Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device. [Background technology]

[0002] In judged individual or team competitions, such as rhythmic gymnastics, where multiple judges determine numerical data to evaluate the competition from multiple perspectives and scores are calculated based on that numerical data, the scores are calculated as follows: That is, a number of lower-ranking referees are provided with notebook or tablet personal computers as terminals for inputting numerical data, and these terminals are connected to a single host computer via a communication line. This host computer is operated by a higher-ranking judge, different from the plurality of lower-ranking judges described above. In this specification, the higher-ranking judge includes the chief judge. Each judge inputs numerical data into a plurality of terminals for each competition, and each numerical data is transmitted to a host computer via a communication line. The host computer executes a calculation program, thereby realizing the function of accepting the numerical data entered by each judge and calculating the score based on that numerical data. In this case, the display screen of the host computer's display device displays a list of the referee's identification information and the numerical data entered by the referee, and adds and subtracts points based on the numerical data, and then calculates and displays the total score based on the adds and subtractions. Although Patent Document 1 discloses technology for displaying scores in competitive sports such as basketball and judo, it does not disclose how to calculate scores in individual or team judged competitions where points are awarded by multiple judges.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-81616 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In men's rhythmic gymnastics, the standard judging system is four lower-ranking judges who score the composition score, four lower-ranking judges who score the execution score, and a higher-ranking judge who is separate from the lower-ranking judges (although in reality there are several other lower-ranking judges who deduct points). In this case, there is no problem if the first point difference, obtained by subtracting the lowest score from the highest component score (or execution score), is within the predetermined first tolerance; however, if the first point difference exceeds the first tolerance, for example, a higher-ranking judge will urge the lower-ranking judge who scored the lowest score (or highest score) to revise the score so that the first point difference is within the first tolerance. Furthermore, the remaining points, excluding the highest and lowest points, from the component points (or execution points) awarded by multiple lower-ranking judges are considered to be the valid points, and there is no problem if the second point difference, obtained by subtracting the lowest point from the highest of those valid points, is within the predetermined second tolerance. However, if the second point difference exceeds the second tolerance, for example, a higher-ranking judge will urge the lower-ranking judge who awarded the lowest point (or highest point) to revise his / her score so that the second point difference is within the second tolerance. After such corrections, the highest and lowest valid scores from the valid scores given by the multiple lower-ranking judges are subtracted and the average of the remaining valid scores is determined as the official score. Such corrections to scores take time because the higher-ranking judges must communicate with the lower-ranking judges to confirm the scores and give instructions for corrections. In this specification, a senior umpire includes, for example, a person not qualified to assist an umpire or a chief umpire. In a typical competition, if such score adjustments are made for each competition involving dozens or hundreds of athletes, and if each score adjustment takes one minute, this would result in a loss of time in the order of an hour, causing the competition to be extended, and some kind of improvement is required. The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an information processing device and program that are advantageous in shortening the time required to correct scores in judged competitions such as rhythmic gymnastics. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an information processing device used by a higher-ranking referee who is different from a plurality of lower-ranking referees in a judged competition in which numerical data evaluating the content of a competition from a plurality of perspectives is determined by the plurality of lower-ranking referees, the information processing device comprising: an input device that accepts operations from the higher-ranking referee; an acquisition unit that acquires the numerical data transmitted from a plurality of terminals operated by each of the plurality of lower-ranking referees as a plurality of corresponding numerical data corresponding to a plurality of identification information that identifies the plurality of lower-ranking referees; a display unit that associates the plurality of identification information with the plurality of corresponding numerical data and displays them in a list on a display device; a first display control unit that displays a first point difference, obtained by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score of the plurality of corresponding numerical data, on the display device; a third display control unit that changes the corresponding numerical data through operation of the input device and displays it on the display device; and a calculation unit that calculates a score based on the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device. The present invention is a program executed on an information processing device, wherein the information processing device is an information processing device handled by a higher-ranking referee different from a plurality of lower-ranking referees in a judged competition in which numerical data evaluating the content of the competition from multiple perspectives is determined by the plurality of lower-ranking referees, and the information processing device functions as an acquisition unit that acquires the numerical data transmitted from multiple terminals operated by each of the plurality of lower-ranking referees as multiple corresponding numerical data corresponding to multiple identification information that identifies the plurality of lower-ranking referees, a display unit that associates the multiple identification information with the multiple corresponding numerical data and displays them in a list on a display device, a first display control unit that displays a first point difference obtained by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score of the multiple corresponding numerical data on the display device, a third display control unit that changes the corresponding numerical data by operating an input device of the information processing device and displays it on the display device, and a calculation unit that calculates a score based on the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] According to the present invention, when a higher-ranking umpire (including the chief umpire) determines that the corresponding numerical data needs to be corrected based on the first point difference displayed on the display device, the higher-ranking umpire can change the corresponding numerical data by operating the input device of the information processing device, so that the corresponding numerical data can be corrected immediately. Therefore, when correcting the corresponding numerical data, the higher-ranking judges do not have to converse with the lower-ranking judges to confirm the scoring details and give instructions for corrections, which reduces the time required to correct the corresponding numerical data and is advantageous in terms of making the management of the competition more efficient.

[0008] An information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the judged event for calculating the score is men's rhythmic gymnastics.

[0009] First, the scoring rules for men's rhythmic gymnastics will be explained. In this specification, the scoring rules are described in simplified form for the sake of simplicity. Therefore, in the following description, there are some parts that differ from the scoring rules that are actually used, and some parts that have been omitted. In men's rhythmic gymnastics, the judges are classified as follows, for example: The abbreviations for each judge listed in Figures 1 and 3 are listed in parentheses (). (1) The judges (4 in total) who will score the composition points (points related to the performance composition) and the chief referee (1) The composition score will be the average of the remaining scores, excluding the highest and lowest scores, from the scores given by the four judges (structure 1) to (structure 4). The referee (Kakusana) will give the marks, but the marks will be used as a reference and will not be reflected in the actual marks. Also, the referee may be omitted. (2) Judges (4 people in total) and Chief Judge (1 person) who will score the performance score (scores on the performance) The performance score will be the average of the remaining scores, excluding the highest and lowest scores, from the scores given by the four judges (Practical 1) to (Practical 4). The referee (jis(kai)) will give the marks, but the marks will be used as a reference and will not be reflected in the actual marks. Also, the referee may be omitted. (3) Accounting auditor (2 people) Two judges (Judge 1 and Judge 2) will measure the time by which the competitor's performance exceeds the allotted time, and the excess time (in seconds) will be multiplied by a coefficient (for example, 0.05) to determine the deduction points. (4) Line referees (2 people) Two line judges (Line 1, Line 2) count the number of times the athlete or apparatus deviates from the designated lines on the rectangular competition area, and the total is multiplied by a coefficient (for example, 0.3) to determine the deduction. The total score of the competitor shall be the sum of the above (1) composition score and (2) execution score minus the sum of the deductions from the (3) design judge and (4) line judge. In addition, deductions other than those made by the (3) Planning Judge and (4) Linesman Judge, such as those made when the number of athletes in a team event is less than the regulations, are called corrections, and for example, a higher-ranking judge will decide the deductions based on the regulations. In addition to the judges mentioned above (hereinafter referred to as lower-ranking judges), one chief judge and one judge (coordinator judge) who operates the information processing device 10 of the present invention as a higher-ranking judge are also involved in the scoring. The number of judges for the above-mentioned composition points and execution points is not fixed, but can be changed within a range of, for example, 2 to 5 people.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 1, a score calculation system 10 for calculating and displaying scores is installed at the competition venue. The score tabulation system 10 includes a plurality of terminals 12 installed at each judge's place, and an information processing device (host computer) 14 according to this embodiment. In Figure 1, each terminal 12 is marked with identification information to identify the type of referee, which will be described later: "Structure 1 to Structure 4," "Structure (Referee)," "Practice 1 to Practice 4," "Practice (Referee)," "Total 1," "Total 2," "Line 1," "Line 2," and "Correction."

[0011] The terminal 12 is installed for each referee and consists of a notebook personal computer, a tablet personal computer, a desktop personal computer, or a dedicated input device, and is communicatively connected to the information processing device 14 via a communication line 16 such as a LAN. The terminal 12 includes a keyboard for inputting numerical data, a display unit for displaying the input numerical data, a communication unit for transmitting the numerical data to the communication line 16, and the like. The numerical data input by the terminal 12 is determined based on the scoring rules described above, and there are the following types of numerical data. (1) Numerical data indicating the scores entered by the four judges (Composition 1 to Composition 4) who score the composition points. (2) Numerical data indicating the scores entered by the four judges (Jitsu 1 to Jitsu 4) who will be scoring the execution scores. (3) Numerical data indicating the performance time entered by two judges (Total 1, Total 2). (4) Numerical data showing the result of multiplying the total number of times an athlete or apparatus deviates from the designated lines of the rectangular competition area entered by two line judges (Line 1, Line 2) by a coefficient (e.g., 0.3). (5) Numerical data called correction, which indicates the deduction points entered by the higher-ranking judge. In Fig. 1, a terminal 12 (correction) is shown for inputting the numerical data called correction, but this terminal 12 is not necessarily required. As will be described later, the higher-ranking judge may input the numerical data called correction by operating an information processing device 14. There is also numerical data entered by the referee (Kansai-i) and the referee (Jitsu-i) but this is not reflected in the final score and will not be explained below.

[0012] The information processing device 14 is configured as a notebook personal computer, a tablet personal computer, or a desktop personal computer. In this embodiment, the information processing device 14 is operated by a higher-ranking judge called the coordinator judge described above. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 14 includes a CPU 18, a ROM 20, a RAM 22, a hard disk drive 24, a display device 26, an input device 28, a communication unit 30, an interface 32, and the like, which are connected via a bus line. The ROM 20 stores and memorizes various types of data. The RAM 22 provides a working area for the CPU 18 . The hard disk drive 24 stores the programs executed by the CPU 18 .

[0013] The display device 26 displays characters and images, and is configured as a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display device. The input device 28 receives input operations from a higher-ranking judge (in this embodiment, the coordinator judge), and is composed of a keyboard and a mouse. The input device 28 may be composed of a touch panel provided on the display surface of the display device 26, and various conventionally known input devices with various configurations can be used as the input device 28. The communication unit 30 communicates with each terminal 12 via the communication line 16 . The interface 32 is used to interface with an external device such as a printer.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the CPU 18 executes the above program to realize an acquisition unit 18A, a calculation unit 18B, a display unit 18C, a first display control unit 18D, a second display control unit 18E, and a third display control unit 18F.

[0015] The acquisition unit 18A acquires the numerical data transmitted from the terminals 12 operated by the respective umpires as corresponding numerical data associated with a plurality of pieces of identification information for identifying the respective umpires. The calculation unit 18B calculates the score based on the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device 26, and its operation will be described later. As shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 18C displays a list of multiple identification information items and multiple corresponding numerical data items on the display screen of the display device 26, and also displays various scores (deductions) calculated by the calculation unit 18B.

[0016] The display screen of the display device 26 will be described with reference to FIG. Symbol C1 is a judge display column that displays the identification information of the judge who will be scoring, and as mentioned above, the judge display column C1 displays ``Kai (Referee),'' ``Kai 1 to Kai 4,'' ``Ji (Referee),'' and ``Ji 1 to Ji 4'' as identification information indicating the judge. Reference symbol C2 denotes a first numeric data display field in which the corresponding numeric data (scores) input by each judge via the terminal 12 are displayed.

[0017] The increase / decrease button SB is provided adjacent to the first numerical data display field C2 and is a button that is operated, for example, by clicking the input device 28, to increase or decrease the corresponding numerical data (score) displayed in the first numerical data display field C2 in predetermined units of points. Here, an upward-pointing triangular button indicates a button for increasing the score, and a downward-pointing triangular button indicates a button for decreasing the score. The predetermined point unit is, for example, a numerical value such as 0.1 point or 0.01 point, and is determined in advance for each competition. Instead of providing the increase / decrease button SB, the corresponding numerical data (score) displayed in the first numerical data display field C2 may be increased or decreased in predetermined units of points by rotating the wheel of the input device 28 (mouse).

[0018] The check boxes CB correspond to the identification information, and in this embodiment, the check boxes CB are displayed at locations corresponding to the respective identification information. The input device 28 (mouse) is used to position the pointer within the check box CB, and clicking the check box CB enters a check mark, and clicking the check box again cancels the check mark. When a check mark is entered in the check box CB, it indicates that a referee with the identification information corresponding to that check box CB is present, and when a check mark is not entered in the check box CB, it indicates that the referee with the identification information corresponding to that check box CB is absent. The input in the first numeric data display field C2 corresponding to the referee for whom the check box CB is filled in is validated, and the input in the first numeric data display field C2 corresponding to the referee for whom the check box CB is not filled in is invalidated, and the first numeric data display field C2 becomes non-functional. Such a function using check boxes is realized by the CPU 18 executing the above program.

[0019] In addition, in this example, the number of four referees, namely, Consultant 1, Consultant 2, Linesman 1, and Linesman 2, is fixed, and vacancies are permitted for Referees (Construction 2-4) and Referees (Practice 2-4), so check boxes CB are provided corresponding to the referees for whom vacancies are permitted. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the number of referees and the number of vacancies allowed are not limited to this embodiment, and therefore the number and positions of the check boxes CB are not limited.

[0020] In addition, it is optional to make the display state of the entire display area of invalid corresponding numerical data and the identification information corresponding to that corresponding numerical data different from the display state of the display area of valid corresponding numerical data and the identification information corresponding to that corresponding numerical data. For example, the first numerical data display column C2 and the referee display column C1, which are the display areas for the invalid corresponding numerical data and the identification information corresponding to that corresponding numerical data, can be displayed in gray out, inverted with the background color of the screen, or displayed in a lighter color different from the background color of the screen to indicate that the data is invalid, which is advantageous in clearly displaying that the corresponding numerical data of the absent referee is invalid.

[0021] Symbol C3 indicates the first point difference display field for the constituent points, which displays the first point difference of the constituent points, which is the highest point of the constituent points minus the lowest point of the constituent points. In Figure 3, "Highest point - lowest point" is displayed above the first point difference display field C3. Reference symbol C4 indicates a first tolerance display field for the construction points, which displays the first tolerance of the construction points that is allowed as the first point difference of the construction points. The first tolerance of the construction points is set in advance for each competition, for example. In FIG. 3, "Tolerance" is displayed above the first tolerance display field C4 for the construction points. Reference symbol C5 indicates a second point difference display field for the constituent points, in which the second point difference of the constituent points, calculated by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score of the multiple valid points, is displayed as the effective point spread when the remaining corresponding numerical data (scores) of the constituent points excluding the highest and lowest scores are taken as the effective point spread. In Figure 3, "effective point spread" is displayed above the second point difference display field C5 for the constituent points. Reference symbol C6 indicates a second tolerance display field in which the second tolerance of the construction points, which is allowed as the second point difference of the construction points, is displayed. The second tolerance of the construction points is set in advance for each competition, for example. In FIG. 3, "Tolerance" is displayed above the second tolerance display field C6 of the construction points. Reference symbol C7 indicates a decision point display field for the constituent points, in which the average value of the remaining valid points, excluding the highest and lowest points, is displayed as the decision point for the constituent points. In Figure 3, the word "decision point" is displayed above the decision point display field C7 for the constituent points.

[0022] Reference symbol C8 indicates the first point difference display field for the execution point, which displays the first point difference of the execution point, which is the highest point minus the lowest point of the execution point. In Figure 3, "Highest point - lowest point" is displayed above the first point difference display field C8 for the execution point. Reference symbol C9 indicates a first tolerance display field for the execution point, which displays the first tolerance of the execution point that is allowed as the first point difference of the execution point. The first tolerance of the execution point is set in advance for each competition, for example. In FIG. 3, "Tolerance" is displayed above the first tolerance display field C9 for the execution point. Reference symbol C10 indicates a second point difference display field for the execution points, in which the second point difference of the execution points, calculated by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score of the multiple valid points, is displayed as the effective point spread when the remaining corresponding numerical data (scores) of the execution points, excluding the highest and lowest scores, are taken as the effective point. In Figure 3, "effective point spread" is displayed above the second point difference display field C10 for the execution points. Reference symbol C11 indicates a second tolerance display field in which the second tolerance allowed as the second point difference of the execution point is displayed. The second tolerance of the execution point is set in advance for each competition, for example. In FIG. 3, "Tolerance" is displayed above the second tolerance display field C11 of the execution point. The symbol C12 indicates a decision point display field for the implementation point, in which the average value of the remaining valid points, excluding the highest and lowest points, is displayed as the decision point for the implementation point. In Figure 3, "Decision Point" is displayed above the decision point display field C12 for the implementation point. Reference symbol C13 denotes a score total display field that displays the sum of the decision points of the construction points and the decision points of the execution points as the score total. In Fig. 3, "Score Total" is displayed on the left side of the score total display field C13.

[0023] Symbol C14 is a referee display column that displays the line judges and referees, and as mentioned above, the referee display column C14 displays ``Line 1,'' ``Line 2,'' ``Total 1,'' and ``Total 2'' as identification information indicating the referees. Reference symbol C15 indicates a second numeric data display field in which corresponding numeric data, in this case the competition time, which is input by the first and second planners via the terminal 12 and associated with the identification information, is displayed. Symbol C16 indicates the first deduction display field, which displays the deduction obtained by multiplying the excess time (seconds) by 0.05 points when the competition time displayed in the second numerical data display field C15 exceeds the specified performance time. Reference symbol C17 denotes a second deduction display field in which the corresponding numerical data entered by lines judges 1 and 2 via terminal 12 and associated with the identification information is displayed as deduction points. Specifically, the second deduction display field C17 displays the result of multiplying the total number of times the athlete or apparatus deviates from the specified line by a coefficient (e.g., 0.3). Instead of inputting the result (deduction points) of multiplying the above number of times by a coefficient into terminal 12, the sum of the above number of times may be input into terminal 12, and the result of multiplying that sum by a coefficient (for example, 0.3) may be displayed as the deduction points. In this case, a third numerical data display field is provided for inputting the total number of times, similar to code C15, and the result obtained by multiplying the total number of times by a coefficient by calculation unit 18B is displayed in second display field C17 as a deduction point. Symbol C18 indicates a third deduction display column in which other deductions, called corrections as mentioned above, are input by a senior judge operating the terminal 12 (correction), or are input and displayed by a senior judge operating the input device 28 of the information processing device 14. Reference symbol C19 denotes a deduction total display field that displays the total deduction points obtained by adding up the deduction points displayed in the first, second, and third deduction point display fields C16, C17, and C18. In FIG. 3, "Deduction Total" is displayed on the left side of the deduction total display field C19. Reference symbol C20 indicates a total score display field that displays the total score obtained by subtracting the deduction points displayed in the deduction point total display field C19 from the score displayed in the score total display field C13. In Figure 3, "Total Score" is displayed above the deduction point total display field C20.

[0024] The calculation unit 18B calculates the scores (scores, deductions) to be displayed in the first point difference display column C3 for component points, the second point difference display column C5 for component points, the decision point display column C7 for component points, the first point difference display column C8 for implementation points, the second point difference display column C10 for implementation points, the decision point display column C12 for implementation points, the total score display column C13, the first deduction point display column C16, the second deduction point display column C17, the total deduction point display column C19, and the total score display column C20. In other words, the calculation unit 18B calculates the score (score, deduction) based on the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device 26, i.e., based on the corresponding numerical data displayed in the first numerical data display field C2, the second numerical data display field C15, the second deduction display field C17, and the third deduction display field C18. In addition, the first tolerance display field C4 for the construction point, the second tolerance display field C6 for the construction point, the first tolerance display field C9 for the implementation point, and the second tolerance display field C11 for the implementation point display a preset score, and the second numerical data display field C15, the second deduction display field C17, and the third deduction display field C18 display the score (deduction) entered via the terminal 12.

[0025] The first display control unit 18D displays on the display device 26 the first point difference calculated by the calculation unit 18B for each of the construction points and execution points, which is obtained by subtracting the lowest point from the highest point of the multiple corresponding numerical data. In addition, in this embodiment, the first display control unit 18D displays on the display device 26 the first point difference and the first allowable difference that is allowable as the first point difference for each of the construction point and the implementation point. In addition, in this embodiment, when the first point difference exceeds the first tolerance (first point difference > first tolerance), the display format of the first point difference displayed on display device 26 is different from when the first point difference is within the first tolerance (first point difference ≦ first tolerance), thereby providing a visual warning to higher-ranking judges so that they do not overlook the fact that the first point difference has exceeded the first tolerance. For example, if the first point difference is within the first tolerance (first point difference ≦ first tolerance), the text color for the first point difference is displayed in white, and if the first point difference exceeds the first tolerance (first point difference > first tolerance), the text color for the first point difference is displayed in red. Such changes in the display mode are not limited to changes in the character color, but may include reversing the character color of the first point difference and the background color, shading the first point difference in a specific color, flashing the first point difference, etc. Furthermore, these changes in the display mode may be combined.

[0026] The second display control unit 18E displays on the display device 26 the second point difference calculated by the calculation unit 18B, which is obtained by subtracting the lowest point from the highest point of the multiple valid points, when the remaining multiple corresponding numerical data excluding the highest point and the lowest point among the multiple corresponding numerical data for each of the configuration points and the implementation points is set as the valid points. In addition, in this embodiment, the second display control unit 18E displays the second point difference and the second allowable difference that is allowed as the second point difference for each of the construction point and the implementation point on the display device 26. In addition, in this embodiment, when the second point difference exceeds the second tolerance (second point difference > second tolerance), the display format of the second point difference displayed on display device 26 is different from when the second point difference is within the second tolerance (second point difference ≦ second tolerance), thereby providing a visual alert to higher-ranked judges so that they do not overlook the fact that the second point difference has exceeded the second tolerance. A specific example of the change in the display mode is the same as in the case of the first point difference described above, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0027] The third display control unit 18F changes the corresponding numerical data through operation of the input device 28 by the higher-ranking referee, in other words, overwrites (updates) the original corresponding numerical data with the new corresponding numerical data and displays it on the display device 26. In this embodiment, the third display control unit 18F displays increase / decrease buttons SB for adding and subtracting numerical values near the plurality of corresponding numerical data displayed on the display screen of the display device 26, and the corresponding numerical data is changed by operating the increase / decrease buttons SB through the operation of the input device 28, thereby increasing or decreasing the plurality of corresponding numerical data.

[0028] In addition, the third display control unit 18F has a function of updating and displaying new corresponding numerical data corresponding to the corresponding numerical data when the corresponding numerical data is displayed on the display device 26 and new corresponding numerical data corresponding to the corresponding numerical data is acquired by the acquisition unit 18A. For example, if a lower-ranking judge operates terminal 12 to input a score of 4 points, then realizes the error and re-inputs a score of 3 points, acquisition unit 18A acquires the new corresponding numerical data, a score of 3 points, and third display control unit 18F updates (overwrites) the display in first numerical data display column C2 from "4" to "3." When the corresponding numerical data is updated, the calculation operation by the calculation unit 18B is also executed again, and the calculated score, deduction points, total score, total deduction points, and overall score are also updated and displayed on the display screen. In addition, it is optional to display the total points, total deductions, and overall points generated by the information processing device 14, along with player information (including attribute information such as the player's name and the organization to which the player belongs), on a large display device 26 installed at the competition venue.

[0029] Next, the scoring process of the information processing device 14 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In advance, the coordinator judge, who is a senior judge, checks the check boxes CB displayed on the display device 26 of the information processing device 14 in accordance with the increase or decrease in the number of judges (step S10). For example, if all referees are present, check all check boxes CB as shown in Figure 3, and if there is a vacancy in the referee position, uncheck the check box CB corresponding to the identification information of the vacant referee. As a result, the input operation from the terminal 12 of the vacant referee is invalid.

[0030] As the contestants compete, the judges each input numerical data such as scores, deductions, and time into their own terminals 12 and transmit the numerical data by operating the enter key or the like (step S12). The numerical data transmitted from the terminal 12 reaches the information processing device 14 via the communication line 16, and the acquiring unit 18A acquires the numerical data as corresponding numerical data that is associated with the identification information (step S14). As shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 18C displays a list of a plurality of pieces of identification information and a plurality of pieces of corresponding numerical data in association with each other on the display device 26 (step S16).

[0031] The calculation unit 18B calculates the points and deductions based on the acquired corresponding numerical data, and calculates the total points, total deductions, and overall points (step S18). Furthermore, for the construction score and the execution score, the first point difference and the second point difference are calculated, respectively (step S20). Display unit 18C displays the calculated score, deduction points, total score, total deduction points, overall score, first point difference, and second point difference on display device 26 (step S22). In this embodiment, when the first point difference (second point difference) exceeds the first tolerance (second tolerance), the display format of the first point difference (second point difference) displayed on the display device 26 is different from when the first point difference (second point difference) is within the first tolerance (second tolerance), for example, by changing the text color from white to red to visually draw attention and prevent higher-ranking judges from overlooking it.

[0032] The higher-ranking judges compare the first point difference displayed for each of the component score and the execution score with the first allowable difference, and determine whether the first point difference exceeds the first allowable difference (step S24). If step S24 is negative, the process proceeds to step S28; if step S24 is positive, a score correction operation is required, so the composition score or execution score displayed in the first numerical data display column C2 for each judge is corrected by clicking the increase / decrease button SB to increase or decrease it by operating the input device 28 (step S26). For example, as shown in Figure 3, if the first tolerance displayed in the first tolerance display field C4 of the component point is 1.000 and the first point difference of the component point displayed in the first point difference display field C3 of the component point is 2.300 points, the component point needs to be corrected. In this example, the component score of judge (structure 1) of 2.300 is significantly lower than the component scores of the other judges (4.1 to 4.6), so as shown in Figure 4, the component score is added to the component score of judge (structure 1) to correct the component score to 3.6, thereby correcting the first point difference (1.000) so that it satisfies the first tolerance (1.000). In this case, the first point difference is updated each time the component points (scores) are corrected, so that a higher-ranking judge can easily and reliably check whether the first point difference has become a value that satisfies the first allowable difference by visually checking the display screen of the display device 26. In this example, correction of the first point difference is not required for the execution point, so correction is not made, but the operation procedure when correction of the execution point becomes necessary is the same as that for the construction point.

[0033] Next, the higher-ranking judge compares the second point difference displayed for each of the component score and the execution score with the second allowable difference, and determines whether the second point difference exceeds the second allowable difference (step S28). If step S30 is negative, proceed to step S32, and if step S28 is positive, a score correction operation is required, so as in step S26, the composition points or execution points displayed in the first numerical data display column C2 for each judge are corrected by clicking the increase / decrease button SB by operating the input device 28 to increase or decrease them (step S30). In this case, the second point difference is updated each time the score is corrected, so that the higher ranking judge can easily and reliably check whether the second point difference has become a value that satisfies the second allowable difference by visually checking the display screen of the display device 26. In this example, correction of the second point difference is not required for both the construction point and the execution point, so correction is not performed, but the operating procedure when correction is required is as described above.

[0034] The final total score, total deduction score, and overall score that reflect such corrections are calculated by the calculation unit 18B and displayed on the display device 26 (step S32). This completes the series of actions, and the same processing as above is repeated each time the competitors compete. The decisions made by the coordinator judge in steps S24 and S28 and the corrections made in steps S26 and S30 may be made based on the advice and instructions of the chief judge.

[0035] In addition, in this example, the component score of judge (Kai 1) of 2.300 is significantly lower than that of the other judges, so we have explained the case where the component score of judge (Kai 1) of the component points is added to correct the component points.However, conversely, if the component score of a certain judge is significantly higher than that of the other judges, the component score of that judge may be subtracted to correct the component points. In addition, the component points of the two judges may be corrected by adding one and subtracting the other. In other words, the first point difference (second point difference) can be corrected so that it satisfies the first tolerance (second tolerance), and the number of component points (or execution points) to be corrected and the combination of additions and subtractions are optional, and are specifically determined by the judgment of the senior judge.

[0036] As described above, according to this embodiment, in the information processing device 14 handled by a higher-ranking referee different from the multiple referees, the numerical data transmitted from the multiple terminals 12 operated by each of the multiple referees is acquired as multiple corresponding numerical data corresponding to multiple identification information identifying the multiple referees, and is displayed in a list on the display device 26, the first point difference obtained by subtracting the lowest score from the highest score of the multiple corresponding numerical data is displayed on the display device 26, the corresponding numerical data is changed by the higher-ranking referee operating the input device 28 and displayed on the display device 26, and the score is calculated based on the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device 26. Therefore, if a higher-ranking umpire determines that the corresponding numerical data needs to be corrected based on the first point difference displayed on the display device 26, the higher-ranking umpire can immediately correct the corresponding numerical data. Therefore, when correcting the corresponding numerical data, the higher-ranking judges do not have to talk to the lower-ranking judges every time to confirm the scoring details and give instructions for corrections, which is advantageous in shortening the time required to correct scores in competitions such as rhythmic gymnastics. For example, in a typical competition, if it takes one minute to correct the scores for each of the competitions involving dozens or hundreds of athletes, it would result in a loss of time of one hour, causing the competition to be extended.However, this type of time loss can be avoided, which is advantageous in terms of making the competition more efficient.

[0037] In addition, in this embodiment, the first point difference and the first allowable difference that is acceptable as the first point difference are displayed on the display device 26, so that a higher-ranking judge can easily compare the first point difference with the first allowable difference and determine whether or not the corresponding numerical data needs to be corrected, and this is also advantageous in that it allows for easy confirmation of whether the corrected first point difference satisfies the first allowable difference. It is also possible to write the first tolerance down in a memo or the like instead of displaying it on the display device 26, and then determine whether or not the corresponding numerical data needs to be corrected by looking at the memo. However, if the present embodiment is adopted, it will be possible to avoid the trouble of having to take and check notes one by one, which is advantageous in reducing the burden on the senior judges and avoiding mistakes in judgment.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, when the remaining corresponding numerical data excluding the highest and lowest points among the plurality of corresponding numerical data are set as valid points, a second point difference obtained by subtracting the lowest point from the highest point of the plurality of valid points is displayed on the display device 26. Therefore, if a higher-ranking judge determines that the corresponding numerical data needs to be corrected based on the second point difference, the corresponding numerical data can be corrected immediately. This is advantageous in shortening the time required to correct scores, avoiding time loss that could cause the competition to be extended, and improving the efficiency of competition management.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, the second point difference and the second allowable difference that is acceptable as the second point difference are displayed on display device 26, so that a higher-ranking judge can easily compare the second point difference with the second allowable difference and determine whether or not the corresponding numerical data needs to be corrected, and this is also advantageous in that it allows for easy confirmation of whether the corrected second point difference satisfies the second allowable difference. As in the case of the first tolerance, the second tolerance may be written down in a memo or the like without being displayed on the display device 26, but if done as in this embodiment, there is no need to take notes or check the notes every time, which is advantageous in reducing the burden on higher-ranking judges and avoiding mistakes in judgment.

[0040] In addition, in this embodiment, the corresponding numerical data is changed by operating the increase / decrease buttons SB displayed near the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device 16, thereby increasing or decreasing the corresponding numerical data. This is advantageous in that the corresponding numerical data can be easily and efficiently corrected. Although the corresponding numerical data may be changed by directly inputting the numerical values from the input device 28 (keyboard), this takes time and effort to input the numerical values and is prone to input errors, so it is more advantageous to operate the increase / decrease button SB as in this embodiment in order to efficiently correct the corresponding numerical data.

[0041] In the embodiment, the case where the judged competition for which scores are calculated is described as men's rhythmic gymnastics has been described, but the present invention can be applied to the judging of various conventionally known judged competitions and various recitals, including women's rhythmic gymnastics, in which numerical data for evaluating the competition content is determined by multiple judges and scores are tallied based on the numerical data. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case where the information processing device 14 is connected to a plurality of terminals 12 via a communication line 16 such as a LAN has been described, but the information processing device 14 only needs to be able to acquire numerical data from the terminals 12, and the communication line 16 may be configured in any manner.

[0042] In addition, in this embodiment, lower-ranking judges (for example, a total of eight judges from Structure 1 to Structure 4 and Reality 1 to Reality 4) can input scores (numerical data) using terminal 12, and then again input scores that have been changed from the above scores using terminal 12. In this way, if a score is entered once and then an altered score is entered into the terminal 12, the altered score will be newly acquired by the acquisition unit 18A, and the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device 26 will be arbitrarily changed. When such a situation occurs, the corresponding numerical data displayed on the display device 26 is changed without being finalized, and therefore the higher-ranking judge operating the information processing device 14 cannot correctly judge whether or not the scores of the lower-ranking judges need to be corrected, making it impossible to make correct score corrections and making it difficult to calculate accurate scores.

[0043] In order to solve this problem, the program executed by the CPU 18 is modified to add the following function to the acquisition unit 18A. The acquisition unit 18A is equipped with a prohibition function that prohibits the acquisition of multiple corresponding numerical data after acquiring multiple corresponding numerical data corresponding to all of the multiple lower-ranking referees, and is configured so that the prohibition function can be selectively enabled or disabled. The setting of whether the prohibition function is enabled or disabled can be performed, for example, by displaying a selection button for enabling / disabling the prohibition function on the display screen of the display device 26, and having a higher-ranking referee manually operate the selection button. When the prohibition function of the acquisition unit 18A is enabled and all of the lower-ranked judges have entered their scores from the terminal 12, the lower-ranked judges are prohibited from changing their scores thereafter, and the scores of the lower-ranked judges displayed on the display screen of the display device 26 are finalized. Therefore, the higher-ranked judges can correctly judge whether or not it is necessary to revise the scores based on the confirmed scores of the lower-ranked judges, and can therefore revise the scores correctly, which is advantageous in ensuring that the scores are calculated accurately and reliably. The prohibition function of the acquisition unit 18A functions for each series of scoring processes executed by the information processing device 14 for each athlete to be scored. Therefore, after the scoring process (calculation of total points, total deductions, and overall score) for a certain athlete A is completed (confirmed), for the next athlete B, input of scores from the terminal 12 is not prohibited until the input of numerical data (scores) from the terminal 12 of all lower-ranked judges is completed, and naturally, the acquisition unit 18A can smoothly acquire multiple corresponding numerical data.
