Thus, the mobile phone 5 receives the encrypted ticket or its reservation number from the data center B5 and downloads it to the recording medium 4a (step S25). Here, when the ticket reservation number is downloaded, the ticket is issued after payment through the information terminal 52 at the settlement / ticket issuing place B3 by the reservation number such as CVS, and the encrypted ticket information is transmitted to the portable terminal. It is downloaded to the recording medium 4a of the telephone.

Next, authentication is performed at the time of entry of the user at the ticket use place B4 such as a performance place using the portable telephone 5 on which the ticket downloaded by issuing the ticket is recorded. At the time of this authentication, at the ticket use place B4,
Through the processing of the entry-time authentication device 62, a user who comes with the mobile phone 5 communicates with the mobile phone 5 using Bluetooth to receive encrypted ticket information (step S26). The encrypted ticket information is decrypted using the secret key from the data center B5 (steps S27 to S29), and the decrypted ticket information and the customer-specific ticket reservation file 66a from the data center B5 are read. Authentication of the ticket is performed based on the information (steps S30 to S32).

In this process, if it is confirmed that the user is the person (YES), the entrance of the user is permitted (step S33), and if the person cannot be confirmed (NO), the entrance of the user is rejected. Yes (Step S3
7).

Note that a series of processes (steps S34 to S37) relating to personal authentication when ticket authentication is NO are as follows.
The same applies to the case where the user forgets the mobile phone 5. At present, if the ticket is forgotten, it is inconvenient because entry is not possible, but applying the above-mentioned personal authentication has an advantage that these inconveniences can be eliminated.

The above processing is for the case where the mobile phone 5 is used as the portable medium 1, and the case where the memory card 6 is used is shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 4, similarly to the processing shown in FIG. 2, the data broadcasting related to the TV ticket reservation at the ticket issuing company B2 and the broadcasting station / response server company B1 (steps S1 to S3), and the home C side The ticket reservation input, input content confirmation / application (steps S4 to S8), and the customer verification (steps S9 and S10) on the broadcast station / response server company B1 side are performed.
On the broadcast station / response server company B1 side, after collation of the customer, the processing related to the settlement approval shown in FIG. 2 described above (step S11,
S12) is omitted, and the customer's basic attributes, reservation contents,
Information such as a mobile phone number is transmitted to the data center B5 (step S14a).

When the data center B5 receives the information such as the basic customer attributes, the details of the reservation, and the mobile phone number from the broadcasting station / response server company B1 (step S16), the same ticket stock as the processing shown in FIG. A series of processes (steps S17b to S20) relating to provisional reservation of a ticket corresponding to a provisional reservation for an unsettled portion from the file 44b, a reservation number issuance (step S22b), an encryption key file 74b
Encryption of the reservation number with the public key of (step S23),
Each process of transmitting the encrypted reservation number and the like (step S24) is performed.

In step 2, when the ticket information is received (step S5)
3) The IC card 6a and the ticket media of the paper ticket 100 are selected (step S54), whereby the IC
Downloading to the card 6a or exchange (issuing) for the paper ticket 100 is performed. When a plurality of paper tickets 100 are reserved, a number of paper tickets 100 can be issued corresponding to the number of reservations.

As described above, the mobile phone 5 or the memory card (IC card 6a,
FIG. 5 shows an outline of the authentication at the time of entry when the SD card 6b) is used. In FIG. 5, a mobile phone 5, an IC card 6
a or the SD card 6b and the gate-type entry-time authentication device 62 perform communication by Bluetooth and other non-contact information reading using infrared rays or the like. As a result, ticket authentication is performed on the entrance-time authentication device 62 side, and the entrance of the user is permitted or denied. It is also possible to display information such as seat guidance on the screen of the mobile phone 5, for example, as shown in FIG. The outline of the electronic ticket system according to the present embodiment is summarized in FIG.

Therefore, according to the present example, when a reservation / purchase of a ticket is designated on a digital broadcast television terminal, for example, a nearby portable telephone automatically goes to a data center to get an electronic ticket, or from the data center. The acquired electronic ticket is stored in a mobile phone, the electronic ticket is stored in an IC card or an SD card inserted in a predetermined slot of a television terminal, or the electronic ticket stored in these media is authenticated at a venue. , Tickets reserved and purchased from TV, etc.
Since the media itself is used as a ticket simply by storing it on a recording medium in a medium such as an IC card or an SD card, the ticket can be used only at the venue where the ticket is used, such as at a venue where the ticket is used. Can play a role.

Thus, since the user can obtain the ticket itself in a short time while staying at home, the trouble of going to get the ticket itself can be saved. In addition, even if a ticket is forgotten at the venue, there is an advantage that a ticket purchaser can be confirmed, and no loss is caused. Further, since the ticket issuing company can provide tickets during the day, it is possible to expand sales of unsold tickets until the end of the period. At a venue or the like, manual ticket confirmation work can be reduced, and costs can be significantly reduced. In addition, since admission can be performed in a short time, there is an advantage that the customer service is further improved.

The timing of issuing a ticket is basically after the settlement is completed. For example, a reservation for an unsettled portion (CVS payment, bank transfer, credit unapproved, etc.) is provisionally reserved and reserved from the ticket stock. If the payment has not been made after a certain period of time, it is preferable that the reservation is returned to the ticket stock as a cancellation, and that the payment is confirmed, the ticket reservation file for each customer is updated to issue the ticket.

The settlement method includes credit payment, CV
Payment at S etc. (cash or credit payment at cash register, KI
Any of cash or credit payment at the OSK terminal) and other usual payment methods for mail order and the like can be applied.

For ticket confirmation at the venue, for example, when a ticket is issued at the data center, the ticket is encrypted with the public key of the data center, and at the venue, the electronic ticket stored in each medium such as a mobile phone is transmitted to the data center. If the electronic ticket cannot be decrypted here, the electronic ticket is regarded as falsified or destroyed on the way, and the individual is individually verified. This identity verification is performed by collating the customer-specific ticket reservation file of the data center with the identity card of the principal. Also, if a customer who has forgotten the media containing the electronic ticket at the venue is confirmed in the same manner as described above, admission becomes possible and convenience is greatly improved.

Further, regarding the transfer of a ticket and the distribution when a single user purchases a plurality of tickets at a time, the CVS
It is one of the most realistic methods to exchange a paper ticket for a reservation with a KIOSK terminal of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to exchange an electronic ticket between media such as a mobile phone. If so, the technology can be applied.

The present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications and applications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
