Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a public competition system including a user terminal which is a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the public competition system 1 includes a user terminal 10, a voting server 20, and a network 30, and the user terminal 10 and the voting server 20 are communicably connected via the network 30. ing.

  The user terminal 10 is a terminal device used for voting in public competitions such as horse racing, bicycle racing, boat racing, or auto racing, and is, for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, or a PC. In the following, voting for public competition is simply called voting.

  The voting server 20 receives a vote from a user performed using the user terminal 10, manages voting data related to the received vote, and the like.

  The network 30 is, for example, a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), or the Internet, or a network in which they are mixed. The network 30 is a network composed of one or both of a wired network and a wireless network.

  In FIG. 1, only one user terminal 10 is shown for convenience of explanation, but actually there are a plurality of user terminals 10, and each of the other user terminals 10 not shown is also shown. The voting server 20 is communicably connected via the network 30.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a functional block configuration example of the user terminal 10.
As shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal 10 includes a control unit 101, an input unit 102, a communication unit 103, a voting history data storage unit 104, a generation unit 105, a voting ticket image data storage unit 106, a display unit 107, and a vote. A history data update unit 108 and a voting ticket image data update unit 109 are included. The stamp image data storage unit 110 indicated by a broken line will be described later.

The control unit 101 controls the overall operation of the user terminal 10.
The input unit 102 receives various inputs from the user. For example, the input unit 102 receives an input related to voting, an input related to a user's past voting content inquiry request, and the like.

  The communication unit 103 is connected to the network 30 and communicates with an external device such as the voting server 20. For example, the communication unit 103 transmits voting data corresponding to an input related to voting accepted by the input unit 102 to the voting server 20 and receives the voting data acceptance result from the voting server 20. Further, for example, when the communication unit 103 receives an input related to a voting content inquiry request from the input unit 102, the voting results are not reflected in the voting history data stored in the voting history data storage unit 104. When the history data is included, the voting result inquiry request regarding the voting history data not reflected in the voting result is transmitted to the voting server 20 and the voting result for the voting result inquiry request is received from the voting server 20.

  The voting history data storage unit 104 stores the voting history data including the voting data when the reception result of the voting data received by the communication unit 103 is reception permission.

  When the reception result of the voting data received by the communication unit 103 is reception permission, the generation unit 105 generates voting ticket image data based on the voting data.

  The betting ticket image data storage unit 106 stores the betting ticket image data generated by the generation unit 105.

  The display unit 107 performs various displays. For example, the display unit 107 displays voting ticket image data stored in the voting ticket image data storage unit 106 when an input related to a vote content inquiry request is received by the input unit 102.

  The voting history data update unit 108 updates the voting history data stored in the voting history data storage unit 104. For example, the voting history data update unit 108 updates the corresponding voting history data stored in the voting history data storage unit 104 based on the voting result for the voting result inquiry request received by the communication unit 103.

  The betting ticket image data update unit 109 updates the corresponding betting ticket image data stored in the betting ticket image data storage unit 106 based on the voting history data updated by the voting history data update unit 108.

  Note that the voting ticket image data updated by the voting ticket image data update unit 109 can be distinguished by the user when the updated voting ticket image data is displayed by the display unit 107. This is the voting ticket image data. Alternatively, the voting ticket image data updated by the voting ticket image data updating unit 109 may be a high payout target, a high payout target when the updated voting ticket image data is displayed by the display unit 107, or This is voting ticket image data that makes it possible for the user to distinguish the inside.

  There are, for example, the following two methods (first and second methods) for updating the betting ticket image data by the betting ticket image data updating unit 109.

  In the first method, the voting ticket image data updating unit 109 generates updated voting ticket image data based on the voting history data updated by the voting history data updating unit 108 and stores the updated voting ticket image data in the voting ticket image data storage unit 106. The voting ticket image data is updated by replacing the corresponding voting ticket image data with the updated voting ticket image data. In this first method, when the voting ticket image data update unit 109 generates the updated voting ticket image data based on the voting history data updated by the voting history data update unit 108, the updated voting history When the data includes a combination number (also referred to as a combination number or a purchase item) having a combination that is the target and a combination that is not appropriate, the target voting ticket image data is displayed when the display unit 107 displays the updated voting ticket image data. The updated voting ticket image data is generated so that the user can distinguish between the combination in the middle and the combination in the middle.

  In the second method, the user terminal 10 is further provided with a stamp image data storage unit 110 for storing the target stamp image data and the target stamp image data, and the voting ticket image data update unit 109 performs voting. Based on the voting history data updated by the history data updating unit 108, the corresponding voting ticket image data stored in the voting ticket image data storage unit 106 is stored in the stamp image data storage unit 110. This is a method for updating voting ticket image data by combining stamp image data or improper middle stamp image data. Alternatively, in the second method, the user terminal 10 stores the stamp image data storage unit 110 in which the high-priced target stamp image data, the non-high-priced target stamp image data, and the unsuccessful medium stamp image data are stored. The voting ticket image data update unit 109 further includes corresponding voting ticket image data stored in the voting ticket image data storage unit 106 based on the voting history data updated by the voting history data update unit 108. The voting ticket image data is updated by synthesizing the high-priced target stamp image data, the non-high-priced target stamp image data, or the unsuccessful medium stamp image data stored in the stamp image data storage unit 110. It is a method to do.

The place name is the venue for the voting race. The date is the date of the voting target race. The date is the date of the voting race. The race number is the voting target race (the race number of the voting target race). Each type is a type of voting ticket and is also called a betting type. For example, in horse racing, there are “single win”, “double win”, “wide”, “frame run”, “horse run”, “triple run”, “triple run”, and the like. The voting format is a type of voting method. For example, in horse racing, there are “normal”, “sink”, “box”, “formation” and the like. The combination number is a combination number to be voted, and is also referred to as a buying eye. The amount is the voting amount per combination in the combination number (buying eyes). The total is the total amount of votes. The file name is a file name of voting ticket image data corresponding to the voting history data. The update date and time is the update date and time of the voting history data (date and time when the voting result is reflected). The arrival order is the arrival order of the races to be voted on. The hit status indicates whether the voting result is hit or hit. When the updated voting ticket image data is generated on the basis of the voting history data, the stamp includes any updated voting ticket image data with any stamp (such as hitting, 10,000 horse tickets, or 10,000 boat tickets). It indicates whether it is intended or not stamped. The hit amount is the hit amount. The dividend is a refund per hit amount of 100 yen. The refund is a refund of the correct amount.

Next, the operation of the user terminal 10 in the public competition system 1 will be described.
The operation of the user terminal 10 is performed by the CPU 127 executing an OS program or application program stored in the ROM 129.

  In the user terminal 10, when a predetermined input is performed by the user via the input device 123, the CPU 127 displays a menu screen on the display 122.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the menu screen.
As shown in FIG. 8, the menu screen 141 includes a “voting” button 142 and an “inquiry” button 143. When an input for pressing the “vote” button 142 is made by the user via the input device 123 on the menu screen 141, the CPU 127 starts the voting operation shown in FIG. 9, and the user votes. Can do. In addition, when an input for pressing the “inquiry” button 143 is performed by the user via the input device 123 (input relating to a vote content inquiry request), the CPU 127 starts an inquiry operation shown in FIG. Can inquire about the contents of past votes.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the voting operation of the user terminal 10.
As shown in FIG. 9, when the voting operation starts, the CPU 127 first determines the place name, race number, expression, and voting according to the user's input (input regarding voting) performed via the input device 123. A format, a set number, an amount, etc. are selected (S110).

  Subsequently, the CPU 127 displays a confirmation screen for the user's vote content based on the selection in S110 on the display 122 (S120).

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the confirmation screen.
As shown in FIG. 11, the confirmation screen 151 includes the user's vote content 152 and a “vote” button 153.

  When an input for pressing the “vote” button 153 is performed by the user via the input device 123 on the confirmation screen 151, the CPU 127 sends a telegram including voting data based on the selection in S110 to the voting server 20. (S130). Note that the voting data is data such as place name, date, date, race number, expression, voting format, set number, amount, and total.

  Subsequently, the CPU 127 receives a message including the reception result of the voting data included in the message transmitted in S130 from the voting server 20 (S140), and determines whether or not the reception result is reception permission (S150). ). If the electronic message received in S140 includes a reception permission reception result, the electronic message further includes a reception No. issued to the vote data for which the reception permission has been granted. Including data.

If the determination result in S150 is No, the process returns to S110.
On the other hand, if the determination result in S150 is Yes, the CPU 127 receives the current date and time data that is the voting date and the reception No. included in the message received in S140. Is stored in the voting history data table stored in the ROM 129, the voting data included in the message transmitted in S130, and the file name of the voting ticket image data generated in S160. S160). Note that the file name of the voting ticket image data generated in S160 uniquely corresponds to the voting history data. By this S160, the voting history data is stored in the voting history data table, such as the voting history data of the first record of the voting history data table shown in FIG. The

  After S160, the CPU 127 generates voting ticket image data based on the voting data included in the electronic message transmitted in S130 (also the voting data included in the voting history data stored in the voting history data table in S160). And stored in the ROM 129 (S170).

12 and 13 are diagrams showing an example of the voting ticket image data.
The voting ticket image data 161 shown in FIG. 12 is voting ticket image data generated based on the voting data included in the voting history data of the first record in the voting history data table shown in FIG. The voting ticket image data 162 shown in FIG. 13 is generated based on the voting data included in the voting history data of the second record (the voting history data whose reception number is 2) in the voting history data table shown in FIG. Voting ticket image data.

  Note that these voting ticket image data 161 and 162 include image data 161a and 162a indicating that the voting result is unconfirmed (waiting for the race result).

  When S170 in FIG. 9 ends, the voting operation ends, and for example, the CPU 127 displays the menu screen 141 (see FIG. 8) on the display 122 again.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the inquiry operation of the user terminal 10.
As shown in FIG. 10, when the inquiry operation starts, the CPU 127 first reads all the voting history data from the voting history data table stored in the ROM 129 (S210).

  Subsequently, the CPU 127 determines whether or not the voting history data that has not been reflected in the voting result is included in the voting history data read in S210 (S220). Note that the voting history data whose voting results have not been reflected is the update date / time, arrival order, hit status, stamp, target hit amount, as in the case of voting history data stored in the vote history data table shown in FIG. This is voting history data that does not include dividend and refund data.

  When the determination result in S220 is Yes, the CPU 127 determines, for each voting history data in which the voting result is not reflected, the reception No. included in the voting history data. The voting server 20 is inquired of the voting result by using the data of the key (S230). More specifically, the CPU 127 sets the reception No. included in the voting history data for each voting history data whose voting result is not reflected. The voting result inquiry request message including the data is transmitted to the voting server 20 and the response message is received from the voting server 20. The response message includes data indicating whether or not the voting result has been confirmed. When the response message includes data indicating that the voting result has been confirmed, the response message further includes data regarding the voting result (the order of arrival, the target amount, Data on dividends and refunds).

  After S230, the CPU 127 determines whether there is a confirmed voting result as a result of the inquiry in S230 (S240).

  When the determination result in S240 is Yes, the CPU 127 reflects the confirmed voting result in the voting history data in which the voting result is not reflected, and updates the voting history data (S250). More specifically, the CPU 127 obtains the data of the current time that is the update date and time, the data related to the voting result included in the response message received from the voting server 20, and the hit status and stamp data based on the data related to the voting result. The voting result stored in the voting history data table stored in the ROM 129 is added to the voting history data not yet reflected. Thereby, for example, the voting history data stored in the voting history data table shown in FIG. 4 is like the voting history data stored in the voting history data table shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6, or FIG. It will be updated.

  After S250, the CPU 127 generates updated voting ticket image data based on the voting history data updated in S250, and stores the updated voting ticket image data corresponding to the file name stored in the ROM 129. In place of the image data, the voting ticket image data is updated (S260).

14 to 16 are diagrams showing an example of the updated voting ticket image data.
The updated voting ticket image data 171 shown in FIG. 14 is voting ticket image data generated based on the voting history data of the first record in the voting history data table shown in FIG. The updated voting ticket image data 171 includes image data 171a, 171b, 171c, and the like corresponding to a set number (3-5-7), a refund (1370 yen), a stamp (middle), etc. in the voting history data. .

  The updated voting ticket image data 172 shown in FIG. 15 is voting ticket image data generated based on the voting history data of the first record in the voting history data table shown in FIG. The updated voting ticket image data 172 includes image data 172a and 172b corresponding to a set number (3-5-7) and a refund (0 yen) in the voting history data.

  The updated voting ticket image data 173 shown in FIG. 16 is voting ticket image data generated based on the voting history data of the first record in the voting history data table shown in FIG. The updated voting ticket image data 173 includes image data 173a, 173b, 173c and the like corresponding to a set number (3-5-7), a refund (39500 yen), a stamp (10,000 horse tickets), etc. in the voting history data. .

  The updated voting ticket image data 174 shown in FIG. 17 is voting ticket image data generated based on the voting history data of the second record in the voting history data table shown in FIG. The updated voting ticket image data 174 is image data 174a, 174b, and 174c corresponding to a set number (2-5, 5-2), a refund (250,000 yen), a stamp (Mansen ticket), etc. in the voting history data. Etc.

  14 to 17, in the updated updated voting ticket image data (see FIGS. 14, 16, and 17), the outline is colored, for example, red.

  Further, in the updated voting ticket image data (see FIG. 16 and FIG. 17) in the middle of a high payout, the outline is further thickened, and image data 173a and 174a corresponding to the set number in the voting history data, and voting The image data 173b and 174b corresponding to the refund amount in the history data is colored red, for example. However, as shown in FIG. 17, when the combination number (2-5, 5-2) in the voting history data has the right combination (2-5) and the wrong combination (5-2). Is colored only in the part corresponding to the target combination. The above content is an example for emphasizing the combination of hits, and it is possible to change the type by changing the font, adding a pattern to the background or letters, adding letters or symbols around, etc. It is also possible to emphasize the combination.

  In FIG. 10, when the determination result of S220 is No, when the determination result of S240 is No, or after S260, the CPU 127 displays the betting ticket image data stored in the ROM 129 on the display 122 (S270). Thereby, for example, the voting ticket image data shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 and the updated voting ticket image data shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 are displayed on the display 122. The display format of voting ticket image data is the same as the display format of image data on, for example, a conventional smartphone or PC. In this case, the CPU 127 displays image data, for example, one or more on the display 122 in response to a user instruction input made via the input device 123.

  After S270, for example, when a predetermined input is performed by the user via the input device 123, the inquiry operation is terminated, and the CPU 127 displays the menu screen 141 (see FIG. 8) on the display 122 again.

  As described above, according to the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment, when the user inquires about past voting contents, all the voting histories stored in the voting history data table stored in the ROM 129 are stored. If the data has already been reflected in the voting results, the user can inquire about the contents of the past voting without communication between the user terminal 10 and the voting server 20. Therefore, in such a case, regardless of the communication traffic and the load state of the voting server 20, the user can always inquire about past voting contents. In such a case, it goes without saying that the inquiry can be made even if the inquiry time of the user is outside the use time of the voting server 20.

  Further, when the user inquires about the contents of the past voting, the contents of the voting are displayed on the display 122 as a voting ticket image, so that the user can easily find the target voting contents, Thus, it is not necessary to find out based on the reception number (reception number) notified at the time of past voting, and it is freed from the troublesomeness. In addition, the user simply looks at the image of the voting ticket, whether the voting result is unconfirmed (waiting for the race result), whether the voting result is the content of the voting that is a high dividend, the voting result It is possible to recognize whether or not the voting content is a hit that is not a high payout, or whether the voting result is an unsuccessful voting content.

The user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment can be modified as follows.
For example, when voting ticket image data is updated by the second method described above, the following modifications are made.

  The ROM 129 stores the hit stamp image data and the hit stamp image data in advance. Alternatively, the ROM 129 stores in advance high-interest target stamp image data, non-high pay target stamp image data, and inadequate intermediate stamp image data. The target stamp image data or the target stamp image data that is not a high payout is, for example, the image data 171c shown in FIG. The improper medium stamp image data is, for example, the image data 172b shown in FIG. The high payout hit stamp image data is, for example, the image data 173c shown in FIG. 16 or the image data 174c shown in FIG.

  Then, in S260 of FIG. 10, the CPU 127 stores the hit stamp image stored in the ROM 129 in the voting ticket image data corresponding to the file name stored in the ROM 129 based on the voting history data updated in S250. The voting ticket image data is updated by combining the data or the improper medium stamp image data. Alternatively, based on the voting history data updated in S250, the CPU 127 stores the high payout target stamp image data stored in the ROM 129 in the voting ticket image data corresponding to the file name stored in the ROM 129. The ballot ticket image data is updated by synthesizing the hit stamp image data that is not a payout or the hit stamp image data.

  However, in such a modified example, the voting ticket image data generated in S170 of FIG. 9 is an image indicating that the voting result is unconfirmed (waiting for the race result) as shown in FIG. 12 or FIG. Data 161a or 162a is not included.

  Further, for example, in the flowchart showing the inquiry operation shown in FIG. 10, when the determination result in S220 is Yes, the user may be able to select whether or not to make an inquiry in S230. In this case, for example, if the determination result in S220 is Yes, it is determined whether or not to make an inquiry in S230 according to the user's selection input made via the input device 123, and the determination result is Yes. In this case, the process may proceed to S230, and when the determination result is No, the process may proceed to S270. According to such a modification, the user can select a past vote anytime without performing communication between the user terminal 10 and the voting server 20 by making a selection input that does not make an inquiry in S230. The contents (however, excluding the voting result in the voting history data not reflected in the voting result) can be inquired. Note that the case where the user performs selection input without making an inquiry in S230 is, for example, the case where the user wants to immediately inquire only about the contents of voting at the time of past voting.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
