In order to facilitate the refund of voting tickets, the minimum information necessary for refunding is printed on the voting ticket at the time of issuance, separately from the magnetic recording (thereby, when refunding, for some reason magnetic recording is not possible). Even if recorded information cannot be obtained,
Refunds can be made based on the printed information.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a voting ticket issuing device and a method for refunding voting tickets, and for example, when refunding a voting ticket that is a winning ticket,
A voting ticket issuing device and a voting ticket issued thereby, which issue a voting ticket that can be refunded even if the information originally magnetically recorded on the voting ticket cannot be obtained. Regarding the refund method.

[Conventional technology]

For example, voting tickets are sold for horse races, bicycle races, auto races, etc., and winning tickets are refunded.

Conventionally, voting ticket issuing devices for selling such voting tickets and refund devices for the voting tickets sold thereby have been used. Such a voting ticket vending machine is equipped with at least an input operation section and a display section.

When selling voting tickets using such a vending machine, a display screen as shown in FIG. 7, for example, is first obtained. Here, the display screen shows "1 Tokyo.

The race locations are displayed, such as ``2 Chiba, 3 Saitama, 4 Kyoto, 5 Osaka'', so select the ``venue name'' indicated by the cursor (indicated by an arrow pointing to the right). In other words, rlJ, r2J, r3J included in the operation section,
Press the desired number key from among the r4J keys. In the illustrated example, "1" for "Tokyo" is selected.

Next, select which race will be held at the selected race location. In the illustrated example, it is the 10th race on the 10th day of the 11th race in 1986.

When such an operation is performed, a display screen as shown in FIG. 8 is obtained. In other words, "Tokyo" will be displayed in kanji in place of r field name j, and for the race, the cursor will be displayed to specify "-61 11th IO day j and rlo race j. Here, by r ceremony". Instructs, and displays four types of formulas: "1 consecutive win (continuous win combination) J, r2 multiple wins", "3 consecutive wins", and "4 consecutive wins (consecutive wins single format)". here,
The rlJ, r21. r3J, r4”
Operate the desired number key from among the keys. Now, for example, if we specify "continuous winning combination", rlJ
Operate the number keys.

Furthermore, the operator inputs the "framework", "amount j, etc." desired by the voting ticket purchaser into the voting ticket issuing device according to key operations on the operation section. Then, based on these various data,
A voting ticket '911 as shown in FIG. 9 is issued. On the voting ticket 911, designation data regarding "venue name J + r race" and r type type j are printed. By the way, a magnetic film is formed on the entire surface of the voting ticket 911 opposite to the printed surface, and these various data are recorded on the magnetic surface. Normally, this magnetically written data is read and used for refunds, etc.

By the way, after the race is confirmed, the winning ticket, voting ticket 9,
11 must be refunded. Normally, when accepting a refund, data magnetically written on the voting ticket 911 is read by the league, and the refund is made in accordance with the read data.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, in the conventional method described above, various data necessary for refunding are recorded on the magnetic surface of the voting ticket 911, as described above. All you have to do is read this data and issue a refund, but sometimes the necessary data is not available. For example, the magnetic league may be out of order or the magnetic data on the voting ticket 911 may be corrupted.

In this way, if for some reason the magnetic recording data necessary for a refund cannot be obtained, the only option is to make a refund based on the print data on the printing surface of the voting ticket 911. In that case, the print data of the voting ticket 911 is inputted by key operations on the manual input section of the payout device. In that case as well, the refund device displays the voting ticket 911 according to the display screen shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
It was necessary to operate the corresponding number key while selecting the printed number. Therefore, there were problems in that the selection operation was extremely cumbersome, errors were likely to occur, and the processing and operability at the time of refund were poor.

The same applies to the sale of voting tickets, refunds, etc. for horse racing, bicycle racing, auto racing, etc.

By the way, when it is necessary to make a "refund",
Not only is there a case where a dividend is distributed for a winning voting ticket, but there is also a case where there is some kind of change in a voting ticket once issued, and the voting ticket is once collected and reissued. In other words, "refund" is a general term for collecting voting tickets and issuing (returning) money. In this Specification 4, it shall be used in this sense.

The present invention was created in consideration of these points, and it is designed to ensure that even if magnetic recording information cannot be obtained for some reason at the time of "refund", there will be no problem with the refund. The purpose is to provide a voting ticket issuing device and a voting ticket refund method.

Means for Solving Problem C] Figure 1 (A) is a diagram showing the principle of the voting ticket issuing device of the present invention.

In the figure, information providing means 113 provides various information to be recorded on voting ticket 111.

The writing means 115 writes information to be recorded to the information providing means 11.
3 and magnetically records it on the voting ticket 111.

The printing means 117 receives information necessary for refund among the information to be recorded from the information providing means 113 and prints it on the voting ticket 111.

Therefore, as a whole, the minimum necessary information for refunding is printed on the voting ticket 111 at the time of issuance, in addition to the magnetic recording.

(ii) Second Figure 1 (B) is a diagram showing the principle of the voting ticket refund method of the present invention.

In the figure, the voting ticket issuing device includes an information providing means 113 that provides various information to be recorded on the voting ticket 111, and an information providing means 113 that receives information to be recorded from the information providing means 113 and magnetically inserts it into the voting ticket 111. It is provided with a writing means 115 for recording, and a printing means 117 for receiving information necessary for returning information among the information to be recorded from the information providing means 113 and printing it on the voting ticket 111.

This voting ticket issuing device records and prints both pieces of information on a voting ticket 111 and issues the same.

When making a refund, information magnetically recorded on the voting ticket 111 is read magnetically to obtain information necessary for the refund.

If the desired refund cannot be made with the information obtained by magnetic reading, the information printed on the voting ticket 111
Read lJ. A desired refund is made according to the information.

Therefore, as a whole, even if a refund cannot be made depending on the magnetic information of the voting ticket 111 issued by the voting ticket issuing device, a desired refund can be made according to the printed information.

[For production]

The skin writing means 115 magnetically records the information provided by the information providing means 113 on the voting ticket 111. Also,
The printing means 117 prints on the voting ticket 111 at least the minimum information necessary for refund among the information to be recorded.

In the present invention, since the voting ticket 111 is issued with the minimum information necessary for a refund printed separately from the magnetic record, even if the magnetic record information cannot be obtained for some reason, the printed Refunds can be made based on this information.

”1411 The writing means 115 of the voting ticket issuing device is the information providing means 11
3 is magnetically recorded on the voting ticket 111. Further, the printing means 117 prints at least the minimum information necessary for refund among the information to be recorded.
Print on voting ticket 111.

Therefore, on the voting ticket 111, 16 information necessary for a refund are magnetically recorded and printed.

If the desired refund cannot be made just by obtaining the information magnetically recorded on the voting ticket 111, the refund is made based on the printed information.

In the present invention, even if magnetically recorded information cannot be obtained for some reason, refunds can be made based on the printed information.

In other words, on the front of the voting ticket 311, the place name 41j1351 has r place name j, and the ceremony column 353 has ``r ceremony name'', which is the newly created 9-digit 3-line code under the ceremony name column 353. "r number code string" is printed in column +trjl 355.

(iii) Disbursing device q FIG. 4 shows a refund device 320 that is compatible with the present invention.

This refund device 320 is installed at a place where dividends for winning tickets are paid out, and a plurality of devices having the same configuration are connected to the host computer 210 on the center side via a public line 219. Here, one refund device 320 is shown.

This refund device 320 has a control section 321 (consisting of a CPU, for example) that controls the entire device 3111, and can communicate with a host computer 210 connected to a public line 219 via a line control section 323. .

Connected to the control unit 321 are a display unit 325 that displays a predetermined display when the voting ticket 311 is refunded, and a keyboard 327 for inputting data required for the refund.

In the case of a refund, the inserted voting ticket 311 is transferred to the conveyance path 3.
The magnetic data on the voting ticket 311 is read by a magnetic reading section 329 that is conveyed along the voting ticket 33 and connected to the control section 321 . The magnetic reading section 329 includes a magnetic head for reading.

The processed voting ticket 311 that has undergone the refund process is transported along the transport path 333 and then stored in the storage section 340. By the way, this storage section 340
For this purpose, the storage device of the patent ``Paper sheet stacking state detection device'' dated November 5, 1988, which was already proposed by the present applicant, can be applied.

1-]■I Doshin Group The operation of the above-mentioned configuration will be explained below with reference to the drawings. 5 and 6 show display screens when a refund is made using the refund device shown in FIG. 4. Hereinafter, FIGS. 2 to 6 will be referred to.

In Figure 2 of the 11th arc, various data related to the race that are collectively managed by the host computer 210 are sent to the public line 2.
19 to the voting ticket vending machine 220. The control unit 221 of the voting ticket vending machine 220 controls the line control unit 223 to take in data from the host computer 210.

An operator who issues a voting ticket 311 using this voting ticket sales a220 operates the keyboard 227 while looking at the display section 225 to communicate with the host combination 1-tater 210, and determines the race for which the voting ticket 311 should be issued. about"
Order to issue voting tickets. In response to this command, the control unit 2
21 edits data to be recorded on the voting ticket 311 based on the data received from the host computer 210 and information such as the framework and amount specified by the voting ticket purchaser. The edited data is stored in the data holding unit 213.

When the data editing is completed in this way, in response to the previous operation of the "issue" key by the operator, the control unit 221 causes the voting ticket supply unit 229 to assign the built-in voting ticket base roll 231 to a predetermined value. Command to send out only the length. The voting ticket piece supply unit 229 cuts the voting ticket piece base roll 231 into a length corresponding to the size of the voting ticket 311 and sends it to the conveyance path 2.
Send it out along 33. However, the means for conveying the voting ticket 311 along the conveyance path 233 is omitted.

On the paper surface of the voting ticket 311 that has been conveyed along the conveyance path 233 to the location where the printing section 217 is installed, the printing section 217 prints the stored information based on the data stored in the data holding section 213. Print by print head. As shown in FIG. 3, on the voting ticket 311, "r venue name" and "r venue name j" are printed in the venue name column 351 and ceremony category column 353 so as to correspond to each other, respectively, as shown in FIG. In addition, like other conventional voting tickets, data such as the race being held and the framework are printed.

By the way, in the voting ticket vending machine 220 according to the embodiment of the present invention, on the front side of the voting ticket 311, a "numeric code string" is specified in the code string column 355, which is divided into three columns and specified below the formula column 353.
is printed separately. The data printed in the code string column 355 as a numeric code string means the "minimum data required for refund" later. For example, the race name
, "by formula", and other data, which are divided into appropriate numbers of digits and combined. These data are usually digitized as described with respect to the prior art. Since it is stored in the data holding unit 213 as a numerical code, the code can be converted into a number as it is and printed in the code string column 355 of the voting ticket 311 by the printing unit 217.

After being printed by the printing unit 217 in this way, the voting ticket 311
is transported along the transport path 233 to the installation location of the magnetic recording section 215. Based on the data stored in the data holding section 213, the magnetic recording section 215 uses its built-in magnetic head to write on the magnetic film back surface of the voting ticket 311 that has been conveyed. However, the magnetic recording section 21
The data magnetically recorded by 5 includes the data previously printed by the printing unit 217, and also includes other management information and the like. Therefore, if you look at the printed and magnetically recorded voting tickets 311, the following "minimum data required for refunds" are commonly given.

Next, the printed and magnetically recorded voting ticket 311 is conveyed along the conveyance path 233 to a location where the magnetic reading section 235 is installed. The magnetic reading unit 235 reads the voting ticket 31 that has been conveyed.
It has a magnetic head facing the back surface of the magnetic film 1, reads data recorded on the magnetic surface by the magnetic recording section 215, and supplies the read data to the control section 221.

The control unit 221 compares the read data obtained by the magnetic reading unit 235 and the edited data stored in the data holding unit 213. If both data match, the voting ticket 311 is judged to have data recorded well, and the voting ticket 311 is released from an ejection port (not shown) to the purchaser of the voting ticket 311. Issued. Note that since the same edited data stored in the data holding unit 213 is printed and magnetically recorded, it is possible to determine whether or not the data printed on the voting ticket 311 is normal by inspecting the magnetically recorded data. , inspection of print data is omitted.

By the way, if both the read data and the edited data supplied to the control 1 section 221 do not match, it is assumed that the data recording on the voting ticket 311 is defective.
The control unit 221 instructs the voting ticket vending machine 220 to store the voting ticket in a storage unit (not shown) installed together with the ticket vending machine 220. As a result, the defective voting ticket 311 is stored inside and the conveyance path 2
33, it is not discharged from the discharge port. In that case, the control unit 221 may instruct the reissue.

(ii) Motion of the problem - If the voting ticket 311 issued as described above turns out to be a winning ticket after it is confirmed, a refund will be required. A refund device 320 for making the refund is shown in FIG.

The refund device 320 shown in FIG. It has already been obtained from host computer 210 by communicating with host computer 210 via public line 219 .

When the voting ticket 311 is inserted into a voting ticket slot (not shown) of the refund device 320, it is conveyed along the conveyance path 333. First, the magnetic reader 329 reads the voting ticket 3.
Eleven magnetically recorded data are read. The control unit 321 receives this read data and performs necessary information for refunds, such as ``Whether it is a winning ticket or not'', ``How much is the dividend?'', ``Whether or not it is a legitimately issued voting ticket?'' make a judgment.

Based on the reading, the display unit 325 displays necessary information to the operator. The operator issues the dividend by looking at the display screen. When such a refund process is performed, the processed voting ticket 311 is conveyed along the conveyance path 333 according to a command from the control unit 321, and is stored in the storage unit 340 as a “processed voting ticket”.

The above is the normal refund operation.

(iii) Due to reasons such as the fact that the recorded data on the magnetic surface of the voting ticket 311 cannot be read by the magnetic reading unit 329 by normal magnetic reading as described above, the desired refund cannot be made. There may be cases where this is not possible.

As described above, first, even if the voting ticket 311 is inserted into the voting ticket slot of the refund device 320, the magnetic reader 329
If the read data is not supplied to the control unit 321 from the control unit 321, the voting ticket 311 conveyed along the conveyance path 333 is not stored in the storage unit 340, and the voting ticket 311 is not stored in the storage unit 340, and the voting ticket 311 is sent to the discharge port (not shown).
Release it once. At the same time, the control unit 321 instructs the display unit 325 to display a display screen as shown in FIG. In other words, the code string set area 55 on the display screen
Use the cursor to instruct 5 to enter the numerical code.

By displaying the screen as shown in FIG. 5 and ejecting the voting ticket 311, the operator can confirm that the voting ticket 311 has been inserted into the magnetic reader 32.
I know that I cannot get a refund by reading 9. Then, the operator looks at the numerical code printed on the code string MA355 on the surface of the released voting ticket 311, and operates the numerical keys on the keyboard 327 to sequentially input the numerical code while referring to the numerical code. In the example here, ro123456
78...''. This number is encoded with the minimum data necessary for refunds, such as the ``venue name'' and ``type'' of the race being held.

Based on the data sequentially input by the operator, the control '41
(3) The unit 321 receives data obtained through communication with the host computer 210 and determines whether the ticket is a winning ticket or not.
Make necessary judgments when making refunds, such as ``How much is the winnings?'' and ``Whether or not the voting ticket was legitimately issued.'' Regarding the voting ticket 311 to be refunded, the operator is informed of the framework and payout at that time by a display as shown in FIG. Based on this display, the operator issues the dividend, and then inserts the refunded voting ticket 311 from another "processed voting ticket slot" (not shown) in the storage section 340. . Therefore,
The refund is stored in the storage section 340 in the same manner as a normal refund.

(2) - Summary of Examples In this way, the minimum information required for a refund is printed in the code column 355 of the voting ticket 311 at the time of issuance, apart from the magnetic record. At the refund stage, if the magnetic recording information cannot be obtained for some reason, the printed 1! Based on the If report, the operator can input the data necessary for refund. Therefore, it becomes convenient to refund the voting ticket 311.

v, -B o'-) In the embodiment of the present invention described above, when the voting ticket vending machine 220 issues the voting ticket 311, the code column 355 of the voting ticket 311 is ”, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, each digit may be printed in a standardized barcode representation. In that case, the refund device 320 side may prepare a bar code reader, supply the read data to the control unit 321, and perform the refund in the same manner as in the case based on the reading by the magnetic reader 329. The point is that data encoded in a format that can be read at the time of refund is sent to the voting ticket vending machine 220.
The code string column 35 of the control unit 321 is printed by the printing unit 217 of
5, and the refund device 320 side only needs to be able to read the encoded data. In reality, it is more effective to use an automatic reading device such as a barcode reader and use the read data when making a refund, as there are fewer operational errors, rather than entering numbers visually.

In addition, although it was determined only by the magnetic reading section 235 whether or not data was correctly printed and magnetically recorded on the voting ticket 311 by the voting ticket vending machine 220, an optical means was added to determine whether or not the data was printed on the voting ticket 311 normally. Data may also be checked. For example, if the data is printed in barcode format, it is possible to add a barcode reader and supply the read data to the control unit 221 to determine whether or not the data printing on the voting ticket 311 is normal. .

Although the voting ticket piece base roll 231 is sent out from the voting ticket piece dispensing unit 229 of the voting ticket vending machine 220, cut into a predetermined length, and then conveyed along the conveyance path 233, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, once the voting ticket single base roll 231 is fed out by a predetermined length, the printing unit 2
17, magnetically recorded in the magnetic recording section 215, and then conveyed along the conveyance path 233.

In that case, the printing head of the printing section 217 and the writing head of the magnetic recording section 215 are made to face each other, and the voting ticket single-base roll 231 is sent out between them, so that printing and recording can be performed simultaneously, thereby shortening the issuing time of the voting ticket 311. .

The above-mentioned voting ticket 311 is not only for horse racing, bicycle racing, auto racing, etc., but also for tickets that will be refunded later based on the magnetic recording information of the voting ticket 311.
The same can generally be said about cards and the like. In other words, the present invention can be applied to devices that require monetary "refunds" for such ticket cards and the like.

Furthermore, in "1. Correspondence between Examples and FIG. 1",
Although the correspondence between FIG. 1 and the present invention has been described, those skilled in the art will easily imagine that the present invention is not limited to this and that there are various modifications.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, information necessary for later refunds is printed on the voting ticket at the stage of issuance of the voting ticket, thereby eliminating the need to obtain magnetically recorded information at the time of refunding. However, the refund can be made based on the printed information, which is extremely useful in practical terms.
