PURPOSE:To reduce manual correction work and to improve the ticket vending efficiency of the machine by automatically vending a ticket by determining a betted amount unit from an amount mark and an inserted money amount when the description of the betted money unit is missed. CONSTITUTION:When the some description in a betting card is missed, the description- missing part is displayed at a rear face display part 10 and inputted by a keyboard 11. A control part 12 controls respective parts and is provided with functions as a discriminating means 12A for discriminating whether a money unit in the betting card is missed or not, discriminating means 12B for discriminating money unit from the money amount mark and the inserted money amount when the description of a money unit is missed, and discriminating means 12C for discriminating whether the change can be constituted or not based on the inserted money amount and the number of coins. When the description is missed, it is discriminated whether remaining amount (inserted amount) < (the total of all the unit description miss amount column marks) X 100 or not, and in the case of YES, cash error is judged. In the case of NO, it is discriminated whether the remaining amount is equal to the cash amount or not, and when it is equal, normal ticket vending processing is performed by considering the mark of the description missed column as 100YEN.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a voting ticket vending machine for selling voting tickets using a mark card. At present, when there is omission in the voting card, the method of returning the voting card for correction or correcting it by key input is adopted. In these correction methods, the voting card is returned once and filled in again and re-inserted, or the omission of the entry is displayed on the screen to prompt key input, so it takes time for the selling machine side and human operation at the same time. Since it is necessary, it is a factor that impedes the improvement of ticketing speed. Fans (the general public) fill in the voting card, so it is impossible to eliminate omissions.

In such a state, there is a need to develop a voting ticket vending machine which can reduce the correction work by humans and can improve the ticket issuing rate.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional voting ticket vending machines, first of all,
The voting card marked by the voter is read by the voting card reader. Voters mark the voting card by ceremony, place number, race number, frame number, horse number, amount, and unit to have the voting card read by the voting ticket vending machine and the voting amount on the voting ticket vending machine. throw into.

When the voting card is read, the voting ticket vending machine issues the voting ticket at the voting ticket vending section and displays it on the customer display section. When the input amount is a bill, the bill identifying unit identifies the change amount, and when the change is dispensed in the bill, the change is performed in the bill dispensing unit. Similarly, when the input amount is a coin, the coin is identified by the coin identifying unit, and the coin is dispensed by the coin dispensing unit.

If the voting ticket copy is printed by the printing ticket printing section and the voting card is not filled in, the voting card is returned and corrected, or the screen of the rear display section is displayed. It was corrected by keying in with the keyboard.

[0006]

However, in such a conventional voting ticket vending machine, if there is an omission in the voting card, the voting card should be returned once and then re-inserted or filled in. Since the leaked portion is displayed on the screen and corrected by key input, it takes a long processing time on the sale machine side, and at the same time, a correction operation by a human is required, so that the ticket issuing speed is limited. As a result, there has been a problem that the high ticket issuing rate decreases. In particular, since there are many omissions in the voting amount unit, the above problems have occurred.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and when the omission of the voting amount unit mark occurs, the amount unit is determined from the amount mark and the input amount, so that a correction work by a human is performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a betting ticket issuing machine capable of reducing the number of tickets and improving the ticket issuing rate of the device.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the present invention. According to the present invention, in a voting ticket vending machine that reads a mark on a voting card and sells a voting ticket, the first determination means 12A for determining whether or not there is an omission in the amount of the voting card and the omission of the amount of money. Second discriminating means 12 for discriminating the monetary unit from the monetary mark and the inserted monetary amount when there is
B, and a third discriminating means 12C for discriminating whether or not a change can be constructed based on the type of coins and the number of coins.

The present invention also provides, as the amount mark,
It is characterized in that the unit of money is discriminated from the input amount of money by using the sum total of all the unit omission amount amount column marks and the minimum unit omission amount amount column marks total. Further, according to the present invention, it is impossible to configure the change using only the input amount and the number of coins. It is characterized in that the ticket issuing process is normally performed when it is not possible even as a copy.

Further, according to the present invention, when the change can be constructed by using only the input denomination and the number of coins, and the change can be constructed by one coin other than the input denomination, the normal ticket issuance is possible. It is characterized in that a mark unfilled error is generated when the change is not processed with one coin after processing.

[0011]

According to the present invention, when the omission of the entry of the amount of money on the voting card is discriminated, the amount of money is discriminated from the amount mark and the amount of money to be deposited, and whether change can be constructed based on the amount of money to be deposited and the number of coins. Since the determination is made and the voting amount unit is determined and the ticket is automatically issued, the correction work by a human can be reduced, and the high ticketing rate of the device can be improved.

Reference numeral 10 is a rear surface display section, and 11 is a keyboard. When the voting card has an omission, the omission of the entry is displayed on the rear surface display section 10 and the keyboard 11 is used for input. Reference numeral 12 is a control unit. The control unit 12 controls each unit and determines whether or not there is omission of the amount of money in the voting card. It has a function as a second discriminating means 12B for discriminating a monetary amount unit from a monetary amount and a third discriminating means 12C for discriminating whether or not a change can be constructed based on the inserted amount and the number of coins.

Next, the operation will be described. 3 and 4 are flowcharts for explaining the operation. In FIG.
First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not there is any omission in the amount of money. If there is no omission in the money amount, normal ticket issuing processing is performed in step S2. If there are omissions, step S3
Then, it is determined whether or not the remaining amount (payment amount) <total unit total omission amount column mark total x 100, and if YES, step S4
And it is an error of insufficient balance. If NO, step S5
In step S6, it is determined whether or not the remaining amount is equal to the remaining amount, and in step S6, the mark in the blank column is set to 100 yen, and in step S2, a normal ticket issuing process is performed.

If it is not equal to the remaining amount, step S7
And the balance <(total unit total omission amount mark mark total × 10
0 + minimum unit entry omission amount column mark total × 900), and if NO, a mark non-entry error is determined in step S8. If YES, the mark in the blank column is set to 100 yen in step S9 of FIG. 4, and the change amount is calculated in step S10.

Next, in step S11, it is determined whether the change can be constructed by using only the amount of money and the number of coins, and NO.

If YES in step S12, it is determined in step S14 that the mark has not been entered. Further, if YES in step S11, it is determined in step S15 whether change can be configured with one coin other than the input denomination. Is step S
At 13, a normal ticket issuing process is performed.

Next, a specific description will be given with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 shows a part of the voting card. In the amount column, there are marks 2, 3 and 4, but in the unit column, there are omissions. Hereinafter, some examples will be described. In FIG. 6, when the input amount is less than 800 yen, it is determined that there is a balance shortage error (see step S3).

When the input amount is 900 yen, 100 yen is issued as a unit (see step S5). When the input amount is 1000 yen, 500 yen coin x 1 + 100 yen coin x
In the case of 5 or 100-yen coin × 10, it is regarded as a mark non-filling error (see step S11 → step S15).

In this case, it is possible to configure the change using only the input denomination and the number of coins, and it is not possible to configure the change with one coin other than the input denomination. When the input amount is 1000 yen and the 1000-yen bill × 1 or the 500-yen coin × 2, the ticket is issued in 100-yen units (step S11).
→ See step S12).

In this case, it is impossible to configure the change using only the input denomination and the number of coins, or the change of the input denomination and the number of coins. Also, if the input amount is 1500 yen,
In the case of 1000-yen bill × 1 + 500-yen coin × 1 or 500-yen coin × 3, it is regarded as a mark non-entry error (see step S11 → step S12).

In this case, it is possible to configure the change as a part of the input denomination and the number of coins. In addition, the input amount is 1900
In the case of yen, 500 yen coins x 3 + 100 yen coins x 4,500
Yen coins x 2 + 100-yen coins x 9, 500-yen coins x 1 + 100-yen coins x 14 or 100-yen coins x 19, tickets are issued in 100-yen units, and change is 1000-yen bills x 1 (step S11 → step S15). ,reference).

In this case, the change can be constructed by using only the type of money and the number of coins to be inserted, but the change can be composed of one coin other than the amount of money to be inserted. Note that other specific examples are shown in FIG. In this manner, when the money amount unit mark is not filled, the money amount unit is determined from the money amount mark and the input money amount and the ticket issuing process is performed. Therefore, human correction work can be reduced, and the ticket issuing rate can be improved. .

[0025]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the voting amount unit is not filled in, the voting amount unit is determined from the amount mark and the input amount and the ticket is automatically issued. It is possible to reduce human correction work and improve the ticket issuing rate of the device.
