(Configuration of information processing apparatus 100)
Next, the configuration of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a receiving unit 110, a receiving unit 120, a storage unit 130, a display control unit 140, and a counting unit 150.

  The receiving unit 110 receives race information from the host server 400 and the information provider server 500. The receiving unit 110 associates the information on the running horse for each running horse based on the race information sent from the organizer server 400 and the race information sent from the information provider server 500, and the running horse information 131 And stored in the storage unit 130. In addition, the reception unit 110 stores information other than the running horse information 131, such as environmental information on the venue and a race start time, of the received race information in the storage unit 130 as the held race information 132. The held race information 132 may include information associated with the running horse (for example, (a) to (c) described above).

  Also, the receiving unit 110 receives a race result from the host server 400. The receiving unit 110 outputs the received race result to the counting unit 150.

  The receiving unit 110 may update each piece of information stored in the storage unit 130 each time it receives the updated race information from the host server 400 and the information provider server 500. For example, when the odds of a running horse is updated, the receiving unit 110 may update the odds of the running horse included in the running horse information 131.

  The receiving unit 120 receives an input operation performed by the user on the input unit 210. Specifically, the reception unit 120 receives, from each operation terminal 200, operation information, terminal information, and user information indicating a user who has performed an input operation indicated by the operation information.

  Then, when the received operation information is information indicating an operation of changing the display, the reception unit 120 outputs the operation information together with the terminal information to the display control unit 140.

  Also, in the case where the received operation information is information (selection information) indicating an operation to input an expectation, that is, at least one of the favorite horse, the opposing horse, the single hole, the row down, and the other horses If the information indicates the operation to be selected, the operation content is stored. Specifically, based on the received user information and the operation information, the reception unit 120 selects user information, information indicating a selected running horse, an expected sign, and the user selects a running horse. Are associated with the information on the screen displayed on the screen (selection reason described later). The expected mark is a mark indicating that the running horse is predicted by the user to be any of a favorite horse, an opposing horse, a single hole, a row, and other horses. In the following, the favorite horse is a double circle (◎), the opposing horse is a circle (○), a single hole is a black triangle (black triangle), a row is a triangle (連), and the other horses are stars (☆) Suppose that it represents. The description for the favorite horse, the opposing horse, the single hole, the row horse and the other horses will be omitted because they have generally used meanings. Then, the reception unit 120 stores the associated information (operation content) inside the reception unit 120. Note that the receiving unit 120 may store the associated information as the prediction information 133 in the storage unit 130. Furthermore, the reception unit 120 outputs the operation information to the display control unit 140 together with the terminal information.

  When the received operation information is information indicating an operation for determining (terminating) a prediction, the reception unit 120 stores the operation content stored inside the reception unit 120 in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133. Store. The details of the prediction information 133 stored in the storage unit 130 will be described later with reference to the drawings.

  In addition, when the time to purchase the voting ticket for the race for which the user is predicting comes, the reception unit 120 stops receiving the operation information related to the race, and the operation content stored in the reception unit 120 at this time is , And stored in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133. The reception unit 120 determines whether or not the current time is the purchase deadline time of the voting ticket with reference to the time information included in the held race information 132. Note that the determination as to whether or not the current time is the purchase deadline time of the voting ticket may be performed by the display control unit 140 described later, or may be performed by another member. The present embodiment will be described on the assumption that the receiving unit 120 determines whether or not the current time is the purchase ticket closing time.

  Display control unit 140 controls display of information on display unit 220 of operation terminal 200 and display unit 310 of display device 300. Specifically, display control unit 140 receives the operation information and the terminal information from reception unit 120. Then, the display control unit 140 refers to the traveling horse information 131 and the held race information 132 based on the received operation information, and causes the display unit 220 to display a screen according to the input operation indicated by the operation information. Are transmitted to the operation terminal 200. The operation terminal 200 can display a screen corresponding to the input operation on the display unit 220 based on the control signal.

  The screens displayed on the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 will be further described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. FIGS. 4 to 6 are diagrams for describing an example of a screen displayed on display unit 220 of operation terminal 200 according to the present embodiment. The screen layout in FIGS. 4 to 6 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  The screen shown in FIG. 4 includes an area GA indicating information on the environment of the venue and information on the held race, a display condition selection area GB, a running horse information display area GC, and an expected input area GD. The screen shown in FIG. 4 is one in which information on running horses is displayed in the order of horse numbers in the display condition selection area GB. In the present embodiment, the screen shown in FIG. 4 is set as the initial screen of the corresponding race (“11R” in the case of FIG. 4).

  The display control unit 140 refers to the held race information 132 of the storage unit 130 and causes the display unit 220 to display the area GA.

  In the running horse information display area GC, running horse display information (competitive object information) HI regarding the running horse is displayed based on a predetermined condition. In FIG. 4, the running horse display information HI is displayed in the order of horse numbers. Here, it is assumed that running horse display information regarding four running horses is displayed, but there may be any number of running horse display information. For example, on the leftmost side in the running horse information display area GC in FIG. 4, horse number “1”, the name of running horse “○○○○”, and odds of running horse “1. 6 ", jockey name" aaaa "and burden weight" 54.0 kg "are displayed. The display control unit 140 refers to the entry horse information 131 of the storage unit 130 and displays the entry horse display information HI. The running horse display information HI may include a picture or image of a running horse, and a picture or image of a jockey. When the user swipe left and right in the running horse information display area GC, the receiving unit 120 receives the operation information. Then, the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 220 to display a screen corresponding to the operation information.

In the display condition selection area GB, information indicating a condition (display condition) for displaying the running horse display information HI in the running horse information display area GC is displayed in a selectable manner. This condition may be, for example, one of (a) and (c) to (s) described above, or may be another condition. The other conditions may be, for example, the conditions shown in the following (A) to (D).
(A) Best time by distance,
(B) Results by distance (1st, 2nd, 3rd, other times by distance),
(C) Results by course (1 course, 2 courses, 3 runs, other times by course (place, grass, dirt, right turn or left turn) by course),
(D) Results for each field condition (for example, first, second, third, other number of times for heavy riding).

  For example, when “(B) Results by distance” is selected by the user as a display condition, the reception unit 120 receives operation information indicating that this condition is selected. Then, the display control unit 140 determines the display order of the running horse display information HI and the running horse display information HI to be displayed in the running horse information display area GC according to the operation information. Then, the display control unit 140 controls the display unit 220 such that the determined running horse display information HI is displayed in the running horse information display area GC.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 220 after the user selects a display condition in the display condition selection area GB of the screen of FIG. 4. Here, it is assumed that the user selects (B) as a display condition. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in the display condition selection area GB, the user is the information indicating “(B) Results by distance”, which are “distance” which is a major classification item, and minor classification items. Suppose that "1,000 m" is selected. The display control unit 140 refers to the running horse information 131, acquires the results of the race having a distance of 1000 m from the past results of each running horse, and sorts the running horses in order of the results. Then, the display control unit 140 displays the running horse display information HI in the running horse information display area GC in the sorted order. At this time, the display control unit 140 may display information indicating the sorting order in the running horse information display area GC. In addition, the display control unit 140 may display the same content as in FIG. 4 in the running horse display information HI, or may display information according to the conditions. For example, when the display condition is “(B) Results by distance”, the display control unit 140 may cause the running horse display information HI to display a list of past runs of running horses as shown in FIG. .

  Thus, when the display condition selected by the user is a condition that can be ranked, the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 220 to display the information on the running horses in the order in which the display conditions are arranged according to the selected condition. When there are a plurality of running horses in the same rank, the display control unit 140 may display the running horses in the rank in the order of the horse numbers or may display them according to other conditions.

  Further, the case where the display condition selected by the user is not a condition that can be ranked will be described. For example, when the display condition selected by the user is the name of a running horse, the display control unit 140 may display running horses in the order of the Japanese syllabary. In addition, when the condition selected by the user is the sex of a running horse, the display control unit 140 may display, for example, the order of “Orse”, “Rima”, and “Sirema”. In addition, when “gender” is selected as the large classification item and “牝” is selected as the small classification item, the display control unit 140 causes the running horse information display area GC to display only running horses that meet the conditions. May be The display order at this time may be a horse number or a horse age order.

  Thus, the display control unit 140 can cause the display unit 220 to display the running horse display information HI based on the display condition. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can provide the user with information on a running horse that satisfies the conditions desired by the user.

  Then, when the user inputs an expectation from the state of FIG. 5, the reception unit 120 receives the input operation information. Then, since the received operation information is information indicating an operation of inputting a prediction, the reception unit 120 stores the content of the operation. Then, in accordance with the operation information, the display control unit 140 controls the display unit 220 such that the user's expectation is displayed in the expectation input area GD.

  For example, it is assumed that the user selects a running horse whose horse number is “1” (a running horse whose name is xxx) from the state of FIG. 5 as the favorite horse. An example of the screen at this time is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, in the column of ◎ in the expected input area GD, the horse number “1” of the running horse selected by the user is displayed.

  Here, the user has selected a running horse from the screen of FIG. The screen of FIG. 5 is a screen in the case where the display condition selected by the user is “the result by distance”. If the user selects a running horse based on this screen, it is highly likely that the running horse has been selected based on the results by distance. Therefore, the reception unit 120 considers that the user has selected (expected) the running horse of the horse number “1” based on the “performance by distance”. Then, the reception unit 120 receives the user information of the user who made the prediction, the prediction mark (in this case, ◎), the information (for example, the horse number) indicating the selected running horse, and the selection reason (“by distance” Associate with the grade ") and save it.

  Then, when the user presses the confirmation button B shown in FIG. 6 or the purchase deadline time comes, the reception unit 120 stores the stored operation content in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133. The timing at which the receiving unit 120 stores the operation content stored in the storage unit 130 is not limited to this, and may be every time the user inputs a forecast.

  Note that the method by which the user selects a running horse is not particularly limited. For example, the user may input a forecast by selecting a forecast mark displayed in each running horse information in the running horse information display area GC. Further, the user may input the forecast by dragging each running horse information in the running horse information display area GC into any frame of the forecast mark in the forecast input area GD.

  In addition, the display control unit 140 may control the display unit 220 so that a screen indicating that effect is displayed when the purchase deadline time comes.

  The storage unit 130 stores running horse information 131, held race information 132, and prediction information 133. The storage unit 130 may be built in the information processing apparatus 100, or may be realized by a storage device separate from the information processing apparatus 100.

  FIG. 7 illustrates an example of the prediction information 133 stored in the storage unit 130. In FIG. 7, it is assumed that users who can view the information processing apparatus 300 are users A to D, and the four users belong to one group. The prediction information 133 includes, on a group basis, information on a prediction for each user. As shown in FIG. 7, as the prediction information of the user A, a prediction mark “◎”, a horse number “1”, and a selection reason 1 “score according to distance” are stored. As described above, the prediction information 133 includes the selected horse as a result of the user predicting the winning horse for the race and the predicted result (selection reason). In addition, the row of “selection reason 2” in FIG. 7 will be described later. Similarly, predicted information of the user B, the user C and the user D is also stored. As described above, the prediction information 133 of the storage unit 130 stores, for each race, prediction information of all users (four people in the present embodiment) who can vote for the race using the operation terminal 200.

  The counting unit 150 receives the race result from the receiving unit 110. Also, the counting unit 150 acquires the prediction information 133 from the storage unit 130. Then, the counting unit 150 confirms whether or not the arrival horse is included in the prediction information 133. Then, if the entering horse included in the prediction information 133 is an arrival horse, the counting unit 150 extracts the selection reason associated with the arrival horse. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the arrival horse is a running horse from 1st to 3rd, but may be only 1st, may be up to 5th, and so on. It is also good. Then, the counting unit 150 counts the number of each selection reason, and specifies a predetermined number of selection reasons in order from the selection reason having a large number.

  For example, it is assumed that one running horse with horse number "1", two running horses with horse number "3", and three running horses with horse number "8". In FIG. 7, the user A is a running horse with a horse number "1", a horse number "3" and a horse number "8", respectively, "a performance by distance", a "name of a horseman", and a "performance by a distance" It is selected because of the selection reason. In addition, the user B selects the running horse of the horse number “1” and the horse number “3” for the selection reason of “performance by distance” and “name of running horse”, respectively. Further, the user C selects the running horse of the horse number "3" and the horse number "8" for the selection reason of "name of running horse" and "horse weight", respectively. In addition, the user D selects a running horse of horse number "1", horse number "3" and horse number "8" as "performance by distance", "name of running horse", and "name of horseman", respectively. It is selected for the reason. As a result, when the numbers are totaled for each selection reason for arrival horses, 4 votes for "results according to distance", 3 votes for "name of running horse", 2 votes for "name of horseman", and "horseweight" It is one vote.

  Then, the aggregation unit 150 specifies a predetermined number of selection reasons to be displayed on the display unit 310 of the display device 300. In the present embodiment, the predetermined number is three. Therefore, the tabulating unit 150 specifies “a performance by distance”, “a name of a running horse”, and “a jockey name” as a reason for selecting an entering horse. Then, the counting unit 150 outputs, to the display control unit 140, the selected reason for selecting the entering horse as a counting result.

  Thereafter, the display control unit 140 receives the counting result from the counting unit 150. Then, the display control unit 140 controls the display unit 310 of the display device 300 to display information indicating the reason for selecting the arrival horse, based on the counting result. At this time, the display control unit 140 may control the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 to display information indicating the reason for selecting the arrival horse. FIG. 8 shows an example of the reason for selecting the entering horse displayed on the display unit 310. As shown in FIG.

  In part or all of the screen of the display unit 310, a reason for selecting an incoming horse as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed. The reason for selecting arrival horses may be in the order of votes, or may be in any other order. Further, the display control unit 140 may cause the display unit 310 to display so that the selection reason having a large number of votes is more prominent than the other selection reasons. Thus, the display method of the selection reason of the arrival horse is not particularly limited.

  When the arrivals horse is not included in the forecast information 133, the counting unit 150 may not output any information to the display control unit 140, and there is no user who predicted the arrivals horse. May be output. In this case, the display control unit 140 may not display anything at the place where the reason for selecting the arrival horse is displayed, and the display unit may display information indicating that there is no user who predicted the arrival horse. It may be displayed on 310 or other information may be displayed.

[Flow of Processing of Information Processing Device 100]
Next, the flow of processing of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of selection reason input processing in the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, first, the reception unit 120 confirms whether the current time is the purchase deadline time of the voting ticket (step S1), and when it is not the purchase deadline time (NO in step S1), the input operation Is checked (step S2). When the input operation has not been received (NO in step S2), the reception unit 120 performs the process of step S1.

  When the input operation is received (YES in step S2), the reception unit 120 confirms whether the received input operation is an operation for inputting a prediction (step S3). If the input operation is an operation of inputting an anticipation (YES in step S3), the receiving unit 120 stores the operation content (step S4). Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 220 to display a screen corresponding to the input operation (step S5). Note that step S4 and step S5 may be performed simultaneously or in the reverse order.

  After the end of step S5, the information processing apparatus 100 returns the process to step S1 and accepts an input operation until the purchase deadline time is reached.

  If the input operation is not an operation for inputting a prediction (NO in step S3), the receiving unit 120 confirms whether the input operation is the pressing of the enter button B (step S6). When the input operation is not pressing of the enter button B (NO in step S6), the receiving unit 120 outputs the operation content to the display control unit 140, and the display control unit 140 displays the screen according to the input operation. It is displayed on 220 (step S7). The operation which is not the input of an expectation and is not the pressing of the enter button B is the operation of changing the display such as swipe described above, the operation of inputting a display condition, or the like.

  After the end of step S5, the information processing apparatus 100 returns the process to step S1 and accepts an input operation until the purchase deadline time is reached.

  If the input operation is the pressing of determination button B (YES in step S6), or if the current time is the purchase deadline time of the voting ticket (YES in step S1), reception unit 120 performs the operation stored in step S4. The content is stored in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133 (step S8).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 100 ends the selection reason input process. Thus, the information processing apparatus 100 collects the user's prediction information from all the operation terminals 200 and stores the information in the storage unit 130.

  Next, tallying processing of the information processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of tallying processing in the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, the receiving unit 110 receives a race result from the host server 400 (step S11). Next, the counting unit 150 confirms whether or not the first to third arrival horses are included in the prediction information 133 (step S12). If the arrival horse is not included in the prediction information 133 (NO in step S12), the information processing apparatus 100 ends the process. If the arrival horse is included in the prediction information 133 (YES in step S12), the aggregation unit 150 extracts and aggregates the selection reasons associated with each arrival horse (step S13).

  Then, the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 310 to display the reason for selecting the arrival horse based on the counting result of the counting unit 150 (step S14).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 100 ends the tabulation process.

  Thereby, the users in the same group (in the present embodiment, a group consisting of the user A to the user D) can easily share, in the group, which point the user has made the prediction.

〔effect〕
As described above, the reception unit 120 of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment receives the operation information (selection information) including the running horse and the selection reason selected for the race, as the prediction information 133. , And stored in the storage unit 130. Then, the counting unit 150 counts the selection reasons associated with the running horses (arrival horses) included in the predetermined ranking after the end of the race among the running horses included in the prediction information 133. Thereafter, the display control unit 140 causes the display device 300 which can be viewed by a plurality of users who can vote for the race or the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 to display information based on the counting result. At this time, the selected running horse is a running horse expected to arrive.

  In this way, when a running horse predicted by each user arrives, for this race, all the users belonging to the same group confirm the predicted reason for the entering running horse by looking at display device 300. be able to. Therefore, the prediction of each user who belongs to the same group can be easily shared within the group. Therefore, according to the system 1 and the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, all users belonging to the group can enjoy public competition.

  Further, the selection reason displayed on the display unit 300 of the display device 300 or the operation terminal 200 is a predetermined number of selection reasons because there are a large number of selection reasons among the tabulated results of the selection reasons associated with the entering and departing running horse is there. In this way, it is possible to share the points that users belonging to the same group place importance on among the users.

  Further, when a running horse is selected from the running horse display information displayed based on the display condition, the receiving unit 120 receives the display condition as the selection reason for the running horse. As a result, the information processing apparatus 100 can acquire, as the selection reason, the point that the user places importance on when selecting a running horse, without having the user separately select it.

[Changing the selection reason]
In the above, when a running horse is selected from the running horse display information HI displayed based on the display condition, the configuration in which the display condition is the selection reason has been described, but the selection reason may be changed. The changing method will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a selection screen for selection reasons displayed on the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 according to the present embodiment.

  For example, when the user presses the enter button B shown in FIG. 6, the display control unit 140 causes the selection (change) screen of the selection reason shown in FIG. 11 to be displayed as the entire screen of the display unit 220 or a pop-up screen. The selection reason displayed on this screen may be at least any of the information indicating each of (a), (c) to (s), and (A) to (D) described above.

  When the reason for selection at the time of forecasting is “horseweight”, the display unit 220 displays the selection reason “horseweight” in advance in the selection screen of the selection reason shown in FIG. It may be done. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, when the user further selects the burden amount and presses the "decision" button, the reason for selecting the target running horse becomes two, "horse weight" and "burden amount". Thus, in the prediction information 133, for example, the added selection reason "amount of burden" is added to the column of "selection reason 2" in the row of the user C's circle in FIG. Note that the display timing of the selection reason selection screen may be before the pressing of the confirmation button B.

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 100 can display a screen for adding and changing a selection reason on the operation terminal 200. This allows the user to easily add and change the reason for selection of predictions.

[Another Example of Counting Unit 150]
In the present embodiment, it has been described that the tabulating unit 150 tabulates the selection reason, but the tabulating unit 150 may perform the tabulation process by weighting the selection reason. For example, the counting unit 150 may assign a weight according to the order to the selection reason. For example, the counting unit 150 may assign a greater weight to the first-place running horse than the third-place running horse. Then, the counting unit 150 may count the selection reasons given the weight. In this way, it is possible to share the reason for selecting the first running horse in the group.

  Further, the method of assigning weights is not limited to this, and for example, the aggregation unit 150 may assign weights in accordance with the expected mark.

Second Embodiment
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an information processing apparatus 101 instead of the above-described information processing apparatus 100. FIG. 12 is a functional block diagram showing an example of functional configurations of the information processing device 101, the operation terminal 200, and the display device 300 of the system 1 according to the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as the members included in the drawings described in the first embodiment described above are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As illustrated in FIG. 12, the information processing apparatus 101 includes a receiving unit 110, a receiving unit 121, a display control unit 141, a counting unit 151, a storage unit 160, and a transmitting unit 190. The storage unit 160 stores running horse information 131, held race information 132, and purchase information 134.

  Similar to the display control unit 140, the display control unit 141 controls the display of information on the display unit 220 of the operation terminal 200 and the display unit 310 of the display device 300. In addition to the screen that the display control unit 140 causes the display unit 220 to display, the display control unit 141 further displays a voting ticket purchase screen. The voting ticket purchase screen may be any screen, and may be an existing voting ticket purchase screen.

  Further, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 220 to display a selection screen on which the reason for selecting the number included in the betting ticket purchased by the user can be input. Generally, when purchasing a voting ticket, specify and purchase a horse number or a box number. This horse number is one-to-one associated with the running horse. The box number is associated with one or more running horses. Therefore, it can be said that the selection reason for selecting the number included in the voting ticket is the selection reason for selecting the running horse associated with this number.

  The selection screen may be displayed on the entire screen, or may be displayed in a pop-up on the purchase screen. The selection screen is, for example, the same screen as FIG. 11 described above, but the contents and form of the screen are not particularly limited.

  Similar to the reception unit 120 described above, the reception unit 121 receives, as an input operation performed by the user on the input unit 210, an operation for changing a display, an operation for inputting a forecast, and an operation for determining a forecast. Furthermore, the reception unit 121 receives an operation of purchasing a voting ticket and an operation of inputting a selection reason of a number included in the purchased voting ticket. In the following, different from the reception unit 120, the received operation information is information indicating an operation for determining an expectation, information indicating an operation for purchasing a voting ticket, and selection of a number included in the purchased voting ticket The case of the information which shows the operation which inputs a reason is demonstrated.

  When the received operation information is information indicating an operation for fixing a forecast, the receiving unit 121 outputs a notification indicating that the forecast has been fixed to the display control unit 141. Thereby, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 220 to display the above-described purchase screen for the voting ticket.

  When the received operation information is information indicating an operation of purchasing a voting ticket, the receiving unit 121 specifies information of the purchased voting ticket based on the operation information. Then, the reception unit 121 outputs the information (purchase data) of the purchased voting ticket to the transmission unit 190. In the present embodiment, the operation of purchasing a voting ticket will be described as, for example, pressing of a purchase button arranged on the purchase screen.

  Further, in the case where the received operation information is an information indicating an operation for inputting a selection reason of a number included in the purchased voting ticket, the reception unit 121 stores the operation content. Specifically, based on the received user information and the operation information, the reception unit 121 receives the user information, the information indicating the purchased voting ticket, and the selected number included in the voting ticket. Associate with the selection reason. The reception unit 121 stores the associated information as purchase information 134 in the storage unit 130.

  Here, FIG. 13 illustrates an example of the purchase information 134 stored in the storage unit 130. As shown in FIG. 13, the purchase information 134 includes a user name, information indicating a voting ticket (type of voting ticket, number), and a selection reason. The information included in the purchase information 134 is not limited to this.

  The selection reason may include each selection reason of the running horse included in the voting ticket. For example, in FIG. 13, the user A has purchased a voting ticket of “1-2” by horse racing. Then, the selection reason includes the selection reason in which the running horse of the horse number “1” and the running horse of the horse number “2” are selected. The selection reason is not limited to this. For each voting ticket, the selection reason may be included in which a set of running horses included in the voting ticket is selected (purchased). In the case of the above example, the selection reason may include the selection reason of selecting “1-2”. Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, when a voting ticket of “1-4” is purchased by a horseman, the selection reason for selecting a running horse (a running horse with horse number “1”) described on the left side "Results by distance" is included in the row for selection reason 1, and the selection reason ("lineage") for selecting the listed running horse (a horse with horse number "4") is next to the row for selection reason 2 It may be included.

  In addition, when the running horse indicated by the horse number included in the purchased voting ticket is the same as the running horse selected at the time of forecasting, the reason for selection at the time of forecasting is the same when purchasing. It may be saved as a selection reason. For example, if the reason for selection at the time of forecasting is "horse weight", even if the selection reason "horse weight" is selected in advance on the selection screen shown in FIG. Good. Then, when the user adds a selection reason, the added selection reason is added to any column of the selection reasons in FIG. When the user changes the selection reason, the contents of the selection reason in FIG. 13 are updated.

  The transmission unit 190 receives purchase data from the reception unit 121, and transmits the purchase data to a server (for example, the sponsor server 400) that processes purchase of a voting ticket.

  The counting unit 151 receives the race result from the receiving unit 110. Also, the counting unit 151 acquires the purchase information 134 from the storage unit 130. Then, the counting unit 151 checks whether or not the number associated with the arrival horse is included in the purchase information 134. If the number is included in the purchase information 134, the selection reason associated with the number is Extract. At this time, the counting unit 151 may extract only the selection reason of the number included in the hit voting ticket among the purchased voting tickets. Here, the hit ballot indicates a ballot for which a dividend is generated.

  In addition, when any of the purchased voting tickets includes a number associated with the arrival horse, the counting unit 151 may extract the reason for selecting the number. Then, the counting unit 151 counts the number of each selection reason, and specifies a predetermined number of selection reasons in order from the selection reason having a large number. The method of tabulation by the tabulating unit 151 is the same as that of the tabulating unit 150, so the description will be omitted.

[Flow of Processing of Information Processing Apparatus 101]
Next, the flow of processing of the information processing apparatus 101 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of selection reason input processing in the information processing apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 14, steps S1 to S7 are the same processes as steps S1 to S7 shown in FIG. When the current time is the purchase deadline time of the voting ticket (YES in step S1), the information processing apparatus 101 ends the selection reason input process.

  In the case of YES in step S6, that is, in the case where the input operation is the pressing of the determination button, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 220 to display a purchase screen (step S21).

  Then, the receiving unit 121 confirms whether or not an input operation indicating that the purchase button has been pressed has been received (step S22). The accepting unit 121 repeats this process until the purchase button is pressed. In addition, the reception unit 121 checks in parallel whether the current time is the deadline time of the voting ticket, and ends the selection reason input process when the purchasing ticket deadline time is reached. When the purchase button is pressed (YES in step S22), transmission unit 190 transmits the purchase data to the server that processes the purchase of the voting ticket (step S23).

  Then, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 220 to display a selection screen (step S24). The accepting unit 121 stores the selected selection reason as the purchase information 134 in the storage unit 130 (step S25).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 101 ends the selection reason input process. Thus, the information processing apparatus 101 collects information on purchase of a voting ticket from the operation terminal 200 operated by the user who has purchased the voting ticket, and stores the information in the storage unit 130.

  Although the selection screen has been described as being displayed after transmitting the purchase data, the selection screen may be displayed, and the purchase data may be transmitted after the user has selected the selection reason. Also, if the current time is before the predetermined time of the purchase deadline (for example, 5 minutes ago), the selection screen is displayed before transmission of the purchase data, and the current time is after the predetermined time of the purchase deadline (for example, The selection screen may be displayed after transmission of purchase data).

  Next, tallying processing of the information processing apparatus 101 will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of tallying processing in the information processing apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 15, first, the receiving unit 110 receives a race result from the host server 400 (step S11). Next, the counting unit 151 confirms whether the number associated with the first to third arrival horses is included in the purchase information 134 (step S31). If the above-described number is not included in the purchase information 134 (NO in step S31), the information processing apparatus 101 ends the process. If the number is included in the purchase information 134 (YES in step S31), the counting unit 151 extracts the selection reason associated with each number and counts the number (step S32).

  Then, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 310 to display the reason for selecting the arrival horse, based on the counting result of the counting unit 151 as in the first embodiment (step S14).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 101 ends the tabulation process.

〔effect〕
As described above, the information processing apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment selects the above-mentioned number for each race when a running horse associated with the number included in the purchased voting ticket arrives for each user. The selection reason can be easily shared with the group.

  The purchase information includes a competition target (horse number or slot number) included in the voting ticket purchased by the user and a selection reason for the competition target. Then, when the entering horse of the competition target (horse number or box number) is included in the predetermined order, the counting unit 151 counts the selection reason associated with the competition target.

  Thus, according to the information processing apparatus 101, the users in the same group (in the present embodiment, the group consisting of the user A to the user D) pay attention to which point is the number included in the purchased voting ticket ( It is possible to easily share within the group whether the horse number of the running horse or the frame number of the running horse is selected. Therefore, according to the information processing apparatus 101 according to the present embodiment, as in the information processing apparatus 100, all users belonging to the group can enjoy public competition.

  As in the counting unit 150, the counting unit 151 may weight the selection reason to perform the counting process. For example, the counting unit 151 may assign a weight according to the order to the selection reason. In this way, it is possible to share the reason for selecting the first running horse in the group.

Third Embodiment
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an information processing apparatus 102 in place of the information processing apparatus 100 or the information processing apparatus 101 described above. An information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the information processing apparatus 100 and the information processing apparatus 101 are combined.

  FIG. 16 is a functional block diagram showing an example of functional configurations of the information processing device 102, the operation terminal 200 and the display device 300 of the system 1 according to the present embodiment. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as the members included in the drawings described in the first and second embodiments described above are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As illustrated in FIG. 16, the information processing apparatus 102 includes a receiving unit 110, a receiving unit 122, a display control unit 142, a counting unit 152, a storage unit 170, and a transmitting unit 190. The storage unit 170 stores running horse information 131, held race information 132, forecast information 133, and purchase information 134.

  The reception unit 122 has a function of the reception unit 120 and a function of the reception unit 121. The display control unit 142 has a function of the display control unit 140 and a function of the display control unit 141. Further, the counting unit 152 has a function of the counting unit 150 and a function of the counting unit 151. Further, the aggregation unit 152 has a function of performing weighting. Note that this function will be described later.

[Flow of Processing of Information Processing Apparatus 102]
Next, the flow of processing of the information processing apparatus 102 will be described. FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are flowcharts showing an example of the flow of selection reason input processing in the information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 17, steps S1 to S8 are the same as steps S1 to S8 shown in FIG. If the current time is the purchase deadline time of the voting ticket (YES in step S1), the reception unit 122 stores the operation content stored in step S4 in the storage unit 130 as the prediction information 133 (step S41). This process is the same process as step S8. Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 102 ends the selection reason input process. After the end of step S8 in FIG. 17, the information processing apparatus 102 proceeds with the process to step S21 in FIG.

  Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 102 performs steps S21 to S25 of FIG. The processes of steps S21 to S25 are similar to the processes of steps S21 to S25 described with reference to FIG. Thus, the information processing apparatus 102 ends the selection reason input process.

  Next, tallying processing of the information processing apparatus 102 will be described. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of tallying processing in the information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 19, first, the receiving unit 110 receives a race result from the host server 400 (step S11). Next, the counting unit 152 confirms whether or not the first to third arrival horses are included in the prediction information 133 (step S12). If the arrival horse is not included in the prediction information 133 (NO in step S12), the information processing apparatus 102 ends the process. If the arrival horse is included in the prediction information 133 (YES in step S12), the counting unit 152 determines that the number (horse number or frame number) associated with the arrival horse included in the prediction information 133 is the purchase information 134. It is checked whether or not it is included in (step S51).

  When the number associated with the arrival horse included in the prediction information 133 is included in the purchase information 134 (YES in step S51), the counting unit 152 performs weighting. Specifically, the counting unit 152 assigns a weight to the selection reason associated with the number (step S52). This weight is given when the purchase information 134 includes the number associated with the arrival horse included in the prediction information 133. The weight may be changed according to the order of arrival and the expected mark, or may be changed depending on whether or not the voting ticket is hit.

  For example, it is assumed that one running horse with horse number "1", two running horses with horse number "3", and three running horses with horse number "8". At the time of inputting the forecast, the user A enters the running horses of the horse number "1", the horse number "3" and the horse number "8", respectively, "the results by distance," "the name of the horseman" and "the results by distance It is assumed that the user has selected because of the selection reason. Then, it is assumed that the user A has purchased a voting ticket including a running horse of the horse number “1”. At this time, it is assumed that the user A selects the running horse of the horse number “1” included in the voting ticket for the selection reason of “performance by distance”. At this time, the counting unit 152 weights the selection reason “result by distance” associated with the horse number “1” included in the voting ticket. For example, the aggregation unit 152 weights the "results by distance" so that they can be counted as two votes at the time of aggregation. The weighting method is not limited to this, and may be the same method as the aggregation unit 150 or the aggregation unit 151 described above.

  After completion of step S52, or if the purchase information 134 does not include the number associated with the entering horse included in the prediction information 133 (NO in step S51), the reason for selecting each entering horse is extracted and totaled (Step S53).

  Then, the display control unit 141 causes the display unit 310 to display the selection reason based on the counting result of the counting unit 152 as in the first embodiment (step S14).

  Thus, the information processing apparatus 102 ends the tabulation process.

  Thereby, according to the information processing apparatus 102, the user in the same group (in the present embodiment, a group consisting of the user A to the user D) has focused attention on which point the predicted running horse was selected and It is possible to easily share within the group whether the number included in the purchased voting ticket has been selected.

  As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 102 according to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the information processing apparatus 100 and the information processing apparatus 101 described above can be obtained.

Fourth Embodiment
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an information processing apparatus 103 instead of the information processing apparatus 100, the information processing apparatus 101, or the information processing apparatus 102 described above. The information processing apparatus 103 according to the present embodiment will be described with respect to the minimum configuration for solving the problems of the present invention.

  FIG. 20 is a functional block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 103 according to the present embodiment. An information processing apparatus 103 according to the present embodiment includes a receiving unit 123, a display control unit 143, and a counting unit 153.

  The reception unit 123 receives selection information including the competition object and the selection reason selected for the race. The accepting unit 123 accepts the selection information for each user. Then, the received selection information is output to the aggregation unit 153.

  The counting unit 153 receives the selection information from the receiving unit 123. Then, the aggregation unit 153 aggregates, among the competition objects included in the selection information, the selection reasons associated with the competition objects included within the predetermined ranking in the race after the end of the race. The aggregation unit 153 outputs the aggregation result to the display control unit 143.

  The display control unit 143 receives the counting result from the counting unit 153. Then, the display control unit 143 causes the information based on the counting result to be displayed on at least one display device that can be viewed by a plurality of users who can vote for the race. This display device may be a display device that can be viewed by all users, or a display device that can be viewed by one or more users.

  Thereby, the information processing apparatus 103 according to the present embodiment can share the reason for prediction in public competition among the groups, similarly to the information processing apparatus 100, the information processing apparatus 101, and the information processing apparatus 102 described above.

(About hardware configuration)
