A composite voting ticket issuing machine that automatically issues the composite voting ticket by using a composite voting ticket that records the voting details of multiple group numbers on one voting ticket, and A voting system is in use in which a host processor is connected to a large number of refund machines that automatically issue refunds in exchange for voting tickets.

As shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG. 3, this composite voting ticket issuing machine is composed of an issuing machine main body 1 and an operating section 20, and this issuing machine main body includes a processor 2 and a processor 2 for controlling the issuing machine and the operating section as a whole. A memory 3 and a modem 4 for communicating with a host processor are connected to each other to a bus 10,
This bus 10 includes a printing fR6 that prints the target race and voting group number on the voting paper having a magnetic recording section supplied from the paper feed section 5, a magnetic recording section 7 that performs magnetic recording, and a magnetic recording section 7 that records the information on the voting ticket. a magnetic reading section 8 that reads the data;
A discarded ticket processing unit 9 that controls a selector 11 that sorts voting tickets to be issued and voting tickets to be stored, and a printing unit 12 that prints a copy of the issued ticket are further connected.

Further, the operation section 20, which includes a keyboard section 21'J6 and a display device 22, is connected to the bus 10.
This keyboard section 21 is provided with a change button 23 that is operated when changing the contents of the vote.

The voting paper from the paper feed section 5 in the issuing machine main body 1 is passed from the passage 13 through the printing section 6, the magnetic recording section 7, and the magnetic reading section 8, and after being inspected by printing, magnetic recording, and magnetic reading, it is sent from the ticket issuing slot 14. Voting tickets that are released to voters but are incorrectly issued or filled in incorrectly are stored in a stacker 15 by a selector 11 controlled by a waste ticket processing section 9.

The issuing machine body is provided with an insertion slot 16 into which the issued voting ticket is inserted, and an insertion button 17 near this insertion slot. The voting ticket is configured so that it can be read by the magnetic reading section 8 by inserting it through the insertion slot 16. For example, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. After operating the "change button" 0, the once issued voting ticket is read by this reading mechanism as described above, the voting ticket is stored in the stacker 14, and the voting data is subtracted from the sales. After transmitting the data to the host processor, data to be added to the sales is transmitted to the host processor by inputting the corrected voting data again to 0, and a change voting process is performed in which a composite voting ticket is issued again. is possible.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, regarding the refund process in which the voting fee for the canceled group number is returned to the voter when any group number is canceled before the result of the race for which they voted is determined,
None of the above-mentioned conventional composite voting ticket issuing machines and refund machines are equipped with this function.

The fourth object of the present invention is to provide a voting system in which the functions of the conventional composite voting ticket issuing machine are expanded and the above-mentioned return processing is performed by this composite voting ticket issuing machine.

[Means for solving problems]

The host processor has a function to memorize the set number that is being returned, and when there is a request for change processing from the composite voting ticket issuing machine, this change processing is performed. In addition to adding a function to determine whether the program number that is being returned is included,
The composite voting ticket issuing machine was provided with a display device that displayed the amount of money to be returned through the above-mentioned return process.

[For production]

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the principle of the present invention,
When the host processor is requested to perform the change process by manually pressing the "change button" on the composite voting ticket issuing machine and reading the composite voting ticket to be changed, the host processor returns the stored return process. identify whether or not the series number is recorded on the read composite voting ticket, and if the series number being returned is not recorded, notify the composite voting ticket issuing machine to that effect; This issuing machine performs the conventional processing described above with reference to FIG.

When the host processor identifies that there is a set number that is being returned based on the information from the composite voting ticket issuing machine, it calculates the amount to be returned for the set number that is currently being returned and returns it to the issuing machine. The amount will be displayed on the display device, and composite voting tickets for the remaining group numbers will be issued from this issuing machine.
I decided to do so. Note that it is clear that the refunded amount may be returned to the voter.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of the present invention in which the present invention is applied to a composite voting ticket issuing machine having the configuration shown in FIG. When a voting ticket whose voting contents are the three group numbers shown in FIG. The read set numbers A, B, and C are sent to the host processor (3)
be done.

The host processor that receives the information from this composite voting ticket issuing machine determines whether or not the return processing is being performed (4), and if the return processing is being performed, it then adds this information to the information from this issuing machine. Determine whether there is a program number being returned, for example C1 (5), and if so, calculate the refund amount (
6) returns the return information to the issuing machine and displays it on the display device 2.
1 to display the refund amount (7), process the discarded ticket, and release the composite voting ticket inserted into the slot into the discarded ticket slot (8)
), and performs a ticket issuing process (9) in which a new composite voting ticket is issued for group numbers A and B to which the return process has not been applied.

At this time, if the return process has not been carried out or if the information from the issuing machine does not include the set number being returned, the inserted voting ticket will be considered as requesting cancellation. Series number ASBS written on the voting ticket
After performing the cancellation process αQ for each of C, the issuing machine is notified of the canceled amount (6), and if necessary, the amount is displayed on the display device, and at the same time, the composite voting ticket inserted into the insertion slot is discarded. Process it and store it in a stacker.

When a vote for corrected set numbers ASB and D corresponding to the canceled amount is cast from the keyboard section, this voting information is sent to the host processor,
Voting processing similar to new voting is performed and ASB, D
The change process is completed by performing a ticket issuing process that creates a voting ticket for the group number and releases it to the voters.

In addition, as mentioned above, if the composite voting ticket that has been returned is released from the ticket issuing slot, it is possible to do so in the event of a large number of returns or changes, such as when the favorite number is cancelled. You can avoid problems such as the stocker becoming full.
