Description

Transparent and fair instant drawing system and method therefor}

The present invention relates to a transparent and fair instant lottery system and method thereof.

Many sites on the Internet use a variety of methods, including free services, competitions, and giveaways to attract more members and gain access. Among them, a lot of prizes and prizes are used to draw winners by using the lottery. At present, there are widespread doubts about the transparency and fairness of the lottery, but a method has been proposed to publicize the lottery method in advance, notify the result upon completion, and verify the procedure (Patent Publication: 10-2000- 054827). However, this invention has a limitation that it cannot be applied to instant lottery.

The company hosting the event for the instant lottery is explained to be fair according to the random sampling method, but no one explains the specific procedure and few people can understand the explanation. Therefore, many people have various doubts about the probability of winning an instant lottery, whether the lottery is fair, and how to draw. These doubts have a negative impact on the value of the instant lottery as a marketing tool.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems,

It is an object of the present invention to develop an instant lottery method in which anyone can understand and guarantee radioness.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an instant lottery system and method for releasing an instant lottery method and a probability of winning a prize.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a lottery system and method for allowing applicants to increase their odds of winning through their own efforts to participate more actively.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a transparent and fair instant lottery system and method by which applicants can easily verify the lottery procedures and results.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In order for the lottery process to be transparent and fair, the user and the site may share information which is a clue of the lottery, and judge whether or not to win based on the clue. Time is information that can be shared between the user and the site and can be a useful clue in that it is variable and quantified. With the development of communication technology, the time between user and site can be synchronized at 1/100 second (10msec) level (using ActiveX, etc.). Therefore, either the user or the site can arbitrarily control the access time, and the entry time that the user can try to control but cannot actually select as a clue, and decide whether to win by comparing the two clues. By allowing notification and verification of the procedure, transparent and fair instant draws are possible.

That is, in the present invention, in order to provide a transparent and fair lottery method to the Internet user, the site specifically discloses the lottery rules in advance, discloses the access time and entry time, which are the lottery clues, and verifies the lottery procedure and results. It is intended to propose an instant lottery system and method which is characterized as being made possible.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the procedure is performed, in which the user logs in to the site hosting the event (S11), synchronizes the time between the site and the user and records an access time in units of 10 msec. Informing the drawing rules (S21), the step in which the user performs the entry task (S12), the site inputs the entry time in 10msec unit based on this step of determining whether to win and notify the user (S22) ), The user recognizes the result of the notification (S13), verify to verify the accuracy (S14), or re-execut the challenge (S15) shows that the configuration is composed. The procedure corresponds to a one-time task such as quiz, application, scratching the advertisement, and the complex lottery task, which is given a chance to redraw in the future, goes through a step (S24) in which the clues are recorded in the post-lottery server.

2 is an example 210 of an initial screen shown when the user connects to participate in an instant raffle event. Simultaneously with the user accessing the instant lottery screen 21, the site synchronizes the time between the user and both sites using AtiveX, records the time in units of 1/100 second (S211), and the access time. (S211) and rules (S212) to be used for the lottery are notified to the user. When connecting the connection time, it is preferable to convert it to a decimal number with a basic unit of 1/100 second.

The drawing method guide area 412 of FIG. 2 shows that the drawing is determined based on the difference between the clues. In this case, the probability of winning the user is most noticed. The example presented shows two cases where the odds of winning are 1/10, 1/100, that is, the last one is the same (second) or the second two are the same (first).

In general, instant lottery events tend to be designed to have low rewards and high odds of winning. Of course, various odds and rules can be applied depending on the purpose of the event. However, if you have a very small chance of winning (i.e. 1 / 100,000) with an instant lottery, the long time of 1,000,000 msec, that is, 16 minutes and 40 seconds It costs. The instant lottery entry of such a task may not be realistic, so the adoption of another method is desirable (eg 62 in FIG. 3).

The general procedure in which the instant lottery is made is that when the user accesses the site, the lottery cue 1, that is, the digitized access time (s211 or 411) is obtained, and the lottery method (s212) is disclosed to the user, and the recognition is made. When the user performs the entry action (S12), the site records the entry time as clue 2 (S221), collects clues 1 and 2 as presented in the lottery method (S222), and compares the judgment (S223). The result is notified in real time to the user in the form of the lottery result guide area 61 of FIG. 3 (S13).

3 is a practical example of a form in which the result of the drawing 61 is notified together with the drawing rule 62 and the verification function 63. Through this screen, the user is a compound lottery event with a separate lottery opportunity after the event (612), applied a lottery rule (62) other than the simple four rules operation, and wins the prize with a probability of 1 / 10,000. It can be seen that it can be verified, and can be verified through the presented calculator (63).

The lottery rule 62 of FIG. 3 shows that the square root is used as the random number determination method. There are many kinds of pseudorandom number generation that generate random numbers through a series of arithmetic calculations, but there are few methods that can be easily understood and executed by the general public. The area below the decimal point of the square root of the integer value is well-characterized as a random number (Fig. 4), and it is easy to conceptually understand by the general public and the calculator operation procedure for verification is simple.

Fig. 4 shows the distribution of the cases belonging to the 100 categories, i.e. 00 to 99, which would have obtained the square root of all numbers from 1 to 100.000, rounded to the third place of the decimal point of the value, and then taken the first two places. . The values for each category with an expected value of 1,000 range from a relatively small range of at least 967 (category 13 and 88) to up to 1037 (category 87), with values outside the expected ± 10 (below 990 and above 1110) ranged from 6 categories. The standard deviation was 8.04. This shows that the square root is an excellent pseudo random number generation method that is not only easy to understand but also securely wireless.

In addition, the square root has the advantage that the operation is simple for the user to verify through a calculator. In the calculation area 615 of FIG. 3, the results of calculating the two clues according to the lottery rule 62 are presented, and the calculation result 616 shows that the winning result is won. The users can immediately verify the lottery rule 62 and the lottery result 61 using the calculator provided in the calculator area 63.

There is a simpler way that is useful when the odds of winning are high. The winning time is the winning completion time which is a multiple of the denominator of the winning probability. For example, if the probability of winning is 1/5, the end of the clue is 05, 10, 15, ---, etc., and the case of 1/10 is 10, 20, 30, ---, etc., the winning number.

As described above, according to the present invention, in connection with the instant lottery on the Internet, which was conventionally a black box, the lottery method, the probability of winning and the conditions are disclosed to the applicant in advance, and anyone can easily verify the result. It is possible to make it possible. The present invention will transform the instant lottery procedures and results to be transparent and fair to develop a more reliable Internet marketing means.
