Description

Lotto marking verification method and device using augmented reality

The present invention relates to a lotto lottery marking verification method for confirming whether a user has accurately marked a recommendation number on a lottery lottery paper using Augmented Reality technology.

Lottery is a ticket to collect money from a large number of people and to issue a prize to a winner determined by a method such as a lottery. The lottery system operated by the government has been widely used throughout Europe since the 16th century. Lotteries are classified into lottery, lotto, and instantaneous. Lottery lotteries are lotteries that have no limit on the maximum amount of winning. The Lotto Lottery, which is being sold in Korea, adopts '645 method' which randomly selects 6 numbers among 1 ~ 45 numbers.

Lottery lottery has become popular in many ways, such as the fact that customers can choose their own number instead of buying a fixed number, if the winner is not available, the winnings are carried over, and the more winners the more winners are won. In choosing a number, you can use a program that randomly extracts numbers, combines numbers you like, or combines numbers that are meaningful to you or your family. .

However, there is an inconvenience that it takes a lot of time to select a number in anticipation of the lottery winner of the lottery, and the probability of winning the combination of the number thus selected is extremely small. As a result, the number of services that recommend lotto numbers with a high probability of winning is increasing. The users confirm the 6 number combinations sent by the lottery recommendation server from the terminal such as the smart phone and mark the lotto number entry sheet accordingly.

Since the lottery number input paper currently used is configured to mark 5 games, the user must mark the total number of 30 numbers by referring to the recommendation number information. In the marking process, the user may mistakenly display the other number or mark the wrong line It happens frequently.

In order to solve the problems of the related art as described above, the present invention provides a lotto lottery system in which a user views a combination of recommendation numbers of a lottery lottery and automatically marks whether the lottery lottery is marked according to a recommendation number, And to provide a method and apparatus for verifying lottery marking of a lottery showing to a user through augmented reality.

In order to achieve the above object, a lotto lottery marking verification method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes analyzing an image displayed on a screen through a camera provided in a user terminal, Steps to make sure; Obtaining position information of a plurality of game zones on the lotto number input paper image and n number marking areas included in each game zone when the image includes a lotto number entry sheet; Determining a lotto number combination marked by a user on the lotto number input paper image using the obtained location information; obtaining at least one recommendation number combination composed of m recommendation numbers; Comparing the recommendation number combination with a lotto number combination determined to be marked by the user to determine whether the user correctly marked the recommendation number combination; And generating a graphic image representing the result of the determination and displaying the generated graphic image overlaid on the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen to provide the determination result to the user.

The acquiring of the position information may include: determining a direction of the lottery number input paper image displayed on the screen; Determining a zone divided by a rectangle line on the lotto number input paper image and including an identifier as one game zone; And dividing the number marking area of each game area into a predetermined number to obtain coordinate information indicating the positions of the number marking areas from 1 to n.

The providing of the determination result may include displaying a graphic image on the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen, which indicates whether or not the recommendation number combination is accurately marked for each of the plurality of game areas .

According to the present invention, since the recommended lottery number is displayed on the user terminal and is marked on the lottery number entry sheet, it is automatically verified whether or not the marking has been exactly performed according to the recommendation number by simply executing the dedicated application.

The term " means ", "part "," module ", etc. in the specification means units for processing at least one function or operation, Lt; / RTI >

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

1, a lotto lottery marking verification system includes a lottery number recommendation server 110 for providing a recommendation service for recommending a lottery number to a user of a 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 is generated using the information database and transmitted to the terminal 100 of the user.

The user terminal 100 provides the user with various services and lottery markup marking verification 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 recommendation server 110 to recommend the winning number according to the input of the user and provides the received recommendation number to the user through the display unit 102. When the user executes the dedicated application after marking the reference number on the actual lotto number entry sheet or executes the marking verification function of the dedicated application being executed, the dedicated application activates the camera to photograph the lotto number input sheet, And analyzes the generated image to verify whether or not the winning number recommended by the lottery number recommendation server 110 is accurately marked.

The result of the verification is converted into a form of augmenting information to be overlaid on the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen, and provided to the user. The augmentation information provided as a result of the verification may include a graphical image that indicates whether the user has correctly marked the lottery number. In addition, if there is an error in the marking of the lottery number, information that indicates which part is wrong can be provided through the augmented reality as a result of the verification, so that the user can intuitively know which part is wrongly marked.

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 verification method according to the present invention. The dedicated application executed by the control unit 101 analyzes the photographic image of the lotto number input paper photographed through the photographing unit 104 and displayed on the display unit 102 to extract a number judged to be marked by the user, And compares it with the recommendation number received from the lotto number recommendation server 110 through the communication unit 106 to verify whether or not the user correctly marked the lotto number. The result of the verification will be displayed as augmentation information on the lotto number input paper photograph on the screen.

Lotto number input paper has a predetermined format. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the lotto number entry sheet includes a title 44 and a description area on the left side, and there are five game zones (① to ⑤) on the right side of the area. Each game zone is marked by a rectangle and has a number marking zone 41 which contains 45 squares below which the number can be marked below the identification information 40.

Reference lines

42 and 43 are indicated on the lower and right sides of the paper.

The user terminal 100 stores information on the format of the lotto number input sheet as described above in the storage unit 105 and determines whether the subject of the camera is a lotto number input sheet, It is judged from the photographed image where 45 number marking areas corresponding to each game zone are located. In addition, it is checked through image analysis whether each marking area has a marking of the user, for example, filled with black color.

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 and illuminates the photographing unit 104 including the camera in the direction of the lotto number input sheet, a photographic image of the lotto number input sheet is generated and displayed on the display unit 102, And analyzes the images of the photographs to verify that the numbers are marked according to the recommendation number.

The lotto number marking verification method that the user terminal 100 performs through a dedicated application will be described in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

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

If the user views the recommendation number, marks the winning number on the lotto number entry sheet and then executes the dedicated application or selects the lotto number marking verification function on the dedicated application, the camera is operated by controlling the photographing unit 104 in step S20 . When the user moves the user terminal 100 to allow the camera to illuminate the lotto number input paper direction, the camera will photograph the lotto number input paper.

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 how a lotto number input sheet 30 is photographed through a camera of a mobile device according to an embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen that the user has marked all lotto numbers of the five games of A ~ E.

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, the title 44 constituting the lotto number entry sheet, the base line marks 42 and 43 displayed at the lower and right sides, the five game areas (1 to 5), the number input areas 41 ), And it is possible to determine whether the lottery number input sheet is included in the photographic image generated through the camera using at least a part of 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 entry sheet is composed of five game zones (① to ⑤) divided into quadrangles, and each game zone can be identified as A to E. In addition, each game area includes a number marking area 41 provided for marking 45 numbers. Since the marking areas corresponding to the respective numbers in the number marking area are arranged at regular intervals, the position of each game area is recognized The position of the marking area corresponding to each number can be determined. 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 paper can be determined according to the direction of the title 44. [ The right side of the text 'LOTTO 6/45' included in the title 44 is determined as the upper end of the lottery number input paper, and the left side of the text is determined as the lower end of the lottery number input paper.

Next, a region divided into a rectangle line on the lotto number input paper image and including an identifier is determined as one game area, and position information is generated. When the identification information 40 of each game is recognized at the upper part of the lotto number entry sheet, the position of the number marking areas 1 to 45 in the number marking area existing in the lower end square can be determined and position information can be generated. The determination of the position of the number marking area can be performed using the

reference lines

42 and 43 on the lower and right sides of the paper sheet. 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. [

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an area photographed by the photographing unit 104 may be automatically adjusted for efficient marking verification.

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 as to control both the identification symbol of the five games and the number marking area to be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 100. [

In step S23, it is determined which position in the number marking area of each game is painted by the user, thereby determining five lotto number combinations marked by the user.

In step S24, it is determined whether the marking is correct or not, if the combination of the recommendation number composed of the recommendation number is compared with the lotto number combination marked by the user. 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 recommended numbers as one combination.

In step S25, the marking determination result is displayed on the lottery number input paper image displayed on the screen through the augmented reality. For this purpose, a graphic image representing the marking discrimination result can be generated and overlaid on the image of the screen, and the graphic image representing marking verification information is overlaid on the photographic image actually photographed on the lottery number input sheet, The result of the marking verification can be known.

FIG. 5 illustrates a screen for providing marking verification information through an augmented reality according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the example of FIG. 5, the recommended lottery numbers for the user are (4 11 23 36 37 40), (13 18 28 37 39 40), (4 11 23 34 37 40), (13 17 20 32 36 41), 6 13 19 35 37 39). B, C, and D games are exactly the same as the reference numbers, but in the E game (6 13 19 32 37 39), the numbers of the A, B, C, It is judged that the recommended mark 35 is replaced by 32 instead of the recommended mark. As shown in FIG. 5, it is confirmed that the user provides the verification result of the erroneously marked E game as the augmented reality through the

graphic images

50 and 51 .

6 is another example of a screen for providing marking verification information through an augmented reality according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the example of FIG. 6, a graphic image indicating whether or not the recommendation number combination is accurately marked for each of the plurality of game areas is displayed on the lotto number input paper image displayed on the screen.

As in the example of FIG. 5, the recommended lottery numbers for the user are (4 11 23 36 37 40), (13 18 28 37 39 40), (4 11 23 34 37 40), (13 17 20 32 36 41) (6 13 19 35 37 39). B, C, and D games are exactly the same as the reference numbers, but in the E game (6 13 19 32 37 39), the numbers of the A, B, C, It is possible to judge that 32 is erroneously marked instead of the recommended 35.

As shown in FIG. 6, graphic images 61 to 64 indicating that the user has correctly marked a recommended number for the A to D game, graphic images 61 to 64 indicating information about the E game that the user has marked wrongly, ), The result of the verification is provided to the augmented reality.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a warning message can be transmitted to a user through an augmented reality even if it is predicted that the user's number marking is checked in real time and marked at the wrong position or marked at the wrong position.

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.

In the above example, it has been described that six recommendation number combinations among 45 numbers are recommended, and it is determined whether markings are properly performed in the 7 × 7 marking areas. However, the present invention is not limited to this, It is obvious that the number of numbers can be changed according to the format of Lotto lottery ticket.

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.
