JP7792142B2 - Information provision method, information provision system, and information provision program - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to an information provision method, an information provision system, and an information provision program, and is related to the provision of information on publicly managed racing events.

Traditionally, in publicly managed sports events such as boat racing, horse racing, bicycle racing, and auto racing, advance odds information, which can be used as a reference when placing bets, is displayed on monitors at the venue before the race. The specified information (race information) displayed on the monitor is usually switched based on a preset schedule. For example, odds information for a specified race corresponding to multiple betting types is displayed at predetermined intervals, requiring fans to search for and confirm the desired information from the monitor display. A display device, for example, displays odds information on a monitor. For example, in the case of boat racing, a group number refers to a number or combination of numbers that can be voted on (selected). In a boat race with six boats, if the betting type is win, the group numbers range from 1 to 6. In this case, the total number of group numbers is six. In addition to win, betting types include place, quinella, quinella, trifecta, trifecta, and extended combination. The display device displays the group number and the odds information corresponding to that group number.

For example, the horse racing information distribution system disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes "an information management server that obtains various horse racing information from a host system and creates information for screens, and an information distribution server that downloads various information in response to requests from terminals connected via communication lines. The information management server has a configuration file that indicates which data from the various horse racing information obtained from the host system is necessary for multiple style sheets that serve as templates for screen creation, and a data setting means that selects the necessary data from the various horse racing information for each style sheet based on the configuration information in the configuration file. The information distribution server has a memory unit that stores a terminal application program dedicated to the terminal, the multiple style sheets used by the terminal application program, and the horse racing information selected for each style sheet by the information management server, and downloads each piece of information stored in the memory unit in response to requests from the terminal." This horse racing information distribution system also has a data editing function that allows users to select which odds to display using the application or style sheet, and displays odds information on the terminal (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-087328

The horse racing information distribution system disclosed in Patent Document 1 allows users to select the odds to display on the display device. Odds information is a list of numbers representing the payout ratio for each group number. Users look at these numbers to select the betting ticket to purchase. For example, if users simply look at the odds information corresponding to the group number before the deadline for purchasing betting tickets, they can predict the payout amount for the purchased betting ticket. However, when selecting betting tickets based on odds information, while the popularity ranking of each group number can be determined, it is difficult to determine the level of support for that group number. Furthermore, the range of fluctuation in odds information for popular group numbers is relatively small compared to less popular group numbers. Even if there is a concentrated purchase of betting tickets for a popular group number in a short period of time, the range of fluctuation in odds is small, making it difficult to understand the trends of others purchasing betting tickets.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an information provision system, information provision method, and information provision program that make it easier to understand changes in betting ticket purchasing trends over time.

The information provision system of the present invention is an information provision system for publicly managed racing races that displays information on the display unit of a terminal connected via a communication line, and includes a receiving unit that receives odds information for the group number of at least one ticket type that can be purchased as a betting ticket for a publicly managed racing race from a host system, a timing unit that associates the odds information obtained by the receiving unit with time information at which the odds information was obtained, a data processing unit that calculates, from the odds information, the support rate for the group number at the time the odds information was obtained, and a display processing unit that displays the support rate calculated by the data processing unit on the display unit.

The information provision method of the present invention is a method for providing information about publicly managed racing that is executed by a computer and displays information on the display unit of a terminal connected via a communication line. The method obtains odds information for the group number of at least one ticket type that can be purchased as a betting ticket for a publicly managed racing game, associates the obtained odds information with time information at which the odds information was obtained, calculates the support rate for the group number from the odds information at the time the odds information was obtained, and displays the calculated support rate on the display unit.

The information provision program of the present invention is for causing a computer to execute the above-mentioned information provision method.

According to the present invention, odds information is converted into support ratings and displayed, making it easier for users to grasp overall trends in betting ticket purchases and directly grasp trends in the popularity of each race number.

Furthermore, parts with the same reference numerals in each drawing represent the same or equivalent parts, and this applies throughout the entire specification.

Embodiment 1.
1 is a system configuration diagram and functional block diagram of an information provision system according to embodiment 1. As shown in the figure, the information provision system 1000 includes an information provision device 100 and any n (n≧1) client terminals 50 ₁ to 50 _n , and the information provision device 100 and the client terminals 50 ₁ to 50 _n can communicate with each other via the Internet 90, which serves as a WAN (Wide Area Network). The information provision system 1000 according to embodiment 1 is a system that provides information on races of publicly managed sports (horse racing, bicycle racing, auto racing, and boat racing), and in particular processes odds information K _tk obtained from organizers and the like to provide information in a form that is easy for users to use. In the information providing system 1000, the information providing device 100 processes the odds information K _{tk based on the distributed odds information K tk and} vote count information V _tk , and displays the processed information on the client terminals 50 ₁ to 50 _n connected to the information providing device 100 via a line such as the Internet.

The information providing device 100 is a server computer managed and operated by an information provider or the like, and is equipped with a web server function and a database function for storing large amounts of data. The client terminals 50 ₁ to 50 _n are owned and used primarily by users who purchase betting tickets for publicly managed races. They are communication terminals with data communication functions, such as personal computers, tablets, smartphones, and mobile phone terminals. The client terminals 50 ₁ to 50 _n each have an operation unit 51 ₁ to 51 _n used to input various instructions, such as a mouse or keyboard, and a display unit 52 ₁ to 52 n consisting of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like, which displays various instructions and images input from the operation unit 51 ₁ to 51 _{n .} However, the operation units 51 ₁ to 51 _n and the display units 52 ₁ to 52 _n may be configured as a touch panel or the like that is operated by an operator touching or moving a finger or a touch pen on the screen. Note that the client terminals 50 ₁ to 50 _n , the operation units 51 ₁ to 51 _n , and the display units 52 ₁ to 52 _n have the same configuration, and therefore will be referred to as the client terminal 50, the operation unit 51, and the display unit 52, respectively, hereinafter, unless it is necessary to distinguish between them.

1, the information providing device 100 and the client terminals 50 ₁ to 50 _n each include at least one CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory) that functions as the CPU's work area, a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores a startup boot program, etc., an auxiliary storage device such as a hard disk that stores various programs and data, a communication interface used for sending and receiving data, etc. The auxiliary storage device stores programs for the OS (Operating System), various application programs, data stored in databases, etc., and these programs and data work together with hardware resources to realize various functions through the arithmetic processing of the CPU.

The information providing device 100 may be formed by a single server computer or by multiple network computer systems.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information providing device 100 has a data processing unit 10 as a functional means realized based on the various programs and hardware resources described above, and a memory unit 12 in which various data processed by the data processing unit 10 is recorded.

The receiving unit 11 receives odds information K _tk via the Internet 90 and sends it to the data processing unit 10. The input unit 13 accepts data related to information required by the user input from the client terminal 50 and performs various processes that form the basis of data processing in the data processing unit 10. In the first embodiment, the input unit 13 includes a display data type input unit 22 (see FIG. 5) that allows the user to select data that the user wants to display on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50, and a time input unit 23 (see FIG. 5) that specifies a time range in which the user wants to display or calculate the odds information K _tk , the support rate S _tk , and the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) .

The data processing unit 10 performs processes such as generating and processing various data used in the information providing device 100, and further includes functional means such as a timekeeping unit 15, a support rate calculation unit 16, a differential support rate calculation unit 17, and a display processing unit 18.

The timing unit 15 associates time information with the odds information K _tk . The timing unit 15 may be hardware that manages time information provided in the information providing device 100, or may be a function that recognizes time information included in the information received by the receiving unit 11.

The support rate calculation unit 16 is a functional block that calculates the support rate S _tk based on the acquired odds information K _tk , etc. The support rate S _tk is calculated from the payout rate R of a predetermined ticket type for a predetermined race in a publicly managed gaming event and the odds information K _tk corresponding to the group number, and is obtained, for example, from (Equation 4) described below.

The differential support rate calculation unit 17 calculates the differential support rate ΔS _(tk−t0) of each group number based on the support rate S _tk of each group number calculated by the support rate calculation unit 16 .

The display processing unit 18 retrieves information such as odds information K _tk , support rate S _tk , and differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) from the storage unit 12 or the like to display on the client terminal 50, and processes the information in an appropriate form based on information such as the type of display data and the time range desired to be displayed input by the user on the client terminal 50. The display processing unit 18 also generates image data to be displayed on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50.

The output unit 14 transmits data processed by the display processing unit 18 and generated image data to the client terminal 50.

The storage unit 12 records data used by the information providing device 100. A database 21 is formed in the storage unit 12. The database 21 in this embodiment 1 is formed by a relational database, but any format suitable for recording and rewriting large amounts of data, such as an object database, may be used. For example, the database 21 stores odds information K _tk , support rate S _tk , differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) , and time information tk for each pair number available for betting in a predetermined race of a publicly managed racing game, each associated with the other.

The data processing unit 10, memory unit 12, input unit 13, output unit 14, timing unit 15, support rate calculation unit 16, differential support rate calculation unit 17, display processing unit 18, ranking display processing unit 19, and time progression display processing unit 20 in the information providing device 100 may be configured in any form. For example, if the information providing device 100 is configured as a network computer system consisting of multiple server computers, each component may be distributed across multiple server computers. Furthermore, these server computers may be distributed across computer systems owned by multiple vendors or server administrators (e.g., computer systems owned or managed by other information providers, providers, hosting system providers, etc.). The server computers may be configured as a so-called cloud computer system. Furthermore, at least some of the components of the data processing unit 10, memory unit 12, input unit 13, output unit 14, timing unit 15, support rate calculation unit 16, differential support rate calculation unit 17, display processing unit 18, rank display processing unit 19, and time progression display processing unit 20 may be provided in the client terminal 50 that constitutes the information provision system 1000, rather than in the information provision device 100.

Next, a processing procedure for the odds information K _tk to be displayed on the client terminal 50 in the information providing system 1000 of this embodiment 1 will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the odds information K _tk to be displayed on the client terminal 50 in the information providing device 100 according to the first embodiment.

The information providing device 100 obtains odds information K _tk for a predetermined race held by a sponsor of a publicly managed race or the like from a host system 1 (step S1). The host system 1 is a server computer managed and operated by an information provider or organization that provides real-time data related to races, including the odds information K _tk , and is equipped with a web server function and a database function for storing large amounts of data. The information providing device 100, for example, undergoes user authentication from the host system 1, requests data, and obtains the requested data using the receiving unit 11.

The information providing device 100 processes the acquired data. In the first embodiment, the data processing unit 10 associates the odds information K _tk with the time information tk (step S2) and stores the associated data in the storage unit 12. The odds information K _tk and the time information tk may be included in the data acquired by the receiving unit 11 from the higher-level system 1 in advance. In this case, the odds information K _tk and the time information tk received by the receiving unit 11 may be stored in the storage unit 12 as they are. If the data received by the receiving unit 11 does not include the time information tk, the time information tk output by the timing unit 15 is associated with the odds information K _tk and stored in the storage unit 12.

The information providing device 100 calculates an index value for each group number based on the odds information K _tk (step S3). The index value is, for example, a support rate S _tk or a differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) , and is obtained by processing the odds information K _tk using a predetermined method. The index value may also include the odds information K _tk itself, data on the ranking of each group number based on the support rate S _tk , and data on the ranking of each group number based on the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) . The storage unit 12 has constructed a database 21 that associates each group number, time information tk, odds information K _tk , and support rate S _tk . The differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) may be calculated each time in response to a request from the client terminal 50 received by the input unit 13, or it may be calculated in advance and stored in the database 21 in association with the time information tk.

The information providing device 100 displays the index values processed by the data processing unit 10 on the client terminal 50 (step S4). The display processing unit 18 processes the index values so as to display the data in a format that meets the user request received by the input unit 13.

FIG. 3 is an example of a table displayed on the client terminal 50 by the information providing device 100 according to the first embodiment. This diagram shows a horse race as an example, and the display content may be changed as appropriate for other publicly managed sports events. This diagram mainly displays basic information about the race, including the race name, race details, information about the participating horses, and odds information _Ktk. Column M shows the horse number, which is the betting ticket number for a win bet. Column K shows odds information _Ktk . Column K1 shows odds information Ktk for a win bet, and column K2 shows odds information _Ktk for a horse number quinella bet. Columns K1 and K2 can also display other odds information _Ktk . While the odds information _Ktk shown in column K is basically the latest odds information _Ktk , odds information _Ktk from a certain time in the past can also be displayed.

In the embodiment, when odds information K _tk is displayed, it means the odds at a certain time tk. The time information is represented as t0, t1, t2, ..., tk, and the information providing device 100 acquires and stores the odds information K _t0 , K _t1 , K _t2 , ..., K _tk at each time.

FIG. 4 shows an example of odds information for publicly managed racing games processed by the information providing device 100 according to embodiment 1 and an index value obtained by processing the odds information. FIG. 4( a) shows an example of odds information K _tk obtained by the information providing device 100 from the host system 1 shown in FIG. 1 and stored as a database 21. Based on the obtained odds information K _tk , the information providing device 100 according to embodiment 1 generates a database 21 that associates the support rate S _tk and the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) for each pair of bets with each piece of time information tk, as shown in FIG. 4. However, the database 21 generated by the information providing device 100 is not limited to the form shown in FIG. 4, and the way in which each piece of data is associated with each other can be changed as appropriate depending on the convenience of data processing.

Publicly managed sports events include horse racing, bicycle racing, auto racing, and boat racing, in which multiple horses or people compete in a race. Those who purchase betting tickets can receive a refund based on the results of the race. For example, in the case of Japan's national horse racing, the refund amount is set as follows:
x=(W+D/P)×R... (Formula 1)
x: Total payout amount W: Total face value of pari-mutuel betting tickets for the winning horse D: Total face value of pari-mutuel betting tickets for horses that ran in the race but are not the winning horse P: Number of winning horses R: Payout rate determined by the organizer for each betting method

That is, for example, if the betting ticket type is a win bet, there is one winning horse, and (Equation 1) becomes as follows:
x=(W+D)×R=X×R...(Formula 2)
X: All voting ticket denominations of that ticket type

If the odds for a certain group number are K, K can be calculated as follows.
K={(W+D)×R}/W=(X×R)/W... (Formula 3)

The above (Equation 3) can be transformed as follows:
R/K=W/X=S... (Formula 4)

In Equation 4 above, W/X means (total face value of the winning horse) / (face value of all betting tickets of that ticket type), which corresponds to the winning horse's popularity rating S. Here, popularity rating S refers to the percentage of tickets purchased for that winning horse out of the total face value of all betting tickets of that ticket type. In publicly managed sports events, the payout rate R set by the organizer for each betting method (win, place, etc.) is fixed, so the popularity rating S of the winning horse can be calculated from the odds K for the winning horse's combination number. In JRA, the ticket types available for purchase as betting tickets include win, place, bracket, quinella, wide, exacta, trifecta, trifecta, and WIN5. Payout rates are set at 80.00% for win and place, 77.50% for bracket, quinella, and wide, 75.00% for exacta and trifecta, and 72.50% for trifecta (as of May 2023). Note that the payout rate may vary depending on the sponsor and betting method of the publicly managed competition, so the information providing device 100 according to embodiment 1 calculates the support rate S by changing the value substituted into the above formula 4 depending on the payout rate R. The payout rate R is stored in the memory unit 12 of the information providing device 100, and is called up as necessary and used to calculate each index value.

Referring to the race entry list shown in Figure 3, numbers are listed in the column for win odds K1. The numbers listed in win odds K1 represent the expected multiple of the payout amount relative to the face value of the pari-mutuel betting ticket if each horse with group numbers "1" to "8" wins. Win odds K1 are distributed from the host system 1 and are processed and displayed by the data processing unit 10.

Note that while the example above was a win bet in JRA, in the case of a multiple bet such as WIN5, the amount "A/P" obtained by dividing the additional amount A by the number of winning horses P is added to the above (Equation 1). In this case, the support rate calculated above must be adjusted to take "A/P" into account. Also, since the organizers of each publicly managed gaming event can set the payout rate R within a specified range, the payout rate R in the above (Equations 1) to (Equation 4) is adjusted appropriately depending on the type of betting ticket and the organizer's settings to calculate the support rate S.

FIG. 4 illustrates the processing using win-win odds information K _tk as an example. FIG. 4(a) is a table of odds information K _tk obtained by the information providing device 100 from the host system 1 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4(b) is a table of the support rate S for each pair calculated based on the odds information K _tk . FIG. 4(c) shows the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) , which is the fluctuation in support rate S, based on the time one hour before the voting deadline. In FIG. 4(c), the reference time t0 is 60 minutes before the voting deadline tf (11:15), and the difference between the support rate S _tk at each time tk and the support rate S _t0 at time t0 is displayed in each column of the table. In FIG. 4, the time is displayed in six-minute increments, but the time increments can be changed as appropriate depending on the frequency with which the information providing device 100 obtains data from the host system 1.

The odds information K _tk indicates a predicted value of how many times the payout will be received in relation to the amount of the betting ticket purchased. In other words, the predicted odds at the final deadline for group number "1" in Figure 4 are shown as "4.7," and in this case, a betting ticket purchased for 100 yen will receive a payout of 470 yen. However, the odds shown in Figure 4(a) are predicted odds at a certain time tk announced by the organizer, and do not necessarily match the payout rate received after the race results are determined. The odds information K _tk fluctuates depending on factors such as the sales of betting tickets and the withdrawal of horses from the race before the race.

Figure 4(a) shows the fluctuations in win odds for horses with group numbers "1" to "8" in Figure 2. In horse racing, the number assigned to each horse is sometimes called the horse number, and for win and place betting tickets, these horse numbers become the group number on the betting ticket. For consecutive betting tickets, the combination of horse numbers becomes the group number. In the race list shown in Figure 2, the horse numbers and gate numbers match, but if there are nine or more horses entered, multiple horses will be placed in one gate. The combination of gate numbers becomes the group number and it is also possible to purchase a betting ticket (gate number consecutive betting).

FIG. 4(a) shows the odds for a win bet, as described above. The horizontal rows at the top of the table indicate the times up until the voting deadline, and the columns below indicate the odds for each pair number at that time. The odds for each pair number fluctuate, and the information providing device 100 receives odds information K _tk from the host system 1 via the receiving unit 11. The data processing unit 10 associates the time information tk with the odds for each pair number and stores them in the memory unit 12. The time information tk may be generated by the timing unit 15, or may be acquired by the receiving unit 11 together with the odds information K _tk . In FIG. 4, 60 minutes before the voting deadline is designated as time t0, and times t1, t2, ... are indicated by symbols toward the deadline tf. Therefore, the odds data for the pair numbers "1" to "8" 60 minutes ago shown in FIG. 4(a) is called odds information _Kt0 , and the odds information for each time thereafter is called _Kt1 , _Kt2 , ..., _Ktf .

4(b) shows data obtained by converting odds information _Ktk into support rates _Stk , and shows the support rates _St0 , _St1 , _St2 , ..., _Stf for each group number at each time. These support rates are the support rates S calculated by the above (Equation 4).

Figure 4(c) shows how the support rate has changed at each time, with the support rate _S0 60 minutes before the deadline as the base. That is, each column displays the value obtained by subtracting the support rate _St0 60 minutes before from the support rate _Stk for each group number at a certain time. In each column of Figure 4(c), a negative value means that the support rate _Stk has decreased compared to 60 minutes before, and a positive value means that the support rate _Stk has increased compared to 60 minutes before.

4 shows an example of data processed by the data processing unit 10 of the information providing device 100, and this data is stored in the storage unit 12 and can be called up as needed. Also, although a win bet is shown as an example, the information providing device 100 can similarly calculate, store, and display the support rate S _tk of each pair of numbers from the odds for consecutive win bets and place bets.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the flow of data when the information providing device 100 according to the first embodiment processes the odds information K _tk and the like. The odds information K _tk shown in FIG. 5 is received by the receiving unit 11 from the upper system 1. The odds information K _tk is sent to the data processing unit 10 and associated with the time information tk of the timing unit 15 or the time information tk attached to the odds information K _tk . Both the time information tk and the odds information K _tk are stored in the memory unit 12. Furthermore, the odds information K _tk is converted into a support rate S _tk in the data processing unit 10. This support rate S _tk is also stored in the memory unit 12. The odds information K _tk , time tk, and support rate S _tk are stored in the memory unit 12 and can be called up as needed.

The data processing unit 10 also calculates a differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) based on the support rate S _tk . The differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) is the difference between the support rate S _t0 at a certain first time and the support rate S _tk at an arbitrary second time. The differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) is also stored in the storage unit 12. The first time that serves as the basis for comparison may be referred to as the reference time, and the second time that is the target of comparison may be referred to as the comparison time.

The odds information K _tk , support rate S _tk , and differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) for each pair of bets calculated by the data processing unit 10 are processed by the display processing unit 18. For example, based on information P input by a user at the client terminal 50, the display processing unit 18 processes the odds information K _tk , support rate S _tk , differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0), etc. stored in the storage unit 12, and sends them to the output unit 14. The output unit 14 displays the data requested by the user, processed by the display processing unit 18, on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50.

The ranking display processing unit 19 compares the odds information K _tk , the support rate S _tk , and the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) of each group number to determine the ranking of each group number. The ranking display processing unit 19 rearranges each group number according to the ranking of the odds information K _tk , the support rate S _tk , or the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) .

6 shows an example of information displayed on the client terminal 50 in the information providing system 1000 according to the first embodiment. The differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) is calculated for each group number, and differential support rates ΔS _(tk-t0) at the same time can be compared. The ranking display processing unit 19 compares the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) of each group number at an arbitrary time, and can rearrange the group numbers from first to last according to the value of the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) . Note that what is displayed on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50 may be at least a part of the ranking of the group numbers.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a table in which information is arranged in the order of the group numbers based on the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) of each group number at the time voting closes. In the table shown in FIG. 6, the left side shows the trend in odds at the time voting closes, based on 60 minutes before the close of voting, and the right side shows the trend in support rate. In this table, the group numbers are arranged from top to bottom in descending order of the increase or decrease in support rate in a certain race, i.e., the largest differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) . Additionally, the odds information K _tk and the change in support rate S _tk for each group number are also displayed.

6, the reference time t0 is set to 60 minutes before the voting deadline, and the time tk to be compared is displayed as the voting deadline tf. The ranking of each bracket, odds information K _tk , and support rate S _tk are displayed based on the support rate difference ΔS _(tk-t0) immediately after the voting deadline. However, the reference time t0 and the time tk to be compared can be set freely. For example, the user operates the operation unit 51 of the client terminal 50 to set the time t0 and the time tk, which are received by the information providing device 100 as information P. Based on the information P, the display processing unit 18 appropriately retrieves information from the storage unit 12, processes the information as necessary, and sends it to the output unit 14. The output unit 14 transmits the processed information as output Q to the client terminal 50.

The information displayed on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50 can be changed as appropriate. For example, some of the numerical values of the odds information K _tk , the support rate S _tk , and the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) may not be displayed. Furthermore, the order of the pair numbers does not have to be rearranged and displayed; the order may be represented numerically, or the columns may be color-coded. For example, each column of the table displayed on the display unit 52 may be displayed in blue if the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) is a positive value (if the support rate is increasing), in green if it is 0 (or close to 0), and in red if it is a negative value (if the support rate is decreasing), thereby making it easier to visually classify the values.

FIG. 7 is an example of information displayed on the client terminal 50 in the information providing system 1000 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 7 is a graph showing the transition of the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) shown in FIG. 4(c). The content displayed on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50 is not limited to the numerical information shown in FIG. 6, and may be displayed as a graph. The time transition display processing unit 20 of the information providing device 100 performs a process of graphing the transition of each index value over time based on the database 21 showing the relationship between time and each index value shown in FIG. 4. While FIG. 7 shows the transition of the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) , the transition of the odds information K _tk or the support rate S _tk may also be displayed as a graph. Furthermore, the form of the graph is not limited to a line graph, and may be expressed in other forms.

(Function of the First Embodiment)
Typically, in publicly managed gaming events, the only information users can obtain from the organizers is odds information _Ktk expressed as payout rates. When users purchase a betting ticket, they refer to the latest odds information _Ktk available at that time tk to decide on their bets. However, odds information _Ktk only displays the payout rate relative to the purchase price of the betting ticket, and when comparing multiple betting numbers, it is difficult to instantly determine how popular a betting number is and how much the popularity differs just by looking at the odds numbers.

Also, if a certain set number is popular, even if a large number of tickets are purchased for that set number, the fluctuations in the odds will be small. Therefore, even if a certain set number is actually popular and a large number of tickets are purchased at a certain point in time, it will be difficult to grasp the fluctuations just by looking at the odds, especially for sets that are already popular.

In the information provision system 1000 according to the first embodiment, the odds information K _tk can be converted into the form of a support rate S _tk so that each pair number can be compared. This allows the user to grasp the overall voting situation in more detail and use this information as a basis for making decisions about purchasing betting tickets.

Furthermore, in the information provision system 1000 according to the first embodiment, a first time and a second time can be selected, and the change in the support rate between the first time and the second time (the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) ) can be displayed on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50, allowing the differential support rates ΔS _(tk-t0) of multiple race numbers to be compared. This allows the user to grasp the voting situation over a given period in more detail. Note that in publicly managed races, the odds information K _tk is limited to one decimal place, so the accuracy of the required support rate S _tk is limited and errors will occur in the calculation results. However, compared to using the odds information K _tk alone, this is still sufficiently useful for users to use as a basis for deciding whether to purchase betting tickets.

Generally, when purchasing a betting ticket for a publicly managed race, the decision to purchase the ticket is based on the racing results of the participating horses and runners. Information about the participating horses and runners is widely available, including information from newspapers, television, and the Internet. Purchasers of betting tickets decide which bets to purchase while looking at this information. However, in horse racing, for example, as the race deadline approaches, such as when the horses make their rounds in the paddock or when they enter the main racecourse, information is provided that indicates the condition of the participating horses on that day, and some purchase their betting tickets after checking this information. Therefore, for example, in horse racing, changes in the support rate S _tk after events such as the end of paddock and entry into the main racecourse can be said to represent the evaluation of the participating horses in that event. According to the information provision system 1000 of the first embodiment, the user can specify a first time and a second time, and the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) for that period can be displayed on the client terminal 50. For example, by specifying a time that includes the time when the paddock tour is taking place and displaying the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) , the overall purchasing status of betting tickets at that time can be grasped.

As described above, with the information provision system 1000 according to embodiment 1, users can specify any time period and get a more detailed understanding of the popularity ratings and changes in popularity ratings for each pair of numbers that are candidates for betting on betting tickets, which can then be used as information for purchasing betting tickets.

Embodiment 2.
The information providing system 1000 according to the second embodiment processes data using the vote count information _Vtk in addition to the odds information _Ktk to provide information to users. In the second embodiment, the description will be centered on the modification unit compared to the first embodiment.

8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the odds information K _tk and the vote count information V _tk in the information providing device 100 according to the second embodiment to display information on the client terminal 50. The information providing device 100 according to the second embodiment acquires not only the odds information K _tk but also the vote count information V _tk (step S1) and associates them with the time information tk (step S2). The time information tk, the odds information K _tk , and the vote count information V _tk are stored in the storage unit 12 and organized into a database.

The information providing device 100 calculates an index value for each combination number based on the odds information K _tk (step S3). The index value is, for example, a support rate S _tk or a differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) , and is obtained by processing the odds information K _tk and the vote count information V _tk in a predetermined manner. In addition, in the second embodiment, the index value may also include the individual vote count v _tk for each combination number calculated from the odds information K _tk and the support rate S _tk , and the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) calculated from the odds information K _tk , the support rate S _tk , and the individual vote count v _tk .

The information providing device 100 displays the index values processed by the data processing unit 10 on the client terminal 50 (step S4). The display processing unit 18 processes the index values so as to display the data in a format that meets the user request received by the input unit 13.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the flow of data when the information providing device 100 according to the second embodiment processes the odds information K _tk and the vote count information V _tk . FIG. 10 is an example of an index value processed by the information providing device 100 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, the information providing device 100 receives the odds information K _tk and the vote count information V _tk from the upper system 1. The data processing unit 10 calculates the support rate S _tk from the odds information K _tk . This support rate S _tk is shown in FIG. 10(a).

The information providing device 100 also acquires betting number information _Vtk as shown in Fig. 10(b). The betting number information _Vtk is the total number of bets for a certain ticket type that can be purchased as a betting ticket. For example, in the case of a race such as the one shown in Fig. 3, it represents the total number of bets for win betting tickets at a certain time tk, and the total number of betting tickets for each of the pair numbers "1" to "8" is displayed in each column of Fig. 10(b).

The data processing unit 10 includes an individual vote count calculation unit 24 that multiplies the support rate S _tk shown in FIG. 10(a) by the corresponding vote count information V _tk shown in FIG. 10(b) to calculate the individual vote count v _tk for each group number at time tk. The individual vote count v _tk is shown in each column of FIG. 10(c). For example, by multiplying "20.5%" in the 10:15 column for group number "1" shown in FIG. 10(a) by "122563" in the 10:15 column for the vote count shown in FIG. 10(b), the individual vote count of "25141" in the 10:15 column for group number "1" in FIG. 10(c) is obtained. The individual vote counts for other group numbers at each time can be calculated in a similar manner. The individual vote count v _tk for each group number is stored in the memory unit 12. At this time, the individual vote count v _tk is associated with the time information tk.

The data processing unit 10 includes a vote difference calculation unit 25 that calculates the vote difference Δv _(tk2-tk1) based on the individual vote count v _tk . The vote difference Δv _(tk2-tk1) is calculated from the difference between the vote count v _tk2 at the second time tk2 for a certain group number and the vote count v _tk1 at the first time tk1. This makes it possible to determine the number of votes cast for a certain group number from the specified first time tk1 to the second time tk2. The first time tk1 is a time before the second time tk2, and the first time tk1 and the second time tk2 can be freely selected. Specifically, the vote difference from 10:15 to 10:21 can be calculated by subtracting the vote count "25141" at 10:15 from the vote count "29886" at 10:21 for group number "1" shown in FIG. 10(c).

The data processing unit 10 also includes a vote difference total count 26 that calculates the vote difference total ΔV _(tk2-tk1) based on the vote count information V _tk . This is calculated from the difference between the vote count information V _tk2 at the second time tk2 and the vote count information V _tk1 at the first time tk1, as shown in FIG. 10(b). Specifically, the vote difference total count from 10:15 to 10:21 is calculated by subtracting the vote count "122563" at 10:15 from the vote count "145698" at 10:21 in FIG. 10(b). This determines the total number of votes cast for a certain bill type from the specified first time to the specified second time.

The data processing unit 10 includes a period support rate calculation unit 27 that calculates a period support rate δS _{(tk2 -tk1) based on the vote difference Δv (tk2-tk1)} and the vote difference total ΔV _(tk2-tk1) . Figure 10(d) shows the period support rates δS _{(t1-t0), δS (t2-t1)} , ..., δS _(t10-t9) for each group number in each of the periods t0 to t1, t1 to t2, t2 to t3, ..., _{t9 to t10} . The period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) shown here can be calculated using the following formula:
δS _(tk2-tk1) = (v _tk2 - v _tk1 )/(V _tk2 - V _tk1 ) ... (Formula 5)
Here, the first time tk1 and the second time tk2 can be freely selected. In the above (Equation 5), the part (v _tk2 -v _tk1 ) is the difference vote number Δv _(tk2-tk1) , and the part (V _tk2 -V _tk1 ) is the difference total vote number ΔV _(tk2-tk1) .

10(d) shows the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) calculated for each of the times t0 to t1, t1 to t2, t2 to t3, ..., t9 to t10 using the above (Equation 5), specifically, the support rate for each group number in each period in 6-minute increments. In the information provision system 1000, the time increment can be changed as appropriate depending on the frequency at which the information provision device 100 obtains data from the host system 1.

FIG. 11 is a graph showing the transition of the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) for each group number in FIG. 10(d). Because the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) is a support rate limited to a certain specified period, if a certain group number receives a large number of votes during a certain specified period, the value may become large. Although FIGS. 10 and 11 show examples of support rates calculated for each period in 6-minute increments, in reality, the information provision system 1000 can freely display the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) from an arbitrary first time to an arbitrary second time specified by the user on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50.

Furthermore, the information providing system 1000 can display on the display unit 52 of the client terminal 50 the ranking of each group number based on the period popularity rating δS _(tk2-tk1) .

(Function of the Second Embodiment)
According to the information provision system 1000 of the second embodiment, the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) from any first time to any second time can be freely displayed, and therefore, by specifying a period that includes an event such as the entry of the main racecourse, the user can ascertain the support rate for that period. This enables the user to perform various analyses, such as ascertaining trends in the voting behavior of people who watched an event such as the entry of the main racecourse.

(Modification)
FIG. 12 is a modified example of the information provision system 1000 according to embodiments 1 and 2. The information provision system 1000 may not only provide the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) and the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) as information, but may also include a betting target determination unit 30 that uses these numerical values to determine the ranking of each group number and presents betting targets when the user purchases betting tickets. The betting target determination unit 30 displays one or more top betting targets based on the ranking of each group number on the client terminal 50, based on instructions from the user input to the input unit 13. Alternatively, if the client terminal 50 is equipped with a betting ticket purchase function, the betting target determination unit 30 may be configured to send the betting target output directly to the betting ticket purchase function, allowing automatic or semi-automatic betting ticket purchases. When the betting target determination unit 30 determines betting targets, the user sets in advance the betting ticket type, purchase amount, and how many betting tickets to purchase according to which index value ranking. Furthermore, the user can set a threshold value for the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) in the information providing device 100, and can set it to pick up and present combination numbers that exceed this threshold. By providing such a bet determination unit 30, the information providing system 1000 can determine bets using index values other than the payout rate, such as the differential support rate ΔS _(tk-t0) and the period support rate δS _(tk2-tk1) , without wasting time, even just before the voting deadline, thereby preventing missed opportunities to purchase betting tickets.

The present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the above-mentioned embodiments. In each of the above embodiments, the information provision system 1000 is implemented in a client-server system of a network computer system. However, the same functions as the information provision system 1000 can also be implemented in various computers, such as personal computers, that do not constitute a client-server system, or various communication terminals and mobile information terminals, such as mobile terminals and tablets. In this case, at least a portion of the system configuration of the information provision device 100 or the information provision system 1000 can be implemented as a computer program, and the program can be implemented by installing it in various computers, communication terminals, and mobile information terminals. It should be noted that the gist (technical scope) of the present invention also includes various modifications, applications, and uses that may be made as needed by those skilled in the art.
