Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to scenery Prize providing device, prize providing system , Prize sales method and regarding giveaway programs. [Background technology]

[0002] There is provided a random type prize providing device that randomly selects and provides a specific prize by lottery from various prizes consisting of goods, contents, tickets, etc. A user of such a random type prize providing device can obtain the authority to enter the lottery by paying some kind of compensation or by watching an advertisement, etc. By entering a lottery based on this authority, the user can receive a prize specified by lottery from many goods, contents, and tickets, thereby enjoying the sense of anticipation of not knowing what prize he or she will win.

[0003] However, the prizes won are often not necessarily what the user wants, and if multiple drawings are held, the user may win the same prize multiple times. As a result, the user is forced to accept prizes that he or she does not want, which not only creates a waste of business but also dissatisfaction among the user, causing a decrease in the user's motivation to use the device.

[0004] Therefore, Patent Document 1 (JP 2018-051267 A) proposes a technology that can reduce the dissatisfaction felt by users in games that include a continuous lottery element in which a lump sum payment is made to play multiple consecutive lotteries, when the users obtain disappointing results in the continuous lottery element. In other words, this document proposes a program for causing a computer system to execute a given game, comprising: a continuous lottery element execution control means for executing a continuous lottery element once, which is a lottery element that selects a game medium usable within the game as a winning prize, and which automatically executes multiple consecutive lotteries in one activation to award the winning prize selected in each lottery to the player; exchange medium granting means for determining the type and / or number of exchange media (hereinafter collectively referred to as "exchange medium grant content") having different exchange benefits depending on the result of executing one of the continuous lottery elements, and granting the exchange medium according to the exchange medium grant content to the player separately from the awarding of the winning prize by the continuous lottery element; and exchange benefit granting means for granting the player an exchange benefit associated with the exchange medium in exchange for consumption of the exchange medium based on the player's operation.

[0005] In addition, Patent Document 2 (JP 2014-64886 A) proposes a social game in which, in light of the lack of liquidity of gacha rights in current social games, a virtual user other than the virtual user who acquired the gacha right can exercise the gacha right on behalf of the virtual user. That is, the system has an acquisition right granting unit that grants a gacha right to a first virtual user operated by a first real user, a proxy gacha right generating unit that generates a proxy gacha right, a proxy gacha right granting unit that grants the proxy gacha right to a second virtual user operated by a second real user, a proxy gacha right exercising unit that executes the exercise of the proxy gacha right by the second virtual user, and a card granting unit that grants a card to the first virtual user based on the gacha right exercised by the proxy gacha right, so that even if it is difficult for the first real user to operate the first virtual user from his / her own terminal to exercise the gacha right, the first real user can grant the proxy gacha right to the second virtual user and have the second virtual user exercise the proxy gacha right, thereby indirectly exercising the gacha right to acquire a card.

[0022] Hereinafter, the random type prize providing device 20 according to the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. In particular, this embodiment shows a specific example of a random type prize providing device 20 that is configured to hold a lottery in which various items are won and to allow the won prize (item) to be exchanged for points (alternative benefit), and a random type prize providing system 60 constructed using this device.

[0023] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a random prize provision system 60 in this embodiment, Figure 2 is a sequence diagram showing the prize or point awarding process in the random prize provision device 20, Figure 3 is an example of the user master configuration, Figure 4 is an example of the prize master configuration, Figure 5 is an example of the management table configuration, Figure 6 is a display screen for lottery result information on a user terminal 10, Figure 7 is a hardware configuration diagram of an example of the random prize provision device 20, and Figure 8 is a processing block configuration diagram of an example of the random prize provision device 20.

[0024] First, the overall configuration of a random prize providing system 60 configured using a random prize providing device 20 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. The random prize providing system 60 according to this embodiment comprises the random prize providing device 20, a user terminal (or user terminal) 10, and a point conversion device 30, and may further include an electronic commerce device (i.e., a prize transfer device) 40, another user terminal 10, and a prize manufacturer terminal 50.

[0025] The user terminal 10 can be configured as a computer including a smartphone or a tablet PC, and is configured to transmit a lottery request to win a prize to the random prize providing device 20 via a network such as the Internet, obtain lottery result information on the prize won in the lottery, and transmit a transfer request (i.e., transfer request information) when transferring the prize won, or an exchange request (i.e., exchange request information) requesting that the prize won be exchanged for an alternative benefit such as points. The user terminal 10 is also configured to transmit a point request to exchange the prize won for an alternative benefit such as points to the point conversion device 30 via a network such as the Internet, and to receive point grant information granted accordingly. The information processing of the user terminal 10 can be performed via a browser provided in the user terminal 10, or can be executed by installing software on the user terminal 10 side.

[0026] The random prize providing device 20 can be configured with a computer including a smartphone or tablet PC like the user terminal 10, but it is preferable to configure it using a computer with high information processing capabilities in terms of the amount of information to be processed. The random prize providing device 20 executes the above-mentioned processing with the user terminal 10, executes a lottery processing in response to the lottery request, and further executes a process of extracting a substitute benefit that can be substituted for the prize won by the lottery. Then, in response to an exchange request from the user terminal 10, it transmits a point request to the point conversion device 30. As a result, the point conversion device 30 can receive point requests from the user terminal 10 and the random prize providing device 20, and can perform authenticity judgment by checking the consistency between the two. This ensures the objectivity of the points that have monetary value like electronic money, and ensures the safety of commercial transactions.

[0027] Furthermore, when the random-type prize providing device 20 acquires exchange request information for transferring the prize to a third party from the user terminal 10, it can transmit prize sales information to another electronic commerce device 40 in order to sell the prize. Such an electronic commerce device 40 may be of any type as long as it is a device that performs commercial transactions of goods, contents, tickets, etc. via a network such as the Internet, and may be a device that executes Internet auctions. When the prize is sold by the electronic commerce device 40, the price can be returned to the user in cash, or can be returned to the user in the form of points (alternative benefits) via the point conversion device 30.

[0028] In addition, the random type prize providing device 20 may be configured to, when it acquires transfer request information from the user terminal 10, transfer the right to acquire the prize won by the lottery to another user using the random type prize providing device 20. In this case. The random type prize providing device 20 can acquire request information from another user that he / she wants to acquire a specific prize in advance and store it. That is, a transfer request table or the like that associates user information with desired prize information is provided in a storage device, and it can match this upon receiving exchange request information from the user terminal 10. At this time, the matching priority can be matched in order of the highest desired transfer price or points, or in order of the oldest date, or randomly. And when the right to acquire the prize won by the lottery is transferred to another user, the other user terminal 10 can send a point request to the point conversion device 30 to grant points to the user who transferred the right as compensation for the transfer.

[0029] Furthermore, if a transfer request table is provided in the storage device as described above, when a prize recorded in the transfer request table is won as a result of the lottery by the random prize provision device 20, a selection item can be provided in the lottery result information to indicate that another user wants the won prize, and to request the process of transferring the prize to that other user.

[0030] The point conversion device 30 is a device for managing the granting and use of points that have monetary value similar to electronic money, and can be formed using a computer. The point conversion device 30 manages the points granted in response to a request to exchange the prize won, in association with user information, and transmits history information of the points to the user terminal 10, and preferably also transmits the history information to the random prize provision device 20. When the points granted to the user (or the user terminal 10) are used at other affiliated stores (including real stores and virtual stores) not shown, the point conversion device 30 receives the usage information and subtracts the points granted to the user (or the user terminal 10).

[0031] As described above, by the user terminal 10, the random prize providing device 20, and the point conversion device 30 working together, even if a prize that is not intended for the user is extracted, this can be converted into versatile points, thereby eliminating user dissatisfaction.

[0032] By setting an exchange deadline (i.e., exchange deadline information) when exchanging the prizes for points, the number of prizes required is determined when the deadline passes, and by placing an order for the final determined number of prizes with the prize manufacturer (prize manufacturer terminal 50), there is no need to manufacture prizes that users do not want, thereby eliminating waste of resources, manufacturing costs, and distribution costs. For this reason, it is also desirable for the random prize provision device 20 of this embodiment to be equipped with a prize quantity calculation unit that calculates the quantity of each prize selected by the lottery unit that has not been exchanged for an alternative benefit. Such a prize quantity calculation unit can perform calculations from the registration information in the management table described below.

[0033] 2 is a sequence diagram showing the process flow of the user terminal 10, the random prize providing device 20, and the point conversion device 30. As shown in this figure, the process of providing the prize or granting the points is started by outputting a lottery request from the user terminal 10 to the random prize providing device 20 (S11). That is, the lottery is started by a lottery request acquisition step of acquiring a lottery request from the user terminal. Such a lottery request can be made, for example, by sending a lottery execution command from the browser of the user terminal 10 to the random prize providing device 20 via the Internet. At this time, it is desirable that the random prize providing device 20 acquires user identification information for identifying the user (or the user terminal 10) together with the lottery request in order to identify the person who will receive the prize selected by the lottery.

[0034] Such user identification information can be obtained by logging in using an ID and password, or by acquiring the device ID of the user terminal 10. Then, the random prize provision device 20 that has acquired the user identification information desirably stores a user master consisting of items such as those shown in Fig. 3 in a storage device in order to authenticate the user (or the user terminal 10). Such a user master can include at least any of, for example, a user ID, nickname, name, email address, address, and telephone number, but can also include any information necessary to identify the user, without being limited to these.

[0035] Then, the random prize providing device 20, which receives the above-mentioned lottery request, starts the lottery process (i.e., lottery step S12) by executing a lottery program, and randomly selects one or more prizes from among the multiple prizes (including at least one of goods, content, and tickets) (S13).

[0036] In particular, in the random-type prize provision device 20 according to this embodiment, if a user does not want the prize won by lottery, an alternative prize ("points" in the drawing) that can be selected alternatively to the prize won by lottery is extracted (S14) so ​​that the prize can be exchanged for an alternative prize (including at least one of an item, content, ticket, point, and electronic money different from the prize selected by the lottery section). This extraction of an alternative prize can be executed as an alternative prize extraction step that extracts an alternative prize that can be selected alternatively from the prize selected by the lottery section and includes at least one of an item, content, ticket, point, and electronic money different from the prize selected by the lottery section. When extracting such an alternative prize, for example, a prize master consisting of items such as those shown in FIG. 4 is stored in a storage device, and the alternative prize can be extracted by referring to / searching the prize master. Such a prize master can include at least one of, for example, a prize ID, a prize name, a quantity, points (alternative benefit), and an exchange deadline, but is not limited to these and can include information necessary to identify an alternative benefit (and preferably an exchange deadline) linked to the prize. By using such a prize master, it is possible to manage the number of prizes that can be distributed, the points (alternative benefit) to be given in place of the prize, and the exchange deadline, and further to extract this information using the prize ID or prize name as a search key.

[0037] The prize information and substitute benefit information identified in the above manner are stored as lottery result information in a management table provided in the storage device of the random prize provision device 20 (S15), and are also output to the user terminal 10 (i.e., lottery result output step). Such a management table can be formed, for example, with the items shown in FIG. 5. That is, it can be composed of a unique lottery ID, lottery time, prize ID, and user ID that are assigned each time the random prize provision device 20 executes a lottery, and can further include a point exchange item that is turned ON when a prize exchange request, which will be described later, is acquired. However, this management table can also include other items as long as it records the contents of the executed lottery.

[0038] When the user terminal 10 acquires the lottery result information (S16), the user terminal 10 displays the information on the screen and can output a request for converting the prize that the user won into points (alternative reward) (S17). FIG. 6 shows a display screen of the lottery result information on the user terminal 10. As shown in this figure, the lottery result information can display a display field 21 for the prize won in the lottery, a display field 22 for the number of points that can be acquired when the prize is exchanged for points (alternative reward), and a display field 23 for the exchange deadline. If the user wishes to exchange the prize, a selection button 24 for outputting an exchange request to the random prize providing device 20 can be displayed. In particular, the display screen shown in this embodiment further includes a transfer button 25 for instructing the random prize providing device 20 to perform a transfer process when the prize is transferred to another user or transferred in the electronic commerce device 40. The transfer button 25 can function as transfer selection information for selecting a transfer request for the prize selected by the lottery unit in the lottery result information. The display screen has an acquired prizes section 26 for displaying a list of prizes that have been acquired so far, and an owned points section 27 for displaying points that are currently owned. The acquired prizes section 26 can be configured by displaying a list of prizes associated with the user in the management master, and the owned points can be displayed by the points. strange This can be implemented by having the random prize providing device 20 acquire and store the point status output from the exchange device, and outputting this to the user terminal 10.

[0039] When the "Exchange" button is selected in the lottery result information displayed on the user terminal 10, an exchange request is output to the random prize providing device 20 to instruct the random prize providing device 20 to perform the prize exchange process (S18). When the random prize providing device 20 receives this exchange request (S19), it converts it into points. strange The result is output to the point exchange device (S20), and is also recorded and stored in the management table of the storage device (S21). That is, a check is input in the points column of the point exchange item in the management table.

[0040] In addition, when the user selects the "Exchange" button on the user terminal 10, an exchange request is output to the random prize providing device 20, and at the same time, points are strange The exchange request is also output to the exchange device. strange The exchange device acquires an exchange request output from the random prize providing device 20 (S22) and also acquires an exchange request output from the user terminal 10 (S23). By comparing and collating the two pieces of exchange request information (S24), it is possible to determine the authenticity of the points granted to the user (or the user terminal 10), thereby ensuring the safety of commercial transactions. If the two are matched in this exchange request collation process (S25), the specified points can be granted to the user (or the user terminal 10) (S26), and the user (or the user terminal 10) can acquire them (S27). On the other hand, if the two are not matched as a result of the exchange request collation, error information is output to the user terminal 10 and / or the random prize providing device 20 (S28, S29).

[0041] On the other hand, if the user does not request to convert the prize he / she won into points (alternative benefit) on the screen display of the lottery result information on the user terminal 10, i.e., if the "Exchange" button is not selected or executed, the prize is finalized when the exchange deadline has elapsed, and the random prize provision device 20 executes the prize provision process (S30). Specifically, the number of prizes won for each specific prize is tallied, and the production or delivery process is executed based on this. As a result, the user can obtain the prize won by lottery (S31).

[0042] By the above process, if the user of the random prize providing device 20 wants the prize he or she has won, he or she can get it as is, and if he or she does not want it, he or she can exchange it for versatile points (alternative benefit), which can largely eliminate dissatisfaction with random prize provision. Also, the provider of the prize can reduce the cost of producing and shipping the prize in exchange for giving points (alternative benefit), and further can eliminate the waste of resources caused by the production of useless prizes.

[0043] 7 is a hardware configuration diagram showing an example of a random type prize providing device 20. The random type prize providing device 20 has an input device 11, an output device 12, a drive device 13, an auxiliary storage device 14, a main storage device 15, an arithmetic processing device 16, and an interface device 17, which are all connected to each other via a bus B.

[0045] The program that executes the processing of the random prize providing device 20 of this embodiment is at least a part of various programs that control the random prize providing device 20. For example, a program that executes a lottery is provided, for example, by distributing a recording medium 18 or by downloading from a network. The recording medium 18 that records such a program can be of various types, including recording media that record information optically, electrically, or magnetically, such as CD-ROMs, flexible disks, and magneto-optical disks, and semiconductor memories that record information electrically, such as ROMs and flash memories.

[0046] Programs for executing various processes, such as a program for executing a lottery, are installed in the auxiliary storage device 14. The auxiliary storage device 14 stores the installed programs, as well as necessary files, data, and the like.

[0047] At the start of the above-mentioned lottery and point (alternative benefit) extraction processing, the main memory device 15 reads out and stores a program that defines the processing from the auxiliary memory device 14. Then, the arithmetic processing device 16 realizes various processes according to the program stored in the main memory device 15.

[0048] FIG. 8 is an example of a processing block diagram of the random prize providing device 20. The random prize providing device 20 shown in FIG. 8 is realized by executing a program for performing the above-mentioned processing in the random prize providing device 20 of FIG. 1.
