The service server (200) transmits the detected reservation information to the registered card issuing device (300). At this time, the service server 200 may transmit the user information together with the reservation information to confirm the reservation of the user.

The ticketing apparatus 300 displays the reservation information (and user information) received from the service server 200 on the screen (S220). That is, the ticketing device 300 displays the reservation information received from the service server 200 on the screen, and requests the user to confirm and settle the reservation. At this time, the ticketing apparatus 300 may display the user information together with the reservation information on the screen.

The ticketing apparatus 300 processes settlement of the displayed reservation information (S230). That is, the card issuing device 300 receives payment information from the user terminal 100 and processes payment for the reservation information, receives a card or cash from the user, and processes payment for the reservation information.

The ticketing apparatus 300 issues a ticket corresponding to the reservation information that has been processed (S240). When the payment for the reservation information is completed, the ticketing device (300) issues the ticket.

As described above, in the ticketing system and method using a beacon, a beacon signal received at a user terminal is transmitted to a service server, and a service server transmits reservation information associated with the user terminal to a ticketing device corresponding to a beacon signal, By issuing ticketing, the waiting time for ticketing of a ticket can be minimized even in a period in which the number of service users is rapidly increasing.

The beaconing system and method using a beacon transmit a beacon signal received from a user terminal to a service server and transmit a reservation information associated with a user terminal to a ticketing device corresponding to a beacon signal in a service server to issue a ticket, It is not required to input the authentication information such as the resident registration number, the card number, the reservation number, and the like, and it is possible to prevent the leakage of the personal information and the complaints of the service user due to the authentication information input.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but many variations and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It will be understood that the invention may be practiced.
