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 Otsuzu data at public stadiums is generally displayed on an Otsuzu display board or on a monitor TV that displays 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 odds data, voters should stay near the odds 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, we will transmit Otsuzu data from the stadium's central control device wirelessly from time to time, and
A system has been developed that allows this Otsuzu data to be received and displayed using a portable receiver. In this system, voters carry this receiver with them so that they can know the latest odds data wherever they are.

However, conventional portable receivers of this type simply display Otsuzu data sent at regular intervals in sequence, and the display time of each Otsuzu data is constant. .

On the other hand, many voters are considering a small number of specific odds data when purchasing voting tickets, and are not necessarily interested in all odds data. Therefore, if the voting data that the voter needs to know or the data that the voter does not need to know are displayed sequentially, as is the case with conventional portable receivers, it is difficult for the voter to wait until the desired voting data is displayed. , you will have to wait quite a long time. For this reason, if the desired prize data is displayed just before the deadline for selling voting tickets, there may not be enough time to fully consider purchasing the voting ticket.

Furthermore, the display of Otsuzu data is updated sequentially, so if the display of Otsuzu data that requires consideration is updated while the above consideration is not completed, wait until the next Otsuzu data is displayed. I had to,
From this point as well, the conventional method has disadvantages and inconveniences.

In order to solve this problem, the present inventors have provided a portable Otsuzu data receiver that fixes Otsuzu data for an arbitrary period of time and displays it. However, this portable odds data receiver can only display one type of odds data at a time out of the three types of odds data: consecutive wins, single wins, and multiple wins, so for example, it is necessary to purchase three types of voting tickets. Voters who wish to vote cannot consider the three types in parallel, and the problem remains that they have to press the keys one after another until the data for consecutive wins, single wins, and multiple wins are displayed. was.

<Object of the Invention> In view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional portable Otsuzu data receiver, the present invention provides a continuous winning type, single winning type,
By selecting each specific odds data of the multi-win formula and displaying them at the same time, the above-mentioned disadvantages and inconveniences are resolved.
The purpose of this is to further improve fan service.

<Structure and Effects of the Invention> The present invention has been made with the aim of achieving the above-mentioned objects.
A portable Otsuzu data receiver that receives and displays Otsuzu data wirelessly transmitted from a central management device, and an RA in which at least loose Otsuzu data is stored.
M, a display section on which odds data is displayed, a control section for specifying this display, and a control section for controlling the display on the display section, and the display section includes a consecutive win type, single win type, and multiple win type. A display device is provided for displaying the odds data for one vote for each voting ticket type, and the operation section is provided with a voting ticket type selection key for selecting each voting ticket type and a numeric keypad for selecting the voting number. The control section searches and reads out the odds data for one vote of each specified voting ticket type from the RAM in response to the display designation signal inputted from the voting ticket type selection key and numeric keypad of the production section. The system is configured to output the odds data to the display devices corresponding to each type of voting ticket.

Since the device of the present invention has the above-mentioned structural features, a voter who carries the device can select specific odds data of consecutive wins, single wins, and multiple wins that are of interest to him/her and use them. If displayed at the same time, three types of voting can be considered in parallel. Therefore, according to the present invention, voters can fully consider their votes and enjoy competitions such as horse racing through simple repetition, and fan service can be improved.
