How to re-draw a small lottery {Method of Extracting Winning Lottery to Low Price}

The present invention relates to a method for re-drawing a lottery ticket that has been won in small amounts. And the winning lottery is repurchased as a new lottery, and relates to a method of selecting the owner of a new lottery using the lottery number.

The dictionary meaning of lottery is a lot that gives a lot more prize money than the value of the ticket for the tickets won through the drawing process by selling the numbered or marked mark by the state or public agency. Types of lottery include housing lottery, chance lottery, toto lottery, sports lottery, technical lottery, double lottery, corporate lottery for SME support, welfare lottery for worker welfare promotion, autonomous lottery for community development, Jeju Island development A total of 12 lotteries are issued by eight institutions, including tourism lottery tickets and Toto lotteries that match the results. In addition, lotteries may be issued for events or prizes at companies.

These lotteries have been sold to ordinary consumers by printing on papers or the like at lottery shops or newsstands. However, with the rapid development of the Internet, lotteries that were printed on paper are now being released electronically. To this end, various sites appearing on the Internet for the sale of electronic lotteries.

The electronic lottery, which is released through the Internet, is a lottery that has been assigned a number of lotteries by the lottery issuing agency by allocating a part of the total number of copies. No paper lottery is printed for this electronic lottery. The rest will be released through paper stalls as paper lotteries. However, in recent years, electronic lotteries have also appeared, which are not sold as paper lotteries.

The electronic lottery ticket released through the Internet only informs the buyer of the lottery number. In case of winning a small amount, it is paid to the deposit account registered by credit card payment, bankbook payment, bank transfer, electronic money, etc. to buy the lottery. This deposit account is a kind of personal bank account on the Internet.

The present invention utilizes a system for releasing a lottery ticket through the Internet. Of course, it may also include a lottery ticket released in paper. In the case of the paper lottery, a step of registering the paper lottery is required in advance, and the step further includes collecting the paper lottery. Therefore, although it can be used for a lottery with a time margin, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to perform when a short time such as a lottery that is drawn on a weekly basis.

Therefore, the present invention is preferably organically connected to the lottery sale currently implemented through the Internet. The lottery sale currently implemented on the Internet is carried out through the Internet from the release to payment of winnings, it will be able to implement more effectively if using the conventional lottery release system.

An object of the present invention is to electronically register a number of lottery tickets win a small amount of the lottery released through online / offline at the same time give a lottery number, the winning lottery is repurchased as a new lottery, using the lottery number To provide a way to select the owner of a new lottery.

To this end, the present invention requires the process of collecting the paper lottery by receiving and recording the personal information of the winner with respect to the lottery ticket released through offline. It may also optionally include an authentication process to determine whether the owner of the paper lottery is a legitimate person.

The following drawings attached to this specification are illustrative of preferred embodiments of the present invention, and together with the detailed description of the invention to serve to further understand the technical spirit of the present invention, the present invention is a matter described in such drawings It should not be construed as limited to

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Prior to this, terms or words used in the specification and claims should not be construed as having a conventional or dictionary meaning, and the inventors should properly explain the concept of terms in order to best explain their own invention. Based on the principle that can be defined, it should be interpreted as meaning and concept corresponding to the technical idea of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments described in the specification and the drawings shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical idea of the present invention, various modifications that can be replaced at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be equivalents and variations.

Prior to the description, the term 'winner' used in the present specification refers to a person who owns a lottery ticket that has been won by a lottery at the institution that issues the lottery, and the 'lottery' is a person newly selected by the central control unit. Means owner.

Hereinafter, an apparatus for implementing the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 1, a device implementing the present invention includes a winner interface 300, a modem 350, a central controller 200, and a line 100. Each line 100 is connected through an Internet connection using a public switched telephone network (PSTN) provided by Korea Telecom. This line 100 may also be used by a dedicated line, which is provided by various operators such as Megapass of Korea Telecom, ADSL of Hanaro Telecom, Borahomenet of Dacom, and Synchro of SK.

The interface 300 is a winner computer connected to the central controller 200. It is connected to the network interface 270 of the central control unit 200 through the line 100 connected to the modem 350.

Using these arrangements, the winner enters the number of the winning lottery ticket in small sums. The central controller 200 generates a new lottery number according to the lottery number.

In FIG. 2, the central controller 200 may include an operation unit (CPU) 210, a RAM 230, a ROM 220, an operating system 240, a network interface 270, and data. Storage medium 250 and processor 260 for recording.

A traditional personal computer or workstation with a significant amount of memory and processing power can be used as the central controller 200. In one embodiment it acts as a server to generate a lottery number through a lottery number entered by the winner. At least one of these lottery numbers is selected to select a new lottery winner.

The central control unit 200 is a device designed to perform a large amount of work by executing a huge amount of mathematical calculations in information processing or database search.

The storage device 250 for recording data may include magnetic or optical storage devices such as a CD-ROM drive, a flash memory, and a hard disk. The data storage 250 includes a settings database 251, a winner database 252, a buyer database 253, a classifier database 254, and a winning lottery database 255 to redraw the lottery in accordance with the present invention. The data used in the process is recorded.

The setting database 251 records the winning lottery tickets entered in the winner interface. This lottery number will be used to purchase a new lottery later.

The winner database 252 includes a record of a person who has bought a lottery ticket for a predetermined amount in the lottery ticket sold through the server 200. In the process of purchasing the lottery ticket at least once through the server 200, the winner is recorded with personal information in the buyer database 253. Personal information includes things related to the buyer, such as name, social security number, contact information, address, etc. If there is no purchase fact, the process of recording the winning lottery number further includes recording the buyer's personal information.

The classification identifier database 254 is generated by the central control apparatus 200 based on the lottery number, and records the lottery number assigned to each winner in order to distinguish the winners.

The winning lottery database 255 includes information of the winning lottery. This includes information about the lottery, such as the type of lottery, the lottery, the winning number, and the due date. The paper lottery collected is compared with these records to confirm that it is a valid lottery.

The network interface 270 is a gateway for the winners and the central processing unit 200 to exchange information through each winner interface 300. Internal and external modems, including conventional LAN cards, function as the network interface 270. However, it should be able to maintain a number of winners and tracks (100).

Processor 260 generates a lottery number based on the lottery number entered by the winner, including generation module 261, purchase module 262, selection module 263, output module 264, and analysis module 265. The lottery winner is selected by selecting at least one lottery number.

Further, in this process, the setting database is modified by purchasing a new lottery ticket having the same exchange value as the lottery ticket number and recording the new lottery ticket number.

The output module 264 electronically transmits the new lottery to the selected lottery.

The generation module 261 automatically generates a classification identifier for classifying the winner according to the lottery number input through the winner interface 300.

The purchase module 262 modifies the setting database by purchasing a new lottery ticket. The new lottery purchased is a valid lottery with no current draw. Preferably, the new lottery may be purchased electronically by the server 200, and may be purchased electronically in the step of the winner entering the lottery number into the central controller 200.

The selection module 263 is a means for selecting at least one of the generated lottery numbers. The method conventionally used can be used as it is. For example, it may be programmed to select the same classifier using the stock price index of the lottery date, or programmatically classify the classifier.

The output module 264 electronically transmits the lottery ticket to at least one lottery person selected in the lottery. Electronic communication means such as e-mail and fax may be used, or alternatively, a lottery ticket release system may be used.

The analysis module 265 interprets the purchase condition recorded by the winner. New facts under the purchase condition will be reflected in the databases, and all new facts resulting from the purchase condition will be interpreted through this module 265 and reflected in the others.

Although one computer has been described as acting as the central processing unit 200 in the above embodiment, those skilled in the art will recognize that the functionality may be distributed over a plurality of computers. In addition, in the present specification, the lottery number is used as a record indicating the winning lottery ticket, but for example, a resident registration number of the winner may be used. For this reason, in the present specification, an identifier is used as a term that distinguishes it from now on, and for the same reason, a lottery number uses a classification identifier.

In FIG. 3 there is a winner interface 300 including a CPU 110, a RAM 330, a ROM 320, a video driver 340, an input device 390, a modem 350 and a data storage device 380. It is being seen. In the description, detailed descriptions of components that are partially the same as those described in FIG. 2 will be omitted.

Authenticator 370 stores the encryption key and is optionally used to identify the winner. This authenticator 370 is used to verify the identity of the winner without buyer information. In general, the identity of the winner is verified by encrypting the electronic document with an encryption key and hashing the electronic document with a corresponding key.

Modem 350 preferably supports ultra-high speed data transmission because the Internet is currently based on TCP / IP based Html.

There is a lot of commercial application software for web page generation and data transmission here, which can make the communication required for the winner interface 300. For example, traditional communication software such as Netscape Navigator's Netscape Navigator's 'explorer' web browser 360 may be used. The winner uses the browser 360 to enter the first identifier.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the winner communicates with the central control unit 200 functioning as a server through the line 100 connected to the interface 300. The winner connects to the central control unit 200 and inputs an identification factor to block the line 100. The identifier is recorded in the configuration database 251, and the processor 260 generates a classifier according to the identifier.

In this process, the winner database 252 is searched to ensure the winner's legality. The relevant personal information is then obtained by searching the buyer database 253. The database is structured in relation to this behavior.

The buyer database 253 includes personal information including the winner's name, social security number, address, deposit account, purchased lottery ticket, and the like. Accordingly, the validity of the winner can be confirmed by searching the identifier, the buyer database 253, and the winner database 252.

A process of recording the identification factor will be described with reference to FIG. 4. In step S110, the winner logs on to the central control apparatus 200 connected to the line 100 using the modem 350 of the interface 300. The central control unit 200 has a worldwide web page for winners to enter information through the interface of traditional web browser 360 software, such as Netescape's "Navigator" or Microsoft's "Explorer."

However, the present invention does not necessarily require a logon step (S110). If the winner is not recorded in the server 200, the method further includes a step of inputting personal information before inputting an identification factor (S112). In this process, the winner records personal information including the social security number, name, address, contact number, account number, etc. in the central control apparatus 200.

In addition, the process includes collecting paper lottery tickets (S115). In the case of lottery tickets sold offline, the winning amount will be received by exchanging the lottery tickets. On the other hand, in the case of an electronic lottery sold online, the winnings are deposited in the form of a deposit. Therefore, the central control unit 200 can use the winning lottery ticket to purchase a new lottery ticket by temporarily suspending the deposit in the case of the electronic lottery ticket.

Optionally, a process of issuing and verifying a certificate may be used to authenticate the winner (S118). A certificate is an electronic document issued by an accredited body that the accredited body proves that the person holding the electronic document is a true person. This technique can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art, and is currently widely used for various internet contents, such as banking, internet banking, and writing encrypted electronic documents.

In step S120, the winner may select the type of the lottery as shown in box 273. Currently, there are 12 types of lottery tickets from 8 institutions including housing lottery, chance lottery, another lottery, sports lottery, technical lottery, double lottery, corporate lottery, welfare lottery, autonomous lottery, tourism lottery. Are included in box 273. The lotteries included in this box will be heavily dependent on the law. The question of what kind of lottery can be used is not a technical problem, but a matter of the society's policy or economy to implement the present invention.

And the description according to the selected lottery ticket is included. This description includes the lottery number and includes descriptions such as purchase form on / offline, winner's name, winner's social security number and address.

Then fill in the purchase conditions. For example, you may want to use 5,000 won to repurchase the winnings and deposit the remaining amount as a deposit.

Those written in step S120 create a purchase condition of the identifier, and the winner transmits it to the central controller 200. Winners can send an identifier by selecting the 'Send' button on the screen.

Winners may send the identification to the central control unit 200 via means such as e-mail or fax, instead of the Internet-based World Wide Web based interface.

These will be written sequentially in the relational database at the central control unit 200 and the winner will be notified of the fact.

Before generating the classification identifier according to the input identification factor, the central controller 200 checks whether the winning lottery ticket is a valid lottery ticket (S130).

The winning lottery purchased through the server 200 is confirmed by comparing the identifier, the buyer database and the winner database. The central control apparatus 200 extracts the lottery number, the winner's name, the winner's resident registration number from the identification factor, and compares the same facts from the winner database 252. The winner's personal information is extracted by checking in the buyer database 253.

On the other hand, in the case of a lottery ticket purchased offline, the personal information included in the identification factor is recorded in the setting database 251 and waits for the arrival of the paper lottery ticket transmitted through the mail. And the validity of the lottery is confirmed by comparing the paper lottery and the identification factor with the winning lottery database (255).

The identification factor transmitted from the interface 300 is applied to the analysis module 265. The identification factor is used here to confirm the legality and conditions of the lottery. For example, if the purchase condition is '5,000 won out of 10,000 won is deposited as a deposit, and a new lottery is purchased with the remaining 5,000 won', the repurchase process checks the winning amount from the winner database 252 and In particular, 5,000 won shall be paid as a deposit. This process can be achieved through the conventional lottery ticket release system. And the remaining part will be used to repurchase the lottery, and will reflect this fact in the winner database 252 (S140).

The generation module 261 creates a classification identifier corresponding to the new lottery number according to the first identification factor and transmits the classification identifier to the winner. Here, all winners evenly generate a classifier based on a certain amount. Optionally, in the process of preparing the identifier, in operation S120, the identifier is created only for a certain amount of money so that one classification identifier is given to the winning lottery ticket of the same amount. On the other hand, when the amount is not limited, the classification identifier is assigned according to the amount determined in the standard. Such a configuration can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art.

According to the identification factor recorded electronically in the database, the central control apparatus 200 purchases a new lottery ticket and corrects the identification record (S150). This process may be included in the process of recording the above-mentioned identification factor. If included in step S120, the lottery ticket will be purchased electronically by the winner's choice through the conventional lottery ticket release system. Then, the corresponding facts are updated. For example, the winner's information is deleted from the winner database 252, while a new lottery with no current owner is recorded in the settings database 251. These lotteries are then owned by the new lottery selected later, and the fact of the lottery is recorded in the winner database 252 so that the new lottery is delivered to the lottery.

On the other hand, if the step is separated, the central control unit 200 checks the record of the winner database 252 and that recorded in the identification factor collectively to purchase a new lottery. The new lottery ticket is a valid lottery ticket with no current lottery draw.

Purchased lottery tickets are not owned by the winner and will be awarded to at least one winner selected during the subsequent winner selection process. Therefore, the purchased lottery is temporarily stored in the setting database 251.

The central controller 200 selects at least one classification identifier from the storage device 250 (S160). This process can be reversed from the previous step. This process is possible by using a conventional lottery ticket release system. Looking at the conventionally used method, it is possible to program the classification identifier corresponding to the stock index of the lottery date to win, it is also possible to extract the number written in the programmatically random number. This process may be used without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Correct the facts for at least one selected lottery winner. For example, a new lottery recorded in the setting database 251 is delivered by resetting the winner database 252 of the lottery, and the facts recorded in the setting database 251 are deleted. The output module 264 extracts the personal information from the buyer database 253 or the second identifier, notifies the lottery of the selected fact, and electronically sends the new lottery purchased in the step (S170).

If the 'sending paper lottery' is added as a purchase condition in the step of recording the identification factor, the paper lottery is sent by mail or the like. However, in this case, only the winning lottery ticket corresponding to the identification factor set by all the winners can be repurchased as a paper lottery ticket.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is intended by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible within the scope of equivalents of the claims to be described.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a method for selecting a new owner of a newly purchased lottery through a winning lottery, and the present invention can have the effect of creating a new added value with a new sales model. Furthermore, since the conventional release system can be used as it is, no new investment is required. Therefore, the initial investment cost can be minimized.
