In addition, the terminal 3 has the contents of the voting by the mark card 6 read by the mark card reader 4, the record information of the IC card 1 read by the IC card reader / writer 5,
A display 7 for displaying an error message or the like is also provided, and a money inputting / discharging port or the like is provided in a terminal for automatic sale / refund.

Further, the totalizer system 2 includes:
The fan reads the IC card 1 arbitrarily inserted, displays the release contents recorded on the IC card 1 and the hit status, and, if there is a hit vote, displays the confirmed status. The display 8 is connected and provided. Although FIG. 1 shows one terminal 3 and one reproduction display 8 for simplification of the drawing,
Arbitrary plural units can be connected to the totalizer system 2 and provided.

Hereinafter, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. FIG.
Is a flowchart showing the operation of the voting process. Here, a case where the terminal 3 is installed at the sales / refund window will be described. In this case, when voting, an IC card 1 provided by the fan
Upon receiving the mark card 6 on which the required voting content is marked, the IC card 1 is inserted into the IC card reader / writer 5 and the mark card 6 is inserted into the mark card reader 4. First, in the terminal 3, the inserted mark card 6 is read by the mark card reader 4 (step S1), and the contents of the vote are displayed on the display 7 and transmitted to the totalizer system 2 (step S2). The totalizer system 2 checks the voting content transmitted from the terminal 3 (step S3),
If it is correct, a release permission signal (OK) is transmitted to the terminal 3, and if it is not correct, a release non-permission signal (NG) is transmitted.

In the terminal 3, the totalizer system 2
When the IC card reader / writer 5 receives the release permission signal, the IC card reader / writer 5 writes the voting content (release content) on the IC card 1 (step S4), and when the writing is completed, ejects the IC card 1 (step S5). When the above processing is completed, the employee receives the purchase money from the fan, hands over the IC card 1 on which the release content is written to the fan, and ends the voting processing.

On the other hand, when the terminal 3 receives the sale rejection signal from the totalizer system 2, an error message is displayed on the display 7 (step S6), and the inserted IC card 1 and mark card 6 are displayed. Are discharged (step S7), and they are handed to the fan, and the processing is terminated.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the payout process. Also in this case, it is assumed that the terminal 3 is installed at the sales / refund window. So, in this case,
The window worker receives the IC card 1 inserted from the fan and inserts it into the IC card reader / writer 5. First, in the terminal 3, the sale contents recorded on the inserted IC card 1 are read by the IC card reader / writer 5 (step S11), the sale contents are displayed on the display 7, and the totalizer system 2 is displayed.
(Step S12). The totalizer system 2 checks the release content transmitted from the terminal 3 (step S13), and if the hit is found, the hit information (OK) is obtained. If not, the hit information (NG) is sent to the terminal. Send to 3.

The terminal 3 has a totalizer system 2
When the hit information is received from, the sale content, hit status, and hit voting decision status are displayed on the display 7 as shown in FIG. 4, for example (step S14). Thereafter, the inserted IC card 1 is operated by the IC card reader / writer 5.
The IC card 1 is subjected to a rewriting process for erasing the release contents other than the undetermined release contents (step S15), and then the IC card 1 is ejected from the terminal 3 (step S16). When the above processing is completed, the worker hands over the IC card 1 and the refund for the hit voting to the fan and ends the refund processing.

On the other hand, when the terminal 3 receives the unsuccessful information from the totalizer system 2, the display 7
An error message indicating that there is no hit vote is displayed (step S17), the IC card 1 is ejected (step S18), and the IC card 1 is handed over to the fan, and the process is terminated.

In the voting process and the refund process described above, the terminal 3 has been described as being installed at the sales / refund window. However, in the terminal for automatic release / refund, the IC card 1 or the mark card Is inserted into the terminal to operate similarly.

On the other hand, in the reproduction display unit 8, when the IC card 1 is inserted from the fan, the recorded release contents are read and transmitted to the totalizer system 2, and the totalizer system 2 hits the target corresponding to the release contents. If there is a situation and a hit vote, the confirmation situation is transmitted to the reproduction display 8 and displayed, for example, as shown in FIG.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified or modified. For example, portable recording media that can record and reproduce information and that can be used repeatedly are not limited to IC cards, and various rewritable and write-once recording media, for example,
Magneto-optical disks, optical disks, optical cards, magnetic disks, magnetic cards, and the like can be used. Also, for example, a magnetic disk is used as a recording medium, a computer equipped with the magnetic disk is lent to a fan, and the computer and the totalizer system can communicate with each other by radio waves or infrared rays, etc. By inputting the voting content to be purchased and transmitting the voting content to the totalizer system by radio waves or infrared rays, the sales content can be managed by both the computer equipped with the magnetic disk and the totalizer system.

[0018]
