L'invention s'applique en particulier, mais de façon non limitative à la distribution de tickets de transport électroniques.The invention applies in particular, but in a non-limiting manner to the distribution of electronic transport tickets.

Ainsi, d'une façon très avantageuse, le système et le procédé de distribution de tickets électroniques selon l'invention permettent d'enregistrer, dans une liste, une pluralité de tickets électroniques, le ticket électronique fourni ou délivré à un support de tickets électroniques donné étant sélectionné dans la liste à partir d'un identifiant du support.Thus, in a very advantageous manner, the system and the electronic ticket dispensing method according to the invention make it possible to record, in a list, a plurality of electronic tickets, the electronic ticket supplied or delivered to an electronic ticket support. given being selected in the list from an identifier of the medium.

L'invention permet ainsi de réduire les interactions entre l'utilisateur et la borne.The invention thus makes it possible to reduce the interactions between the user and the terminal.

En effet, très avantageusement, la liste de tickets électroniques en attente permet de décorréler le paiement d'un ticket électronique de sa distribution, si bien que le temps d'attente au moment de l'obtention du ticket électronique est excessivement réduit.Indeed, very advantageously, the list of electronic tickets waiting to decorrelate the payment of an electronic ticket of its distribution, so that the waiting time at the time of obtaining the electronic ticket is excessively reduced.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation, le ticket électronique est généré à partir de l'identifiant du support, la borne et le procédé de distribution selon l'invention étant aptes à rechercher dans la liste de tickets électroniques, le ou les tickets générés à partir de l'identifiant de support compris dans la requête émise par un support.In a particular embodiment, the electronic ticket is generated from the identifier of the support, the terminal and the distribution method according to the invention being able to search the list of electronic tickets, the ticket or tickets generated from the support identifier included in the request issued by a support.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, les supports de tickets électroniques sont des transpondeurs aptes à communiquer sans contact avec la borne pour l'obtention d'un ticket de transport électronique. Ces transpondeurs peuvent être des transpondeurs de type passif utilisant le couplage inductif pour recevoir ou transmettre des données conformément aux technologies sans contact décrites dans les normes IS014443 ou ISO15593.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the electronic ticket holders are transponders able to communicate without contact with the terminal for obtaining an electronic transport ticket. These transponders may be passive type transponders using inductive coupling to receive or transmit data in accordance with the contactless technologies described in IS014443 or ISO15593.

Les supports de tickets électroniques peuvent être constitués par des cartes plastifiées au format ID1 de la norme ISO7816 (54 mm x 85 mm).The electronic ticket holders can be constituted by plastic cards ID1 format of the ISO7816 standard (54 mm x 85 mm).

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation du système selon l'invention, le support de ticket électronique comporte des moyens pour authentifier les tickets électroniques qui lui sont délivrés à partir de données d'authentification générées à partir de l'identifiant de ce support.In a particular embodiment of the system according to the invention, the electronic ticket support comprises means for authenticating the electronic tickets that are issued to it from authentication data generated from the identifier of this medium.

Le support de ticket électronique peut mémoriser l'historique des tickets électroniques qui lui ont été fournis. En variante, seul le dernier ticket électronique est mémorisé dans le support, les autres étant effacés.The electronic ticket holder can memorize the history of the electronic tickets that have been provided to it. As a variant, only the last electronic ticket is stored in the medium, the others being erased.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation, la borne de distribution de tickets électroniques selon l'invention est apte à lire et recevoir un ticket électronique mémorisé dans un support et à permettre l'accès à un service, par exemple à un réseau de transport, après vérification de la validité de ce ticket.In a particular embodiment, the electronic ticket distribution terminal according to the invention is able to read and receive an electronic ticket stored in a medium and to allow access to a service, for example to a transport network, after verification of the validity of this ticket.

L'invention vise aussi un système comportant au moins :

  • une borne de distribution de tickets électroniques telle que mentionnée ci-dessus ;
  • un support de tickets électroniques ; et
  • un serveur apte à obtenir la structure de données précitée à partir d'une base de données d'utilisateurs du système et à fournir cette structure de données à la borne.
The invention also relates to a system comprising at least:
  • an electronic ticket distribution terminal as mentioned above;
  • electronic ticket support; and
  • a server adapted to obtain the aforementioned data structure from a user database of the system and to provide this data structure to the terminal.

La base de données peut par exemple être gérée par un serveur accessible par un site Web auprès duquel l'utilisateur fournit des informations, notamment l'identifiant de son support de tickets électroniques.The database can for example be managed by a server accessible by a website from which the user provides information, including the identifier of its electronic ticket support.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, ce serveur comporte :

  • des premiers moyens de communication aptes à recevoir un message en provenance d'un terminal d'un utilisateur du système, ce message comportant un identifiant de ce terminal et un identifiant d'une borne selon l'invention ;
  • des deuxièmes moyens de communication aptes à obtenir la structure de données précitée à partir de l'identifiant de terminal ;
In a particular embodiment of the invention, this server comprises:
  • first communication means adapted to receive a message from a terminal of a user of the system, this message comprising an identifier of this terminal and an identifier of a terminal according to the invention;
  • second communication means adapted to obtain the aforementioned data structure from the terminal identifier;

le serveur fournissant la structure de données à la borne identifiée par l'identifiant de borne compris dans le message.the server providing the data structure to the terminal identified by the terminal identifier included in the message.

Par exemple, dans ce mode de réalisation, la structure de données peut comporter l'identifiant MSISDN (« Mobile Station ISDN Number », numéro de l'usager connu du public) ou IMSI (« International Mobile Suscriber Identity ») d'une carte de souscription à un réseau téléphonique (carte SIM). Dès lors, lorsque l'utilisateur appelle un numéro correspondant à une borne, en utilisant un téléphone mobile incorporant cette carte SIM, cet appel est traité par le serveur du système selon l'invention ; celui-ci obtient alors, à partir de la base de données, l'identifiant du support de tickets électroniques de l'utilisateur, génère le ticket électronique à partir de cet identifiant, et le met à disposition de l'utilisateur, dans la liste de la borne correspondant au numéro appelé.For example, in this embodiment, the data structure may include the MSISDN identifier ("Mobile Station ISDN Number", the number of the user known to the public) or IMSI ("International Mobile Suscriber Identity") of a card. subscription to a telephone network (SIM card). Therefore, when the user calls a number corresponding to a terminal, using a mobile phone incorporating the SIM card, this call is processed by the system server according to the invention; it then obtains, from the database, the identifier of the electronic ticket holder of the user, generates the electronic ticket from this identifier, and makes it available to the user, in the list of the terminal corresponding to the called number.

On rappelle que l'identifiant IMSI est mémorisé dans la carte SIM, le réseau téléphonique faisant la correspondance entre cet identifiant IMSI et l'identifiant MSISDN communiqué au destinataire.It is recalled that the IMSI identifier is stored in the SIM card, the telephone network making the correspondence between the IMSI identifier and the MSISDN identifier communicated to the recipient.

Très avantageusement, l'utilisateur peut ainsi demander la génération d'un ticket électronique pour une borne, sans être à proximité de la borne, puisqu'il suffit qu'il connaisse le numéro de téléphone associé à cette borne.Very advantageously, the user can thus request the generation of an electronic ticket for a terminal, without being close to the terminal, since it is sufficient that he knows the telephone number associated with this terminal.

Bien entendu, cette phase d'appel n'est pas nécessaire pour la mise en oeuvre de l'invention. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le serveur envoie, à un instant déterminé, par exemple en début de mois, la structure de données à la borne de distribution, pour qu'elle mette à disposition le ticket électronique dans sa liste, la borne étant spécifiée choisie par l'utilisateur dans son profil enregistré dans le site Web.Of course, this call phase is not necessary for the implementation of the invention. In another embodiment, the server sends, at a given moment, for example at the beginning of the month, the data structure to the distribution terminal, so that it makes available the electronic ticket in its list, the terminal being specified by the user in his profile registered in the website.

En variante, il peut aussi s'agir de la dernière borne utilisée suite à un appel téléphonique comme décrit précédemment.Alternatively, it may also be the last terminal used following a phone call as described above.

Préférentiellement, le serveur du système selon l'invention est apte à couper la communication avec le terminal, dès qu'il a obtenu l'identifiant de ce terminal et l'identifiant de la borne, suffisamment tôt pour éviter une facturation de cette communication, par exemple avant que le terminal n'accepte la communication, pendant la phase de sonnerie.Preferably, the server of the system according to the invention is able to cut the communication with the terminal, as soon as it has obtained the identifier of this terminal and the identifier of the terminal, early enough to avoid billing of this communication, for example before the terminal accepts communication, during the ring phase.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, le serveur du système selon l'invention comporte des moyens pour envoyer un message au terminal de l'utilisateur pour lui indiquer que le ticket électronique est disponible auprès de cette borne. L'envoi ou non de ce message, par exemple de type SMS, peut être configuré auprès du site Web précité.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the server of the system according to the invention comprises means for sending a message to the terminal of the user to indicate that the electronic ticket is available from this terminal. The sending or not of this message, for example of SMS type, can be configured with the aforementioned website.

L'utilisateur peut ainsi être prévenu de la disponibilité du ticket.The user can thus be informed of the availability of the ticket.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation de l'invention, la borne selon l'invention envoie au serveur, un message lorsqu'elle a effectivement délivrée le ticket électronique à un utilisateur.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the terminal according to the invention sends the server a message when it has actually delivered the electronic ticket to a user.

Le serveur peut alors au moyen d'un identifiant d'un moyen de paiement de l'utilisateur acquitter le paiement du ticket et envoyer un message de confirmation de paiement au terminal de l'utilisateur.The server can then by means of an identifier of a means of payment of the user pay the ticket payment and send a payment confirmation message to the terminal of the user.

A cet effet, la structure de données enregistrée auprès du site Web peut comporter une pluralité d'éléments à savoir, en plus de l'identifiant de support indispensable, des informations parmi lesquelles :

  • un identifiant de moyen de paiement, par exemple de carte bancaire,
  • un identifiant de terminal par exemple de téléphone mobile ;
  • un mot de passe pour la gestion de son compte ;
  • les paramètres du service pour lequel il souhaite être facturé ; et
  • une durée de validité de ce service (mois, quinzaine, ...).
For this purpose, the data structure registered with the website may comprise a plurality of elements, namely, in addition to the indispensable support identifier, information among which:
  • a means of payment identifier, for example a bank card,
  • a terminal identifier for example a mobile phone;
  • a password for managing his account;
  • the parameters of the service for which it wishes to be billed; and

Description détaillée de l'inventionDetailed description of the invention

L'invention est présentée ici dans le contexte d'une application de transport.The invention is presented here in the context of a transport application.

La figure 1 représente un système 10 de transport conforme à l'invention. The figure 1 represents a transport system 10 according to the invention.

Ce système comporte deux bornes TERM1, TERM2 de transport conforme à l'invention, chacune de ces bornes comportant un lecteur RD apte à communiquer avec un support PT de tickets électroniques de transport.This system comprises two terminals TERM1, TERM2 transport according to the invention, each of these terminals having a reader RD adapted to communicate with a support PT electronic ticket transport.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit ici, ce support PT est constitué par une carte à puce sans contact.In the exemplary embodiment described here, this support PT is constituted by a contactless smart card.

Chacune de ces bornes TERM1, TERM2 est associé à un numéro de téléphone respectivement N-TERM1, N-TERM2, le numéro de téléphone d'une borne étant affichée sur la borne elle-même.Each of these terminals TERM1, TERM2 is associated with a telephone number respectively N-TERM1, N-TERM2, the telephone number of a terminal being displayed on the terminal itself.

Le support PT de tickets de transport électroniques comporte une mémoire non volatile mémorisant un identifiant ID-PT de ce support.The electronic transport ticket holder PT comprises a non-volatile memory storing an ID-PT identifier of this medium.

Les bornes TERM1, TERM2 sont reliées à un réseau de télécommunications auxquels sont également reliés :

  • un premier serveur SRV1 ;
  • un deuxième serveur SRV2 hébergeant un site Web comportant, dans une base de données BD, le profil des utilisateurs du système 10 ; et
  • un serveur bancaire SRV-BK.
Terminals TERM1, TERM2 are connected to a telecommunications network to which are also connected:
  • a first server SRV1;
  • a second server SRV2 hosting a website comprising, in a database BD, the profile of the users of the system 10; and
  • an SRV-BK bank server.

Sur la figure 1, on a également représenté un terminal MP du détenteur du support de transport de tickets électroniques PT, à savoir, dans cet exemple, un téléphone mobile.On the figure 1 a terminal MP of the holder of the electronic ticket transport medium PT is also represented, namely, in this example, a mobile telephone.

Le serveur SRV est apte à mettre en oeuvre un programme d'ordinateur PG-SRV dont les principales étapes C10 à C100 sont représentées à la figure 3 . Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit ici, le serveur SRV comporte un support d'enregistrement, à savoir une mémoire, sur lequel est enregistré ce programme PG-SRV.The server SRV is able to implement a computer program PG-SRV whose main steps C10 to C100 are represented at the figure 3 . In the exemplary embodiment described here, the SRV server comprises a recording medium, namely a memory, on which this PG-SRV program is recorded.

Nous allons maintenant décrire, en référence à la figure 3, un exemple de fonctionnement du système 10 de la figure 1.We will now describe, with reference to the figure 3 , an example of operation of the system 10 of the figure 1 .

Nous supposerons tout d'abord que l'utilisateur détenteur du support de ticket de transport électronique crée son profil auprès du serveur SRV2 en utilisant un terminal apte à communiquer avec le serveur SRV2 via le réseau Internet, ce terminal pouvant notamment être constitué par un téléphone mobile MP ou par un ordinateur personnel non représenté.We will first assume that the user holding the electronic transport ticket holder creates his profile with the SRV2 server using a terminal capable of communicating with the server SRV2 via the Internet, this terminal may in particular be constituted by a mobile phone MP or a personal computer not shown.

Le programme PG-BD mis en oeuvre par ce serveur SRV2 comporte, dans cet exemple, les étapes A10 et A20 représentées à la figure 3.The PG-BD program implemented by this server SRV2 comprises, in this example, the steps A10 and A20 shown in FIG. figure 3 .

L'étape A10 permet de créer le compte de l'utilisateur et d'enregistrer les informations relatives à cet utilisateur autrement dit son profil dans la base de données BD.Step A10 makes it possible to create the account of the user and to record the information relating to this user, in other words his profile in the database BD.

On notera que la création et/ou la mise à jour du profil de l'utilisateur peut être effectuée par l'utilisateur, ou par un tiers, par exemple l'administrateur de la base de donnée BD.It should be noted that the creation and / or update of the user's profile can be carried out by the user, or by a third party, for example the administrator of the database BD.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit ici, ces informations sont structurées selon une structure de données SD représentée à la figure 2 . Elle comporte :

  • l'identifiant ID-PT du support de tickets électroniques PT ;
  • un identifiant ID-MP du téléphone mobile MP de cet utilisateur ;
  • une définition DZ des zones de transport dans lequel circule cet utilisateur ;
  • une durée de validité d'un ticket de transport électronique devant être délivré à cet utilisateur ;
  • un identifiant ID-CV d'une carte bancaire de cet utilisateur enregistrée auprès du serveur bancaire SRV-BK ; et
  • un mot de passe PWD permettant à l'utilisateur de s'authentifier auprès du site Web.
In the exemplary embodiment described here, this information is structured according to a data structure SD represented in FIG. figure 2 . It involves :
  • the ID-PT ID of the electronic ticket holder PT;
  • an ID-MP identifier of the mobile phone MP of this user;
  • a definition DZ of the transport zones in which this user is traveling;
  • a period of validity of an electronic transport ticket to be delivered to this user;
  • an ID-CV identifier of a bank card of this user registered with the bank server SRV-BK; and
  • a PWD password that allows the user to authenticate to the website.

Bien sûr, à tout moment, l'utilisateur peut, après avoir fourni son mot de passe PWD, modifier les informations de son profil.Of course, at any time, the user can, after providing his password PWD, modify the information of his profile.

A la figure 3 :

  • les étapes B10 à B40 sont les étapes d'un programme d'ordinateur PG-MP mis en oeuvre par le téléphone mobile MP ;
  • les étapes D10 à D70 sont les étapes d'un programme d'ordinateur PG-TERM mis en oeuvre par chacune des bornes TERM1, TERM2 ; et
  • les étapes E10 à E30 sont les étapes d'un programme d'ordinateur PG-PT mis en oeuvre par un microprocesseur embarqué dans le support de tickets de transport électroniques PT.
To the figure 3 :
  • steps B10 to B40 are the steps of a PG-MP computer program implemented by the mobile phone MP;
  • steps D10 to D70 are the steps of a PG-TERM computer program implemented by each of terminals TERM1, TERM2; and
  • steps E10 to E30 are the steps of a computer program PG-PT implemented by a microprocessor embedded in the support of electronic transport tickets PT.

Nous supposerons dans cet exemple, que l'utilisateur appelle, au cours d'une étape B10, avec son téléphone mobile MP, le numéro de téléphone N-TERM1 associé à la borne TERM1.We will assume in this example, that the user calls, during a step B10, with his mobile phone MP, the phone number N-TERM1 associated with terminal TERM1.

Ce numéro peut être un numéro gratuit.This number can be a toll free number.

Bien entendu, il n'est pas nécessaire que l'utilisateur soit à proximité de cette borne au moment de cet appel.Of course, it is not necessary for the user to be near this terminal at the time of this call.

Cet appel établit, au cours d'une étape C10, une communication COM1 avec le serveur SRV, par exemple via un réseau de téléphonie mobile. Cette communication peut être établie en mode circuit ou selon le protocole http par exemple.This call establishes, during a step C10, a communication COM1 with the server SRV, for example via a mobile telephone network. This communication can be established in circuit mode or according to the http protocol for example.

De façon connue, le protocole ou la signalisation mise en oeuvre pour l'établissement de la communication permet au serveur SRV d'identifier le téléphone mobile MP appelant ; l'identifiant ID-MP de ce téléphone mobile peut par exemple être constitué par un numéro de téléphone ou par une adresse IP (Internet Protocole).In known manner, the protocol or signaling implemented for the establishment of the communication allows the SRV server to identify the calling mobile phone MP; the ID-MP identifier of this mobile phone can for example be constituted by a telephone number or by an IP address (Internet Protocol).

Sur réception de l'appel, le serveur SRV enregistre, au cours d'une étape C20, l'identifiant ID-MP du téléphone mobile MP dans une mémoire non représentée. Dans le mode de réalisation décrit ici, le serverur SRV enregistre également le numéro N-TERM1 de téléphone de la borne TERM1.Upon receipt of the call, the SRV server records, during a step C20, the ID-MP identifier of the mobile phone MP in a memory not shown. In the embodiment described here, the serverur SRV also records the telephone number N-TERM1 of the terminal TERM1.

Puis, il coupe la communication téléphonique, au cours d'une étape C30, la communication avec le téléphone mobile MP avant que celle-ci ne soit facturée, par exemple pendant l'étape de sonnerie.Then, it cuts the telephone communication, during a step C30, the communication with the mobile phone MP before it is billed, for example during the ringing step.

Le terminal mobile MP relâche la communication de son côté, au cours d'une étape B20.The mobile terminal MP releases the communication on its side, during a step B20.

Puis, au cours d'une étape C40, le serveur SRV envoie au serveur SRV2, une requête comportant l'identifiant ID-MP du téléphone mobile MP (communication COM2). Cette requête est reçue par le serveur SRV2 au cours d'une étape A20. Sur réception de cette requête, le serveur SRV2 recherche dans la base de données BD, une structure de données SD, comportant l'identifiant ID-MP, et renvoie cette structure de données SD au serveur SRV.Then, during a step C40, the server SRV sends to the server SRV2, a request including the ID-MP identifier of the mobile phone MP (communication COM2). This request is received by the server SRV2 during a step A20. Upon receipt of this request, the server SRV2 searches the database BD, a data structure SD, including the identifier ID-MP, and returns this data structure SD to the server SRV.

Au cours d'une étape C50, le serveur SRV envoie (communication COM3) à la borne identifiée par l'identifiant de bornes N-TERM1 reçue de la communication téléphonique COM1 établie précédemment avec le téléphone mobile MP au moins certaines informations comprises dans la structure de données SD, et en particulier l'identifiant ID-PT du support de tickets de transport électroniques de l'utilisateur.During a step C50, the server SRV sends (communication COM3) to the terminal identified by the terminal identifier N-TERM1 received from the telephone call COM1 previously established with the mobile telephone MP at least some information included in the structure SD data, and in particular the ID-PT identifier of the electronic transport ticket holder of the user.

Ces données sont reçues par la borne TERM1 au cours d'une étape D10.These data are received by the terminal TERM1 during a step D10.

Au cours d'une étape D20, la borne TERM1 génère un ticket de transport électronique CP et l'enregistre dans une liste LC.During a step D20, the TERM1 terminal generates an electronic transport ticket CP and saves it in an LC list.

Dans le mode de réalisation décrit ici, la borne SRV génère des données d'authentification du ticket électronique CP, ces données étant vérifiables par le support PT. Ces données d'authentification peuvent par exemple être constituées par une signature cryptographique du ticket électronique calculée avec une clef diversifiée obtenue à partir d'une clef maître et de l'identifiant ID-PT du support.In the embodiment described here, the terminal SRV generates authentication data of the electronic ticket CP, these data being verifiable by the support PT. This authentication data may for example be constituted by a cryptographic signature of the electronic ticket calculated with a diversified key obtained from a master key and the ID-PT identifier of the medium.

La borne TERM1 envoie ensuite un message de confirmation de cet enregistrement au serveur SRV qui le reçoit au cours d'une étape C60.Terminal TERM1 then sends a confirmation message of this record to the SRV server which receives it during a step C60.

Sur réception de ce message, le serveur SRV envoie, au cours d'une étape C70, un message court SMS au téléphone mobile MP, cet SMS étant reçu par le téléphone mobile MP au cours d'une étape B30 (communication COM4).On receipt of this message, the server SRV sends, during a step C70, a short SMS message to the mobile phone MP, this SMS being received by the mobile phone MP during a step B30 (communication COM4).

A cet instant, la borne TERM1 conforme à l'invention comporte, dans sa liste LC, une pluralité de tickets de transport électroniques, chacun ayant été généré à partir de l'identifiant ID-PT d'un support de tickets électroniques.At this time, the TERM1 terminal according to the invention comprises, in its LC list, a plurality of electronic transport tickets, each of which has been generated from the ID-PT identifier of an electronic ticket holder.

Nous allons maintenant supposer que l'utilisateur détenteur du support de tickets de transport électroniques PT se rapproche physiquement de la borne TERM1 pour se faire délivrer son propre ticket de transport électronique.We will now assume that the user holding the electronic transport ticket holder PT physically approaches the terminal TERM1 to get his own electronic transport ticket.

A cet effet, l'utilisateur approche, au cours d'une étape D30, son support PT de tickets de transport électroniques du lecteur RD de la borne TERM1.For this purpose, the user approaches, during a step D30, its support PT electron transport tickets RD drive terminal TERM1.

Il s'établit alors une communication sans contact COM5 entre ces deux entités.It establishes then a communication without contact COM5 between these two entities.

Cette communication COM5 peut être sécurisée par des moyens cryptographiques ; à titre d'exemple, l'identifiant ID-PT du support de tickets de transport électroniques peut comporter une signature, celle-ci étant vérifiée par la borne TERM1 avant de délivrer un ticket.This COM5 communication can be secured by cryptographic means; for example, the ID-PT identifier of the electronic transport ticket holder may include a signature, the latter being verified by the terminal TERM1 before issuing a ticket.

Au cours de cette communication COM5, le support PT transmet, au cours d'une étape E10, son identifiant ID-PT à la borne TERM1, qui le reçoit au cours d'une étape D30.During this communication COM5, the support PT transmits, during a step E10, its identifier ID-PT to the terminal TERM1, which receives it during a step D30.

Puis, au cours d'une étape D40, la borne TERM1 recherche, dans sa liste LC, un ticket électronique CP généré à partir de l'identifiant ID-PT de ce support.Then, during a step D40, the terminal TERM1 searches, in its LC list, an electronic ticket CP generated from the identifier ID-PT of this support.

Au cours d'une étape D50, la borne TERM1 communique ce ticket électronique CP au support PT ; celui-ci l'enregistre dans sa mémoire au cours d'une étape E20.During a step D50, the terminal TERM1 communicates this electronic ticket CP to the support PT; it stores it in its memory during a step E20.

Dans ce mode particulier de réalisation, le ticket électronique CP comporte des données d'authentification, (à savoir par exemple une signature cryptographique) vérifiables par le support PT, le ticket électronique CP n'étant enregistré dans la mémoire qu'en cas de succès de l'authentification.In this particular embodiment, the electronic ticket CP comprises authentication data, (ie for example a cryptographic signature) verifiable by the support PT, the electronic ticket CP being stored in the memory only in case of success authentication.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit ici, la borne TERM1 envoie, dans un message de communication COM6, un message au serveur SRV2 pour lui confirmer que le ticket de transport électronique CP a bien été délivré au support PT (étape D60).In the exemplary embodiment described here, the terminal TERM1 sends, in a communication message COM6, a message to the server SRV2 to confirm that the electronic transport ticket CP has been delivered to the support PT (step D60).

Ce message est reçu par le serveur SRV au cours d'une étape C80.This message is received by the SRV server during a step C80.

Au cours d'une étape C90, le serveur SRV communique, au cours d'une communication COM7, avec le serveur bancaire SRV-BK pour débiter le compte de l'utilisateur. Il utilise à cet effet l'identifiant ID-CB de la carte bancaire de cet utilisateur.During a step C90, the SRV server communicates, during a COM7 communication, with the bank server SRV-BK to debit the account of the user. It uses for this purpose the ID-CB identifier of the bank card of this user.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit ici, le serveur SRV1 envoie un message court SMS, au cours d'une étape C100, au cours d'une communication COM8, au téléphone mobile MP pour lui confirmer ce paiement.In the embodiment described here, the server SRV1 sends a short message SMS, during a step C100 during a COM8 communication to the mobile phone MP to confirm this payment.

En variante le paiement peut aussi être réalisé avant l'établissement de la communication COM5 : l'utilisateur peut prépayer le ticket électronique auprès de SRV2 en utilisant son téléphone mobile MP ou un autre terminal.Alternatively the payment can also be made before the establishment of COM5 communication: the user can prepay the electronic ticket with SRV2 using his mobile phone MP or another terminal.

Ce SMS est reçu par le téléphone mobile MP au cours d'une étape B40.This SMS is received by the mobile phone MP during a step B40.

L'utilisateur peut maintenant utiliser son ticket électronique de transport pour accéder au réseau de transport.The user can now use his electronic transport ticket to access the transport network.

Nous supposons dans cet exemple que la borne TERM2 permet l'accès à ce réseau de transport.We assume in this example that terminal TERM2 allows access to this transport network.

Lorsque l'utilisateur approche son support PT de ticket de transport électronique (étape E30), devant le lecteur RD de cette borne, une communication COM9 sans contact s'établie.When the user approaches his support PT electronic transport ticket (step E30), in front of the reader RD of this terminal, contactless COM9 communication is established.

Cette communication COM9 est une communication de courte portée (de l'ordre de quelques centimètres) par exemple conforme à la norme NFC. Il peut aussi s'agir d'une communication avec contact.This COM9 communication is a short-range communication (of the order of a few centimeters) for example in accordance with the NFC standard. It can also be a contact communication.

En variante, la borne peut communiquer avec des moyens de communication sans fil ou sans contact avec un contrôleur du téléphone mobile MP, ce contrôleur étant relié au support PT par un connecteur.Alternatively, the terminal can communicate with wireless communication means or without contact with a mobile phone controller MP, the controller being connected to the support PT by a connector.

La borne TERM2 permet alors l'accès de l'utilisateur au réseau de transport, après vérification de la validité du ticket.The TERM2 terminal then allows the user access to the transport network, after checking the validity of the ticket.

Dans la cas d'une application de transport, la vérification de la validité peut consister à vérifier la validité d'une date d'accès ou à des zones déterminées couvertes par le réseau.In the case of a transport application, the validity check may consist of verifying the validity of an access date or specific areas covered by the network.

L'invention peut aussi s'appliquer par exemple à la distribution de tickets électroniques de spectacles ou de tickets d'accès à un bâtiment.The invention can also be applied for example to the distribution of electronic tickets for shows or access tickets to a building.
