[First Embodiment]
First, the configuration of the voting terminal of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a voting terminal according to the first embodiment.

  The voting terminal 1 is a terminal used for issuing voting tickets for public competitions. Public competitions include horse racing, boat racing, bicycle racing, and auto racing. Hereinafter, an example of horse racing will be described as a public competition. The voting terminal 1 is a terminal that accepts a voting card 10 and issues a voting ticket based on voting information entered on the voting card 10. The voting card 10 is a card for entering voting information. The voting card 10 is, for example, in the form of a mark sheet, and information such as voting information is entered by the mark.

The voting terminal 1 includes an acquisition unit 2, a detection unit 3, a generation unit 4, and a ticket issuing unit 5. The acquisition unit 2 acquires voting information from the voting card 10.
The detection unit 3 detects a voting unit from which the voting target cannot be specified from the acquired voting information. The voting unit is a unit that can be voted by specifying a voting target. The voting unit is a unit in which odds are set, for example. The voting unit is configured to include voting parameters used for specifying voting objects such as the date of the event, the venue, the race number, the type, the group number, and the voting amount. The detecting unit 3 detects a voting unit that cannot identify a voting target when there is a shortage of information, a large amount of information, or an information error (injustice) in the voting parameters constituting the voting unit. When a voting unit that cannot identify a voting target is detected from the voting information, the voting terminal 1 cannot issue a voting ticket based on the voting information.

  The production | generation part 4 produces | generates the correction vote information correct | amended into the voting unit which can identify a vote object based on the preset conditions. The corrected voting information is information obtained by correcting the voting information so that all voting units of the voting information can identify the voting target. The preset condition is a voting unit correction rule. For example, the generation unit 4 generates a correction candidate for an illegal voting parameter (hereinafter referred to as an illegal parameter) for each voting unit based on a preset condition, and corrects (replaces) the incorrect parameter with the correction candidate for correction. Generate voting information. The fraud parameter is a voting parameter having a shortage of information, an excessive amount of information, or an information error (illegal).

  For example, when the content of the fraud is insufficient in information (when the voting unit cannot identify the voting target due to lack of information in the voting parameter), the generation unit 4 supplements the information of the incorrect parameter and generates a correction candidate. To do. In addition, the generation unit 4 generates a correction candidate by deleting the information of the illegal parameter when the content of the illegality is excessive information (when the voting unit cannot identify the voting target due to the excessive information of the voting parameter). To do. In addition, the generation unit 4 corrects and corrects the incorrect parameter information error when the incorrect content is an information error (when the voting unit cannot identify the voting target due to an error in the voting parameter information). Generate candidates.

The ticket issuing unit 5 issues a voting ticket based on the corrected voting information.
Here, an operation of issuing a voting ticket using the voting card 10 including a voting unit whose voting target cannot be specified in the entered voting information will be described. The voting terminal 1 receives the voting card 10. The acquisition unit 2 acquires voting information from the voting card 10. The detection unit 3 detects a voting unit from which the voting target cannot be specified from the acquired voting information. The production | generation part 4 correct | amends the vote object to the voting unit which can specify a voting object based on the preset conditions, and produces | generates correction vote information. The ticket issuing unit 5 issues a voting ticket based on the corrected voting information.

  According to this, the voting terminal 1 can issue a voting ticket by correcting a voting unit in which a voting target of voting information cannot be specified. That is, the possibility that the voter (user) loses the voting opportunity by taking a correction time is reduced.

  In this way, the voting terminal 1 corrects the voting unit that cannot specify the voting target of the voting information so that the voting target can be specified and issues the voting ticket, thereby reducing the operation time per voter, Loss of voter's voting opportunities can be deterred. Moreover, the increase in terminal occupation time accompanying the correction of the voting card 10 by the voter and the return of the voting card 10 to the voter can be suppressed, and the decrease in the voting opportunities of other voters can be suppressed.

Therefore, the voting terminal 1 can contribute to the improvement of sales of voting tickets.

Next, functional blocks of the voting terminal of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the voting terminal according to the second embodiment.
The voting terminal 30 includes an acquisition unit 31, a detection unit 32, an unauthorized parameter specification unit 33, a correction candidate generation unit 34, a correction vote information generation unit 35, a ticketing control unit 36, a storage unit 37, and a communication unit. 38.

The acquisition unit 31 acquires the voting information entered on the voting card via the voting card reading unit 301a.
The detection unit 32 detects a voting unit for which the voting target cannot be specified from the voting information acquired by the acquisition unit 31. The detection unit 32 specifies a voting target when the voting parameters constituting the voting unit include insufficient information, excessive information, or incorrect information (for example, a horse number that does not run is included in the set number). Detect as a voting unit that can not. When a voting unit that cannot specify a voting target is detected from the voting information, the voting terminal 30 cannot issue a voting ticket based on the voting information.

  The illegal parameter specifying unit 33 specifies an illegal voting parameter (hereinafter referred to as an illegal parameter) from the voting unit in which the detected voting target cannot be specified. The fraud parameter is a voting parameter having a shortage of information, an excessive amount of information, or an information error (illegal). The illegal parameter specifying unit 33 specifies an illegal parameter and specifies illegal contents.

The correction candidate generation unit 34 generates correction candidates for invalid parameters. The correction candidate generation unit 34 corrects the illegal parameter and generates a correction candidate.
The correction candidate generation unit 34 generates a correction candidate by supplementing the information of the incorrect parameter when the incorrect content is insufficient information. Moreover, the correction candidate production | generation part 34 deletes the information of an illegal parameter, and produces | generates a correction candidate, when the content of fraud is excessive of information. In addition, the correction candidate generation unit 34 corrects the error in the information of the incorrect parameter and generates a correction candidate when the incorrect content is an information error.

  For example, when the race number is not designated, the correction candidate generation unit 34 generates a correction candidate by supplementing with the race number (can be voted) before the voting deadline. In addition, when a plurality of race numbers are specified (for example, the second race and the fourth race are specified), the correction candidate generation unit 34 generates correction candidates by cutting the specified race numbers (the second race is selected as the second race). 1 correction candidate and 4th race are generated as second correction candidates). If there is no race with the designated race number, the correction candidate generation unit 34 corrects the race number of the existing race and generates a correction candidate.

  The corrected voting information generation unit 35 corrects (replaces) voting unit invalid parameters for which voting targets cannot be specified with correction candidates, and generates corrected voting information. The corrected voting information is information obtained by correcting the voting information (invalid parameter of the voting unit that cannot specify the voting target included in the voting information) so that all voting units of the voting information can specify the voting target.

  When the correction candidate generation unit 34 generates a plurality of correction candidates, the correction vote information generation unit 35 determines one correction candidate to be used for correction based on a predetermined determination criterion, and sets an invalid parameter for each vote. Correction voting information corrected (replaced) with the determined correction candidate is generated. For example, the correction vote information generation unit 35 determines correction candidates used for correction based on different determination criteria for each vote parameter.

  For example, when there is an irregularity in the voting unit race number, the correction voting information generation unit 35 determines a correction candidate to be used for correction from a plurality of correction candidates based on the time margin (time until the race voting deadline). .

  Specifically, the amended voting information generation unit 35 uses the race number with the shortest time for voting deadline among the race numbers generated as amendment candidates when the voting unit race number is invalid. Candidate.

  In general, when a race number is corrected to a long time until the voting deadline, there is a high possibility that a voting ticket will be issued before the voting deadline, even if it takes time for the correction. On the other hand, when correcting to a race number with a short time until the voting deadline, voting tickets may not be issued before the voting deadline if time is required for the correction.

  Therefore, when the voting unit race number is invalid, the corrected voting information generation unit 35 makes the vote candidate's loss of voting opportunity by using a race number with a short time until the voting deadline as a correction candidate. Can be suppressed.

  The corrected voting information generation unit 35 calculates a re-voting time required for the user to re-vote based on the number of corrections and the operating status of the voting terminal, and the time until the voting deadline is shorter than the re-voting time. You may make it determine the correction candidate used for correction out of a race.

  If the race number for each voting unit is invalid, the corrected voting information generation unit 35 may determine a correction candidate used for correcting the race number from a plurality of correction candidates based on the number of votes for each voting unit. . For example, the corrected voting information generation unit 35 corrects the race number that has been voted by many voting units based on the number of votes for each race based on the number of votes for each voting unit (race attention). To be used as a correction candidate.

  In general, the more a race that is attracting attention (the number of votes for each voting unit) is, the higher the possibility that a voter will purchase a voting ticket. Therefore, the correction vote information generation unit 35 is likely to be able to correct the race number according to the voter's intention by selecting a race number having a high degree of attention based on the attention degree of the race as a correction candidate to be used for correction. Become.

  The corrected voting information generation unit 35 determines the race number of the race in which the number of teams designated in the voting unit is voted most based on the number of votes for each team number based on the number of votes for each voting unit. The correction candidate used for correction may be determined.

  In addition, when the voting unit number is invalid, the corrected voting information generation unit 35 determines a correction candidate to be used for correction from a plurality of correction candidates based on the prediction information, odds, and the number of votes for each voting unit. The odds, anticipation information, and the number of votes for each voting unit are determined according to the race subject to run. Accordingly, by determining correction candidates to be used for correction based on prediction information, odds, and the number of votes for each voting unit, the correction vote information generation unit 35 randomly determines correction candidates from a plurality of correction candidates. Rather, it can be modified to match the race.

  The correction vote information generation unit 35 presents some or all of a plurality of correction candidates to the voter via the display 305 or the like, and determines correction candidates to be used for correction based on the voter's selection. You can also. The incorrect parameter specifying unit 33, the correction candidate generation unit 34, and the correction vote information generation unit 35 are an embodiment of the generation unit 4 shown in FIG.

In addition, the said determination criteria are an example and are not restricted to this. For example, the correction vote information generation unit 35 may determine a correction candidate used for correction by combining a plurality of determination criteria.
The ticket issuing control unit 36 performs various controls of the voting ticket issuing process. The ticket issuing control unit 36 can use the race information acquired from the host computer 40 for the ticket issuing process as necessary.

  The memory | storage part 37 memorize | stores the various information (For example, detection reference information, race information, anticipation information, etc.) used for ticketing processing. Various information is input from the host computer 40 or an external terminal via the network 50. The prediction information will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

  The communication unit 38 exchanges information with the host computer 40 via the network 50. The communication unit 38 receives race information from the host computer 40 according to the ticketing control unit 36. The communication unit 38 transmits voting information to the host computer 40 in accordance with the ticketing control unit 36, and receives voting ticket issuance permission or banning permission from the voting information. In the following, description will be made using a case where the voting unit number is invalid.

Next, prediction information will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of prediction information according to the second embodiment.
The prediction information 37a is information used when determining a correction candidate to be used for correction by the correction vote information generation unit 35 from a plurality of correction candidates generated by the correction candidate generation unit 34 when the voting unit number is invalid. It is. The prediction information 37a is information regarding the prediction of one race. The storage unit 37 can also store a plurality of pieces of prediction information for one race.

  The forecast information 37a includes a forecaster, a forecast target venue, a forecast target race number, and a forecast. The anticipation person is a provider of the anticipation information 37a, and in the anticipation item, information that can specify the provider of the anticipation information 37a is set. Examples of the provider of the prediction information 37a include a horse racing information magazine, a predictor, and other voters.

  The predicted target venue is a venue that is the target of the prediction, and information that can identify the target venue that is the target of the prediction is set in the item of the target target venue. The prediction target race number is a race number to be predicted, and information that can identify the race number to be predicted is set in the item of the prediction target race number.

  The prediction is the expected degree (evaluation) of the race target that will run in the race of the target race number to be performed at the target venue. The prediction includes “◎”, “◯”, “▲”, “△”, and “×”. Note that “◎”, “○”, “▲”, “△”, “×” are only examples, and may be, for example, a favorite, a challenge, a large hole, etc. That's fine. “◎”, “◯”, “▲”, “Δ”, and “×” are information indicating the ranking of evaluation.

  “◎” is information indicating that the evaluation is No. 1, and information that can identify the race target (horse number) evaluated as No. 1 is set in the item “◎”. “◯” is information indicating that the evaluation is No. 2. In the item of “O”, information capable of specifying the race target (horse number) evaluated as No. 2 is set.

  “▲” is information indicating that the evaluation is No. 3. In the item of “▲”, information capable of specifying the race target (horse number) evaluated as No. 3 is set. “Δ” is information indicating that the evaluation is No. 4, and information that can identify the race target (horse number) evaluated as No. 4 is set in the item of “Δ”. “X” is information indicating that the evaluation is No. 5, and information capable of specifying the race target (horse number) evaluated as No. 5 is set in the item of “X”.

  For example, the anticipation information 37a is an anticipation of “1 race” to be performed at the venue “A2” by the anticipator “A1”, and the anticipator “A1” is No. 4, 2, 5, 6, 8 It shows that the race object is evaluated in the order of. Note that the prediction may not be an evaluation of Nos. 1 to 5. For example, the prediction may be an evaluation of all race targets.

  For example, the correction voting information generation unit 35 acquires the prediction information 36a from the storage unit 37, and calculates the priority for the generated correction candidates based on the evaluation (for example, weights each evaluation for priority) And a correction candidate having a high priority is set as a correction candidate used for correction.

  In this way, the correction vote information generation unit 35 determines a correction candidate to be used for correction based on the evaluation of the race target, so that it is possible to select a correction candidate to be used for correction at random (race (running race). A correction candidate corresponding to the target) can be determined as a correction candidate to be used for correction. The corrected vote information generation unit 35 can also acquire the prediction information from an external terminal or the host computer 40 instead of acquiring the prediction information from the storage unit 37.

  The correction candidate generation unit 34 can also use the prediction information 37a for generation of a correction candidate in which an illegal combination of voting unit numbers is corrected. For example, when the horse number constituting the set number of the voting unit is insufficient, the correction candidate generating unit 34 is the horse number (4, 2, 5, 6) that is highly evaluated based on the prediction information 37a. , No. 8) to generate correction candidates. When a correction candidate generated by supplementing with a highly evaluated race target has a priority calculated based on the evaluation, the priority becomes higher than that of a correction candidate generated by supplementing with a low evaluation race target. In other words, the correction candidate generation unit 34 can generate only the correction candidates that have a high possibility of being used for correction (higher priority) by generating correction candidates by supplementing with the horse number of the race target having a high evaluation. Thereby, the voting terminal 30 can shorten the generation time of the correction candidate and the determination time of the correction candidate used for the correction, and can shorten the time required to generate the correction vote information.

Prediction information is an example of evaluation of a race object. For example, a performance value (for example, victory, time, etc.) may be used instead of the prediction information as the evaluation of the competition object.
Next, the voting card will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a voting card according to the second embodiment.

Next, voting ticket issuing processing by the voting terminal 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the ticket issuing process according to the second embodiment.
The voting terminal 30 starts the ticket issuing process when the purchase price of the voting ticket is inserted from the bill insertion / discharge port 304 and the coin insertion / discharge port 302.

[Step S1] The ticket issuing control unit 36 acquires information on the inserted money amount via the banknote reflux unit 304a and the coin reflux unit 302a.
[Step S2] The ticketing control unit 36 controls the voting card insertion / discharge port 301 to accept the insertion of the voting card into the voting terminal 30.

[Step S <b> 3] The acquisition unit 31 acquires the voting information written on the voting card inserted into the voting terminal 30 via the voting card reading unit 350.
[Step S4] The detection unit 32 identifies a voting unit from the entry information constituting the voting information, and detects a voting unit from which the voting target cannot be identified among the identified voting units. Further, when the detecting unit 32 detects a voting unit that cannot specify a voting target from the voting information, the illegitimate parameter specifying unit 33 specifies an illegitimate parameter from the detected voting unit.

  [Step S5] The ticket issuing control unit 36 determines whether or not the detection unit 32 has detected a voting unit for which the voting target cannot be specified. The ticket issuing control unit 36 proceeds to step S6 when it is determined that the detection unit 32 has detected a voting unit whose voting target cannot be specified from the voting information, and determines that no voting unit whose voting target cannot be specified has been detected from the voting information. If so, the process proceeds to step S10.

  [Step S6] The ticket issuing control unit 36 displays an automatic correction confirmation screen on the display 305. The automatic correction confirmation screen is a screen for confirming with respect to a voter whether or not to perform automatic correction for each voting unit in which the voting terminal 30 cannot identify the voting target. When the operation instruction from the voter is input on the automatic correction confirmation screen, the ticket issuing control unit 36 proceeds to step S7.

Here, the automatic correction confirmation screen will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an automatic correction confirmation screen according to the second embodiment.
The automatic correction confirmation screen 500 is a screen that displays voting information including voting units for which voting targets cannot be specified. In the voting information displayed on the automatic correction confirmation screen 500, the voting unit number is an invalid parameter.

  The automatic correction confirmation screen 500 includes an operation guidance display unit 510, a race summary display unit 520, an input amount display unit 530, an estimated summary display unit 540, a total amount display unit 550, a delete button 560, 570, a cancel button 580, and an automatic correction button. 590 is comprised.

  The operation guidance display unit 510 is a display unit that displays the operation guidance to the voter.

The forecast summary display unit 540 includes formulas 541 “triple duplex”, a set number 542a “2-?-?”, A set number 542b “2-4-5”, and a voting amount 543a “1,000 yen. ”And the voting amount 543b“ 1,000 yen ”is displayed.

  The date “January 20, 2015”, the venue “A2”, the race number “1 race”, the formula 541 “triple”, the set number 542a “2-?-?” The voting amount 543a “1,000 yen” constitutes one voting unit (hereinafter referred to as a first voting unit). In addition, the date “January 20, 2015”, the venue “A2”, the race number “1 race”, the formula 541 “triple”, the set number 542b “2-4-5”, One voting unit (second voting unit) is composed of the voting amount 543b “1,000 yen”.

The first voting unit is a voting unit in which a voting target cannot be specified because an illegal parameter is included in the voting parameters constituting the first voting unit.
The set number 542a is an illegal parameter included in the first voting unit, and information (horse number) is insufficient. Since the combination number 542a is an invalid parameter, it is displayed so as to be distinguishable from the display of other voting parameters. For example, in the combination number 542a, a portion corresponding to the missing horse number “?-?” Is highlighted. By displaying the illegal parameter in such a manner that it can be distinguished from the display of other voting parameters, the voter can easily identify the illegal parameter to be corrected and the illegal content from the screen.

The total amount display unit 550 is a display unit that displays the total amount of votes. The total amount display unit 550 displays the total vote amount (2,000 yen).
The delete button 560 is an example of an operation instruction input unit. The delete button 560 is a button for inputting an instruction (deletion instruction) for deleting the first voting unit from the voting information to the voting terminal 30. When the ticket issuing control unit 36 receives the input of the delete button 560, the ticket issuing control unit 36 deletes the first voting unit from the voting information. When the first voting unit is deleted, the voting information can be issued because all the voting units can specify the voting target.

  The delete button 570 is an example of an operation instruction input unit. The delete button 570 is a button for inputting an instruction (deletion instruction) for deleting the second voting unit from the voting information to the voting terminal 30. When the ticket issuing control unit 36 receives the input of the delete button 570, the ticket issuing control unit 36 deletes the second voting unit from the voting information.

  The cancel button 580 is an example of an operation instruction input unit. The cancel button 580 is a button for inputting, to the voting terminal 30, an instruction to cancel the issuance of a voting ticket (stop instruction). When the ticket issuing control unit 36 receives an input from the cancel button 580, the ticket issuing control unit 36 cancels the issuance of the voting ticket and returns the voting card to the voter.

  The automatic correction button 590 is an example of an operation instruction input unit. The automatic correction button 590 is a button for inputting to the voting terminal 30 an instruction (automatic correction instruction) for automatically correcting an invalid parameter for each voting unit whose voting target cannot be specified. When the ticket issuing control unit 36 receives the input of the automatic correction button 590, the ticket issuing control unit 36 generates corrected voting information by correcting the invalid parameter (set number 542a) of the voting unit in which the voting target cannot be specified. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

  [Step S7] The ticketing control unit 36 determines whether or not the operation instruction input in step S6 is a deletion instruction. When the ticket issuing control unit 36 determines that the operation instruction input in step S6 is a deletion instruction, the process returns to step S4, and when it is determined that the operation instruction input in step S6 is not a deletion instruction, the process proceeds to step S8.

  [Step S8] The ticketing control unit 36 determines whether or not the operation instruction input in step S6 is an automatic correction instruction. When the ticket issuing control unit 36 determines that the operation instruction input in step S6 is an automatic correction instruction, the process proceeds to step S9, and it is determined that the operation instruction input in step S6 is not an automatic correction instruction (a stop instruction). If so, the process proceeds to step S16.

  [Step S9] The correction candidate generation unit 34 and the correction vote information generation unit 35 execute a correction vote information generation process. The correction candidate generation unit 34 generates correction candidates for invalid parameters in units of votes for which voting targets cannot be specified. The corrected voting information generation unit 35 corrects an invalid parameter for each voting unit for which a voting target cannot be specified with a correction candidate, and generates corrected voting information. The correction vote information generation process will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

  [Step S10] The ticketing control unit 36 displays a ticketing confirmation screen on the display 305. The ticket issuing control unit 36 proceeds to step S11 when an operation instruction from a voter is input on the ticket issuing confirmation screen.

Here, the ticket issue confirmation screen will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a ticket issue confirmation screen according to the second embodiment.
The ticket issuance confirmation screen 600 is a screen for confirming with respect to a voter whether or not to issue a betting ticket with the display content. The ticket issuance confirmation screen 600 displays, as display content, amended voting information modified so that the voting unit of the voting information displayed on the automatic correction confirmation screen 500 shown in FIG.

  The ticket issuance confirmation screen 600 includes an operation guidance display unit 610, a race summary display unit 620, an input amount display unit 630, an expected summary display unit 640, a total amount display unit 650, a delete button 660, 670, a cancel button 680, and a purchase button 690. It is comprised including. Here, differences from FIG. 8 will be described.

The operation guidance display unit 610 displays an operation guidance for issuing a ticket “Please press“ Purchase ”when issuing a ticket with the displayed contents”.
The set number 642a is a voting parameter (corrected incorrect parameter) obtained by correcting (replacement) the set number 542a (incorrect parameter) with a correction candidate. The set number 642a is displayed so as to be distinguishable from the display of other voting parameters. For example, in the set number 642a, portions corresponding to horse numbers “4” and “6” supplemented by automatic correction are highlighted. By highlighting the portions corresponding to the horse numbers “4” and “6” supplemented by automatic correction in this way and displaying the corrected incorrect parameters so that they can be distinguished from the display of other voting parameters, It is possible to easily identify a corrected invalid parameter corrected by automatic correction from the screen, and a corrected content.

  The purchase button 690 is an example of an operation instruction input unit. The purchase button 690 is a button for inputting a voting ticket issuance instruction (ticketing instruction) to the voting terminal 30 based on the display content displayed on the ticket issuance confirmation screen. When the ticket issuing control unit 36 receives the input of the purchase button 690, the ticket issuing control unit 36 notifies the host computer 40 of the display contents of the ticket issuing confirmation screen 600 as the ticket issuing contents. Returning to the flowchart of FIG.

[Step S11] The ticket issuing control unit 36 determines whether or not the operation instruction input in step S10 is a deletion instruction.
When the ticket issuing control unit 36 determines that the operation instruction input in step S10 is a deletion instruction, the process returns to step S10, and when it is determined that the operation instruction input in step S10 is not a deletion instruction, the process proceeds to step S12.

[Step S12] The ticket issuing control unit 36 determines whether or not the operation instruction input in step S10 is a ticket issuing instruction.
When the ticketing control unit 36 determines that the operation instruction input in step S10 is a ticketing instruction, the process proceeds to step S13, and when the operation instruction input in step S10 determines that it is not a ticketing instruction (is a cancellation instruction) Proceed to step S16.

  [Step S13] The ticketing control unit 36 notifies the host of the ticketing contents. The ticket issuing control unit 36 proceeds to step S14 when receiving a notification of permission or non-permission of the voting ticket based on the ticketing contents from the host.

  [Step S14] The ticketing control unit 36 determines whether or not a ticketing permission notification based on the ticketing contents has been received from the host. The ticket issuing control unit 36 proceeds to step S15 when it is determined that the notification of the ticketing permission for the voting ticket based on the ticketing content is received from the host, and the step S16 when it is determined that the notification of the ticketing permission for the voting ticket based on the ticketing content is received. Proceed.

[Step S15] The ticketing control unit 36 issues a voting ticket based on the contents of ticketing. When the ticket issuing control unit 36 issues a voting ticket, the ticket issuing control unit 36 proceeds to step S17.
[Step S16] The ticketing control unit 36 returns the voting card.

[Step S17] The ticket issuing control unit 36 ends the ticket issuing process after performing the settlement process.
According to this, the voting terminal 30 can issue a voting ticket by correcting the voting specification impossibility information of the voting information. That is, the possibility that the voter (user) loses the voting opportunity by taking a correction time is reduced.

  In this way, the voting terminal 30 corrects the voting unit in which the voting target of the voting information cannot be specified so that the voting target can be specified and issues the voting ticket, thereby reducing the operation time per voter. , Can reduce the loss of voter voting opportunities. Moreover, the increase in terminal occupation time accompanying the correction of the vote card by the voter and the return of the vote card to the voter can be suppressed, and the decrease in the voting opportunities of other voters can be suppressed.

Therefore, the voting terminal 30 can contribute to the improvement of sales of voting tickets.
The automatic correction instruction has been described as being received by the input from the user when the automatic correction confirmation screen is displayed, but the timing of receiving the automatic correction instruction is not limited to this.

  For example, an automatic correction instruction may be received in advance before detecting a voting unit whose voting target cannot be specified. Regardless of whether or not there is a voting unit for which the voting target of the voting information cannot be specified, the voting terminal 30 does not need to display the automatic correction confirmation screen in advance and can further reduce the processing time.

  Also, in general, when the date is not the same day or when there is time before the voting deadline for the race, the possibility of losing voting opportunities is low even if it takes time to correct the voting card. Therefore, even if the voting terminal 30 detects a voting unit for which the voting target cannot be specified, all the voting units included in the voting information have time allowance before the voting deadline (for example, the date of the event is In the case of a later date, the voting card may be returned. In this way, by returning the voting card when there is a time allowance until the voting deadline, the voting terminal 30 can suppress the loss of voting opportunities for other voters waiting for the turn.

Next, the correction vote information generation process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the correction vote information generation process according to the second embodiment.
The corrected voting information generation process is a process performed in step S9 of the ticketing process. The correction vote information generation process is executed by the correction candidate generation unit 34 and the correction vote information generation unit 35.

[Step S21] The correction candidate generating unit 34 generates correction candidates for invalid parameters in units of votes for which the detected voting target cannot be specified.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the voting unit type is “3 duplicates” and the combination number 542 a identified as an invalid parameter is “2-?-?”, The correction candidate generation unit 34 selects the horse number. To generate correction candidates. Specifically, the correction candidate generation unit 34 supplements “2-?-?” With a combination of two horse numbers excluding No. 2 when there are 10 race targets, and all 36 possible (all possible) Combination) correction candidates are generated.

  Note that the correction candidate generation unit 34 may generate a correction candidate that corrects the fraudulent parameter fraud, and may generate a correction candidate by supplementing only the horse number having a high evaluation based on the prediction information 37a.

  If the voting unit type is “3 Duplex” and the set number specified as an invalid parameter is “2-3, 4-7” (No. 3 and No. 4 are entered in the same horse number entry column, When the number of horse numbers is excessive), the correction candidate generation unit 34 generates correction candidates by cutting the horse numbers. The correction candidate generation unit 34 generates a correction candidate “2-3-7” and a correction candidate “2-4-7”.

[Step S22] The correction vote information generation unit 35 determines one correction candidate to be used for correction from the correction candidates generated by the correction candidate generation unit 34 based on the determination criterion.
Here, the correction vote information generation unit 35 determines one correction candidate to be used for correction from the 36 correction candidates of the combination number 542a “2-?-?” Generated by the correction candidate generation unit 34 described above. This will be described in detail using cases.

  For example, the correction candidate generation unit 34 selects a correction candidate “match candidate“ match number 542b ”included in the voting information from 36 correction candidates of the pair number 542a“ 2-?-? ”. 2-4-5 "is excluded.

  The correction vote information generation unit 35 calculates the priority of correction candidates based on the evaluation of each horse number in the prediction information 37a, and determines one correction candidate to be used for correction. The corrected voting information generation unit 35 receives 5 points for the highest-evaluated horse number, 4 points for the second highest-evaluated horse number, 3 points for the third highest-evaluated horse number, and 2 for the fourth highest-evaluated horse number. On the other hand, the number of each correction candidate is calculated and the priority is determined with the horse number having the fifth highest evaluation as one point.

  The correction vote information generation unit 35 calculates a score for each of the 35 correction candidates of the set number 542a “2-?-?”, And uses the correction candidate “2-4-6” with the highest score for correction. Candidate.

  [Step S23] The corrected voting information generation unit 35 corrects (replaces) an invalid parameter in a voting unit for which the voting target of the voting information cannot be specified with the determined correction candidate, and generates corrected voting information.

  It should be noted that, instead of correcting the invalid parameter of the voting unit, the parameter constituting the entry information including the voting unit for which the voting target cannot be specified may be corrected. For example, when the entry information is “triple unit” by formula, purchase method “box”, set number “2-3-?” (When the entry information specifies a plurality of voting units) A voting unit is identified. The group numbers of the six voting units identified at this time ("2-3-?", "2-?-3", "3-?-2", "3-2-?", "? -2-3 ”,“? -3-2 ”) are all illegal parameters.

Therefore, the voting terminal 30 corrects each of the six in the case of correcting the invalid parameter for each voting unit.
On the other hand, when correcting the parameters constituting the entry information, the voting terminal 30 corrects the combination number “2-3-?”. Therefore, the voting terminal 30 can reduce the number of correction processes and reduce the time required for the process by correcting the invalid parameter of the entry information including the voting unit for which the voting target cannot be specified.
