Description

  The present invention relates to a lottery winning number planning system, and is particularly suitable for systematically determining the number of prizes when the number of prizes is determined in a case where a lottery is performed at an event to provide a prize. The present invention relates to a lottery winning number planning system.

  In various events, such as events, there are cases where a prize is prepared as a service for those who participate in the event and a lottery is performed to provide a prize to the winner. This type of lottery is usually an electronic lottery device using a computer, and when a lottery participant performs a lottery input operation on the computer, the computer executes a lottery execution program based on the lottery input operation. A lottery apparatus that executes and implements a lottery execution means and performs a lottery is used. In this lottery apparatus, the probability of determining the number of winning lots (winning number) is generally set to a constant value in the lottery execution program. In the configuration of the lottery apparatus that uses the probability of this constant value, the number of winners is determined according to the number of lottery participants. When the number of lottery participants is large, the number of winners increases, and when the number of participants is small, the number of winners decreases.

As a conventional technique, a sales profit return method in an amusement store has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). In this method and the like, a method and a device configuration have been proposed in which the profits of sales are returned to the player at each pachinko machine installed in the pachinko parlor. For this reason, the ratio of winning on the pachinko machine is adjusted according to the sales profit so as to be advantageous to the player. Specifically, a computer that controls the operation of the pachinko machine first sets a target divide (target ratio or probability), captures information on the operating state of the pachinko machine, and based on the information, and so as to adjust the split number to reduce the part of the sales profits to the player. Therefore, the probability of determining the number of winning lots is not constant and can be changed, but this change is made according to the sales profit of the pachinko parlor, depending on the number of lottery participants. It is not intended to be done.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments (examples) of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1 and 2 show a configuration of a representative embodiment of a lottery winning number planning system according to the present invention. In this lottery winning number planning system, as an example, an example of application to a merchandise sales store 11 such as a convenience store is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the lottery winning number planning system according to the present embodiment includes a lottery terminal or lottery device 13 (hereinafter referred to as “lottery terminal 13”) at a location near the cash register 12 in the merchandise sales store 11. It is provided as Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the lottery terminal 13 includes an IC card reader / writer 21, a printer 22, a display device 23, a CPU 24, and a memory 25 as components. The CPU 24 and the memory 25 are constituted by a microcomputer. In the illustrated example, the lottery terminal 13 is configured as an individual stand-alone computer completed by itself, but is connected to a remote upper management computer (server) via a network, and the lottery is executed under the management of the management computer. A lottery may be executed based on the means. In the memory 25, a lottery program 26, winning pattern set data 27, and lottery condition set data 28 are stored. Details of processing contents based on the lottery program 26 will be described later. Usually, the user 14 purchases a necessary product at a specific product sales store 11, then goes to the cash register 12 of the product sales store 11 and pays money using an IC card 15 that can be used for merchandise sales. The IC card 15 is, for example, a commercially available IC card used in a transportation system or other wallet mobile, and is an electronic portable terminal that can perform payment settlement. In the lottery winning number planning system according to the present embodiment, when paying money using the IC card 15, if the IC card 15 is used to purchase more than a certain amount, the right to perform the lottery is given. It is assumed. Whether or not a certain amount of purchases have been made is determined based on shopping history data (purchase amount, etc.) recorded in the internal memory of the IC card 15.

  In FIG. 2, the lottery program 26 is read and executed by the CPU 24, thereby realizing a lottery execution means (lottery execution device) 31. When the IC card reader / writer 21 as the IC card input means reads the history data 32 recorded in the memory in the IC card 15 of the user 14, the lottery execution means 31 reads the history data 32 into the IC card reader / writer. 21. The lottery execution means 31 determines whether or not the user 14 has the right to perform a lottery based on the history data 32. If it is determined that the user 14 has the right to perform a lottery, a lottery process is executed. When it is determined whether or not the user has the right to perform a lottery based on the history data 32, a specific lottery condition is selected from the lottery condition set data 28 including a plurality of lottery conditions and used as a target for verification. The lottery conditions are appropriately set in advance by the service provider 16 and stored in the memory 25. When the lottery process is executed, the lottery execution means 31 selects a specific winning pattern from the winning pattern set data 27 including a plurality of winning patterns, and refers to the winning pattern to determine whether the winning time is within the winning time. Determine and execute the lottery. The plurality of lottery conditions and the plurality of winning patterns are planned in advance by the service provider 16 that executes the lottery. The lottery result 33 based on the lottery process executed by the lottery execution means 31 is displayed on the screen of the display device 23. When winning, information related to the winning ticket 34 is provided to the printer 22, and the winning ticket 34 is supplied from the printer 22 to the paper. Is output. As a result of the lottery, the user 14 obtains a winning ticket 34 when winning. The user 14 can exchange the winning ticket 34 for a prize.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the above winning pattern. The winning pattern 27a is table format data. One record is won in the winning pattern 27a in the table format. In the winning pattern 27a in the table format, a plurality of items relating to records are described on the upper side. The plurality of items include “ID”, “prize”, “winning range start time”, “winning range end time”, “winning planned time”, “card ID”, and “winning time”.

  “ID” is an ID value for identifying one record in the winning pattern 27a in the table format. “Premium” indicates the type of premium (eg, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). “Winning range start time” and “Winning start end time” indicate a period during which a lottery is held when a lottery is performed. In this example, every day. “Winning plan time” indicates the time when the prize set in the record is won. In the lottery winning number planning system according to this embodiment, a user who has performed a lottery within a time range from the winning planning time to the winning range end time wins. “Card ID” records the card ID possessed by the user who won the prize set in the record. Based on the fact that the card ID is recorded, it is determined that the record has been won. “Winning time” records the time when the prize set in the record is won.

  According to the winning pattern 27a shown in FIG. 3, an example is shown in which the number of winnings is planned every day. For example, December 23, 2009, December 24, 2009, December 25, 2009 are shown as examples. The number of minutes won is set. According to the winning pattern 27a, the occurrence of winning is determined by the concept of “time range”. This makes it possible to control the number of winnings every day, and the prizes are processed without excess or deficiency according to the number of lottery participants and the number of prizes remaining (stock quantity).

  Next, the contents of the lottery operation executed by the lottery execution means 31 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  The overall flow of the lottery process based on the lottery winning number planning system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, in a first step S11, a plurality of winning patterns are created. A plurality of winning patterns are created by the service provider 16 and stored as winning pattern set data 27 in the memory 25 of the lottery terminal 13 via the input device 29 shown in FIG. The winning pattern stored in the memory 13 is used when the lottery terminal 13 executes the lottery for the user 14 who has the right to perform the lottery by the lottery execution means 31.

  In the next step S12, it is determined whether or not the lottery service is being performed. As a matter of course, when it is determined “out of period” (NO) in the determination step S12, the operation of the lottery terminal 13 ends without performing the lottery process. The “lottery service period” is arbitrarily determined in advance according to, for example, the business situation of the service provider 16 for each store (a specific service event according to the time), and is related to the “lottery service period”. Data is stored in the memory 25.

  When it is determined that “it is within the period” (YES) in the determination step S12, the process flows to the side where the lottery is executed, and in the next determination step S13, it is determined whether or not the business in the merchandise sales store 11 has ended. Is done. When it is determined in the determination step S13 that “it is within the business period” (YES), it is further determined whether or not there is a lottery start request in the next determination step S14. If it is determined in the determination step S13 that it is “out of business period” (NO), inventory carry-over processing (subroutine) is executed (step S15). The inventory carry-over process is a process for including the prize in the inventory in the prize for the next day when the prize of the day remains and as a result, the prize remains. In terms of data processing, the data related to the winning of the current day is inserted into the data related to the winning pattern of the next day. The contents of the inventory carry-over process will be described later with reference to FIG. When step S15 ends, the process returns to determination step S12. In the above description, since the “business period” is set for each store, the data related to the “business period” is stored in the memory 25 by the service provider 16 that manages the product sales store 11.

  If there is no lottery start request in the determination step S14 (NO), the process returns to the determination step S12. If there is a lottery start request in determination step S14 (YES), a lottery process (subroutine) is started and executed (step S16). When the lottery process (step S16) ends, the process returns to the determination step S12. The contents of step S16 of the lottery process will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  In the above description, the “lottery start request” in the determination step S14 indicates whether or not the history data of the IC card 15 sent from the IC card reader / writer 21 is compared with the selected lottery conditions and a purchase of a certain amount or more is made. It happens based on that. A “lottery start request” is generated when a certain amount of purchases are made, and a “lottery start request” is not generated otherwise.

The flow of the lottery process (step S16) performed by the lottery execution means 31 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In the lottery process (step S16) configured as a subroutine, at the initial time when the process is started, the prize remaining on the previous day is carried over and incorporated into the winning pattern used in the current lottery process. After the lottery process starts, it is first determined whether or not the time point at which the lottery process is performed is within the winning time range in the determination step S21. Since the conditions for winning are set based on the “winning time range” determined by the winning pattern used in advance, the winning pattern is referred to in the determination step S21. If it is determined in the determination step S21 that the time is within the winning time range (YES), a “winning” determination process is performed (step S22). When it is determined in the determination step S21 that it is outside the winning time range (NO), a “losing” determination process is performed (step S23). When the “winning” determination process (step S21) is performed, the winning result 33 is displayed on the screen of the display device 23, and the winning ticket 34 is output from the printer 22 (step S24). After the “losing” determination process (step S22), the winning result 33 is displayed on the screen of the display device 23. Thereafter, the flow of the lottery process ends. The winning user 14 acquires the winning ticket 34.

Next, the flow of inventory carry-over processing (step S15) performed by the lottery execution means 31 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In this inventory carry-over process, it is determined at the first stage whether or not there is a remaining “winning” (step S31). In this lottery method, since the number of prizes, that is, the number of winnings is determined for each day in the service period based on the winning pattern described above, the lottery executing means 31 can know the remaining number of winnings. . Therefore, the remaining winning number is determined in determination step S31. If there is “winning remaining” in the determination step S31 (YES), data related to the remaining winning is randomly inserted into the winning pattern of the next day in the next processing step S32. On the other hand, if there is no “winning residue” in the determination step S31 (NO), the process is terminated.

  In the above, for the winning plan set in the winning pattern, it is possible to set the winning appearance period, for example, from what time to what time per day, or the number of winning appearances in the lottery period. . Further, the winning pattern for determining the winning plan can be reviewed and changed during the service period, for example, in units of one day or business hours. Further, the lottery winning number planning system itself may be configured to have a learning function based on change information of the number of lottery participants.

  The configurations, shapes, sizes, and arrangement relationships described in the above embodiments are merely schematically shown to the extent that the present invention can be understood and implemented. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the technical idea shown in the claims.

  The lottery winning number planning system according to the present invention is, for example, a case where a service is provided in which a lottery is performed in connection with a specific event at a merchandise sales store to provide a prize, and the number of prizes is determined. It is used to systematically determine the appearance of winning in the lottery, keep the number of winnings from fluctuating greatly even if the number of lottery participants fluctuates, manage the appearance of winning, and monitor the plan for premium inventory .
