  The receiving unit 110 receives race information from the organizer side server 400 and the information provider side server 500. Based on the race information transmitted from the organizer-side server 400 and the race information transmitted from the information provider-side server 500, the receiving unit 110 associates information about the running horse for each running horse, and the running horse information 131 Is stored in the storage unit 130. In addition, the receiving unit 110 stores information other than the starting horse information 131 such as the environment information of the venue and the starting time of the race in the storage unit 130 as the holding race information 132 among the received race information. The held race information 132 may include information related to the running horse (for example, (a) to (c) described above).

  The receiving unit 110 receives the race result from the organizer-side server 400. The receiving unit 110 outputs the received race result to the counting unit 150.

  The receiving unit 110 may update each piece of information stored in the storage unit 130 each time it receives updated race information from the organizer side server 400 and the information provider side server 500. For example, when the odds of the running horse are updated, the receiving unit 110 may update the odds of the running horse included in the running horse information 131.

  The accepting unit 120 accepts an input operation performed on the input unit 210 by the user. Specifically, the reception unit 120 receives operation information, terminal information, and user information indicating a user who has performed an input operation indicated by the operation information from each operation terminal 200.

  If the received operation information is information indicating an operation for changing the display, the reception unit 120 outputs the operation information to the display control unit 140 together with the terminal information.

  In addition, when the received operation information is information (selection information) indicating an operation for inputting an expectation, that is, the reception unit 120 displays at least one of a favorite horse, a counter horse, a single hole, a descendant, and other horses. If the information indicates the operation to be selected, the operation content is saved. Specifically, the reception unit 120, based on the received user information and the operation information, the user information, information indicating the selected running horse, the prediction mark, and the user selects the running horse Is associated with the screen information (the reason for selection to be described later). The anticipation mark is a mark indicating that the running horse is predicted to be a favorite horse, a counter horse, a single hole, a descendant, or another horse by the user. In the following, the favorite horse is a double circle (◎), the counter horse is a circle (○), a single hole is a black triangle (black △), a descendant is a triangle (△), and the other horses are stars (☆) Let's represent. In addition, about each of a favorite horse, a counter horse, a single hole, a descendant, and other horses, since the meaning generally used is employ | adopted, description is abbreviate | omitted. Then, the reception unit 120 stores the associated information (operation content) in the reception unit 120. Note that the reception unit 120 may store the associated information as the prediction information 133 in the storage unit 130. Furthermore, the reception unit 120 outputs the operation information to the display control unit 140 together with the terminal information.

  When the received operation information is information indicating an operation to confirm (end) the prediction, the reception unit 120 stores the operation content stored in the reception unit 120 as the prediction information 133 in the storage unit 130. Store. Details of the prediction information 133 stored in the storage unit 130 will be described later with reference to another drawing.

  In addition, when the voting ticket purchase deadline time of the race that the user has predicted is reached, the reception unit 120 stops receiving the operation information related to the race, and the operation content currently stored in the reception unit 120 is displayed. The information is stored in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133. The reception unit 120 determines whether or not the current time is the voting ticket purchase deadline time with reference to the time information included in the held race information 132. Note that the determination as to whether the current time is the voting ticket purchase deadline time may be performed by the display control unit 140 described later, or may be performed by other members. In the present embodiment, description will be made assuming that the reception unit 120 determines whether or not the current time is the voting ticket purchase deadline time.

  The display control unit 140 controls the display of information on the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 and the display unit 310 of the display device 300. Specifically, the display control unit 140 receives operation information and terminal information from the reception unit 120. Then, the display control unit 140 refers to the racehorse information 131 and the held race information 132 based on the received operation information, and causes the display unit 220 to display a screen corresponding to the input operation indicated by the operation information. Is transmitted to the operation terminal 200. The operation terminal 200 can display a screen corresponding to the input operation on the display unit 220 based on the control signal.

  The screen displayed on the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 will be further described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 are diagrams for explaining examples of screens displayed on display unit 220 of operation terminal 200 according to the present embodiment. Note that the screen layouts in FIGS. 4 to 6 are examples, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  The screen shown in FIG. 4 includes the environment information of the venue, the area GA indicating the information of the race to be held, the display condition selection area GB, the racehorse information display area GC, and the expected input area GD. The screen shown in FIG. 4 is the display condition selection area GB in which the information on the running horses is displayed in the order of horse numbers. In the present embodiment, the screen shown in FIG. 4 is the initial screen of the corresponding race (in the case of FIG. 4, “11R”).

  The display control unit 140 refers to the held race information 132 in the storage unit 130 and causes the display unit 220 to display the area GA.

  In the racehorse information display area GC, racehorse display information (competition target information) HI regarding the racehorse is displayed based on a predetermined condition. In FIG. 4, the running horse display information HI is displayed in the order of horse numbers. Here, it is assumed that the running horse display information regarding the four running horses is displayed, but any number may be used. For example, on the leftmost side in the racehorse information display area GC of FIG. 4, as the racehorse display information HI, the horse number “1”, the name of the racehorse “XXX”, the odds “1. 6 ”, jockey name“ aaaa ”and burden weight“ 54.0 kg ”are displayed. The display control unit 140 refers to the running horse information 131 stored in the storage unit 130 and displays it as the running horse display information HI. The racehorse display information HI may include a photo or image of a racehorse and a photo or image of a jockey. When the user performs a swipe operation left and right within the racehorse information display area GC, the reception unit 120 receives this operation information. Then, the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 220 to display a screen corresponding to the operation information.

In the display condition selection area GB, information indicating a condition (display condition) for displaying the racehorse display information HI in the racehorse information display area GC is displayed in a selectable manner. This condition may be, for example, any one of (a), (c) to (s) described above, or may be other conditions. The other conditions may be conditions shown in the following (A) to (D), for example.
(A) Best time for each distance,
(B) Performance by distance (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and other times by distance),
(C) Results by course (1st, 2nd, 3rd, other times) (by course (location, lawn or dirt, clockwise or counterclockwise)),
(D) Performance for each Baba state (for example, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and other times for heavy Baba).

  For example, when “(B) results by distance” is selected as a display condition by the user, the reception unit 120 receives operation information indicating that the condition is selected. Then, the display control unit 140 determines the display order of the racehorse display information HI and the racehorse display information HI to be displayed in the racehorse information display area GC according to the operation information. And the display control part 140 controls the display part 220 so that the determined racehorse display information HI is displayed in the racehorse information display area GC.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 220 after the user selects a display condition in the display condition selection region GB of the screen of FIG. Here, it is assumed that the user has selected (B) as the display condition. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in the display condition selection area GB, the user indicates “distance” as a major classification item as information indicating “(B) results by distance” and a minor classification item. It is assumed that “1,000 m” is selected. The display control unit 140 refers to the running horse information 131, acquires the results of the race with a distance of 1000 m from the past results of each running horse, and rearranges the running horses in the order of the results. Then, the display control unit 140 displays the running horse display information HI in the running horse information display area GC in the rearranged order. At this time, the display control unit 140 may display information indicating the order of rearrangement in the racehorse information display area GC. Moreover, the display control part 140 may display the same content as FIG. 4 in the racehorse display information HI, and may display the information according to conditions. For example, when the display condition is “(B) results by distance”, the display control unit 140 may display a list of past results of the running horse in the running horse display information HI as shown in FIG. .

  As described above, when the display condition selected by the user is a condition that can be ranked, the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 220 to display the information of the running horses in the order arranged according to the selected condition. When there are a plurality of running horses in the same rank, the display control unit 140 may display the running horses in that rank in the order of horse numbers or may be displayed according to other conditions.

  A case will be described in which the display condition selected by the user is not a condition that can be ranked. For example, when the display condition selected by the user is the name of a running horse, the display control unit 140 may display the running horses in the order of 50 notes. When the condition selected by the user is the gender of the running horse, the display control unit 140 may display, for example, “stallion”, “mare”, and “Senma” in this order. In addition, when “gender” is selected as the major classification item, and “mare” is selected as the minor classification item, the display control unit 140 displays only the running horses that meet this condition in the running horse information display area GC. May be. The display order at this time may be horse number or horse age order.

  In this way, the display control unit 140 can display the racehorse display information HI on the display unit 220 based on the display conditions. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 100 can provide the user with information regarding the racehorse that satisfies the condition desired by the user.

  And if a user inputs anticipation from the state of FIG. 5, the reception part 120 will receive the input operation information. And since the received operation information is information which shows operation which inputs anticipation, the reception part 120 preserve | saves this operation content. Then, the display control unit 140 controls the display unit 220 so that the user's prediction is displayed in the prediction input area GD according to the operation information.

  For example, it is assumed that the user selects a running horse whose horse number is “1” (running horse whose name is XXX) from the state of FIG. An example of the screen at this time is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the horse number “1” of the running horse selected by the user is displayed in the ◎ column of the predicted input area GD.

  Here, the user has selected a running horse from the screen of FIG. The screen in FIG. 5 is a screen when the display condition selected by the user is “score by distance”. When the user selects a running horse based on this screen, there is a high possibility that this running horse has been selected based on the results by distance. Therefore, the reception unit 120 considers that the user has selected (estimated) the running horse with the horse number “1” based on the “results by distance”. Then, the reception unit 120 includes the user information of the user who made the prediction, the prediction mark (in this case, ◎), the information indicating the selected running horse (for example, the horse number), and the reason for selection (“by distance” Grades)) and save.

  Then, when the user presses the confirmation button B shown in FIG. 6 or the purchase deadline time is reached, the reception unit 120 stores the saved operation content as the prediction information 133 in the storage unit 130. In addition, the timing which stores the operation content preserve | saved by the reception part 120 in the memory | storage part 130 is not limited to this, and may be whenever a user inputs anticipation.

  In addition, the method in which a user selects a running horse is not specifically limited. For example, the user may input a prediction by selecting a prediction mark displayed in each racehorse information in the racehorse information display area GC. In addition, the user may input the prediction by dragging each of the starting horse information in the starting horse information display area GC into any prediction mark frame in the prediction input area GD.

  In addition, the display control unit 140 may control the display unit 220 so that a screen indicating that is displayed at the purchase deadline time.

  The storage unit 130 stores running horse information 131, held race information 132, and prediction information 133. The storage unit 130 may be built in the information processing apparatus 100 or may be realized by a storage device separate from the information processing apparatus 100.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the prediction information 133 stored in the storage unit 130. In FIG. 7, it is assumed that users who can view the information processing apparatus 300 are user A to user D, and these four users belong to one group. The prediction information 133 includes information regarding prediction for each user in units of groups. As shown in FIG. 7, as the prediction information of user A, prediction mark “「 ”, horse number“ 1 ”, and selection reason 1“ results by distance ”are stored. As described above, the prediction information 133 includes the selected starting horse and the prediction reason (selection reason) as a result of the user predicting and winning the race against the race. The column of “reason for selection 2” in FIG. 7 will be described later. Similarly, prediction information of user B, user C, and user D is also stored. As described above, the prediction information 133 of the storage unit 130 stores prediction information of all users who can vote for the race (four people in this embodiment) using the operation terminal 200 for each race.

  The counting unit 150 receives the race result from the receiving unit 110. Further, the totaling unit 150 acquires the prediction information 133 from the storage unit 130. Then, the counting unit 150 confirms whether or not the arrival horse is included in the prediction information 133. Then, when the running horse included in the prediction information 133 is an incoming horse, the totaling unit 150 extracts a selection reason associated with the incoming horse. Here, in this embodiment, the entering horses are run horses from 1st to 3rd, but only 1st, 5th, etc. may be used. Also good. Then, the totaling unit 150 counts the number of each selection reason, and specifies a predetermined number of selection reasons in order from the largest selection reason.

  For example, it is assumed that the running horse with the horse number “1” is 1st, the running horse with the horse number “3” is 2nd, and the running horse with the horse number “8” is 3rd. In FIG. 7, the user A makes the horses with the horse number “1”, the horse number “3”, and the horse number “8”, “results by distance”, “name of jockey”, “results by distance”, respectively. This is the reason for selection. Further, the user B selects the running horses with the horse number “1” and the horse number “3” for the selection reasons of “results by distance” and “name of the starting horse”, respectively. In addition, the user C selects the running horses with the horse number “3” and the horse number “8” for the selection reasons of “running horse name” and “horse weight”, respectively. In addition, the user D selects the horses with the horse number “1”, the horse number “3”, and the horse number “8” as “results by distance”, “name of the horse”, and “name of the jockey”, respectively. Selected for a reason. As a result, when the number of reasons for selection of arrival horses is counted, “Results by distance” is 4 votes, “Starting horse name” is 3 votes, “Jockey name” is 2 votes, “Horse weight” is 1 vote.

  Then, the aggregation unit 150 specifies a predetermined number of selection reasons to be displayed on the display unit 310 of the display device 300. In the present embodiment, the predetermined number is three. Therefore, the totaling unit 150 identifies “results by distance”, “name of running horse”, and “name of jockey” as the reasons for selecting the arrival horse. Then, the totaling unit 150 outputs the identified reason for selecting the arrival horse to the display control unit 140 as a totaling result.

  Thereafter, the display control unit 140 receives the totaling result from the totaling unit 150. Then, the display control unit 140 controls the display unit 310 of the display device 300 to display information indicating the reason for selecting the arrival horse based on the counting result. At this time, the display control unit 140 may control the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 to display information indicating the reason for selecting the landing horse. FIG. 8 shows an example of the reason for selecting the arrival horse displayed on the display unit 310.

  A part or all of the screen of the display unit 310 displays the reason for selecting the arrival horse as shown in FIG. The reason for selecting the arrival horse may be in the order of votes, or in another order. In addition, the display control unit 140 may cause the display unit 310 to display the selection reason having a large number of votes so that the selection reason is more conspicuous than the other selection reasons. Thus, the method for displaying the reason for selecting the arrival horse is not particularly limited.

  When the arrival horse is not included in the prediction information 133, the totaling unit 150 does not need to output any information to the display control unit 140, and there was no user who predicted the arrival horse. May be output. In this case, the display control unit 140 does not have to display anything in the place where the reason for selection of the incoming horse is displayed, and displays information indicating that no user predicted the incoming horse. 310 may be displayed, or other information may be displayed.

[Processing flow of information processing apparatus 100]
Next, the flow of processing of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a selection reason input process in the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, first, the receiving unit 120 confirms whether or not the current time is the purchase deadline time of the voting ticket (step S1). If it is not the purchase deadline time (NO in step S1), an input operation is performed. Is confirmed (step S2). If an input operation has not been received (NO in step S2), reception unit 120 performs the process in step S1.

  When an input operation is received (YES in step S2), reception unit 120 confirms whether or not the received input operation is an operation for inputting a prediction (step S3). When the input operation is an operation for inputting a prediction (YES in step S3), the reception unit 120 stores the operation content (step S4). And the display control part 140 displays the screen according to input operation on the display part 220, as shown, for example in FIG. 6 (step S5). Note that step S4 and step S5 may be performed simultaneously or in reverse order.

  After step S5 ends, the information processing apparatus 100 returns the process to step S1 and accepts an input operation until the purchase deadline time is reached.

  If the input operation is not an operation for inputting a prediction (NO in step S3), reception unit 120 checks whether or not the input operation is a press of confirm button B (step S6). If the input operation is not pressing the enter button B (NO in step S6), the receiving unit 120 outputs the operation content to the display control unit 140, and the display control unit 140 displays a screen corresponding to the input operation. 220 is displayed (step S7). The operation in which the input operation is not an expected input and the determination button B is not pressed is an operation for changing the display such as swipe or an operation for inputting a display condition described above.

  After step S5 ends, the information processing apparatus 100 returns the process to step S1 and accepts an input operation until the purchase deadline time is reached.

  When the input operation is pressing of the confirm button B (YES in step S6), or when the current time is the voting ticket purchase deadline time (YES in step S1), the receiving unit 120 stores the operation stored in step S4. The contents are stored in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133 (step S8).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 100 ends the selection reason input process. In this way, the information processing apparatus 100 collects user prediction information from all the operation terminals 200 and stores it in the storage unit 130.

  Next, the aggregation process of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the aggregation process in the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, the receiving unit 110 receives a race result from the organizer-side server 400 (step S11). Next, the totaling unit 150 checks whether or not the first to third arrival horses are included in the prediction information 133 (step S12). If the arrival horse is not included in the prediction information 133 (NO in step S12), the information processing apparatus 100 ends the process. When the arrival horse is included in the prediction information 133 (YES in step S12), the totaling unit 150 extracts and tabulates the selection reasons associated with each incoming horse (step S13).

  Then, the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 310 to display the reason for selecting the arrival horse based on the counting result of the counting unit 150 (step S14).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 100 ends the aggregation process.

  As a result, it is possible to easily share within the group what point the user in the same group (in this embodiment, a group consisting of user A to user D) has focused on.

〔effect〕
As described above, the reception unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment receives the operation information (selection information) including the racehorse and the selection reason selected for the race as the prediction information 133. And stored in the storage unit 130. And the total part 150 totals the selection reason linked | related with the run horse (entry horse) contained within the predetermined order after completion | finish of a race among the run horses contained in the prediction information 133. FIG. Thereafter, the display control unit 140 causes the display device 300 or the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 that can be viewed by a plurality of users who can vote for the race to display information based on the counting result. At this time, the selected horse is a horse that is expected to arrive.

  Thereby, when the racehorse which each user anticipated arrives, all the users who belong to the same group confirm the expected reason of the racehorse that arrived for this race by looking at the display device 300. be able to. Therefore, the prediction of each user belonging to the same group can be easily shared within the group. Therefore, according to the system 1 and the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, all users belonging to the group can enjoy the public competition.

  Moreover, the selection reason displayed on the display unit 220 of the display device 300 or the operation terminal 200 is a predetermined number of selection reasons from a large number of selection reasons among the counting results of the selection reasons associated with the entered racehorse. is there. Thereby, the point which the user who belongs to the same group attaches importance can be shared between users.

  Further, when a running horse is selected from the running horse display information displayed based on the display condition, the receiving unit 120 receives the display condition as a reason for selecting the running horse. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 100 can acquire, as a selection reason, a point that is regarded as important when the user selects a running horse without causing the user to separately select a point.

[Change the reason for selection]
In the above description, the configuration is described in which the display condition is set as the reason for selection when the start horse is selected from the start horse display information HI displayed based on the display condition. However, the reason for selection may be changed. The changing method will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection reason selection screen displayed on the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 according to the present embodiment.

  For example, when the user presses the confirmation button B shown in FIG. 6, the display control unit 140 displays the selection reason selection (change) screen shown in FIG. 11 as the entire screen of the display unit 220 or a pop-up screen. The selection reason displayed on this screen may be at least one of the information indicating each of (a), (c) to (s), and (A) to (D) described above.

  When the reason for selection at the time of making the prediction is “horse weight”, the selection reason “horse weight” is displayed on the display unit 220 in a state where the selection reason “horse weight” is selected in advance on the selection reason selection screen shown in FIG. May be. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, when the user further selects the burden weight and presses the “decision” button, there are two reasons for selecting the target running horse: “horse weight” and “burden weight”. Thereby, in the prediction information 133, for example, the added selection reason “payment amount” is added to the column of “selection reason 2” in the row of the circle of user C in FIG. The display timing of the selection reason selection screen may be before the confirmation button B is pressed.

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 100 can display the screen for adding and changing the selection reason on the operation terminal 200. As a result, the user can easily add and change the reason for selecting the prediction.

[Another example of totaling unit 150]
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the totaling unit 150 totals the reasons for selection. However, the totaling unit 150 may weight the selection reasons and perform the totaling process. For example, the totaling unit 150 may give a weight according to the rank to the selection reason. For example, the totaling unit 150 may give a higher weight to the first-runner than the third-runner. And the total part 150 may total the selection reason which provided the weight. Thereby, the reason for selecting the first-running horse can be shared within the group.

  Moreover, the method of assigning weights is not limited to this, and for example, the counting unit 150 may assign weights according to the prediction mark.

<Second Embodiment>
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an information processing apparatus 101 instead of the information processing apparatus 100 described above. FIG. 12 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of functional configurations of the information processing apparatus 101, the operation terminal 200, and the display apparatus 300 of the system 1 according to the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those included in the drawings described in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

  As illustrated in FIG. 12, the information processing apparatus 101 includes a reception unit 110, a reception unit 121, a display control unit 141, a totaling unit 151, a storage unit 160, and a transmission unit 190. The storage unit 160 stores running horse information 131, held race information 132, and purchase information 134.

  Similar to the display control unit 140, the display control unit 141 controls display of information on the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 and the display unit 310 of the display device 300. In addition to the screen displayed on the display unit 220 by the display control unit 140 described above, the display control unit 141 further displays a voting ticket purchase screen. The voting ticket purchase screen may be any screen or an existing voting ticket purchase screen.

  In addition, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 220 to display a selection screen on which the reason for selecting the number included in the voting ticket purchased by the user can be input. Generally, when purchasing a voting ticket, a horse number or a frame number is designated and purchased. This horse number is one-to-one associated with the running horse. The frame number is associated with one or a plurality of running horses. Therefore, it can be said that the reason for selecting the number included in the voting ticket is the reason for selecting the racehorse associated with this number.

  The selection screen may be displayed on the entire screen or may be displayed on the purchase screen in a pop-up. The selection screen is, for example, the same screen as in FIG. 11 described above, but the content and form of the screen are not particularly limited.

  Similarly to the above-described receiving unit 120, the receiving unit 121 receives an operation for changing a display, an operation for inputting a prediction, and an operation for determining a prediction as input operations performed by the user on the input unit 210. Furthermore, the reception unit 121 receives an operation of purchasing a voting ticket and an operation of inputting a reason for selecting a number included in the purchased voting ticket. In the following, the received operation information, which is different from the reception unit 120, is information indicating an operation for confirming the prediction, information indicating an operation for purchasing a voting ticket, and selection of a number included in the purchased voting ticket. A case of information indicating an operation for inputting a reason will be described.

  When the received operation information is information indicating an operation for determining the prediction, the reception unit 121 outputs a notification indicating that the prediction is determined to the display control unit 141. Thereby, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 220 to display the above-described voting ticket purchase screen.

  When the received operation information is information indicating an operation for purchasing a voting ticket, the reception unit 121 specifies information on the purchased voting ticket based on the operation information. And the reception part 121 outputs the information (purchase data) of the voting ticket purchased to the transmission part 190. FIG. In the present embodiment, the operation for purchasing a voting ticket is described as, for example, pressing a purchase button arranged on the purchase screen.

  Moreover, the reception part 121 preserve | saves the operation content, when the received operation information is information which shows operation which inputs the selection reason of the number contained in the purchased voting ticket. Specifically, the reception unit 121 receives the user information, the information indicating the purchased voting ticket, and the number included in the selected voting ticket based on the received user information and the operation information. Associate the reason for selection. The receiving unit 121 stores the associated information as purchase information 134 in the storage unit 130.

  Here, FIG. 13 shows an example of the purchase information 134 stored in the storage unit 130. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the purchase information 134 includes a user name, information indicating a voting ticket (voting ticket type and number), and a selection reason. Note that the information included in the purchase information 134 is not limited to this.

  The reason for selection may include the reason for selecting each of the running horses included in the voting ticket. For example, in FIG. 13, the user A has purchased a “1-2” voting ticket with a horse run. The selection reason includes a selection reason for selecting the starting horse with the horse number “1” and the starting horse with the horse number “2”. The reason for selection is not limited to this, and for each voting ticket, a selection reason for selecting (purchasing) a set of running horses included in the voting ticket may be included. In the above example, the selection reason may include the selection reason for selecting “1-2”. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when a voting ticket “1-4” is purchased for a single horse, the reason for selecting the starting horse (running horse with horse number “1”) on the left side is selected ( “Results by distance”) is included in the column for selection reason 1 and the reason for selection (“pedigree”) for selecting the next running horse (running horse with horse number “4”) is in the column for selection reason 2 May be included.

  If the starting horse indicated by the horse number included in the purchased voting ticket is the same as the starting horse selected at the time of prediction, the reason for selection at the time of prediction is the same as at the time of purchase. It may be stored as a selection reason. For example, if the reason for selection at the time of making the prediction is “horse weight”, even if this reason for selection “horse weight” is displayed on the display unit 220 in a pre-selected state on the selection screen shown in FIG. Good. When the user adds a reason for selection, the added reason for selection is added to any column of the reason for selection shown in FIG. Further, when the user changes the reason for selection, the contents of the reason for selection in FIG. 13 are updated.

  The transmission unit 190 receives purchase data from the reception unit 121, and transmits the purchase data to a server (for example, the organizer-side server 400) that processes purchase of a voting ticket.

  The counting unit 151 receives the race result from the receiving unit 110. In addition, the aggregation unit 151 acquires the purchase information 134 from the storage unit 130. Then, the counting unit 151 confirms whether or not the number associated with the arrival horse is included in the purchase information 134, and if the number is included in the purchase information 134, the selection reason associated with this number is displayed. Extract. At this time, the totalization unit 151 may extract only the reason for selecting the number included in the selected voting ticket among the purchased voting tickets. Here, the hit voting ticket means a voting ticket that generates a dividend.

  Further, when any of the purchased voting tickets includes a number associated with the landing horse, the totaling unit 151 may extract the reason for selecting the number. Then, the totaling unit 151 counts the number of each selection reason, and specifies a predetermined number of selection reasons in order from the large number of selection reasons. The aggregation method of the aggregation unit 151 is the same as that of the aggregation unit 150, and thus description thereof is omitted.

[Flow of processing of information processing apparatus 101]
Next, the processing flow of the information processing apparatus 101 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the selection reason input process in the information processing apparatus 101 according to this embodiment. In FIG. 14, steps S1 to S7 are the same as steps S1 to S7 shown in FIG. If the current time is the voting ticket purchase deadline time (YES in step S1), the information processing apparatus 101 ends the selection reason input process.

  If YES in step S6, that is, if the input operation is a press of the confirm button, the display control unit 141 displays a purchase screen on the display unit 220 (step S21).

  And the reception part 121 confirms whether the input operation which shows pressing-down of a purchase button was received (step S22). The receiving unit 121 repeats this process until the purchase button is pressed. The reception unit 121 confirms whether or not the current time is the voting ticket deadline time, and ends the selection reason input process when the voting ticket purchase deadline time is reached. When the purchase button is pressed (YES in step S22), transmission unit 190 transmits the purchase data to a server that processes purchase of a voting ticket (step S23).

  And the display control part 141 displays the selection screen on the display part 220 (step S24). The reception unit 121 stores the selected reason for selection as purchase information 134 in the storage unit 130 (step S25).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 101 ends the selection reason input process. In this manner, the information processing apparatus 101 collects information regarding purchase of a voting ticket from the operation terminal 200 operated by a user who has purchased a voting ticket, and stores the information in the storage unit 130.

  In addition, although it demonstrated that the selection screen was displayed after transmitting purchase data, purchase data may be transmitted after a selection screen is displayed and the user selects the reason for selection. When the current time is before a predetermined time of the purchase deadline time (for example, 5 minutes before), the selection screen is displayed before the purchase data is transmitted, and when the current time is after the predetermined time of the purchase deadline time (for example, The selection screen may be displayed after the purchase data is transmitted until the purchase deadline is 5 minutes or less.

  Next, the aggregation process of the information processing apparatus 101 will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the aggregation process in the information processing apparatus 101 according to this embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, first, the receiving unit 110 receives a race result from the organizer-side server 400 (step S11). Next, the totaling unit 151 confirms whether or not the number associated with the first to third arrival horses is included in the purchase information 134 (step S31). If the number is not included in purchase information 134 (NO in step S31), information processing apparatus 101 ends the process. When the number is included in purchase information 134 (YES in step S31), tabulation unit 151 extracts and tabulates the selection reasons associated with each number (step S32).

  Then, similarly to the first embodiment, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 310 to display the reason for selecting the arrival horse based on the counting result of the counting unit 151 (step S14).

  As described above, the information processing apparatus 101 ends the aggregation process.

〔effect〕
As described above, the information processing apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment selects the above number for this race when each user arrives a racehorse associated with the number included in the purchased voting ticket. Reasons for selection can be easily shared with groups.

  The purchase information includes the competition object (horse number or frame number) included in the voting ticket purchased by the user and the reason for selecting the competition object. Then, the counting unit 151 counts the reasons for selection associated with the competition object when the race horse (horse number or frame number) is included in the predetermined rank.

  As a result, according to the information processing apparatus 101, a user in the same group (in this embodiment, a group including user A to user D) pays attention to which point the number ( It is possible to easily share within the group whether the horse number of the starting horse or the frame number of the starting horse) has been selected. Therefore, according to the information processing apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment, like the information processing apparatus 100, all users belonging to the group can enjoy the public competition.

  Note that, like the totaling unit 150, the totaling unit 151 may weight the selection reason and perform the totaling process. For example, the totaling unit 151 may give a weight according to the order to the selection reason. Thereby, the reason for selecting the first-running horse can be shared within the group.

<Third Embodiment>
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an information processing apparatus 102 instead of the information processing apparatus 100 or the information processing apparatus 101 described above. The information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the information processing apparatus 100 and the information processing apparatus 101 are combined.

  FIG. 16 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of functional configurations of the information processing apparatus 102, the operation terminal 200, and the display apparatus 300 of the system 1 according to the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as the members included in the drawings described in the first and second embodiments described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  As illustrated in FIG. 16, the information processing apparatus 102 includes a reception unit 110, a reception unit 122, a display control unit 142, a totaling unit 152, a storage unit 170, and a transmission unit 190. The storage unit 170 stores running horse information 131, held race information 132, prediction information 133, and purchase information 134.

  The reception unit 122 has the function of the reception unit 120 and the function of the reception unit 121. The display control unit 142 has the function of the display control unit 140 and the function of the display control unit 141. Further, the totaling unit 152 has the function of the totaling unit 150 and the function of the totaling unit 151. Furthermore, the totaling unit 152 has a function of performing weighting. This function will be described later.

[Flow of processing of information processing apparatus 102]
Next, the processing flow of the information processing apparatus 102 will be described. 17 and 18 are flowcharts illustrating an example of the flow of selection reason input processing in the information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 17, steps S1 to S8 are the same processes as steps S1 to S8 shown in FIG. If the current time is the voting ticket purchase deadline time (YES in step S1), the accepting unit 122 stores the operation content saved in step S4 in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133 (step S1). S41). This process is the same as step S8. Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 102 ends the selection reason input process. After step S8 in FIG. 17 ends, the information processing apparatus 102 advances the process to step S21 in FIG.

  Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 102 performs steps S21 to S25 in FIG. The processing from step S21 to step S25 is the same as the processing from step S21 to step S25 described with reference to FIG. As a result, the information processing apparatus 102 ends the selection reason input process.

  Next, the counting process of the information processing apparatus 102 will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the aggregation process in the information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 19, first, the receiving unit 110 receives a race result from the organizer-side server 400 (step S11). Next, the counting unit 152 confirms whether or not the first to third arrival horses are included in the prediction information 133 (step S12). If the arrival horse is not included in the prediction information 133 (NO in step S12), the information processing apparatus 102 ends the process. When the arrival horse is included in the prediction information 133 (YES in step S12), the counting unit 152 indicates that the number (horse number or frame number) associated with the arrival horse included in the prediction information 133 is the purchase information 134. (Step S51).

  When the purchase information 134 includes a number associated with the incoming horse included in the prediction information 133 (YES in step S51), the counting unit 152 performs weighting. Specifically, the totaling unit 152 gives a weight to the selection reason associated with this number (step S52). This weight is given when the purchase information 134 includes a number associated with the incoming horse included in the prediction information 133. This weight may be changed according to the arrival order or the expected mark, or may be changed depending on whether the voting ticket is hit or not.

  For example, it is assumed that the running horse with the horse number “1” is 1st, the running horse with the horse number “3” is 2nd, and the running horse with the horse number “8” is 3rd. When inputting the prediction, the user A selects the horses with the horse number “1”, the horse number “3”, and the horse number “8” as “the results by distance”, “the jockey name”, “the results by distance”, respectively. ”For the selection reason. Then, it is assumed that the user A has purchased a voting ticket including a running horse with the horse number “1”. At this time, it is assumed that the user A has selected the running horse with the horse number “1” included in the voting ticket for the selection reason of “results by distance”. At this time, the totaling unit 152 weights the selection reason “results by distance” associated with the horse number “1” included in the voting ticket. For example, the counting unit 152 gives a weight so that the “results by distance” can be counted as two votes at the time of counting. The weighting method is not limited to this, and may be the same method as that of the totaling unit 150 or the totaling unit 151 described above.

  After step S52, or when the number associated with the incoming horse included in the prediction information 133 is not included in the purchase information 134 (NO in step S51), the reasons for selecting each incoming horse are extracted and tabulated. (Step S53).

  And the display control part 141 displays the selection reason on the display part 310 based on the total result of the total part 152 similarly to 1st Embodiment (step S14).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 102 ends the aggregation process.

  Thereby, according to the information processing apparatus 102, the user in the same group (group consisting of the user A to the user D in the present embodiment) pays attention to which point the predicted racehorse is selected and Whether the number included in the purchased voting ticket has been selected can be easily shared within the group.

  Thus, according to the information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the information processing apparatus 100 and the information processing apparatus 101 described above can be obtained.

<Fourth embodiment>
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an information processing apparatus 103 instead of the information processing apparatus 100, the information processing apparatus 101, or the information processing apparatus 102 described above. Note that the information processing apparatus 103 according to the present embodiment will be described with respect to a minimum configuration that solves the problems of the present invention.

  FIG. 20 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 103 according to the present embodiment. The information processing apparatus 103 according to the present embodiment includes a reception unit 123, a display control unit 143, and a totaling unit 153.

  The reception unit 123 receives selection information including a competition target and a selection reason selected for the race. The reception unit 123 receives this selection information for each user. Then, the received selection information is output to the totaling unit 153.

  The aggregation unit 153 receives selection information from the reception unit 123. And the totaling part 153 totals the selection reasons linked | related with the competition object contained within the predetermined order in the said race after completion | finish of a race among the competition objects contained in selection information. The aggregation unit 153 outputs the aggregation result to the display control unit 143.

  The display control unit 143 receives the aggregation result from the aggregation unit 153. Then, the display control unit 143 displays information based on the counting result on at least one display device that can be viewed by a plurality of users who can vote for the race. This display device may be a display device that can be viewed by all users, or may be a display device that can be viewed by one or more users.
