DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, a ticket issuing device, a ticket issuing program, and a ticket issuing system according to one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view of a ticket issuing device 10 according to an embodiment. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the ticket issuing device 10 with a door 10B open.

[0012] The ticket issuing device 10 comprises a main body 10A configured, for example, in a box shape, and a door 10B attached to the front side of the main body 10A and capable of opening and closing around one side of the main body 10A. The ticket issuing device 10 also comprises, in the main body 10A, a touch panel monitor 12 which is an example of a "presentation unit" of the present invention, a thermal printer 13 which is an example of a "ticket issuing unit" of the present invention, a code scanner 14 which is an example of a "registration unit" of the present invention, a speaker 15, and a payment terminal 16 which is an example of a "payment means" of the present invention.

[0013] The ticket issuing device 10 is a device that executes a lottery process for, for example, a lottery drawn by a customer or the result of a game played by a customer, and issues a ticket that can be exchanged for a predetermined product. The predetermined product is a plurality of types of products that belong to a specific title. An example of a specific title is a "character series" that includes a plurality of characters. A customer can select any character series from a plurality of character series prepared in advance, and obtain a product associated with that character series through the result of a lottery or game drawn by the customer himself. A customer is an example of a "first type of user" of the present invention.

[0014] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the ticket issuing device 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the ticket issuing device 10 is provided with a main board 11 and a communication module 17 in addition to a touch panel monitor 12, a thermal printer 13, a code scanner 14, a speaker 15, and a payment terminal 16. The touch panel monitor 12, the thermal printer 13, the code scanner 14, the speaker 15, the payment terminal 16, and the communication module 17 are electrically connected to the main board 11. The main board 11 is an example of a "registration unit" of the present invention. The main board 11 is also an example of a "lottery processing unit" of the present invention. A CPU (Central Processing Unit) is mounted on the main board 11. The CPU of the main board 11 controls each unit based on a ticket issuing program stored in a memory unit (not shown) to perform each control of ticket issuing and the like.

[0015] The touch panel monitor 12 is a monitor that presents product information regarding products that can be provided to customers. Products that can be provided to customers are products that are registered on the main board 11. The touch panel monitor 12 can present multiple pieces of product information that can be provided to a customer, for example, before the customer makes a payment through the payment terminal 16. Furthermore, the touch panel monitor 12 can present at least one of the product information selected as a result of the lottery process by the main board 11 and the prize for that product to the customer.

[0016] The thermal printer 13 can issue a ticket with any product information selected by lottery from among multiple pieces of product information registered on the main board 11 attached to it. The ticket is made of paper. The ticket is, for example, a "receipt" that can be exchanged for an actual product. The thermal printer 13 can issue tickets with only the product information registered on the main board 11 attached to it, and will not issue tickets for products that are not registered.

[0017] The thermal printer 13 can also issue a ticket with selected product information attached thereto as a result of the lottery process performed by the main board 11. The thermal printer 13 can also issue a ticket with selected prize information attached thereto as a result of the lottery process performed by the main board 11. The prizes include a first type of prize associated with one product and a second type of prize associated with multiple products. The thermal printer 13 can issue a ticket with either the first type of prize or the second type of prize attached thereto. For example, if the first type of prize is an "A prize," one product is associated with the A prize. If the second type of prize is a "G prize," multiple products such as stickers and magnets are associated with the G prize, and the customer is allowed to select from among these multiple products.

[0018] In addition, the thermal printer 13 can issue a ticket with product information of the selected product on the condition that a second type of prize is selected as a result of the lottery process by the main board 11 and the customer selects any product from a plurality of products associated with the second type of prize.

[0019] The thermal printer 13 can issue a ticket on the condition that payment has been completed by the payment terminal 16. The thermal printer 13 can issue a ticket after presenting at least one of the result of the lottery process by the main board 11, the selected product information, and the prize, on the touch panel monitor 12.

[0020] A prize among a plurality of prizes is set for each of a plurality of pieces of product information registered in the main board 11. The thermal printer 13 can print a ticket bearing any one of the plurality of prizes.

[0021] The thermal printer 13 has a printing unit capable of printing product information and the like on paper media. The thermal printer 13 is configured so that a vendor (different from a customer) involved in providing tickets can access it by opening the door 10B of the main body 10A towards the user (as shown in FIG. 2). The printing unit of the thermal printer 13 is also configured so that paper for tickets can be replenished by opening the door 10B. The vendor is an example of the "second type of user" of the present invention.

[0022] The code scanner 14 reads a code including multiple pieces of product information that can be provided to a customer. The code includes information (request destination) for acquiring the "multiple pieces of product information" from a server. The "multiple pieces of product information" refers to character series information including multiple characters. The server is, for example, an external server 30 (described later in FIG. 4) that can communicate with the ticket issuing device 10. The code scanner 14 is provided on the outer surface of the main body 10A, and is configured to be able to read codes related to replenishment products supplied by a vendor without opening the door 10B.

[0023] The speaker 15 can output information related to ticket issuance by the ticket issuing device 10 as audio. For example, it can provide audio guidance to a customer regarding information related to ticket issuing operations. Specifically, audio guidance is provided regarding the operation procedures related to a lottery to be drawn by the customer or a game to be played by the customer.

[0024] The payment terminal 16 is a terminal capable of accepting payment by card or code, for example. A coin payment module including a coin selector, a cash box, etc. may be provided to accept payment by cash.

[0025] The communication module 17 is a module capable of communicating with an external server 30 (described later with reference to FIG. 4) that is a supplier of product information. The communication module 17 is, for example, an LTE (Long Term Evolution) terminal capable of communicating by LTE.

[0026] The main board 11 can register multiple pieces of product information that can be provided to customers. The main board 11 can register all product information of a character series indicated by a code read by the code scanner 14. The character series includes multiple pieces of product information (also called product group information) that can be provided to customers for each character series. Therefore, the main board 11 can register product information groups for multiple character series by reading multiple codes. The main board 11 can register multiple pieces of product information that can be provided to customers and are included in a character series by registering character series information together with the code scanner 14.

[0027] After the customer selects a character series, the main board 11 can execute a lottery process to select any product information included in the selected character series. For example, the main board 11 can execute a lottery process to select a prize associated with the product information. The main board 11 can also execute a lottery process on the condition that payment is made through the payment terminal 16.

[0028] The ticket issuing device 10 does not include a provision unit for providing the actual product related to the product information attached to the ticket.

[0029] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the ticket issuing system 1. As shown in Fig. 4, the ticket issuing system 1 includes a ticket issuing device 10 and a server 30 capable of communicating with the ticket issuing device 10. The ticket issuing device 10 and the server 30 can be connected via a network 20.

[0030] The ticket issuing device 10 acquires multiple pieces of product information that can be provided to customers from the server 30 via the network 20. The server 30 is a server that can manage the sales of products for each ticket issuing device based on the product information transmitted and received between the ticket issuing device and the server 30. In the above description, the main board 11 is configured to function as a lottery processing unit that performs lottery processing, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the server 30 may function as a lottery processing unit.

[0031] The ticket issuing operation by the ticket issuing device 10 will now be described.

[0032] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a game selection screen 51 displayed on the touch panel monitor 12 of the ticket issuing device 10. When issuing a ticket, for example, a "ticket issuing start button" (not shown) displayed on the touch panel monitor 12 is tapped to transition to the game selection screen 51. The game selection screen 51 includes, for example, a "TICKET" button 51A and a "SKILL" button 51B. The "TICKET" button 51A is a button for conducting a first lottery type lottery (drawing) that does not require a game play operation by the customer. The "SKILL" button 51B is a button for conducting a second lottery type lottery (drawing) that requires a game play operation by the customer. The ticket issuing device 10 can execute a lottery in either the first lottery type or the second lottery type.

[0033] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a product selection screen 52 displayed when the "TICKET" button 51A is selected. The product selection screen 52 displays options for the TICKET lottery that are prepared to be selectable. The product selection screen 52 shown in FIG. 6 displays an option 52A for the "Dinosaur Lottery" as an option. The option 52A for the "Dinosaur Lottery" displays "Dinosaur Lottery" indicating the title (character series) and product information for multiple characters included in the title. These multiple characters are product information registered in the main board 11. Specifically, the option 52A for the "Dinosaur Lottery" displays Dinosaur A figure, Dinosaur B figure, Dinosaur C figure, Dinosaur D figure, Dinosaur key chain, Dinosaur acrylic stand, Dinosaur clear file, Dinosaur Z figure, and the prizes (A prize to G prize, last one prize) associated with these products. In addition, for the prizes for which the available products are out of stock, for example, a "SOLD OUT" label 52B is displayed. For example, the "1 / 3" on the E prize dinosaur keychain indicates that the dinosaur lottery contains three E prizes, one of which has been selected, leaving two remaining. The product selection screen 52 displays the availability of products included in the character series.

[0034] In addition to the "dinosaur lottery" option 52A, other lottery options 52C, 52D, etc. are prepared as selectable ticket lottery options. When a user wishes to play a lottery with these options 52C, 52D, for example, the user taps scroll button 52E to move option 52C on the left to the center of product selection screen 52, or taps scroll button 52F to move option 52D on the right to the center of product selection screen 52. By tapping an option displayed in the center, that ticket lottery (the "dinosaur lottery" in this example) is selected. Note that for each option, an image of the product may be displayed in addition to product information and a prize.

[0035] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a purchase count selection screen 53 that is displayed when the option 52A of the "dinosaur lottery" is selected. The purchase count selection screen 53 displays an input message 53A such as "Please enter the number of purchases" that prompts the user to input the number of times to purchase the dinosaur lottery. The purchase count selection screen 53 also displays a "remaining number of lotteries" 53B that indicates the remaining number of lotteries that can be played for the dinosaur lottery. The display of "12 / 20" indicates that 12 of the 20 lotteries prepared remain. The purchase count selection screen 53 also displays an "input number of times" 53C that indicates the number of purchases entered by the customer (5 times in this example). The input number can be increased or decreased by operating the increase button 53D and the decrease button 53E. However, the number of lottery purchases (number of draws) is limited to be selectable within a range of a predetermined number or less. The purchase count selection screen 53 also displays a "total amount" 53F that indicates the amount required for purchase (50$ in this example). Furthermore, the purchase number selection screen 53 displays an "OK" button 53G for accepting the displayed content, and a "CANCEL" button 53H for canceling the displayed content.

[0036] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the payment screen 54 displayed when the "OK" button 53G is tapped. The payment screen 54 displays a payment message 54A such as "Please confirm the details and make payment" to prompt the customer to make a payment for the purchase of the dinosaur lottery. The payment screen 54 also displays a "number of purchases" 54B indicating the number of dinosaur lottery tickets purchased by the customer (five times in this example). The payment screen 54 also displays a "total amount" 54C indicating the price of the purchased dinosaur lottery tickets ($50 in this example). When the payment screen 54 is displayed, the ticket issuing device 10 accepts a touch payment of a code input by the payment terminal 16, for example. The ticket issuing device 10 is also configured to make a payment according to the number of lotteries performed based on the number of lotteries purchased by the customer.

[0037] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a lottery screen 55 that is displayed when the settlement of the purchased lottery ticket is completed. A selection message 55A such as "Choose your favorite lottery and tap!" is displayed on the lottery screen 55 to encourage the selection of a lottery ticket. Also, lottery options 55B (20 in this example) are displayed on the lottery screen 55. Also, for the lottery tickets that have been selected by others or the customer, the lottery results are displayed. For example, in this example, it is displayed that a total of eight tickets have been selected, including one C prize, one D prize, one E prize, two F prizes, and three G prizes. These selected options 55B cannot be selected. Therefore, the customer can select a lottery ticket from the remaining 12 lottery options 55B.

[0038] Each lottery option 55B corresponds to one of a plurality of products included in that character series. The ticket issuing device 10 selects by lottery any of the product information included in the selected character series. In addition, the lottery screen 55 displays an "Open all at once" button 55C that allows the customer to automatically select all the lottery tickets purchased at once. When this button is tapped, the remaining number of lottery tickets purchased by the customer are automatically selected at random. In addition, the lottery screen 55 displays an item confirmation tab 55D that allows the customer to check the stock items for the TICKET lottery that the customer is purchasing.

[0039] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the stock confirmation screen 56 that is displayed when the item confirmation tab 55D is tapped. The stock confirmation screen 56 displays a product and stock list 56A that indicates the type of product (character) that can be acquired in the currently running lottery and the number of remaining products. Since the currently running lottery is a dinosaur lottery, the product and stock list 56A has the same content as the option 52A for the "dinosaur lottery" shown in FIG. 6. The product and stock list 56A is displayed, for example, on the lottery screen 55 shown in FIG. 9.

[0040] Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a prize acquisition screen 57 that is displayed when a lottery option 55B is selected on the lottery screen 55 of Fig. 9. The prize acquisition screen 57 displays an acquisition message 57A such as "GET!!" that notifies the user that a prize has been acquired through the lottery. The prize acquisition screen 57 also displays acquired product information 57B such as "Prize D: Dinosaur D Figure" that notifies the user of the first prize and the prize that has been won. Note that the prize acquisition screen 57 may display an image of the won product (Dinosaur D Figure) in addition to the first prize and the product name.

[0041] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing another product acquisition screen 58 that is displayed when the option 55B of the lottery is selected. The product acquisition screen 58 is an additional product acquisition screen that is displayed when the last option 55B is selected. For example, as described above, in a dinosaur lottery in which 20 lotteries are available, if the last (20th) lottery ticket is purchased and the option 55B is opened (selected), the prize and the product won for the option 55B of the 20th lottery are notified in the same manner as in the product acquisition screen 57 of FIG. 11, and then the product acquisition screen 58 is displayed to notify the customer that the last prize product prepared as a bonus product will be given to the customer. In the product acquisition screen 58, an acquisition message 58A such as "GET!!" that notifies the customer that a product has been won by the lottery is displayed in the same manner as in FIG. 11. In addition, the product acquisition screen 58 displays acquired product information 58B such as "Last Prize Dinosaur Z Figure" that notifies the customer of the prize and the product won. The prize winning screen 58 may display an image of the prize (Dinosaur Z figure) that has been won, in addition to the last prize and the product name.

[0042] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a receipt output screen 59 that is displayed when the selection of the lottery tickets for the number of purchases is completed. The receipt output screen 59 displays an acquired product message 59A such as "acquired product" to inform the customer that some products have been acquired. The receipt output screen 59 includes a product display field 59B that displays a list of the products that have been won. The product display field 59B displays the products that the customer has acquired in the lottery, such as one "D prize Dinosaur D figure", one "E prize Dinosaur key chain", two "G prize Dinosaur clear files", and one "Last one prize Dinosaur Z figure". The receipt output screen 59 also displays a print message 59C such as "A receipt will be printed. Please take the receipt to a product exchange store and exchange it for a product" to inform the customer that a receipt will be printed. The receipt is printed by the thermal printer 13. The prize selected by the lottery drawing is attached to the receipt. In this example, five receipts corresponding to each acquired product are printed. Additionally, in the product display section 59B, an image of each of the winning products may be displayed together with each receipt.

[0043] Next, a case where the "SKILL" button 51B is selected on the game selection screen 51 in Fig. 5 will be described below. When the "SKILL" button 51B is selected, the screen transitions to a "product selection screen 52", and when, for example, the option 52A of "dinosaur lottery" is selected on the product selection screen 52, the screen transitions to a "number of purchases selection screen 53", and when the "OK" button 53G is tapped on the number of purchases selection screen 53, the screen transitions to a "payment screen 54", which are the same as when the above-mentioned "TICKET" button 51A is selected.

[0044] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a game position determination screen 60 that is displayed when the "SKILL" button 51B is selected and the lottery settlement is completed. The game position determination screen 60 displays a guide message 60A such as "Select the game screen layout and press the "OK" button" to select the game screen when playing the game. The game position determination screen 60 also displays options 60B and 60C for the layout of the game screen. The option 60B is a screen layout in which the game screen is displayed on the upper side and the acquired item screen is displayed on the lower side. The option 60C is a screen layout in which the acquired item screen is displayed on the upper side and the game screen is displayed on the lower side. The option 60B is, for example, a game screen for short children. The game position determination screen 60 also displays an "OK" button 60D that is tapped after selecting the layout of the game screen to proceed to game play.

[0045] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a count-up screen 61, which is an example of a game screen. The count-up screen 61 displays a game operation message 61A explaining the game content, for example, "Tap the buttons 1 to 9 in order starting from 1!". The count-up screen 61 also displays a remaining time 61B, for example, "~ seconds remaining," indicating the time limit of the game. The count-up screen 61 is provided with a game area 61C for performing a tap operation. The count-up screen 61 is also provided with a product display section 61D displaying product information acquired in the game.

[0046] Each time a customer clears a game, a lottery is held for that game, and a product is selected in the lottery. When a product is selected in the lottery, the screen transitions to a product acquisition screen 57 shown in FIG. 11, for example, where information about the product acquired through selection is displayed. After one game is completed, if there are still purchased lottery tickets remaining, the screen transitions to the screen for the next game (another game of a different type). Furthermore, when the last game is completed, the screen transitions to the product acquisition screen 57, and then to an additional product acquisition screen 58 shown in FIG. 12. Then, when the number of games purchased is completed, the screen transitions to a receipt output screen 59 shown in FIG. 13.

[0047] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a concentration screen 62, which is another example of a game screen. The concentration screen 62 displays a game operation message 62A explaining the game content, for example, "Select cards with the same picture!". The concentration screen 62 also displays a remaining time 62B, for example, "~ seconds remaining," indicating the time limit for the game. The concentration screen 62 also has a game area 62C for performing a card selection operation. The concentration screen 62 also has a product display section 62D displaying product information acquired in the game.

[0048] When the "SKILL" button 51B is selected, the customer is allowed to play the same number of games as the selected number of lotteries. Also, any one of a plurality of types of games prepared in advance is presented to the customer. Also, any one of the plurality of types of games is randomly selected and presented. Also, it is configured such that the same type of game is not presented consecutively.

[0049] For example, the time from when the "TICKET" button 51A for the first lottery type lottery (drawing) is selected in Fig. 5 until the product information selected by the lottery is presented in Fig. 11 is set to time T1. Also, the time from when the "SKILL" button 51B for the second lottery type lottery (drawing) is selected in Fig. 5 until the product information selected by the lottery is presented in Fig. 11 is set to time T2. In this case, when comparing time T1 and time T2, time T2 when the second lottery type is selected is longer than time T1 when the first lottery type is selected by the time required for the customer to operate the game or by the time for presentation.

[0050] As described above, the ticket issuing device 10 of this embodiment can register multiple pieces of product information contained in a code read by the code scanner 14 on the main board 11, and issue a ticket with any product information selected from the multiple registered pieces of product information attached to the ticket. This allows a ticket issuing company to easily replenish product information to be provided to customers in the ticket issuing device 10 simply by having the code scanner 14 read the code, improving the convenience of the service provider. For example, by registering character series information in association with a code, multiple characters included in the character series can be registered as product information, improving the convenience of the service provider.

[0051] In addition, since the code scanner 14 is provided on the outer surface of the main body 10A of the ticket issuing device 10, the vendor can have the code scanner 14 read the code without opening the door 10B, which improves the convenience of the service provider.

[0052] Furthermore, the ticket issuing device 10 performs a lottery process for a product selected from the registered product information and issues a ticket, on the condition that the customer has made a payment through the payment terminal 16. This makes it possible to issue a ticket to an appropriate customer who has made a payment, with information on the product selected in the lottery attached, thereby improving convenience for the service provider.

[0053] Furthermore, the ticket issuing device 10 presents registered product information to the customer before payment is made by the payment terminal 16, and issues a ticket after presenting the customer with the selected product information and prizes as a result of the lottery-based lottery processing performed by the customer. This allows customers who purchase lottery tickets to easily understand the process from purchasing a lottery ticket at the ticket issuing device 10 to winning a product, thereby increasing the customer's interest in purchasing lottery tickets.

[0054] Furthermore, the ticket issuing device 10 is configured so that the printing unit of the thermal printer 13 can be accessed by the vendor by opening the door 10B, which is convenient for the service provider.

[0055] Furthermore, the ticket issuing device 10 issues tickets to customers as paper media that can be exchanged for real products, and the main unit 10A does not have a unit for providing real products related to the product information attached to the ticket.
