Hereinafter, a block diagram of a mobile terminal to which the present invention can be applied is described as an example, and a method of purchasing a lottery ticket in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3 .

3 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a method of purchasing a lottery ticket in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S100, the user selects a lottery ticket to be purchased from the lottery ticket list, and the control unit 170 acquires the game information of the selected lottery ticket from the lottery money management server 300. [ At this time, the acquired game information may be linked to the lottery selection area or the competition selection area and provided to the user.

In step S102, the game UI processing unit 172 then displays a game selection area corresponding to the selected lottery on the screen. At this time, the game selection region may be composed of a plurality of selectable items, and the selected item may be different according to the type of the lottery ticket.

In step S104, an arbitrary selection item is automatically or manually selected from a plurality of selection items of the game selection area to generate selection item data, and the selected selection item is actively displayed so as to be distinguished from other selection items, .

Thereafter, the selection item data is collected to generate game configuration data for the game, and the validity of the generated game configuration data is checked. At this time, the validity of the game configuration data may be judged based on the game information received from the lottery operation server 300, whether or not the valid period is valid, whether the rules of the game are complied with, whether the bet limit is exceeded (Step S106).

In step S108, the sleep UI processing unit 173 sets one of the plurality of game configuration areas constituting the sleep configuration area using the generated game configuration data. The generated game configuration area or the sleep configuration area may be displayed on the screen (S110).

If the shake of the mobile terminal 100 is detected by the user in a state where the slip configuration area or the game composition area is displayed on the screen (S112), the slip UI processor 173 determines that one or more games (S114). Then, item configuration data corresponding to the selection number from the game configuration data corresponding to the selected game configuration area is selected as the recommendation number generated in the recommendation number generation unit 174 (S116), and the game configuration area is reset based on the replaced game configuration data (S118).

At this time, if a preset exclusion exclusion number preset by the user is registered, the recommendation number generator 174 can select a recommendation number from among the remaining numbers excluding the exclusion exclusion number.

If a fixed selection number set in advance by the user is registered, the recommendation number generator 174 generates the item configuration data corresponding to the remaining selection numbers except for the fixed selection number using the item configuration data corresponding to the recommendation number .

Meanwhile, in the process of setting the game configuration area, when the shaking of the mobile terminal 100 is detected through the sensing unit 130 in a state where the game configuration area is displayed on the screen, the automatic number generation item of the game configuration area is activated Only the item configuration data corresponding to the selection number among the game configuration data corresponding to the game configuration area is changed to the item configuration data corresponding to the recommendation number generated by the recommendation number generation unit 174, The game configuration area can be reset.

Thereafter, when it is desired to purchase a game further in step S120, a new game selection area is displayed on the screen (S122), and the process from step S104 is repeated.

When all the games are set up in step S124, the sleep configuration data corresponding to the sleep configuration area is transmitted to the adjacent lottery ticket seller 200 via the near field communication module to request the game purchase approval (S124) And one or more game configuration data included in the sleep configuration data is stored in the purchase history (S126).

At this time, if the winning result is not registered among the sleep configuration data or game configuration data stored in the purchase history, the purchase history management unit 175 transmits a winning result request message to the lottery ticket vending machine upon request of game purchase approval , And receives the winning result information in response thereto, and may match and store the winning result information to the sleep configuration data or the game configuration data.

The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate rather than limit the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.

The scope of protection of the present invention should be construed according to the following claims, and all technical ideas falling within the scope of the same shall be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
