DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of using an access counter provided on a homepage on a computer network as a prize. No way to use it in a bingo game-like way (ie, the numbers change on the screen and enjoy matching the numbers) or the organizer can understand that the winners will be charged for the same winnings over and over again This is a method for preventing duplicate winning requests.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, various prizes are given on homepages on the Internet, but all of those who apply for the prize have questions about how fair the lottery is. This is because the winning number or even the lottery method is often not disclosed.

[0003]

[0007] As a method of preventing a double winning request such as a prize on a homepage, a winning display and a winning are received at the time of displaying the winning or when the organizer receives a winning notification by e-mail from the winning customer. It can be said that it becomes possible by combining with a time, a product order form or a counter, or a reception recording method in a database. Regarding the lottery method, if the winning is determined by the number of the counter such as the access counter, it is fairly fair in that respect, but the access counter increases the number according to a certain law each time the homepage is accessed, so the numerical value It is easy to predict and is not suitable for use as a prize. Conventionally, it is preferable that a prize winner can set a winning probability depending on a situation such as a price of a product or the like, a budget, and the like. However, at present, there is no method that can control the probability while ensuring fairness. Therefore, the present inventor puts a counter based on the same account on another homepage, making it difficult to predict the number of the counter, and by combining multiple counters, further increases the unpredictability of the access counter, and operates the sweepstakes probability. It is possible.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a method for preventing a duplicate winning request according to the present invention uses a winning display when a winning is displayed or when the organizer receives a notification by e-mail from a winning customer.

The gist is that they did so. In addition, the method of using the counter of the present invention in a bingo game mode is that the counter of the same account is set on a plurality of pages, the number of accesses cannot be predicted, and the counter is used as a prize tool. . Furthermore, the method of using the counter of the present invention as a prize tool can be realized by creating individual prize counters on a specific or related page by providing a plurality of combinations of counters of different accounts, and providing each counter on a separate page.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the present invention, "display in combination" means that items may be displayed simultaneously on the same page or may be transmitted to a prize or lottery organizer even on another page. , It is only necessary to be displayed in combination. The access counter used in the present invention may be an access counter that can be used on a homepage on the Internet. The display method of the access counter is usually a side-by-side method of 5 to 6 digits, and the method of processing the count variable uses the whole number as one variable, or assigns a variable for each digit. However, when using a display method other than displaying the digits of each digit sequentially from the lower one digit to the left, it is preferable that a variable is assigned to each digit. The access counter may be that of a homepage that provides a prize, or that of another homepage. In the present invention, "time" includes date and time.

[0007]

[Embodiment 1] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is an example of a home page having an access counter. It is assumed that the access counter inherent in the homepage of “A” is displayed, and the current time display is displayed below the access counter. It is assumed that the display on the counter is four digits in a row and is "2612" in order from the thousands place. For the person who has accessed this page, the access time and the counter display are simultaneously displayed as shown in FIG. Now on this homepage,
If the condition of the prize is "when the end of the counter is 2,"
It meets the conditions and will be won.

At this time, the winner can acquire his or her winning merchandise by transmitting this page on the Internet or by printing and sending it by mail to the prize organizer. At this time, since the time display is provided on the same page as the counter display, duplicate winning requests can be avoided.
This time display may be an order form for a product. Similarly, duplicate winning requests are avoided. In addition, even if the time display or counter is not displayed on the homepage, when the purchase order for the product is sent, the winning time display (Which time of sender, server, or recipient is used is set. Can be selected, but it is thought that setting the recipient and server time will help prevent fraud.) Alternatively, the duplicate winning request can be prevented by transmitting the counter in combination with the winning display. In this embodiment, it can be said that the winning number of the prize is clear and can be easily understood by the operator, fairness is ensured, and winning establishment can be operated.

[Embodiment 2] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment relates to a method of displaying lottery displayed on a home page, and the lottery lottery and the time are displayed at the same time. In FIG. 2, α is a time display, and β is a result display of a lottery lottery. In this homepage, a lottery is automatically drawn when accessed. Depending on the lottery, some prize merchandise may be decided. In that case, the prize will be obtained in the lottery result display The displayed product name may be displayed. In that case, the winner of the product may be able to send the result directly from this page, or by sending a printout of this page to the sweepstakes organizer by mail or the like, to acquire their winning product be able to. At this time,
Having a clock display helps prevent duplicate winning requests. The access counter may be displayed simultaneously with the lottery. Like the time display, it has the function of preventing duplicate winning.

[0010] Even if there is no indication of the time or the like on the surface of the home page, if the winning data is stored in the database, the operation of the winner is not required, and the request for the winning is doubled. However, since the registration data and the winning time of the winner are stored in the database on the organizer side and can be collated with the data, it is possible to prevent duplicate winning requests.

[Embodiment 3] A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, a case where one access counter based on an account on one homepage is installed is described. In the present embodiment, an access counter based on a certain account (A) is installed on a plurality of homepages. The case will be described.

Generally, the counter is counted based on a specific account, and the number is increased according to which account is used. Tozuku counter can be set up. In other words, when setting up a counter, a specific account is determined, and if there is access to a homepage having a counter based on that account, the account is counted for each account on the server side. Now Figure 3
As shown in (a) and (b), it is assumed that counters based on the account (A) are installed on both the homepage (i) and the homepage (u). It is assumed that when a certain person accesses the homepage of (I), the number of the counter of the homepage of (I) is 0026. Then, immediately after that, if another person accesses the home page of (U), the number on the counter is displayed as 0027, which is the number next to 0026. this is,
This is because the counters of the homepages (i) and (u) both use the account (A). Then, when another person accesses the homepage (i), the counter reads 0028 as shown in FIG.
Is displayed.

As described above, if a counter having the same account is set on a plurality of pages, it is not necessary to proceed for each access on one page, so that it is difficult to predict the counter. it can.

[0014] Therefore, in this case, it is impossible to predict how long there will be access after which the winning number will be obtained.

[Embodiment 4] A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, two counters are prepared based on different accounts, and they are set to XY. Then, the counters are arranged up and down or left and right so that the prize can be given by combining the numbers. On this home page, a winner will be awarded if at least one of the upper and lower numbers is available. Each counter of X and Y is not only on the homepage of (e), but also by setting each counter of X and Y on multiple homepages as in the third embodiment, the unpredictability of the counter number is possible. X and Y make individual movements based on separate accounts. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the movement of the upper and lower counters, and it is also difficult to predict until the winning number is reached.

According to such a prize method, the organizer may set a condition that is difficult to achieve if the probability is to be reduced, and a condition that is easy to achieve if the probability is to be increased. By doing so, the probability operation becomes easy. For example, an example of a condition that is difficult to achieve is when the last two digits of the X and Y counters are the same. For example, an example of the condition that is easy to achieve is that the lower digits of the X and Y counters are the same. The time of the number can be considered.

At this time, the counter is displayed in combination with a specific page, but the same can be achieved even if the counter is posted on the related page.

[0018]

By using such an access counter in a bingo game, the fairness of the prize is higher than that of the conventional one, the predictability is difficult, and the expectation for the prize is increased. In the method of the present invention, the winning method (number)
Can be made public, and the participants will trust the sweepstakes organizer. It is easier to understand the result of the sweepstakes at the time of access than in other sweepstakes, and it attracts interest to those who want to know the result of the sweepstakes immediately, which is a factor of increase in access and can be said to be effective. Furthermore, by combining the method of preventing duplicate winning requests, it can be said that the system can be used safely by the prize organizer on the homepage.
