DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a ticket which functions as a reservation certificate for various services such as trains, buses, ships, airplanes, amusement parks, concerts, etc., even if the ticket is obtained anonymously, for example. The present invention relates to a ticket-related information providing system that can provide ticket-related information including a related message as if addressed to an individual who obtained the ticket.

[0002] Further, even if a huge amount of ticket-related information is broadcast from the information provider side, the present invention provides information necessary for a user from among the huge amount of ticket-related information. The present invention relates to a ticket-related information filtering method and a ticket-related information receiving device used when narrowing down and storing the information on the information user side.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various services such as trains, buses, ships, airplanes, amusement parks, and concerts have been provided.
When a user attempts to use such various services, it generally depends on the ticket system shown in FIG.

In the conventional ticket system shown in FIG.
First, when a user receives a reservation for use of a service provided by a service provider, the user pays the service provider and receives a ticket issued by the service provider as a proof of the use reservation. At this time, in addition to the case where the user and the service provider directly communicate with each other, there is also a case where the agent is exchanged with one or more hierarchies in the middle.

[0005] The ticket records service identification information for identifying the reserved service. This is generally in a form that is identifiable to users, service providers, and even fair third parties, such as printed in characters. Further, other contract information such as a price is also involved, and a ticket devised so that such information is not forged often takes the form of a simple certificate.

When enjoying the provision of the service actually reserved, the user presents the ticket to the service provider. The service provider provides the service after confirming that the user is a legitimate user with this ticket. At this time, if the price paid at the time of the reservation is only the price for the reservation, the difference is paid, and if the price paid at the time of the reservation is the total price of the service, no additional payment is made. Also, once used, the ticket may be collected by the service provider, may remain at the user's hand, or a stub may be collected and the stub may remain.

In such a conventional ticket system, possession of a ticket indicates that the user has the right to receive the service, and the purchase and exercise of the ticket can be performed anonymously. . With some exceptions, a ticket may be arbitrarily requested for purchase and exercise, but this is not essential for establishing this ticket system.

[0008]

However, the above-described conventional ticket system has an advantage in terms of privacy protection because of the ability to purchase and exercise tickets anonymously. Because of this, there was also the inconvenience of not being able to follow information including guidance messages related to various services.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and while maintaining as much as possible the advantage of a conventional ticket system in terms of privacy protection, a guide message relating to various services. Ticket-related information providing system that can follow information including
A first object is to provide a ticket-related information filtering method and a ticket-related information receiving device.

[0010] By the way, when attempting to provide such an information providing service, the amount of information including advertisements that must be handled by the entire system is expected to be enormous. If this information is simply provided to an unspecified number of users, the user will not be able to make effective use of the necessary information because the information that the user originally needs is buried in the vast amount of information. Would.

[0011] Therefore, the present invention provides an information providing system that can provide a user with necessary information from a huge amount of ticket-related information even when a huge amount of ticket-related information is broadcast from the information provider side. A ticket-related information providing system, a ticket-related information filtering method, and a ticket-related information reception that allow users to expect the effective use of originally required information by preparing a mechanism for storing and presenting information to information users by narrowing down The provision of the device is a second problem.

[0012]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 includes a message relating to a target service which can be used by presenting a ticket which functions as a use reservation certificate for various services. An information provider that provides ticket-related information via broadcast media,
An information user provided with a receiving device for receiving the ticket-related information broadcast from the information provider, and a ticket-related information providing system comprising: The information provider side broadcasts the ticket-related information together with destination information including the destination of the ticket-related information, while the information provider In the receiving device, the ticket address information is registered in advance, and when the ticket-related information and the destination information broadcast from the information provider are received, the received destination information and the registration With reference to the registered ticket address information that has been received, the destination determination related to whether or not the received ticket-related information is information addressed to the ticket is performed. When it is determined that the received ticket-related information is information addressed to the ticket as a result of the destination determination, the received ticket-related information is stored, and the stored ticket-related information is stored. The point is to present.

[0013] According to the system of the first aspect, first, on the information provider side, the ticket-related information including the message related to the target service is added together with the destination information including the destination of the ticket-related information, for example. Broadcast via a satellite digital broadcast medium or the like. On the other hand, in the receiving device on the information user side, the ticket address information including the logical address of the ticket possessed by the user is registered in advance in the receiving device on the information user side, for example. Here, the correspondence between the destination information broadcast from the information provider and the registered ticket address information registered in the receiving device on the information user side is, for example, as described in claims 2 to 4. The relationship is maintained such that the destination can determine the destination. Therefore, when the ticket-related information and the destination information broadcast from the information provider are received, the received ticket-related information is referred to by referring to the received destination information and the registered ticket address information registered. Performs a destination determination on whether or not the information is addressed to the ticket possessed by the user, and as a result of the destination determination, a determination is made that the received ticket-related information is information addressed to the own ticket. When this is done, the ticket-related information relating to the received own ticket is accumulated, and the accumulated ticket-related information is presented.

Therefore, the service is actually used only by performing a very simple operation such as registering the ticket address information including the logical address of the ticket possessed by the user in the receiving device on the information user side. As a result of being able to enjoy the provision of useful information services when doing
It is possible to follow information including guidance messages related to various services in detail while maintaining the superiority of the conventional ticket system in terms of privacy protection as much as possible.

[0015] Even if an enormous amount of ticket-related information is broadcast from the information provider, it is necessary for the user to determine the destination from the enormous amount of ticket-related information. Information is stored and presented on the receiving device of the information user, so that the information that is essentially necessary for the user is not buried in the sea of enormous amount of information. There is also an advantage that it can be expected to be used effectively. Furthermore, for example, in the case of an information providing service for trains, if information is provided by narrowing down to the user who gets off at the arrival station at a certain arrival time, "If the customer arrives at this station at this time, It is also possible to provide a promotional message such as "I recommend fresh OO.", And as a result, it is possible to realize effective advertising that is finely targeted and also expected to improve consumer confidence be able to.

Here, a specific example of an information providing service that can be enjoyed when the present system is introduced is as follows.
You can enjoy information services such as notification of suspension / cancellation / closed / closed performances and change of use conditions, change of use conditions for reserved trains, getting on / off, transfer stations, etc., and advertising of peripheral services, etc. Furthermore, it is possible to enjoy an exhaustive information service, such as enjoying follow-up after using the service.

[0017] Of the above-described specific examples of the information providing service, changes in use conditions, guidance of ancillary facilities, advertisement of peripheral services, and follow-up after using the service will be described in more detail below.

(4) Follow-up after using the service Information on refunds, thanks for using the service, apologies for mishandling, contacting lost items, asking for witnesses to incidents and accidents, etc.

Further, as an application example of the above-described service information provision form, for example, the following form can be considered.

(Application Example 1) Issuing a Coupon to a User As an application example of the above-mentioned (4) Follow after using the service, the following meanings "Thank you for using", "I am sorry due to mishandling" An application of delivering coupons and the like as messages can be considered. In this case, it would be necessary to combine a message with a so-called conditional access technology that delivers information only to the intended destination and a security technology such as an authentication technology that prevents forgery. However, the simplest method is to use the security of the ticket itself and validate the coupon for the first time with the used ticket or its stub. Of course, it is also conceivable to send a discount coupon or the like for promoting use as a message. In this case, since strict security is not required, it can be realized by the basic system as a part of the peripheral service advertisement.

(Application Example 2) Transmission of Personal Information A service of transmitting mini-comic information or personal information for a specific small number of persons is also conceivable. For example, "I'm holding an event at @ Kawara. I can see it from the train window, please support me." Or "The couples are going on a honeymoon with this train. Please send me a message such as "Please thank you for the kindly car No. ladies, thank you." In addition, it is conceivable to commercialize such a message transmission service as a new information providing service.

As described above, the operation and effect that the basic system according to claim 1 can achieve have been comprehensively described. Here, the information providing service according to the present system is realized as simply as possible. Proposing a mechanism to do this would be extremely important in disseminating this system.

[0026] From such a viewpoint, the invention of claim 2 is the ticket-related information providing system according to claim 1, wherein the ticket address information includes service identification information by which the type of the target service can be identified. The gist of the destination information is to include the service identification information to be the destination or a list thereof.

According to the invention of claim 2, each of the ticket address information and the destination information is an information providing service related to a train boarding ticket, and is described as follows: boarding date, boarding station, getting off station, train number. -Each includes common service identification information such as a seat number, and the destination information includes a list of service identification information instead of the service identification information itself if necessary. As a result, a new information providing service according to the present invention can be realized by using the service identification information added to the ticket in a form such as a character record as it is, so that the information providing service according to the present system can be simplified as much as possible. Can be proposed. Further, according to the invention of claim 2, there is an advantage that the information provider is most suitable for grouping ticket-related information to be provided for each type of service.

Also, from the same viewpoint as the second aspect of the present invention,

FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram focusing on a destination determination function.

In the description of the first to third embodiments according to the present invention, common members are denoted by common reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

First, a schematic configuration of the basic ticket-related information providing system 11 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. An information provider 1 that provides ticket-related information M including a message related to a target service that can be used by presenting a ticket that functions as a service reservation certificate, via broadcast media.
2 is a ticket-related information providing system including an information user side 17 receiving the ticket-related information M broadcast from the information provider sides 12 and 16.

More specifically, in the first ticket-related information providing system 11, ticket address information C including the logical address of the ticket is added to the ticket. In 16, the ticket-related information M is broadcast along with destination information A including the destination of the ticket-related information M, while the information user 17 registers the ticket address information C in advance, When the ticket-related information M and the destination information A broadcast from the information providers 12 and 16 are received, the received destination information A and the registered ticket address information C are referred to. Performing a destination determination on whether the received ticket-related information M is information addressed to the ticket, and as a result of the destination determination, the received ticket When it is determined that the related information is information addressed to the ticket M, the received ticket related information M is stored in the receiving device 15 of the information user 17 and the stored ticket related information M is stored. Is presented.

The first ticket-related information providing system 1
In the first method, first, when the user 17 receives a reservation for service provision by the service provider 12, the user 17 pays the price to the service provider 12 and receives a ticket issued by the service provider 12 as a proof of the reservation. . At this time, in addition to the case where the user 17 and the service provider 12 directly exchange information, there is also a case where the agent 14 intervenes and exchanges the information therebetween. This part is the same as the conventional ticket system described above.

The ticket records service identification information S for identifying the reserved service. This is generally in a form that is identifiable to the user 17 and the service provider 12 as well as a fair third party, such as printed in characters. In addition, it is often accompanied by other contract conditions, such as a price, so that such information is not forged, and is often in the form of a simple certificate.

Furthermore, ticket address information C is recorded in this ticket. User 1 who received the ticket
7 registers the ticket address information C in the receiving device 15 for the present ticket-related message providing system 11.
Various forms of adding the ticket address information C to the ticket, such as characters, bar codes, and magnetic information, can be realized, and registration to the receiving device 15 is also performed according to each form. That is, when the ticket address information C is in the character recording format, the characters are read and input operation is performed, and in the case of the bar code recording format, the ticket address information C is input using a barcode reader (not shown).
In the case of the magnetic information recording mode, the ticket address information C is registered in the receiving device 15 by inputting the ticket address information C using a magnetic information reader (not shown).

As described above, the receiving device 15 for the ticket-related information providing system 11 has a function of inputting and storing the ticket address information C recorded on the ticket, and includes the ticket-related information including the message related to the target service. Message destination information A broadcasted along with information M
It is simply called “destination information A”. ) And the ticket address information C to determine whether or not the message is addressed to the ticket owner. If so, the message M
And a function of presenting the stored message M in response to an operation of the user 17.

When the service provider 12 sends a message related to the service or the ticket to the user 17 who has reserved the service, the destination information A is added to the ticket-related information M and the satellite Broadcast through digital broadcasting media such as transmission channels. This broadcast may be performed by the service provider 12 on its own,
It may be performed via the broadcast service provider 16.

The destination information A is generated, for example, in accordance with the procedure shown in FIG. Here, the configuration of the destination adding apparatus shown in FIG. 4 which constitutes a part of the broadcast transmitting apparatus will be briefly described. The destination adding apparatus inputs the service identification information S of the target service, and stores and holds the information in itself. A database 13 having a function of converting the input service identification information S into ticket address information C of the target ticket by referring to the correspondence between the service identification information S and the ticket address information C, A message destination generating unit 41 that generates destination information A of the message from the ticket address information C, a message destination adding unit 43 that adds the destination information A generated by the message destination generating unit 41 to the message M of the target service,
Since the message M with the destination information A, that is, the ticket-related information M, output from the message destination adding unit 43, is broadcast via the broadcast transmitting device of the information providing side 12 or 16, is there. The message destination generation unit 41 described above generates ticket destination information as shown in FIG. 5 from the target ticket address information, for example.
It also has a role of generating a list of ticket address information and a determination procedure. The function of FIG. 4 is installed in the service provider 12 or the broadcast service provider 16 according to a specific case. In addition, the service provider 12,
When the broadcast service provider 16 or another third party sends a message M to the user 17 who has reserved a specific service for the purpose of advertisement or the like, the service provider 12 or the broadcast service It can be realized by entrusting to the provider 16.

When the receiving device 15 receives such ticket-related information M, the receiving device 15 refers to the destination information A added thereto and the ticket address information C stored earlier, and transmits a message addressed to the registered ticket. It is determined whether or not there is. If it is determined that the ticket-related information M is a message addressed to the registered ticket,
The ticket-related information M is stored, and the fact that the ticket-related information M is stored is displayed. The accumulated ticket-related information M can be browsed by operating and presenting the ticket-related information M at the convenience of the user 17.

When receiving the provision of the service actually reserved, the user 17 gives this ticket to the service provider 1
2 The service provider 12 confirms that the user 17 has made a regular reservation with the ticket, and provides the service. This part is the same as the conventional ticket system. Even after receiving the service,
The service providing function of the ticket-related information M can still be used.

Also in the present system 11, possession of a ticket indicates that the user has the right to receive the service, and it is possible to anonymously obtain and exercise the ticket including purchase and transfer. The point inherits the features of the conventional ticket system. Furthermore, this system 1
1 has an advantage that the ticket-related information M including a message related to the target service can be provided to the user 17 who has reserved the specific target service, while being anonymous.

Here, as the above-mentioned ticket address information C, the following forms can be considered.

(Embodiment of Ticket Address Information C) (1) First, there is a form in which service identification information S capable of identifying a target service is used as it is.
The information providing service related to the train boarding ticket is exemplified and described as a boarding date, boarding station, getting off station, train number, seat number, and the like. Most basic, with little additional information to be recorded on the ticket. This is a method suitable for grouping by service type.

(2) Secondly, there can be mentioned a form in which the issue status identification information which is independent of the service identification information S and enables the issue status of the ticket to be identified is used. The information providing service similar to the above (1) will be exemplified and described as a ticket issuing company and a ticket issuing number. In this case, the correspondence between the issuing status identification information and the ticket address information C is stored in the database 13 of the service provider 12.
It needs to be accumulated. This is a method suitable for grouping according to the situation where tickets are issued.

(3) Thirdly, a form in which the correspondence between the ticket address information C and other useful information is given to a third party without knowing it. For example, at the time of ticket issuance, a form is provided by pseudo-random number information generated using a pseudo-random number generator (not shown), or encryption for converting the above-mentioned information (1) or (2) from original data to different data. For example, a form in which the processed encrypted information is provided. In (1) or (2) above,
When the destination information A is analyzed, although the individual cannot be identified, information such as what service is reserved for the user and where the user is reserved is obtained, so the possibility that the individual can be identified indirectly remains. On the other hand, if this form is used,
It is extremely difficult for third parties to identify individuals, even indirectly.

(4) Fourth, (1) and / or (2)
And (3) giving a value related to the combination. In this way, the advantage of (1) or (2), which is suitable for grouping, and the advantage of (3), in which a third party cannot identify an individual even indirectly, are extremely practical. System can be constructed. here,
In the case of the combination as described above, a small bit number can be used as the bit number of the pseudo random number information included in the ticket address information C. More specifically, when combined as described above, the role of the identification information portion of (1) or (2) for service identification or issuance status identification is that a plurality of tickets are uniquely assigned only by the identification information portion. Instead of identifying the information user, the configuration is made to give a role as information that can be roughly grouped to narrow down the destination of the information user. Instead of uniquely identifying each ticket, the information user's destination is configured to uniquely identify each of a plurality of tickets in the above grouped set to give a role as information that can be finely narrowed down. Therefore, the number of bits of the pseudo-random number information included in the ticket address information C is simply (1) or (2) And (3) born also advantage be used with fewer bits than in combination.

As the destination information A described above and a destination determination method using the destination information A, the following forms are conceivable.

(Destination Information A and a Filtering Method Using the Destination Information A) (1) First, the destination information A is used for the reference ticket address information C, which is the basis of the match comparison, and for the match comparison. And a configuration including mask information to be used.
The filtering method using the destination information A includes information obtained by applying mask information to registered ticket address information C registered in the receiving device 15 and reference ticket address information C
By performing a match comparison of

(2) A form in which destination information A includes reference ticket address information C serving as a reference for match comparison, mask information used for match comparison, and a list of ticket address information C it can. In the filtering method using the destination information A, the information obtained by applying the mask information to the registered ticket address information C is compared with the reference ticket address information C. If the two do not match, the target is excluded. And In the case of a candidate, the list of the ticket address information C is searched, and the registered ticket address information C is searched.
If there is, it is determined to be a target. The ticket address information C
Need not be a list of all bits of the ticket address information C, but may be a list of some bits as long as it is possible to distinguish between candidates and targets.

(3) A form in which the destination information A includes ticket address information C serving as a reference for a match comparison, mask information used for a match comparison, and a procedure for determining a target ticket. In the filtering method using the destination information A, the information obtained by applying the mask information to the registered ticket address information C is compared with the reference ticket address information C. If the two do not match, the target is excluded. And In the case of a candidate, the registered ticket address information C is evaluated according to the target ticket determination procedure, and target / non-target is determined.

Next, as an example of the configuration of the receiving apparatus 15 to which the above-described filtering method is applied, the following forms can be considered.

(Configuration Example of First Receiving Device 15) The first receiving device 15 is, for example, a home receiving device incorporated in a television and installed at home, and is recorded on a ticket as shown in FIG. The ticket address information C, which is inputted and stored via the ticket address input unit 23, is stored in the ticket address storage unit 25 functioning as a registered ticket address information storage unit, and is broadcast from the information providers 12 and 16 together with the destination information A. A message receiving unit 21 functioning as a receiving unit for receiving the ticket related information M, and ticket address information C
And a destination determining unit 27 that functions as a destination determining unit that determines whether the message is addressed to the ticket owner with reference to the destination information A and the ticket-related information M according to the destination determination result. And a message presenting unit 31 functioning as a presenting unit that presents the accumulated ticket-related information M in response to an operation of the user 17. . In the first receiving device 15, only necessary items are displayed or accumulated and browsed according to the reservation information or the filtering information.

(Example of Configuration of Second and Third Receivers 15)
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the second to third receiving devices 15 include, in addition to the configuration of the first receiving device 15 shown in FIG.
The primary determination unit 33 performs a primary destination determination step of performing a comparison between the information obtained by applying the mask information to the registered ticket address information and the reference ticket address information, and the primary determination unit 33 determines that the candidate is a candidate. The candidate message primary storage unit 35 for temporarily storing the ticket-related information M, and the primary destination determination step in the primary determination unit 33, when it is determined that the two match each other, Secondary determination unit 37 that executes a secondary destination determination step of searching for the presence or absence of registered ticket address information
And is further comprised.

Here, examples of the configuration of the ticket address input section 23 employed in the first to third receiving devices 15 include the following.

(1) The ticket address information C is recorded on the ticket as a magnetic stripe, and the ticket address input unit 23 in the receiving device 15 is a magnetic code reader.

(2) The ticket address information C is printed on the ticket as a barcode, and the ticket address input unit 23 in the receiving device 15 is a barcode reader.

(3) The ticket address information C is printed on the ticket as numbers, characters, or symbols.
A type of keyboard where humans read numbers, letters, and symbols and enter them using a numeric keypad, remote control, or keyboard.

Even if a person who has not obtained a ticket or is considering obtaining a ticket other than a legitimate user can input numbers and symbols by referring to, for example, a timetable. If desired, a mechanism that allows the user to enjoy the information providing service at a level equivalent to or within the allowable range of a legitimate user can be provided as necessary.

Next, a supplementary configuration and operation of the third receiving device 15 will be described with reference to FIG.

(Supplementary Configuration and Operation of Third Receiving Apparatus 15) In the third receiving apparatus 15, the ticket address information C is composed of service identification information S and pseudo-random number information. Performing very detailed destination designation using the service identification information S has a problem of "possibility of indirectly identifying an individual" as described above. Therefore, the service identification information has lower-level information from the beginning. Alternatively, only higher-level information may be used. This ticket address information C is stored in the database 13 of the service provider 12 or the broadcast service provider 16.

The destination information A is replaced with the service identification information S.
And the mask value of the service identification information S, and the procedure for determining the service identification information S and the pseudo-random number information. This determination procedure can be expressed in, for example, a procedural description language such as Java or ECMAScript. It is also possible to include a list of pseudo random number information as one of the descriptions of the determination procedure.

The filtering method realized by the third receiving device 15 is as follows. First, the AND circuit 51
The AND of the service identification S of the ticket address information C and the mask information of the destination information A is performed in
Performs a comparison between this value and the reference service identification information of the destination information A. The part so far corresponds to the primary determination unit 33 in the configuration of FIG. The operation of this part can be performed at high speed by hardware, and it is appropriate to do so practically.

The secondary determination unit 37 evaluates the service identification information S and the pseudo-random number information of the ticket address information C using an evaluation function according to the determination procedure of the destination information A in the evaluation unit 55, and performs an AND logic operation. In 57, an AND between the evaluation result in the evaluation unit 55 and the match comparison result in the match comparison circuit 53 is obtained, and the obtained value is output as a determination result. The case where both the primary determination and the secondary determination are true is the ticket-related information M to be received. Since the primary determination is performed at high speed to determine the ticket-related information M sent one after another and narrows down the candidate messages, the secondary determination can be performed by software.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be embodied in other forms by appropriately changing it within the scope of the claims.

That is, for example, in the description of the embodiment according to the present invention, the receiving apparatus 1 on the information user side 17
Although a home-use receiving device incorporated in a television and installed at home has been described as an example of the fifth embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but may be applied to a portable terminal that can be carried around when going out. It can be realized. Further, it is conceivable that one user 17 uses both of them. Even in such a case, the plurality of receiving devices 15
There is no problem in registering the same ticket twice. That is, it goes without saying that a plurality of receiving devices 15 can be used together.

(3) Transmission capacity The amount of information to be handled as a whole increases according to the scale of the system. However, since messages need to be stored once and then called and browsed at the convenience of the user 17, The transmission of the message need not be frequent. Therefore, it can be realized without increasing the transmission rate too much. That is, the information providing service according to the present invention can be realized at a reasonable cost.

(4) Security The ticket address is added with ticket address information C. This information is merely information for filtering, and the falsification / forgery of the ticket address information C is a service for receiving the original service. It does not affect the identification information S, that is, the function as the ticket certificate. That is, the added portion of the present system does not impair the security of the conventional ticket system even if the security is not particularly considered.

(5) Use of Home Terminal and Portable Terminal As the receiving device 15 of the present system, a home receiving device 15 incorporated in a television and installed at home, a portable terminal that is carried when traveling, and the like are considered.
