Betting Ticket Dividend Adjustment via Shared Content Specification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing betting systems for competitions like horse racing are complex, leading to a high operational load and increased likelihood of erroneous operations for bettors.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that accepts bets for a betting ticket specifying a competition and betting content, allows specification of a first betting ticket from among those bet by a user, and enables a second user to bet on a second ticket with the same content, increasing the dividend ratio by adding an additional dividend ratio to the basic ratio.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a bettor specifies betting content by performing multiple operations to specify competition, betting type, and target, then the betting system can process complex betting requirements, but the operational load increases and erroneous operation becomes more likely
Solution Approach 1:
The system stores betting history information in advance, including competition information, betting type, and target that have been previously specified. When a user wants to place a bet, they can select from pre-stored betting content options rather than specifying everything from scratch, significantly reducing the number of operations required while maintaining the ability to handle complex betting requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to copy previous betting content specifications. By storing historical betting information and enabling selection/reuse of past betting configurations, the system creates templates that can be replicated, reducing operational complexity while preserving full betting specification capabilities
2Reliability
If the system allows users to bet on the same betting content as others, then the dividend ratio increases for all participants, but the system complexity increases due to tracking and managing shared betting tickets
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to users about how many other users have bet on the same content and what the current dividend ratio is. This feedback mechanism encourages users to join existing betting groups, increasing the dividend ratio for everyone while the system automatically manages the complexity of tracking multiple users on the same betting content
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple users' betting information into shared betting tickets. Instead of treating each user's bet as completely separate, the system combines betting data for users who select the same content, automatically managing the complexity of tracking and calculating dividends for grouped bets

AI summary
An information processing device includes a processor, wherein the processor accepts a bet of a betting ticket specifying a betting content based on an operation to specify a competition for betting by a first user and an operation to specify a betting content for betting for the specified competition, the processor accepts a specification of a first betting ticket from at least one betting ticket bet by the first user, the processor accepts a bet of a second betting ticket that specifies the same betting content as the first betting ticket by accepting an operation to specify the first betting ticket by a second user, and the processor sets a dividend ratio of the second betting ticket by adding a first additional dividend ratio to a first basic dividend ratio defined in the second betting ticket when the second user bets on the second betting ticket.
