[0031] The input device 17 includes input devices such as buttons, keyboards, touch panels, and microphones. The input device 17 receives operation inputs from the user of the server device 100 and outputs signals corresponding to the received operation inputs to the CPU 11.

[0032] (3. Functional Configuration of Server Device in Embodiment) The functional configuration of the server device 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

[0033] Functionally, the server device 100 includes a purchase form presentation unit 101, a sales processing unit 102, a storage unit 103, a list presentation unit 104, and a calculation unit 105. In this embodiment, the CPU 11 and the communication device 16 function as the purchase form presentation unit 101, the sales processing unit 102, the storage unit 103, and the list presentation unit 104, and the CPU 11 functions as the calculation unit 105.

[0034] The purchase form presentation unit 101 causes the terminal device 300 to present a purchase form for the user to confirm or edit the purchase items and quantities of tickets for predicting the results of competitions.

[0035] Tickets for predicting the results of competitions include, for example, vehicle tickets, horse tickets, boat tickets, and sports promotion lottery tickets, and the purchase items are represented by, for example, frame numbers, vehicle numbers, horse numbers, numbers indicating the result of a match, etc.

[0036] FIG. 4 shows an example of a purchase form presented to the terminal device 300. The purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 4 is for the user to confirm or edit the purchase items and quantities of tickets for predicting the results of the "Race R10" of motorcycle racing. The purchase form 510-1 includes a starting list 511, a column 512 for specifying the purchase item, a column 513 for specifying the quantity of tickets, a button 514 to proceed to the procedure for purchasing tickets with the specified purchase item and quantity, a button 515 to save a bookmark indicating the specified purchase item and quantity, a button 516 to display race information, a button 517 to display a list of bookmarks, a button 518 to display a list of tickets for which the button 514 to proceed to the purchase procedure up to the current time has been selected, and a button 519 to display a live video of the race.

[0037] When the number in column 512 is selected by an operation such as tapping, as shown in FIG. 5, the selected number is highlighted. Column 512 in FIG. 5 indicates that the purchase item is "2-4-6". Also, when button 515 is selected by an operation such as tapping, it is highlighted as shown in FIG. 5. Button 516 in FIG. 5 indicates that the purchase item "2-4-6" and the quantity "2" have been saved as bookmarks.

[0038] For example, when the purchase form presentation unit 101 receives a request to present a purchase form for "Race R10" from the terminal device 300 of user X, it transmits the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 4 to the terminal device 300 and causes it to be presented on the terminal device 300 of user X.

[0039] The sales processing unit 102 performs a process of selling a ticket related to the purchase item and quantity specified by the purchase form to the user in response to the user performing a purchase operation on the purchase form.

[0040] For example, when the sales processing unit 102 receives information indicating that button 514 of the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 5 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it causes the terminal device 300 to present a sales page for performing the procedure of purchasing a ticket related to the purchase item "2-4-6" and the quantity "2". The sales processing unit 102 performs processes such as acquiring user information for purchasing the ticket and making a payment based on the operation of user X on the sales page.

[0041] The storage unit 103 stores a bookmark specifying the purchase item and quantity specified by the purchase form in response to the user performing a save operation on the purchase form.

[0042] For example, when the storage unit 103 receives information indicating that button 515 of the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 5 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it stores a bookmark specifying the purchase item "2-4-6" and the quantity "2" for "Race R10" in association with the identification information of user X in the recording medium 14 of the server device 100.

[0043] The list presentation unit 104 causes the terminal device 300 to present a list of the saved bookmarks.

[0044] For example, when the list presentation unit 104 receives information indicating that the button 517 of the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 5 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it transmits a list of the bookmarks saved by user X to the terminal device 300 and causes the terminal device 300 of user X to present it.

[0045] Here, the list presentation unit 104 includes, in the list, the bookmarks for which the user has purchased tickets related to the items and quantities specified by the saved bookmarks.

[0046] For example, assume that the user has saved a bookmark specifying an item "2-4" and a quantity "3" for "Race R8" in the past, and has purchased only "3" tickets for the item "2-4" of "Race R8". In this case, the list presentation unit 104 includes, in the list and presents, the bookmark specifying the item "2-4" and the quantity "3" of the purchased "Race R8".

[0047] In addition, the list presentation unit 104 includes, in the list, information for reminding the content of the item specified by the saved bookmark.

[0048] The information for reminding the content of the item is information about the competitors of the competition related to the item.

[0049] The competitors are, for example, jockeys in cycle racing, riders or starting horses in horse racing, boat racers in boat racing, auto racers in auto racing, and starting member players in soccer or basketball.

[0050] Specifically, the information about the competitors of the competition related to the item is a name, a title, a photo, a caricature, or a symbol mark.

[0051] For example, in the case of the bet "2-4-6" in the bicycle race "Race R10", the information regarding the athletes participating in the event related to the bet is the names of the athletes (rider names) "BBB BBB", "DDD DDD", and "FFF FFF".

[0052] Fig. 6 shows an example of a list of bookmarks presented to the terminal device 300 of user X. The bookmark list 520 in Fig. 6 includes bookmarks 521 to 526 for each race. Bookmarks 521 and 522 are bookmarks related to tickets for races before the voting deadline, and bookmarks 523 to 526 are bookmarks related to tickets for races after the voting deadline and with the results of the event determined. By selecting the icon 530, the detailed information of the bookmarks 521 to 526 can be expanded and displayed or hidden.

[0053] Bookmark 521 includes a bet 5211, a quantity 5212, the name of the rider with the race number of the bet 5213, and odds 5214. Similarly, bookmark 522 includes a bet 5221, a quantity 5222, the name of the rider with the race number of the bet 5223, and odds 5224. Also, bookmark 523 includes two bookmarks 523-1 and 523-2. Bookmark 523-1 is a bookmark for a bet that was predicted correctly and for a ticket that was not purchased, and bookmark 523-2 is a bookmark for a bet that was predicted incorrectly and for a ticket that was purchased. The bookmark 523-1 for the correct prediction is highlighted as shown in Fig. 6. Bookmark 523-1 includes a bet 523-11, a quantity 523-12, the name of the rider with the race number of the bet 523-13, odds 523-14, and further includes a refund amount 523-15 calculated by the calculation unit 105 described later. Also, bookmark 523-2 includes a bet 523-21, a quantity 523-22, the name of the rider with the race number of the bet 523-23, odds 523-24, and further includes information 523-25 indicating that the user has purchased it.

[0054] If the result of the competition related to the bet specified by the saved bookmark has been determined, the calculation unit 105 calculates the refund amount based on the bet and quantity specified by the bookmark.

[0055] For example, for bookmarks 523 to 526 (Fig. 6) related to tickets of a race whose result has been determined, the calculation unit 105 calculates the refund amount based on the bets and quantities specified by bookmarks 523 to 526. Specifically, the calculation unit 105 refers to the race results stored in the database 200 to determine whether the prediction of each bet specified by bookmarks 523 to 526 is correct or incorrect. Then, the calculation unit 105 calculates the refund amount for the bets whose predictions are correct among the bets specified by bookmarks 523 to 526. For example, the calculation unit 105 obtains a refund amount of "160,800 yen" based on the bet "1-3-5" and quantity "3" of bookmark 523-1 whose prediction is correct. On the other hand, the calculation unit 105 determines that the prediction of the bet of bookmark 523-2 is incorrect and does not calculate the refund amount.

[0056] Then, the list presentation unit 104 causes the terminal device 300 to present in the list the refund amount calculated for the saved bookmarks.

[0057] For example, as shown in Fig. 6, the list presentation unit 104 causes the terminal device 300 to present in the list 520 by including the refund amount 523-15 calculated for bookmark 523-1. Also, when the prediction of the bet specified by bookmark 524 is correct, the list presentation unit 104 includes it in the list 520 so that the refund amount can be known even when bookmark 524 is not expanded and displayed, as shown in the refund amount 5241 in Fig. 6.

[0058] In addition, when the user selects any bookmark from the list, the purchase form presentation unit 101 causes the terminal device 300 to present a new purchase form for the user to confirm or edit the bet and quantity specified by the selected bookmark.

[0059] For example, in the list 520 of FIG. 6, assuming that the purchase item 5221 of the bookmark 522 is selected by the user by tapping or the like, the list presentation unit 104 determines that the bookmark 522 has been selected, and as shown in FIG. 7, the purchase form presentation unit 101 causes the terminal device 300 to present the purchase form 510-2 in which the purchase item "6-3-1" and the quantity "1" of the "race R9" indicated by the bookmark 522 are specified.

[0060] (4. Operation of the Server Device in the Embodiment) The operation of the server device 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 8. For example, when the server device 100 receives a request to present a purchase form from the terminal device 300, it starts the control process shown in FIG. 8.

[0061] The purchase form presentation unit 101 causes the terminal device 300 to present a purchase form for the user to confirm or edit the purchase item and quantity of the ticket for predicting the result of the competition (step S101).

[0062] For example, when the purchase form presentation unit 101 receives a request to present a purchase form for "race R10" from the terminal device 300 of user X, it transmits the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 4 to the terminal device 300 and causes the terminal device 300 to present it.

[0063] The sales processing unit 102 determines whether a purchase operation by the user has been performed on the purchase form (step S102). When the sales processing unit 102 determines that a purchase operation by the user has been performed on the purchase form (step S102; YES), it performs a process of selling the ticket related to the purchase item and quantity specified by the purchase form to the user (step S103). On the other hand, when the sales processing unit 102 determines that no purchase operation by the user has been performed on the purchase form (step S102; YES), it proceeds to step S104.

[0064] For example, when the sales processing unit 102 receives information indicating that the button 514 of the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 5 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it determines that a purchase operation has been performed by the user, and presents a sales page for the procedure of purchasing tickets related to the purchase item "2-4-6" and the quantity "2" to the terminal device 300. Based on the user's operation on the sales page, it performs processes such as obtaining user information and making a payment for purchasing the tickets. On the other hand, when the sales processing unit 102 does not receive information indicating that the button 514 of the purchase form 510-1 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it determines that no purchase operation has been performed by the user and proceeds to step S104.

[0065] The storage unit 103 determines whether a save operation has been performed by the user in the purchase form (step S104). When the storage unit 103 determines that a save operation has been performed by the user in the purchase form (step S104; YES), it saves a bookmark specifying the purchase item and quantity specified by the purchase form (step S105). Then, it returns to step S102. On the other hand, when the storage unit 103 determines that no save operation has been performed by the user in the purchase form (step S104; NO), it proceeds to step S106.

[0066] For example, when the storage unit 103 receives information indicating that the button 515 of the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 5 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it determines that a save operation has been performed by the user, and saves a bookmark specifying the purchase item "2-4-6" and the quantity "2" for "Race R10" in association with the identification information of user X. On the other hand, when the storage unit 103 does not receive information indicating that the button 515 of the purchase form 510-1 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it determines that no save operation has been performed by the user and proceeds to step S106.

[0067] The list presentation unit 104 determines whether or not a list display operation has been performed by the user in the purchase form (step S106). When the list presentation unit 104 determines that a list display operation has been performed by the user in the purchase form (step S106; YES), if the result of the competition related to the purchase item specified by the saved bookmark has been determined, the calculation unit 105 calculates the refund amount based on the purchase item and quantity specified by the bookmark (step S107). Then, the list presentation unit 104 causes the terminal device 300 to present the list of the saved bookmarks including the calculated refund amount (step S108). On the other hand, when the list presentation unit 104 determines that a list display operation has not been performed by the user in the purchase form (step S106; NO), the process returns to step S102.

[0068] For example, when the list presentation unit 104 receives information indicating that the button 517 of the purchase form 510-1 in FIG. 5 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it determines that a list display operation has been performed by the user, and the calculation unit 105 calculates the refund amount based on the purchase items and quantities specified by the bookmarks 523 to 526 (FIG. 6) related to the tickets of the races whose results have been determined. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the list presentation unit 104 causes the terminal device 300 of user X to present the calculated refund amounts 523-15 and 5241 included in the list 520. On the other hand, when the list presentation unit 104 does not receive information indicating that the button 517 of the purchase form 510-1 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it determines that a list display operation has not been performed by the user, and the process returns to step S102.

[0069] The list display unit 104 determines whether or not a user has selected a bookmark in the list (step S109). When the list display unit 104 determines that a user has selected a bookmark in the list (step S109; YES), the purchase form display unit 101 causes the terminal device 300 to display a new purchase form for the user to confirm or edit the item to be purchased and the quantity specified by the selected bookmark (step S110). On the other hand, when the list display unit 104 determines that a user has not selected a bookmark in the list (step S109; NO), it waits as it is.

[0070] For example, when the list display unit 104 receives information indicating that the item 52211 of the bookmark 522 in the list 520 of FIG. 6 has been selected from the terminal device 300 of user X, it determines that the user has selected the bookmark 522, and the purchase form display unit 101 causes the terminal device 300 of user X to display the purchase form 510-2 in which the item “6-3-1” of “Race R9” and the quantity “1” indicated by the bookmark 522 are specified, as shown in FIG. 7. On the other hand, when the list display unit 104 does not receive information indicating that any bookmark item in the list 520 of FIG. 6 has been selected, it determines that the user has not selected a bookmark and waits as it is.

[0071] According to the present embodiment, the item to be purchased and the quantity expected by the user are saved in the bookmark, and the refund amount based on the item and quantity of the saved bookmark is presented. Thereby, if the user has saved it in the bookmark, the user can confirm the refund amount calculated based on the expected item and quantity, and can analyze the user's prediction including the item that was expected but not purchased.

[0072] Also, according to the present embodiment, a list including bookmarks of the purchased items and the quantities of the coupons related thereto is presented. This facilitates the comparison between the predicted results of the coupons for the purchased items and quantities and the predicted results of the coupons for the items and quantities that were not purchased, and enables a detailed analysis of one's own predictions.

[0073] Also, according to the present embodiment, the list of bookmarks is presented including information for reminding the content of the items. Generally, since items are represented by numbers, it is difficult to grasp what predictions were made just by looking at the items. However, just by looking at the list of bookmarks, the content of the items can be grasped, and the analysis of one's own predictions can be easily performed.

[0074] (5. Modification Example) As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been explained. However, in implementing the present invention, various forms of modification and application are possible.

[0075] In the above embodiment, an example in which the names (athlete names) of the athletes are displayed in the list 520 of FIG. 6 has been shown. However, the aspect of including information regarding the athletes of the competition related to the items in the list is not limited to this. For example, when the athlete name 5213 in FIG. 6 is selected by tapping or the like, the list presentation unit 104 may display a face photo of the athlete included in the athlete name 5213 by way of a pop-up.

[0076] Also, by applying the operation program that defines the operation of the server device 100 according to the above embodiment to an existing personal computer or information terminal device, it is also possible to cause the personal computer or information terminal device to function as the server device 100 according to the embodiment.

[0077] The present invention can be embodied in various forms and variations without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. Also, the above-described embodiments are for explaining the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. That is, the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims rather than the embodiments. And various modifications made within the scope of the claims and within the scope of the meaning of the invention equivalent thereto are considered to be within the scope of this invention.
