Abstract

PURPOSE:To project auction information on a screen provided in an auction place with a projecting device by generating an image by means of a data processing and executing the change over with the image of a sample, etc., which is image picked-up by means of a camera. CONSTITUTION:A signal from an auction information input part 1 is processed into image data by a data processing part 2, synthesized with the image, etc., from the camera 3 by an auctioneer terminal equipment 4 and projected on the screen 6 in the auction place with a projecting display part 5. A purchaser ID, etc., is registered by a purchaser terminal equipment 7. Thus, the signal inputted from the above purchaser terminal equipment is recorded in the area of the above ID of a computer device 9 so as to be processed. The purchaser inputs purchasing by the purchaser terminal equipment while viewing the sample image and the information image on the screen. The data is processed in the order of a purchasing input by the computer device and transmitted to the auctioneer terminal equipment so that a selling/purchasing processing is executed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a bid system according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of essential parts of an embodiment of a bid system according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a bid information input unit, which is provided for each bidder and inputs bid information. A data processing unit 2 generates required image data based on the information from the bid information input unit 1. A camera 3 images a sample of an auction item placed on a sample table or the like. A bidder terminal 4 processes a signal from the bid information input unit 1 and an image from the data processing unit 2 or the camera 3. 5 is a projector display section,
An image of bid information processed by the data processing unit 2 which is input via the bidder terminal 4 or an image by the camera 3 is projected on the screen 6. The auction information input section 1 to the screen 6 and the label printer 11 described later.
Is set as one set, and this set is provided in each lane (auction floor).

Reference numeral 7 denotes a purchaser terminal device, which is installed at each purchaser's seat and performs input operation for buying. Reference numeral 8 denotes a card reader, which is installed, for example, in the purchaser's terminal 7 and reads the ID (identification code preset for each purchaser) magnetically recorded on the card by the purchaser's card insertion operation. A computer device 9 processes data and the like from the buyer terminal device 7. A signal transmission network 10 connects the bidder terminal 4, the purchaser terminal 7, the computer device 9, etc., and transmits signals to each other. Reference numeral 11 denotes a label printer, which prints a label to be affixed to the item for sale based on the data from the bidder terminal 4 based on the establishment of the sale.

Next, the operation of the auction system according to the present invention will be described. When a plurality of lanes are provided to perform a plurality of bids in parallel, the bid information input unit 1, the data processing unit 2, the camera 3, the bidder terminal 4, the projector display unit 5, the screen 6, and the label printer. Set 11 in one set, and install this set in each lane. The auctioneer places the sample of the auction item on the required sample table,
The camera 3 captures an image of the auction information input unit 1 by operating it. Then, the auction information input unit 1 is operated to input information such as the producer, the product name, the grade, the number of units, the number of products, the place of origin, etc. of the auction item, the bid unit, the selling unit and the bid start price. These data are processed by the data processing unit 2 in a required format, and the generated image is combined with the image from the camera 3 to generate an image as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Then, this image is sent to the projector display unit 5 and projected on the screen 6 installed at a position visible to each purchaser. The data input from the bid information input unit 1 is transmitted from the bidder terminal 4 to the computer device 9 via the signal transmission network 10 and recorded in the data storage area of the lane.

FIG. 3 shows an example of an image obtained by processing the auction information input from the auction information input section 1 in another format.
The image of the camera 3 may be overlapped with the display of the producer name, the product name, etc. of this image. It should be noted that, at the bottom of the image, information of the next bid entered by the bidder is displayed.

Then, the bidder is started by a required operation of the bidder terminal 4. The image projected on the screen 6 is
Until the purchaser's input (described later) is entered, the bidder's operation gradually lowers the price from the auction start price, and the purchaser's buy input temporarily holds the price and adds the purchase input. Perform required auction processing such as waiting.

On the other hand, each purchaser has his or her own purchaser terminal 7
First, the required ID is input. This ID input may be made possible by inserting an ID card into the card reader 8 provided in the purchaser terminal 7, for example. FIG. 4 shows an example of the operation / display surface of the purchaser terminal device 7, and the slit 21 is the above-mentioned card reader 8. The ID read by the card reader 8 is registered in the memory built in the buyer terminal 7. After inputting the ID, the purchaser selects a purchase item from the sample images projected on the screen 6 of each lane and the image of the auction information, presses the lane key 22 corresponding to the desired auction item, and then displays it on the image. While deciding whether to purchase or not while looking at the displayed price, the number of purchases and the like are input by operating the number keys 23, and the send key 24 is pressed. By this transmitting operation, the input data from the buyer terminal 7 is transmitted to the computer device 9 together with the ID read from the built-in memory and recorded in the data storage area of the computer device 9 belonging to the ID.

The computer device 9 performs the required processing in the order in which the signals are input, and sends it to the bidder terminal 4. The bidder terminal 4, for example, subtracts the number of bids input from the buyer terminal 7 via the computer device 9 from the remaining number of bids of the bid item, processes the image data by the data processing unit 2, and displays it on the screen image. The remaining number of sold units is updated, and the buyer number (purchaser ID) and the number of purchased units are displayed. The images shown in Figures 2 and 3 start the auction from 5000 yen,
This is an example of the case where a buy is entered at 00 yen and the sale is completed. Then, the bidder terminal 4 outputs a signal to the buyer terminal 7, and the purchase amount and the like are displayed on the display unit 25 of the buyer terminal 7.

The label printer 11 prints the product name, the buyer number, the number of articles, etc. on a required sticking label in response to a signal from the bidder terminal 4 indicating that the sale has been completed. Alternatively, a printing device may be connected to the computer device 9 and the trading results and the like may be printed out based on the signals from the bidder terminals 4 based on the establishment of the trading.

[0014]

As described above, according to the auction system of the present invention, the image of the auction information is created by the required data processing and projected on the screen by the projector device installed in each lane. Therefore, for example, when the format of the image of the auction information is changed, it can be dealt with by changing the data processing method, so that the image can be easily switched depending on the item to be handled. Further, since the image on the screen is projected by the projector device, it is possible to display accurate bid information such as displaying the image of the sample product taken by the camera on the screen by the projector device.
