Description

  The present invention relates to a voting prediction disclosure system and method and a computer program for publishing voting predictions for public competitions and the like.

  Conventionally, when purchasing voting tickets for public competitions such as horse racing, boat racing, bicycle racing, auto racing, etc., buyers refer to predictions published in newspapers, magazines, etc., and predictions of acquaintances and specific people Often the contents of the vote are determined. Such predictions are also publicized on the Internet, and voting tickets are also purchased on the Internet.

  On the other hand, in recent years, membership-based community sites using the Internet have become widespread. In such a community site, an image of a character called an avatar representing a person's alternation is used. An image of a character such as a human being or an animal is often used as an avatar, and an image of an item such as an accessory, an accessory, or a background can be added to the avatar and displayed. The avatar not only brings a sense that the user's alternation exists on the network, but can also intuitively sense the user's sense from the character selected as the avatar or the item of the character. Patent Document 1 describes that a user presents an item to another user's avatar, and Patent Document 2 describes that a displayed avatar changes over time. ing.

[4. Voting prediction disclosure system processing procedure]
Next, processing of the vote prediction disclosure system according to the present embodiment will be described.

[4.1 Vote based on user's expectation]
Here, a description will be given of a process in a case where an anticipation person who is a member of the community site determines a voting target based on his / her prediction and purchases a voting ticket. The same applies to the case where the viewer decides a voting target based on his / her prediction and purchases a voting ticket. In this case, the terminal device 100a may be read as the terminal device 100b.

[4.1.1 Vote from terminal device]
FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram in the case where an anticipator accesses the voting device 200 from his / her terminal device 100a and purchases a voting ticket based on his / her prediction. The upper limit amount for one day is registered in the member data in advance, but on the same day, the amount repaid by the hit voting ticket can be used for the purchase of the next voting ticket.

  The user inputs an access instruction to the URL of the top page of the public competition community site through the input unit 120 of the terminal device 100a. Upon receiving the access request to the top page from the terminal device 100a, the vote prediction disclosure device 500 or the web server (not shown) returns the image data of the top page. Subsequently, the user inputs his / her member number with the input unit 120 in the member number input field on the top page displayed on the display unit 130 and also inputs an instruction to access the betting ticket purchase site (step S11). ). Thereby, the voting request | requirement part 141 of the terminal device 100a notifies a member number to the voting apparatus 200 specified by URL of a betting ticket purchase site (step S12). The voting accepting unit 231 of the voting device 200 returns the field for inputting the voting contents and the screen data of the voting screen for displaying the purchase button to the terminal device 100a (step S13).

  The voting request unit 141 of the terminal device 100a causes the display unit 130 to display the screen data received from the voting device 200. The user uses the input unit 120 of the terminal device 100a to input voting content on the voting screen and presses a purchase button (step S14). The voting request unit 141 of the terminal device 100a transmits a voting ticket purchase request in which voting contents are set to the voting device 200 (step S15).

  When the voting acceptance unit 231 of the voting device 200 receives a voting ticket purchase request from the terminal device 100a (step S15), the credit processing unit 232 sets the member number received in step S12 and today's date in the storage unit 220. It is determined whether or not the purchase data is stored (step S16). When purchase data is not stored (step S16: NO), the credit processing unit 232 reads the member's name, bank account, and upper limit from the member data record in which the member number is set (step S17). The balance inquiry in which the name and the bank account are set is transmitted to the bank financial apparatus 300 indicated by the bank account (step S18).

  When receiving the balance inquiry from the voting device 200, the notifying unit 320 of the financial device 300 refers to the storage unit 340 that stores the balance of each account, and the balance of the account corresponding to the received account information and name is 0. Judge whether there is. The notification unit 320 returns a balance inquiry result indicating that there is no balance or there is a balance to the voting apparatus 200 according to the determination result (step S19).

  The credit processing unit 232 of the voting device 200 makes an inquiry similar to the above for the account if the received balance inquiry result indicates that there is no balance and there is a user account that has not yet been inquired about the balance. . When the balance inquiry result indicating no balance is received for all accounts (step S20: NO), the voting accepting unit 231 of the voting device 200 notifies the terminal device 100a that purchase is not possible (step S21).

  When the credit processing unit 232 of the voting apparatus 200 receives the balance inquiry result indicating that there is a balance (step S20: YES), the membership number, the upper limit amount, the available amount in which the upper limit amount is set, and today's date are displayed. The set purchase data is written in the storage unit 220. Note that the balance information may be received from the financial apparatus 300, and the smaller of the received balance and the upper limit amount read from the member data may be set as the upper limit amount and the available amount of purchase data.

  When a balance inquiry result indicating that there is a balance is received at step S20 (step S20: YES), or when purchase data is stored at step S16 (step S16: YES), the voting accepting unit 231 of the voting device 200 is stored. Determines whether the total of the voting amounts set in the voting content received from the terminal device 100a is within the available amount set in the purchase data (step S22). If the voting amount exceeds the available amount (step S22: NO), the terminal device 100a is notified that the purchase is not possible (step S21).

  On the other hand, when the voting amount is within the usable amount (step S22: YES), the sale is permitted and the purchase is accepted, and the received voting ticket purchase request and member number are notified to the host device 400 (step S23). Upon receipt of the voting ticket purchase request, the ticket issuing confirmation unit 431 of the host device 400 confirms whether the deadline for voting ticket sales for the race set in the voting content has passed, or the race has not been canceled, Judgment is made based on whether the voted horse number has been canceled or not. When it is determined that the ticket can be sold, the ticket issuing confirmation unit 431 assigns a vote number, and stores the vote data generated by associating the assigned vote number, the received member number and the vote contents, and the vote date and time. In addition to writing to 420 (step S24), the ticketing response in which the vote number is set is returned to the voting apparatus 200 (step S25).

  Upon receiving the ticketing response, the voting accepting unit 231 of the voting device 200 rewrites the purchase amount of the purchase data to an amount obtained by adding the total of the voting amounts indicated by the voting contents received from the terminal device 100a, and the purchase data The available amount is rewritten to an amount obtained by subtracting the total vote amount. Further, the voting reception unit 231 generates voting data in which information on the member number, voting number, voting content, and voting date and time is set and writes the voting data in the storage unit 220 (step S26). The vote accepting unit 231 notifies the terminal device 100a of the fact that the vote with the received vote content has been accepted and the vote number are displayed (step S27). Subsequently, the notification unit 233 of the voting device 200 notifies the generated voting data to the voting prediction disclosure device 500 (step S28). The purchase information receiving unit 531 of the vote prediction disclosure device 500 writes the prediction data including the received voting data and the predictor type indicating that the prediction is the user's own prediction to the storage unit 520 (step S29).

[4.1.2 Voting from off-site polling station terminals]
FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram when a user who is a member of the community site purchases a betting ticket by using the off-site polling station terminal 700.
The user inputs his / her membership number and voting content through the input unit 720 of the off-site polling station terminal 700, and inserts money for the voting amount (step S31). The off-site polling station terminal 700 may, for example, read a two-dimensional barcode of the member number displayed on the user's mobile phone or receive it by infrared communication or the like. The contents of the vote may be read by a mark sheet. The control unit 740 of the off-site polling station terminal 700 transmits the voting ticket purchase request and the member number in which the voting content is set to the voting apparatus 200 (step S32).

  The voting accepting unit 231 of the voting device 200 performs the same processing as steps S23 to S25 in FIG. That is, the voting acceptance unit 231 of the voting device 200 notifies the host device 400 of the received voting ticket purchase request and the membership number (step S33), and the ticket issuing confirmation unit 431 of the host device 400 is set to the received voting content. Determine if the voting ticket for the race you are selling is available. When it is determined that the sale is possible, the ticket issuing confirmation unit 431 of the host device 400 assigns a vote number, and creates a vote by associating the assigned vote number, the received member number and the contents of the vote, and the vote date and time. The data is written in the storage unit 420 (step S34), and the ticketing response in which the vote number is set is returned to the voting device 200 (step S35).

  The voting accepting unit 231 of the voting device 200 generates voting data in which the member number, voting number, voting content, and voting date / time information are set and writes the voting data in the storage unit 220 (step S36). Is notified to the off-site polling station terminal 700 (step S37). The off-site polling station terminal 700 issues a voting ticket of the input voting content (step S38). Further, the notification unit 233 of the voting device 200 notifies the generated voting data to the predicted voting disclosure device 500 (step S39). The purchase information receiving unit 531 of the vote prediction disclosure device 500 writes the received voting data and the prediction data in which the predictor type indicating the voter's own prediction is set in the storage unit 520 (step S40).

As described above, even when a voting ticket is purchased by the off-site polling station terminal 700, the prediction can be disclosed on the community site.
The off-site polling station terminal 700 may directly transmit the membership number and a voting ticket purchase request in which voting details are set to the host device 400. In this case, since the voting prediction disclosure device 500 cannot receive the voting data, the voting prediction disclosure device 500 cannot display the prediction, but the purchase record is reflected in the results DB 600.

  Note that the host device 400 also receives all the contents of voting by a method other than the above, such as telephone voting, and stores it in the storage unit 420. The host device 400 calculates odds (refund rate) based on the contents of all votes.

[4.2 Refund processing]
When the payout information is input to the host device 400 after the end of each race, the payout notification unit 432 stores the input payout information in the storage unit 420 and notifies the voting device 200. Alternatively, by inputting the date of the event, the venue, the race number, and the horse number of the arrival order to the host device 400, the voting object to be paid back is specified in the payout notification unit 432, and the voting data in the storage unit 420 is further determined. , The payout rate for the specified voting target may be calculated to generate payout information and notified to the voting apparatus 200.

  The voting result determination unit 234 of the voting device 200 collates the voting target in the received payout information with the voting target in the voting data stored in the storage unit 220, and specifies the voting data to be paid out. . The voting result determination unit 234 calculates, for each of the specified voting data, a repayment amount obtained by multiplying the voting amount corresponding to the voting target in the voting data by the repayment rate corresponding to the voting target in the payout information. The voting result determination unit 234 specifies, for each of the specified voting data, purchase data in which the same membership number as that of the voting data is set, and determines a refund amount and an available amount of the specified purchase data based on the voting data. Is rewritten to the sum obtained by adding the refund amount calculated.

  The above processing is performed every time the race is finished until the race for one day is finished. In addition, voting tickets are also purchased from time to time until the end of the race.

Then, after the race for one day is completed, the voting apparatus 200 performs a voting ticket purchase amount withdrawal process and a refund process for the member who purchased the hit voting ticket. When the holding period ends, the transaction instruction unit 235 of the voting device 200 reads out the purchase data in which the date of today is set from the storage unit 220, and performs the following processing for each purchase data.
When the transaction instruction unit 235 reads the member number from the purchase data, the transaction instruction unit 235 identifies the record in which the read member number is set from the member data stored in the storage unit 220, and reads account information from the identified record. . The transaction instruction unit 235 compares the purchase amount set in the purchase data with the refund amount, and when the purchase amount is larger, the account information read from the member data is transferred to the transfer source, and the voting business consignor is transferred to the transfer destination. As for the account information, a transfer instruction in which the amount obtained by subtracting the refund amount from the purchase amount is set to the transfer amount is generated and transmitted to the financial apparatus 300. On the other hand, if the refund amount is larger than the purchase amount, the account information of the voting business consignor is transferred to the transfer source, the account information read from the member data is transferred to the transfer destination, and the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the refund amount The set transfer instruction is generated and transmitted to the financial apparatus 300. The transaction processing unit 330 of the financial apparatus 300 executes the transfer process according to the transfer instruction received from the voting apparatus 200, and updates the transaction and balance information for the transfer source and transfer destination accounts stored in the storage unit 340. .

[4.3 Data update processing]
[4.3.1 History and ranking update]
FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram of history and ranking update processing in the vote prediction disclosure device 500.
After the race of the day ends, the result output unit 433 of the host device 400 reads the voting data, the payout information, and the game related information in which the date of the day is set on the date of the event from the storage unit 420 by batch processing or the like. And write it in the results DB 600. The game-related information is input in advance by an input means (not shown) or is read and stored by a recording medium. Or you may receive from the computer terminal connected via a network. After completing the writing to the results DB 600, the predicted vote disclosure device 500 pays attention to all the member numbers in order (step S51), and performs the following processing.

  The history update unit 532 identifies the history data stored in the results DB 600 based on the member number currently being processed (hereinafter referred to as “attention member number”), and this identified history data (hereinafter “attention history data”). Voting data in which a date that is two or more years from the present day is set on the date of the event, and the predictor, refund amount, grade type, jockey and racehorse corresponding to the voting data. The name and weather information are deleted (step S52).

If the voting data read from the results DB 600 includes voting data that has been set after the date and time of the previous update and has a member number of interest set, the history updating unit 532 uses the voting data as attention history data. Additional writing is performed (step S53). Here, since the date of today (or the previous day) is set as the date of the event, it can be determined that the voting data has been written after the date and time since the last update. The history update unit 532, when the storage unit 520 has predicted data in which the attention member number and the additionally written voting data are set, the predicted set in association with the voting data in the predicted data The person type is written in association with the voting data in the attention history data (step S54).
When the history is updated only for the voting ticket purchased in the voting apparatus 200, the member number of interest and the date after the previous history data update is set instead of reading the voting data from the results DB 600. The processing of steps S53 and S54 may be performed by reading out the predicted data from the storage unit 520 and writing it in the attention history data.

  The history update unit 532 collates the voting object in the voting data written in the attention history data in step S53 with the voting object in the payout information, and specifies the voting data to be the payout object in the attention history data. For each identified voting data, the history update unit 532 calculates a payout amount by multiplying the voting amount corresponding to the voting target in the voting data by the repayment rate corresponding to the voting target in the payout information. A refund amount is written in the data in association with the voting data (step S55).

  Next, the history update unit 532 writes the related information as follows for each vote data written in the attention history data in step S53 (step S56). That is, the history update unit 532 acquires the date and the venue corresponding to the date, venue, and race number in the voting data written in the attention history data from the competition-related information, and uses the voting data in the attention history data as the voting data. Write in association. Further, the history update unit 532 determines whether the race date, the venue, the race number, the horse number, or the frame number corresponding to the race number, the jockey name, and the high dividend are included in the voting data written in the attention history data. Is obtained from the game-related information and written in association with the voting data in the attention history data. Whether or not the payout is a large payout may be determined by determining whether or not the payout rate in the payout information in which the same voting object as the voting data is set is higher than a predetermined value.

  Subsequently, the history update unit 532 updates the total purchase amount and the total refund amount of the attention history data with the total amount of the voting amount and the refund amount registered in the attention history data (step S57). Further, the history update unit 532 determines the attention history data according to the number of race identification information (or voting data) registered in the attention history data and the number of race identification information (or voting data) associated with the payout amount. The total number of races purchased and the total number of intermediate races are updated (step S58).

  When there is a member number that has not been noticed yet (step S59: NO), the history update unit 532 specifies the member number to be noticed next (step S51), and repeats the processing from step S52 to step S58.

When the above processing is performed for all the member numbers and the update of the history data is finished (step S59: YES), the history update unit 532 updates the ranking data (step S60). The history update unit 532 performs the following processing for each history data.
Specifically, the history update unit 532 reads the member number, the total purchase amount, the total refund amount, the total number of purchased races, and the total number of intermediate races for each of all history data. The history update unit 532 calculates the ratio of the target number of races to the total number of purchased races and the ratio of the refund amount to the total purchase amount, and matches the member number with the hit ratio ranking of the ranking data stored in the results DB 600. Write in the recovery ranking. When the processing is completed for all the history data, the hit rate ranking and the recovery rate ranking of the ranking data are sorted in descending order of the ratio.

Subsequently, when the history update unit 532 reads out the member number indicated by the predictor type associated with the voted voting data from the history data of all users, the history update unit 532 is registered as the predictor type for each member number. The number is counted as charismatic points. The history update unit 532 associates the member number with the charisma point of the member number in descending order of the charisma point, and writes it in the charisma point ranking of the ranking data stored in the results DB 600.
As described above, after the update process of the history data and the ranking data is completed, the assigning unit 533 performs the avatar or item assigning process (step S61).

[4.3.2 Avatar or item assignment]

  The assigning unit 533 determines whether or not the hit vote data is registered in the attention history data continuously for a predetermined number of times, such as three times (step S79). When registered (step S79: YES), the granting unit 533 writes consecutive winning item image data for displaying an image of an item indicating a winning streak such as a continuous medium number of stars in the attention display related data (step S80). ).

  The assigning unit 533 determines whether or not the total purchase amount of the attention history data indicates a predetermined amount or more such as 100,000 yen (step S81). When the total purchase amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined amount (step S81: YES), the granting unit 533 writes the high-price purchaser item image data for displaying the image of the item indicating the high-price purchase user in the attention display related data ( Step S82).

  The assigning unit 533 determines whether the number of other members selected as friends in the attention display related data is equal to or more than a predetermined number such as 100 (step S83). When the number of other members selected as friends is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (step S83: YES), the granting unit 533 displays friend item image data for displaying an item indicating that the user has many friends, such as a telephone. The attention display related data is written (step S84).

  The granting unit 533 refers to the charisma point ranking of the ranking data, and whether or not data indicating that the member number of interest is equal to or higher than a predetermined rank is registered, or the charisma point of the member number of attention is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of points. It is determined whether or not there is (step S85). When the charisma point ranking is equal to or higher than the predetermined rank, or when the charisma point is equal to or higher than the predetermined number of points (step S85: YES), the granting unit 533 displays a charisma item for displaying an image of the item indicating the charisma user. The image data is written in the attention display related data (step S86). Change the charisma item image data according to the rank or the number of charisma points. For example, the higher the rank or the higher the charisma point, the more the background item that more people are looking from behind. But you can.

  Subsequently, in FIG. 15, the granting unit 533 determines whether or not the total number of purchased races of the attention history data is equal to or greater than a predetermined number such as 10 (step S87). When the total number of races to be purchased is less than the predetermined number (step S87: NO), if there is a member number that has not been noticed yet (step S88: NO), return to FIG. 14 and pay attention to the next member number (step) S71) The process from step S72 is performed again, and if all the member numbers are noticed (step S88: YES), the process is terminated.

  When the total number of purchased races is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (step S87: YES), the granting unit 533 registers data indicating that the member number of interest is equal to or higher than the predetermined rank with reference to the hit rate ranking of the ranking data. It is determined whether or not the hit rate is greater than or equal to a predetermined rate (step S89). When the ranking of the hit rate is equal to or higher than the predetermined rank, or when the hit rate is equal to or higher than the predetermined rate (step S89: YES), the granting unit 533 has an item with an arrow hitting the center of the target, etc. High-intermediate rate item image data for displaying the image is written in the attention display related data (step S90). It is also possible to write high hit rate item image data of an item image that has a higher rank or a higher hit rate and hits more arrows.

  Subsequently, the granting unit 533 refers to the collection rate ranking of the ranking data, and whether or not data indicating that the member number of interest is equal to or higher than a predetermined rank is registered, or the recovery rate is equal to or higher than a predetermined ratio. Whether or not (step S91). When the recovery ranking is equal to or higher than the predetermined rank, or when the recovery rate is equal to or higher than the predetermined rate (step S91: YES), the assigning unit 533 writes the high recovery rate item image data in the attention display related data. (Step S92). Depending on the ranking of the collection rate, if the ranking is 1st or the collection rate is 1000% or more, the gold medal, if the ranking is 2nd or the collection rate is 200% or more, the image of the item of silver medal, etc. The high recovery rate item image data may be changed according to the rate.

  Subsequently, the granting unit 533 identifies voting data associated with a predetermined jockey name from the attention history data, and counts the number of identified voting data and the number of hit voting data among the identified voting data. . The granting unit 533 calculates the ratio of the number of hit voting data to the number of voting data, and determines whether or not the calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold (step S93). When the calculated ratio is equal to or greater than the threshold (step S93: YES), the granting unit 533, for example, an item corresponding to a jockey, such as a decorative item, colored clothing, goggles item, or the like of the player. Jockey item image data for displaying the image is written in the attention display related data (step S94).

  Subsequently, the granting unit 533 identifies voting data associated with a predetermined racehorse name from the attention history data, and counts the number of identified voting data and the number of hit voting data among the identified voting data. To do. The granting unit 533 calculates the ratio of the number of hit voting data to the number of voting data, and determines whether or not the calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold (step S95). When the calculated ratio is equal to or greater than the threshold (step S95: YES), the granting unit 533 pays attention to the racehorse item image data for displaying an image of an item corresponding to the racehorse, such as a whip or a mental item, for example. The display related data is written (step S96).

  Subsequently, the granting unit 533 identifies voting data in which a predetermined betting method such as a triple winning single method or a triple winning double method is set from the attention history data, and the number of the specified voting data and the middle of the specified voting data are determined. Count the number of voting data. The granting unit 533 calculates the ratio of the number of hit voting data to the number of voting data, and determines whether or not the calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold (step S97). When the calculated ratio is equal to or greater than the threshold (step S97: YES), the granting unit 533 displays the betting type item image data for displaying the image of the item corresponding to the betting type such as the beard, the wand, the pipe, etc. Data is written (step S98).

  Subsequently, the granting unit 533 identifies the voting data in which each venue is set from the attention history data, and for each venue, specifies the number of identified voting data and the number of hit voting data among the identified voting data. Count. For each venue, the granting unit 533 calculates the ratio of the number of hit voting data to the number of voting data, and determines whether the calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold (step S99). When there is a venue where the calculated ratio is equal to or greater than the threshold (step S99: YES), the granting unit 533 displays an image of an item corresponding to the venue, such as a local specialty or a background of a typical building where the venue is located. Is displayed in the attention display related data (step S100).

  Subsequently, the assigning unit 533 identifies voting data corresponding to each grade type such as GI, GII, GIII, and failure from the attention history data, and for each grade type, the number of the specified voting data and the specified voting data We count the number of hit vote data. The granting unit 533 calculates the ratio of the number of hit voting data to the number of voting data for each grade type, and determines whether the calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold (step S101). If there is a grade type with the calculated ratio equal to or greater than the threshold (step S101: YES), the assigning unit 533 writes the grade type item image data for displaying the image of the item corresponding to the grade type in the attention display related data. (Step S102).

  Subsequently, the granting unit 533 identifies voting data corresponding to weather such as rain and snow from the attention history data, and counts the number of identified voting data and the number of hit voting data among the identified voting data. The granting unit 533 calculates the ratio of the number of hit voting data to the number of voting data for a predetermined weather, and determines whether the calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold (step S103). When the calculated ratio is equal to or greater than the threshold (step S103: YES), the granting unit 533 displays weather item image data for displaying an image of an item corresponding to the weather, such as an umbrella if raining or a snowman if snowing. Is written in the attention display related data (step S104).

  If there is a member number that has not been noticed yet (step S88: NO), the granting unit 533 returns to FIG. 14, pays attention to the next member number (step S71), performs the processing from step S72 again, and all If the member number is noticed (step S88: YES), the process is terminated.

  In the above, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, item image data according to the condition is provided, but an avatar may be provided. Specifically, for each avatar character, an avatar image having a different size is stored in the storage unit 520, and when the predetermined item provision condition is met, the provision unit 533 displays the attention display related data.

Here, processing when a viewer who is a member of the community site determines a vote target based on the expectation of the predictor and purchases a voting ticket will be described. In addition, an anticipation person may become a viewer. That is, the same process is performed when the predictor determines a vote target based on the prediction of another predictor and purchases a voting ticket. In this case, the terminal device 100b may be read as the terminal device 100a. .

FIGS. 16 and 17 are sequence diagrams in the case where a viewer accesses the vote prediction disclosure device 500 from his / her terminal device 100b and votes based on the prediction of the predictor.
In FIG. 16, the viewer inputs an instruction to access the URL of the top page of the public sports community site through the input unit 120 of the terminal device 100b. Upon receiving the access request to the top page from the terminal device 100b, the vote prediction disclosure device 500 or the web server (not shown) returns the image data of the top page.

Input (step S111). Thereby, the browsing request part 142 of the terminal device 100b notifies a member number to the vote prediction disclosure apparatus 500 specified by URL of a public competition community site (step S112). The search unit 534 of the predicted vote disclosure device 500 returns the screen data of the search condition input screen for inputting the search condition to the terminal device 100b (step S113). The browsing request unit 142 of the terminal device 100b causes the display unit 130 to display the received screen data.

  The viewer inputs the search condition on the search condition input screen using the input unit 120 of the terminal device 100b (step S114). For example, check the corresponding check boxes for high dividends, GI, consecutive wins, charisma, hit rates, and payout rates, and pull-down menus for wagering, grade type, venue, weather, jockey name, and racehorse name. Enter the search condition by entering characters. The browsing request unit 142 of the terminal device 100b transmits the search condition input by the input unit 120 to the vote prediction disclosure device 500 (step S115).

  The search unit 534 of the voting prediction disclosure device 500 searches the storage unit 520 to register all item image data or avatar image data corresponding to each of the received search conditions and set the prediction disclosure possible. The display related data of the predicted person is identified (step S116). That is, if the search condition is a high payout, the high payout item image data, if it is GI, the grade race item image data, if it is a consecutive win, if it is a consecutive win item image data, if it is charisma, the charisma item image data, if it is a hit rate High recovery rate item image data, high recovery rate item image data if recovery rate, jockey item image data corresponding to the jockey if jockey, racehorse item image data corresponding to the racehorse if racehorse If it is a betting type, betting item image data corresponding to the betting type, if it is a venue, venue item image data corresponding to the venue, if grade type, a grade type item image corresponding to the grade type If the data is weather, the weather item image data corresponding to the weather is used as the corresponding item image data.

  When the search unit 534 reads each user's nickname, URL, avatar image data, and item image data from each of the specified display-related data, the search unit 534 combines the nickname linked with the URL for each user, the avatar image data, and the item image data. The screen data of the search result display screen for displaying the images as a list is generated and returned to the terminal device 100b (step S117).
