[0002]
[Prior art]
When selling a lottery ticket printed with a unique lottery number one by one, there is a wide range of methods in which a predetermined number (for example, 10) of lottery tickets are packed in advance and sold in units of bags. It has been. In addition, in response to the needs of the purchaser of the lottery ticket, the serial number sale in which all the lottery numbers of the lottery tickets in the bag are continuous, and the numbers in the bag are not biased and the numbers in each digit are scattered. The roses are sold and the bags are packed according to both sales methods. In addition, the distribution route is usually that the lottery ticket is printed at the responsibility of the organization that manages the sale, and the lottery ticket is sent from the organization that manages the sale to the local dealers. . In addition, the sales organization is hierarchized, and there are cases in which the primary dealer who receives the mail from the organization that manages the sale further entrusts sales to the second and third dealers.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When selling lottery tickets such as those listed above, all lottery numbers assigned to the dealers are lost in case the lottery ticket being stored at the dealership is stolen or burnt down due to fire, etc. It is desirable to know.

[0017]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration of a lottery ticket management system according to the embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a sales source system used in an organization that manages the sales of lottery tickets. This sales source system 10 includes a number conversion processing unit 30a, a lottery number management table 31a, and management for each store. And a table 32a. As will be described later, the lottery number management table 31a holds the relationship between the lottery number, the bag number, its branch number, and the pair symbol. Similarly, the store-specific management table 32a holds the relationship between a bag number, its branch number, a pair symbol, and the store. Further, the number conversion processing unit 30a generates the bagging number data 33a while referring to the lottery number management table 31a and the store-specific management table 32a.
[0018]
Reference numeral 20 denotes a store system used in a store, and the store system 20 includes a number conversion processing unit 30b. Then, the number conversion processing unit 30b refers to the lottery number management table 31b and the store-specific management table 32b sent from the selling source system 10 via the network 1 so as to generate the bagging number data 33b. It has become. As the network 1, for example, the Internet or a public telephone network is used.
[0019]
Reference numeral 50 denotes a lottery ticket packed on the basis of the bagging data 33a on the selling side. The bagged lottery ticket 50 is sent to the store, and the store side can check the lottery ticket sent using the bagging number data 33b.
[0020]
Next, the details of the lottery number management table (31a, 31b) and the store-specific management table (32a, 32b) will be described. In addition, in the example shown below, the system of the lottery number of the lottery ticket is as follows. That is, each lottery ticket is printed with any lottery number among 100,000 types of “100000” to “199999”. In addition, there may be a case where a plurality of lottery tickets are sold with the 100,000 lottery tickets as one set. At this time, the set number of each set is further added as a lottery number. For example, 100 types of group numbers (higher numbers) from “01 group” to “100 groups” are provided, and 100,000 types of lottery numbers (lower numbers) from “100000” to “199999” exist for each group. That is, there are a total of 10 million types of lottery numbers. Further, a lottery ticket of a plurality of units may be sold with the 10 million lottery tickets as one unit.
[0021]
FIG. 2 is a reference diagram showing the contents of a part of data in the lottery number management table. As shown in the drawing, the lottery number management table holds the relationship between the symbols and the lottery number initial values. Here, it is assumed that 10 lottery tickets are packed in a bag, and symbols 0 to 9 correspond to the 10 lottery tickets. The lottery number management table holds an increment value “1” and a lap round value “10000”.
[0022]
Based on the setting of the lottery number management table as described above, bagging number data is generated. Since ten hundred lottery tickets are packed into ten bags, the number of bags is 10,000, and the bag numbers “0” to “9999” correspond to each bag. As shown in FIG. 2, the bag number “0” has ten lottery numbers as they are, ie, “101234”, “112345”, “123456”, “134567”, “145678”. ”,“ 156789 ”,“ 167890 ”,“ 178901 ”,“ 189902 ”,“ 190123 ”. Also, after the bag number “1”, ten lottery numbers that are incremented by the increment value (that is, “1”) are sequentially assigned from the initial lottery number value. However, since the lap round value is set to “10000”, the carry is not performed to the tenth place when incrementing. Specifically, for example, in the row of the symbol “5” shown in FIG. 2, the lottery number of the bag number “3210” is “159999”, but the lottery number of the next bag number “3211” is “160000”. It is “150,000”. In this way, the lottery numbers are assigned to the bag numbers “0” to “9999” based on the data of the lottery number management table.
[0023]
That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the lottery number is uniquely converted into one of a finite number of symbols using the first rule based on the data held in the lottery number management table, and the lottery number management table. Based on the data held in, the second rule can be used to uniquely convert a lottery number into one of a finite number of bag numbers. There is no need to manage each ticket individually. Specifically, the lottery number management table holds the symbol and the representative number of the lottery number corresponding to the symbol, and the first rule is that the lottery number is stored in the lottery number management table. The symbol is determined based on whether or not it belongs to a set of lottery numbers represented by the held representative numbers, and the second rule is based on the lottery number and the representative number corresponding to the lottery number. The bag number can be determined by performing a predetermined calculation.
[0024]
Note that the data example shown in FIG. 2 is for selling roses. In this data example, there is no duplication in the second digit from the initial lottery number, that is, the number of the tenth digit. Such data is an example of a setting for assigning 100,000 types of lottery numbers to each symbol and each bag number without duplication. In this data example, the least significant digit of the lottery number initial value, that is, the first digit is not duplicated. The lottery number assigned to each bag number is incremented by 1 from the initial value, so if there is no duplication of the first digit in the initial lottery number, it will be the first digit in all bag numbers. There will be no duplication of numbers. By setting such data, each bag always includes one lottery number having the lowest digit “0” to “9”. This means that when a lottery method in which only the least significant digit matches is won, a single lottery ticket will be included in each bag.
[0025]
FIG. 3 is a reference diagram showing the contents of a part of data in the lottery number management table. While the data shown in FIG. 2 is for selling loose numbers, the data shown in FIG. 3 is suitable for sequential number selling. In the data shown in FIG. 3, the increment value is set to “10” and the lap round value is set to “100000”. Also, consecutive numbers from “100000” to “100009” are set as the initial lottery number. With such a setting, 10 consecutive lottery numbers are assigned to all of the bag numbers “0” to “9999”.
[0026]
FIG. 4 is a reference diagram showing the contents of a part of the lottery number management table in the case where the lottery number includes a set number. The data shown in FIG. 4 holds the relationship between the group and the set number. is doing. Since one group includes 10 sets, a total of 100 sets are grouped into 10 groups “0” to “9”. The method of grouping is arbitrary, but in the example shown in FIG. 4, there is no duplication of the lowest digit (first digit) in the same group and the second digit from the bottom (tenth digit). ) Is not duplicated.
[0027]
FIG. 5 is a reference diagram showing rotation for determining a permutation of a set in the group, and shows data taking the group “3” in FIG. 4 as an example. FIG. 5A shows the permutation of the set when the rotation speed is 0, and the permutation numbers 0, 1, 2,..., 9 in the order of the arrangement of the set numbers shown in FIG. It is said. FIG. 5B shows a permutation of a set when the number of revolutions is 1, and gives a permutation number obtained by shifting the arrangement of the set numbers one by one. The same applies to the rotation speed 2 (FIG. 5 (c)) and thereafter, and there are 10 patterns up to the rotation speed 9 (FIG. 5 (j)). When the rotation shown in FIG. 5 is performed, the permutation numbers “0” to “9” are given to each group once without any overlap. That is, for example, “03 set” is the permutation number “0” at the rotational speed 0, the permutation number “9” at the rotational speed 1,..., And the permutation number “1” at the rotational speed 9.
[0028]
FIG. 6 is a reference diagram showing the packing number data obtained by combining the lottery number initial value shown in FIG. 2, the group of the group shown in FIG. 4, and the rotation of the group shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, the set symbol is composed of a two-digit number, and the upper order (tenth place) represents the group of the set, and the lower order (first place) represents the number of rotations in the group. Then, a set number is assigned so that the permutation number in the group and the rotational speed matches the symbol shown in FIG. For example, in the set symbol “00”, the set number such as “0” for the group, “0” for the rotation speed, and “0” for the permutation number is “100 set”. The number is associated with the initial value “101234”. In the group symbol “01”, the group number “11” is the group number “0”, the rotation number “1”, and the permutation number “0”. It is associated with the lottery number initial value “101234”. Then, the bagging lottery numbers of the bag numbers “0” to “9999” are determined according to a predetermined increment from the initial lottery number. In addition, the matrix (portion A) of the bagging lottery number shown in FIG. 6 is 1000 rows (set number “00” to “99”, symbols “0” to “9”) 10,000 columns (bag number “0”). ~ "9999"), and a total of 10 million types of lottery numbers are assigned without omission and duplication.
[0029]
By using the procedure as described above, only the lottery number initial value data (FIG. 2) and group number grouping data (FIG. 4) for each symbol set in the lottery number management table are used. Data for packing lottery tickets (FIG. 6) can be generated.
[0030]
By performing bagging based on such bagging number data, since the lottery numbers of the lottery tickets in each bag are not biased, it is possible to satisfy the needs of buyers who want to purchase lottery tickets with discrete numbers. . However, for example, if bags with the same set of symbols and the same bag number (for example, “0” to “4999”) are sent as they are to the store, the adjacent bags are filled with lottery tickets with consecutive lot numbers. Therefore, when a plurality of bags are sold to the same purchaser at a store, there is a possibility that lottery tickets having serial numbers are substantially mixed. Therefore, in order to relax the continuity between the bags, a branch number of the bag number may be introduced.
[0031]
FIG. 7 is a reference diagram showing the relationship between bag numbers and branch numbers. As shown in the figure, the bag numbers “0” to “9999” correspond to combinations of large numbers and branch numbers. In the example of FIG. 7, five types of branch numbers “0” to “4” are allocated, but the remainder when the bag number is divided by 5 is the branch number so that the same branch number is not consecutive. To be the same. The branch numbers need not be limited to “0” to “4”, and branch numbers in other ranges may be allocated.
[0032]
In addition, as described above, the lottery number in each bag and the lottery numbers of the bags belonging to the same branch number are to be separated as much as possible for rose sale, but in the case of sequential sale, Data operations as described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 need to be packed with consecutive numbers of the same set number, and to meet the need to purchase consecutive numbers that span multiple bags. Do not do. Further, when selling a lottery ticket of a plurality of units, the selling method is changed for each unit, for example, one unit is used for selling roses and another unit is used for selling consecutive numbers.
[0033]
FIG. 8 is a reference diagram illustrating the structure and data example of the management table for each store.
FIG. 8A shows an example (32a) of a management table for each store on the sales source system side. Here, pair symbols “00” to “99” and branch numbers “0” to “4” are shown. The code number of the store to which the bag is sent can be recorded for all the combinations. For example, 2000 bags having a set symbol “00” and a branch number “0” are sent to the store “00001”. FIG. 8B shows an example of a management table (32b) for each dealer on the dealer system side. Here, the set number and branch number of the part sent to the dealer “00001” are shown. For the combination, the code number of the secondary store to which the bag is sent can be recorded.
In other words, the store-specific management table holds the relationship between the bag number (or branch number having the same dimension as that) and the lottery ticket store corresponding to this bag number (or branch number).
[0034]
When assigning store codes to each row of the table, use random numbers or use an algorithm that prohibits assigning the same store code to consecutive branch numbers with the same set symbol, etc. You may devise so that the lottery number of the lottery ticket sent to a store may be separated further.
[0035]
In addition, it is sufficient for each dealer to be able to manage the lottery number of the lottery ticket sent to the dealer, and it is not necessary to know the lottery number for other dealers. Only send data about the dealer.
[0036]
As described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8, the management method of the present embodiment is characterized by associating lottery numbers with multidimensional symbol information, and information on some dimensions of the symbol information. By associating with a store, the amount of data to be held in the table is reduced. Here, “multidimensional symbol information” is information of each dimension of a pair symbol, a symbol, and a bag number, and data that specifically indicates how to associate is held in the lottery number management table. “Associating part of the dimension information with the dealer” means that the dealer is associated with the information on the dimension of the set symbol and the bag number in each of the above dimensions. The representative data is stored in the management table for each store.
[0037]
FIG. 9 is a reference diagram showing an outline of functions of a number conversion processing unit that performs data conversion while referring to the above-described lottery number management table and dealer-specific management table.
[0038]
As shown to Fig.9 (a), a number conversion process part converts a lottery number into the combination of a set symbol and a bag number. First of all, a symbol and a bag number are obtained based on a 6-digit number part (“100000” to “199999”) excluding the set number in the lottery number, and the set matches the set number. This can be done by obtaining the symbol. Conversely, the number conversion processing unit can specify a bag from the combination of the set symbol and the bag number and convert it into 10 types of lottery numbers, and further specify one of the 10 types of lottery numbers by the symbols. be able to.
[0039]
Also, as shown in FIG. 9B, the number conversion processing unit converts the combination of the set symbol and the branch number into a store code. Conversely, the store code is converted into a set of combinations of set symbols and branch numbers. Here, the store code is a code stored in the store-specific management table. As described above, the code for the primary dealer is held in the management table for each dealer in the selling source system, and the code for the second dealer is held in the management table for each dealer in the dealer system. ing.
[0040]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a procedure for managing a lottery ticket including the data processing described above. First, in step S1 of FIG. 10, data is set in the lottery number management table. At this time, data setting including random elements may be performed by using a device, circuit, or program that generates random numbers or pseudo-random numbers. Next, in step S2, bag number data is generated based on the data in the lottery number management table, and the lottery ticket is packed in accordance with this data.
[0041]
Next, in step S3, a set symbol and branch number are assigned to the store, and data is set in the store-specific management table. Also in setting data in the management table for each store, data setting including a random element may be performed as in step S1. In step S4, in accordance with the data in the management table for each store, the packed lottery ticket is sent from the organization that manages the release to the store. In step S5, the data of the lottery number management table and the store-specific management table is sent from the release source system side to the store system side.
[0042]
Then, the store that has received the lottery ticket and data to be sent checks the data against the lottery ticket in step S6, and further sends the lottery ticket to the second store in step S7. At the same time, the secondary store data is set in the management data for each store.
[0043]
By using the method described above, it is possible to record the lottery number management table data and store-by-store without recording as to which store each 10 million types of lottery numbers are sold. By only managing the data in the management table, it is possible to associate the lottery number with the store in both directions.
[0044]
Next, a method for improving the distribution of lottery tickets using the bagging number data will be described. FIG. 11 is a process configuration diagram showing a process from printing a lottery ticket to bagging and sending it to a store. In FIG. 11, first, a sheet on which a plurality of lottery tickets are continuously printed is printed by the printing machine 71. Then, the sheet is cut into one lottery ticket by the cutting machine 72. The cut lottery tickets are classified into a bundle of 10 sheets by the stacking device 73. Next, the bag filling device 74 packs the bags in units of bundles, and the retailer sorting device 75 sorts and packs the bags containing ten lottery tickets for each destination retailer.
[0045]
At this time, the release source system 10 sends the stacking device 73, the bagging device 74, and the retailer sorting device 75 to the stacking device 73, the bagging device 74, based on the bagging number data 33a generated from the lottery number management table 31a and the retailer management table 32a. Give instructions. In addition, when the sorting apparatus 75 classified by retailer performs the sorting, a delivery slip to the retailer, a label indicating the retailer code, and the retailer name may be printed so as to be visible from the surface of the delivery. As a result, it is possible to eliminate work mistakes at the time of bagging, mistakes in the destination, etc., and improve the efficiency of distribution.
[0046]
Further, the bag numbering data 33a may be transferred to the printing machine 71, and the printing order of the lottery numbers may be determined according to the order of bag packing based on the transferred data. Thereby, the space required for the classification of the lottery ticket can be reduced, and the stack device 73 can be downsized or made unnecessary.
[0047]
The above-described sales source system and store system are realized using a computer system. Further, the lottery number management table, the store-specific management table, and the bagging number data are stored in the storage device of the computer system. Each process performed by the number conversion processing unit is stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a program, and the above processing is performed by the computer reading and executing the program. Here, the computer-readable recording medium means a floppy disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a magnetic hard disk, a semiconductor memory, or the like.
[0048]
In the above embodiment, the release source system and the store system are connected by a network, and the data of the lottery number management table and the store-specific management table is transmitted via this network. Instead, the data may be reflected from the distributor system to the dealer system. For this purpose, for example, data is written on a portable recording medium (floppy disk, CD-ROM, etc.) and sent together with a lottery ticket.
Further, the devices constituting the dealer system do not necessarily exist at the place of the dealer, and part or all of them may exist at a place away from the dealer. For example, an organization that manages sales is an ASP (Application Service Provider), and a number conversion processing unit, lottery number management table, retail management table, and bag for all dealers are installed in a center that is operated by the organization that manages sales. The stuffing number data may be provided, and only the processing result may be transmitted to the store via the network and displayed.
[0049]
Further, in the above embodiment, the lottery number system is described as a lottery number system composed of “01 set” to “100 set” set numbers and “100000” to “199999” 6-digit numbers. The present invention may be applied to a lottery ticket having a lottery number other than this.
[0050]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, an enormous number of lottery numbers are converted into fewer types of symbols and bag numbers based on data held in the lottery number management table, and the bag numbers are used. Since the lottery ticket is managed, the size of data for management can be reduced.
[0051]
In addition, according to the present invention, since the relationship between the bag number and the store is held and managed in the store-specific management table, which number of lottery tickets is sent to which store with small data. Can be managed.
[0052]
In addition, according to the present invention, a dealer system having a lottery number conversion function is provided, and in order to send data of a lottery number management table and a dealer-specific management table to the dealer system side, It is possible to check whether the lottery ticket sent to your store is the number that should be sent to your own store, and whether the winning lottery ticket was sold at your store. It becomes possible to search easily, and when a lottery ticket is stolen or burnt out at a store, the lottery number can be easily specified.
[0053]
Further, according to the present invention, when the sales organization has a hierarchical structure, information on the second and subsequent dealers can be held in the dealer-specific management table. It is possible to manage not only the delivery to the primary dealer but also the subsequent delivery to the secondary dealer and the third dealer.

A store-specific management table that holds the relationship between the bag number and the store of the lottery ticket corresponding to the bag number is stored in a storage device, and the number conversion processing unit uses the store-specific management table. By managing the relationship between the lottery number and the store,
The lottery number of the lottery ticket includes M kinds (M ≧ 1) of pair symbols, and the bag number and the branch number are associated with each other so that a certain branch number represents a plurality of the bag numbers. In this case, the store-specific management table classifies the group numbers into L groups (L ≧ 1, J × L = M) for each of the J types, and the permutation of the group numbers belonging to each of the L groups. Is stored in correspondence with a combination of a pair symbol corresponding to each permutation of (L × J) types generated by making J different in J ways and the branch number.
