(Description Based on FIG. 1) FIG. 1 is an example of a soccer lottery voting sheet according to the present invention. The ballot sheet contains the date and time of the soccer match (section), both opponents, the stadium, and other necessary items, and has a bar code corresponding to the result of each game. For example, when team C and team D play against each other and it is necessary to vote for the lottery in anticipation of the result among three of "team C win", "team D win", and "draw", One barcode is attached adjacent to each result. Therefore, three barcodes are attached to each game. For example, when predicting the results of 13 games, a voting paper with 39 barcodes is used.

If the result of the match between team C and team D is to be voted as "team D wins", "vote D team" adjacent to the notation "team D win" is supported. The barcode to be read with a barcode reader. In addition, in the case of a lot to be expected even to a point difference, a bar code required for the combination is added.

If necessary, it is possible to add a column on the ballot sheet so that the voter can enter the number of voting units. For example, a soccer lottery counter uses this ballot paper to efficiently read a barcode corresponding to the voting content specified by the voter in each game using a barcode reader as shown in FIG. , Soccer lottery voting tickets can be issued. In addition, bar code readers are widely used,
Since it is also used as a cash register at a convenience store, a cash register at a convenience store may be used as a voting / ticket issuing device.

Also, the contents of the vote specified by the voter can be easily input to the terminal using a barcode reader using the soccer lottery ballot. It can be used for a POS device that performs voting and ticketing management. For example, at a soccer lottery counter, a convenience store, a ticket bureau, etc., when using a soccer lottery ballot with a barcode to input the voting content specified by a voter to a terminal with a barcode reader, the input content is correct. After determining whether or not the ticketing device issues a soccer lottery voting ticket, the content of the voting is transmitted to the soccer lottery management organization.

It is also possible to avoid sales to adults or to prevent tickets from being issued at certain times, thereby avoiding late-night sales. (Description Based on FIG. 2) FIG. 2 is an example of a soccer lottery ballot sheet according to the present invention. This is a soccer lottery ballot with a one-dimensional barcode-attached soccer lottery ballot and a column in which a voter can enter the selection result of the voting content. The entry column is attached adjacent to a barcode representing each match result, and the voter marks the entry column corresponding to the voting content to be selected with a writing tool or the like. As a result, it is possible to distribute the voting paper, make the voter select and fill in the voting content, and read the voting content selected by the voter using the barcode reader. Since the selection and entry fields for voting content and the barcode representing voting content are adjacent, when entering voting content by barcode, the voting content specified by the voter can be quickly read into the barcode reader. become.

For example, the soccer lottery ballot of FIG.
It can be distributed at soccer lottery counters, convenience stores, ticket bureaus, stores such as financial institutions, soccer stadiums, and the like, or can be distributed in magazines. Through this distribution, voters who have obtained the soccer lottery ballot fill in the ballot contents and the number of voting units to be selected in the entry field of the ballot with writing implements, etc., and submit it to the soccer lottery sales office. As shown in FIG. 7, the barcode adjacent to the column filled in by the voter can be efficiently read using a barcode reader, and a voting ticket can be issued. Therefore, the soccer lottery voting form of FIG. 2 can be processed more efficiently in ticketing using the cash register of the convenience store described in the explanation based on FIG. 1 and in voting and ticketing management of soccer lottery by the POS device. It is possible.

Further, the soccer lottery voting form of FIG. 2 can be applied to voting and ticketing in a service competition such as a horse race, a bicycle race, and a boat race. (Description Based on FIG. 3) FIG. 3 is an example of a soccer lottery voting sheet according to the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a soccer lottery voting sheet of FIG. 3 in which the entry field of the voting content to be selected is changed to a mark sheet type mark hole so that it can be read by a mark sheet reader. The voter fills a mark hole adjacent to the voting content to be specified, and specifies the voting content. In addition, a mark hole indicating the number of voting ports can be provided on the voting paper.
In the example of FIG. 3, a mark hole corresponding to the number of 1 to 9 units, a mark hole corresponding to a 10 unit unit from 10 to 90, and a mark corresponding to the 100 unit unit of 100 to 500. It has holes and can be purchased up to 599 units. The voter fills one or a plurality of mark holes corresponding to the number of votes to be purchased. In the example of FIG. 3, it indicates that 24 lotteries are to be voted.

By providing the mark holes of the mark sheet system on the soccer lottery ballot paper, in addition to the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 2, it is also possible to read a lot of soccer lottery ballot papers with a mark sheet reader. Becomes (Description Based on FIG. 4) FIG. 4 is an example of a soccer lottery ballot sheet according to the present invention. The ballot sheet describes a soccer match, both opponents, and other necessary items, and the expected result of each match is arranged in a matrix. If necessary, it is also possible to add a column on the ballot paper in which the voter can enter the number of voting units.

By arranging the entry fields of the voting contents to be selected in a matrix, it is possible to express, as one two-dimensional bar code, the expected outcome of a plurality of games required for one voting. For example, when team A and team B play against each other and it is necessary to vote for the lottery in anticipation of the result among three of “team A win”, “team B win”, and “draw”, There is a corresponding column for each result. Therefore, three entry fields are provided for each game. For example, when estimating 13 game results, a ballot paper with at least 39 entry fields is provided. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, if the entry columns are applied to a matrix having seven sides, 39 entry columns can be expressed. In addition, a code for identifying which section of the game is the lottery may be set in advance as a component of the two-dimensional barcode.

As shown in FIG. 5, the voter paints the contents of the vote to be selected. For example, when it is desired to perform a voting to determine the result of a match between the teams A and B as a “draw”, the entry field described as “A draw against B” is painted out. In the case of a lottery expected to have a point difference, a necessary entry column is added to the combination.
When there are many combinations, it is possible to facilitate the handling by expressing them with a plurality of matrices.

Further, if necessary, a field in which a voter can enter the number of voting units can be added to the voting paper. FIG.
The ballot content of the soccer lottery ballot of FIG. 3 is composed of a plurality of barcodes, whereas the ballot paper of a two-dimensional barcode uses a smaller number of barcodes to express the ballot content. Is possible. For example, the soccer lottery ballot shown in FIG. 4 is excellent in that the contents of the ballot can be expressed by one barcode, and the reading operation can be performed only once as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the embodiment described in the explanation based on FIG. 2, the barcode can be read more efficiently.

In addition, the bar code is read by a digital camera connected to or incorporated in the personal computer, and the contents of the vote can be easily processed on the personal computer, and a general-purpose terminal such as a personal computer instead of a dedicated terminal is used as an input terminal. Is also possible. Further, as another embodiment, a voter who obtains a soccer lottery ballot fills in a voting ticket mark field with the voting content to be selected, and then connects to a personal computer or uses a digital camera attached to the voting content. To a computer as a two-dimensional barcode,
It is also conceivable to issue a ticket by transmitting the voting content from the personal computer to another ticket issuing device by communication or the like. For example,
It is easy to transmit the contents of the vote from a personal computer at home or the like and issue the ticket at a store such as a soccer lottery counter, a convenience store, a ticket bureau, or a financial institution. (Description Based on FIG. 6) FIG. 6 is an example of a soccer lottery voting sheet according to the present invention. The voting paper of FIG. 6 is characterized in that the number of voting ports is incorporated as a component of the two-dimensional barcode in the two-dimensional barcode type voting paper of FIG.

In the embodiment described in the explanation based on FIG. 4, when the number of voting units is also input to the terminal, it is necessary to input the number of voting units separately. However, by incorporating the number of voting units into the two-dimensional barcode, it is not necessary to input the number of voting units separately, and input to the terminal becomes easier. (Description Based on FIG. 9) FIG. 9 is an example of a soccer lottery betting ticket according to the present invention. The voting ticket is printed with the contents of the voting, and has a one-dimensional barcode corresponding to the voting contents. One or more barcodes are attached according to the amount of information. The voting content to be printed is the date and time (section) of the soccer match, both opponents, the stadium, the voting content such as winning and losing, the number of votes, and other necessary items. Some or all of these items may be omitted, or information such as advertisements may be added. This makes it possible to read the contents of the voting ticket with a barcode reader, which can be used, for example, at the time of collation at the time of winning ticket exchange. it can. In addition, since the barcode reader is widely used and is also used for a cash register of a convenience store or the like, for example, a cash register of a convenience store may be used as a collation device.

For example, after a game is over, in a soccer lottery collation device installed at a soccer lottery sales window, a convenience store, a ticket bureau, or a store such as a financial institution, a soccer lottery ticket is connected to a barcode reader connected to the device. The barcode attached to the betting ticket is read, and when the voting content is input to the device, the voting content is referred to the computer that stores the winnings information of the soccer lottery from the device via communication, and the result of the voting is related to the winning result and the winning amount. Information can be obtained. (Description based on FIG. 10) FIG. 10 is an example of a soccer lottery betting ticket according to the present invention. In FIG. 9, a two-dimensional barcode is added instead of the one-dimensional barcode. By using a two-dimensional barcode, a large amount of information can be encoded. Since the two-dimensional barcode can be read by the two-dimensional barcode reader, it is possible to easily and accurately input the contents of the voting ticket to the personal computer by reading it with a digital camera connected to or built in the personal computer, for example. . Therefore, in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 11, the terminal installed in each store may be a general-purpose terminal such as a personal computer instead of a dedicated terminal. In addition,
The two-dimensional barcode may be, for example, a cyber code of Sony Corporation.

Further, as another embodiment, a voter holding a soccer lottery ticket reads a voting content into a personal computer as a two-dimensional barcode using a digital camera connected to or attached to the personal computer. It is also conceivable that the contents of the vote are transmitted to another inquiry device from a personal computer through communication or the like, and the collation result is obtained from the collation device.
