Description

The present invention relates to a voting method based on support and a system using the same.

When cheering for a competition such as sports or smartphone games, individuals or companies provide support for specific groups or athletes.
For individuals, voting was generally free or by purchasing a voting ticket.

If the event is free, you can watch it on TV, etc. If the event is paid, you can purchase admission tickets and goods, and if it is a public gambling event, you can purchase voting tickets.

There is basically no reward for support other than public gambling.

In addition, in many cases of public gambling, the main purpose is often to get a reward, so it is questionable to consider it purely as support. Also, due to its gambling nature, there are social problems such as age restrictions and loans due to excessive purchases.

There were also problems with people getting so absorbed in smartphone games that they made excessive purchases and were forced to watch commercials of dubious authenticity for affiliate purposes.

In addition to public voting, there was also the issue of purchasing lottery tickets using winning prizes, which fuels the gambling spirit.

The problem we are trying to solve is the burden that comes with providing support, especially financial ones.

The main feature of the present invention is to realize rewarding support by accumulating support results by voting for free support without relying on gambling or lottery.

The present invention is capable of giving a specified number of cheers for each competition, and, for example, using the accumulated prize money of the competition as points, and distributing the prizes prepared according to the accumulated points for a specific period. The prizes referred to here are basically items provided by the organizers or sponsors of the competition.

The present invention basically supports a high-ranking competition target in a specified competition free of charge using a specified number of votes. For example, in the case of JRA, points calculated based on the winning prize amount are given as a result. Using the total number of points for a specific period, for example, one month, the rank of supporters is determined based on the number of points as a result of support.

In the case of the JRA, the prize money for winning in important competitions is large, and the points calculated from this are also large numbers, allowing supporters who join in the middle of the competition to enjoy cheering.

Depending on the ranking, prizes from sponsors, etc. presented in advance at the start of target support will be provided.

In the support voting of the present invention, the number of votes is limited, and since it is basically free of charge, it does not involve money and there is little gambling, and unlike obtaining prizes by lottery, the results are supported by supporters' predictions etc. The point is that the person can choose.

It is also expected that the name recognition of the sponsors who provide the prizes will improve.

The burden on supporters is small, they can receive prizes based on their own support results, and they can expect further support for their supporters.

FIG. 1 shows an example of an apparatus configuration for implementing the present invention.

Supporters can learn about the competition in advance by using an app installed on their mobile communication device, a so-called smartphone. If you would like to participate in the support, please vote for support using the app.

You can participate in cheering by confirming your support target up to one minute before the target competition, for example, one minute before.

After the competition, you can check the results of the discussion on the app, and if necessary, you can check the provisional ranking based on the points you have.

At the end of the predetermined competition period, the cheering ranking will be determined based on the cumulative points of the cheering participants, and prizes will be received from the top.

Using the JRA Central Horse Racing as an example, it is basically held on Saturdays and Sundays, and the organizer of the present invention presets six races for each day of the week and announces them through an app.

Cheerers use the app to learn about the prize money and the details of each contestant, and then select and cheer for a target at the specified time, for example, one minute before the start of the competition.

The selection method uses the athlete's identification number or identification color.

Competition results can be officially known from the competition organizer, that is, the JRA.

If necessary, the current provisional support order can be known using specific conditions, for example, the points held.

By knowing the provisional ranking, you can review your support targets and expect to improve your cumulative points.

In an automobile competition, for example, an F1 race, the cumulative points are set using the winning prize money of each competition.

As in the first embodiment, the support points based on the results of each competition are accumulated, and prizes are allocated using the total support points for the year.

By establishing a model in which support is basically provided free of charge using mobile wireless terminals, so-called smartphone apps, it can be expected, for example, to increase name recognition for regional revitalization. It is possible to hold competitions for a specified period under names such as the ○○ prefecture commemorative race, and at the same time provide information on the special products and sightseeing spots of the target prefecture. *○○ should contain a specific prefecture name, such as "Okayama".

Similarly, using the company name instead of the prefecture name mentioned above can be expected to contribute to making the company well known.

It is expected that less well-known sports, so-called minor sports, will become more well-known by using the present invention.
