[Overview of lottery system]
First, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the outline of the lottery that can be played by the lottery system in the present embodiment and the method of playing will be described. The method of implementing the lottery system will be described later. The lottery system in the present embodiment is installed in such a manner that the player can perform (play) the lottery at some facility such as a shop or an amusement facility.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a scene in which a player is playing a lottery by a lottery system. In the figure, four display devices D1 to D4 are shown. A coin mech C1 is installed in the vicinity of the display device D1. Further, a pipe P1 is installed above the display device D1. Similarly, with respect to the display devices D2 to D4, coin mechs C2 to C4 are installed in the vicinity thereof, and pipes P2 to P4 are installed above each of the display devices D2 to D4. Further, players U1 to U3 who play the lottery stand in front of the display surfaces of the display devices D1 to D3. The lottery can be played by one person or by multiple people at the same time. In the example of the figure, three players U1 to U3 are playing at the same time. Further, in the example of the figure, four display devices are installed, and up to four people can play the lottery at the same time using each display device.

The lottery by this lottery system can be participated in a group such as friends, family or acquaintances. The more people participate, the more likely it is that the prize will be won by lottery, or the more valuable prize will be won.

In order to play the lottery, for example, the player U1 stands in a position facing the display device D1 (an example of the display unit), and in order to pay the fee required for playing the lottery, the coin mech by cash or cashless payment means. Settlement is made via C1. After that, when the player U1 takes a predetermined pose toward the display device D1 (for example, raises both hands), a sensor (not shown) detects that the player U1 has taken a predetermined pose, and the player U1 is selected for the lottery. It is counted as a participating player. Players U2 and U3 standing in front of display devices D2 and D3 also perform the same operations as player U1 and are counted as players participating in the lottery.

The number of players is counted by an arbitrary method. For example, the number of participants specified at a predetermined time after the first detection of a participating player is determined as the final number of participants. Can be done. In addition, the number of participants can be determined when the number of participants reaches the maximum number of participants.

The players U1 to U3 can carry out the lottery by operating according to the navigation video and audio displayed and output to the display devices D1 to D3, respectively. Specifically, the user's movement is detected by the sensor, and the lottery system executes the lottery according to the detection result. For example, the player U1 moves both hands forward to store energy according to the navigation displayed on the display device D1. After that, the player U1 can start the lottery by raising both hands and throwing a ball toward the display device D1. The result of the lottery of the player U1 is displayed on the display device D1. As a result of the lottery, for example, the information of the prize won by the lottery or the fact that the lottery has not been won is displayed on the display device D1.

After the lottery result is displayed, the display device D1 displays an effect image showing that the capsule containing the winning prize is sent out via the pipe P1. The capsule may be actually sent out to the pipe P1, or the effect that the capsule seems to be sent out to the pipe P1 may be performed by making the pipe P1 emit light or the like. After that, the display device D1 displays an image showing the current location of the sent out capsule.

FIG. 2 shows an example of an image showing the current location of the sent out capsule. In this example, it is shown that the capsule is being delivered from the lower part of the pipe P1 toward the counter (“COUNTER”) shown at the upper part. Further, in this example, it is shown that three capsules have been sent out by the player U1 performing the lottery three times in a row.

After that, the player U1 receives the receipt output from the coin mech C1 and can receive the prize at the counter in exchange for the receipt. Like player U1, players U2 and U3 can play the lottery independently of other players and receive prizes.

The players U2 and U3 also have the same start timing as the lottery played by the player U1, but can independently play the lottery according to the navigation by the display devices D2 and D3.

The above description is an example of the outline of the lottery system and the method of playing the lottery, and various changes may be made. For example, the maximum number of players who can play the lottery at the same time is not limited to four. The maximum number of people may be two or three, or five or more.

[Functional configuration]
The functional configuration of the central server 10 and the lobby server 20 will be described with reference to FIG. For convenience of explanation, in the present embodiment, the device group including the central server 10 and the lobby server 20 is referred to as a server group 60. Each of the functional configurations described with reference to the figure may be included in either the central server 10 or the lobby server 20, or may be partially included in both. Further, as a modification, the server group 60 may be configured by one device or may be configured by three or more devices.

The server group 60 includes a database 110, a progress control unit 111, a specific unit 112, a setting unit 113, and a determination unit 114 as main functional configurations. These functional configurations are realized, for example, by the CPU of the server group 60 expanding the computer program stored in the storage unit or the like into a memory and executing it to control the operation of each configuration of the server group 60. ..

The database 110 stores various data such as data required for processing executed by the server group 60 and data generated or set by the processing. The database 110 stores, for example, control data necessary for the progress of the lottery carried out by the lottery system 1, data of benefits given according to the result of the lottery, data of winning probability of each privilege, and the like.

The progress control unit 111 controls the progress of the lottery carried out by the lottery system 1, and displays images (including information on benefits given as a result of the lottery) on the display devices D1, D2, D3, and D4 according to the progress. Display the output. The identification unit 112 specifies the number of players participating in the lottery according to the detection results of the sensors S1, S2, S3, and S4. The setting unit 113 sets the winning probability of each of the one or a plurality of benefits given by the lottery according to the number of people specified by the specific unit 112. The determination unit 114 determines the privilege to be given to each player based on the random value determined for each player and the winning probability of each of the set one or a plurality of benefits.

The processing by the progress control unit 111, the specific unit 112, and the setting unit 113 will be described in more detail below.

The progress control unit 111 controls the progress of the lottery executed by the lottery system 1 after the player who participates in the lottery is specified by the specific unit 112. Specifically, first, when the fee required for playing the lottery is paid to any of the billing devices 41, 42, 43, 44, the specific unit 112 is a display device corresponding to the paid billing device. Waits until a predetermined pose by a person located in front of the display unit of is detected. When the predetermined pose is detected by the sensors S1, S2, S3, or S4, the identification unit 112 identifies the number of players by counting up the number of players participating in the lottery according to the detection result. Further, the specific unit 112 determines that the player participates in the lottery by using the display device corresponding to the sensor that detects the pose.

For example, in the specific unit 112, the charge is paid to the charging device 41, and a person located at a predetermined distance in the front direction of the display unit of the display device D1 corresponding to the charging device 41 is in a predetermined pose. When detected by the sensor S1, it is determined that the player participates in the lottery using the display device D1. Similarly, when a fee is deposited in another billing device and a predetermined pose is detected by the corresponding sensor, the number of participants in the lottery is counted up.

Regarding the count-up of the number of people, the specific unit 112 starts the timer after determining the participation of the first player, and every time a predetermined detection is made by another sensor within a predetermined time, a new player is drawn. Judge to participate in. Further, when the detected number of players reaches the upper limit of the number of players who can play at the same time (for example, four), the specific unit 112 determines the number of players at the upper limit.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, not only the sensor detects a person but also the number of participating players is counted up when it is detected that the person is in a predetermined pose. As a result, it is possible to prevent a person or some object that has passed near the sensor and does not want to participate in the lottery from being erroneously counted as a participating player.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the above-mentioned predetermined pose detected by the sensor. In this example, a person raises both hands in front of the display unit of the display device D1. When the sensor S1 installed on the upper part of the display device D1 detects the pose by a person who exists at a predetermined distance in the front direction of the display unit of the display device D1, the specific unit 112 determines the player who participates in the lottery. Judging that, the number of participants in the lottery will be counted up.

If the sensor does not detect a predetermined pose by a person for a predetermined time or longer, the specific unit 112 may be controlled so as to relax the detection conditions. For example, it is assumed that the sensor S1 detects some object in the specific unit 112, but does not detect a predetermined pose by a person. At this time, if the specific unit 112 cannot detect a predetermined pose by a person for a predetermined time or more after detecting some object, the pose similar to the predetermined pose (that is, the degree of approximation to the predetermined pose is predetermined). When an object within the range) is detected, it may be determined that a predetermined pose has been detected.

The progress control unit 111 starts the lottery after the players participating in the lottery are determined, and among the display devices D1, D2, D3, and D4, the player displays an effect video indicating that the lottery is being carried out. It is controlled to display on the display device used and then display the result of the lottery. When a plurality of players participate in the lottery, the lottery of each player is carried out independently. The result of the lottery includes, for example, information on whether or not the lottery has been won, and information on the benefits given when the lottery is won.

The determination unit 114 performs a lottery by an arbitrary method based on the winning probability set by the setting unit 113 according to the number of players specified by the specific unit 112. For example, the determination unit 114 corresponds in advance to a random value and a privilege or "missing" (no privilege) to be given based on the winning probability set by the setting unit 113 according to the number of players participating in the lottery. I will attach it. The determination unit 114 outputs a random value for each player at the time of lottery, and determines a privilege or "missing" associated with each output random value as the result of the lottery of each player.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the winning probability set by the setting unit 113 according to the number of players (number of players) participating in the lottery. In this example, the probability of winning a special prize, which is a highly valuable privilege (a rarer privilege) among the winners, is set for each number of players. The data of the winning probability of the special prize for each set number of players is stored in the database 110. The winning probability setting method described with reference to FIG. 7 is only an example, and the winning probability may be set by another method.

The setting unit 113 may set the winning probability so that the larger the number of players specified by the specific unit 112, the higher the winning probability of the high-value privilege. For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the setting unit 113 may be set so that the special prize probability is higher when the number of players is two than when the number of players is one.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the probability that the privilege is given to the player is set according to the number of participating players specified by the specific unit 112. Therefore, the player can get a different experience of the lottery depending on the number of participants, and as a result, he / she can play a more interesting lottery. In this embodiment, in particular, the setting unit 113 can set the winning probability so that the larger the number of players specified by the specific unit 112, the higher the winning probability of the high-value privilege. In this case, the larger the number of participants, the higher the probability that a player will be given a high-value privilege, and the more participants can share their feelings about the result of the lottery. As a result, the player can play a more entertaining lottery.

Further, the setting unit 113 may be set so as to increase the types of benefits that can be given as a result of the lottery as the number of players specified by the specific unit 112 increases.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a setting in which the number of types of benefits that can be given as a result of the lottery increases as the number of players increases. In the figure, for example, when the number of players is one, the privilege that can be given as a result of the lottery is one type of "drink discount coupon", whereas when the number of players is two, the lottery The benefits that can be given as a result of the above are "drink discount coupon" and "drink size up". That is, as the number of players increases, there are many types of benefits that can be given as a result of the lottery. The data set for the relationship between the number of players and the types of benefits that can be given as a result of the lottery is stored in the database 110.

Further, the progress control unit 111 can change the progress of the lottery according to the number of players participating in the lottery. For example, the progress control unit 111 displays the video for the progress of the lottery, which is previously associated with the number of people specified by the specific unit 112, on at least one of the display devices D1, D2, D3, and D4. You may control it. Further, the progress control unit 111 may control the progress of the lottery so as to shorten the time required for the lottery per player as the number of specified players increases. For example, in the progress control unit 111, the time from the start of the lottery to the end of the lottery is longer when there are three players participating in the lottery than when there are two players participating in the lottery. The progress of the lottery may be controlled so as to be shortened.

[Processing flow]
An example of a series of processes for the lottery executed by the lottery system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the details of each processing step have already been described, the description thereof will be omitted here.

In step S11, when any of the billing devices 41, 42, 43, 44 receives the payment of the fee required for the play of the lottery, in step S12, the one or more billing devices that received the payment receive the payment. Is notified to the corresponding sensor among the sensors S1, S2, S3, and S4. For example, when the billing device 41 accepts the payment, the billing device 41 notifies the sensor S1 that the payment has been accepted. Although any of the management devices 31, 32, 33, and 34 mediates communication between the billing device and the sensor, the reference to the management devices 31, 32, 33, and 34 is omitted for the sake of simplicity. References to the management devices 31, 32, 33, and 34 for other processes described below will be omitted for the same purpose.

In S13, one or more billing devices that have received the payment notify the corresponding display device that the payment has been received. In step S14, of the display devices D1, D2, D3, and D4, the display device notified by the billing device outputs and displays a video for the effect after payment and before the start of the lottery.

In step S15, the sensor that has received the notification of step S12 among the sensors S1, S2, S3, and S4 stands by in a state in which a predetermined pose by a person located in front of the display unit of the corresponding display device can be detected. .. When the predetermined pose is detected, in step S16, the sensor that has detected the predetermined pose notifies the lobby server 20 that the predetermined pose has been detected.

Next, in step S17, each time the lobby server 20 receives a notification from the sensor, it determines that a new player will participate in the lottery, and counts up the number of participating players in the lottery. The lobby server 20 starts the timer when it receives the notification about the participation of the first player. The lobby server 20 counts up the number of participating players each time it receives a notification from another sensor within a predetermined time from the start of the timer.

In step S18, the lobby server 20 determines the number of participants as the number of participants when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the timer. Alternatively, the lobby server 20 determines the number of players at the upper limit when the count of the number of players reaches the upper limit of the number of players who can play at the same time (for example, four).

In step S19, the lobby server 20 notifies the central server 10 of the confirmed number of players. In step S20, the central server 10 sets the winning probability of each of the one or a plurality of benefits given by the lottery according to the number of players who have received the notification.

In step S21, the central server 10 executes a lottery for each player based on the random value determined for each player and the winning probability of each of the set one or a plurality of benefits. In step S22, the central server 10 transmits the information on whether or not the lottery for each player has been won and the information on the privilege given when the lottery has been won to the display device used by the corresponding player as the lottery result information. ..

In step S23, the display device that has received the lottery result information among the display devices D1, D2, D3, and D4 displays the received lottery result information. As the information of the lottery result, for example, the information of the prize given by winning the lottery or the fact that the lottery has not been won is displayed on the display device.

In step S24, the central server 10 further transmits a print instruction together with the lottery result information to the printer corresponding to the lottery result among the printers 51, 52, 53, 54. In step S25, the printer that has received the print instruction prints the received lottery result on a sheet and outputs it.

The player can go to a predetermined place (for example, reception) and receive the prize in exchange for the printed matter (receipt) on which the information of the prize given by winning the lottery is printed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the probability that the privilege is given to the player is set according to the number of participating players.
