Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a result prediction voting system for a sports game in which a winning team and a score are predicted at a game venue such as soccer and baseball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to gather a large number of paid visitors at an event venue, a sports match venue, etc., for example,
A lottery will be drawn as soon as the event or game is finished using the number printed on the number tag or admission ticket, and the prize winners and campaign prizes will be presented to the winners to attract the visitors and also to attract customers. The system is generally known. However, this system is difficult to continue many times, and moreover, the attendee's consciousness of direct participation in events and the like gradually diminishes, and depending on prizes and the like, it is not possible to attract interest to the end. In particular, the system was not satisfactory for those who attended sports games such as soccer and baseball.

Therefore, at a match venue for soccer, baseball, tennis, boxing, etc., for example, a predictive voting card for predicting the score of the match at the entrance of the venue is distributed to the visitors, and the attendees predict the score (for example, , If it is a soccer match, enter 3: 1 to win A etc. on this prediction vote card and submit it to the staff, and the staff will enter the stamp with a stamp etc. on the predicted number to prevent tampering. Return to the person. After the match, if the expected score hits, the attendant will bring this hit card to the designated place, the staff will visually check, and then the prize will be presented in exchange for the result. To be

[0004]

However, although the above-mentioned system is provided with a means for preventing tampering by pressing a stamp on the number entered in the score, there is a possibility that tampering can be easily performed only with the stamp. . In addition, since all staff members make visual inspections, mistakes such as misreading and erroneous recognition of tamper checking are likely to occur. Moreover, in order to distribute the expected voting cards to a large number of visitors and to speed up the process for confirming the hit cards, a large number of staff members are required, which is costly.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a result predicting voting system capable of preventing tampering and enabling high processing speed with a small number of personnel.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a result predictive voting system for predicting a winning team and a score at a match venue such as soccer or baseball, and a predictable vote that can be handwritten. The card will be distributed to the visitors at the entrance of the venue, and by the time the match starts, the visitors will handwrite the expected score on the predictive voting card using a machine-readable code such as a four-point-corresponding code. By passing the card through a terminal (for example, a reader / writer), the terminal reads the four-point corresponding code, converts it into an Arabic number that can be easily read by the attendees, and prints it on the expected voting card. At the same time, the bar code,
By printing and recording the reception date and time, the score confirmation code, etc. on the side of the organizer with machine reading codes such as OCR characters, after the match, the visitors who have hit the prediction will submit this prediction voting card to the designated place, The organizer side passes the hit voting card that hits the terminal, reads the machine-readable code such as a four-point corresponding code, a number (score), the reception date and time,
It is a system for predicting the results of sports matches where players will exchange prizes after confirming that they are hit cards.

[0007]

According to the result predicting voting system of the present invention, unlike the conventional lottery method in which it is difficult for the attendees to select the preferred number by themselves, the winning team and the predictive score are decided by themselves.
By the participation method of the visitors who can exchange for prizes if they hit
It has the effect of attracting customers that makes you want to go see the game. Moreover, the visitors themselves wrote the score on the expected voting card with a machine-readable double-point code, and read it with a terminal (reader / writer) to convert it into Arabic numbers that are easy for the visitors to read. Record and display. After the match, put the hit predictive voting card on the terminal again, check the machine-readable code such as the four-point correspondence code, number (score), reception date, etc. The determination system makes it difficult to tamper.

[0008]

Embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
The result predictive voting system of the present invention allows the attendees of a sports game such as soccer and baseball to predict the winning team and the score, and presents prizes from the organizer to those who hit the This system is used to expand the Juan base, asking for support at the venue during the match.

FIG. 1 shows a flow chart in the result prediction voting system of the present invention. First, step 1
As a result, the expected voting card is distributed to the visitors at the match venue. This distribution method is not limited to handing out at the entrance, getting a card freely, or using an automatic ticket machine, but there is no manual way to get it freely or distribute it with a ticket machine Therefore, it is preferable. Next, as a procedure 2, the attendee writes the today's expected match score on the expected vote card. As a code for entering this expected score, a four-point correspondence type code (50) (JP-A-63)
The "four-point correspondence type individual information mark paper plate" according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 132093) was used. Although an example of the four-point correspondence type code table is shown in FIG. 2, the code table is not limited to this code table, and a new code table can be created by previously deciding the number to be displayed as the filled portion. The expected score is filled in and displayed based on this four-point correspondence code table. This filling is quick if done with a writing instrument using oil-based black ink,
It can be painted beautifully. Next, in step 3, the visitors pass the expected voting card with the expected score to the reader / writer before the start of the match, and the reader / writer reads the expected score by the filled four-point correspondence code and re-reads it. The expected score is printed and recorded in a predetermined column of the predictive voting card by converting it into Arabic numbers which are visual data that can be easily read by the visitors. At the same time, the machine-readable code of the organizer, for example, OMR, barcode, etc., prints and records the date of the match, the confirmation time, the expected score, etc., and then returns the expected voting card to the visitors. This predictive voting card becomes valid only by printing and recording the converted numbers and machine-readable code.

[0010] Next, in step 4, after the match, the attendant whose expected score hits brings this expected voting card to the prize exchange, and when the attendant passes this hit card to the reader / writer, the leader The writer checks whether the machine-readable code such as the four-point correspondence code, converted expected score number, reception date, time, score etc. has been tampered with, confirms the hit prediction voting card, approves it and exchanges it for a prize. The expected voting card that hit the target can be returned to the visitors as a commemorative after recording that the prize has been exchanged.

In this predictive voting system,
It is possible to display both the machine-readable number code (in this embodiment, four-point correspondence code) converted by the visitor and converted into a visual number code (Arabic numerals in this embodiment) of a different pattern, Prevents tampering. Therefore, it is also possible to use a barcode, OMR or the like.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a predictive voting card which is a medium of the present invention and an example of its use. The predictive voting card (10) used in the result predictive voting system is a paper card such as OMR paper. Good. This expected voting card (10)
As shown in FIG. 3 (a), a four-point correspondence code (50) is provided at the top (a "Taj" -shaped blank in which the filled portion is divided into four locations for one piece of information. 2 represents the number 0-9 by filling any of the
Blanks in (a) and (b) refer to an example of the code table), how to write a four-point correspondence code (51), and convert this handwritten code into an Arabic numeral through a reading transfer ribbon or the like. The frame column (52) to be printed is printed in advance.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 3 (b), one example of this use is that the visitors are expected to receive the expected voting card (10).
The expected score of today's game is displayed by filling a blank in the shape of "Taj" based on the entry method (51) of the four-point correspondence code (50) (for example,
In the case of FIG. 3B, A (the organizer side) wins 3 to 2).
When this expected voting card (10) that has been entered is passed through a reader / writer, this reader / writer reads the entered four-point correspondence code (50), converts it into an Arabic numeral and prints it in the box (52). To do. This allows visitors to easily check the score they expected. Also, FIG.
As shown in (c), at the same time as printing this Arabic number (53), the date and time of card reception (55), which the proof of the expected voting card was submitted before the start of the match, and the expectation of the organizer A machine-readable code such as the score confirmation code (56) is printed and recorded. As a result, the predictive voting card (10) becomes valid for the first time.

Next, although not shown, the expected voting card whose expected score is correct is passed through the reader / writer again to read the four-point correspondence code, converted number, reception date, expected score confirmation code, and tampered with. After confirming the presence or absence of the item, the date of receipt, etc., the prize is handed over, and a stamp such as exchanged or the like is recorded on this card.

Further, the recording on the predictive voting card is not limited to the printing through the transfer ribbon, and the thermosensitive coloring layer may be provided on the surface of the predictive voting card to record by the thermosensitive coloring.

[0016]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned constitution, it has the following effects. In other words, the entry of the expected score will not be a burden on the organizer (issuer) because the attendees do it themselves, and the expected voting card will be issued by the terminal.
Since it reads and prints and records, the processing speed is fast, and it is effective for mass processing for a large number of visitors to the game venue. Also, since the confirmation of the hit predictive voting card is done with a machine-readable code, it is hard to be tampered with,
Since the processing speed is high due to the mechanical processing, and the determination can be made accurately, various excellent effects such as processing with a small number of personnel occur.
