DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a bid system according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of essential parts of an embodiment of a bid system according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a bid information input unit, which is provided for each bidder and inputs bid information. A data processing unit 2 generates required image data based on the information from the bid information input unit 1. A camera 3 images a sample of an auction item placed on a sample table or the like. A bidder terminal 4 processes a signal from the bid information input unit 1 and an image from the data processing unit 2 or the camera 3. The auction information input unit 1, the data processing unit 2, the camera 3, and the label printer 10 described later are set as one set, and this set is provided in each lane (auction floor).

Reference numeral 5 denotes a purchaser terminal device, which is installed at each purchaser's seat and performs input operation for buying. Reference numeral 6 denotes a display unit, which is installed at each buyer's seat and is an image of bid information processed by the data processing unit 2 input by the plurality of bidders via the bidder terminal 4 or an image by the camera 3. Is displayed on a multi-screen. Reference numeral 7 denotes a card reader, which is installed, for example, in the purchaser terminal 5 and reads an ID (identification code preset for each purchaser) magnetically recorded on the card when the purchaser inserts a card. 8 is a computer device,
The data from the buyer terminal 5 is processed. A signal transmission network 9 connects the bidder terminal 4, the purchaser terminal 5, the display unit 6, the computer device 8 and the like, and transmits signals to each other. Reference numeral 10 is a label printer, which prints a label to be attached to the item for sale based on the data from the bidder terminal 4 based on the establishment of sale.

Next, the operation of the auction system according to the present invention will be described. When a plurality of lanes are provided to carry out a plurality of bids in parallel, the bid information input unit 1, the data processing unit 2, the camera 3, the bidder terminal 4, and the label printer 10 are set as one set. Is installed in each lane (by bidder). The bidder places a sample of an auction item on a required sample table, and the camera 3 captures an image of the sample by operating the auction information input unit 1 or the like. Then, by operating the auction information input unit 1, the producer, product name, grade of the auction item,
Enter the information such as the number of units, the number of units, the place of origin, the bid unit, the sales unit, and the bid start price. These data are processed by the data processing unit 2 in a required format, and the generated image is combined with the image from the camera 3 to generate an image as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Then, this image is sent to each purchaser's seat via the signal transmission network 9 and displayed on the screen of the display unit 6. The signal transmission network 9 has, for example, a number of lines corresponding to the number of lanes, and images from the bidder terminals are simultaneously transmitted to the buyer seats. 6. Allows multi-screen display. In addition,
The data input from the bid information input unit 1 is transmitted from the bidder terminal 4 to the computer device 8 via the signal transmission network 9 and recorded in the data storage area of the lane.

FIG. 3 shows an example of an image obtained by processing the auction information input from the auction information input section 1 in another format.
The image of the camera 3 may be overlapped with the display of the producer name, the product name, etc. of this image. It should be noted that, at the bottom of the image, information of the next bid entered by the bidder is displayed.

Then, the bidder is started by a required operation of the bidder terminal 4. The image displayed on the display unit 6 is gradually lowered from the auction start price by the operation of the bidder until the buyer inputs the purchase, which will be described later. Hold the price and wait for the addition of buy input.

On the other hand, each purchaser has his or her own purchaser terminal 5
First, the required ID is input. This ID input may be made possible by inserting the ID card into the card reader 7 provided in the purchaser terminal 5, for example. FIG. 4 shows an example of the operation surface of the purchaser terminal device 5, and the slit 21 is the above-mentioned card reader 7. Card reader 7
The ID read in is registered in the memory built in the buyer terminal 5. After inputting the ID, the purchaser presses the lane key 22 to display the sample image of the desired lane and the image of the auction information on the display unit 6, selects the purchased item on this screen, and the price displayed on the screen. While observing, decide whether or not to purchase, input the number of purchases, etc. by operating the numeric keypad 23, and press the send key 24. Alternatively, the display unit 6 is switched to the multi-screen display by a required operation, and a plurality of lanes are selected by the lane key 22 and displayed on the display unit 6. By operating the transmission key, the input data from the buyer terminal 5 is transmitted to the computer device 8 together with the ID read from the built-in memory and recorded in the data storage area of the computer device 8 belonging to the ID. It

The computer device 8 performs the required processing in the order in which the signals are input and sends it to the bidder terminal device 4. The bidder terminal 4 subtracts, for example, the number of bids input from the buyer terminal 5 via the computer device 8 from the remaining bids of the bid item, the data processing unit 2 processes the image data, and the display unit 6 displays it. The remaining number of displayed images is updated, and the buyer number (purchaser ID) and the number of purchased units are displayed. The images shown in Figures 2 and 3 start the auction from 5000 yen,
This is an example of the case where a buy is entered at 00 yen and the sale is completed. Then, the bidder terminal 4 outputs a signal to the buyer terminal 5, and the purchase amount and the like are displayed on the display unit 25 of the buyer terminal 5.

The label printer 10 prints a product name, a buyer's number, a number, etc. on a required sticking label in response to a signal from the bidder terminal 4 indicating that the sale has been completed. Alternatively, a printing device may be connected to the computer device 8 and the trading results and the like may be printed out on the basis of signals from the bidder terminals 4 based on the establishment of trading.

[0014]

As described above, according to the auction system of the present invention, the image of the auction information is created by the required data processing and is displayed on the display section installed in each buyer's seat. Therefore, for example, when the format of the image of the auction information is changed, it can be dealt with by changing the data processing method. Therefore, for example, the image can be easily switched depending on the item handled. Further, it is possible to display accurate auction information such as displaying an image of a sample product taken by a camera on the display section of each purchaser's seat.
