Description

Providing Method of Lottery Ticket and Computer System therefor}

The present invention relates to a method for providing an electronic lottery and a computer device for executing the method.

Various lottery tickets are sold, such as housing lotteries or lotto lotteries, and companies such as gas stations and restaurants are purchasing these various lotteries for free in consideration of the expected number of customers and sales amount.

However, since it is difficult for a company to accurately predict the actual number of customers and the amount of sales, the company has to buy an appropriate number of lottery tickets at the discretion of the company. In some cases, additional purchases are required, and additional purchases are not possible on weekends, holidays, and nights, and some customers may not be able to provide free lotteries, or may need to provide a small number of lotteries.

In addition, if the actual number of customers and sales amount is smaller than the forecast, in case of lottery (housing or lotto lottery) with a fixed lottery date, return the remaining lottery when the lottery date is imminent or distribute the remaining lottery to the customers who visit at that time. Because of the need to throw away, there is a possibility that the customer's dissatisfaction is caused by the trouble of returning, the deterioration of the balance caused by the waste of the lottery, and the unfair distribution.

As a result, the current real lottery requires a lot of manpower for purchasing and distributing the lottery ticket, and there are many problems such as complaints of the victims when unfair distribution occurs.

In particular, in the case of such a real lottery, the price of one piece is often expensive for a company to distribute freely. For example, a gas station offers a portable toilet paper as a free gift. The purchase price of one portable toilet paper is less than 100 won, but in the case of various lotteries, the price of one sheet is hundreds or thousands of won. For a small number of companies, it is burdensome to offer this free lottery to customers.

In order to solve the problem of purchasing and distributing the real lottery ticket, in the case of an internet store, an electronic lottery is issued by electronically forming a lottery ticket, and the buyer immediately clicks the e-lottery ticket to confirm the winning or unique number at the time of purchase. It uses a method of generating an electronic lottery with a winning number and drawing a lottery later and sending the winnings to the Internet address.

However, this method cannot be used if the customer does not own or owns the computer, because the customer has to purchase by the computer and confirm the winning.

The present invention solves the above problems in the purchase and distribution of the real lottery by delivering the electronic lottery to the customer's mobile phone in view of the problems of the prior art, and facilitate the delivery of the electronic lottery and notification of the winning facts even without a computer. A method and a computer device for executing the method are provided.

Another embodiment improving the present invention of FIG.

<Description of the symbols for the main parts of the drawings>

1: gas station terminal

2: card company computer

3: customer cellphone

4: electronic lottery service server

In FIG. 1, the present invention will be described on the assumption that the customer is refueling at a gas station, pays with a card, and a lottery lottery-type electronic lottery is provided as a free gift.

First, the gas station pre-contracts with the card company to determine the amount and agency fee of the electronic lottery based on the amount of one-time gas. For example, when the customer approves the use of the card, the gas company pays 20 won each time cutting less than 10,000 won of gas amount to provide the customer with 100 won per lot of lottery e-lottery tickets and 1 lotto e-lottery ticket to the customer. Arrange in advance to pay the agency fee.

When a customer fills gas at Gas Station A and asks the card company for approval through the gas station terminal 1 for payment (for example, 53,000 won), the card company approves the card if there is no problem. Since the card company has information on the authorized customer's mobile phone number, the card company then issued a lotto electronic lottery ticket (500 won) corresponding to the amount cut from the authorized amount by less than 10,000 won. (2) transmits to the customer's mobile phone (3). In this way, the customer's mobile phone (3) is sent a message of thanks and the lotto lottery amount and the lotto lottery number. For example, "Thank you for using Gas Station A. We will give you a 500 won e-lottery as a free gift. The draw number is 3,4,5,6,7,8 and the draw date is May 20. I'll notify you. "

The electronic lottery issued in this way is a lottery on the day of the lottery, and when the prize is won, a congratulatory message, notification of winning facts, contact information for receiving the winnings, etc. on the mobile phone 3 in order to pay the winning amount corresponding to the lottery electronic lottery (500 won). Send a text message about For example, "Congratulations. You have won the electronic lottery ticket (lottery numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) using the gas station A. For more information, please contact 02-987-6543. Message is sent to the customer cellular phone 3 as a text message. The customer can call this number and proceed with the collection process.

As mentioned above, if the card company pays the customer a small amount of electronic lottery ticket, the company (gas station) does not have to worry about purchasing and distributing the lottery ticket. The likelihood is increased, and anyone can send an e-lottery message immediately after payment to the mobile phone of the customer, so that the customer can immediately know the lottery offer, and the winner will be notified immediately by the mobile phone.

However, in the case of the present invention in FIG. 1 as described above, the card company or another company linked with the card company generates an electronic lottery, transfers the electronic lottery to a mobile phone, and draws the lottery and the winning of the winnings. There is no doubt as to whether the lottery is fair, as the overall procedure is carried out by the card company or another company associated with the card company (eg VAN company).

In order to further improve the fairness of such a lottery, another embodiment of FIG. 2 uses a method of purchasing a real lottery and providing an electronic lottery based on the lottery number of the purchased real lottery. Hereinafter, this method will be described in detail.

The lottery service company purchases a real lottery ticket, for example, a lotto lottery ticket (2000 won per piece), and compares the lottery number and the lottery number of the real lotto lottery ticket with the lottery service server (4) of the electronic lottery service company. Save to database in advance.

When a customer fills up at a gas station and pays a card (for example, 53,000 won), the card company's computer (2) uses the lottery number of the real lottery corresponding to the electronic lottery amount (500 won) Request information about the stake to the lottery service server (4). Upon receiving such a request, the lottery service server 4 transmits an electronic lottery number corresponding to the electronic lottery amount (500 won) and a stake in the lottery of the number to the card company's computer 2 in the stored database. For example, if two real lotto lottery tickets were purchased for Lottery No. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 2000 won * 2 = 4000 won for this Lottery No. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 The bet is hanging. In this case, if the lottery number 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 is designated as the 500 lottery e-lottery, the e-lottery of 500 won is the real lottery (lottery numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Has a 12.5% stake in

The card company's computer (2) that received the information on this electronic lottery (lottery number 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) and its stake (12.5%) sends this information to the customer's mobile phone (3). For example, "Thank you for using Gas Station A. We give you 12.5% stake in 132th Lottery Lottery No. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 as a free gift. Winner confirmation is 132 on May 20 Confirm with the winner of the car lottery ticket, and the winner will be notified by mobile phone later. "Is sent to the customer's mobile phone (3) as a text message.

In this way, the customer checks the winner number selected through the 132th lottery lottery process by which the lottery is executed by an open and fair process with the electronic lottery lottery number displayed on the mobile phone (3). You will receive a winning amount corresponding to your stake (12.5%).

In addition, in the case of using the method as shown in FIG. 2, the lottery service company in charge of the lottery service server 4 is a service fee, for example, half of the 20 won (10 won per case), which is the fee that the card company receives at the gas station. You can pick it up at the company. This will allow lottery service providers to secure a stable source of income.

Alternatively, a lottery service provider may be effective if it charges a portion of the stake (e.g. half the amount of e-lottery ticket (500 won)) as a service fee instead of the stake (12.5%) corresponding to the electronic lottery ticket (500 won). Provide a stake (6.25%) to the card company. In this case, 12.5% (6.25%) of the lottery winnings will be received by the winning customer, and the other half (6.25%) will be received by the lottery service company. You can do it.

On the other hand, in Figures 1 and 2, the card company has a mobile phone number of the customer using the card, it is described that the customer using the card to send the e-lottery payment and winning notification message on the assumption that the customer using the card is the same person as the owner of the mobile phone, but actually the card Many people do not have the same name and mobile phone holders, so there is a possibility that the e-lottery will not be delivered to the card users. For example, in the case of lending a mobile phone, there is a concern that an electronic lottery ticket may be delivered to a non-card customer (cell phone holder) because the card name and the cell phone holder are different.

Therefore, the card company needs to check whether the registered mobile phone number is the mobile phone number of the card customer.

In the first method, the card company sends a text message to the registered mobile phone number for the customer to display an e-lottery payment due message and a message confirming whether or not he / she is displayed in the window of the mobile phone. The mobile phone holder who received this message enters his / her social security number into his / her mobile phone and sends the social security number to the card company, or connects the phone to the card company's call center so that the call center can enter the social security number by verbal or ARS system. If the company confirms its identity, it will send a message to pay the electronic lottery to the confirmed mobile phone number, and if it is determined that it is not you, then do not send the electronic lottery payment message to the mobile phone.

The second method is to enter a mobile phone number in the card reader terminal and have the phone number delivered to the card company. To do this, a card reader must have a device that does this.

When the customer pays the card, the customer or the owner enters the customer's mobile phone number on the terminal, and the mobile phone number becomes the true mobile phone number of the card payment customer. You can send

In addition, although the above payment is described as being made by a card terminal, such a card terminal cannot be used in an Internet shopping mall or a TV shopping mall. In such a shopping mall, payment is made by inputting a card number or the like by an oral currency or an ARS system, or by using an internet banking transfer or an offline remittance. In the case of verbal calls or payments by the ARS system, when the mobile phone number is notified orally or the ARS system is notified to the shopping mall, a message regarding the electronic lottery payment and the winner notification is sent to the mobile phone number.

In addition, a mobile terminal capable of electronic payments such as a K-Merce phone or a moneta phone (with an IC chip embedded therein) or a prepaid card may be used in the same manner as a general card. The above-described method may be applied by using a reading terminal.

1 and 2, the electronic lottery-related message transmitted to the customer's mobile phone 3 is described as being transmitted from the card company's computer 2, but the terminal 1 and the card company of the affiliated store are actually used. Since it is common for a computer of VAN company to intervene between the computers 2, the above-mentioned electronic lottery related messages may be transmitted from the computer of the VAN company instead of the computer 2 of the card company. In addition, in the case of Internet shopping or TV home shopping, the computer for payment gateway (PG), which is responsible for payment, connects customers or shopping companies with VAN company. In this case, the PG computer sends this e-lottery message. This is possible. In addition, the lottery service server 4 of the lottery service company can transmit an electronic lottery-related message.

In the case of sending the lottery-related message from the VAN company, the PG company, and the electronic lottery service company, the card company receives the information about the mobile phone number of the customer and confirms whether the customer is true or not. Method) or enter a true mobile number (the second method above).

Meanwhile, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the payment of the electronic lottery is described as being made by the card company. However, in the case of Internet shopping or home shopping, the shopping company may execute the same.

In addition, although the above is for the lottery-type electronic lottery, other lottery forms are possible, and instead of the electronic lottery payment in proportion to the payment amount, a certain amount of electronic lottery payment is possible.

Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention described above.

By using the method of the present invention, it is possible to solve various problems in the purchase and distribution of the real lottery, and to deliver the electronic lottery and notify the fact of winning even without a computer.
