Abstract

PURPOSE:To manually pay back money only for tickets to which a read defect mark is added and to relax the confusion by adding the read defect mark if a winning ticket cannot be read in an automatic pari-mutuel paying-back machine which pays back money for winning tickets after a race. CONSTITUTION:The surface of a pari-mutuel ticket 17 is read by a read sensor 16, and it is discriminated by a read discriminating part 2 whether the read result is erroneous or not. If it is judged that the surface of the ticket 17 cannot be read, a read defect discrimination signal is sent to a read defect mark adding part 3, and the defect mark is added to the ticket 17. Money is paid back only for tickets, to which the defect mark is added, in a manual paying window to relax the confusion.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] This is an automatic voting ticket refund machine that inserts a voting ticket after a race and releases a payout corresponding to the winning ticket, which cannot be read due to incorrect handling of the voting ticket. Therefore, a reading defect marking section is provided that operates according to instructions from the reading determination section to stamp a mark indicating that it cannot be read on the unreadable winning ticket, and the reading fault marking section stamps the stamp. The customer then submits the voting ticket to the manual payment counter and receives the refund, but since voting tickets without this stamp are not handled at the manual payment counter, congestion can be alleviated.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an automatic voting ticket dispensing machine that, when a winning voting ticket cannot be read, stamps a mark indicating that it cannot be read and returns it to the customer.

Refunds corresponding to the winning numbers of voting tickets for public events such as horse racing, bicycle racing, auto racing, boat racing, etc. can be read by automatic voting ticket refund machines that automatically pay by inserting voting tickets, and by automatic voting ticket refund machines. There is a manual payment counter where you can pay the refund if there is an instruction that the ticket cannot be read on the display or voice, but immediately after the race, the automatic voting ticket refund machine has an extremely excited atmosphere. Due to the rush of customers and congestion, some customers will continue to use the manual payment counter without using the automatic voting ticket refund machine, and the manual payment counter will become crowded. It is hoped that an automatic voting ticket refund machine will be created that will stamp the ticket to indicate that it cannot be read by the automatic refund machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional automatic voting ticket refund machines return the voting ticket to the customer if it cannot be read, and also display or audibly display, ``This voting ticket cannot be read.''

Please make a refund at the cashier counter. ”. Customers used these voting tickets to receive their refunds at cash counters staffed by staff.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the case of the conventional automatic voting ticket refund machine mentioned above, immediately after the race, customers rush to the automatic voting ticket refund machine and it becomes very crowded, so some customers will automatically refund the voting ticket if it is normal and can be read. More and more people are using manual payment counters instead of using machines.
There was a problem that manual payment counters were crowded and errors occurred in refund processing.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides a voting ticket refund machine that stamps unreadable winning voting tickets with a mark certifying that they are unreadable.

In other words, the voting ticket cannot be read by the automatic voting ticket refund machine that inserts the voting ticket, reads the voting ticket, and issues a refund corresponding to the winning ticket based on the result of determining whether the voting ticket is a hit or a hit. In this case, the problem can be solved by providing a reading defect stamping section that stamps a mark indicating that the voting ticket cannot be read, and by stamping the reading defect stamp with this scanning defect stamping section and returning it to the customer. Ru.

[Effect]

By installing such an automatic voting ticket refund machine, voting tickets without this mark will not be handled at the manual payment counter, so congestion at the manual payment counter can be alleviated.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an operational system diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, when the customer inserts the voting ticket 17 from the direction of arrow B and the detector 5 detects that the voting ticket 17 has been inserted, the conveyance motor 6 operates and the conveyance roller 7 rotates, causing the voting ticket 17 to be rotated. In this voting ticket reading section 1, the reading sensor 16 reads the recorded information of the voting ticket 17, and the voting ticket 17 is again sent to the stopper 11 by the conveyance roller rough, where the detector 8 reads the recorded information of the voting ticket 17. The voting ticket 17 is detected, and the reading determination unit 2 performs various checks to determine if the recorded information is correct.

Determine whether it was read correctly.

If the recorded information can be read correctly, the recorded information of the voting ticket is transmitted from the interface section 9 to the center computer (not shown) via the main control section 14, and the center computer reads the winning ticket.
If the result is a hit or miss, the refund information is received via the interface section 9 and the main control section 14, and the receiver releases the amount corresponding to the received refund information to the customer at the money dispensing section 10. At the same time, the stopper 11 opens and the voting ticket 17 is thrown into the stacker 12 by the roller 7.

However, due to careless handling of voting ticket 17, for example, voting ticket 1
If the recorded information on the voting ticket 17 cannot be read correctly due to the fact that the recorded information has been erased by bringing a magnetism or the like close to the voting ticket 7, the reading failure marking unit 3 operates based on the reading failure judgment signal output from the reading judgment unit 2. Then, a reading failure mark is stamped on the voting ticket 17, and the display/audio guide unit 13 notifies the customer, ``This voting ticket cannot be read. Please refund at the manual payment counter.'' The motor 6 is reversed and the stamped voting ticket 17 is returned to the customer.

In this way, voting tickets 17 that can be read correctly are paid by the automatic voting ticket refund machine, and voting tickets that cannot be read are paid at the manual payment counter, where the voting ticket 17 is stamped with a misread mark.
Since you will only be paid for the following items, congestion at manual payment counters can be alleviated.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, at the manual payment counter, payments are made only for voting tickets with poorly readable stamps, so congestion can be alleviated and refund processing can be carried out. Mistakes can be prevented.
