Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a betting ticket vending machine for horse racing, etc.

[Conventional technology]

For horse racing, bicycle racing, etc., voting tickets can be issued in units of one vote (for example, 200 yen), or even multiple units can be sold as one voting ticket. Even on a machine, 1
When a voting application from a user is accepted, an operator operates a voting ticket vending machine to sell voting tickets so that multiple units can be sold in one voting ticket in one operation. For reasons such as risk prevention, these voting tickets are issued with a maximum amount (10,000 to 100,000 yen/ticket), and care is taken to ensure that the amount per ticket does not become too expensive. There is.

For this reason, with conventional voting ticket vending machines where the maximum amount is set at 100,000 yen/ticket, for example, an operator who accepts a voting application of 300,000 yen from a user will check that amount against the issuance limit. Combine,
Accordingly, divide the voting input into units of 100,000 yen, operate the keyboard at least three times, and enter 100,000 yen voting ticket 3.
A copy is on sale.

[Problem that the invention is trying to solve]

However, if the voting amount is extremely high compared to the issuance limit, it will be necessary to calculate the required number of tickets and to create voting tickets for each limit amount, which will require multiple keyboard operations, making it difficult for applicants to When there are a large number of people involved, the burden on the operator becomes extremely heavy.

The present invention solves these problems with conventional voting ticket vending machines, and allows the operator to input tickets without being aware of whether the application amount is within the issuance limit or not, and still receive tickets within the issuance limit. The purpose is to enable automatic sales.

[Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, this purpose is achieved by: input means 1 for inputting voting data including desired combinations and voting amounts; ticket issuing means 3 for issuing voting tickets; A file section 8 for storing voting data, a setting section 9 for setting the issuance limit per ticket, a determining means 5 for comparing and determining the voting amount data in the voting data and the issuance limit, and voting amount data and the issuance limit. and a control section 4 that controls these functions, and a discriminating means determines the size of the voting amount data from the file section and the issuance limit from the setting section, and determines the voting amount. When the data exceeds the issuance limit, the ticketing means issues tickets according to the issuance limit, and the calculation means calculates the difference between the voting amount data and the issuance limit, and then uses this difference as voting amount data to set the issuance limit. The above procedure is repeated to determine whether the voting amount is smaller than the amount, and if the voting amount data is determined to be smaller than the issuance limit, the ticket issuing means issues a ticket with a face value corresponding to the voting amount data. This will be achieved by a voting ticket vending machine.

[Effect]

In other words, if the operator inputs the voting data including the combination requested by the applicant and the voting amount using the input means, the operator does not have to consider whether the voting amount exceeds the issuance limit per ticket. However, if the amount of votes is within the issuance limit, a single voting ticket with an amount equivalent to the amount of the vote will be issued, and if the amount of votes exceeds the issuance limit, a ticket equivalent to the issuance limit is required. The number of tickets and one ticket with a fractional amount that does not reach the issuance limit will be automatically issued.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the block diagram of FIG. 1, 1 is a keyboard as an input means, 2 is a key, 3 is a printer as a ticket issuing means, 4 is a control unit, and 5 is a discriminating means for determining the application amount and the issuing limit. 6 has a function of determining whether it is large or small, and calculating the difference between the voting amount and the issuance limit using a calculation means. A memory 7 includes a file section 8 and a setting section 9.

In the file section 8 of the memory 7 in the figure, voting data including desired combinations and voting amounts related to voting ticket applications is stored, and A in the diagram indicates the voting amounts. Further, in the setting section 9, an amount B (for example, 100,000 yen) corresponding to the issuance limit is set.

Since it has such a configuration and function, the operation will be explained with reference to FIG.
Operate to enter voting data (group number, number of tickets, amount, etc.)
Enter. The control unit 4 compares the voting amount A (for example, 250,000 yen) in this input data with the issuance limit amount B (for example, 100,000 yen) set in the setting section of the memory 7, and in this case, A>B. Because there is, print data C (including voting data) with a limit of 100,000 yen
The voting ticket is sent to the printer 3 as a ticket issuing means, and one voting ticket (worth 100,000 yen) is issued. The calculation means 6 performs calculation to subtract the issuance limit B from the voting amount A,
The determining means 5 uses the remaining amount (A-B = 150,000 yen) as the voting amount and compares that amount with the issuance limit amount B again. In this case as well, since the balance (150,000 yen) is greater than B (100,000 yen), the control unit 4 sends the print data C to the printer 3, which is the ticket issuing means, and issues one voting ticket (worth 100,000 yen).

The calculating means 6 calculates the previous balance (150,000 yen) - B (100,000 yen) = 50,000 yen, and the determining means 5 compares this balance (50,000 yen) with the issuance limit B. but,
This balance as the voting amount is determined to be smaller than the issuance limit B, and in this case, 50,000 yen worth of print data C is sent to the printer 3, which is the ticket issuing means, and the voting ticket (50,000 yen worth) is Tickets will be issued.

Therefore, two voting tickets with a maximum value of 100,000 yen and one voting ticket with a value of 50,000 yen were issued consecutively.

In the embodiment, the determination means and calculation means are provided in the control section of the vending machine, but both the determination and calculation means may be provided in the control section of the multi-controller or the processing device on the center side.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, even if the user inputs the voting application amount as is, even if the amount exceeds the ticket issuance limit, multiple required voting tickets within the ticket issuance limit will be issued. Tickets can be issued automatically.

Therefore, the operator can simply input the application amount without being aware of the ticket issue limit, which has the advantage of reducing the burden on the operator and preventing errors due to operational errors.

Moreover, by using such a voting ticket vending machine according to the present invention, without requiring any operation by an operator,
Voting tickets can be issued by the voter's own operations.
