  In the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, S21 to S24 shown in FIG. 4A are operations performed before a horse race is held (for example, early in the morning on the day of the event). The operations after S25 shown are operations performed during the holding. 5A and 5B, the communication data 511, 531, and 551 are shown in two stages in the same manner as in FIGS. 3A and 3B described above for convenience of drawing space.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, in this operation example, before the horse race is held, first, the member management terminal device 400 sends an inquiry request signal for the member numbers of all the members and past voting details data to the member management DB 300. (S21).

  When the member management DB 300 receives the inquiry request signal, the member management DB 300 transmits a notification signal A including the member numbers of all the members and the past voting details data to the member management terminal device 400 as a response (S22). Here, the communication data included in the notification signal A is, for example, the communication data 511 illustrated in FIG. 5A. Note that the communication data 511 is communication data according to the data format 510 shown in FIG. 3A.

  When receiving the notification signal A, the member management terminal device 400 receives the notification signal A from the membership numbers of all the members and the past voting details data included in the notification signal A. The member number of the member satisfying the requirement and the past voting details data are extracted (S23). Here, a member who satisfies the conditions of a higher-level member that can be used as a reference at the time of voting, a condition A that the number of years of purchase of a voting ticket is 10 years or more, and a condition that a hit rate in past voting is 70% or more It is assumed that the member satisfies one or more of the following conditions: B and the condition C that the sum of the target amount in the past month from the present time is 1 million yen or more. The member number of the member satisfying the condition of the upper layer member and the past voting detailed data extracted in this manner are stored in the first storage area of the storage unit 440, and the condition of the upper layer member is satisfied. A notification signal B including the member number of the member is transmitted to the counting device 200 (S24). Here, the communication data included in the notification signal B is, for example, the communication data 521 shown in FIG. 5B. The communication data 521 is communication data corresponding to the data format 520 shown in FIG. 3A. However, in the communication data 521, there are three conditions “condition A”, “condition B”, and “condition C”. In the communication data 521, in each of “condition A”, “condition B”, and “condition C”, “1” indicates that the condition is satisfied, and “0” indicates that the condition is not satisfied. For example, “higher Saburo” whose “membership number” is “200000” corresponds to “condition A” and “condition C” but does not correspond to “condition B”. That is, “Top Saburo” satisfies the condition A that the voting ticket purchase period is 10 years or more and the condition C that the total amount of money in the past month from the present time is 1 million yen or more. This indicates that the member is a higher-level member who does not satisfy the condition B that the hit rate in the past voting is 70% or more.

When receiving the notification signal B, the aggregation device 200 stores the member number of the member satisfying the upper layer member condition included in the notification signal B in the second storage area of the storage unit 223.
Thereafter, the holding of the horse race is started, and as shown in FIG. 4B, during the holding of the horse race, for example, the member X1 who has purchased a voting ticket for 10 years or more makes a voting request to the voting terminal device 100. When such an input is made (S25), the voting terminal apparatus 100 transmits a voting request signal C1 including the membership number of the member X1 and voting data indicating the voting content to the counting apparatus 200 in response to the input (S26). . Here, the communication data included in the vote request signal C1 is, for example, the communication data 531 shown in FIG. 5B. The communication data 531 is communication data according to the data format 530 shown in FIG. 3A.

  Upon receiving the voting request signal C1, the counting device 200 stores the member number included in the voting request signal C1 in the second storage area of the storage unit 223 and can be used as a reference for voting. It is determined whether it is included in the member number of the member (S27). Here, since the member X1 is a member who has purchased a voting ticket for 10 years or more, the member number included in the voting request signal C1 is included in the member number included in the notification signal B described above. In other words, it is included in the membership number stored in the second storage area of the storage unit 223. As shown in FIG. 5B, the member number “200000” in the communication data 531 included in the voting request signal C1 is included in the member number in the communication data 521 included in the notification signal B. Here, it is assumed that the voting determination result by the voting processing unit 222a for the voting request signal C1 is a voting determination result. Accordingly, the counting device 200 transmits a notification signal D including the member number and voting data included in the vote request signal C1 to the member management terminal device 400 (S28). Here, the communication data included in the notification signal D is, for example, the same as the communication data 531 illustrated in FIG. 5B.

Upon receiving the notification signal D, the member management terminal device 400 stores the member number and voting data included in the notification signal D in the second storage area of the storage unit 440 (S29).
In this way, during a horse race, every time a vote is performed by a member, the same processing as S26 and S27 is performed, and if the voted member is included in the upper layer member, The same processing as S28 and S29 described above is performed, and the member number and voting data of the voted upper layer member are accumulated in the second storage area of the storage unit 440 of the member management terminal device 400.

  After that, for example, since member A1 wants to refer to the vote of the upper layer member who has purchased a voting ticket for 10 years or more at the time of voting, the condition of the upper layer member to be referred to at the time of voting is given to the voting terminal device 100. Suppose that an input related to a voting trend inquiry request by condition is made, such as selecting condition A (condition that the voting ticket purchase period is 10 years or more) from among the above conditions A, B, and C (S30). In addition, the voting terminal device 100 selects one or more of the above conditions A, B, and C as the conditions of the upper layer member to be referred to at the time of voting by the member performing a predetermined input operation. It is configured so that it can. In addition, the voting terminal device 100 is configured so that the member can change the condition of the upper layer member to be referred to at the time of voting by performing a predetermined input operation later.

  When the member A1 makes an input related to the voting trend inquiry request according to the condition such as selecting the condition A, the voting terminal apparatus 100 determines the condition of the upper layer member that is referred to at the time of voting according to the input. The condition A is selected, and a condition-specific vote trend inquiry request signal E1 including the condition A is transmitted to the member management terminal device 400 (S31). Here, the communication data included in the voting trend inquiry request signal E1 by condition is, for example, the communication data 541 shown in FIG. 5B. Note that the communication data 541 is communication data corresponding to the data format 540 shown in FIG. 3A.

  When the member management terminal device 400 receives the voting trend inquiry request signal E1 according to the condition, the member that satisfies the condition of the upper layer member that is stored in the first storage area of the storage unit 440 and can be used as a reference at the time of voting The member number of the upper layer member satisfying the condition A included in the voting trend inquiry request signal E1 by condition is extracted from the member number of the past and the past voting details data, and the member number included in the extracted member number The voting data corresponding to is read from the second storage area of the storage unit 440, and the voting odds of the upper layer member satisfying the condition A is calculated based on the voting data. Then, the voting trend notification signal F1 classified by condition including information on the voting odds of the upper layer member is transmitted to the voting terminal apparatus 100 (S32). Here, the communication data included in the voting trend notification signal F1 by condition is, for example, the communication data 551 shown in FIG. 5B. Note that the communication data 551 is communication data corresponding to the data format 550 shown in FIG. 3B. In the communication data 551, the voting odds data of upper layer members satisfying the condition A is arranged in the order of popularity for each of the different combinations of “place”, “race”, “method”, and “by formula”.

  When the voting terminal apparatus 100 receives the condition-specific voting trend notification signal F1, the voting odds information of the upper layer member satisfying the condition A included in the conditional voting trend notification signal F1 is used as a reference at the time of voting. The information is stored in the storage unit 140 as information related to the voting trend of the upper layer member.

  Thereafter, in the input related to the voting request (voting ticket purchase request) to the voting terminal device 100, for example, the member A1 uses “●● place” as the place name, “1 race” as the race, and “normal” as the method. ”Is input to select“ triple unit ”by expression (S33), the voting terminal apparatus 100 stores the reference at the time of voting stored in the storage unit 140 according to the input. Based on the information related to the voting trend of the upper layer members (here, the upper layer members satisfying the condition A), the “●●”, “1 race”, “normal”, “ Information on the voting odds in “triple unit” is displayed in order of popularity on the display unit 110 (S34). Thereby, the member A1 can obtain the voting trend of the upper layer member satisfying the condition A, and can vote by referring to it.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 4C, the member A1 wants to update the information on the voting odds of the upper layer member displayed on the display unit 110 to the latest information. If the input for updating it is performed (S35), the voting terminal apparatus 100 again manages the member-based voting trend inquiry request signal E2 including the condition A in the same manner as S31 described above in response to the input. It transmits to the terminal device 400 (S36).

  When the member management terminal device 400 receives the condition-specific vote trend inquiry request signal E2, the member of the upper layer member that satisfies the condition A included in the condition-specific vote trend inquiry request signal E2 again, as in S32 above. The voting data corresponding to the number is read from the second storage area of the storage unit 440, the voting odds of the upper layer member satisfying the condition A are calculated based on the voting data, and information on the voting odds of the upper layer member is included. The voting trend notification signal F2 by condition is transmitted to the voting terminal device 100 (S37). If there is a new voting request or subtraction request by an upper layer member satisfying the condition A from the time point S32 to the time point S37, it is stored in the second storage area of the storage unit 440 at the time point S37. In some cases, the voting data of the upper layer members satisfying the condition A has increased or decreased compared to the time of the process of S32. In such a case, the higher-order member voting odds information included in the conditional voting trend notification signal F1 transmitted in S32 is included in the conditional voting trend notification signal F2 transmitted in S37. The information on the voting odds of the higher-ranking members will be updated.

  When the voting terminal device 100 receives the voting trend notification signal F2 by condition, the voting odds information of the upper-layer member satisfying the condition A included in the voting trend notification signal F2 by condition again is used as a reference at the time of voting. The information is stored in the storage unit 140 as information related to the voting trend of the upper layer member. It should be noted that the information related to the voting trend of the upper-layer member that has been stored in the storage unit 140 and is used as a reference at the time of voting is deleted. Based on the information related to the voting trend of the upper layer member (here, the upper layer member satisfying the condition A) newly stored in the storage unit 140 and used as a reference at the time of voting, the upper layer satisfying the condition A again. The information on the voting odds in the “●● field”, “1 race”, “normal”, and “triple unit” of the layer members is displayed on the display unit 110 in order of popularity. Thereby, the information on the voting odds of the upper layer member displayed on the display unit 110 is updated to the latest information. Therefore, the member A1 can obtain the voting trend of the upper layer member satisfying the condition A in real time, and can vote with reference to it.

  After that, when the member A1 wants to change the race from “1 race” to “2 races”, for example, when the member A1 inputs to the voting terminal device 100 to change it (S38), the voting terminal device 100 , Based on the information related to the voting trend of the upper layer member (here, the upper layer member satisfying the condition A) stored in the storage unit 140 and used as a reference at the time of voting, as in S34 Then, the information on the voting odds in the “●● field”, “2 races”, “normal”, and “triple unit” of the upper layer members satisfying the condition A are arranged in the order of popularity and displayed on the display unit 110 (S39). As a result, the member A1 can obtain the voting trend of the upper-tier member satisfying the condition A after changing the race from “1 race” to “2 races”, and can vote with reference thereto. .

  Here, for example, the vote that the member A1 selects “3-2-1”, which is the most popular combination number included in the voting odds information of the upper-layer member displayed on the display unit 110, etc. When the input related to the request is made (S40), the voting terminal apparatus 100 responds to the input with the member number of the member A1 and the voting content (the place name is “●● place”, the race is “2 races”, and the method is A voting request signal C2 including “ordinary”, voting data indicating “single triple” by expression, and “3-2-1” as a set number is transmitted to the counting device 200 (S41). Thereby, the voting of the member A1 is performed.

  In this operation, the member performs a predetermined input operation on the voting terminal device 100, whereby the condition of the upper-layer member to be used as a reference at the time of voting selected in the input related to the voting trend inquiry request according to the condition in S30 described above. Of course, it is also possible to change. In this case, the same processing as S31, S32, etc. is performed according to the changed condition.
