Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device capable of inputting data to a memory card.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a memory card had to be inserted into a device such as a personal computer, and the data stored in the memory card had to be read, written, and processed in the device. Therefore, when there is no such device at hand, it is necessary to go to the place where the device is located and input data there. For example, when purchasing a winning horse voting ticket, enter the necessary information on the voting card, such as the venue name, race number, frame number / horse number, amount, etc., and insert it into the information processing device installed at the winning horse voting sale center. To do. The information processing device reads the voting card and issues a corresponding winning horse voting ticket. The voting card is made of paper and filled in with a pencil. If it is incorrect, it takes time to erase it and rewrite it, and there is a risk that the voting card will be soiled.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and purchases a winning ballot ticket by inputting necessary data into a memory card and inserting the data into an information processing device. The purpose is to be able to.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a first input section for inputting data, a memory section for storing the input data, and a first display section for displaying the stored data. A first storage unit that stores a program that controls the data input device; a first control unit that controls the first input unit, the memory unit, the first display unit, and the first storage unit; A first connector to be connected to the device, a battery for supplying electric power to the respective units, a battery for supplying the respective units and the battery at the time of ON operation, and the memory unit and the first unit.
Provided is a data input device including a switch that connects a control unit, disconnects each unit from the battery at the time of OFF operation, and switches the memory unit to the first connector.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the information necessary for purchasing the winning betting ticket with the switch in the ON position is input from the first input section. The input data is stored in the memory unit and displayed on the first display unit. If you turn the switch to the off position at the end of input, each part (except the memory part)
Is turned off, and the connection of the memory section is switched from the first control section to the connector. After that, when the data input device is connected to an external information processing device, the data in the memory section is read by the information processing device and subjected to predetermined processing by the information processing device.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a first input unit for inputting information necessary for purchasing a winning horse voting ticket. A memory unit 2 stores the input data. A first display unit 3 displays the data in the memory unit 2. A first storage unit 4 stores a program required for controlling the data input device. Reference numeral 5 denotes a first control unit, which controls each of the above units. Reference numeral 6 denotes a battery, which supplies electric power to each of the above parts. 7 is the first connector,
The memory unit 2 is connected via a switch 8. A switch 8 switches the connection between the memory unit 2 and the first control unit 5 and connects it to the connector 7, and opens and closes the connection between the battery 6 and each of the above units. However, the memory unit 2 is always turned on to retain the memory. Reference numeral 9 denotes a data input device, which is composed of the above-mentioned units. An information processing device 10 is connected to the data input device 9. A second input unit 11 operates the information processing device 10. A second display unit 12 displays the data and the like input through the second input unit 11. A second control unit 13 controls each of the above units. A second connector 14 is connected to the first connector 7.

In the above structure, when the user turns on the switch 8, the respective parts and the battery 6 are connected and the data input device 9 is connected.
Works. Information necessary to purchase the winning horse voting ticket in this state, such as the venue name, race number, frame number / horse number,
Data such as the amount of money is input from the first input unit 1. The input data is stored in the memory unit 2 and the first display unit 3
Is displayed in. When all the inputs are completed, the switch 8 is moved to the off position. When the switch 8 is turned off, the connection between the battery 6 and each unit except the memory unit 2 is disconnected, the data input device 9 stops operating, and the connection between the memory unit 2 and the first control unit 5 is disconnected and the memory unit 2 is It is connected to the first connector 7. When the user carries the data input device 9 and goes to the Katsuma Voting Sale Center and inserts the data input device 9 into the information processing device 10 installed in the center, the first connector 7 of the data input device 9 and the information processing device Second of ten
The connector 14 is connected. When the operation necessary for issuing the winning horse betting ticket is performed from the second input unit 11, the information processing device 10 reads the data stored in the memory unit 2 through the first connector 7 and the second connector 14 and processes the data in its own device. Perform and issue the appropriate winning horse voting ticket.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The second storage unit stores various programs for controlling the information processing device 10. Therefore, the data input device 9
When is connected to the information processing apparatus 10, the information processing apparatus 10 reads the program data in the second storage unit 15 via the first connector 7 and the second connector 14 and operates according to the program data. In this program data, for example,
A program for issuing a betting ticket for a bicycle race, a program for issuing a betting ticket for a boat race, etc. are stored, and the information processing device 10 operates according to these read programs and issues a corresponding betting ticket. . In another embodiment, when the data input device 9 is connected to the information processing device 10, the electric power to each part of the data input device 9 is passed through the second connector 14 and the connector 7 to the information processing device 10.
Supplied from

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, since necessary data can be directly input to the data input device (memory card), complicated input processing is input to the data input device in advance, Since only the voting ticket issuing process is performed by the information processing device, there is an advantage that the operating rate of the information processing device is improved.
