It can be transmitted to the terminal 2 of one acquaintance (S150). The photographing unit 150 may be connected to a camera installed at various points of the stadium, control the photographing angle and the focus of the camera, and store the photographed result.

The acquaintances contact unit 130 may transmit to the terminal 2 of the acquaintance, what kind of results the player who received the cheering at the turn at bat. For example, if a player hits after displaying a cheering message, "Kim Chul-soo hit with a cheer", "Kim Chul-soo has been struck out despite cheering. You can send a support result message to the acquaintance's terminal (2). As a result, acquaintances will be waiting for what grades their support will lead to and will be interested in the player's game.

Hits / 2. doubles / 3. triples / 4. home run / 5. four-balls / 6. out) "to send the expected grade-quality message and choose the number of at-bats and at-bat results in those at-bats. can do.

An acquaintance may transmit a predicted grade-response message to the acquaintance contact unit 130 by selecting which at-bat result (on-base result) from the at-bat turn through the terminal 2 (S230). For example, an acquaintance may select to hit a double at the second plate at terminal 2 and transmit an expected grade response message to the acquaintance contact unit 130.

The electronic scoreboard control unit 140 may display an acquaintance who has matched the athlete's game result (at batting result) on the scoreboard 1 after the on-base result of the athlete's turn is determined (S240). In addition, the acquaintance contact unit 130 may transmit a message indicating a match result prediction message and a message indicating the result of the athlete's image or the turn at the shooting unit 150 to the acquaintance's terminal 2 to match the player's game results.

The electronic board controller 140 continuously displays randomly the prizes to be provided to acquaintances who match the athlete's game results at a predetermined time interval from the time the player appears at the plate, and the prize transmission unit 160 displays the game results of the player. Prize coupons for the prizes displayed at the time of the occurrence (for example, the final judgment decision time of the referee for the plate at bat) can be transmitted to the terminal 2 of the acquaintances who matched the athlete's performance. In other words, while the player is hitting at the plate, various items are displayed on the display board 1 continuously and are changed. At that point, the prizes displayed on the scoreboard will go to the acquaintances who matched the player's performance.

If there are two or more acquaintances who matched the athlete's performance, all of them may be displayed on the scoreboard (1), the prize coupons may be sent to all of them, and only the acquaintances who first sent the expected score response message will be displayed on the scoreboard (1). It may be. As a result, only the first acquaintance who sent the expected graded answer message can receive the prize, thereby inducing the rapid transfer of the estimated graded reply message.

On the other hand, the prize transmission unit 160 may increase the advertising effect by transmitting the advertising content associated with the prize coupon, while transmitting the prize coupon to the terminal (2) of the acquaintances who matched the match of the athlete.
