DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention functions as a server on the Internet, and receives a large number of applicants.
The present invention relates to a lottery apparatus for selecting a single winner or a plurality of winners, and is mainly used when an advertisement medium publishing company provides a present product at an event or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, various companies have been presenting their products and the like as advertisements on their home pages. When such a present is desired, it is general that an applicant applies through the Internet, decides a winner by some means, and presents a product or the like to the winner.

[0003]

However, in such a case, the applicant is usually required to know how the lottery is determined and the winner is determined, despite the fact that the applicant wants to know. Is usually not informed.

[0004] Further, there is also a demand that advertisements of companies and the like, which are product providers, should not be simply posted on homepages, but that the effects of advertisement and promotion should be effectively exerted.

[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide a lottery apparatus that makes a lottery transparent and that can use the lottery for advertisement.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a lottery apparatus which functions as a server on the Internet and selects one or a plurality of winners from a large number of applicants. As a member, using a member database that assigns a member identification number to each member, stores personal information about each registered member in association with the member identification number, and a plurality of panels on which advertisements are described on at least one of the front and back sides, A game providing means for providing the registered member with a game to be played by turning over the panel, a point calculating means for converting a game result of the game providing means into points, and a point which is a game result obtained by the point calculating means. , The point database accumulated for each registered member, and the registered members stored in this point database. Point information providing means for sending the point data to the registered member in a form in which the magnitude relationship with the points of other registered members can be understood.

[0007] Here, the "game in which a plurality of panels on which advertisements are described on at least one of the front and back sides and a plurality of panels are played with the panels turned over" means that the panels used in the game are used as an advertising medium. And you collect advertising fees from the advertiser (e.g.,
Both are set depending on the advertisement period) and the case where no such advertising fee is collected. In order to ensure fairness, the “game providing means” restricts the time during which each registered member can execute one game, or the number of games that can be executed within a certain time. Is limited, and each registered member is allowed to play a game under equal and unfair conditions. Further, the "personal information about the registered member" means, for example, the name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, etc. of the registered member, and "converting the game result into points" means that the registered member is registered based on the game result. Means to differentiate members, and "in the form of knowing the magnitude relationship with other registered members'points" means that a specific registered member has more or less points with respect to other registered members This means that, for example, the registered members (applicants) may be listed and displayed together with the points in descending order of the points.

[0008] According to this configuration, the game provided by the game providing means uses a plurality of panels on which advertisements are described on at least one of the front and back sides, and plays the game with the panels turned over. It is possible to advertise to desired applicants (registered members) while enjoying the game. In other words, the registered member participating in the game plays the game with the panel turned over, so that the player plays the game while watching the advertisement described on at least one of the front and back sides of the panel. In addition, an advertising effect can also be obtained. In this case, for example, when a present product is provided, an advertisement of a company providing the product may be described. You can participate in this game for free,
Of course, depending on the gift product, it may be paid.

In addition, when participating in the game, the applicant is a registered member, is given a member identification number, and is stored as member information together with personal information such as an address, a name and an e-mail address in a member database. It is used to confirm that you are a registered member and to notify you of the delivery of gift products when applying for the application. Also, this personal information
It is also used for providing information by direct mail (mailing) and e-mail.

[0010] The game result is converted into points by the point calculation means and arranged for each registered member.
Points are accumulated in the point database, and points are added when the game is repeated.

[0011] Therefore, points competition is conducted between applicants (registered members) participating in the game, and the more opportunities to participate in the game, the more opportunities to contact an advertisement using a panel used in the game, The contents of the advertisement are recorded in the memory of the applicant (registered member), and the effect of the advertisement is further enhanced.

Further, the point data of the registered members stored in the point database is enumerated by the point information providing means, for example, in order of the registered members having the highest total points, in such a manner that the magnitude relation with the points of the other registered members can be understood. The point information, which indicates the position of the registered member who is the principal, is sent to the registered member by the point information providing means, and the registered member only looks at the point information when playing the game or after the game is over. Thus, it is clear at a glance whether there is a possibility of being won or that there is a higher possibility of being lost, and the selection of the winner, that is, the lottery, is made transparent.

[0013] In addition, when a plurality of winners are selected, a ranking method for ranking the registered members may be provided according to the points of the registered members. Here, "rank" means
It means that the registered members are ordered according to the points, and when there are multiple gift products or paid products,
This means that the gift product or the pay product is sorted to the registered members according to the points of each registered member. Here, “plurality” includes not only plural types but also plural types of the same type.

[0014] According to this configuration, when there are a plurality of products to be provided, each registered member can be classified by the ranking means.
The items are ranked according to the points, and the distribution of present products or paid products is fairly realized based on the ranking. For example, in the case where a gift product is divided into a plurality of ranks such as a first prize, a second prize,..., A registered member with a higher point can be given a higher rank present product, or a paid product can be paid. In the case of multiple items of the same type, depending on the points of each registered member, the fee discount rate of the paid product is changed, or when there are multiple types of paid products, depending on the points of each registered member, Or the type of paid product.

[0015] Further, a skipping means for changing the access destination of the registered member to another site when points are not given based on the game result provided by the game providing means may be provided.

In this way, if no points are awarded according to the game result and there is no possibility of winning at this stage, the skipping means causes the play site where the game is currently being played to be replaced by another site ( For example, it is skipped to an advertisement medium, a present corner, a questionnaire corner, a product reservation screen), and the site provides various information including advertisement.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of a lottery apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 1, a lottery apparatus 1 according to the present invention functions as a server on the Internet. Alternatively, a plurality of winners are selected.

The lottery apparatus 1 includes a member database 1A for assigning a member identification number to each of the plurality of applicants as registered members, and storing personal information on each registered member and a member identification number in association with each other. A game providing means 1B for providing the registered member with a game (see FIG. 3) in which a plurality of panels 3,.. The point calculation means 1C for converting the game result of the providing means 1B into points, the point database 1D for accumulating the points as the game results obtained by the point calculation means 1C for each registered member, and the point database 1D Register the registered member's point data in a form that indicates the magnitude relationship with other registered members' points. Point and sends it to the member information providing unit 1
E.

Further, the lottery device 1 needs to select a plurality of winners when a large number of registered members (applicants) permitted to log in desire, for example, a plurality of present products and pay products. Since there is a ranking member 1F that ranks the registered members according to the points of the registered members, goods are sorted based on the ranking.

Further, the lottery apparatus 1 includes a skipping means 1G for changing the access destination of the registered member to another site when no points are given based on the game result provided by the game providing means 1B. .

Access to the lottery apparatus 1 is performed through a telephone communication line via the Internet using personal computers 2A to 2N owned by each applicant.

Next, a specific procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

When starting, first, a member check for member registration or login is executed (see Sl).
That is, when participating for the first time,
Membership registration is performed by sequentially inputting personal information such as an address, a name, and an e-mail address while accessing the lottery apparatus 1 according to the present invention and answering a questionnaire. When the member registration is made, the member information is stored in the lottery device 1
Is registered in the member database 1A, and the registration result is
The information is displayed on the displays of the applicant's personal computers 2A to 2N, and the registered contents are confirmed by the applicant, and the member registration work is completed.

After completion of the registration work, a member ID (member identification number) is assigned to each registered member. By the way, for example, when a lottery is performed only among specific members by limiting the number of members, a password may be given to each registered member in addition to the member ID. In addition, a fee for participating in the game may be collected, in which case it is possible to request input of payment identification information for specifying a credit card account.

On the other hand, when a registered member participates, as is well known, a member check (authentication) for login is performed, that is, a check as to whether or not the user is a registered member.
Specifically, when the registered member participates in the game, the registered member receives a member ID (and, in some cases, a password) from the registered member. The password is compared with the password, and it is confirmed whether or not the accessing person is a registered member, and when the registered member is confirmed, the registered member is notified that the login is permitted.

Therefore, if the member IDs or passwords do not match, login is not permitted and new registration is prompted.

When the member registration is completed or the log-in is permitted, the registered member can use the game providing means 1B.
(See S2). Therefore, all the registered members who have completed the member registration are required to participate in the game because it is necessary to know contact information for presents and the like.

Here, the game played by the member includes repetition of the same kind of game or repetition of a different kind of game by one access, and such a game is changed periodically. It is also possible to change the type (difficulty) of the game according to the present product to be provided.

This game is a game using a plurality of panels on which advertisements are described on at least one of the front and back sides. For example, as shown in FIG.
Are arranged, and the same “advertisement A” is displayed on the front surface 3a of each panel (see FIG. 3A), and the back surface 3b
Shows a plurality of advertisements 1 to 12 forming a pair of two (see FIG. 3B), and the applicant single-clicks or double-clicks on the surface 3a of any panel 3. Thus, it is conceivable that the panel 3 is turned over, the back surface 3b is turned to the front side, and the number of 12 pairs (the pair of advertisements 1 to 12) can be found within a certain period of time. This is done according to the same rules as a so-called nervous breakdown card game.

Here, as the advertisement A and the advertisements 1 to 12 displayed on the panel, an advertisement of a provider of a gift product given to a high point scorer of the game can be considered.
Thereby, the advertisement medium publisher can efficiently perform advertisement and promotion to the applicants who participate in the game, instead of providing the present product.

Further, even when the number of applicants rushes, such as when presenting a high-priced product, it is possible to easily determine a winner who will present the product.

In this game, in order to ensure fairness among the members, for example, the time during which the applicant can play the game is limited to a certain time, or the number of times the applicant can turn over the panel 3 is set to a predetermined number of times. Or need to be restricted.

The game is terminated when the predetermined time has elapsed or when a predetermined number of flips have been completed, the game result is converted into points by the point calculation means 1C, and the result of the current game is determined. (See S3). If there are no points, there is no need to register (update) points and there is no possibility of winning a present. Therefore, the skipping means 1G allows the registered member (applicant) to access the destination according to the game result. The player is skipped from the current play site to another site (see S4). As another site, for example, a site having an advertisement, a site having a present corner, a site having a questionnaire corner, a site where a product can be reserved, and the like can be considered.

On the other hand, if there is a point, with the consent of the member, the point is registered (updated) in the point database 1D (see S5). When the point registration is completed, the points are totaled for each registered member, and the ranking is performed according to the points by the ranking means 1F. In this ranking, a daily total, a weekly total, or a monthly total is appropriately selected according to the number of registered members (applicants) and the like.

Further, the point data providing means 1E converts the point data of the registered member stored in the point database 1D into a form in which the magnitude relation with the points of the other registered members can be understood (for example, the point including the registered member is included). In the form of listing registered members in descending order) (see S6), and the process ends. This display content is updated each time the above-described ranking is performed. The display of the point information may be performed before the game is started, or may be constantly displayed in parallel with the game screen.

As described above, since the registered member's point data is displayed in a form in which the magnitude relationship with the other registered member's points can be understood, it is possible to understand at a glance whether or not the present product can be obtained from the display. Become.

As described above, by performing the lottery using the points based on the game result, the lottery can be made transparent, and the advertisement can be efficiently implemented using the game. It should be noted that the present will be sent out after notification by e-mail, for example.

Thus, for example, an advertisement publisher can use the present product as a tool for delivering a present product at an event or the like. When there are a plurality of present products to be provided, the present product is determined according to points (ranking). Can be sorted.

Further, the present invention can be used not only for selecting the winners of the present products, but also for selecting the buyers of the pay products whose quantity is limited. It can also be used for sorting and the like. In the case of a paid product, the product is sent out after notification by e-mail, for example, and delivered by cash on delivery.

The “game using a panel provided with an advertisement on at least one of the front and back sides” provided by the game providing means 1B and performed by the registered member includes the above-mentioned “game in which the panel is turned over and the Ads 1 to
Competition for how many twelve pairs can be found ", as well as the following. (1) Within a certain time limit, the quiz displayed on the display is sequentially answered, and the panel is turned over each time a correct answer is given, and points are awarded for the number of flipped panels. (2) A plurality of panels are arranged vertically and horizontally, one picture is written on the back of all panels, and the quizzes are answered sequentially within a fixed time limit, and the number of panels corresponding to the number of correct answers is Can be turned over arbitrarily, looking only at the pattern of the flipped panel (so-called toothless state), answering what kind of pattern is on the entire back side of the panel, and answering correctly Points are awarded. (3) By turning over two panels within a certain time limit, a panel to be paired (for example, a pattern of the same advertisement) is found, and points are given according to the number of the found pairs. Instead of staying within a certain time limit,
The number of times that sheets can be turned over may be limited to a certain number. (4) By turning over the panels one by one within a certain time limit, the panels with the same design (advertisement) on the back are sequentially found, and points are awarded in accordance with the found number. (5) A game in which a plurality of types of games are prepared in which there is only one panel among a large number of panels, and in each of the games, the panel is flipped over one by one within a predetermined time limit, and the game is hit Points are awarded according to the number. (6) In the case of a game in which a panel is turned over and a panel to be paired is found, not only points are given based on the game result, but also a player skips to a site corresponding to the created pair and, for example, looks at an advertisement at the destination. It is also possible to receive gifts, participate in questionnaires, and participate in product reservations.

[0043]

The present invention is embodied as described above, and has the following effects.
