The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and has the campaign organizer immediately and directly promote the personal information of the applicant while having the consumer enjoy the campaign and promoting the product. An object of the present invention is to provide one of product promotion means capable of collecting information.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems A first method for solving the above problems is described below.
The present invention is a bar code lottery lottery provided with a plurality of different bar codes, and a hit is determined by selecting one of them. The manufacturer can promote the specific product by giving the barcode lottery ticket to the purchaser of the specific product. Campaign applicants,
You can easily participate in the campaign because you only need to select one from multiple barcodes.

According to a second invention for solving the above-mentioned problems, the barcode of the barcode lottery lottery of the first invention is read,
A lottery device that determines a hit or a miss, and receives a barcode representing a serial number of a lottery ticket different from a barcode to be selected for the lottery, or decodes a barcode to be a lottery target. This is a lottery device having a function of interpreting a part of a character number as a serial number of a lottery lottery and checking for repeated use of the lottery lottery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the most preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an overall view of a campaign execution system 1 using a lottery ticket based on the present invention. Reference numeral 8 denotes a store for selling products. Consumers (applicants) purchase products here. 10 is a bar code lottery lottery. Attached to the purchased product. Reference numeral 3 denotes a personal computer or the like which is an applicant terminal provided with a barcode reader, and is connected to the Internet 9. In addition, when the address barcode is read, the URL of the computer constituting the applicant terminal 3 is input to the computer.
(An address on the Internet) and a program module to access it. Reference numeral 15 denotes equipment of a product maker (campaign organizer). A server computer 5 connected to the Internet 9 and a customer database 7 managed by the server computer 5 are provided. The server 5 also has a function as a lottery device for determining whether a lottery ticket has been hit or lost. The customer database 7 records personal information (name, address, e-mail address, age, gender, etc.) of the registered customer and information such as the number of acquired points.

FIG. 2 shows the appearance of the bar code lottery lottery 10. In FIG. 2, it is a lottery lottery for selecting one from six barcodes. Actually, in addition to the barcode for determining the hit or miss, a barcode (address barcode) indicating the URL of the server computer 5 performing the lottery and the ID of the lottery lottery card are printed on the front or back of the lottery lottery 10. A bar code indicating the number (serial number) is displayed. However, the barcode indicating the ID number of the card itself can be omitted. In that case, a number composed of several digits of numbers or characters represented by a bar code that determines the hit or miss is regarded as the ID number of the card. In the following description, a case will be described in which the upper digit of the selected barcode is a lottery ID number.

Next, the operation flow of the campaign execution system 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, a customer purchases a campaign product and draws a lottery ticket.
Is obtained from the purchase store (S1). The customer causes the applicant terminal 3 to read the address barcode of the lottery ticket,
Access the server 5 (S2). The server 5 requests the input of the member ID number, and displays a page screen prompting the unregistered person to register (S100). Here, if the applicant has not registered, he or she inputs necessary personal information and registers as a member (S
3). If you are a registered member, enter your ID number (S4). Next, the applicant selects one barcode from the lottery lottery 10 and inputs it from the terminal 3 (S5).

The server 5 extracts the lottery lottery ID from the sent bar code number, and checks whether or not there has been an application for a lottery with the same ID in the past by referring to the lottery lottery use record table (S120). . If it is determined that the application is a duplicate application, an error message is immediately displayed (S130), and the process ends. If it is not a duplicate application, the fact that the lottery lottery ID has been used is recorded in the lottery lottery use record table, and then the winning table is referenced (S140), and the received barcode number or lottery lottery ID is received. It is determined whether the combination of the barcode numbers is a winning lot (S150). In the case of a disconnection, a disconnection message is displayed (S160), and the processing ends. In the case of a hit, a hit message is displayed (S170), and a measure corresponding to the hit content is performed (S18).
0). For example, in the case of a hit, if the determined amount of points is to be added, the personal record of the applicant in the customer database 7 is updated as such.

The campaign execution system 1 which is the most preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above. The applicant terminal 3 and the server computer 5 are a WWW (World Wide Web)
Using the technology, the interactive processing and the coordination processing with the customer database can be realized relatively easily. However, it may be realized without using WWW technology. The bar code lottery ticket can be used in a form that does not use a network. The computer constituting the applicant terminal 3 may be incorporated in a store as a lottery device by incorporating a program module for judging whether or not the lottery has been won or not, and for checking the repeated use of the lottery lottery. However, in this case, the lottery place is 1
The prizes will be very small and handed over on the spot.

[0014]

As described above in detail, by using the bar code lottery lottery and bar code lottery system of the present invention, as shown in the campaign execution system 1, it is possible for consumers to participate in the campaign while having fun. In addition, it is possible to provide a product promotion means that allows the campaign organizer to directly collect personal information of the applicant immediately while promoting the product.
