Solution Overview

Problem

Existing lottery systems do not adequately address user convenience, particularly in terms of ease of participation and variety of engagement options.

Innovation Solution

A lottery processing program and device that allows for both non-game and game-based lottery types, enabling users to select from multiple commercial good groups, with options to pay and receive rewards efficiently, and ensuring variety in game types and presentation formats.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a lottery system offers multiple lottery types (first lottery type without game playing operation and second lottery type with game playing operation), then user convenience and engagement variety are improved, but device complexity and system configuration become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The lottery system is segmented into distinct lottery types (first lottery type without game playing operation, second lottery type with game playing operation), allowing users to choose their preferred engagement level while maintaining a unified system architecture that manages the complexity internally

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lottery processing device is designed with multi-functionality to handle both lottery types through a single unified system, incorporating lottery conducting means, presentation means, and control means that can adapt to different operational modes without requiring separate dedicated systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the lottery system provides both first lottery type (without game playing operation) and second lottery type (with game playing operation), then user engagement variety is improved, but processing time and system response time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveengagement varietyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The control means is configured to determine the lottery type in advance before conducting the lottery process, allowing the system to prepare and execute the appropriate lottery type efficiently without time-consuming decisions during the actual lottery execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts its processing flow based on the determined lottery type, optimizing the execution path for each type (first lottery type without game playing operation or second lottery type with game playing operation) to minimize processing time while maintaining engagement variety

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A lottery processing device (10) includes a main board (11) and a touch panel monitor (12). The main board (11) is able to perform a lottery process. The touch panel monitor (12) is able to present commercial good information selected as a result of the lottery process. The main board (11) is able to perform control to conduct a lottery of one of a first lottery type that does not require a game playing operation performed by a user and a second lottery type that requires a game playing operation performed by the user.
