Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information providing system and a betting ticket purchasing system in a stadium such as a racetrack, a bicycle racetrack, and a boat racetrack. The present invention relates to a system for purchasing a voting ticket from any place in a stadium.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in public stadiums such as a racetrack, a bicycle racetrack, and a boat racetrack, when purchasing a betting ticket, information such as a desired number and the like is arranged to a voting counter installed in a specific place, and a counter person in charge is provided. A method of purchasing by verbal communication, filling in a desired item on a predetermined mark sheet and arranging it in an automatic reader and operating the machine by yourself, or with the cooperation of a terminal operation assistant is used. On the other hand, there is a system in which a voting ticket can be purchased using a telephone while staying at home, though it is a membership system.

[0003] In addition, when purchasing a betting ticket, it is common practice to obtain and refer to information such as odds.
Such information can be stored on a TV screen installed at a predetermined location (screen information cannot be set arbitrarily by the individual and specific information is provided unilaterally by a provider) or an odds printer (a specific location) (Set and offered for a fee).

[0004] In addition, particularly in the case of a racetrack, in most cases, there are facilities where children can play on the track and areas where families can relax, so that the whole family can enjoy it. The state of the horse in the paddock and information referred to when purchasing the voting ticket are to be viewed on a TV, a large-sized vision, or the like provided at a predetermined place.

[0005]

Therefore, in a conventional public stadium, odds printers are only located in a limited place for the purpose of purchasing voting tickets. It is necessary to check before etc. In addition, odds information and the like of other stadiums are limited information, and it is difficult to arbitrarily obtain information. Furthermore, when enjoying with the family in the stadium,
Moving around a large stadium, especially with small children, will reduce the enjoyment by half. In addition, when purchasing a voting ticket, it is necessary to line up at a predetermined voting window (including when operating an automatic reader), so it is crowded especially when the deadline is approaching, so some voters cannot purchase it. There may be cases. Further, there is a disadvantage that it is troublesome to leave a seat to purchase a voting ticket many times from a place far from the voting window or a specific place (designated seat, etc.).

[0006] An object of the present invention is to reduce the complexity of the conventional system in which necessary information can only be obtained at a specific place in a stadium, so that desired information can be obtained from anywhere in the stadium and free time. In addition, when purchasing a voting ticket, problems and congestion that could only be purchased in a specific place,
It is to provide a system that avoids complexity.

[0007]
