The operation unit 17 is a key or a touch panel arranged so as to be superimposed on the display unit 15, and receives an operation from a voter and transmits the operation content to the control unit 12.

Here, the specific contents of the individual service processing performed by the control unit 12 will be described. The control unit 12 basically checks the validity of the description of the mark card (corresponding to the means for determining the validity of the description of the present invention and the means for providing the information), The process of providing information on the amount of money to be refunded when the predicted prediction is successful and the process of providing voting strategy information based on the description of the mark card are performed.

In the process of searching for the validity of the description of the mark card, the control unit 12 uses the mark card read by the mark card reader 13 to specify a race (stadium identification information, race number information, etc.) Examine whether the information of the type (whether win or win, etc.), the object of voting (horse and frame number, etc. in the case of betting ticket), and the wager are entered. For the display unit 15,
For example, a message such as "Amount is not marked" is displayed. The control unit 12 also stores the information in the storage unit 1 according to the information identifying the race read from the mark card.
The odds information of the specified race is extracted from the odds information stored in the storage unit 4 and compared with the contents described. When a voting object (running horse, etc.) that does not participate is found, the display unit 15 displays it. On the other hand, information such as "the horse is canceled" or "the horse number is incorrect" is provided.

In the process of providing the information of the reimbursement amount by the control section 12, the read mark card is specified from the description of the mark card from the storage section 14 on condition that the read mark card is properly described. By referring to the odds information of the race, the payout amount when the prediction is correct is calculated using the odds, and the calculation result is displayed on the display unit 15.

Further, the control unit 12 performs a process of providing voting strategy information. This processing corresponds to a means for generating the voting strategy of the present invention and a means for providing the generated voting strategy. In this process, odds information is extracted, rearranged, and displayed so that the voter can easily make the strategy. In addition, in response to the expected arrival number (horse number, frame number, etc.), when voting in each of the horse number and frame number in one or more forms, it is checked whether there is a more appropriate voting form, If there is such a voting format, that fact is displayed.

Specifically, in the process of providing the information of the voting strategy, odds are extracted and displayed in accordance with a so-called "long" with two attentions as an axis in accordance with an instruction from a voter. In other words, in ordinary voting, it is common to use one focus as the axis, and the provision of odds information
Are performed in the order of 1-1, 1-2, 1-3.... But,
Depending on the voter's strategy, a voting form based on two attentions may be used. Therefore, the control unit 12 receives the instruction of the number as the axis from the odds information stored in the storage unit 14 and, for example, as a combination in which “2” always becomes two, 1-2, 2- The odds information is displayed on the display unit 15 in the order of 2, 3-2, 4-2,.

Also, for example, there is only one horse in one frame,
If there is only the second horse in the two slots, it is assumed that “1-2” is marked in the voting format of “frame number streak”, and that the odds are higher in the horse number than the frame number (for example, 20.0 times for the frame streak, 24.0 times for the horse streak, etc.)
It can be seen that the mark is disadvantageous. Therefore,
The control unit 12 determines whether or not such a state is present based on the relationship between the frame of the odds information and the horse (or a car or a boat). It is more advantageous to do so "is displayed along with the odds information.

Further, although extremely rare, when the voting in the frame unit is larger than the voting in the horse unit, the refund is larger, and when the voting in the win format is larger than the voting in the win format, the refund is larger. Is detected from the odds information and reported to the display unit 15.

Further, for example, "long" or "box"
When purchasing multiple combinations of voting targets as in the above, betting diversification ratio is considered in consideration of the need to be able to receive the same refund even if the prediction of any combination is successful Is calculated. For example, in the case of a "long" vote of 1-2 and 1-3, the odds of 1-2 are 2.
Assuming that the odds of 0 times and 1-3 are 3.0 times, 1-
If the bet on each of 2 and 1-3 is set to a ratio of 3: 2, the same refund can be obtained in the event of a hit, so information on this ratio is provided. .
In this case, when the voter receives an input of the amount that can bet as a whole, the information of the amount of the bet for each combination when the amount is dispersed according to the calculated ratio may be displayed. Good.

In the voting support system according to the present embodiment, the odds information collected by the host is broadcast by the distribution device 3 and received by the portable terminal 4 possessed by the voter, and provided to the service for each voter. The new odds information can be displayed at all times, and it is possible to display races and display them in a predetermined order.
It is possible to provide highly convenient and detailed services.

In particular, since it becomes possible to read the mark card and check for mistakes, by viewing the information displayed on the display unit 15 in a manner as shown in FIG. You can know mark mistakes before voting, and you can smoothly vote. Further, when there is a more advantageous voting form, the voting form is guided, so that highly convenient and detailed service can be provided.

In addition, according to an instruction from the personal computer 8, odds information is provided. At this time, it is preferable that a search related to the odds, such as which race has the highest odds and which voting form in which race in which race, is made possible. In addition, it is preferable that the display order can be rearranged, for example, by extracting odds and displaying the odds in a "long" with so-called two focuses in accordance with an instruction from the user. These processes can be realized by a known method relating to a table operation.

Also, for example, there is only one horse in one frame,
If there is only the second horse in the two slots and "1-2" is expected in the "frame number streak" voting format, the odds are usually higher for the horse number than the frame number ( For example, 20.0 times in the frame streak and 24.0 times in the horse streak),
It can be seen that the mark is disadvantageous. Therefore, the server 6 determines whether or not the received prediction is in such a state from the relationship between the frame of the odds information and the horse (or the car or the boat), and when an unfavorable state is detected,
Information such as "It is advantageous to vote in consecutive horses" is provided to the personal computer 8 together with odds information. Further, as in the case of the mobile terminal 4 of the first embodiment, when a combination is made for a plurality of voting targets, the wager is appropriately distributed for those combinations, and which combination is the target. A calculation may be performed such that the reimbursement amount is the same even if the middle is performed, and the ratio or the amount is calculated.

Further, when a voting ticket purchase instruction can be issued to the server 6 via the Internet 7 by an instruction from the personal computer 8,
For example, it is also preferable that reservation voting and voting cancellation such as "voting if the odds are equal to or more than a predetermined odds" and "voting canceled when the odds fall below a predetermined value" are also preferable.

In the description here, it is described that the server 6 performs the process based on the odds and provides the process to the personal computer 8 side. However, using a known Internet technology, Java (trademark) is used. Like an applet, a processing program may be distributed from the server 6 to the personal computer 8 so that the personal computer 8 performs processing based on odds information.

The odds information stored in the server 6 is downloaded and provided to the personal computer 8, and the processing program pre-installed on the personal computer 8 is used to judge the validity of the above-mentioned prediction and to make the prediction. Each process of calculating a refund based on the information and providing strategy information may be performed.
