[First Embodiment]
First, the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment.

The information processing apparatus 1 is, for example, a computer that performs information processing related to public competitions. The information processing apparatus 1 includes an acquisition unit 2 and a control unit 3.
The acquisition unit 2 acquires voting information 4a, expansion prediction information 5a, and player information 6a. The control unit 3 generates the display image 7a based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit 2.

  The voting information 4a is information related to sales of voting tickets in public competitions. For example, the betting ceremonies subject to voting, the order of arrival corresponding to the betting ceremonies, the sales order of voting tickets (the popularity ranking of voting tickets), Information such as sales, odds calculated based on sales of voting tickets, and the like. The betting method (voting method) includes single win type (single win), double win type (double win), two consecutive wins (two singles), two consecutive wins (two doubles), three consecutive wins (three singles), There are three consecutive winning combinations (three consecutive). The arrival order corresponding to the wager is information that uniquely identifies the race participants (players, horses, etc.) (car number, horse number, etc.) in the order in which they are expected to reach the goal in the race. is there. For example, in the betting ceremony “triple unit”, if the first car number is “9”, the second car number is “3” and the third car number is expected to be “8” The arrival order corresponding to the betting type can be expressed as “9-3-8”.

  The expected development information 5a is expected information regarding the development during the race that affects the race result, that is, the relationship between the race participants, and information that the voter (user, customer, etc.) uses as a reference for voting for the expected arrival order. It is. The expansion prediction information 5a includes, for example, a line prediction for a bicycle race, a pace prediction for a horse race, and an entry prediction for a boat race.

  The player information 6a is individual information regarding participants who participate in the race. For example, the player information 6a associates the player's car number with any one of the player's rank, name, affiliation bicycle race track, origin prefecture, division of origin prefecture, average competition score, leg quality, age, and period. Information.

  Here, an example of a bicycle race will be described. The acquisition unit acquires voting information 4b, expansion prediction information 5b, and player information 6b. The voting information 4b is information in which the arrival order “9-3-8” and the odds “2.2” are associated with each other for the first race “1R” and the betting ceremony “3 singles”. The expansion prediction information 5b is line information “9-1, 5-8-4-7, 3-6-2” in the first race “1R”. The line information is information indicating the arrangement order of the car numbers constituting the line in the bicycle race. For example, “9-1” in the line information indicates the arrangement order of the vehicle numbers in which the vehicle number “9” on the first line is the first and the vehicle number “1” is the second.

  The player information 6b is information that associates the car numbers of the players who participate in the first race “1R” with the individual information of the players. The player information 6b is, for example, information in which the car number “1” is associated with the rank “S1” of the player of the car number. In the same manner, the vehicle number “9” is associated with the rank “SS”.

  The control unit 3 arranges the unit areas 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8g, 8h, and 8i displaying the vehicle numbers based on the predicted expansion information 5b. The unit area is a section for displaying information, and is a display area having a role as a grid. Specifically, the vehicle number “9” is displayed in the unit area 8a according to the line information. Similarly, the vehicle number “2” is displayed in the unit area 8i.

  The control unit 3 has unit areas 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8g, 8h, and 8i that display the vehicle numbers and unit areas 8j, 8k, and 8l that display player information of the players who participate in the vehicle numbers. , 8m, 8n, 8o, 8p, 8q, and 8r. Specifically, the unit area 8a displaying the vehicle number “9” is associated with the unit area 8j displaying the rank “SS” that is the player information of the vehicle number “9”. Similarly, the unit area 8i displaying the car number “2” and the unit area 8r displaying the rank “A1” that is the player information of the car number “2” are associated with each other.

  The control part 3 produces | generates the display image 7b which provided the symbol which shows an arrival order to unit area 8a-8i which displayed the vehicle number based on the arrival order contained in the voting information 4b. Specifically, based on the arrival order “9-3-8”, a symbol indicating the first arrival is assigned to the unit area 8a displaying the vehicle number “9” expected to be the first arrival. Similarly, a symbol indicating second place is given to the unit area 8g displaying the car number “3” expected to be second place. Similarly, a symbol indicating the third place is given to the unit area 8d displaying the car number “8” expected to be the third place. In this way, the display image 7b is generated. In the display image 7b, symbols indicating “first,” “second,” and “third” are used as symbols indicating the arrival order, but Roman numerals “I”, “II”, “III”, Other symbols (marks such as medals and championship cups) may be used. Further, the method of indicating the arrival order is not limited to adding symbols, and the arrival order can be indicated by a color corresponding to the arrival order, the shape of the frame of the unit area, or the like.

For example, the control unit may receive a notification that the odds information has been changed from the management device 13 and update the image. This is because the odds information is information that changes according to the sales situation of the voting ticket, and is information that needs to be updated until the end of the voting ticket purchase deadline.

Next, player information according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of player information according to the second embodiment.
The player information 100 is information regarding a player who runs in a race. The player information 100 is input to the management device 13 and managed for each race. The player information 100 is transmitted from the management device 13 to the information processing device 14 and stored in the HDD 33 of the information processing device 14. The player information 100 includes “vehicle number”, “player name”, “affiliated bicycle race track”, “prefecture”, “district”, “east-west”, “average competition score”, “rank”, “legality”, and “ Includes "age" and "by period".

  “Car number” is a number assigned to a player who starts a race, is identification information that can uniquely identify a player and a bicycle, and is used to designate a voting target (player) when purchasing a voting ticket. . For example, a number is uniquely set in the “vehicle number” item in order from “1”.

“Player name” is the name of the player who will run in the race. In the “player name” item, for example, the names of the players such as “Rinichiro Suzuki” and “Rinjiro Yamada” are set.
“Affiliated bicycle race track” is a bicycle race track to which players belong, and the players practice at the bicycle race track to which they belong. Therefore, it can be presumed that players in the same bicycle race track are practice companions. There is a strong connection between players who are practicing friends, and there is a high possibility of forming a line. For example, “A” or “B” and the name of the bicycle race track to which the player belongs are set in the item “Affiliation bicycle race track”.

  “Prefecture” is the administrative division of the location where the branch of the athlete's meeting is located. A player who has the same prefecture has a connection that he belongs to the same team. In the “prefecture” item, for example, “Tokyo”, “Kanagawa”, and the like are set as the prefecture where the branch of the athlete's association belongs.

  “District” is a grouping of prefectures into several groups. A player who is in the same district has a connection that the location of the player association to which he belongs is adjacent. In the “district” item, for example, “Kanto”, “Tohoku”, “Kyushu”, and the like are set to categorize prefectures where the branch of the athlete's association to which the player belongs is located. “Kanto” may be classified into “North Kanto”, “South Kanto”, and the like.

  “East and West” is a classification of Japan as east and west. A player who has the same East / West has the connection that the location of the player's association to which he belongs is in the same division where Japan is classified as East / West. In the item “East / West”, for example, “East” or “West”, which is a classification of prefectures in which prefectures where the athlete's branch belongs, is classified into East and West, is set. Items such as “Affiliated Bicycle Track”, “Prefecture”, “District”, “East and West” of the player information 100 may be used to determine line information.

  The “average competition score” is an average of the competition scores obtained by the players. A competitive score is a score given to a player according to the race's rank and order of arrival. A player with a higher “average competition score” is a player with a higher leg strength (stronger player), and the most recent state of the player can be grasped by looking at the “average competition score”. In addition, since the rank described later is promoted or demoted according to the “average competition score”, it is possible to grasp the player's penetration into the race by looking at the “average competition score”. For example, “240”, “190”, and the like are set in the “average competition score” item.

In addition, it is not limited to displaying only the top ranking in order of popularity (lowest odds number ranking), but by displaying information related to the number of low-priced car numbers, it is desirable to purchase so-called large and medium voting tickets It is also possible to enhance the provision of information to customers. Screen display processing for displaying the screen display 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

  Next, screen display processing will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart of screen display processing according to the second embodiment (part 1). FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart of screen display processing according to the second embodiment (part 2).

The screen display process is a process for disclosing display information by generating display information based on the information acquired in steps S <b> 11, S <b> 12, and S <b> 13 and outputting the display information to the information display device 15.
The screen display process is a process executed by the control unit (processor 31) of the information processing apparatus 14 in step S14 of the line related information display process.

  [Step S21] The control unit displays the vehicle number based on the line vehicle number associated with the race number to be displayed. The case where the race number to be displayed is “1” will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 9. The control unit arranges the unit areas 206 in the line areas 201 and 204 and the popularity order area 202 according to the line car number. , Display the car number.

  [Step S22] The control unit executes player information display processing. The player information display process is a process of displaying player information in association with the line car number based on the player information 100. The player information display process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  [Step S23] The control unit displays the arrival order and odds in the target order odds information. More specifically, the control unit displays the arrival order and odds in the arrival order odds area 203. The arrival order and odds included in the arrival order odds area 203 are displayed in association with the row in which the unit areas included in the popularity order area 202 are arranged.

  [Step S24] The control unit sets the odds information having the smallest odds value (first in order of popularity) as the target ranking odds information. When the race number “1” to be displayed and the betting type “triple unit” are specifically described using the odds information 120, the control unit corresponds to the minimum odds “3.4”. The finish order “1-6-9”, the race number “1”, and the betting type “triple unit” are set as the target order odds information.

  [Step S25] The control unit sets the first vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number. Specifically, using the line information 110, the control unit targets the first car number “1” among the line car numbers “1-3-5, 6-2-8, 9-4-7”. Car number.

  [Step S26] The control unit determines whether or not the arrival order of the target vehicle number is first in the target order odds information. For example, when the target vehicle number of the arrival order “1-6-9” of the target order odds information is “1” and the target vehicle number is “1”, the control unit receives the target vehicle number. It is determined that the order is first. The control unit proceeds to step S27 when the arrival order of the target vehicle number is not first, and proceeds to step S28 when it is determined that the arrival order of the target vehicle number is first.

  [Step S27] The control unit sets the next vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number. For example, when “1” is the target vehicle number among the line vehicle numbers “1-3-5, 6-2-8, 9-4-7”, the control unit sets the next vehicle number “3”. The target vehicle number. The control unit determines the next target vehicle number and proceeds to step S26.

  [Step S28] The control unit displays a symbol “I” indicating the arrival order of the first place in the unit area where the first car number is displayed. In addition, the symbol which shows the arrival order of the 1st place is an example, and it may show that it is 1st place by other displays. For example, the control unit wears the color in the unit area in which the car number corresponding to the order of arrival is displayed according to a color corresponding to a predetermined order of arrival (the first is red, the second is blue, the third is yellow, etc.). You may change and display the color according to order. In addition, the control unit displays the frame of the unit area in which the car number corresponding to the wearing order is displayed according to the frame shape (first oval is approximately oval, second is hexagon, third is triangular, etc.) according to a predetermined wearing order. The shape may be changed to a frame shape corresponding to the wearing order and displayed.

[Step S29] The control unit sets the first vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number.
[Step S30] The control unit determines whether the arrival order of the target vehicle number is second in the target order odds information. For example, when the target vehicle number is “6” and the target vehicle number is “6” in the arrival order “1-6-9” of the target order odds information, the control unit receives the target vehicle number. It is determined that the order is second. The control unit proceeds to step S31 when the arrival order of the target vehicle number is not second, and proceeds to step S32 when it is determined that the arrival order of the target vehicle number is second.

[Step S31] The control unit proceeds to step S30 with the next vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number.
[Step S32] The control unit displays a symbol “II” indicating the arrival order of the second place in the unit area where the second car number is displayed. In addition, the symbol which shows the arrival order of 2nd place is an example, and it may show that it is 2nd place by another display.

[Step S33] The control unit sets the first vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number.
[Step S34] The control unit determines whether the arrival order of the target vehicle number is third in the target order odds information. For example, when the target vehicle number is “9” and the target vehicle number is “9” in the arrival order “1-6-9” of the target order odds information, the control unit receives the target vehicle number. It is determined that the order is third place. The control unit proceeds to step S35 when the arrival order of the target vehicle number is not third, and proceeds to step S36 when it is determined that the arrival order of the target vehicle number is third.

[Step S35] The control unit proceeds to step S34 with the next vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number.
[Step S36] The control unit displays a symbol “III” indicating the arrival order of the third place in the unit area in which the number of the third place is displayed. In addition, the symbol which shows the arrival order of 3rd place is an example, and it may show that it is 3rd place by another display.

  [Step S37] The control unit determines whether or not the arrival order is displayed for all the odds information. More specifically, the race number to be displayed, which is received together with the instruction to start the display processing by the control unit, is “1”, the betting type is “single triple”, and the ranking in the order of popularity is “1st to 5th”. This will be described using the odds information 120. The control unit includes the car numbers included in the order of arrival in the odds information 120 in the order of popularity of the odds from the 1st to the 5th (the odds information from the 1st to the 5th in ascending order of the odds). It is determined whether it is displayed in the unit area of the number. In a state where only the arrival order “1-6-9” of the first popularity order (odds “3.4”) is displayed, the control unit does not display the arrival order of all ranks (the remaining rank 2). It is determined that the first to fifth positions are not displayed.

  When it is determined that the order of arrival (including symbols indicating arrival order, color, shape, etc.) is not displayed for all odds information, the control unit proceeds to step S38, and when determined to be displayed, the screen is displayed. The display process ends.

  In addition, the control unit displays a unit area in which the order of arrival (first place, second place,...) Is not assigned in all ranks (first place, second place,...) And the player corresponding to the vehicle number. The unit area (popular lower area) displaying information can be displayed differently from other unit areas. The display of the popular lower area will be described later with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

  [Step S38] The control unit sets the odds information of the next rank as the target rank odds information, and proceeds to step S25. More specifically, the race number to be displayed, which is received together with the instruction to start the display processing by the control unit, is “1”, the betting type is “single triple”, and the ranking in the order of popularity is “1st to 5th”. This will be described using the odds information 120. When the odds information corresponding to the first ranking in the popularity order (odds “3.4”) is the target ranking odds information, the control unit odds corresponding to the next ranking (the odds “5.6” in the popularity ranking) The information is the target order odds information.

Next, the player information display process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart of player information display processing according to the second embodiment.
The player information display process is a process of displaying player information in association with the line car number based on the player information 100.

The player information display process is a process executed by the control unit (processor 31) of the information processing apparatus 14 in step S22 of the screen display process.
[Step S41] The control unit sets the first vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number. Specifically, using the line information 110, the control unit targets the first car number “1” among the line car numbers “1-3-5, 6-2-8, 9-4-7”. Car number.

  [Step S42] The control unit determines whether or not the player information of the target vehicle number has been displayed. The control unit proceeds to step S45 when the player information of the target vehicle number is displayed, and proceeds to step S43 when the player information of the target vehicle number is not displayed.

  In addition, a control part displays according to the item of the player information made into display object received with the instruction | indication which starts a display process. For example, when the screen display 200 is used for explanation, it is assumed that an instruction to display four items of “age”, “by period”, “rank”, and “prefecture” as player information in the player information is received. It is a screen display and is displayed according to this instruction.

  [Step S43] The control unit displays the player information of the target vehicle number. For example, a description will be given using the screen display 200. When the target vehicle number is “1”, the display target of the vehicle number “1” is associated with the column of the vehicle number “1” displayed in the popularity order area 202 and the line areas 201 and 204 or the popularity order area 202. The player information item (age “33” by season “91” rank “SS” prefecture “Aomori”) is displayed.

  [Step S44] The control unit determines whether or not the player information of all the vehicle numbers has been displayed. The control unit proceeds to step S45 when not displaying the player information of all the car numbers, and ends the player information display process when displaying the player information of all the car numbers.

  [Step S45] The control unit sets the next vehicle number in the line vehicle number as the target vehicle number, and proceeds to step S42. For example, when “1” is the target vehicle number among the line vehicle numbers “1-3-5, 6-2-8, 9-4-7”, the control unit sets the next vehicle number “3”. The target vehicle number.

Next, a first modification of the screen display of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a first modification of the screen display according to the second embodiment.
A screen display (first modification) 300 is a first modification of the image displayed in the screen display process of the line related information display process. Hereinafter, it is described as a screen display 300. The description of the same configuration as in FIG. 9 is omitted as appropriate.

  The screen display 300 is a display in which vehicle numbers are arranged based on line vehicle numbers included in the line information, and odds information and player information are associated with the arranged vehicle numbers. The screen display 300 shows information about “17 minutes before the deadline” of the voting ticket purchase deadline (voting deadline time) at the time of display for the betting ceremony “2 singles” of the eleventh race “11R” at the bicycle racetrack “XYZ bicycle”. It is an example which displayed. The screen display 300 is a display when the line vehicle number is “9-1, 7-5-2-8, 6-3-4”. In other words, the line car number is composed of the first line “9-1”, the second line “7-5-2-8”, and the third line “6-3-4”. The screen display 300 shows that the order of arrival and odds included in the odds information are the order of arrival “9-7” odds “2.9”, the order of arrival “7-9” odds “3.1”, and the order of arrival “9”. This is a display in the case of “−6” odds “4.2”, arrival order “6-7” odds “10.3”, arrival order “1-7” odds “11.5”.

  Screen display 300 includes line areas 301 and 304, popularity order area 302, arrival order odds area 303, player information area 305, and popularity lower areas 307 and 308. The line areas 301 and 304, the popularity order area 302, the arrival order odds area 303, the player information area 305, and the popularity lower areas 307 and 308 include a unit area 306.

  The popularity order area 302 displays the vehicle number unit areas to which the order of arrival (the first place is the symbol “I” and the second place is the symbol “II”) according to the arrival order. For example, in the screen display 300, the first place is indicated by hatching with hatching, and the second place is indicated by hatching with dots (dots). Note that these displays are only examples, and the color in the unit area may be changed according to the order of arrival, the frame shape of the unit area may be changed, and other displays may be used. . This makes it easier for the customer to distinguish and grasp the arrival order. In addition, it becomes easier for the customer to grasp the vehicle number to which the arrival order is given and the vehicle number close to the vehicle number.

  The popular lower areas 307 and 308 are a unit area that displays a car number to which no arrival order (first or second) is assigned in all ranks (first to fifth), and player information corresponding to the car number. This is an area composed of displayed unit areas. Also, the popular lower areas 307 and 308 are areas that are displayed separately from the popular lower areas 307 and 308 and areas other than the popular lower area so as to run vertically through the popularity order area 302 and the player information area 305. In the screen display 300, the frame shape of the unit area 306 included in the popular lower areas 307 and 308 is distinguished and displayed by a substantially elliptical shape, but the popular lower areas 307 and 308 are distinguished and displayed by other displays. Also good.

  By displaying the popular lower areas 307 and 308 differently from other unit areas, a customer who wants to purchase a so-called large hole or medium hole voting ticket will receive which car number in the lower popular car number. It becomes easy to consider whether the probability is high.

  Customers simply purchase voting tickets that do not compare the line development and information of each player in the race simply by looking at the arrival order of the car numbers with high odds (lowest popularity). Could end up.

  However, by using the screen display 300, a car number in which the popularity order is a lower order car number and a higher arrival order is given while considering the configuration of the line to which the top order player belongs. It becomes possible to consider the purchase of a voting ticket for the car number immediately after. For example, among the car numbers included in the popular lower areas 307 and 308, the second car number “5” on the second line is the second car number “7” in the popularity order, first place, fourth place and fifth place. The order of arrival is given, and the order of arrival of the first place is given in second place in popularity order. For this reason, although the car number “5” has the lowest popularity order, it is assumed that the car number “5” may win a higher rank by developing the race as a successor to the car number “7” that is assumed to be the higher order.

  Further, by examining the player information area 305 included in the popular lower areas 307 and 308, the customer is expected to have a higher probability of being hit even if the order of popularity is lower, such as younger players or higher ranked players. You can consider purchasing a voting ticket for the player's car number. For example, in the popular lower areas 307 and 308, the car number “5” is given the highest rank “SS” among the car numbers included in the popular lower areas 307 and 308. The car number “3” is given the youngest age “27” among the car numbers included in the popular lower areas 307 and 308. From such information, the customer can consider purchasing voting tickets for these car numbers, assuming that the car number “5” or the car number “3” is promising. In this way, the customer uses the information displayed on the screen display 300 to select a promising car number as a large hole or medium hole from the popular lower areas 307 and 308 and consider purchasing a voting ticket. Can do.

  Therefore, the information processing device 14 provides the customer with information for purchasing a voting ticket for a large hole or a medium hole that is expected to have a higher probability of winning than a voting ticket for a large hole or a medium hole that only considers the order of arrival or odds. Can be provided.

This is an area composed of unit areas displaying corresponding player information. Further, the popular lower areas 407 and 408 are areas that are displayed by distinguishing the popular lower areas 407 and 408 and areas other than the popular lower area so as to run vertically through the popularity order area 402 and the player information area 405.

  The popular lower areas 407 and 408 are displayed separately according to the item of player information associated with each vehicle number. For example, the unit area associated with the rank “S1” of the player information is displayed with hatched hatching, and the unit area associated with the rank “A1” is displayed with dotted hatching.

  In the popular lower areas 407 and 408, the display differentiated according to the item “rank” is merely an example, and may be distinguished according to other items. For example, when the items “rank” included in the popular lower area 407 are all the same, they may be displayed separately according to the item “average competition score” and the item “legality”.

  Further, in the popular lower areas 407 and 408, the display may be made in accordance with the item “prefecture”. For example, when a race is held at a bicycle racetrack located in Fukuoka Prefecture, the item "Prefecture" calls the customer's attention with the car number associated with "Fukuoka" and the information associated with that car number. The character size may be increased or the characters may be displayed in red. By distinguishing and displaying the item “prefecture” that matches the prefecture where the bicycle racetrack is located, it is possible to provide information that contributes to improving services for local customers and selling voting tickets for local players.

  In this way, the screen display 400 can provide information that can contribute to sales of voting tickets for car numbers that are in descending popularity by displaying them separately in the popular lower regions 407 and 408 according to the player information items. . In addition, since the screen display 400 displays the unit areas in which the car numbers are displayed in the popularity order area 402 according to the ranking of the most popular, the order is displayed, so that information on the car numbers having the most popular order is also provided. it can.

In this way, the information processing apparatus 14 can provide reference information for purchasing a voting ticket based on the player information, the line information, and the odds information.
The above processing functions can be realized by a computer. In that case, a program describing the processing contents of the functions that the information processing apparatus 1 or the information processing apparatus 14 should have is provided. By executing the program on a computer, the above processing functions are realized on the computer. The program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium (including a portable recording medium). Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a magnetic recording device, an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, and a semiconductor memory. Examples of the magnetic recording device include a hard disk device (HDD), a flexible disk (FD), and a magnetic tape. Examples of the optical disc include a DVD, a DVD-RAM, a CD-ROM, and a CD-R / RW. Magneto-optical recording media include MO (Magneto-Optical disk).

  When distributing the program, for example, portable recording media such as a DVD and a CD-ROM in which the program is recorded are sold. It is also possible to store the program in a storage device of a server computer and transfer the program from the server computer to another computer via a network.

  The computer that executes the program stores, for example, the program recorded on the portable recording medium or the program transferred from the server computer in its own storage device. Then, the computer reads the program from its own storage device and executes processing according to the program. The computer can also read a program directly from a portable recording medium and execute processing according to the program. In addition, each time the program is transferred from the server computer, the computer can sequentially execute processing according to the received program.

The above-described embodiment can be variously modified within a range not departing from the gist of the embodiment.
Further, the above-described embodiments can be modified and changed in many ways by those skilled in the art, and are not limited to the exact configurations and application examples described.
