Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Field of the Invention> The present invention is directed to a system that transmits data by radio from a central management device installed to centrally manage competition conditions at public stadiums such as racetracks, velodromes, and boat races. The present invention relates to a portable odds data receiver that receives and displays upcoming odds data (expected payout rate).

<Prior art and its problems> Display of Otsuzu data in public stadiums is generally performed by Otsuzu display boards or monitor televisions that display the data.

By the way, the locations of such Otsuzu display boards and monitor TVs are specified, and they may not be visible at the voting ticket sales counter. On the other hand, it is advantageous for voters to consider purchasing voting tickets based on the latest odds data. Therefore, in order to know the latest Otsuzu data, voters should stay near the Otsuzu display board or monitor TV located in a separate location from the voting ticket sales counter until just before the voting ticket sales deadline, and then go to the voting ticket sales counter. It turns out.

However, when a large number of voters adopt this method of purchasing voting tickets, the ticket sales counters are often confused by the rush of voters.

To solve this problem, a system has been developed in which the competition data is transmitted wirelessly from the central control unit of the stadium, and this data is received by a portable receiver and displayed on the screen. There is. In this system, a portable receiver sequentially displays Otsuzu data sent from a central control unit at regular intervals, or
Alternatively, it is possible to selectively display only the desired odds data specified by the voter's settings from among the multiple transmitted odds data, and by carrying this receiver, the voter can You can now know the latest Otsuzu data even when you are at home.

By the way, when a voter purchases a voting ticket, he or she does not cast one vote for Ruth, but selects multiple voting numbers considering various possibilities, and determines whether the amount of money held and the vote are correct. The voting amount is allocated to each voting number according to the probability that the vote will be made. In this case, the voter identifies the specific odds that he or she is interested in, estimates the expected dividend based on that, and then assigns the amount to each voting number. The amount of votes will be determined.

Such considerations are usually done by voters by mental calculations or by taking notes on memo paper, and the details of the considerations tend to be very general.

On the other hand, conventional portable receivers merely display the data transmitted from the central control unit, and do not have any functions that can be used for the above study. Therefore, even though voters can know the latest Otsuzu data through their portable receivers, they still have to use mental arithmetic or memo calculations to estimate the expected dividend and consider voting. Traditional portable receivers are not sufficiently useful for voters to consider their votes. For voters, if they have a portable receiver with a calculation function that helps them consider their votes, it will be convenient because they will be able to examine their votes in detail, and this will contribute to improving fan service.

<Object of the Invention> In view of the above-mentioned problems with the conventional portable receiver, the present invention provides that when a voter inputs the required voting amount for any voting number by setting, the voting number corresponds to the voting number. Based on the Otsuzu data, the difference between the expected dividend and the total voting amount will be calculated and this will be displayed as the expected profit.This will allow voters to accurately select the voting number and voting amount according to their budget and expectations. The purpose is to make it easier for voters to examine their votes in detail and improve fan service.

<Structure and Effects of the Invention> The present invention has been made to achieve the above objects, and
A portable Otsuzu data receiver that receives and displays Otsuzu data wirelessly transmitted from a central management device,
A RAM that stores at least the winnings' data, a display section that displays the winnings data for one vote, and the expected profit for the voting amount, and a display that allows you to manually set the voting amount for any voting number. It has an operation section and a control section that controls the display of the display section, and the control section searches and reads data for one designated vote from the RAM in response to input from the operation section. , an expected dividend is calculated from the odds data and the voting amount, and the difference between this expected dividend and the total voting amount is displayed on the display section as the expected profit.

Since the receiver of the present invention has the above-mentioned structural features, when a voter carrying the receiver sets and inputs the required voting amount for any voting number, the display section shows Estimated profits for the total voting amount are displayed. Therefore, voters can examine in detail how to allocate their voting amount according to the budget while looking at the expected amount of revenue.

<Description of Examples> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a portable Otsuzu data receiver of the present invention,

) is the voting number, the 5th byte) (#4) and the 6th byte (
#5) consists of each data of expected dividend rate.

In addition, in Figure 6, Otsuzu data number 0 is used for convenience of drawing.
Only storage areas 1, 02.37, 38, 58, and 59.60 are shown, and illustration of other storage areas is omitted.

Next, the operation of each part in calculating and displaying the expected profit for an arbitrary voting number in this portable odds data receiver will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Now, in the winning streak ceremony, Otsuzu with voting number "2-3" is 124.
3", this will be given a 2,000 yen vote, and in the multiple-win system, the winner with voting number "12" will be [4,8J, and a 1,000 yen vote will be given to this.

First, in the case of setting and inputting the voting amount for the winning streak type described in 1., the operations on the operation unit 22 are as follows:
Voting ticket type key 22a, [February'-Jr3J number key 2
2c and [-34-22d, voting number key 22b, r2
JrO, JrooJ) Number "f-22c, setting key 2
Operate in the order of 2e.

When the voting amount is set and input in this way, in step 1, the system memorizes that the voting ticket type is "1" and displays the ticket type "1" on the display section 24, and then confirms that the displayed content is the voting amount. The display lamp 25a indicating this is blinked (step 2). In step 3, the voting number "2-31" is memorized and displayed on the display section 24, and in step 4, the voting amount "2000J" is memorized and displayed on the display section 24, and this sets the voting amount for one vote. Since the input is completed, the voting amount display lamp 25a is lit continuously (step 5).Next, in step 6, the voting number that has been set and input, in this example, corresponds to 1'2-3J of the winning streak type. Search and read out the Otsuzu data, i.e., i24.3J, from the RAM 20. Then, in step 7, the i-sold Otsuzu data ``24.34'' and the input voting amount ``2'' are set.
000J and calculate the expected dividend F48600J according to the following formula.

24.3X 2000= 48600 ・・・・・・・・・
(a) Next, in step 8, it is determined whether or not the completion key 22f has been operated. If the completion key 22f has not been pressed, return to step 1, and set the other voting numbers and voting amounts, in this example, the voting amount of 1000 yen for the multiple-win type "12" in the same manner as described above. input. Furthermore, once the series of operations for voting the required amount is completed,
Operate the completion key 22f. When the completion key 22f is pressed repeatedly, the process moves to step 9, where the total amount of votes up to that point is calculated and stored. In this case, 20 in the winning streak 1”2-3J
00 yen voting, 2 winning formula "12", 1000 yen voting yen voting, the total amount of votes is 2000 + 1000 = 3000 ・・・・・・・・・
・(b) is 3000 yen. In the next step 10, first, the expected dividend amount obtained in step 7 for the winning streak type votes that was initially set and input is ``48,600''.
Calculate the expected profit from J and the total voting amount "3000J" and store it.The expected profit is 48600-3000 = 45600...
(c) However, since the display unit is 100 yen, the number [456J] of 100 yen or more is displayed on the corresponding part 24a of the display section 24 (step 11). Then, the indicator lamp 25b is turned on to indicate that the content displayed on the display section 24 is the expected profit (step 12). This will lead to a winning streak ceremony, ``If 2-3J is correct, the total voting amount will be 300.
It can be seen that 45,600 yen can be obtained as profit for 0 yen.

In step 13, the release key 22. It is determined whether or not the has been repeated, and if it has been repeated, the process moves to step 16 and all displays on the display section 24 are cleared.
．． If not, the process proceeds to step 14, where it is determined whether the completion key 22f has been operated and it is □, 1'.

If Completion 4-22f has been operated, the expected profit for the voting amount input in the second setting operation, in this example 1000 yen for "12" of the multiple win type, is calculated and displayed on the display section 24. to be displayed. By operating the completion key 22f in this way, the expected profits for a plurality of votes are displayed one after another on the display section 24.

The central management device 1 displays the Otsuzu data on the display unit 24.
The odds data sent from the controller may be displayed sequentially on the display section 24, or after the loose odds data is temporarily stored in the RAM 20, the voting ticket type and voting number can be displayed by operating the operation section 22. input, search and read out the Otsuzu data corresponding to that voting number from the RAM 20,
This may be displayed on the display section 24.
