Description

Lottery system using cars

[0001] The present invention relates to a lottery system using a car, and more particularly, to a lottery system using a car that allows lottery tickets to be easily purchased online, increases the voluntary tax payment rate for lottery ticket purchases, and allows lottery ticket purchasers to set a region for using lottery funds.

[0002]

[0003] In general, a lottery refers to a ticket with a prize money that is issued and sold by a country or public institution for the purpose of raising funds for a specific business. Types of lottery include lottery, lotto, instant lottery, number game, and sports lottery.

[0004] When dividing the types of lotteries by the method of participation of lottery buyers, there are lottery and instant lottery tickets in which the numbers or symbols that determine the winnings of the lottery are pre-printed, and there are lottery, number game, and sports lottery (e.g. horse racing, bicycle racing, motorboat racing, bullfighting, etc.) in which the lottery buyer purchases the ticket by directly selecting or entering the numbers or symbols.

[0005] As mentioned above, when a lottery purchaser purchases a lottery ticket by directly selecting or entering numbers or symbols, the lottery purchaser would enter the numbers or symbols he or she wants on a purchase slip (Betting Slip), and then submit the purchase slip along with cash to the seller to make a purchase request. The seller would then insert the purchase slip submitted by the lottery purchaser into a lottery ticket vending machine. The lottery vending machine would then read the purchase information entered on the purchase slip with a scanner and send it to the main server. The main server would then issue a lottery ticket based on the purchase information received from the lottery vending machine and then transmit the issued lottery ticket information to the lottery vending machine.

[0006] In this way, the lottery ticket machine that receives lottery information from the main server prints the lottery information received from the main server on paper and issues a lottery ticket, and the seller delivers the issued paper lottery ticket to the lottery ticket purchaser.

[0007] As discussed above, in the past, to purchase a lottery ticket, one had to use a purchase ticket. However, since the purchase ticket was mostly discarded after purchasing the lottery ticket, not only did this result in a waste of resources, but there was also the problem of a lot of unnecessary costs being incurred in implementing the lottery business.

[0008] In addition, since lottery tickets are traditionally issued in the form of paper tickets, there are problems such as the possibility of the tickets being counterfeited, stolen, or altered, and the inevitable costs of raw materials, printing costs, and distribution costs for producing paper lottery tickets.

[0009] Therefore, in order to solve these problems, a technology described in Korean Patent No. 10-1673173, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, has been proposed, the technical features of which include a mobile terminal (10) for receiving purchase information required for purchasing a lottery ticket from a lottery purchaser through an input screen provided by executing a lottery ticket issuing application; a lottery ticket issuing machine (20) for receiving a lottery ticket issuing request including the purchase information from the mobile terminal (10) connected via a short-range wireless communication method; and a main server (30) for issuing a lottery ticket using the purchase information included in the lottery ticket issuing request received through the lottery ticket issuing machine (20) and transmitting the issued lottery ticket information to the lottery ticket issuing machine (20); wherein the lottery ticket issuing machine (20) issues a lottery ticket based on the lottery information received from the main server (30) in the form of an image file having the same shape as a paper lottery ticket, and includes at least one of the size of the entire file and the distance to the actual image data location; It is characterized by comprising an image header including at least one of the size of a structure, the width of an image, the height of an image, the number of bit planes, the number of colors per pixel, whether compressed, the size of an image, the horizontal resolution, the vertical resolution, the number of colors actually used, and the primary color index; a lottery header including at least one of a security key value, identification information of a sales office, and the date and time of lottery issuance; and image data storing the unique identification information of a lottery purchaser who purchased a lottery ticket by encrypting and marking it.

[0010] However, the technology described in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1673173 has the advantage of allowing lottery purchasers to electronically issue lottery tickets using a mobile terminal (10), but although considerable profits are generated from lottery ticket issuance with the help of citizens purchasing lottery tickets, there is a problem in that there is no contribution to society through such profits.

[0011]

[0012] The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a lottery system using a car that grants the right to purchase lottery tickets through the license plate number of a vehicle detected when driving on a toll road including an expressway and a general road, and allows lottery tickets to be purchased online, so that not only can lottery tickets be purchased easily, but also increases the voluntary tax payment rate by preventing lottery tickets from being purchased by an authorized person who has unpaid taxes in cooperation with the tax office, and provides welfare benefits to winners.

[0013] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a lottery system using automobiles that allows lottery funds from the sales proceeds of lottery tickets to be used for road maintenance costs, allows the lottery drawing region to be set nationwide or by local governments when purchasing lottery tickets, and distributes the winnings and lottery funds according to the lottery ratio of the region among all lotteries, thereby allowing lottery purchasers to allocate the use of lottery funds to the region they need.

[0014]

[0015] The present invention to solve these problems;

[0016] It is characterized by comprising a main server that issues and draws lottery tickets, a server of a road management entity that is connected to the main server through communication, and a terminal that is connected to the main server through communication for purchasing lottery tickets.

[0017] Here, the main server is characterized by comprising an issuance module that issues a lottery ticket in response to a lottery ticket issuance request from the terminal, an authority confirmation module that confirms the authority to purchase a lottery ticket through road use information received from the server of the road management entity, and a drawing module that draws a winning number from among the lottery tickets issued through the issuance module.

[0018] In addition, the above-mentioned authorization verification module is characterized in that it grants the right to purchase lottery tickets only to the owner of a vehicle that has driven during a set period of time.

[0019] At this time, the number of the lottery ticket issued through the issuance module is characterized as being the vehicle number.

[0020] In addition, the main server is connected to the tax office server through communication, and the authorization verification module is characterized in that it prevents tax delinquents from purchasing lottery tickets from receiving information from the tax office server.

[0021] Meanwhile, the user purchases a lottery ticket through the terminal, and is characterized in that when purchasing a lottery ticket, the lottery drawing region is selected from among the entire country or local governments.

[0022] Here, the main server is further equipped with a settlement module for distributing lottery funds and winnings, and the settlement module is characterized in that it distributes lottery funds and winnings nationwide or by local government according to the ratio of the lottery region selected by the user.

[0023]

[0024] According to the present invention having the above configuration, it is possible to easily purchase lottery tickets by granting the authority to purchase lottery tickets through the license plate number of a vehicle detected while driving on a toll road or general road including an expressway and allowing the purchase of lottery tickets online, and in addition, in conjunction with the tax office, it is possible to increase the voluntary tax payment rate by preventing a person with the authority from purchasing lottery tickets if he or she has unpaid taxes, and it has the effect of supporting welfare benefits to winners.

[0025] In addition, the present invention has the effect of allowing lottery fund funds from the sales proceeds of lottery tickets to be used for road maintenance costs, and by allowing the drawing region to be set nationwide or by local government when purchasing lottery tickets, and distributing the winnings and lottery funds according to the lottery ratio of the region among all lotteries, allowing lottery purchasers to allocate the use of lottery funds to the regions they need.

[0038]

[0039] The present invention relates to a lottery system using an automobile, and as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, its configuration comprises a main server (100) that issues and draws lottery tickets, a server (300) of a road management entity that is connected to the main server (100) through communication, and a terminal (200) that is connected to the main server (100) through communication and that purchases lottery tickets.

[0040] Here, the terminal (200) may be a smartphone owned by an individual, or may be a computer or tablet capable of using a communication network. Instead of having to visit a lottery sales outlet and purchase a lottery ticket in person, as in the past, the user can easily purchase a lottery ticket online through the terminal (200).

[0041] And, the main server (100) is composed of an issuance module (110) that issues lottery tickets in response to a lottery ticket issuance request from the terminal (200), an authority confirmation module (120) that confirms the right to purchase lottery tickets through the use information of toll roads and general roads received from the server (300) of the road management entity, a drawing module (130) that draws winning numbers from among the lotteries issued through the issuance module (110), and a communication module (140) for connecting to each server through communication.

[0042] Here, the road management entity is a place that manages toll roads and general roads including expressways, and may be the Korea Expressway Corporation, a local government, or a private business operator. The road management entity is connected to a server (300) operated by the road management entity and receives usage information on toll roads and general roads from the server (300) of each road management entity.

[0043] That is, in the case of a toll road, the vehicle number can be collected when passing through the toll gate, and in the case of a general road, the number of each vehicle can be confirmed through surveillance cameras installed at traffic lights or various other locations. In the case of surveillance cameras installed on general roads, information can be collected through the police department's server.

[0044] At this time, the main server (100) is further equipped with a vehicle DB (160), and the vehicle DB (160) stores information on vehicles using each road received from the server (300) of each road management entity.

[0045] Meanwhile, the vehicle information stored in the vehicle DB (160) stores information on which road each vehicle used and when, and the authority confirmation module (120) grants the owner of a vehicle that used the road for a set period of time the right to purchase a lottery ticket.

[0046] That is, for example, if the lottery drawing day is every Saturday at 22:00, the authority confirmation module (120) grants the right to purchase lottery tickets only to those who use the road from 00:00 on Sunday of the week in which the drawing is held to 18:00 on the following Saturday.

[0047] Here, when each user accesses the main server (100) through a terminal (200), he or she is personally authenticated using various certificates. During the authentication process, the user is connected to the local government server to confirm the vehicle he or she owns, thereby confirming whether the user can purchase a lottery ticket.

[0048] And, the issuing module (110) issues a lottery ticket when a user applies to purchase a lottery ticket through a terminal (200) and has the authority to purchase it through the authority confirmation module (120). The number of the lottery ticket to be issued is assigned to the number of the vehicle owned by the user.

[0049] Here, if the user owns multiple vehicles and has driven only one vehicle on the road, the lottery number is assigned to that vehicle. However, if there are multiple vehicles on the road, the user is asked to select one directly.

[0050] At this time, the lottery number may use the entire vehicle number, but only the numeric portion of the vehicle number may be assigned as the lottery number.

[0051] Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the main server (100) is connected to a tax office server (400) through communication so as to receive tax payment information from the tax office server (400).

[0052] Here, when a user requests to purchase a lottery ticket through a terminal (200), the issuing module (110) verifies whether the requesting user has legitimate authority to purchase a lottery ticket through the authority confirmation module (120). In this process, the issuing module (110) connects to the tax office server (400) to check whether the user has any tax arrears.

[0053] At this time, the user is allowed to check whether or not he or she has unpaid taxes through the above authority confirmation module (120), so personal information protection is not an issue, and the authority confirmation module (120) revokes the right to purchase lottery tickets so that the user cannot purchase lottery tickets if the user has unpaid taxes.

[0054] Therefore, the present invention has the effect of increasing the voluntary tax payment rate by preventing tax delinquents or defaulters from purchasing lottery tickets, thereby encouraging them to properly pay taxes in order to purchase lottery tickets.

[0055] And, when a user purchases a lottery ticket through the terminal (200), the issuing module (110) allows the user to select a drawing area for the lottery ticket to be purchased through the terminal (200).

[0056] Here, the lottery region that the user can select can be the entire country or each local government. When purchasing multiple lottery tickets, the lottery region can be set differently for each lottery ticket.

[0057] At this time, the main server (100) is further equipped with a settlement module (150) for distributing lottery funds and winnings generated by purchases by users. The settlement module (150) distributes lottery funds and winnings nationwide or by local government according to the ratio of the lottery region selected by the user.

[0058] Therefore, the lottery funds and winnings generated by a user purchasing a lottery ticket are allocated to the lottery region selected by the user in proportion to the number of lottery tickets issued, so the lottery funds and winnings distributed vary depending on the region.

[0059] That is, the winnings generated from selling lottery tickets are distributed to the winners, and the lottery funds are used for road maintenance costs and new road construction, and these lottery funds are distributed to each region in proportion to the number of lottery tickets issued, as mentioned above.

[0060] Therefore, if the road conditions in the area where you live are poor, purchasing a lottery ticket in that area will increase the lottery fund for that area, thereby contributing to improving the road conditions.

[0061] Meanwhile, the issued lottery tickets are drawn at a set time on a set date, and the winning numbers are drawn completely randomly through the drawing module (130) provided in the main server (100).

[0062] Here, the drawing module (130) draws winning numbers separately for each drawing region, and sets the winning ranking differently depending on the size of the local government.

[0063] That is, for example, in the case of a nationwide level, winning numbers are allocated from 1st to 4th place, in the case of a local government at the provincial level, winning numbers are allocated from 1st to 3rd place, and in the case of a city or county, winning numbers are allocated only for 1st place.

[0064] So, to ensure that the winners can secure the minimum prize money, and if they win the lottery, they should receive the prize money as a given, and in addition, they should be able to receive automobile-related welfare benefits such as automobile insurance support at a set rate proportional to the winning number, free oil change coupons, and free car washes for a certain period of time.

[0065] In addition, although vehicle number detection was explained above as detection when using toll roads including highways, road usage information including the number of each vehicle can be obtained from the road management entity or police agency server that manages the road traffic information collection system installed at a specific point on a general road.

[0066] In addition, it goes without saying that the convenience of purchasing lottery tickets can be increased by installing lottery ticket purchasing machines at specific locations such as highway rest areas.

[0067]

[0068] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the scope of the present invention extends to a range substantially equivalent to the embodiments of the present invention, and various modifications can be implemented by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the invention pertains within a range that does not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
