Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a winning / losing prediction paper for keirin or a web version thereof, in which a company that issues such a paper based on various data from races in which a plurality of keirin racers have competed to date quantifies the expected rating of all entrants in each race (five to nine entrants per race) with reference to the expected rating, athlete ability values, number of wins by strategy, and number of wins in the past few races, and then displays these expected rating values ​​using a number of different sized graphic marks in different colors according to the expected rating. The athlete ability values ​​are then displayed graphically in the form of a radar chart, and the number of wins by strategy is displayed as a bar graph, and the number of wins in the past few races is displayed as a pie chart, for visualization purposes. By reading the paper version of the winning / losing prediction paper or the web version of the digitized paper as an electronic medium on a PC, tablet, or smartphone, readers can easily compare the racers visually by the differences in color or size using the color and graph displays rather than just numerical values, thereby enabling them to make predictions about the outcome in a short amount of time. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally published Keirin race prediction papers or their online versions have different styles depending on the publishing company, but an example is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 is a plan view of a traditionally published Keirin race prediction paper as a paper medium, with a rectangular title column 32 for various displays provided at one end of a rectangular piece of paper 31, and multiple rectangular athlete display columns 33 formed to match the number of participating athletes connected to the other side of the title column 32. Each player's name 35 is displayed in each player's name display area 34 above each player's display area 33, and above the player's name 35, winning / losing prediction marks 36 created by the publishing company or other related parties are displayed, each in the form of ``◎'', ``○'', ``×'', ``△'', ``▲'' and ``Note''.Furthermore, below the title area 32, an overall evaluation display area 37 and a race commentary display area 38 are provided at a distance from each other, and each player's display area 34 corresponding to this overall evaluation display area 37 and race commentary display area 38 displays evaluation displays 39 in the form of numbers and letters evaluating the player, such as the finishing order in multiple races and the amount of prize money won.Based on these evaluation displays 39, each player's display area 34 corresponding to the overall evaluation display area 37 and race commentary display area 38 displays an overall evaluation number 40 and a race commentary 41, such as ``definitely has the leading ability'' or ``the number of wins has decreased'', determined at the discretion of the newspaper publisher. The prediction marks 36 indicate the predicted top prize winners in the order of "◎", "○", "×", "△", "▲", and "Note". Note that the web version of the winning / losing prediction paper for bicycle racing is a digitized version of the paper-based winning / losing prediction paper in the same format, and is posted on the web as an electronic medium, so the content is the same, with the only difference being whether it is a paper medium or an electronic medium.

[0003] As mentioned above, traditionally, publishers of bicycle racing prediction papers or their web versions evaluate each rider and publish bicycle racing prediction papers or their web versions in their own unique style, but all of them are created using a combination of numbers and letters only. Furthermore, we retrospectively searched past patent documents related to the creation of these bicycle racing prediction papers or their web versions, but we were unable to find a single one. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As mentioned above, in the Keirin race prediction papers or their web versions that have been published up until now, each publishing company has evaluated each rider and published the Keirin race prediction paper or its web version in their own style, but all of them are created using a combination of numbers and letters, so when a reader looks at the Keirin race prediction paper or its web version and predicts the winner, they have to take time to read and compare the numbers and letters to predict the outcome, which means that it takes time to make a prediction, and there is an issue that it is difficult to make a prediction in a short amount of time.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a method for producing a Keirin winning / losing prediction paper or a web version thereof, in which a company that publishes a Keirin winning / losing prediction paper or a web version thereof quantifies the expected rating of all entrants in each race, the athlete ability value, the number of wins by strategy, the number of wins in the past few races, etc., based on various data from races in which a plurality of Keirin racers have competed in the past, and forms these expected rating values ​​into a number of different sized graphic marks that are colored appropriately according to the expected rating, and also graphically displays the athlete ability values ​​in the form of a radar chart, and also displays the number of wins by strategy in a bar graph, and further displays the number of wins in the past few races in a pie chart, thereby visualizing the results so that readers can compare each racer in an extremely short time by using the colored and graphical displays rather than just numbers and text, and as a result, can make predictions for the outcome extremely quickly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention provides a title column 2 for various displays at one end of a rectangular sheet of paper 1, and a plurality of athlete display columns 3 formed in accordance with the number of participating athletes are provided on the other side of the title column 2, and each athlete's name 5 is displayed in the athlete name display section 4 above each athlete display column 3, and the title columns 2 for various displays each contain the expected rating 7, athlete ability value 8, number of wins by strategy 9, number of wins in multiple past races 10, and finishing order of past races 11 as titles, In the display column 3 for each athlete corresponding to the rating expectation 7 in the title column 2, a rating expectation indicating the athlete's ability and ranking, which is created by a company that issues a Keirin prediction paper or its web version based on various data from races that each athlete has run in up to now, is set and displayed as a numerical value 12, and in accordance with the numerical value 12 indicating this expectation, a plurality of different sized graphic marks 13 are displayed in order from smallest to largest in accordance with the numerical value, The athlete ability values ​​8 in the title column 2 are set and displayed numerically by a company that issues a winning / losing prediction paper for keirin races, based on various data from races in which a plurality of keirin racers have competed up to now, and are divided into the categories of "mobility," "sprint," "closing kick," "danger," "performance," and "potential." In the display column 3 for each athlete corresponding to the athlete ability value 8 in the title column 2, an ability value 15 for each of "mobility," "sprint," "closing kick," "danger," "performance," and "potential" is set and displayed based on various data from races in which the keirin racer has competed up to now, and each of the set and displayed ability values ​​15 is displayed together with a small circle 14 that is each colored differently. Furthermore, above the small circles 14 and ability values ​​15, a radar chart graph 16 is displayed that comparatively expresses the balance and tendency of each ability value 15, allowing the ability values ​​of the racers to be easily seen and compared by color and size of area. The radar chart graph 16 is formed by displaying a variable having six items in six radial directions from the center of a hexagon to each vertex, with the center being 0, and for each item, the larger the value, the further outward the item, using small circles 18 of the same color as the small circles 14, and by connecting data adjacent to each other on the six small circles 18 with lines 17, and by displaying the area within the lines 17 in color 19. In the display column 3 for each athlete corresponding to the number of wins by strategy 9 in the title column 2, the number of times that the athlete has come in first or second place by "breaking away," "making an attack," "chasing," and "marking" is displayed in the upper row as a numerical display 21 in the same order as the display in the title column 2, and the number of times that the athlete has come in first place by "breaking away," "making an attack," "chasing," and "marking" is displayed in the lower row as a numerical display 22 in the same order as the display in the title column 2, and further, above and below the numerical displays 21 and 22 in the upper and lower rows, four different colored graphic displays 20 indicating the "breaking away," "making an attack," "chasing," and "marking" and bar graphs 23 and 24 of the same color are displayed, In the win count display section 10 of the title column 2, the "1st place", "2nd place", "3rd place" and "other" displays 11 that the athlete has acquired in the past several races are displayed, and four color-coded graphic displays 25 are displayed in front of each of the "1st place", "2nd place", "3rd place" and "other" displays 11. Furthermore, in the athlete display column 3 corresponding to the win count display section 10, the four color-coded graphic displays 25 that indicate the "1st place", "2nd place", "3rd place" and "other" in the win count display section 10 are displayed in the same graphic display 26 as the four color-coded graphic displays 25. The above problem was solved by adopting a method in which numerical displays 27 showing the number of times each horse has come in "1st", "2nd", "3rd" and "other" below the graphic displays 26, and a pie chart 28 showing the number of times each horse has come in "1st", "2nd", "3rd" and "other" as a percentage in the same color above each graphic display 26, and a numerical display 29 showing the number of races entered in the blank space in the center of the pie chart 28, to create a winning prediction sheet for keirin, or by digitizing the winning prediction sheet to create a web version. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention having the above configuration, a company that issues a Keirin winning / losing prediction paper or a web version thereof uses various data from races in which a plurality of Keirin racers have competed in the past, and refers to the expected rating of all participants in each race, the racer ability values, the number of wins by strategy, the number of wins in the past few races, etc., and quantifies these, while displaying these expected rating values, etc., using a number of different sized graphic marks in an appropriate color according to the expected rating, and then issues a Keirin winning / losing prediction paper or a web version thereof that graphically displays the athlete ability values ​​in the form of a radar chart, as well as a bar graph of the number of wins by strategy, and further a pie chart of the number of wins in the past few races.By issuing a Keirin winning / losing prediction paper or a web version thereof, compared to conventional Keirin winning / losing prediction papers that are made up of only numerical values, the colored and graphical displays make it easy to visually compare each racer by the differences in color or size, and therefore it has the excellent effect of allowing predictions for wins and losses to be made in a short amount of time. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a plan view of a winning prediction sheet created by the method for creating a winning prediction sheet for bicycle racing according to the present invention. FIG. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a plan view of a conventionally published winning / losing prediction sheet for bicycle races. [Example]

[0009] The present invention relates to a method for creating a winning prediction sheet or a web version thereof issued by a company that issues winning prediction sheets for keirin, and Figure 1 is a plan view of a winning prediction sheet created by the method for creating a winning prediction sheet for keirin of the present invention, in which a rectangular title column 2 for various displays is provided at one end of a rectangular piece of paper 1, and a plurality of rectangular player display columns 3 formed to match the number of participating athletes (9 in the embodiment) are adjacently provided on the other side of the title column 2. Each athlete's name 5 (in the embodiment, a photo 6 of each athlete is also displayed, but this is not an essential component of the present invention) is displayed in a player name display section 4 above each player display column 3, and the title column 2 for various displays contains headings such as expected rating 7, athlete ability value 8, number of wins by strategy 9, number of wins in multiple races entered in the past 10, and finishing order in past races entered 11, respectively.

[0010] In the display column 3 for each rider, which corresponds to the expected rating 7 in the title column 2, the company that issues the Keirin prediction paper displays the expected rating, which indicates the rider's ability and ranking, based on various data from races that each rider has competed in up to now, as a numerical value 12. In addition, according to the numerical value 12 indicating the expected rating, a number of different sized graphic marks 13, such as star shapes, are displayed in color in order from smallest to largest depending on the numerical value. In other words, rather than reading and comparing the numerical values ​​12 indicating the expected rating, readers can easily visually identify and check the names of riders with the largest number of colored graphic marks 13.

[0011] The athlete ability values ​​8 in the title column 2 are set and displayed numerically by a company that issues Keirin prediction papers, based on various data from races in which multiple Keirin racers have competed in the past, for each of the abilities of "mobility," "sprint," "closing kick," "danger," "performance," and "potential," and the "mobility," "sprint," "closing kick," "danger," "performance," and "potential" are displayed together with colored small circles 14. The athlete display columns 3 corresponding to the athlete ability values ​​8 in the title column 2 set and display ability values ​​15 for "mobility," "sprint," "closing kick," "danger," "performance," and "potential" based on various data from races in which the athlete has competed in the past, and each of the set and displayed ability values ​​15 is displayed together with the colored small circles 14. Furthermore, above the small circles 14 and ability values ​​15, a radar chart graph 16 is displayed to compare the balance and tendency of each ability value 15, allowing the athlete's ability values ​​to be easily seen and compared by color and size.

[0012] Since there are six ability value items 15 in the present invention as described above, the radar chart graph 16 to be created displays the six variables in six radial directions from the center of a hexagon to each vertex, with the center at 0 and each variable being displayed with small circles 18 of the same color as the colored small circles 14, with larger values ​​located further outward, and data between adjacent circles 18 is connected by lines 17. In this case, the range defined by the connected lines 17 is colored 19 to allow for easy visual comparison of the data. By visually checking the colored display 19 for each player, the reader can easily see that the colored display 19 spreads out on average and that the larger the area, the higher the ability value of the player.

[0013] Here, we will explain the details of "mobility," "sprint," "passing kick," "danger," "track record," and "potential" in the aforementioned rider ability score 15. All of these are well-known in the world of keirin. "mobility" quantifies the racing ability of a rider who is self-reliant. "sprint" quantifies the ability to overtake (a riding style that allows a rider to quickly overtake a rider in front), "kama-shi" (a strategy of starting off quickly before other riders can pick up speed), and sharpness (sharpness of talent, technique, etc.). "passing kick" quantifies the number of times a rider positioned behind passes a rider in front at the end. "tender" is a number that indicates whether a rider is prone to dangerous races, such as falls or disqualifications. "track record" quantifies the degree of success in grade races based on the number of wins from a rider's lifetime record. "potential" quantifies the rider's potential as assessed by the reporter, and is primarily an assessment of physical ability based on the rider's performance at the keirin training school at the time of their debut.

[0014] The display column 3 for each athlete, corresponding to the number of wins by strategy 9 in the title column 2, displays the number of times the athlete has come in first or second in the past few races by "breaking away," "overtaking," "chasing," or "marking," using numerical values ​​and a bar graph. The "breaking away" strategy is when a leading athlete in the lead with one lap remaining finishes the race without being overtaken by a runner behind, or when the athlete remains in second place. "Overtaking" is a running strategy in which the athlete overtakes the running athlete in one go. "Chasing" is a strategy in which the athlete follows the leading athlete around the lap. "Marking" is when a runner in second or third place in the line fails to overtake the leading athlete or a runner making an overtake and ends up in second place.

[0015] The title column 2 for the number of wins by strategy 9 in the title column 2 has four different colored graphic displays 20, such as rectangles, representing the "escape," "overtake," "chasing," and "mark," and each graphic display 20 has the characters "escape," "ma," "chasing," and "ma" written in white to indicate the "escape," "overtake," "chasing," and "mark," respectively. Furthermore, "Top runner-up" is written above the four graphic displays 20, and "bottom 1st place" is written below them. The "top runner-up" means that the top row shows the number of times the horse came in 1st or 2nd, and the "bottom 1st place" means that the bottom row shows the number of times the horse came in 1st, and so on, in the respective athlete display columns 3.

[0016] That is, in the display column 3 for each athlete corresponding to the number of wins by strategy 9 in the title column 2, the number of times the athlete has come in first or second place using the ``break,'' ``come-up,'' ``pursuit,'' and ``mark'' is displayed in the upper row as a numerical display 21 in the same order as the arrangement in the title column 2, and the number of times the athlete has come in first place using the ``break,'' ``come-up,'' ``pursuit,'' and ``mark'' is displayed in the lower row as a numerical display 22 in the same order as the arrangement in the title column 2. Furthermore, above and below the numerical displays 21 and 22 in the upper and lower rows, four different colored graphic displays 20 representing the ``break,'' ``come-up,'' ``pursuit,'' and ``mark'' are displayed as bar graphs 23 and 24 in the same color, so that by visually checking the number of wins by strategy 9 in the bar graphs 23 and 24, respectively, it is easier to visually identify the athlete with the most wins by strategy than by looking at the numerical displays 21 and 22 of the number of wins.

[0017] The section 10 displaying the number of wins in a number of past races in the title column 2 displays 11 the "1st", "2nd", "3rd" and "other" positions that the athlete has achieved in the past several races, and in front of each of the "1st", "2nd", "3rd" and "other" positions 11, four color-coded graphic displays 25 such as rectangles are displayed together. Each athlete display column 3 corresponding to the win count display section 10 is displayed with four graphic displays 25 indicating "1st," "2nd," "3rd," and "other" in different colors in the win count display section 10, using the same graphic displays 26, and below each of the graphic displays 26 is displayed a numerical display 27 indicating the number of times the athlete has come in "1st," "2nd," "3rd," and "other," respectively. Above each of the graphic displays 26, a pie chart 28 is displayed in the same color as each of the graphic displays 26, showing the number of times the athlete has come in "1st," "2nd," "3rd," and "other" as a percentage, and a numerical display 29 indicating the number of races the athlete has run is displayed in the blank space in the center of the pie chart 28. This allows the reader to more easily check the ratio of the number of times the athlete has come in "1st" to "3rd" to the number of times the athlete has come in "other" by visually checking the colored pie chart 28, rather than by checking the numerical displays 27.

[0018] Furthermore, the finishing order display section 30 for past races at the bottom of each athlete's display column 3 displays the athlete's past records at other racecourses in numbers and letters, similar to those listed on conventional Keirin winning / losing prediction sheets, and can be used as reference material for predicting winning / losing results, just as in the past.

[0019] The above is a description of how to create a winning prediction sheet for a bicycle race, but the company that publishes the winning prediction sheet for a bicycle race can also digitize the created winning prediction sheet in the same format and create a web version to provide to readers as an electronic medium. As mentioned above, the content of a bicycle winning prediction sheet and its web version is the same, the only difference being whether it is a paper or electronic medium. Therefore, the explanation of the web version will be based on the explanation of the winning prediction sheet as a paper medium, and a detailed explanation of the web version will be omitted.
