Description

  The present invention relates to a soccer prediction voting system including a client terminal such as a smart phone or a PC and a web server capable of two-way communication with these client terminals.

  Football has long been the subject of lottery and betting, and has been widely known as Totocarcho in Italy, the Football Pool in England, and Kinniera in Spain. In recent years, soccer lottery is becoming popular in Japan as a sports promotion lottery.

  However, the above anticipatory voting system is based on winning, losing and drawing multiple games. For this reason, when a game that is not of interest to you or a plurality of games that you have predicted is shared, you cannot enjoy “Lottery” while watching all the games.

Therefore, the present inventor has proposed a system in which toto is completed in one game as Patent Document 1.
In Patent Document 1, one game is divided into a plurality of time zones, the score in each time zone is predicted, and when the game starts, only the target of the expected score in the first time zone survives, and the match time elapses Along with this, the number of hit predictions is reduced.

  The prediction table used in Patent Document 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 14. FIG. 14A shows a state before the prediction table displayed on the client terminal is entered, and the prediction table 100 has a time zone at the center in the rectangular frame. The display team 101 is displayed, the battle team names 102 are displayed on the left and right sides of the display section 101, and 18 score windows 104 for displaying the scores for each team are provided on the left and right of the time zone 103 every 10 minutes. . These score windows 104 are 0 in the default state. FIG. 14B shows an expected score entered in each score window.

  In the paragraph (0033) of Patent Document 1, a multi-voting button is provided on a page different from the page provided with the score window 104, and “1 or 2” or “ It is possible to predict “0 or 1”. If the score is predicted to be “1 or 2” or “0 or 1”, it means that two prediction votes have been taken, and if there are three places where this multi is selected, 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 predictions have been voted.

Also, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, recently, online games are popular. In such an online game, when an icon displayed on a terminal such as a smart phone is clicked, communication software incorporated in the terminal is activated and connected to the server via the Internet, and the game progresses by the software incorporated in the server. To do.
General game software has a top page, and is configured to transition to a battle screen or other screens by touching a button provided on the top page.

Japanese Patent No. 4493728 JP 2014-93054 A

It is known from experience that when a soccer game is divided into, for example, a time zone of 10 minutes, there are at most 2 points in 10 minutes in a normal international soccer game.
Therefore, there are nine ways of scores in 10 minutes: 0-0, 0-1, 0-2, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-0, 2-1, 2-2. Since this overlaps nine times (90 minutes), the probability that the prediction will be correct is 1/9 ⁹ ≒ 1.38 billion, and it is almost impossible to hit the target with only one expected vote. . In addition, since it is troublesome to create the prediction table one by one, it is realistic to perform the above-described multi-form prediction voting.

  In addition, when predictive voting such as soccer is performed online, it is preferable that the number of screen switching is as small as possible. However, in Patent Document 1, since the default screen where the score for each time zone is 0 and the screen for performing multi-voting are separate screens, the number of times of screen switching is large when performing multi-voting for each time zone. The operation becomes troublesome. In particular, Patent Document 1 does not have a selection branch of “2 or more” and an option of “0, 1 or 2,” and when “3 or more” is selected, “0”, “1”, and “2” are simultaneously set. The score required for soccer multi-voting is missing.

  In addition, when multi-voting is performed, the expected number of votes increases without noticing. In addition, if the total expected number of votes that he is currently betting on cannot be accurately grasped, there is a problem that the total amount of bets will not be known and the budget will be exceeded. This countermeasure is not taken in Patent Document 1.

  Furthermore, when actually betting on virtual currency, etc., it is necessary to return the currency corresponding to the dividend to the correct answerer, which is tied to the currency sent to the organizer, the contents of the vote, and the user's account number. It is necessary to attach. However, no solution on this point is disclosed in the prior art.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a soccer prediction voting system according to the present invention includes a web server and a plurality of client terminals such as smart phones capable of bidirectional communication with the web server. Game software that is downloaded or accessed by a terminal and software for an administrator, and the game software includes at least information on a top screen, an prediction screen, and an account number entry screen, and the top screen includes the prediction screen A start button for transitioning to a confirmation button, a confirmation button for transitioning to a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not remittance has been completed, and a surviving vote count button for transitioning to a screen for displaying the remaining vote count, are provided on the prediction screen. Consists of a plurality of time zones where the game time is divided into predetermined time intervals, a window indicating the number of votes, and There is a send button for transitioning to the account number entry screen, and each time zone is divided into three predicted score windows of “0”, “1” and “2 or more” for each battle team. The switches are alternately turned on and off by touch operation, and all the number of score windows in the on state in each time zone of the battle team are multiplied, and the multiplication result is displayed in real time in the window indicating the number of votes as the total number of votes. The account number entry screen includes a host account number window in which the game organizer's account number is pre-filled, a window for entering the player's account number, and a transition button for transitioning to a currency management company web page. When the remittance is completed on the currency management company's web page, the setting is made to return to the top screen, and the manager software and the game management software are played. The game management software is provided with a window for inputting a team name displayed on the prediction screen, and the player management software stores the individual identification number of the client terminal to which the prediction screen is transmitted or the E of the player. The e-mail address or player ID is associated with the expected content and the account number of the player entered on the account number entry screen, and the expected score entered in the first time zone entry column of the time zone The actual score is compared to extract only the hitting ballot, and then the predicted score entered in the next time zone and the actual score are extracted from the hit ballots extracted within the first time zone. By comparing the scores and extracting the correct vote, the number of remaining votes is extracted by sequentially performing this extraction along the time zone, and the number of remaining votes is displayed. To be displayed on the screen.

  The individual identification number of the client terminal, the e-mail address of the player, or the player ID identifies the client terminal or the player from the web server when the player of the client terminal obtains the winner, that is, the right to receive dividends. Is to do. Therefore, there is no need for an individual identification number because it is automatically transmitted. However, when an e-mail address or ID is used for specifying a player, it is necessary to enter these in an expected score table in advance. .

  When using an ID, it is necessary to enter the ID before starting the game. For this purpose, an ID registration procedure is required first, and it is necessary to input the ID every time. In addition, when an ID is acquired, an e-mail address is generally required, so that the procedure is complicated although safety is high. The simplest operation is to use the individual identification number of the client terminal.

  According to the predictive voting system for soccer according to the present invention, the predictive voting for soccer can be intermittently performed with very few operation procedures for the player. Further, since the organizer can associate the currency such as the virtual currency that has been securely transferred with the contents of the vote and the account number of the user (player), it is possible to reliably send the dividend to the correct answerer.

  Further, according to the present invention, since it is possible to perform multi-voting in which a plurality of scores can be selected simultaneously while looking at the total number of votes, it is possible to enjoy the prediction without exceeding the limited budget range.

In particular, in the present invention, the number of windows that can be selected as the predicted score is limited to three, “0”, “1”, and “2 or more”, so that all scores can be covered and 9 to 15 can be covered. It is very interesting as a score prediction system for minutes.
That is, in a limited time zone of around 10 minutes, the score is mostly “0” or “1”, and a score of “2 or more” is also statistically present with a certain probability.
In such a situation, if two windows, “0” or “1 or more”, can be selected, the probability is low, but “2 points” and “3 points” are also included in “1 or more”. Despite anticipating “2 points” or “3 points”, they will be treated the same as those who expected 1 point.
In addition, if the number of windows that can be selected is four, “0”, “1”, “2”, or “3 or more”, the number of windows that must be displayed on one screen increases, and the on / off state is increased. Operation is difficult, and more than three points are statistically negligible, and there is no point in creating four windows.
Therefore, it is best to set the time zone to 9 to 15 minutes and the number of windows of the predicted score to “0”, “1”, and “2 or more” in the soccer prediction voting system. is there.

  If the time zone is 9 minutes, the time is halfway compared to 10 minutes, but since the half time of soccer is 45 minutes, each half is conveniently divided into 5 time zones.

  Further, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to create an account such as a virtual currency used in an application in the web server, and an account of an external virtual currency system can be used. Therefore, a person who already has a virtual currency account can play immediately just by accessing the web server of the present invention. Further, even when the game stops playing, no extra virtual currency is left in the application-dedicated account of the present application, so there is no waste.

  In addition, in the case of electronic money and real currency, even if an extremely small amount of money is spent, it is required to open a bank account or a credit card, and the number of clients that cannot be used increases. On the other hand, there are no disadvantages when using virtual currency (value information) or points.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
In the embodiment, the virtual currency is used and the individual identification number of the terminal is used as a means for specifying the player. However, the present invention is not limited to the virtual currency, and electronic money, points, etc. can be used. In addition, an e-mail address or a player ID (password) can be used as the player specifying means.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a soccer prediction voting system according to the present invention includes a network 1 such as the Internet, a web server 2 connected to the network 1, and a smart phone capable of bidirectional communication between the web server 2. And a client terminal 3 composed of a personal computer and an account management site 4 for value information (virtual currency such as cryptocurrency).

  The virtual currency account possessed by the player of the web server 2 and the client terminal 3 can be opened by applying to the virtual currency exchange or the account management site 4 of the operating company via the Internet, With the receiving means and transmitting means of the computer, it is possible to make direct deposits and withdrawals with the other party's virtual currency account. That is, transactions are conducted in a P2P relationship without going through a financial institution such as a bank.

The web server 2 can use a general-purpose cloud computer having a mutual authentication function for SSL communication with the client terminal 3. The web server 2 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an HDD, a BIOS, a communication interface unit (COM I / F), an input unit such as a keyboard KB and a mouse MS, and hardware such as a display DSP. Of these, ROM, RAM, HDD, BIOS, and communication interface unit (COM I / F) are connected to the CPU via a communication bus, and the keyboard KB and mouse MS are connected to the CPU via a human interface HI / F. Connected with.
The web server 2 includes a receiving unit, a storing unit, a transmitting unit, an extracting unit, and a calculating unit, which are executed by the CPU.

  The web server 2 includes game software and manager software for predicting a soccer score downloaded or accessed by the client terminal 3 in the hardware. These software are CGI programs written in the PERL language, for example. The manager software is managed by the server management PC.

  The game software includes at least information on the top screen, the prediction screen, and the account number entry screen, and these screens are displayed on the display of the client terminal 3. On the display of the client terminal 3, an icon 3a for transferring a shortcut to the game software is placed together with other icons. The icon 3a is automatically installed on the display by a known means when the web server 2 is first accessed or a necessary part of the game software is downloaded from the web server 2.

  When the icon 3a is touched as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the top screen 5 includes a start button 6 for transitioning to the prediction screen, a rule and transition button 7 for transitioning to a screen explaining the rules and how to play, and whether or not remittance has been completed. An acceptance confirmation button 8 for transition to a confirmation screen to be confirmed and a remaining number button 9 for transition to a screen for displaying the number of remaining votes are provided.

When the start button 6 is touched, a transition is made to the prediction screen 10 shown in FIG. This prediction screen 10 is transmitted from the web server 2. Note that, when the prediction screen 10 with the team name omitted is downloaded in advance to the client terminal 3, only the battle team name is transmitted from the web server 2. When there are a plurality of games to be predicted, a game selection screen is displayed before switching to the prediction screen 10, and the player is set to select a specific game.
The battle team name is entered by inputting it into the team name window of the game management software S1 in the web server 2 by the server management PC.

In the prediction screen 10, a time zone display 12 is provided in the upper center of the rectangular frame 11, and a battle team name 13 is displayed on the left and right of the time zone display 12. In this embodiment, the game start to end is divided into nine time zones 14 every 10 minutes. For example, in the figure, “20” indicates a time period between 11 minutes and 20 minutes. The seconds are rounded up. For example, a score at 10 minutes and 1 second is a score at 11 minutes. Moreover, the horizontal broken line of the time zone “50” means that half time is sandwiched.
Incidentally, when one time zone is set to 9 minutes, the broken line indicating the half time becomes unnecessary.

In addition, score windows 15 for predicting scores for each team are provided on the left and right of each time zone 14.
One score window 15 is divided into three small windows 15a, 15b and 15c of “0”, “1” and “2 ≦”, and one or more small windows can be selected. That is, the small windows 15a, 15b, and 15c are alternately turned on and off by touch operation, and two or three of the small windows 15a, 15b, and 15c can be simultaneously turned on at the same time. it can.
In the prediction screen 10 before entry (default state), in the embodiment, for the score window 15, a small window 15a of “0” is selected in all time zones.

  A window 16 indicating the total number of votes is provided below the rectangular frame 11, and a window 17 for selecting how many coins to be bet on one vote is provided below, and further below that, a window 17 is provided. A send button 18 is provided. In addition, a total score prediction frame may be provided separately from the above. Regarding the prediction of the total score, in addition to the time zone prediction, the target of the prediction of the total score is also a victory condition.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a prediction table in which a predicted score is entered. In this figure, Brazil scores three small windows of the score window 15 in the time zone of 0-10 and scores in the time zone of 10-20. Select two small windows in window 15 and three small windows in score window 15 in the time zone 70-80. Japan has two small windows in score window 15 in the time period 10-20. Two small windows of the score window 15 are selected in the 50 time zone, and two small windows of the score window 15 are selected in the 50 to 60 time zone. Therefore, the total number of votes is 3 × 2 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 144, and the number “144” is displayed in the window 16 indicating the total number of votes.

  Moreover, if two small windows of the score window 15 are selected from the above state, for example, in the time zone of 20 to 30 in Brazil, the total number of votes is doubled to 288. Thus, the total number of votes is displayed in real time by multiplying the selected number of small windows 15a, 15b, and 15c of the score selected by each team in each time zone.

  When the prediction is confirmed, the transmission button 18 is pressed. Then, the above contents are received by the web server 2, and the web server 2 stores the received contents in the player management software S2. At the same time, the individual identification number of the terminal is stored in the player management software S2 of the web server 2.

  Here, the client terminal has an individual identification number for each terminal. Although it is not possible to know the name and address of the player from this individual identification number, it is possible to identify the terminal that communicated, and to provide information to the terminal individually from the web server 2. Further, when the individual identification number is not used as the player specifying information but the e-mail address or ID (password) is used, the individual identification number may not be stored.

  When an e-mail address or ID is requested instead of an individual identification number, for example, a window for entering an e-mail address or ID is provided at the lower or upper portion of the predicted score table 9, and when the window is touched, an expected screen 10 Make the keyboard for input appear as part of.

  As described above, the individual identification number of the client terminal 3, the e-mail address of the player or the ID (password) of the player and the voting content are linked in the player management software S2.

When the send button 18 is pressed, associating is performed as described above, and a transition is made to the account entry screen 20 shown in FIG. In this account entry screen 20, a window 21 showing the number of coins to be paid, an organizer's virtual currency account number entry column 22, a player's virtual currency account number entry column 23, and a virtual currency account management company site are displayed. A button 24 is provided.
Here, the reason why the player's virtual currency account number entry field 23 is entered is that it is necessary to send a dividend from the organizer.

  In the case of voting from a terminal that has already voted once, the account number used for the previous remittance is known, so that account number is stored in advance in the cache and entered. In this case, it is not possible to cope with the case where the account number is changed, so that it can be changed.

  When the button 24 labeled “Go to Wallet” is touched, a transition is made to the login screen of the virtual currency account management company site shown in FIG. From this screen, the player moves to his / her account, and on the remittance screen shown in FIG. 8, the account number 22 of the organizer's virtual currency displayed on the account entry screen 20 is input by copy and paste as the remittance account number. Further, the number of remittance coins is input and the remittance button 25 is touched.

  In addition, when the button 24 labeled “Go to Wallet” is touched, the screen changes to the login page of the virtual currency management company, and at the same time, the account used for the remittance described in the entry field 23 to the web server 2. You will be informed of the number. As a result, in the web server 2, the account number used by the client terminal 3 for remittance is associated with the individual identification number of the client terminal, the e-mail address of the player or the ID of the player, and the contents of the vote.

  Since the remittance partner account number and the deposit amount are known, and the remittance partner account number is associated with the individual identification number or e-mail address of the client terminal or the player ID or the voting content, it is possible to confirm whether or not there is a deposit.

  This completes the voting operation. When the remittance button 25 on the account management company site is touched, the setting is made to return to the top screen 5 again. When returning to the top screen 5, there is an acceptance confirmation button 8 for making a transition to a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not the remittance has been completed.

And when payment is confirmed, a screen changes to the reception confirmation table 30 shown in FIG. Specifically, it requests the web server 2 for data of its own expected content that has been received from the client terminal 3. At this time, the client terminal 3 passes the individual identification number to the web server 2. Then, since the web server 2 should have data associated with the individual identification number of the terminal, the predicted data is transmitted to the terminal specified by the individual identification number.
If the data does not exist, the vote is not accepted due to a timeout or for some reason, so the screen transitions to the screen 40 shown in FIG. 10 and displays that effect.

  This completes the acceptance of voting. Next, the game management software S1 will be described. This game management software S1 is managed by the server management PC. As shown in FIG. 11, the battle team name input field 50, the organizer's account number field 51, and the game number field for managing a plurality of games simultaneously. 52, a game start date and end date entry field 53, a start time and end time entry field 54, an update button 55, and a game progress entry field 56 are provided.

  The organizer's account number entry column 51 is provided, for example, by changing the account number for each game to enhance security. In the game progress entry column 56, the manager inputs a result every time.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the management screen of the player management software S2 includes a column 60 for identifying a game, a column 61 for associating individual identification numbers, account addresses, the number of voting coins, and voting contents.

  In the above, the hit vote within the first time frame is found when the first 10 minutes have elapsed since the match was started. Therefore, a hit vote within the first time frame is extracted by the extraction means from the data stored in the storage means of the player management software S2 of the web server 2.

  The extracted number of hit votes (number of survivors) is counted, and the counted number of hit votes is transmitted to the client terminal 3 together with the total number of coins to be voted. An example of the transmission screen 70 is shown in FIG.

  As the client terminal 3 of the transmission destination, only the terminal that performed the hit vote may be used. Further, the progress may be announced on the home page of the web server 2 without being transmitted to each terminal.

  Then, when the second time frame elapses, a hit vote within the second time frame is determined. Therefore, the web server 2 extracts the hit vote in the second time frame by the extracting means from the hit votes extracted in the first time frame. That is, only votes that have been hit twice in succession are extracted.

In this way, the above extraction is repeated until the final time frame (80 to 90 minutes), the hit votes in the final time frame are extracted, and the number is counted to obtain the final mid vote number. Divide the points and prize money by the number of hits in the target, and use that value as the dividend to the target player.
Dividends are distributed not only to the final middle player, but also to the first or second time frame, and even to the middle player up to the previous time frame, with a difference in the dividend rate. May be.
When there is no hit vote in the final time frame, the time frame closest to the final time frame and having the hit vote is treated as the final time frame.

  As described above, when the final middle vote number and the dividend amount are determined, the dividend amount is notified to the client terminal 3 that has made the final middle vote using the deposit / withdrawal software of the web server 2, and the user of the client terminal 3 is notified. Transfer to a virtual currency account.

  In the embodiment, functionally, the game management software S1 for managing the prediction screen 10 for entering the prediction score and the player management software S2 for linking the player account number and the voting contents are divided. It is optional to partially overlap the contents between them or use other software functions.

  At first glance, the soccer prediction voting system according to the present invention is a client-server system in which a client terminal obtains information from a server, but the relationship between each client terminal and the server is a P2P system.
