Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a voting ticket sales and refund system for selling and refunding voting tickets for horse races, etc.

Currently, the cash handling process accounts for about 50 yen of the paperwork involved in selling voting tickets for horse racing, bicycle racing, etc.

If this voting ticket sales operation is separated into two parts, the deposit/withdrawal operation and the sales operation, it becomes possible to improve the efficiency of the sales process.

For example, by having a prospective purchaser (fan) visiting a sales place deposit (deposit) a certain amount of money in advance, an account is opened for the fan and a pocketable terminal is issued to the fan.

After entering the required data into this terminal, the fan presents the terminal to a voting ticket sales office and applies for purchase.

Also, after the competition is over, if you hand in this device to the refund counter,
A refund and balance payment will be made.

In this way, it is possible to eliminate queues of people waiting to purchase tickets at voting ticket sales offices.

The present invention focuses on the above-mentioned points, and aims to provide a voting ticket sales and refund system that improves voting ticket sales processing efficiency.

The present invention provides a voting ticket sales and refund system comprising a processing device, a vending machine, and a memory. a first device for receiving voting data, comprising means for sending input data to the processing device and means for writing required data from the processing device to the terminal; a deposit calculation means; a withdrawal calculation means; and the terminal. A voting ticket purchaser deposits the required amount into the second device, which comprises a means for writing required data into the terminal and a means for reading the data in the terminal, and performs a deposit/refund operation. By this,
Setting the purchaser's deposit account data in the memory, delivering the terminal to the purchaser, and transmitting the data input by the purchaser into the terminal from the first device to the processing device. A voting ticket sales and refund system characterized in that the voting ticket sales and refund system is characterized in that the application voting data is registered and the data of the terminal device is read from the second device, thereby paying dividends, balances, etc. to the purchaser. It is.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram explaining one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
The figure is a front view of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a processor, 2 is a processing section, 3.26 is a memory, and 4. is a deposit/refund device, 5 is a withdrawal section, 6 is a deposit section, 7, 14.2

, H is write data, E is dispensing data, F and G are read data, ■ is print data, J is a permission signal, and K is input data.

In FIG. 1, a fan who wishes to purchase a voting ticket first visits the deposit/refund device 4 and deposits the required amount, and then inputs the deposited amount from the key personnel section 9.

The deposit unit 6 counts the deposited amount and sends deposit data C to the control unit 7.

When the deposit data C and the input (amount) from the key human power section 9 match, the control section 7 sends the deposit data C to the processor 1 of the center.

The processing unit 2 stores data on the account number, password, terminal number, and deposit (deposit) amount in the account file related to the fan who made the deposit.

Then, the data D such as the account number, PIN, deposit amount, terminal number, etc. is sent to the deposit/refund device 4, and written into the terminal 12 by the writing section 10 (the terminal 12 is pre-installed in the deposit/refund device 4). ).

After this, the terminal device 12 is issued to the ejected fan, but
The fan operates this terminal 12 to input voting data.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the terminal 12, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing its internal configuration.

If voting data (set number, race number, number of tickets) is input by operating the voting keys 20 and number keys 21 in FIG. 2, this input data will be displayed on the display section 19, and
The data is written to the memory 26 shown in FIG.

After inputting the desired voting data in this way, the fan goes to the application machine 13 and inserts the terminal 12 into the reading port of the reading section 15.

The reading unit 15 reads data (account number, terminal number, deposit amount, and voting data) in the memory 26 of the terminal 12 and sends this read data G to the reprocessor 1 by the control unit 14.

The processing unit 2 discriminates this read data G, accesses the account file A, and registers voting data (group number, race number, purchase amount, or number of tickets).

After that, when an acceptance signal J indicating the completion of registration is sent to the application machine 13, the writing section 16 writes the write data H of the purchase amount and balance amount into the terminal 12, and then outputs the data. Return it to the fan.

On the other hand, the print unit 17 prints the print data (voting data, amount) on a sheet and outputs it.

Each time a race ends, the processing section 2 records the winning data in each account file AN in the memory 3.

When the race paper ends, the fan whose voting data is correct inserts the terminal device 12 into the reading section 11 of the deposit/refund device 4.

The read data F (voting data) is sent to the processor 1 by the control unit 7, and the processing unit 2 discriminates the read data F and accesses the account file A to check whether there is a hit or not.

If there is hit data, the deposit/refund device 4 is notified of the refund data E.

The control unit 7 sends the refund data E to the payout unit 5, outputs the required amount of banknotes, and performs the refund.

Note that the terminal device 12 is about the size of a pocket calculator.

Although not shown in the embodiment, theft is prevented by requiring the fan to manually (or dictate) the password when submitting the terminal to a counter.

As described above, the present invention has the advantage that by separating the depositing operation from the voting reception operation, the sale processing efficiency is significantly improved, and also that input operation errors can be prevented by applying for voting using a terminal device.
