horse to be processed stored in the battle record information storage unit 120. The pace influence characteristic acquisition unit 167 may acquire the pace influence characteristic related to the running horse from, for example, the order of arrival of the running horse in the race determined to be fast (or slow), the running time, and the like.

[2-2 (3). Second influence setting unit]
The second influence degree setting unit 168 sets a second influence degree indicating the influence that at least one race horse set as a processing target receives from another race horse having characteristics related to leg quality. More specifically, the second influence level setting unit 168 obtains numerical information associated with the condition of the qualities of each running horse from the pace influence characteristics acquired for the running horse to be processed. Information indicating the change in tone, that is, the second influence level is set.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 11, since the number of running horses whose leg quality is “escape” is 2, the second influence setting unit 168 runs for “horse D” with the leg type “escape”. “−10”, which is numerical information associated with the condition of the number of horses ≧ 2, is set as the second influence degree. Further, for example, the second influence setting unit 168 sets “10” as the second influence for “horse K”. Note that “Horse D” is a running horse that has the feature of being out of tune when the race pace is fast, and “Horse K” is a running horse that has the feature of being up when the race pace is fast.

  As described above, in the influence information generated by the influence information generation unit 160 according to the present embodiment, the first influence degree indicating a change in the tone according to the time for which the running horse to be processed is restrained in the gate. It is included, and the second influence degree indicating a change in tone according to the leg quality of each running horse is included.

[2-2 (4). Impact information output section]
The influence information output unit 169 according to the present embodiment includes not only the degree of gate dislike regarding the elapsed time until each racehorse reaches the gate, but also the racehorse to be processed that indicates a change in tone according to these legs. Is output to the client device 3.

  Then, on the display device of the client apparatus 3, for example, an influence information display screen 20 representing the predicted arrival order of the run horses to be processed and / or the message 21 according to the gate dislike degree and / or leg quality of each run horse. Will be displayed.

[2-3. flowchart]
Below, an example of the process performed in the race information output system 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing executed in the race information output system 1 according to the present embodiment. Note that the contents of the processing in steps S501 to S507 shown in the figure are the same as the processing in steps S101 to S107 (see FIG. 7) described in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted here.

  In the present embodiment, the leg quality information acquisition unit 166 acquires leg quality information indicating the leg quality of each running horse, such as “escape” and “run-in” (step S508). The pace influence characteristic acquisition unit 167 acquires, as a pace influence characteristic, a plurality of pieces of numerical information indicating changes in the tone according to the pace of the race (that is, the leg quality of each start horse) for the start horse to be processed (step S509). ).

  The second influence degree setting unit 168 sets, as the second influence degree, the numerical information associated with the condition of the leg quality that satisfies the leg quality information acquired in step S508 from the pace influence characteristic acquired in step S509. (Step S510). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the second influence setting unit 168 is a numerical value corresponding to a condition in which the number of running horses whose leg quality is “escape” is 2 or more from the pace influence characteristics related to “horse D”. Information “−10” is set as the second influence degree related to “horse D”. The influence information generation unit 160 according to the present embodiment generates the influence information regarding the running horse to be processed by executing the processes from step S503 to S510.

  The influence information output unit 169 outputs the influence information generated for the racehorse to be processed toward the client device 3 (step S511). Then, for example, on the display device of the client device 3, the arrival order prediction or race development of the target running horse based on the influence received from other running horses having characteristics related to the degree of gate harassment and / or leg quality, etc. The represented influence information display screen 20 is displayed.

  The race information output system 1 according to the second embodiment described above is not only the elapsed time until each racehorse reaches the gate, as the first feature of each racehorse running in a future race, Based on the foot quality information related to the leg quality of each running horse, the influence information related to the running horse to be processed is output. By doing in this way, the race information output system 1 can output useful information according to a feature different from the elapsed time until reaching the gate that each running horse has.
