Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
First Embodiment
The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a voting device according to a first embodiment.
The voting device 1 is installed in a public stadium or an outside ballot ticket counter of the public stadium, accepts a voting card (and payment) filled with voting content from a fan, and selects a voting ticket based on the voting content of the voting card It is to issue a ticket. Such a voting device 1 includes a correction determination unit 2, an attribute acquisition unit 3, and a vote confirmation unit 4.

  The correction determination unit 2 determines whether it is necessary to correct the voting content of the voting card 6 for the fan 5 to purchase a voting ticket. For example, when the voting device 1 receives the voting card 6 from the fan 5, the correction determination unit 2 reads the voting content of the voting card 6 and determines whether or not the voting content needs to be corrected.

  The attribute acquisition unit 3 acquires the attribute of the fan 5. For example, the voting device 1 is provided with a camera, and takes an image of the face of the fan 5 in front of the voting device 1 in order to insert the voting card 6 by the camera. The attribute acquiring unit 3 can acquire the age, sex, and the like of the fan 5 as an attribute from the image of the face.

  The vote confirmation unit 4 guides and confirms the vote content according to the attribute to the fan 5 based on the determination result of the vote content. For example, when the voting device 1 determines that the correction of the voting content of the voting card 6 is required by the correction determination unit 2, the voting card 6 has details according to the attribute of the fan 5 acquired by the attribute acquisition unit 3. We guide fan 5 and let you confirm vote contents of. As a guide method at this time, for example, the contents of the vote are output from a display device (not shown) provided in the voting device 1 or a speaker (not shown) provided in the voting device 1 or the like. Also, if the attribute of the fan 5 is, for example, a male and a middle age group, the fan 5 is considered to be skilled in public competition. In this case, the fan 5 is briefly guided to confirm the vote content requiring correction. Moreover, when the attribute of the fan 5 is, for example, a woman, the fan 5 may be unfamiliar with public competition. In this case, the fan 5 is notified and confirmed in detail the contents of the vote requiring correction.

Next, a voting method in the voting device 1 having such a configuration will be described. In addition, below, the case where the voting content of the voting card 6 requires a correction is demonstrated.
The fan 5 inserts the voting card 6 in which the content of the voting is entered into the voting device 1, and deposits a predetermined amount of money. When the voting device 1 receives the voting card 6, the correction determination unit 2 determines that the voting contents of the voting card 6 require correction. At this time, the attribute acquisition unit 3 authenticates the face image of the fan 5 taken by, for example, the camera installed in the voting device 1 and acquires the attributes (sex, age) of the fan 5.

  Furthermore, when the attribute acquired by the attribute acquisition unit 3 is, for example, a male and is a middle age group, the vote confirmation unit 4 simply guides the fan 5 with the voting contents of the voting card 6 in a simplified manner. (Display) to confirm. As a result, since the fan 5 who is skilled in public competition can appropriately confirm the content of the vote, the content of the vote can be appropriately corrected. In addition, when the attribute acquired by the attribute acquisition unit 3 is, for example, a woman, the vote confirmation unit 4 causes the fan 5 to guide (display) and confirm the vote contents of the vote card 6 in detail. As a result, even the fan 5 who is not used to public competition can check the contents of the vote appropriately, it is possible to smoothly correct the contents of the vote.

  As described above, in the voting device 1, the fan 5 determines whether it is necessary to correct the voting content of the voting card 6 for purchasing the voting ticket, acquires the attribute of the fan 5, and the determination result of the voting content , The fan 5 guides and confirms the vote contents according to the attribute. Thus, the voting device 1 can guide and confirm the voting content of the voting card 6 requiring correction according to the degree of proficiency of the fan 5 in the public competition. For this reason, even if the fan 5 who is not used to public competition can appropriately confirm the contents of the vote, the correction of the contents of the vote can be smoothly performed, and the correction time can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor cost of the presenter of the modification of the voting card 6 executed by the voting device 1 without causing the other fans 5 to wait.

[Step S14] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 determines whether or not the voting contents of the voting card read in step S13 require correction.
In addition, correction of the content of a vote is a mark with contradiction as content of a vote, for example, omission of entry of a mark, a mark mistake of a monetary amount unit, etc., and when voting can not be performed, it determines with correction.

  In the next process, the process of step S15 is executed if the voting content of the voting card requires correction (yes), and the process of step S18 is performed if the voting content of the voting card does not require correction (no) Is executed.

  [Step S15] The control unit 410 of the voting device executes display processing of the voting content of the voting card, displays the voting content of the voting card on the display 420, and receives correction of the voting content from the fan.

The details of the process of step S15 will be described later.
[Step S16] The fan confirms the voting content of the voting card displayed in Step S15 on the display 420, performs operation input on the touch panel 422, and performs correction input of the voting content.

[Step S17] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 determines whether or not the correction input for the voting content of the voting card has been completed.
In the next process, when the correction input to the voting content of the voting card is completed (yes), the process of step S18 is performed. In addition, when the fan is a minor and is not a target as a voter (when it is input that the age is not 20 or more in step S34 of the vote content display process described later), the process of step S26 is executed. Ru. If the correction input is not completed (no), the process returns to step S15.

[Step S18] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 determines whether there is a balance in the amount received from the fan.
When there is no balance in the amount of money received from the fan (no), the control unit 410 of the voting device 400 executes the process of step S19. If there is a balance in the amount received from the fan (yes), the voting content of the voting card is transmitted to the host computer 200 via the network 300, and the process of step S22 is executed.

[Step S19] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 displays that the balance is insufficient on the display 420, and urges additional deposits from the fans.

In addition, the CPU of the host computer 200 transmits, via the network 300, to the voting device 400, a ticketing permission notification of a voting ticket based on the content of the voting.

  [Step S23] When receiving the ticket issuance permission notification from the host computer 200, the control unit 410 of the voting device 400 operates the voting ticket issuing unit 427 to issue a voting ticket from the voting ticket issue port 427a.

[Step S24] The fan receives the issued voting ticket from the voting device 400.
[Step S25] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400, for example, displays a screen for selecting whether to perform settlement on the display 420, and receives a selection input from a fan.

  In the next process, when the input of the settlement is received from the fan (yes), the process of step S26 is executed, and when the continuation of the purchase of the voting ticket is received without performing the settlement from the fan (no) Step S12 is executed again.

  [Step S26] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 operates the bill processing unit 425 and the coin processing unit 426 for the difference (change) of the amount of money required to purchase a voting ticket from the cash deposited in steps S10 and S20. Thus, the change is discharged from the bill input / output port 425a and the coin discharge port 426b.

[Step S27] The fan receives the change released in Step S26.
Next, the vote content display process of step S15 will be described using FIG.

  [Step S30] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 operates the camera unit 429 to capture an image of the fan's face. The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 authenticates the face from the photographed face image.

  [Step S31] As a result of face authentication, the control unit 410 of the voting device 400 executes the process of step S32 when the fan attribute is 20 to 50 years old and male. If the attribute of the fan is 51 or older, male or female, the process of step S33 is performed. If the attribute of the fan is 19 or less, the process of step S34 is performed.

[Step S32] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 executes a voting correction process (simple), displays the voting content of the voting card, and receives the correction of the voting content.
[Step S33] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 executes a voting correction process (details), displays the voting content of the voting card, and receives the correction of the voting content.

[Step S34] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 displays a screen asking whether the fan is 20 years old or older on the display 420, and receives an input from the fan.
In the next process, when an input indicating that the user is over 20 years old is accepted from the fan (yes), the process of step S32 is executed, and an input indicating that the user is not over 20 years old (or under 20 years old) is received from the fan ( and the vote content display process is ended.

Next, the vote correction process (simple) in step S32 and the vote correction process (detail) in step S33 will be described.
First, the vote correction process (simple) will be described using FIGS.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a voting correction process (simple) (step S32) executed by the voting device of the second embodiment.
Moreover, FIG. 7 is a figure which shows the example (example distinction) confirmation screen displayed by the voting correction process by the voting apparatus of 2nd Embodiment, and FIG. 8 is the voting apparatus by 2nd Embodiment. It is a figure which shows the example of a correction screen (formula distinction) displayed by voting correction process.

  In step S31 of the voting content display process of FIG. 5, it is determined that the attribute of the fan is "20 to 50 years old, male". That is, fans are considered to be skilled to public competition to some extent. For this reason, when modifying the contents of voting, among the contents of "place name", "by type", "race number", "group number", and "amount (unit)" of voting contents as in the following processing. , "By formula", "race number", "amount (unit)" will be confirmed simply.

[Step S40] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 displays a formula-based confirmation screen on the display 420.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the formula-based confirmation screen is a screen for confirming what is currently entered as a formula-based entry (“three-in-one unit” in FIG. 7). In this screen, if there is no problem with what is currently entered as a formula-by-type, an input to the "yes no problem" button 420a is accepted. Also, if it is desired to correct what is currently entered as an expression, the input to the "No Modify" button 420b is accepted.

The “formula confirmation screen” is provided with a “move to formula type confirmation (detail)” button 420 c for shifting to the vote correction process (detail) of the formula type confirmation (formula confirmation screen).
The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 displays such a formula-based confirmation screen on the display 420 and receives a selection input from the fan.

  [Step S41] In the case where the next process requires (corrects) a formula-based correction in response to a selection input from a fan, the process of step S42 is executed, and no formula-based correction is necessary. If not corrected, the process of step S44 is performed. Further, when the movement of the formula-based confirmation to the vote correction process (detail) is received (D1), the process of step S66 of FIG. 10 is executed.

[Step S42] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 displays a formula-based correction screen on the display 420.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the formula-based correction screen is provided with a formula-based selection area 420 d on which the contents of the current vote can be displayed on the display 420 and the formula-based selection can be selected.

The fan can be selected by touching a desired formula by selecting it from the formula selection area 420 d of the formula-based correction screen.
[Step S43] In the next processing, the correction by expression is awaited from the fan (step S42), and when the correction by expression is received, the processing of step S44 is executed.

[Step S44] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 causes the display 420 to display a race number confirmation screen for confirming the race number.
The race number confirmation screen (not shown) is a screen for confirming what is currently entered as the race number, as in the expression type number confirmation screen (FIG. 7). Also on this screen, similarly to the formula-based number confirmation screen, it is possible to receive a selection input as to whether the race number currently entered is to be maintained (no correction required) or to be corrected (correction required). Similarly, the race number confirmation screen is also provided with a “move to race number confirmation (detail)” button to shift to the vote correction process (detail) of the race number confirmation.

  [Step S45] When the race number needs to be corrected (corrected) according to the selection input from the fan, the process of step S46 is executed, and the race number does not need to be corrected. If not corrected, the process of step S48 is performed. Further, when the move to the vote correction process (details) of the race number confirmation is received (D2), the process of step S72 of FIG. 10 is executed.

[Step S46] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 displays a race number correction screen on the display 420.
Similar to the formula-based correction screen (FIG. 8), in the race number correction screen (not shown), the current vote content is displayed on the display 420, and a race number can be selected.

The fan can be selected by touching the desired race number from the race number correction screen.
[Step S47] In the next process, the correction of the race number is awaited from the fan (step S46), and when the correction of the race number is accepted, the process of step S48 is executed.

[Step S48] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 causes the display 420 to display an amount (unit) confirmation screen for confirming the amount (unit).
The amount (unit) confirmation screen (not shown) is a screen for confirming what is currently entered as the amount (unit), as in the expression type number confirmation screen (FIG. 7). Also on this screen, as in the case of the formula-based number confirmation screen, it is possible to receive a selection input as to whether the amount (unit) currently written is maintained (no correction required) or corrected (correction required). Similarly, on the amount (unit) confirmation screen, a “move to amount (unit) confirmation (detail) confirmation” button is provided to shift to the vote correction process (detail) of the amount (unit) confirmation.

  [Step S49] In the next process, if it is necessary to correct the amount (unit) according to the selection input from the fan (correction is performed), the process of step S50 is executed to correct the amount (unit) Is unnecessary (does not correct), the vote correction process (simple) is ended. Further, when the movement of the amount (unit) confirmation to the vote correction process (detail) is accepted (D3), the process of step S84 in FIG. 11 is executed.

[Step S50] The control unit 410 of the voting device 400 displays an amount (unit) correction screen on the display 420.
