  However, in the system described in Patent Document 1, some function of the mobile communication device is restricted by transmitting the function restriction information to the mobile communication device via the AP and the mobile communication terminal receiving the function restriction information. To do. In this case, it is necessary to install APs at various places in the venue where you want to limit the functions of the mobile communication device. For example, if you want to limit some of the functions of the mobile communication device in the entire vast site, It is necessary to install a large number of APs so as to cover

  Furthermore, if the communication between the mobile communication device and the AP is not established, some functions of the mobile communication device cannot be restricted. For example, in a recent mobile communication device, a user can easily change the communication method, and when the wireless LAN is disconnected and changed to mobile data communication, the mobile communication device does not receive the function restriction information, There is also a problem that the facility cannot properly control each function of the mobile communication device.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing program, an information processing method, and an information processing apparatus that can appropriately and easily implement access control of each function using an electronic ticket.

  An information processing program according to the present invention is an information processing program that can be read and executed by a computer having at least one drive unit that performs a predetermined operation, and allows the computer to allow a user to enter a predetermined facility. A ticket receiving unit that receives an electronic ticket, an entrance detecting unit that detects a user's entrance to the facility, and an operation of the driving unit when the entrance detecting unit detects an entrance to the facility It is characterized in that it functions as a drive limiting unit.

  An information processing program of the present invention causes a user terminal (computer) to function as a ticket receiving unit, an entrance / exit unit, and a drive restriction unit, and an entrance detection unit allows a user to enter an event related to an electronic ticket or a venue such as a facility. Is detected, the drive limiting unit limits the operation of the drive unit of the user terminal. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a large number of APs on the venue side and transmit a packet including the function restriction information for restricting the operation of the user terminal. Further, when the user is in the hall, it is possible to limit the function of the user terminal regardless of whether the AP installed in the hall and the user terminal are communicating. As described above, the access control for each function can be appropriately and easily performed using the electronic ticket.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an electronic ticket recorded in the purchase ticket DB 16A.
As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic ticket according to this embodiment includes a ticket ID, usage target information, usage date / time information, facility unique information, an authentication code, restriction conditions, and the like.
The ticket ID is identification information attached to each electronic ticket.
The usage target information is information indicating an event name, a facility name, or the like that can be used with an electronic ticket.
The date and time of use records the date and time when the electronic ticket can be used. As the use date / time information, for example, a specific date / time that can participate in the event and a deadline date when the facility can be used (for example, “valid until the end of August 2030”) are recorded. If the available date and time is not limited, it may not be recorded.
The facility unique information is information unique to the use target of the electronic ticket, and for example, the position of the seat available to the user among the seats installed in the venue may be recorded.
As the authentication code, a code for authenticating the electronic ticket such as a QR code (registered trademark) is recorded.

As the restriction conditions, the usage conditions of each function of the user terminal in the facility are recorded. This restriction condition is set individually for each electronic ticket.
In the limiting condition, the drive unit to be limited and the limiting content are recorded.
The restriction content may include a position in the facility that restricts the operation of the drive unit. Further, the limitation content may include a drive permission amount that is a drive amount that allows the operation of the drive unit (for example, the number of captured still images, video recording time, audio recording time, etc.). Further, the limitation content may include a drive permission period in which the operation of the drive unit is permitted, or a drive limitation period in which the operation is limited.
In addition, the method of limiting the operation of the drive unit is recorded in the content of the limitation. As a method of limiting the operation of the drive unit of the present embodiment, the operation of the drive unit is prohibited and the operation of the drive unit is limited by the pay-per-use system. The operation prohibition of the drive unit is a method of limiting the operation of the drive unit by prohibiting (blocking) access to the drive unit by a predetermined application program. The operation of the drive unit based on the pay-per-use system is a method of restricting the operation of the drive unit by causing the drive unit to pay an amount of money according to the drive amount when the drive unit is driven beyond the permitted range. .
In addition, any one of these restrictions may be used, or a plurality of restrictions may be combined. For example, it may be recorded that the camera 13 permits the camera 13 to capture a still image a predetermined number of times only at a specific position in the facility and that the operation of the camera 13 is prohibited at other positions. In addition, as the content of restriction, even if a digital watermark flag indicating whether or not to insert a digital watermark into each piece of information such as a moving image, a still image, and audio generated by the operation of the driving unit in the facility is recorded. Good.

  In addition, the limiting condition may be different for each user. For example, in the present embodiment, a plurality of electronic tickets having different restricting conditions are prepared for electronic tickets of the same event, and the prices are different. The user selects and purchases a desired condition and price from a plurality of prepared electronic tickets.

(Functional configuration of control unit 17)
The control unit 17 includes an arithmetic circuit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a storage circuit such as a RAM (Random Access Memory). The control unit 17 expands various programs such as the ticket management program stored in the storage unit 16 and the like in the RAM, and executes various processes in cooperation with the program expanded in the RAM.
Then, the control unit 17 reads and executes the ticket management program stored in the storage unit 16 so that the ticket reception unit 171, the condition extraction unit 172, the entrance / exit detection unit 173, and the position detection unit as illustrated in FIG. 174, a drive limiting unit 175, a payment processing unit 176, a digital watermark inserting unit 177, and the like.

The ticket receiving unit 171 receives an electronic ticket from the ticket sales server 20 via the Internet.
The condition extracting unit 172 reads the limiting condition included in the received electronic ticket.
The entrance / exit detection unit 173 corresponds to the entrance detection unit and the exit detection unit of the present invention, and detects the entrance of the user to the facility such as the event site and the exit of the user from the facility.
In the example shown in FIG. 1, an entrance / exit gate having an authentication device 301 is provided at the event site, and when the authentication device reads the authentication code of the electronic ticket and confirms that the electronic ticket is an official ticket, the authentication device The admission permission information is transmitted to the user terminal 10. In the user terminal 10, when the second communication unit 112 receives the entrance permission information, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 detects the entrance of the user to the facility. The same applies to the detection of exit, and the entrance / exit detection unit 173 detects the exit of the user by reading the authentication code with the authentication device when the user leaves the facility.

The position detector 174 detects the position information of the user. Here, in the present embodiment, the position detection unit 174 detects the detailed position of the user in the facility.
When it is described that the operation of the drive unit is restricted based on the position of the user in the facility as the restriction condition of the electronic ticket, the detection method of the position information may be recorded in the electronic ticket. For example, in the case of a facility having a relatively large site area such as a theme park, position detection may be performed using satellite signals such as GPS. On the other hand, when detecting a more detailed position in the facility or in an indoor facility, it is desirable to use the information of the access point (AP302: see FIG. 1) installed in the facility. In this case, the position information of the AP 302 installed in the facility and the communication range of the AP 302 are recorded in the electronic ticket. As a result, the position detection unit 174 can detect the position of the user by detecting the radio waves from each AP 302, and more accurately detect the position of the user from the radio wave intensities of the plurality of receivable APs 302. can do.

  The drive restriction unit 175 restricts the operation of the drive unit to be restricted recorded in the restriction conditions of the electronic ticket 2 according to the content of the restriction. For example, the drive restriction unit 175 permits the operation of the drive unit to be restricted within the period specified in the restriction content, within the number of drive approvals specified in the restriction content, in the position specified in the restriction content, etc. Under the above condition, the operation of the drive unit is limited. The drive restriction by the drive restriction unit 175 is performed according to the restriction method recorded in the restriction content. For example, in the case where the operation prohibition of the drive unit is recorded in the content of the restriction, the drive restriction unit 175 prohibits a predetermined application using the drive unit to be restricted from accessing the drive unit to be restricted, that is, Prevent the drive from operating. Further, when the operation of the drive unit based on the amount of charge according to the content of the limitation is recorded, the drive limiting unit 175 performs the charge processing according to the drive amount for the operation of the drive unit outside the permitted conditions. The operation of the drive unit is restricted by imposing the.

The payment processing unit 176 executes a charging process (payment process) for paying a predetermined amount of money to a predetermined charging destination.
The digital watermark inserting unit 177 is generated by driving the driving unit when a digital watermark flag indicating that a digital watermark is to be inserted into each piece of information imaged or recorded in the facility is recorded as the restriction content. Insert digital watermark in each information.

[Configuration of ticket sales server 20]
The ticket sales server 20 is a computer managed by a seller who sells electronic tickets or an intermediary who is requested to sell electronic tickets by the seller, and although not shown, a communication unit, a storage unit, a control unit, and the like. It is equipped with each part that constitutes a computer.
The ticket sales server 20 includes a communication unit that communicates with the user terminal 10 and the venue management server 30 via the Internet, a sales ticket database (sales ticket DB) that manages information of electronic tickets to be sold, and the ticket sales server 20. It is composed of a control unit for controlling the operation.

As described above, a plurality of types of electronic tickets sold by the ticket selling server 20 via the Internet are provided according to the restriction conditions. The more restrictive the content, the cheaper the price, and the less restrictive the content, the more expensive the electronic ticket. Is priced as.
For example, for a certain live event, an inexpensive electronic ticket may be subject to a restriction condition that prohibits the driving of the camera 13 and the voice input / output unit 14 in the venue at all. The drive of the camera 13 and the voice input / output unit 14 may be freely permitted within a certain period.

Each electronic ticket recorded in the sales ticket DB is associated with usage date / time information selectable by the user, facility unique information selectable by the user, and restriction conditions selectable by the user.
Then, when the ticket sales server 20 receives from the user terminal 10 request information indicating that the predetermined ticket sales content of the ticket sales server 20 is to be accessed, various electronic tickets, restriction conditions selectable by the user, and prices thereof. The ticket sales content that guides and is transmitted to the user terminal 10.
Then, when the target electronic ticket and the limiting condition are selected in the user terminal 10 and the payment processing unit 176 of the user terminal 10 performs the charging process, the ticket sales server 20 displays the target electronic ticket. It is transmitted to the user terminal 10.

  Further, when the user purchases an electronic ticket, the ticket sales server 20 transmits the ticket ID and the authentication code for identifying the purchased electronic ticket to the venue management server 30.

[Configuration of venue management server 30]
The venue management server 30 is a computer installed in an event venue, a facility such as a museum or a movie theater, and includes a communication unit, a storage unit, a control unit, and the like.
The storage unit of the venue management server 30 is provided with a ticket management database (ticket management DB) that records the ticket ID and the authentication code of the electronic ticket purchased by the user. The ticket management DB records information (electronic ticket information) regarding electronic tickets for events and facilities managed by the venue management server 30 and which have already been purchased by the user.
That is, when an electronic ticket is purchased at the user terminal 10, the ticket sales server 20 sends the electronic ticket to the user terminal 10 and also corresponds to the purchased electronic ticket to the venue management server 30. Send electronic ticket information. The venue management server 30 records the electronic ticket information transmitted from the ticket sales server 20 in the ticket management DB.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the venue management server 30 is communicatively connected to an authentication device 301 provided at an entrance / exit gate where a user who purchases an electronic ticket enters the facility. The authentication device 301 includes a contactless communication device. The non-contact communication device may be, for example, an image sensor such as a code scanner that reads an authentication code (QR code or the like) displayed on the display 12 of the user terminal 10, and may be, for example, NFC or FeliCa (registered trademark). It may be a non-contact communication sensor. By holding the user terminal 10 on which the electronic ticket is recorded over the non-contact communication device, short-range wireless communication is performed with the second communication unit 112 of the user terminal 10, and information necessary for authentication such as a ticket ID of the electronic ticket is displayed. To receive.
Then, the control unit of the venue management server 30 determines whether or not the electronic ticket detected by the authentication device is recorded in the ticket management DB, and the use date / time information matches the current date / time, Opening and closing gates are managed.
Here, an example in which the control unit of the venue management server 30 performs opening / closing management is described, but the authentication device 301 is configured by a computer independent of the venue management server 30, and the authentication device 301 performs opening / closing management. Good.

Further, when the operation of the drive unit of the user terminal is restricted at a predetermined position in the facility, the AP 302 is provided at a predetermined position where the operation is restricted or an area centered on the position. The AP 302 may be a single unit or a plurality of APs may be provided. Identification information (for example, SSID) for identifying each AP 302 is set.
Here, when the AP 302 detects the position restricted area of the user and restricts the operation of the drive unit, the identification information and the installation position of each AP 302 are recorded in the restriction condition of the user terminal 10. When the process of searching for the AP 302 is performed in the user terminal 10 in the venue and the radio wave from each AP 302 is received, the distance between the user terminal 10 and each AP 302 can be calculated according to the radio wave intensity, and the user terminal 10 The position of the user terminal 10 in the facility can be specified from the distance relationship with each AP 302. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which each AP 302 is connected to the venue management server 30, each AP 302 does not necessarily need to be connected to the venue management server 30.

[Information processing method]
Next, an information processing method in the user terminal 10 in the electronic ticket system 1 as described above will be described.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart related to the purchase of an electronic ticket by the user terminal 10 according to this embodiment.
In FIG. 3, when the user operates the user terminal 10 in which the ticket management program is installed to access a predetermined ticket sales server 20, the user terminal 10 sells electronic tickets to the ticket sales server 20. A guidance request is sent requesting guidance. When the ticket sales server 20 receives the guidance request, the ticket sales server 20 transmits to the user terminal 10 the guidance content for guiding the electronic tickets that can be sold.
Upon receiving the guidance content from the ticket sales server 20, the user terminal 10 displays the guidance content on the display 12 (step S10).

In this guide content, it is possible to search for an electronic ticket corresponding to a predetermined keyword or category by a user operation. Further, the ticket sales server 20 accumulates history information such as past search history of the user terminal 10, search history by other users, purchase history of tickets and the like, and the user is based on these history information. The recommended electronic ticket may be extracted and displayed in the guidance content.
Then, when an operation to select a predetermined electronic ticket in the guide content is performed on the user terminal 10, the user terminal 10 displays the detailed content content of the electronic ticket.

FIG. 4 is an example of detailed content content of an electronic ticket.
As shown in FIG. 4, the detailed content content allows the user to freely set the detailed content of the electronic ticket.
For example, the example shown in FIG. 4 is the detailed content content 50 of the electronic ticket regarding the entrance to the live event, and the use date selection column 51 for selecting the use date, the seat selection column 52 for selecting the seat position, and the limiting condition are selected. A condition selection field 53 is provided.
In addition, the detailed content content includes an amount display section 54 that changes according to the content selected in each of the selection fields 51, 52, and 53, and a purchase button 55 for purchasing an electronic ticket.
In the example shown in FIG. 4, a usage date selection field 51, a seat selection field 52, etc. are provided, and moving images, photographs, and recordings can be selected as the condition selection field 53, but these can be selected. The setting contents differ depending on the usage target of each electronic ticket. For example, in the electronic ticket for admission to the museum, the use date selection field 51 and the seat selection field 52 may not be provided, and the recording of the limiting condition of the condition selection field 53 may not be provided. Further, the items set in the limiting condition may be different for each electronic ticket.

When the user presses the purchase button 55 after the ticket setting contents such as the usage date selection field 51, the seat selection field 52, and the condition selection field 53 are selected on the user terminal 10, the user terminal 10 selects A purchase request indicating that the set contents and the electronic ticket are to be purchased is transmitted to the ticket sales server 20 (step S11).
As a result, the ticket sales server 20 transmits to the user terminal 10 a payment guidance page that guides payment related to the electronic ticket. Then, in the user terminal 10, when the user inputs an operation to perform payment, the payment processing unit 176 executes the payment process (step S12). It should be noted that the settlement process in step S13 can use a known technique, and may be a payment by bank transfer, a payment using a credit card, or a communication charge to the mobile phone company. It may be a so-called carrier payment in which money is paid by using the above method.
After that, when the ticket sales server 20 receives the user payment information indicating that the user has paid money from the payment institution, for example, the ticket sales server 20 transmits the electronic ticket to the user terminal 10. Accordingly, the ticket receiving unit 171 of the user terminal 10 receives the electronic ticket from the ticket sales server 20 and records the received electronic ticket in the purchase ticket DB 16A (step S13).

Next, the operation of the user terminal 10 when the user enters the facility using the electronic ticket will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an information processing method of the user terminal 10 when using the electronic ticket.
When the user who owns the user terminal 10 visits the facility to be used for the electronic ticket, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 first determines whether or not the user has entered the facility (step S21).
For example, when the user enters the facility, the user causes the display 12 to display the authentication code of the electronic ticket to be used, and causes the authentication code scanner included in the authentication device 301 provided at the entrance / exit gate to read the authentication code. As a result, the authentication code is transmitted from the authentication device 301 to the venue management server 30, and the venue management server 30 determines whether the electronic ticket corresponding to the authentication code is recorded from the ticket management DB stored in the storage unit. judge. Further, when the corresponding electronic ticket is recorded, the venue management server 30 determines whether or not the use date / time information of the electronic ticket matches the date / time (current date / time) when the authentication code is read by the authentication device 301. To judge. Then, the venue management server 30 authenticates the admission permission information that permits admission to the facility when the electronic ticket corresponding to the authentication code is recorded in the ticket management DB and the use date and time match the current date and time. The device 301 transmits to the user terminal 10 to open the entrance / exit gate.
Upon receiving the entrance permission information from the authentication device 301, the user terminal 10 determines Yes in step S21, that is, detects the entrance of the user into the facility.

When it is determined Yes in step S21, the condition extracting unit 172 reads the limiting condition included in the electronic ticket to be used (step S22).
Then, the drive restriction unit 175 starts monitoring the operation of each drive unit of the user terminal 10 based on the read restriction conditions (step S23).

Specifically, if the restriction condition read in step S22 includes a condition for designating a restricted area in the facility, the position detection unit 174 starts position detection.
When the operation of the drive unit is restricted at a specific position in the facility, a method for specifying the position of the user terminal is recorded as a restriction condition. For example, the identification information of the AP 302 installed in a place where the operation of the driving unit in the facility is restricted, the radio wave intensity for starting the restriction, etc. are recorded in the radio wave range where the beacon from the AP 302 reaches. In this case, the position detection unit 174 detects the identification information of the beacon output from the AP 302 and the electric wave (signal) intensity thereof, and determines whether the user has entered the position range (restricted region) where the driving of the driving unit is restricted. To determine.
The position of the user may be specified based on the beacons from the plurality of APs 302, and in this case, the position restricted area of the user can be detected more accurately.
For example, as a restriction condition, in the adjacent first position range and second position range, shooting of a still image in the first position range is permitted, and shooting of a still image in the second position range is prohibited. The case where the content of the restriction is recorded is illustrated. In such a case, even in the first position range, since it is close to the boundary with the second position range, it may be possible to photograph an exhibit in the second position range. On the other hand, when the position detection unit 174 detects the position using the plurality of APs 302, the signal strength of the beacon from the APs 302 installed in the second position range is not less than the predetermined value even in the first position range. In some cases, it is possible to make settings such as prohibiting shooting of a still image, and to set the drive permission range and drive limit range of the drive unit in more detail.
Further, when a plurality of APs 302 are provided so as to cover a large facility site, the position detection unit 174 can grasp where the user is located within the facility site.

When the drive permission period for permitting the operation of the drive unit and the drive permission period for limiting the operation of the drive unit are recorded in the limit condition read in step S22, the drive limit unit 175 determines whether the drive limit period is satisfied. Monitor elapsed time.
For example, in the case where a predetermined period is set as the drive permission period or the drive limit period with reference to the entrance timing as the restriction content, the drive restriction unit 175 causes the entrance / exit detection unit 173 to access the user's facility in step S21. The time elapsed from the timing of detecting the entrance is counted.
As the content of the limitation, when the user has entered the predetermined restricted area with a predetermined elapsed period as the drive permission period or the drive limited period, the drive limiting unit 175 detects the position detecting unit 174. The elapsed time from the timing at which the user's position enters the restricted area is counted.
When the time to start the operation restriction of the drive unit and the time to release the operation restriction of the drive unit are recorded as the content of the restriction, the drive restriction unit 175 monitors the current date and time.

When the drive amount of the drive unit is recorded under the limit condition read in step S22, the drive limit unit 175 monitors the drive amount of the drive unit. For example, when the permitted number of still images is recorded as the limitation content, the drive limitation unit 175 counts the number of still images photographed by the operation of the camera 13 and recorded in the storage unit 16. Alternatively, when the drive permission time for permitting the moving image or the recording is recorded as the content of the limitation, the drive limiting unit 175 records or records the moving image by the operation of the camera 13 or the audio input / output unit 14 and records it in the storage unit 16. It counts the total recording time of videos and recorded data.
As described above, when the restriction content includes the position condition and the time condition, the drive restriction unit 175 monitors the drive amount within the restriction region and the restriction time.
In addition, when the user deletes the still image, the moving image, and the recorded data recorded by the operation of the drive unit while the user is located in the facility, the drive limiting unit 175 sets the drive amount corresponding to the deleted data to It may be subtracted from the counted driving amount. Further, when the data is deleted, whether or not to subtract the driving amount corresponding to the deletion from the counted driving amount may be recorded in the limiting condition.

After that, the drive restriction unit 175 determines whether or not a drive request for operating the drive unit has been input by a user operation (step S24).
That is, it is determined whether or not a predetermined application program is executed by the user operation and the application program has accessed the drive unit. Examples of the predetermined application program include a still image shooting program that accesses the camera 13 to shoot a still image and records still image data in the storage unit 16, and accesses the camera 13 and the audio input / output unit 14 to create a moving image. Examples of the program include a moving image shooting program for shooting the image and recording moving image data in the storage unit 16 and a recording program for accessing the audio input / output unit 14 to record voice and recording the recorded data in the storage unit 16.

When it is determined as Yes in step S24, the drive limiting unit 175 determines whether or not the limiting condition is met (step S25).
For example, when it is recorded in the restriction condition that all the operations of the driving unit in the facility are prohibited, the driving restriction unit 175 determines Yes in step S25 regardless of the position of the user, the current date and time, or the like. To do.
When the position information for restricting the drive of the drive unit is recorded in the restriction condition, and the position of the user (user terminal 10) detected by the position detection unit 174 is within the restriction region, the drive restriction unit 175 executes the step. In S25, Yes is determined.
When the driving permission period or the driving limitation period is recorded in the limiting condition, or when the time or the current date and time when the counting is started in step S23 is outside the driving permission period or the driving limitation period, the driving limitation unit 175. Determines Yes in step S25.
When the drive amount of the drive unit is recorded in the limiting condition, and when the drive amount of the drive unit after the count is started in step S23 exceeds the allowed drive amount, Yes in step S25. To determine.
When a plurality of conditions that limit the operation of the drive unit are recorded in the limiting condition, and when these plurality of conditions are satisfied, it is determined as Yes in step S25.

When it is determined as Yes in step S25, the drive restriction unit 175 records whether or not the drive condition that exceeds the limit condition is permitted to be driven by the pay-per-use system within the limit condition read in step S22. It is determined (step S26).
When it is determined to be Yes in step S26, the drive restriction unit 175 allows the operation of the drive unit to operate the drive unit, and performs the charging process according to the drive amount (excessive drive amount) that exceeds the limit condition. (Step S27). At this time, the drive restriction unit 175 may display on the display 12 that charging will occur, and when the user performs an operation to allow charging, the drive restriction unit 175 may perform operation permission of the driving unit and charging processing. . In the billing process, the drive restriction unit 175 counts the excess drive amount, and the payment processing unit 176 performs the payment process of the amount according to the excess drive amount.

  When it is determined No in step S26, the drive restriction unit 175 does not operate the drive unit that is the restriction target recorded in the restriction condition (step S28). That is, the drive restriction unit 175 prohibits access to the camera 13 and the voice input / output unit 14 by another application installed in the user terminal 10.

On the other hand, when the drive limiting unit 175 determines No in step S25, access to the drive unit by the predetermined application program is permitted (step S29). As a result, the drive unit such as the camera 13 and the audio input / output unit 14 is driven under the control of the application program, and the still image, the moving image, the recorded data, and the like are recorded in the storage unit 16.
When the drive restriction unit 175 permits the operation of the driving unit in step S27 or step S29, the digital watermark inserting unit 177 inserts the digital watermark into the generated still image, moving image, recorded data, or the like. To do. By inserting such a digital watermark, for example, when a photographed work is published on the Internet, it becomes easy to identify the person who has published the work, which has a deterrent effect on unauthorized disclosure.

When it is determined No in step S24, or after the process of any of steps S27 to S29 is performed, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 determines whether or not the user has exited the facility (step S24). S30).
The detection of the exit of the user by the entrance / exit detection unit 173 can be exemplified by the same process as the detection of the entrance of the user to the facility in step S21. For example, when the user leaves the facility, the user causes the display 12 to display the authentication code of the electronic ticket to be used, and causes the code scanner included in the authentication device 301 provided at the entrance / exit gate to read the code. As a result, the venue management server 30 records the exited flag in the electronic ticket of the ticket management DB corresponding to the authentication code. Then, the venue management server 30 transmits the exit confirmation information indicating that the exit from the facility has been detected from the authentication device 301 to the user terminal 10. Upon receiving the exit confirmation information from the authentication device 301, the user terminal 10 determines that the user has exited the facility.
Further, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 may determine whether or not the user has left the facility based on the position of the user identified by the position detection unit 174. In this case, when the user re-enters the facility, the operation of the drive unit of the user terminal 10 can be restricted by returning to step S22 again.
If No is determined in step S30, the process returns to step S24.
When it is determined to be Yes in step S30, the drive restriction unit 175 releases all restrictions on the operation of the drive unit (step S31).

[Operation and effect of this embodiment]
In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10, which is a computer, includes a ticket receiving unit 171 that receives an electronic ticket that allows a user to enter a predetermined facility, an entry / exit detection unit 173 that detects an entry of the user to the facility, and A ticket management program that functions as a drive restriction unit 175 that restricts the operation of the drive unit when the entrance / exit detection unit 173 detects the entrance of the user to the facility is recorded in the user terminal 10. Thereby, the user terminal 10 functions as the ticket receiving unit 171, the entrance / exit detection unit 173, and the drive restriction unit 175 by reading and executing the ticket management program by the control unit 17, and the user who has downloaded the electronic ticket. When a user who has a terminal enters a facility such as an event, the operation of the drive unit in the facility is limited, and, for example, shooting and recording of copyrighted works in the facility can be limited.
In this case, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to transmit the packet including the function restriction information for restricting the operation of the driving unit of the user terminal 10 from the AP 302 installed in the facility such as an event, and the AP 302 on the facility side is not required. It is possible to reduce the labor and cost for installing the. Further, the communication connection between the user terminal 10 and the AP 302 installed in the facility does not have to be established, and the limitation of the drive unit of the user terminal 10 can be appropriately controlled.

  In the ticket management program of the present embodiment, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 of the user terminal 10 receives the admission permission information indicating that admission to the facility is permitted from the contactless communication device provided in the facility, so that the facility Detect the entrance of. With such a configuration, when the user enters the facility, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the electronic ticket is recorded in the user terminal by simply holding the user terminal having the electronic ticket over the non-contact communication device. Further, if it is determined whether or not the user has entered the facility using a position detection sensor such as a GPS device, for example, it can be detected that the user is located in the facility only by being located in the area around the facility. There is. On the other hand, in this embodiment, erroneous detection can be suppressed by detecting the entrance of the user to the facility by the non-contact communication device.

In the present embodiment, the electronic ticket includes a limiting condition that limits the operation of the driving unit in the facility, and the driving limiting unit 175 limits the operation of the driving unit based on the limiting condition. As a result, the operation of the drive unit can be appropriately restricted according to the characteristics of each facility and the characteristics of the copyrighted works and exhibits exhibited in the facility.
Here, the ticket management program of the present embodiment causes the user terminal 10 to function also as the position detection unit 174 that detects the position in the facility. When the restriction condition includes a restricted area in the facility, the drive restriction unit 175 determines that the position of the user terminal 10 detected by the position detection unit 174 is within the restricted area specified by the restriction condition. Limit the operation of the drive. As a result, it is possible to appropriately limit the operation of the drive unit at a specific position in the facility. For example, by restricting the operation of the drive unit only at a specific position and allowing the operation of the drive unit at other positions, it is possible to suppress unnecessary operation restrictions and improve user satisfaction. And, it is possible to properly protect the copyrighted work published in the facility.

  In addition, when the drive condition of the drive unit (that is, the number of captured still images, the shooting time of a moving image, etc.) is included as the limiting condition, the drive limiting unit 175 allows the drive unit to operate up to the drive permission amount, Further operation of the drive unit is prohibited. There may be cases where advertising effects can be expected by allowing only a certain amount of shooting or recording in the works published at the facility. In the present embodiment, by setting the drive permission amount as described above, the operation of the drive unit can be permitted to such an extent that the advertising effect can be expected.

  In addition, when the limiting condition includes a driving permission period for permitting the operation of the driving unit or a driving limitation period for limiting the operation of the driving unit, the driving limiting unit 175 determines whether the driving limitation period is within the driving permission period or outside the driving limitation period. Then, the operation of the drive unit is permitted, and the operation of the drive unit is limited outside the drive permission period or within the drive limitation period. As described above, in a copyrighted work published in a facility, shooting and recording may be permitted only for a certain period of time, and an advertising effect may be expected. In the present embodiment, the operation of the drive unit is permitted outside the drive permission period or the drive limit period, and the operation of the drive unit is prohibited during the other period, so that the advertising and advertising effect and the authorship are the same as above. It is possible to achieve compatibility with protection of objects.

Here, in the present embodiment, the drive limiting unit 175 determines whether or not a limiting condition is met when a driving request is input by a user operation, and when the driving request is input, the driving limiting unit 175 controls the driving unit by a predetermined application software. Access is prohibited and the drive unit is disabled.
As a result, when the limiting condition is met, the drive unit is completely locked, and it is possible to prevent the user from shooting or recording the copyrighted work.

In addition, when the drive request is input, the drive limiting unit 175 detects the drive amount of the drive unit (excessive drive amount) when the drive request is input, and the settlement processing unit 176 determines the amount of money according to the excess drive amount. The operation of the drive unit may be suppressed by executing the charging process.
In this case, when the user operates the drive unit, the user needs to pay money according to the excessive drive amount of the drive unit. Therefore, the input of the drive request by the user can be suppressed.

Then, when the entrance / exit detection unit 173 detects the exit of the user from the facility, the drive restriction unit 175 releases all the restrictions on the operation of the drive unit.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the operation of the drive unit is limited by the user entering the facility as a trigger. Thereafter, the operation of the drive unit remains restricted until the user's exit is detected, and the user terminal 10 cannot be used normally. On the other hand, when the user leaves the facility, the function of the user terminal 10 is not hindered because the operation restriction of the drive unit is released by using the exit as a trigger. As a result, the operation of the drive unit of the user terminal 10 can be properly restricted only within the facility.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the first embodiment, the user terminal 10 receives the admission permission information from the authentication device and detects the admission of the user to the facility when the user enters the facility to be used for the electronic ticket. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a deposit is imposed when the user enters the facility, and a refund is given when the user leaves the facility.

  The user terminal 10 of this embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and the control unit 17 reads out and executes the ticket management program (information processing program) stored in the storage unit 16. As a result, the control unit 17, like the first embodiment, the ticket receiving unit 171, the condition extracting unit 172, the entrance / exit detecting unit 173, the position detecting unit 174, the drive limiting unit 175, the settlement processing unit 176, and the electronic watermark. It functions as the insertion portion 177 and the like.

Here, in the present embodiment, the payment processing unit 176 also functions as a deposit processing unit and a refund processing unit. Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the determination in step S21 shown in FIG. 5 is Yes, that is, when the entrance / exit detection unit 173 detects the entrance of the user to the facility, the payment processing unit 176 determines that , Performs a billing process for paying a deposit to a predetermined billing destination.
Then, in step S30, when the entrance / exit detection unit 173 detects the exit from the user's facility, the payment processing unit 176 sends a refund request for a refund of the deposit amount at the time of admission. Make a request to the payee. At this time, in step S30, the payment processing unit 176 transmits the refund request only when the ticket management program is not deleted (uninstalled) from the user terminal in the operation history of the user terminal 10 after entering the facility. In other words, if the ticket management program has been uninstalled, the deposit record when the user enters the facility is erased, and when the user leaves the facility, the deposit cannot be refunded.

In the present embodiment as described above, while the user is in the facility, the ticket management program that restricts the operation of the driving unit is uninstalled, and the copyrighted work published in the facility is photographed or recorded without permission. It is possible to suppress fraud and the like.
At this time, if the ticket management program is not uninstalled, the user can receive a refund of the deposit paid at the time of entry when leaving, so the deposit amount may be set to a relatively high price. The higher the deposit amount, the greater the effect of suppressing fraud of uninstalling the ticket management program and operating the drive unit.

[Modification]
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and also includes the following modifications within a range in which the object of the present invention can be achieved.

[Modification 1]
In the above embodiment, the position detection unit 174 detects the position of the user terminal 10 (user) in the facility based on the beacon output from the AP 302 connected to the Internet via the router (not shown). Although shown, it is not limited to this.
For example, the position detection unit 174 may detect the position of the user by calculating the latitude and longitude based on satellite signals such as GPS signals. Further, the position of the user may be detected by both positioning using the AP 302 and positioning using satellite signals.
[Modification 2]
In the embodiment described above, the user terminal 10 receives the admission permission information from the authentication device 301 by holding the user terminal recording the electronic ticket over the contactless communication device of the authentication device 301, and the entrance / exit detection unit 173 notifies the user of the user. An example of detecting entrance to the facility has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 may acquire the entrance permission information by performing short-distance communication with a terminal device included in the management staff of the facility. Further, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 may detect the entrance of the user to the facility when the current position of the user terminal detected by the position detection unit 174 moves to the facility for which the electronic ticket is used.
Further, the entrance detection method by the entrance / exit detection unit 173 may be individually set depending on the facility for which the electronic ticket is used. In this case, for example, the confirmation method of the electronic ticket is recorded as the unique information (facility unique information) regarding the facility of the electronic ticket. Thereby, the entrance / exit detection unit 173 can change the entrance / exit detection method of the user for each facility based on the facility unique information.

[Modification 3]
In the second embodiment, an example has been shown in which a deposit is imposed when a user enters the facility and refund processing is performed when the user exits when there is no uninstall history of the ticket management program.
On the other hand, a ticket management program (information processing program) as described above is used as a reference program (for example, an installation program used when purchasing and installing an application program or the like) for implementing the reference function provided by the OS. May function as. These standard programs are pre-installed in the user terminal 10 and are basically set so that they cannot be uninstalled. If it is uninstalled, the user terminal 10 will not operate normally, and there is a high possibility that it will be inconvenient for the user. Therefore, by using such a reference program as the ticket management program, it is possible to prevent the ticket management program from being uninstalled by a user operation.

  For example, when the installation program is made to function as a ticket management program, deleting the installation program causes inconveniences such as deletion of the download history of application programs purchased by the user in the past. It is possible to suppress the uninstall operation.

[Modification 4]
In the second embodiment, when the user leaves the facility, the payment processing unit 176 of the user terminal 10 transmits a refund request for requesting a refund of the deposit amount to the charging destination to which the deposit upon admission has been remitted. . At this time, the payment processing unit 176 may request a predetermined privilege in addition to refunding the deposit. This privilege may be, for example, additional money, the right to receive a discount when the next electronic ticket is purchased, or points equivalent to money.
In addition, even if the user does not charge a deposit when entering the facility, when the user leaves the facility and there is no operation history in which the ticket management program has been uninstalled, the predetermined privilege as described above is provided. You may perform the process which gives.
As described above, the ticket management program can be prevented from being uninstalled by the user by granting the privilege on the condition that there is no history of uninstalling the ticket management program by the user operation.

[Modification 5]
In the above-described embodiment, when it is recorded that the charging process based on the amount-based charging system is performed, the drive limiter 175 makes a payment according to the drive amount at the timing when overdriving of the drive unit is detected. Although the example in which the processing is performed is shown, the timing of the charging processing by the pay-per-use charging is not limited to the above.
For example, it may be after the user leaves the facility (after it is determined as Yes in step S30). In this case, the drive restriction unit 175 counts the excessive drive amount while the user is in the facility, and causes the settlement processing unit 176 to perform the settlement process of the amount corresponding to the total excess drive amount.
At this time, when the user deletes the still image, the moving image, and the recorded data in the facility, the deleted data amount may be subtracted from the count amount of the overdriving amount. In this case, even if the generated data cannot be leaked via the Internet or stored in an external data server (cloud), the communication unit 11 is restricted and communication by the communication unit 11 is prohibited at all. Good. As a result, the user can select only still images, moving images, and recorded data that he / she likes within the range of the drive amount of the permitted drive unit, and the satisfaction of the user who uses the electronic ticket system 1 is also improved. To do.

[Modification 6]
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the generation of the still image, the moving image, and the recorded data is restricted by using the camera 13 and the audio input / output unit 14 of the user terminal 10 as the driving unit has been described. It is not limited to the above. For example, the use of light sources may be restricted in facilities such as movie theaters and planetariums. In this case, it suffices that the restriction condition is set such that the inside of the hall in the planetarium is the restricted area and the display 12 and the lights are the drive units to be restricted.
When using a transportation ticket for the Shinkansen or the like as an electronic ticket, calls may be permitted on the deck in the train or at the platform of the station, and calls in the cabin of the train may be prohibited. In this case, the electronic ticket may include a restriction condition in which the passenger compartment of the train such as the bullet train is set as the restricted area and the microphone and the speaker of the voice input / output unit 14 are set as the drive units to be restricted. In an aircraft or the like, the drive unit to be restricted may be the communication unit 11 that emits radio waves from the user terminal 10.
Further, the operation unit 15 may be a drive unit to be restricted. For example, when the test taker takes the test, the test voucher may be received as an electronic ticket at the entrance of the test site, and the test voucher may record a restriction condition in which the operation unit 15 and the display 12 are drive units to be restricted. .

  Besides, the specific structure and procedure for carrying out the present invention can be appropriately changed to other structures and the like within a range in which the object of the present invention can be achieved.
