Abstract

PURPOSE:To store a hit betting ticket by reading the betting information read by a betting ticket reading part to decides the hit or mishit of a betting ticket and transferring the produced copy betting ticket print data to a copy betting ticket print part to print the data and also to discard the betting ticket via a ticket discard processing part when the hit of the betting ticket is confirmed. CONSTITUTION:A control part 6 receives the betting information from a betting ticket reading part 3 and stores this information and also transmits it to a center computer. The center computer decides the propriety of the betting information as well as the hit/mishit of a betting ticket. If the hit is confirmed, this fact and a repay amount are sent back to a betting ticket repaying equipment. Thus the repaying equipment displays the hit and the repay amount and at the same time discards the betting ticket via a betting ticket discard processing part 2. When the ticket is discarded, the part 6 edits the copy betting ticket print data based on the betting information stored in a memory and the repay amount. A copy betting ticket print part 8 prints out a copy betting ticket based on the received data. Thus it is possible to satisfy a request of a customer to store the hit ticket.

8) for printing, and that the discarded ticket processing unit is configured to perform discarded ticket processing of voting tickets.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an improvement of a voting ticket refund machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in the process of refunding voting tickets, the refunded voting tickets are discarded by punching holes, etc., and then stored in a discarded ticket stacker, the customer is paid only the refund amount, and the voting ticket is discarded. I didn't return it.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, the company did not respond to one customer's request to keep a winning ticket for a race with a large payout.

The present invention was created in view of this point, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a voting ticket refund machine that can satisfy the demands of customers who wish to keep their winning voting tickets as a souvenir. The purpose is

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a diagram explaining the principle of the present invention. The voting ticket refund machine of the present invention includes a conveyance control section 4 that takes the voting ticket into the machine, and a voting ticket reading section 3 that reads the data written on the taken-in voting ticket.
, a control section 6, a discarded ticket processing section 2 that processes discarded voting tickets, and a duplicate voting ticket printing section 8, and the control section 6 reads the voting information read by the voting ticket reading section 3. , performs processing to determine whether the voting ticket is a hit or not, and if it is a hit, creates data for printing a duplicate voting ticket, and sends the created data for printing a duplicate voting ticket to the duplicate voting ticket printing unit (8). It is characterized in that it is configured so that the voting ticket is handed over and printed, and the discarded ticket processing unit 2 is also caused to perform discarded ticket processing of the voting ticket.

[Effect]

If the voting ticket entrusted to you by the customer is correct, the voting ticket will be discarded as before, and then a duplicate voting ticket will be issued in the newly installed duplicate voting ticket printing section 8, and the ticket will be refunded along with the refund. Pay the customer.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the voting ticket refund machine of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a waste ticket storage section, 2 is a waste ticket processing section, 3 is a voting ticket reading section, 4 is a conveyance control section, 5 is an interface section, 6 is a control section, 7 is a display operation section, and 8 is a reproduction section. Each voting ticket printing section is shown.

When the voting ticket is inserted through the insertion slot, the conveyance control unit 4 controls the motor and solenoids to take the voting ticket into the device. The voting ticket is conveyed to the voting ticket reading section 3. The voting ticket reading section 3' includes a magnetic reading section, OCR, etc., and reads voting information written on the voting ticket. The read voting information is sent to the control section 6.

The control unit 6 controls the entire device, and is composed of, for example, a microprocessor. When the control section 6 receives voting information from the voting ticket reading section 3, it stores it in its internal memory and transmits it to the center computer via the interface section 5. The center computer determines the validity of voting information and whether it is a hit or miss. If it is a hit, a hit notification and the refund amount are sent back to the voting ticket refund machine, and if it is a hit, a hit notification is sent back.

When the voting ticket refund machine receives the winning notification and the refund amount, it displays the winning result and the payment amount on the display operation section 7, and also discards the voting ticket in the discarded ticket processing section 2 (cuts holes in the voting ticket). processing such as opening the ticket and erasing the magnetic data), and stores it in the waste ticket storage section 1. When the discarded ticket processing is completed, the control unit 6 edits data for printing a duplicate voting ticket from the voting information and the refund amount in the memory, and sends it to the duplicate voting ticket printing unit 8.

The duplicate voting ticket printing unit 8 prints and issues a duplicate voting ticket based on the sent data. The customer is paid the duplicate voting ticket and the refund amount, and the refund process is completed.

In the case of a miss, a miss is displayed, the voting ticket is ejected to the outlet, and the refund process is completed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an operation flowchart of the voting refund machine of the present invention.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of printing a voting ticket, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of printing a duplicate voting ticket.

Duplicate voting tickets include the date and venue name of the event, which are necessary information for customers among the information listed on the regular voting ticket.

It prints the race, winning number by formula, deposit amount, winning mark to indicate winning, refund amount, etc., and does not print the voting ticket management information necessary for refunding to prevent re-refunds. .
