The present invention relates to a lottery method, and more particularly to a lottery method and a lottery machine which can simplify the lottery and publication process.

The year-end tail is usually the occasion where the company rewards employees for their work performance throughout the year and encourages morale. The sweepstakes and the lottery are the highlights. If the atmosphere of the lottery is properly created, it will greatly benefit the atmosphere that encourages the activities of the tail. Once the lottery mechanism is improper, the speed of the announcement of the winning list is too slow, which will definitely affect the atmosphere of the final venue.

In the traditional lottery method, the organizer needs to manually draw out a set of awards and winning lists from the lottery tickets that were put into the lottery box earlier, and announce them one by one.

However, the aforementioned lottery method often has the following disadvantages: the organizer cannot immediately release the winning list; if it is announced in front of the venue, it is projected on the screen, and the participating employees confirm whether they win the prize, and the screen projection is often too small, so that the venue is too small. The participating employees at the rear cannot immediately know whether the prize is won or not; the left-behind staff who are not on-site cannot directly know whether they win the prize; when the number of winning lists is large, such as a small amount of prizes, it is difficult to announce all the winning lists at the same time; others put in the lottery tickets on their behalf.

Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a flow chart of an embodiment of a winning method according to the present invention. Step S101 shows that at the entrance of a certain tail activity, the employee A delivers the lottery ticket printed with the specific barcode to the organizer, scans it with a scanner, and puts the lottery ticket among the lottery coupons into a lottery box. And keep the stubs in the lottery ticket (see Figure 2), you can complete the registration process.

A scanner is an input device for reading bar codes. Scanning the scanning head scans the image of the line into the decoding chip. After the extraction of the decoded chip, the representative value is output, and the output can be transmitted to the keyboard or other device through the interface. As for the output, there are generally two ways. One output to the keyboard and the other to RS-232 (EIA-RS-232).

The above lottery ticket may be generated by the following method: a bar code generator encodes specific information (such as job number, name, registration number, query URL, etc.) exclusively belonging to the employee A, converts it into a code, and prints out A lottery combination containing the above bar code is associated with a stub of another bar code having a corresponding characteristic. In other examples, the number of fields specific to an employee's specific information may vary from application to application.

In this embodiment, the bar code of the above-mentioned lottery is identical to the bar code of the stub. The barcodes are respectively pasted on the above-mentioned lottery joint and stub, and are collectively referred to as a lottery ticket. In other embodiments, the two barcodes do not have to be identical, as long as there is some correspondence between them.

The above barcode generator may be a technique based on one of a one-dimensional barcode, a two-dimensional barcode, or a quick response matrix code (QR Code).

In general, a one-dimensional bar code only expresses the information of a digit in a single direction (such as a horizontal direction), and a certain height is usually for the convenience of calibration of the scanner. The structure of the one-dimensional barcode includes a set of parallel black lines and numbers, and the symbols of the black lines and blanks combined according to certain encoding rules are used to represent a specific set of letters, numbers and the like. As long as the scanner is used to read a particular bar code, a set of reflected light signals can be obtained. The reflected light signal of the group is photoelectrically converted into a set of electronic signals corresponding to black lines and blanks; and the set of electronic signals is decoded to generate corresponding numbers. The error rate of reading the one-dimensional barcode is about one millionth, and the first reading rate is more than 98%. It is a technology with high reliability, fast input, good accuracy, low cost and wide application.

The two-dimensional bar code refers to a bar code that expands the function on the basis of the one-dimensional bar code to be readable in another dimension, and uses the black and white rectangular pattern to represent the binary data, and the information contained therein can be obtained after being scanned. The width of the one-dimensional bar code records the data, and the length does not record the data. The length and width of the 2D barcode are recorded. The 2D barcode has a "positioning point" and a "fault tolerance mechanism" that are not available in the one-dimensional barcode. Therefore, even if the entire barcode is not recognized or the barcode is slightly damaged, the information carried on the barcode can be correctly restored.

Quick Response Code (QR Code) is a kind of two-dimensional barcode, and its content can be decoded quickly. QR Code uses four standardized encoding modes (numbers, alphanumerics, bytes, and Chinese characters) to store data. QR Code can store more data than a one-dimensional bar code, and there is no need to linearly align the scanner when scanning like a one-dimensional bar code.
