FIG. 1 is a view for explaining a configuration of a lotto lottery marking guiding apparatus and a system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the Lotto lottery marking guidance system includes a lottery number recommendation server 110 for providing a recommendation service for recommending a lottery number to a user of the user terminal 100 and a user terminal 100, And communicate with each other through a network such as the Internet.

The lotto number recommendation server 110 is a computing system having software and / or hardware components for providing a lotto number recommendation service based on a web server or a dedicated application, An information database is provided and a lotto number combination to be recommended to the user can be generated using the information database.

The user terminal 100 provides the user with various services and lotto lottery marking guidance services provided by the lotto number recommendation server 110 through a web browser or a dedicated application according to the present invention. Hereinafter, an example will be described in which the lotto number recommendation server 110 and the user terminal 100 communicate with each other through a dedicated application to provide a service to the user. A method for providing a service through a web browser may be similarly implemented.

The user terminal 100 requests the lottery number recommendation server 110 to recommend a winning number based on a user's input, displays an image generated by photographing a real lottery number input sheet with a camera, displays a generated lotto number combination To generate overlay enhancement information on the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen. The augmentation information provided at this time includes a graphic image for guiding and helping the user to accurately mark the lottery number.

The user terminal 100 is a computing device such as a smart phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a portable computer capable of communicating with the lotto number recommendation server 110 through a predetermined network. The user terminal 100 is a real- It is preferable to be implemented as a mobile device capable of photographing a number input sheet. The user terminal 100 may include a control unit 101, a display unit 102, an input unit 103, a photographing unit 104, a storage unit 105, and a communication unit 106.

The control unit 101 controls other components and executes a dedicated application recorded in the storage unit 105 to perform the lotto lottery marking guidance method according to the present invention. The dedicated application executed by the control unit 101 is a program for photographing a lotto number input sheet photographed through the photographing unit 104 and displayed on the display unit 102 and a photo image from the lotto number recommendation server 110 through the communication unit 106 The received recommendation number is mapped and the number marking guide image indicating the recommendation number is displayed on the screen of the lotto number input paper image as enhancement information to guide the lotto number marking through the augmented reality.

Lotto number input paper has a predetermined format. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the lotto number entry sheet includes a title 40, a description area, and five game areas 41 to 45, and each game area is divided into rectangles And has number marking areas 51 to 55 including 45 spaces for marking the number at the bottom of the identification symbol.

The user terminal 100 stores information on the format of the lotto number input sheet in the storage unit 105 and determines whether the subject of the camera is a lotto number input sheet or not, It is determined whether there are 45 number marking positions corresponding to each game zone. The number marking position and the recommendation number of each game area are mapped to display a preset number marking guide image at the number marking position corresponding to the recommendation number.

The input unit 103 may include a touch screen and / or a button as a module for receiving a user's input. When the user operates the input unit 103 to execute a dedicated application or selects the marking guidance function and illuminates the photographing unit 104 including the camera in the direction of the lotto number input sheet, Is displayed on the display unit 102. The photograph image is analyzed to calculate a plurality of positions to be marked according to the recommendation number, and the number marking guide image is displayed at the calculated position to help mark the correct position.

The lotto number marking guidance method performed by the user terminal 100 through a dedicated application will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart for explaining a lotto lottery marking guiding method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the user executes the dedicated application or selects the lotto number marking guidance function on the dedicated application, the photographing unit 104 is controlled in step S20 to operate the camera. The user may move the user terminal 100 to cause the camera to illuminate the lotto number input paper direction.

In step S21, the image displayed on the screen is analyzed through the camera to check whether the lottery number input sheet is included in the photographic image.

FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a state in which the lottery number input sheet 31 is photographed through the camera of the mobile device 30 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, a method may be used in which format information of the lotto number input sheet is read and compared with the photographed image to check whether the lottery number input sheet is included in the photographic image captured by the camera. The form information may include the entire appearance of the lottery number input sheet and may be compared with the photographed image, but information on one or more components constituting the lottery number input sheet may be included.

4 is a view for explaining a method of recognizing lotto number input paper according to an embodiment of the present invention and acquiring position information on a number marking area of each game area.

4, a title 40 constituting a lotto number entry sheet, a reference line 46 displayed at the lower end of the sheet, five game zones 41 to 45, number input areas 51 to 55 ), A reference line displayed on the right edge of the paper, and the like, and can determine whether the lottery number input sheet is included in the photographic image generated through the camera using the format information.

In step S22, when the lottery number input paper is included in the photographic image on the screen, the lottery number input paper image is analyzed to acquire position information of a plurality of game areas and 45 numbered marking areas included in each game area on the screen .

As shown in FIG. 4, the lotto number input paper is composed of five game areas 41 to 45, each of which is divided into a quadrangle, and each game area can be identified as A to E. In addition, each game area includes 45 number marking areas 51 to 55, and 45 number marking areas are arranged at regular intervals. Therefore, when the position of each game area is recognized, a marking area corresponding to each number The location can also be judged. The location of each game zone and the location of the marking area of each number may be represented by a rectangular area that can be represented by coordinates on the display screen.

In order to analyze the lotto number input paper image as described above, it is first necessary to determine the direction of the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen. For example, the direction of the lotto number input sheet can be determined according to the direction of the title 40. The right side of the text 'LOTTO 6/45' is determined as the lower side of the lotto number input paper to the upper side of the lotto number input paper to the left side of the text.

Next, the area divided by the rectangle line on the lotto number entry paper image and containing the identifier is judged as one game area. When the identifiers A to E of each game are recognized in the upper part of the lottery number input sheet, the position of the number marking areas indicating 1 to 45 in the number marking area existing in the lower end square can be determined. The determination of the position of the number marking area can be performed using the reference lines on the lower and right sides of the paper. As another example, the number marking area of each game area may be divided into 7x7 to obtain coordinate information indicating the positions of the number marking areas from 1 to 45. [

In step S23, one or more recommendation number combinations composed of six recommendation numbers are obtained. The recommendation number is a winning number received from the lottery number recommendation server 110, and it is possible to receive five combinations of six recommendation numbers as one combination.

In step S24, coordinate information for displaying each recommendation number is obtained by matching the position information and the recommendation number combination obtained from the lotto number input paper image in step S22.

At step S25, the marking guide image is overlaid and displayed at a position corresponding to the recommendation number on the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen using the coordinate information obtained above. At this time, since the graphic image for marking guidance is overlaid on the photographic image actually photographed of the lotto number input paper, the result is that the user guides the position to be marked by the augmented reality.

The marking guide image is a graphic image having a predetermined shape and color such as a rectangle, a circle, a dot, a numeric character, etc., and may be preset in a dedicated application or changed according to the setting of the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an area photographed by the photographing unit 104 for automatic marking guidance can be automatically adjusted.

For example, when the photographic image displayed on the display unit 102 of the user terminal 100 does not include all of the number marking areas of five games, that is, when a portion of the lotto number input paper is cut and photographed, So that all the number marking areas of the five games are displayed on the screen of the user terminal 100. [

As another example, the focus of the camera can be adjusted so that only a part of the five game areas of the lotto number entry sheet is displayed on one screen. Specifically, when the camera of the user terminal 100 is illuminated on the left side of the lottery number entry sheet, a region corresponding to the game A is displayed on the screen so that the user can easily view and mark the same. When the user moves the user terminal 100 a little to the right after completing the number marking of the game A according to the six marking guide images displayed in the area of the game A, the area corresponding to the game B caught at the center of the screen by the camera You can adjust the focus of the camera so that it is displayed large on this screen. In this way, if you guide the recommendation number markings for game A, game B, game C, game D and game E in order, you will be able to complete lotto number entry without mistake.

FIG. 5 illustrates a screen for guiding a marking position through an augmented reality according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the lotto numbers to be recommended to the user are (10 22 26 31 42 43), (4 7 10 16 34 42), (3 5 10 16 35 43), (14 15 18 19 21 34) (2 7 16 27 39 41), it can be seen that a plurality of marking guide images 60 corresponding to each combination of recommendation numbers are displayed in each game area on the photographic image 50 of the lottery number input paper.

In the example of FIG. 5, the rhomboid graphic image 60 overlaid on the recommendation number is enhancement information to be displayed as an augmented reality on a photographic image of a lotto number input paper, which is a realistic subject.

On the other hand, when the user holds the terminal 100 and performs number marking according to guidance through the augmented reality, the image displayed on the display unit 102 may be changed by moving the user terminal 100.

When the image displayed through the camera is changed as the user terminal 100 moves, the display of the augmentation information will also be updated. Specifically, the position information of the five game zones and the 45 numbered marking regions included in each game zone on the changed lotto number input paper image is acquired again, and the coordinate information to display each recommended number is renewed to update the changed lotto number By changing the position of the marking guide images on the input paper image, the synchronization between the image to be photographed and the enhancement information can be maintained.

6 is a view for explaining a method of guiding a marking position when a portion of a lottery number input sheet is illuminated according to an embodiment of the present invention.

It may be more convenient to mark and receive one combination of the lotto number input paper rather than to take the whole 5 lotion number recommendation numbers at once. When one or more game zones are recognized on the displayed photographic image, it is determined that the lotto number input sheet is included and the lotto number marking guide for the recognized game zone is executed have.

Referring to FIG. 6, since the displayed image includes the A game area including the identifier 'A', the location information of the 45 numbered mark areas included in the A game area will be obtained. In addition, since the first recommendation number combination to be displayed in the A game area is (10 22 26 31 42 43), the position of the number marking area for displaying each number is determined, and the marking guide image 62 is overlaid on the determined position .

When the user moves the user terminal 100 to display the next game B game area on the screen after completing the number marking for the A game with reference to the guidance screen using the augmented reality as shown in FIG. 6, B " area containing an identifier " B " is displayed. The dedicated application recognizes that the game has been moved to another game zone by tracking the change of the screen. Accordingly, the location information of the 45 numbered marking areas included in the B game area is acquired, and the second recommendation number Will determine where to display each number of combinations and will overlay the marking guide image 62 at the determined location.

Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the user's number marking is predicted to be marked in the wrong position or in the wrong position by checking in real time, the warning message can be delivered to the user through the augmented reality.

Specifically, if the pen used for number marking is detected by the user in the image displayed on the screen through the camera and the tip of the pen is stopped for a predetermined time or longer, it is determined whether the position of the pen tip corresponds to the coordinate information corresponding to the recommendation number If the position of the pen tip is deviated from the coordinate information of the reference number, a message indicating that the position to be marked is wrong may be overlaid on the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen.

As another example, when it is judged that there is a number marked by the user in the image displayed on the screen through the camera, it is judged whether or not the position marked by the user corresponds to the coordinate information corresponding to the reference number, If it is out of the coordinate information of the number, a message indicating that the marked position is wrong can be overlaid on the lotto number input paper image on the screen.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to visual means for guiding numbering through the augmented reality by overlaying the marking guide image on the image of the lottery number input paper on the screen, the recommendation number is more clearly recognized through auditory means .

Specifically, when a pen used for number marking is detected in an image displayed on a screen through a camera and a tentacle portion of the pen is stopped for a predetermined time or longer, the game zone where the pen tip is positioned is determined, It is possible to provide an auditory guidance message by converting the recommended numbers of the area into voice data and outputting the speaker. The user will be able to more accurately mark the number since he can hear the recommendation number audibly along with the number marking guide image which appears to be augmented reality.

In the above example, six recommendation number combinations among 45 numbers are recommended, and it is determined whether marking is properly performed in the 7 × 7 marking area. However, It is obvious that the number of combinations can be changed according to the format of lottery lottery.

The method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in the form of a program command which can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination.
