Description

  The present invention relates to refunds of publicly-sponsored voting tickets. In particular, voting tickets issued from any ticketing machine by collectively managing voting ticket information can be refunded at the same security level as machine payments at any refund window. It relates to the technology to be made possible.

  FIG. 7 illustrates a flow of a general voting ticket issuance / refund process in a conventional public competition. Voting tickets for public competitions have different printing designs and methods for uniquely identifying the ticket face depending on the manufacturer that manufactures the ticket issuing machine that issues the voting tickets. And no data linkage is performed between the totaling devices B30. For this reason, the voting ticket A7 purchased with the ticketing machine A22 in the A place 2 can be paid only with the refunding machine A23 at the specific place, and other than the specific place such as the refunding machine B33. Since the machine cannot be paid, the clerk's ticket was refunded visually.

  The specific location is that the ticketing machine manufacturer and the refund machine manufacturer are the same manufacturer, and that the refund machine is connected to a device (hereinafter referred to as a counting device) that holds information for uniquely specifying the ticket surface. Therefore, the location is particularly limited in the case of local public competitions. Moreover, since the refund by visually checking the attendant's ticket is a work based on the judgment of the person, the security level of the voting ticket is inevitably lowered, and there are not a few business accidents such as incorrect payment or refund by forged ticket. In addition, the customer service time at the counter is longer than with machine payment, which is less convenient for the user.

  For voting tickets purchased from ticketing machines as mentioned above, in the event that machine payments can only be made with a refund machine at a specific location, for example, refunds for various voting tickets issued in public competitions can be made at other stadiums. In order to be able to receive, “a plurality of ticket issuing machines for issuing different types of voting tickets to each voter, and a plurality of voting tickets according to the type of the voting ticket, provided on the voting ticket” A specific information recording machine that reads the ticket surface information and records the voting ticket specifying information for specifying the voting ticket in the voting ticket common recording medium held by the voter, and a hit vote corresponding to the voting tickets of a plurality of the types A mutual refund center that centrally manages ticket information, and the voting ticket identification information is read from the voting ticket common recording medium, and the voting ticket corresponds to the voting ticket of any type and is refunded The payer transmits the voting ticket identification information read from the voting ticket common recording medium to the mutual refund center, and the mutual refund center A voting ticket refund system is disclosed that makes a proper determination based on the voting ticket identification information transmitted from the “instructing the refund to the refund machine” (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, in order to support reimbursement of clerk tickets by visual inspection, it can be implemented easily and inexpensively, can easily deal with changes in the layout of voting tickets, and can easily manage sample tickets at a number of mutual reimbursement sites. For the purpose of providing a distribution display system for a sample ticket for reciprocal reconciliation in public competitions that is convenient, `` verification used when reciprocating voting tickets in public competitions between multiple racetracks that are not compatible in reading processing. A sample ticket distribution and display system, in which a sample ticket terminal is installed in each of the plurality of racetracks, and the sample ticket terminals are connected to a sample ticket server via a network so as to communicate with each other. Create a sample ticket image of a voting ticket to be issued on the spot using the ticket terminal, register it in the sample ticket server, and request the sample ticket server from any sample ticket terminal Disclosed is a technique for requesting a sample ticket image of a voting ticket, searching for the corresponding sample ticket image in the above-mentioned sample ticket server, and distributing and displaying the searched sample ticket image to the requesting sample ticket terminal. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).

  However, with the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, the user can pay back at the stadium different from the stadium where the voting ticket was purchased. In that case, the user purchased the voting ticket purchased at the ticketing machine. Must be read by the voting ticket common medium recording device, and an additional operation for recording the voting ticket specific information converted into the voting ticket identification information on the user's IC card is required, and the user must have a recording medium such as an IC card. In addition, the stadium management and operation side will need to introduce a voting ticket common medium recording device in addition to the conventional totalizer and issue a recording medium such as an IC card to the user, increasing the burden on costs. It will be.

  Further, the technology described in Patent Document 2 is a system that provides a sample ticket for collation of voting tickets used at each racetrack to support a staff at a refund window in a public competition. For this reason, it has not been a system that can prevent a business accident such as an error payment or a refund due to a counterfeit ticket by a staff at the refund window.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to allow a voting ticket purchased from an arbitrary ticketing machine to be refunded at an arbitrary refund window at a high security level similar to that of machine payment. .

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the embodiment of the present invention. In the case of a public competition, the format of the voting ticket face, the voting information for the counting device, the refund information, the ticket face information for the ticket issuing machine, and the hit information for the refund machine are different for each ticket machine manufacturer. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, it is necessary to install the counting device for each place, there is no cooperation or compatibility of voting ticket data between public stadiums, and voting tickets issued from arbitrary ticketing machines, Refunds could not be made at the same security level as machine payments at any refund window.

  In the present invention, ballot ticket information in all public stadiums is collectively managed by a totaling device that integrates voting ticket information, and the above problems are solved. First, it is assumed that the user has purchased the voting ticket A7 from the ticketing machine A22 in the A place 2. Although not shown, when a user makes a voting request to the ticketing machine A22 with a voting card, the ticketing machine A22 generates voting information specific to the ticketing machine manufacturer A and transmits it to the relay machine A21. The relay machine A21 converts the voting information unique to the ticket machine manufacturer A into standard voting information, and transmits it to the counting device 1 via the communication network 4. The counting device 1 generates standard ticket surface information and transmits it to the relay machine A21 via the communication network 4. The relay machine A21 specifies the ticketing machine maker from the standard ticket surface information, converts the ticketing machine manufacturer to ticketing machine-specific ticketing surface information, and transmits it to the ticketing machine A22. The ticket issuing machine A22 issues a voting ticket A7 based on the received ticket surface information.

  Next, it is assumed that the user pays out the voting ticket A7 by the payout machine A23 in the A place 2. When the withdrawal machine A23 reads the voting ticket A7, the withdrawal information unique to the ticket issuing machine manufacturer A is generated and transmitted to the relay machine A21. The relay machine A21 converts the withdrawal information unique to the ticket issuing machine manufacturer A into standard withdrawal information and transmits it to the counting device 1 via the communication network 4. The counting device 1 generates standard hit information based on the received standard payout information, and transmits it to the relay A 21 via the communication network 4. The relay machine A21 specifies the ticket issuing machine maker from the standard hit information, converts it into hit information unique to the ticket issuing machine maker, and transmits it to the withdrawal machine A23. Refund machine A23 performs a refund based on the received hit information.

  Next, it is assumed that the user pays out the voting ticket A7 at the B place 3. Since only the refund machine B33 of the ticket machine manufacturer B is installed in the B place 3, the reader A331 and the reader C333 that can read the voting tickets issued from the ticket machine of the ticket machine manufacturer A or C are the employees. It is installed at the refund window. Since the voting ticket A7 is a voting ticket created in the format of the ticketing machine maker A, when the user reads it with the reader A331, the reader A331 generates refund information unique to the ticketing machine maker A and transmits it to the relay machine B31. The relay machine B31 converts the refund information unique to the ticket issuing machine manufacturer A into standard refund information and transmits it to the counting device 1 via the communication network 4. The counting device 1 generates standard hit information based on the received standard payout information, and transmits it to the relay station B31 via the communication network 4. The relay machine B31 identifies the ticketing machine maker from the standard hit information, determines that the refunding machine A corresponding to the ticketing machine maker is not connected, and a display device installed at the refund window where the employee is located Displays hit information.

  As described above, voting tickets issued from an arbitrary ticketing machine can be refunded at a high security level similar to machine payments at an arbitrary refund window by collectively managing the voting ticket information.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the voting ticket DB and the voting / ticket surface / refund / hit information along the processing flow shown in FIG. 51 is an example of the data format of the voting ticket DB. The venue, year, round, daily, year, month, date, release place, manufacturer code, race number, betting ceremony, group number, number of votes, Refund status and forgery prevention information are stored.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of a refund process in the A place according to the present invention. When the user inserts the voting ticket A into the withdrawal machine A23, the withdrawal machine A23 reads the voting ticket A (S501), generates ticketing machine manufacturer A-specific withdrawal information based on the voting ticket A (S502), and sends it to the relay machine A21. Transmit (S503). When the relay machine A21 receives the ticket machine manufacturer A specific refund information (S504), the ticket machine manufacturer A specific refund information is converted into standard refund information including the identification information of the ticket machine manufacturer (S505), and is transmitted via the communication network 4. The data is transmitted to the counting device 1 (S506).

  When the summary device 1 receives the standard payout information (S507), it determines whether or not it is correct (it is a conventional process and is not a characteristic part of the present invention, so details are omitted) (S508), If the target is not hit, standard hit information indicating that it is hit is created (S515), and the process proceeds to S516. In the present embodiment, when 0 is stored in the target amount of the standard payout information, it is assumed that it is ineffective.

  If it is correct, the betting ticket DB is searched (S509), and it is determined whether or not the requested betting ticket information exists (S510). If it does not exist, the process proceeds to S515. If it exists, it is determined whether or not it has been paid back (S511). If it has been refunded, the process proceeds to S515. If it has not been refunded, the voting ticket DB is updated to indicate that it has been refunded (S512). Subsequently, a refund amount is calculated (this is a conventional process and is not a characteristic part of the present invention, so that details are omitted) (S513). After generating standard medium information, the standard medium information is transferred to the repeater. It transmits to A21 (S516).

  When the relay machine A21 receives the standard medium information (S517), the relay machine A21 determines whether or not the voting ticket requested for refund has been issued at the A place 2 with reference to the release place in the standard medium information ( S518). If it is determined that the ticket is issued at a place other than A place 2, the hit information is displayed on the display device installed at the refund window where the employee is present. If it is determined that the ticket is issued at A place 2, it is converted into the hit information unique to the ticket maker A (S519), and the hit information unique to the ticket maker A is transmitted to the refund machine A23 (S520). .

  When the payer A23 receives the hit information unique to the ticket machine manufacturer A (S521), the payer A23 determines whether or not it is hit (S522), and if it is hit, refunds the hit amount (S523).

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of a refund process in the B place according to the present invention. It is an example in the case of paying back the voting ticket A issued by the user at the A place 2 at the B place. In this flowchart, manual processing is also included so that the entire flow of the processing can be easily understood. When the user brings the voting ticket A to the refund window where the employee is present (S601), the employee receives the voting ticket A (S602) and inserts the voting ticket A into the readable reader A331 (S603). The reader A331 generates refund information unique to the ticket machine manufacturer A and transmits it to the relay machine B31.

  When the relay machine B31 receives the refund information unique to the ticket machine manufacturer A (S604), the relay machine B31 converts it into standard refund information (S605), and transmits the standard refund information to the counting device 1 (S606). When the counting device 1 receives the standard payout information, the same processing as S507 to S516 described in FIG. 5 is performed (S607).

  When the relay machine B31 receives the standard medium information from the counting device 1 (S608), it is referred to the release place in the standard medium information and whether or not the voting ticket for which a refund request has been issued is issued at the B place 3 (S609), if the ticket is issued at the B place, it is a refund request from the refunding machine B32, so it is converted into hit information unique to the ticketing machine manufacturer B and transmitted to the refunding machine B32. However, in the case of the present embodiment, since it is a refund request for the voting ticket A issued at the A place 2, the hit information is displayed on the display device 24 installed at the refund window where the employee is present (S610).

  The employee of the refund window refers to the hit information displayed on the display device (S611), determines whether or not it is hit (S612), and if hit, refers to the hit amount (S613). ), The target amount is transferred to the user (S614). Accordingly, the user can receive a refund even if the voting ticket issued at another public stadium is brought to the refund window (S614). Employees at the refund window can also deliver the right amount at the same high security level as machine payments.
