Description

The present invention relates to a bingo card operation management system and a bingo card operation management method using a computer .

  Conventionally, a bingo game using a bingo card is widely known. In general bingo cards, a total of 25 squares are written in 5 rows and 5 columns, and 24 of the numbers from 1 to 75 are written in 24 squares excluding the center. The center of the bingo card is treated as a valid number from the beginning as FREE, and the same number is not duplicated in one card. After the bingo cards are dealt to the game participants, a whiteboard or display screen is displayed so that the facilitator can know the numbers (numbers) randomly extracted by a lottery box, lottery machine (bingo machine), etc. Etc. If each card has the same number, the cell will be valid, so that participants can distinguish by marking or folding a valid cell, making a hole, and repeating this. Erases a valid square from each of their cards, and the player who wins five of them in the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal direction wins (bingo). Bingo games are often performed as entertainment at events such as parties and banquets, and are often played by those who have quickly become bingo to receive luxurious prizes.

In the bingo game, when the number of participants increases or the set of randomly selected numbers increases, the number of winners increases because it becomes easier to win. For example, reading 17 numbers gives a winning probability of about 1%, reading 24 numbers gives a winning probability of about 5%, reading 41 numbers gives a winning probability of about 50%, and reading 52 numbers The winning probability is about 90%.
Therefore, at parties, etc., as the number is read aloud, the number of winners increases, and many participants gather at the reception, so it is immediately judged at the reception whether the participant's bingo card is won or not. This is often difficult, and there are many requests for accurate determination of winning information on bingo cards in a short time.

  In recent years, with the development of computer technology, several methods have been devised for managing computer winning information of bingo cards.

  In Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-29465), participants register their bingo cards, submit the bingo card stubs for acceptance, draw a bingo number by computer, It is described that the information of the progress, the reach occurrence person (one person who has established a bingo) and the winner (one who has achieved a bingo) is displayed on the screen.

  Patent document 2 (US Pat. No. 5,613,689) sells a bingo card with a bar code for scanning and identifying with a machine, and records and manages the sale of the bingo card through a register. Is described.

  In Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009-129028), a plurality of POS (Point Of Sales) terminals having a scanner for reading a barcode and a printer for issuing a receipt, etc., and price information of products are provided to each POS terminal. A POS system comprising a store controller that transmits and stores merchandise in a store and manages inventory, a monitoring device that monitors transmission / reception data between the POS terminal and the store controller, and transmission / reception data monitored by the monitoring device It is described that a coupon issue management system is configured by adding a bingo coupon issuance instruction and a coupon management device for performing update management according to the number of bingo established by satisfying a predetermined condition. ing. The coupon is issued as a coupon updated with a bingo mark provided by satisfying certain conditions, and a benefit such as a discount on the product can be received by the coupon for which the bingo is established.

  In Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-86696), a portable terminal is used to perform a bingo game over several days while ensuring fairness among game participants. After downloading the bingo card data from the database server of the system, the numerical information entered by operating the key input unit is decoded by the numerical information decoding unit and converted into a bingo number, and the verification unit displays the bingo number and bingo card data. It is described that, when collation is performed, the determination unit determines whether or not there is a reach state and a bingo state, and when the determination result is determined to be reach or bingo, the operation server is notified.

  However, in the method of Patent Document 1, a participant must cut out a bingo card stub and submit it to the reception in advance, and register it in the database at the reception, and complicated processing after distributing the bingo card to the participants. Is required. In Patent Document 2, since there is no description other than bingo card sales management, bingo card winning management is not assumed. Although Patent Document 3 is said to be a bingo card in terms of form, it is merely issuing a coupon ticket that makes it easy to win, and since Patent Document 4 is a virtual game using a mobile terminal, both are actually Does not issue bingo cards and does not use them.

  Originally, the best part of the bingo game is that the participants have a bingo card in their hands and expect that the randomly extracted and displayed numbers will be on their cards. , So that participants can distinguish by marking or bending a valid square, making a hole, and repeating this, the participant erases the valid square from their card, and quickly・ To win a prize from a person who wins five times in either the horizontal or diagonal direction and quickly becomes a bingo. In other words, if a participant does not have a bingo card, it will not be interesting, but the bingo game is difficult to manage. For example, if a participant mistakenly calls bingo, participates in the middle of the game, or leaves and returns in the middle of the game, the winning situation cannot be grasped and the bingo game cannot keep up.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the inventor of the present application intends to further spread a bingo game using a conventional bingo card, and assumes the use of a conventional card in which a bingo card is distributed to participants. As a result, we conducted intensive research to determine whether a bingo card operation management system could be created that could quickly confirm the winning status after the bingo card was dealt, etc. We were able to build a bingo card operation management system with a completely new concept that has never been seen before.

An object of the present invention, by utilizing a computer, operational processing such as confirmation of the winning situation after the bingo card has been dealt with quickly done, operation management system and of bingo cards that can be enjoyed by elaborately It is to provide an operation management method of a bingo card .

The bingo card operation management system of the present invention includes a bingo card, a barcode reading scanner, a computer, a display, and a printer, and the bingo card is printed with an individual identification barcode and number array data, The computer includes a first database in which the number array data digitized in one-to-one correspondence with the barcode is stored, a second database for storing and storing data after data processing, a CPU, and a control program. The control program draws an arbitrary winning number from all the numbers that can be given to the bingo card by the number of lotteries associated with one or more of the purchase price, the designated product name, and the privilege points. An arithmetic expression is set, and the control program is operated on the computer. When the bar code of any bingo card is read by a scanner, unique number array data corresponding to the bar code of the bingo card is extracted from the first database and the bingo card is effectively registered. Next, a winning number is drawn by lottery based on the arithmetic expression, and the bingo card barcode array and the lottery winning number are subjected to data processing for collating the bingo card number array data and the lottery winning number. The winning situation data corresponding to the winning numbers is stored and stored in the second database, and then the barcode of the bingo card is read by the scanner, the winning situation data of the bingo card is stored in the second database. And the latest date and time when the bingo card was scanned And issues a receipt and print the winning numbers card number and the corresponding of the bingo card at the printer.
The bingo card operation management method according to the present invention includes a bingo card on which an individual identification barcode and number array data are printed, and the number array data digitized in a one-to-one correspondence with the barcode. A computer having a first database, a second database for storing and storing data after data processing, a CPU, and a control program, and operating the control program on the computer, and the arbitrary bingo card When the barcode is read by the scanner, the unique number array data corresponding one-to-one with the barcode of the bingo card is extracted from the first database, and the bingo card is effectively registered. One of the purchase price, designated product name, and reward points depending on the calculation formula set in the program A lottery number associated with the above is used to draw an arbitrary winning number from all the numbers that can be given to the bingo card, and data processing is performed to collate the bingo card number array data with the lottery winning number. The winning status data obtained by making one-to-one correspondence between the barcode of the bingo card and the lottery winning number is stored in the second database, and then the barcode of the bingo card is stored in the scanner. And reading the winning situation data obtained in one-to-one correspondence with the barcode of the bingo card from the second database and displaying it on the display, and the latest date and time when the bingo card was scanned Printing the card number of the bingo card and the corresponding winning number with a printer and issuing a receipt And butterflies.
In the present invention, the bar code is a concept including not only a one-dimensional bar code but also a two-dimensional QR code (registered trademark), and refers to a solid identification code.

In the present invention, a bingo card provided with a barcode for individual identification is stored and stored in advance in a first database as unique number arrangement data digitized in one-to-one correspondence with the barcode. Then, when the control program is operated on a computer and the bingo card is distributed to the participants, the barcode corresponding to the barcode is read when the barcode of the arbitrary bingo card is read by the scanner. Is extracted from the first database and the authenticity of the barcode is confirmed, and then the bingo card is registered effectively. Next, the lottery means randomly draws at least one winning number, performs data processing for checking the number array data of the specific bingo card and the winning number, and the data processed data is second Accumulate and save in the database. At this point, data processing in the computer makes it possible to instantly determine whether or not the bingo card that has been successfully registered has been won, whether it has been reached, whether the winning number is in the bingo card, etc. It is ready for use. After that, when the barcode of the bingo card registered as valid is read by the scanner, the unique data processed data corresponding one-to-one with the barcode is extracted from the second database, and the scanner The screen shows the winning status of the read bingo card on the display. The display may be integrated with the computer, but by using a display externally connected to the computer, the bingo card linked to the winning number is displayed without displaying the computer input screen. Only the winning situation may be displayed on the screen by the externally connected display so that the participant can easily see it.
Therefore, according to the present invention, if the participant holds the bingo card and expects the randomly extracted and displayed number to be on the card on hand, if the same number is present, the cell becomes effective. So, participants can make a distinction by marking or folding a valid square by themselves, making a hole, and repeating this, and the participant erases the valid square from their own card, and quickly While maintaining the excitement of winning five consecutively in the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions, whether or not the bingo card is won or not by the data processing in the computer, whether the winning number is the above Since it is immediately determined whether or not the bingo card is present, operation processing such as confirmation of the winning situation after the bingo card is dealt can be performed quickly.

  In the present invention, the control program is set with an arithmetic expression for drawing the winning number based on the number of lotteries associated with product purchase. Each time a participant purchases a product, the barcode is read by the scanner. The winning number is drawn out and issued by the number of times of lottery calculated by the calculation formula, and the winning status of the bingo card read by the scanner is displayed on the display. The product here refers to a concept that includes not only food and drink and stationery products, but also the use of facilities such as bowling alleys and hot baths, and services such as massage and golf lessons. The number of lotteries associated with product purchase refers to, for example, the number of lotteries associated with one or more of a product purchase act, product purchase price, designated product name, and accumulated point value. Moreover, the point points out the privilege point obtained by the agreement in a store or between stores, and points out the concept also including the conversion from a point card.

  In the present invention, for example, each time a purchase action for a product is performed, an arithmetic expression for drawing the winning number once is set in the control program. An arithmetic expression for increasing the number of times a number is drawn is set in the control program, an arithmetic expression for giving a bonus for the number of times the winning number is lottered in association with a designated product is set in the control program, or a point accumulation value is set An arithmetic expression for drawing the winning number once when the value is reached is set in the control program. When the bar code is read by the scanner at a cash register every time a participant purchases a product, the control program draws the winning number by the number of lotteries calculated by the arithmetic expression. For example, the winning number is drawn once for every 500 yen, or the winning number is drawn once every time a product is purchased. , You can encourage them to visit the store repeatedly, contributing to increased store sales and fixed customers.

  In the present invention, as the winning status display, the number array data is displayed in a matrix in accordance with the display of the bingo card read by the scanner, and the location of the number array data matching the issued winning number is displayed. It is characterized in that it is displayed differently on the display.

  According to the present invention, the number array data is displayed in a matrix on the display in accordance with the display of the bingo card held by the participant, and the display of the location of the number array data that matches the issued winning number is changed. Since it is displayed, it is obvious from the participants whether the bingo card is won, whether it is reach, whether the winning number is on the bingo card, and the like. The display of the location of the number array data that matches the issued winning number, such as changing the number and the color of the background, flashing the number, rotating the square, showing the number large, etc. Clearly distinguish between the winning numbers and those that do not match.

The present invention is the effect when registered barcodes bingo card reading by the scanner, the screen displays the number array data of the bingo card on the display, and, consistent with the number sequence and the lottery has been winning number It is characterized in that the receipt is issued by printing with different display of data portions.

  According to the present invention, the control program runs on a computer, and each time a product is purchased, the printer issues a receipt that prints the lottery number selected by lottery so that a participant can print the winning printed on the receipt. It is easy to compare the number with your bingo card. For example, when playing different bingo games in groups (room units) of several to several tens of people in karaoke or pubs, you can participate by issuing a receipt with the lottery number printed on each room. It is possible to prevent the person from mistaking the winning number, and the operation processing such as confirmation of the winning situation after the bingo card is dealt can be performed quickly and accurately. Furthermore, by issuing a receipt printed with a different display of the number array data of the bingo card that matches the lottery winning number, if the participant sees the receipt, the bingo card is won It is obvious whether it is, whether it is reach, whether the winning number is on the bingo card, and so on. The display of the location of the number array data that matches the issued winning number can be done by inverting the number or background color in black and white, surrounding the number with a star mark, or displaying the number in bold. The distinction from the part that does not match the winning number is clearly made clear.

The present invention, when reading a bar code of the valid registered bingo card at the scanner, and count down the expiration dates of the bingo card calculates the remaining number of days until the expiration date, the remaining number of days until the expiration date Is printed and the receipt is issued.

  In the present invention, when distributing the bingo card, the date and time of valid registration are accumulated and stored in the second database, and the bar code of the bingo card is read with the scanner at a later date, the control program However, the expiration date is calculated by counting down the expiration date of the bingo card registered as valid. For example, in a restaurant or fitness club, when the expiration date is set from several days to several months and a different bingo game is played on an individual basis, the printer issues a receipt printed with the expiration date. The user can avoid forgetting the expiration date of the bingo card, and the operation processing such as confirmation of the expiration date after the bingo card is dealt can be performed quickly and accurately.

The present invention is characterized in that the bingo card and the barcode are printed on one side on a card-sized sheet. Here, the card size means a size applied to a credit card, a commuter pass, a business card, a point card, and the like, and refers to a size that fits into a wallet, a business card holder, a periodic holder, and the like.
The present invention is used when playing different bingo games on a room-by-room basis in a karaoke or tavern, and when the barcode of the bingo card registered as valid is read by the scanner, the corresponding room number is printed and the receipt is printed. It is characterized by issuing.
The present invention is used when playing different bingo games in individual units in restaurants, fitness clubs, and the like. When the barcode of the valid registered bingo card is read by the scanner, the expiration date of the bingo card is calculated. The number of days remaining until the expiration date is calculated by counting down, the number of days remaining until the expiration date is printed, and the receipt is issued.
The present invention is used when a bingo game different in individual units is entered at an amusement park, a tower, or the like, and when the barcode of the bingo card that is registered valid is read by the scanner, the corresponding winning number is different. And printing and issuing a plurality of receipts.

The bingo card operation management system 1 of this embodiment includes a computer 3, a control program 2 that operates on the computer 3, a first database 51, and a second database 52. The computer 3 includes a first display 71 that displays a computer operation screen, a second display 72 that displays a winning status, a printer 8 that issues a receipt 81, a scanner 61 that reads a barcode, a keyboard, and the like. Input means 62 such as a mouse is connected (FIG. 1). The processing capability of the computer 3 is sufficient with a so-called personal computer that is commercially available.

In the bingo card operation management system 1 of the present embodiment, a bingo card 9 provided with a bar code 92 for individual identification is used (FIG. 1). The bingo card 9 of this embodiment has a total of 25 squares in 5 rows and 5 columns, and 24 numbers out of the numbers from 1 to 75 are written in 24 squares excluding the center (reference numeral 91). The center of the bingo card is treated as a valid number from the beginning as FREE, and the same number is not duplicated in one card. In addition to the individual identification barcode 92, a solid identification number (symbol 93) is printed, and this can be preliminarily input in case the barcode 92 cannot be read by the scanner 61. This is what we consider. The barcode 92 may be a QR code (registered trademark) .

In the bingo card operation management system 1 of the present embodiment, the computer 3 is digitized in a one-to-one correspondence with the 24 unique numbers 91 using the code number of the barcode 92 and the solid identification number 93 as an index. A first database 51 in which number array data is stored and stored is provided, and the control program 2 is provided with a lottery means (lottery program) for randomly drawing winning numbers from numbers 1 to 75. In the lottery program, a random function is used to randomly draw an arbitrary winning number from numbers 1 to 75. Then, by operating the control program 2 on the computer 3, the CPU 4 performs data processing for collating the unique number array data (data corresponding to the reference numeral 91) with the winning number, and after the data processing Are accumulated and stored in the second database.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a first database creation procedure in the present embodiment. First, the barcode 61 is read by the scanner 61 (reference S1), and it is confirmed that it matches the individual identification number 93, and the 24 unique numbers 91 are obtained using the code number of the barcode 92 and the individual identification number 93 as an index. Number sequence data digitized in a one-to-one correspondence is input (reference S2), stored and stored, and the first database 51 is created (reference S3). For example, bingo cards 9 having different numbers of arrangements are prepared in units of thousands, for example, in units of 2,000 to 6,000, and the first database 51 is constructed by the above procedure.

  FIG. 2 shows an initial screen displayed on the first display 71 when the control program 2 is operated on the computer 3 in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, there is a room / table type as the first operation management of the bingo card, a long type as the second operation management of the bingo card, and a party type as the third operation management of the bingo card. There is an amusement park / ferris wheel type as the fourth operation management of cards. The four operation management procedures of the bingo card will be sequentially described below with reference to flowcharts.

(First operation management procedure of the present invention)
The first operation management of the present embodiment assumes a case where different bingo games are performed in units of groups (room units) of several to several tens of people, for example, in karaoke or a pub. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an initial processing procedure of the first (or second) operation processing of the bingo card in the above embodiment.

  As a preliminary preparation, when the control program 2 is operated on the computer 3, the menu program 22 is activated and an initial screen is displayed on the first display 71 (FIG. 2). When the icon is clicked, the first data processing program 211 is activated.

Then, in accordance with the procedure shown in FIG. 4, the barcode 92 of an arbitrary bingo card 9 is read by the scanner 61 (reference S4), and specific number array data corresponding to the barcode 92 is extracted from the first database 51. After confirming the authenticity of the bar code 92, the bingo card 9 is registered effectively (reference S6).

Next to the valid registration of the bingo card 9 (reference S6), a predetermined lottery number is input (reference S7), and the lottery means a lottery number for the predetermined lottery number (reference S8). In the present embodiment, the control program 2 is set with an arithmetic expression for drawing the winning number by the number of lotteries associated with either the purchase price of the product or the designated product, or both, and the participant (customer) When the bar code 92 is read by the scanner 61 at a cash register every time a product is purchased, the winning number is selected according to the number of lotteries calculated by the arithmetic expression. For example, the customer's willingness to purchase is stimulated by drawing the winning number once for every 500 yen or by drawing the winning number for each beer.

When the winning number is lottery (reference S8), data processing for comparing the number array data of the specific bingo card 9 and the winning number is performed (reference S9), and the data after the data processing is stored in the second database 52. Is stored and stored (reference S10), and the winning status when the number arrangement data of the specific bingo card 9 and the winning number are collated is displayed on the first display 71 or the second display 72 (reference sign). S21).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an intermediate screen in the first operation processing procedure on the first display 71. In this example, no. Ten winning numbers are issued for the 0940 bingo card 9. When there is a winning number in the bingo card, the winning status such as presence / absence of the winning number and arrangement of the winning number is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner by displaying the winning number in color or black and white reversed.

  When the winning status is displayed on the display (reference S21), the printer 8 issues a receipt 81 on which the winning number is printed almost simultaneously. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a winning number issuance receipt 81 issued in accordance with the screen display of FIG. The winning number issuance receipt 81 is printed with the date and time when the barcode 92 is scanned, the room number to be used, the card number 93, and the winning number.

  When the receipt 81 is issued (reference S22), it is confirmed whether or not the bingo is established (reference S23). When the bingo is established, the bingo receipt is issued (reference S24), and the process is terminated when the bingo is not established. Confirmation is performed (reference S25).

Here, for example, it is assumed that at the time of completion confirmation (reference S25), the customer additionally places an order and issues another 20 winning numbers. At this time, when the barcode 92 is read by the scanner 61 at the register (reference S101), specific number array data corresponding to the barcode 92 is extracted from the second database 51 (reference S102). After confirming the authenticity of the barcode 92, a predetermined number of wins (here, 20) is input (reference numeral 103), 20 winning numbers are selected (reference numeral 104), and the specific bingo card 9 is selected. The data processing for collating the number array data with the winning number is performed (reference S105), the data after the data processing is stored in the second database 52, and the second database 52 is updated (reference S106). Then, the winning status when the number array data of the specific bingo card 9 and the winning number are collated is displayed on the first display 71 or the second display 72 (reference S21).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a halfway screen in the first operation processing procedure on the first display 71. In this example, no. A total of 30 winning numbers are issued to the bingo card 9 of 0940. Here, since there is a winning number on one line in the bingo card, the winning number is displayed in color or in black and white, and the characters “Bingo confirmed!” And “1 line established” are displayed. ing. In addition, music such as a fanfare may be played separately.

  When the winning status is displayed on the display (reference S21), the printer 8 issues a receipt 81 on which the winning number is printed almost simultaneously. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a winning number issuance receipt 81 issued in accordance with the screen display of FIG. The winning number issuance receipt 81 is printed with the date and time when the barcode 92 is scanned, the room number to be used, the card number 93, and the winning number.

  When the receipt 81 is issued (reference S22), it is confirmed whether the bingo is established (reference S23). Here, since the bingo is established, the bingo receipt 82 is issued (reference S24), and the program is executed. finish. FIG. 13 is a view showing a bingo sheet 82 issued in accordance with the screen display of FIG.
