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

1 is a block diagram of an exemplary system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the functions of the user's mobile terminal and the base station and the operation relationship between them will be described.

The base station senses the state of the mobile terminal (e.g., power on / power off, busy / idle), and monitors the state whenever a periodic or event transition occurs. : Transmit to MSC). In addition, the base station detects an outgoing call of the mobile phone terminal, establishes a call path, and notifies the incoming call by ringing a bell. In addition, the base station provides a line for the mobile phone terminal to access the wireless Internet network, the instant lottery ticketing is made by a wireless Internet service site established or linked to such a wireless Internet network, the instant lottery ticket purchase, winning confirmation And so on. The services on the wireless Internet, such as ticketing, purchase, and confirmation of instant lottery, are the features of the present invention, and are described in detail in the following sections describing the functions and operational relationships between the instant lottery DB and the instant lottery operating server. Data between the mobile terminal and the base station is encrypted in the process of transmission, so that eavesdropping or tampering is impossible.

Next, a description will be given of the functions of the mobile switching center controller and the instant lottery operation server and the interoperation relationship therebetween.

The mobile telephone switching center controller is installed in each mobile communication company, and when a mobile communication customer attempts voice communication or wireless internet communication through the mobile phone terminal, it connects to the appropriate telephone line or wireless internet network. .

When a mobile communication user wants to access an instant lottery ticket sales site through a mobile phone terminal, the mobile switching center controller connects the user's communication line to the instant lottery server.

Next, the functions of the instant lottery operation server and the instant lottery DB and the interaction between them will be described.

The instant lottery operation server is a computer system that builds and operates an instant lottery sales site on a wireless Internet network. A user who wants to purchase instant lottery tickets on the wireless Internet must first own a mobile phone terminal that can use the wireless Internet service, and then access the instant lottery site established on the wireless internet through this mobile phone terminal. The functions of the instant lottery sales site operated by the instant lottery operation server are classified into three categories: instant lottery purchase, instant lottery winning confirmation, and winning prize money. It sends out a screen that can be used, and has the function to respond appropriately to the information input of the instant lottery purchasers. The function of the instant lottery ticket sales site and the procedure of using the features of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Instant lottery DB is a database system that stores the information of the instant lottery ticketed. The existing instant lottery ticket has a physical form because it is printed on paper, but the instant lottery ticket proposed by the present invention does not have a physical form because it is issued and sold as an electronic symbol. Therefore, in order to distribute and sell the electronic instant lottery ticket, the information of the issued instant lottery ticket must be stored in the database system. Just as the existing instant lottery is issued by physically covering the numbers and letters that determine the winning of the instant lottery, the instant lottery DB encrypts and stores the issued instant lottery to electronically access the instant lottery DB. Even if it is read, it is impossible to determine whether or not each instant lottery is won.

When the purchaser of the lottery requests the lottery purchase, the instant lottery operation server randomly extracts the instant lottery tickets as many as the buyer desired from the instant lottery DB and sends them to the mobile terminal of the purchaser. At this time, the instant lottery DB and the instant lottery operating server record and store the serial numbers of the instant lottery tickets respectively sent out, so that when the instant lottery buyer requests confirmation of the instant lottery ticket, the double lottery ticket is distributed. Improve safety.

Next, the function of the billing system and the interaction between the instant lottery operation server will be described.

Billing System is a computer system that calculates a customer's telephone bill based on each customer's telephone bill in conjunction with a mobile telephone exchange network of a mobile communication company. Each telecommunication company calculates not only the fee for each customer's simple voice call but also charges for the use of various additional services generated in the wireless Internet network, and bills the customer for the service fee for a certain period of time.

When the instant lottery ticket is purchased, the instant lottery operation server transmits information related to the instant lottery ticket to the billing system so that the purchase price of the instant lottery ticket is added to the mobile communication service fee of the instant lottery ticket purchase customer and integrated into the telephone bill. If the instant lottery is won, the instant lottery operation server sends the refund information of the instant lottery ticket to the Billing System to be subtracted from the mobile communication service charges of the instant lottery purchase customers to be integrated billing in the telephone bill.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a member authentication step through the wireless Internet.

A user who wants to access an instant lottery ticket sales site through a wireless internet network should first have a mobile phone terminal that can use a wireless internet service, and access the instant lottery ticket sales site through S20 of FIG. 2. Once a user connects to an instant lottery ticket sales site, he or she must verify his or her identity to purchase an instant lottery ticket. If the user connected to the instant lottery ticket sales site is an existing member of the instant lottery ticket sales site, the user can use the instant lottery ticket purchase service by inputting his / her ID and password in step S21. At this time, in order to prevent the risk of illegal access attempt to the instant lottery sales site, if the password is incorrectly input three or more times, the access may be terminated. The instant lottery ticket sales site provides the instant lottery ticket sale and various services related thereto. The user who has completed the identification can use the service through a method such as inputting an appropriate service number in step S22. If the user who accesses the instant lottery ticket sales site is not an existing member, the instant lottery ticket purchase service can only be used through the membership registration process. It will be described in detail in the section related to Figure 3 of the membership registration.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a membership registration process for a non-member of an instant lottery ticket sales site.

The non-member user who wishes to register must enter a user ID and password which he / she will use to access the instant lottery ticket sales site in step S30. In step S31, the instant lottery operation server determines whether the new ID entered by the user is an ID used by an existing member, and if the ID is still registered, sends an ID reselection message as in step S32 to input a new ID. Requires. If the ID selected by the user is a new ID that can be registered, the password is reconfirmed by causing the user to reenter the password as in step S33. If the password re-entered in step S33 does not match the password entered by the user in step S30, re-entry is requested up to three times. If all three attempts to re-enter the password fail, terminate the service. If the password re-entered in step S33 matches the password entered in step S30, membership registration is successful. If the member registration is successful, as shown in step S35, a message indicating a successful member registration is sent, the member subscription service is terminated, and the process moves to step S23 of FIG. 2 to wait for input of a service number available to the member.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of transmitting an instant lottery ticket to a mobile terminal of a member using a wireless Internet. The customer using the instant lottery ticket purchase service first enters the number of instant lottery tickets to be purchased in step S40, and compares the amount of instant lottery purchases that the customer wants to purchase with the amount of the reserves accumulated by the customer to win the instant lottery ticket. In this case, if the instant lottery purchase price is less than the amount of the winnings reserve, the purchase price of the instant lottery ticket is subtracted from the customer's winning reserve. On the contrary, if the instant lottery purchase price is larger than the amount of winnings, the difference is added to the customer's telephone bill.

The instant lottery operation server randomly extracts the instant lottery tickets for the number of purchases that the customer wants to purchase from the instant lottery DB (S42). The instant lottery DB encrypts and stores the information of the issued instant lottery tickets, so the instant lottery operation server extracts the instant lottery tickets. It is not known whether the lottery won. In step S43, the instant lottery operation server is assigned a serial number for the extracted instant lottery, and stores the information of the instant lottery and the serial number in the backup DB (S44). At this time, since the information of the instant lottery to be stored is encrypted, it is not known whether the instant lottery is still won. In step S45, the selected instant lottery information is sent to the purchaser's mobile terminal.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of confirming whether the selected instant lottery is won or not. In order to confirm the purchased lottery ticket, the customer may check the lottery image of several frames connected to the lottery operation server and the Internet. (S50). This shows the UI (User Interface) that implements the existing instant lottery winning confirmation process by the wireless Internet method, the buyer can select the part of the instant lottery stripping. This process is described in detail in FIG. After the customer confirms the winning of the instant lottery, and transmits a confirmation message (S50), the lottery operation server decrypts the corresponding instant lottery data recorded in the backup DB to confirm the winning, and then the fact to the buyer's mobile terminal (S51).

If there is no acknowledgment of the customer, and for any other reason, the customer requests retransmission of the instant lottery ticket (S52), the instant lottery operation server retransmits the instant lottery ticket stored in the backup DB to the mobile terminal of the customer (S44). ) After confirming all the information of the instant lottery purchased by the customer in the receipt confirmation message of the customer, in step S44 the instant lottery management server can determine whether the instant lottery wins. If the instant lottery ticket is won, the amount is added to the customer's winnings reserve (S54), the lottery purchase service is terminated, and the process moves to the step of FIG. 2 to wait for the input of the service number available to the member. (S23)

6 is an example of a preferred service implementation showing a method for showing an instant lottery ticket to a purchaser on a wireless Internet terminal.

The instant lottery purchaser can view the instant lottery information sequentially by pressing a specific button of the mobile phone terminal (S60), and finally, the user can blow all the information of the instant lottery ticket (S62). You can check whether or not you win on the mobile phone terminal screen. S63 is the final result of winning the lottery purchaser decrypts the lottery from the backup DB by the instant lottery operation server when the lottery buyer sends a confirmation message in S62.

This part of the UI can be seen with a much more in-game element on platforms such as GVM / KVM.

According to the present invention, the instant lottery issuer has the advantage of not only reducing the distribution cost but also facilitating the sale by creating an additional sales channel called the wireless Internet, which can purchase the lottery anytime, anywhere. Lottery allows you to earn additional content. And finally, lottery buyers can eliminate the concern of the existing method (concern by the method of checking the winnings without removing the aluminum foil directly), and the user can directly lottery through one instant lottery DB. You can check and select the fair lottery has the advantage of being made.
