Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a Web browser operated by a member-based subscriber who can deposit a voting fund in advance in a lock account, which is a designated account of a financial institution that has a contract in which a deposit cannot be withdrawn / transferred on the day of a horse race, and can win a horse. In a system for voting for winning horses via the corresponding Internet from each member terminal of a personal computer or mobile phone of each Internet compatible company, it has a debit card or credit card settlement function even on the day of the race, It is related with the voting system via a telephone line provided with the function which can be settled by the card | curd on the day of a horse race even if the lock account balance of is insufficient for voting purchase.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A standard voting system via a conventional communication line using a telephone line will be described with reference to FIG. The middle part of FIG. 7 shows a member-based voting system 100 that allows a voting fund to be deposited in advance in a lock account that prevents withdrawal and transfer of deposits on the day of the race, as described above, and can be used for winning voting via the Internet 21 and 22. Is shown as an example.
[0003]
This voting system 100 via a telephone line includes two subsystems 101 and 102. A personal computer response subsystem 101 responds to access signals from the personal computers 31 and 31 with web browsers via the Internet 21 and includes a firewall 101a, a Web server 101b, and a vote / information inquiry response computer 101c. 102 is a mobile phone response subsystem of each company that responds to an access signal from the member's Internet compatible mobile phone 32, 32 via the respective company's Internet compatible mobile phone network 22, and includes a firewall 102a, a Web server 102b, a voting / information inquiry response computer. It consists of a system 102c. Furthermore, a comprehensive operation monitoring device 105 that combines them is provided.
[0004]
As shown in FIG. 7, these response subsystems 101 and 102 are a calculation center that collects voting data (including voting data via a telephone line) from all the inside and outside of the racetrack transmitting terminal group 60 and its holding guidance / running Table / Odds information is stored in the integrated center 40, and the backup center 50 is connected to the backup center 50 through a dedicated line, voting data application processing or various information inquiry processing is performed, and the result is returned to each member terminal. Yes.
[0005]
The voting system 100 composed of these subsystems constitutes a two-system or redundant system so that the system does not go down in response to various failures, and the Internet connection unit is provided with a plurality of stages of firewalls. Voting acceptance processing was performed to ensure that high reliability during operation on the day of the event was maintained.
[0006]
However, such a voting system 100 has the following problems. In other words, deposits cannot be withdrawn or transferred on the day of the event, so the voting funds must be transferred in advance by the day before the date of the event. For this reason, even if it was a member, there were many problems that the desired voting vote could not be made via the telephone line if the lock account balance on the day of the event was small.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points. The purpose of the present invention is as a service function for a voting member via a telephone line. When applying for a vote request, even if there is no balance in the lock account on the date of the event, funds are added to the lock account using a debit card or credit card cashless card, and the member terminal via the Internet An object is to provide a system including means for enabling voting.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the voting system via a telephone line with a cashless card settlement function according to the present invention votes for a lock account which is a designated account of a financial institution for which a deposit cannot be withdrawn or transferred on the day of the race.
