[0040]
Next, according to these processing flows, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0041]
When the voting information transmitting unit 32 developed in the ticket issuing machine 30 is activated by receiving the information of the voting ticket released from the mark sheet reading unit 31, as shown in the processing flow of FIGS. In step 1, when it is determined whether the vote read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is a win-win vote, and when it is determined that the vote is a win-win vote, the process proceeds to step 2, and “/” is finalized. A data recording area having one entry as a column is generated.
[0042]
Subsequently, in step 3, the vote number according to the format shown in FIG. 2 (a) is recorded by recording the horse number to be voted passed from the mark sheet reading unit 31 in the entry of the generated data recording area. Information is created, and in the subsequent step 4, the created single-vote voting information is transmitted to the center system 40, and the process is terminated.
[0043]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 1 that the vote read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is not a win-win vote, the process proceeds to step 5 to determine whether the vote is a win-win vote. When it is determined that there is, the process proceeds to step 6 to generate a data recording area having three entries with “*” as the final stage.
[0044]
Subsequently, in step 7, for example, the horse number to be voted passed from the mark sheet reading unit 31 is recorded in, for example, the top entry (not limited to the top) of the generated data recording area. In step 8, the voting information of the winning line is generated according to the format as shown in d), and the generated voting information of the winning line is transmitted to the center system 40, and the process ends.
[0045]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 5 that the voting read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is not a double winning voting, the process proceeds to step 9 to determine whether the voting is a horse race or not. When this is determined, the process proceeds to step 10 to generate a data recording area having two entries with “*” as the final stage.
[0046]
Subsequently, in step 11, the two horse numbers to be voted passed from the mark sheet reading unit 31 are recorded in the entry of the generated data recording area, so that the horse sequence conforming to the format shown in FIG. In step 12, the created voting information of the horse run is transmitted to the center system 40, and the process ends.
[0047]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 9 that the voting read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is not a horse-run voting, the process proceeds to step 13 to determine whether it is a frame-voting voting. When it is determined that there is, the process proceeds to step 14 where a data recording area having two entries with “*” as the last stage is generated, and a frame-connected identification symbol is added to the head thereof. That is, both the frame series and the horse series are data recording areas having two entries with “*” as the final stage, and therefore, a frame series identification symbol is added to indicate the difference.
[0048]
Subsequently, in step 15, by recording the two frame numbers to be voted passed from the mark sheet reading unit 31 in the entry of the generated data recording area, the frame-linked voting information in accordance with the prescribed format is created, In the subsequent step 16, the created frame-linked voting information is transmitted to the center system 40, and the process is terminated.
[0049]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 13 that the voting read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is not a voting for a frame series, the process proceeds to step 17 to determine whether the voting for a wide horse series is performed. If it is determined, the process proceeds to step 18 to generate a data recording area having three entries with “*” as the final stage.
[0050]
Subsequently, in step 19, the two horse numbers to be voted passed from the mark sheet reading unit 31 are recorded in the two entries from the top of the generated data recording area (not limited to two from the top). In this way, the voting information of the wide horse run according to the format shown in FIG. 2 (f) is created, and in the subsequent step 20, the created wide horse run voting information is transmitted to the center system 40, and the process is terminated. .
[0051]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 17 that the vote read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is not a wide horse run vote, that is, when it is determined that the vote read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is a single vote, Proceeding to 21, a data recording area having two entries with “/” as the final stage is generated.
[0052]
Subsequently, in step 22, the horse number of the first vote voter passed from the mark sheet reading unit 31 is recorded in the top entry of the generated data recording area, and the mark sheet reading unit 31 passes it to the second entry. By recording the number of horses to be voted for in the second place, voting information for a single horse according to the format as shown in FIG. 2 (g) is created. It transmits to the system 40 and complete | finishes a process.
[0053]
In this way, when the vote read by the mark sheet reading unit 31 is a win-win vote, the vote information transmitting unit 32 developed in the ticketing machine 30 wins a win according to the format shown in FIG. Voting information is generated and transmitted to the center system 40. If the voting is a double winning, the winning voting information according to the format shown in FIG. 2D is generated and transmitted to the center system 40. If the ballot is a ballot, the ballot information of the ballet according to the format shown in FIG. 2E is created and transmitted to the center system 40. In the case of a wide horse voting, the voting information of the frame continuation is created and transmitted to the center system 40 in accordance with the format shown in FIG. (F 2 is generated and transmitted to the center system 40. When the vote is a single vote, the single vote information according to the format shown in FIG. Is processed and transmitted to the center system 40.

Then, in the subsequent step 6, the file registration unit 43 is instructed to register the specified double vote information in the double total file 41-2, and the process ends.
[0058]
On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of horse numbers recorded in the data recording area of the received voting information is not one according to the determination process of step 3, that is, the horses recorded in the data recording area of the received voting information When it is determined that the number is two, the process proceeds to step 7 to determine that it is a wide horse voting having a format as shown in FIG. 2 (f). Identify the horse number. Then, in the following step 9, the file registration unit 43 is instructed to register the specified wide horse run voting information in the wide tabulation file 41-5, and the process is terminated.
[0059]
On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of entries in the data recording area of the received voting information is not three according to the determination process of step 2, that is, when it is determined that the number of entries is two, Proceeding to 10, it is determined whether or not a frame identification symbol is added to the data recording area of the received voting information.
[0060]
When it is determined in accordance with the determination process in step 10 that a frame-related identification symbol is added to the data recording area of the received voting information, the process proceeds to step 11 and the format as shown in FIG. The frame voting is determined to have a format to which a frame series identification symbol is added, and the two frame numbers are specified in the following step 12. Then, in the following step 13, the file registration unit 43 is instructed to register the specified voting information of the frame series in the frame series total file 41-4, and the process is terminated.
[0061]
On the other hand, when it is determined according to the determination process in step 10 that no frame-related identification symbol is added to the data recording area of the received voting information, the process proceeds to step 14 and the format as shown in FIG. In step 15 that follows, the two horse numbers are specified. Then, in the following step 16, the file registration unit 43 is instructed to register the specified wide horse run voting information in the horse run total file 41-3, and the processing is ended.
[0062]
On the other hand, when it is determined that the symbol “*” is not added to the received voting information according to the determination process of step 1, that is, when it is determined that the symbol “/” is added, step 17 is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the number of horse numbers recorded in the data recording area of the received voting information is one.
[0063]
When it is determined that the number of horse numbers recorded in the data recording area of the received voting information is one according to the determination processing in step 17, the process proceeds to step 18 and as shown in FIG. It is determined that the vote has a format, and the horse number is specified in the subsequent step 19. Then, in the following step 20, the file registration unit 43 is instructed to register the specified winning vote information in the winning total file 41-1, and the process ends.
[0064]
On the other hand, according to the determination process of step 17, when it is determined that the number of horse numbers recorded in the data recording area of the received voting information is not one, that is, it is determined that the number of horse numbers is two. In some cases, the process proceeds to step 21, where it is determined that the vote is for a single horse having the format shown in FIG. 2G, and in step 22, the two horse numbers are specified. Then, in the following step 23, the file registration unit 43 is instructed to register the specified voting information of the singular in the monogram totaling file 41-6, and the process is terminated.
[0065]
Here, when the symbol “/” is added to the received voting information, it is determined whether the number of horse numbers recorded in the data recording area is one or two. It is configured to determine whether the vote is a single vote or a single vote, but as shown in FIG. 3A, by using this “/”, for example, a horse that falls into the fourth place is applied. It is also possible to introduce a new betting system. In such a case, this determination is made by specifying the horse number recording position (the number of horse numbers will be specified after all). .
[0066]
In this way, when the voting information recognition unit 42 deployed in the center system 40 receives the voting information from the ticketing machine 30, the voting information recognition unit 42 recognizes the betting type and responds to the voting information via the file registration unit 43. It is processed to be registered in the summary file.
[0067]
Although not shown in FIG. 4, a refund terminal is installed in the racetrack in addition to the ticket issuing machine 30. When the hitting betting ticket is inserted, the withdrawal terminal reads the voting information, executes a format conversion process similar to that performed by the ticket issuing machine 30, and transmits it to the center system 40.
[0068]
At this time, the voting information recognition unit 42 deployed in the center system 40 activates a withdrawal processing unit 44 instead of the file registration unit 43, and in response to this, the withdrawal processing unit 44 receives the voting information with a withdrawal request. The legitimacy of the refund request is checked against the race result, and if it is valid, the odds information is acquired and returned to the refund terminal.
