At this time, the automatic ticket gate 14 on the entrance side encrypts the determination result of admission permission using the communication encryption key distributed from the host device 13 in advance and transmits it to the mobile terminal device 11.

  Further, the entrance-side automatic ticket gate device 14 transmits the entrance information (determination result of admission, boarding ticket information, etc.) at this time to the host device 13. Also in this case, the entrance-side automatic ticket gate device 14 encrypts the entrance information using the communication encryption key distributed from the host device 13 in advance and transmits it to the host device 13.

  The mobile terminal device 11 receives the determination result of admission permission transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 14 on the entrance side, decrypts the received determination result of admission permission, and associates it with the corresponding ticket information to store the memory 28. (Stored) (step S26).

  Next, the entrance process when the ticket information is held in the entrance-side automatic ticket gate device 14 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The user activates the ticket gate application in the portable terminal device 11 possessed, thereby converting the user ID in the user ID area 28a of the memory 28 into a QR code and displaying the QR code on the display unit 22. The QR code is put on the bar code reader 46 of the automatic ticket gate 14 on the entrance side (step S31).

  The automatic ticket gate 14 on the entrance side reads the QR code trapped by the barcode reader 46, and based on the read QR code, identification information for medium-range wireless communication (in this embodiment, wireless LAN identification ID ( ESS-ID)) is generated, and medium-range wireless communication with the mobile terminal device 11 that has read the QR code is set using the generated identification information for medium-range wireless communication (step S32).

  Next, the automatic ticket gate 14 on the entrance side searches for the ticket information having the corresponding user ID from the ticket information (express ticket information) held in the internal memory 47a based on the read QR code. Then, it is determined whether or not to participate using the searched ticket information (step S33).

  Next, the entrance-side automatic ticket gate device 14 transmits the ticket information (express ticket information) including the determination result of admission permission to the portable terminal device 11 (step S34). At this time, the automatic ticket gate 14 on the entrance side encrypts the ticket information including the determination result of admission using the communication encryption key distributed from the host device 13 in advance and transmits it to the mobile terminal device 11.

  Further, the entrance-side automatic ticket gate device 14 transmits the entrance information (determination result of admission, boarding ticket information, etc.) at this time to the host device 13. Also in this case, the entrance-side automatic ticket gate device 14 encrypts the entrance information using the communication encryption key distributed from the host device 13 in advance and transmits it to the host device 13.

  The mobile terminal device 11 receives the ticket information including the determination result of the admission permission transmitted from the entrance-side automatic ticket gate device 14, and decodes the received ticket information including the determination result of the admission permission to the memory 28. Is stored (held) (step S35).

  Next, the entry process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The user activates the ticket gate application in the portable terminal device 11 possessed, thereby converting the user ID in the user ID area 28a of the memory 28 into a QR code and displaying the QR code on the display unit 22. The QR code is put on the barcode reader 46 of the automatic ticket gate 15 on the entry side (step S41).

  The automatic ticket gate 15 on the entry side reads the QR code trapped by the barcode reader 46, and based on the read QR code, identification information for medium-range wireless communication (in this embodiment, a wireless LAN identification ID ( ESS-ID)) is generated, and using the generated identification information for medium distance wireless communication, setting of medium distance wireless communication with the mobile terminal device 11 that has read the QR code is performed (step S42).

  The portable terminal device 11 transmits the ticket information held in the memory 28 and the determination result of admission permission corresponding to the ticket information to the automatic ticket gate 15 on the entry side where the medium distance wireless communication has been set (step S43). . At this time, the portable terminal device 11 encrypts the ticket information and the determination result of admission using the communication encryption key stored in advance in the additional program area 28b of the memory 28, and transmits it to the automatic ticket gate 15 on the entry side. To do.

  The entry-side automatic ticket gate device 15 receives the ticket information and the admission / rejection determination result transmitted from the mobile terminal device 11, and decrypts the received ticket information and admission / rejection determination result to determine whether or not to enter. Is performed (step S44).

  Next, the automatic ticket gate 15 on the participation side transmits a determination result of whether or not to participate to the mobile terminal device 11 (step S45). At this time, the automatic ticket gate 15 on the participation side encrypts the determination result of whether or not to participate using the communication encryption key distributed from the host device 13 in advance, and transmits the result to the mobile terminal device 11.

  The automatic ticket gate 15 on the participation side transmits the participation information at this time (judgment determination result, ticket information, etc.) to the host device 13. Also in this case, the entry-side automatic ticket gate device 15 encrypts the entry information using the communication encryption key distributed from the host device 13 in advance and transmits it to the host device 13.

  The mobile terminal device 11 receives the determination result of participation permission transmitted from the automatic ticket gate 15 on the participation side, decodes the received determination result of participation permission, and associates it with the corresponding ticket information to store the memory 28. (Stored) (step S46).

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the user ID is converted into a QR code and passed to the station service device (automatic ticket vending machine, automatic ticket gate), and the received station service device is connected using the user ID. Mobile terminal device that does not have an IC card function by identifying the mobile terminal device to be used and performing ticket gate processing by exchanging ticket information and the like with station service equipment through medium-range wireless communication (wireless LAN) The ticket gate processing can be performed by using the mid-range wireless communication function provided in the apparatus.

  Conventionally, a wireless LAN is a medium-distance wireless communication and is not suitable for a ticket gate system that performs processing by specifying a person, so a system that performs short-range wireless communication such as Felica (registered trademark) has been used. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the user ID is converted into a QR code and transferred to a station service device (automatic ticket vending machine, automatic ticket gate device), and the received station service device connects using the user ID. By identifying the device, it is possible to prevent communication with a mobile terminal device other than the user using the station service device, so that the station service device does not misrecognize the mobile terminal device to be processed. The mobile terminal device and the station service device can communicate with each other by medium-range wireless communication (wireless LAN).

In the above-described embodiment, the case where a two-dimensional barcode (QR code) is used as barcode information has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the case where a one-dimensional barcode is used is also applicable. .
